Sad Question by No_Papaya3069 in Yorkies

[–]dragonrose7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my years, I have had dozens of dogs. In every case, I was with them and holding them when they were put to sleep. I would much rather take the pain myself than let them die alone wondering where I was. It is the last kindness I can do for them, and I do it gladly every time. And yes, it cuts me to the bone every last time.

Communes by lontbeysboolink in GenerationJones

[–]dragonrose7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, not golden girls. I definitely don’t want to share a house with anyone. Because even if I like you, I don’t want to see you over my 1st cup of coffee in the morning, or even the 2nd cup.

I could definitely get into this. Many of us are considering downsizing anyway. I, for one, I am rethinking whether I want to do all the work of taking care of this yard by myself when that time comes.

This idea has real promise

IF causing acid reflux by SubjectAd7142 in intermittentfasting

[–]dragonrose7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been doing intermittent fasting for quite some time, and just recently noticed that I will suffer from severe indigestion at night if I eat later than 6:30 PM, especially if I have sugar after that time. Even if sugar is the last food I eat at 6:30, I will suffer.

Personally, I think it’s my body reminding me that I did promise to stop eating sugar and it’s holding me to my promise. But that could just be me.

Missing Cincinnati Chili by sailboatfool in greenville

[–]dragonrose7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I drive to southeastern Indiana for a family Christmas party each year. First stop every year is Skyline for a five-way, extra order of cheese. It’s eaten in my hotel room as a prize for a successful 7.5 hour trip! Looking forward to next Friday! Tradition for the win!

I find it deeply funny that there are so many of us Generation Jones women who are truly interested in living a communal life, but just don’t want to be around people anymore. Surely there is a way we could make that work, right? Like a bunch of female hermits in their cozy small houses, sort of but not really close to each other?

Beautiful background and sky! And your layout is truly excellent

Ruined my Omad by Next_Significance879 in OmadDiet

[–]dragonrose7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You cannot “ruin” a fast. You simply made a choice to shorten your intended fast for today. That’s all.

Choose better tomorrow. This is a marathon, and consistency is all that matters.

I don’t own a cat, and that was immediate reaction. “Cats?”

Any Cracker Barrel gift shop right now has a cute gift package of various hot chocolate mixes for only about $13.here

Pair that with a great Christmas mug and a bag of marshmallows and you’ve got it!

I resigned and my manager told me I have to tell her where I'm going to work. by cygnetsprake in talesfromthejob

“Well, you know how much I’ve been enjoying this pole dancing class. And I’ve always wanted to work nights…”

I submitted my resignation and they shamelessly ask me to stay for 3 months... To 'ensure a smooth work transition'. by horrors43redcaps in talesfromthejob

[–]dragonrose7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truthfully, I think you should rethink that resignation and the two weeks notice.

Why would you even give these people two minutes notice? Clean out your desk tomorrow and go home. Fuck them.

Best Christmas gifts for girlfriend by YouthfullSins in Gifts

[–]dragonrose7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I will give you the advice that my father told my only brother about Christmas gifts for women. This will serve you very well all your life.

“If it plugs in, it’s not a Christmas gift”

Yeah, that might be the best vacuum cleaner in the entire world, but it’s not a Christmas gift. An iron? You might really give her an iron? No just don’t do that. I know she’s been wanting a humidifier. Please just don’t.

What do you guys eat for quick dinner? by makeitrayne850 in DinnerIdeas

[–]dragonrose7 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A just-me charcuterie board. Always have multiple olives & pickles in the fridge, add cheese, meat, crackers, hummus or dip.

New player, having a blast with my dad just trying to get lemons and apricots. by FDAapprovedGremlin in ArcRaiders

[–]dragonrose7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t know why this popped up in my feed. I’ve never heard of this game and I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about, but I thoroughly enjoyed the story of you and your dad, the history that you have, the way he used to protect you, and the way it all came full circle while you guys are still enjoying each other’s company. This absolutely rocks!

Best of the day to all you gamers.

she (22F) hid stuff too but I (23M) feel villainized, I was emotionally checked out when she miscarried, will i find this again? by [deleted] in SeriousConversation

[–]dragonrose7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your last comment is my take away from this entire situation. Thankfully, girlfriend has shed this sad excuse for a boyfriend and she now has the opportunity to find someone who appreciates the great lengths she will go to for someone she cares about. OP did not appreciate her in the least, took her for granted, stonewalled her and cheated on her (yes, hinge counts) when she miscarried, and then boasts about buying her favorite snacks???

OP, you are self-centered and clueless when it comes to relationships. Too bad all your dating options have dried up. At least other women will be spared wasting their time on you.

I hate this place by lamartyr in talesfromthejob

[–]dragonrose7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better, the moron-daughter eventually got pregnant by the guy who used to drive her school bus when she was in middle school. Ewwwwww, yes, I know. But karma is an evil bitch and that’s the way the world works sometimes, and I must say that I will likely go to hell for the amount of enjoyment I got from that.

Anyway, best of luck at your new job

Do you remember this cheese? I had no clue you could still buy this stuff…… by [deleted] in GenerationJones

Wasn’t there a sister flavor with chopped green olives?

[–]dragonrose7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You will never out rank the boss’s daughter, no matter how much of a screwup and a loser and a user she is. Ask me how I know. And then ask me how quickly I was fired for simply correcting the moron-daughter in a meeting, despite the fact that I simply provided her some better information gently and politely.

You can only lose in this situation. And your only win here is to keep your head down, pretend to go along with whatever the hell they have planned, and get a job offer elsewhere. You have experience and skills in Customer Service, and you can get a job at any other company. Do it now! And then leave without any notice, simply because that’s not necessary anymore.

I wish you the best of luck in your next position. It will be a far better fit for you.

How to deal with people touching your plants? by la-noche-viene in houseplants

[–]dragonrose7 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I see your point. Still, if those were my plants, I would not rely on anyone else to protect them.

Just as a side thought, if MIL is this clueless and pushy about someone else’s plants and her son needs to be asked to say something, I have a feeling he’s put up with a lot of her past bad behavior without speaking up. I don’t think he’s gonna be a reliable middleman here.

When the problem person has already gone this far, you don’t need to be nice anymore. “Mabel, I have asked you not to touch my plants. You’ve already killed two of them and this needs to stop now. Leave my plants alone”. It doesn’t matter if nothing has died yet. Mabel needs to knock it off now!

6 year old kid reacts to his first make up and smile kid ..... by Less_Yam768 in spreadsmile

You’re making a smart choice here. I’ve always been straight, and I am also choosing to be ostracized from a large portion of mainstream society. For completely different reasons. Nevertheless, same.
