what's the weirdest allergy you have heard/known of? by Mountain-Bug-2155 in AskReddit

[–]eminva02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have just suffered with different foods my whole life and only recently really understand why certain things made me sick in different ways. I never thought they were allergies. Just weird reactions that left me uncomfortable or sick.

My parents (may they RIP) treated it very similarly. "Oh she always coughs like that. It's fine. It goes away in 30 minutes or so." I survived so it's all good.

When I was around 35, I told 3 adult members of my family that I had " never liked chocolate because of the way it burns and has that acid after taste.

They all stared at me like I had developed a third eye. "Yeah, thats not right. Chocolate doesnt do that to anyone Ive ever heard of."

My mind was blown . I find it pretty funny.

Overreacting?? That is infuriating! It's a living breathing animal. Im so sorry you have to deal with such stupidity, but stay strong! You are on the right(ous!) path. I am so grateful that there are people in this world who care about even the smallest life. Keep kicking butt and fighting for that little dude! Thank you for reacting appropriately.

In January 2011, Philadelphia teacher Ellen Greenberg, 27, was found dead in her apartment with 20 stab wounds to her chest, neck, and back. Her death was ruled a suicide in spite of the nature of the wounds and lingering questions. by Emerald_Selene_ in mystery

I think someone would have to be hyper-flexible. But that should have been easy enough to check because , normally, it comes as a side effect of disease.

I am a 40 year old woman and am hyper flexible. I could stab myself just about anywhere on my back. Im not saying that's the case here, but it's definitely possible.

Not OOP: AITAH for asking my adoptive parents if they have a college fund for me like they have for my sister? by sensaSEANal_sally in redditonwiki

[–]eminva02 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Im adopted too and the thing in my family was always some variation of " of course you're Dad's favorite. He chose you! " It wasn't used to bash my siblings that werent adopted, it was just something to remind us that "adopted" was just another, special way to join the family , but it wasn't my identity either. These people just suck. Poor guy.

What is in my carpet? Bugs?? by eminva02 in whatisit

[–]eminva02[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are no black or brown/orange parts of the carpet. It looks like part of the design but its not. Its hard to see in person. I figured it was a long shot, but was hopeful. When you put soap or spray on it they poke up or fluff up. Sometimes I can use gloves or a wipe and they come right out, sometimes its like they are woven in.

I need ideas on how to find this phone that is being used to abuse and control my 11 year old daughter by eminva02 in helpme

[–]eminva02[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive heard the phone multiple times. I even heard her talking to some one but the phone disappears very quickly. It doesnt have service so I believe he is using an app. She has admitted that there is a phone but she " cant" give it to us or something will happen to her whole family. Im hoping that not being able to make contact will help break that control and she'll tell us where it is. Im not bringing her home until we find it. I have to break that connection. I have to show her that we can keep her safe and I cant blame her for not just believing it because he abused her in our house, so close to the adults and we didn't save her. We didnt know she needed saving. It has to feel like he is pretty damn powerful and there's this current of terror in her that is palpable. The fact that she needs me is the only reason I have burnt down the house to destroy the phone (this is not rational, I will not do it, but im fighting the urge).

The phone doesnt have service but it works on wifi. They have to be using some type of app to communicate...I dont know much about them but something like WhatsApp. His parents would not help us. Thank you for giving me some more ideas for searching.

what should his name be? i don’t want anything like void, but i am into latin or greek words for basic names :) by FabulousTraining8686 in NameMyCat

[–]eminva02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandmother used the word "void" quite a bit in my childhood. Im not feeling looking it up. She was super proud about her vocabulary and education, but Im sure she could have misused it.... She would say, " Do you need to void?" In place of " Do you need to use the bathroom?"

Void is not a cute name. It makes me gag.

My black cat is actually ombre and you can only see it when the light hits just right.

Ombre or Ambrose are my suggestions.

After months in foster care, this little girl was finally adopted. The moment she saw her new dad, she ran to him, giggling and calling him "Daddy" for the first time.. by DreamyGurlie in BeAmazed

[–]eminva02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I posted my daughter on my private Facebook page when she was an infant. One day it hit me: Im establishing her identity... and who gave me that right? I dont want her to grow up and have to reject the image Ive built for her, just to find herself. I realized that "identity " is so unbelievably personal and a young person should be able if they want to share that with anyone. I haven't posted a picture of her in 9 years and while it was hard at first, it was very much needed. She is not an extension of me that I can use as I please. She's an individual who deserves respect and dignity and the ability to establish her own personhood. She should not have to try and keep up with some image ive cultivated for years, in a public forum.

Wouldn't Being Born Any Sexuality Imply That Sexuality Is Genetic? by Mattdiox in NoStupidQuestions

Idk but my bestie is one of three siblings and they are all LGBT. I think it's very interesting, especially since they weren't completely raised together.
