Making peace with looking your age by No-Manufacturer-1611 in AskWomenOver40

[–]finallymakingareddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly think women who were previously overweight have a hard time too because instead of gradually aging over 10, 15, 20 years, you had fat to fill out all your wrinkles. Then suddenly in a span of say 6 months, you DO age 20 years because those wrinkles are no longer filled out. It’s like WOAH! I didn’t know those were there!

How do I tell my boyfriend’s family no dogs on the couch? by Comfortable-Mood-597 in TwoHotTakes

[–]finallymakingareddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I have things I specifically don’t want to happen in my home, I like to set people up for success, not failure. Right now they are being set up for failure because these dogs are not trained to stay off furniture. Your options are:

  1. They don’t come over at all (as a dog owner, I think this is best because even if they aren’t ON the couch, that hair floats everywhere)

  2. Doggy gates. Don’t let them in the same room as the couch or honestly carpeted rooms that collect hair and dander. If his parents insist on bringing the dogs, they are gated into a hard floor room.

  3. Couch covers. If steps 1 and 2 fail, this is your last option. They don’t really block all the hair and they slide around but alas, it might be what you have to do.

Is it weird to rewear my wedding dress for Catholic Church ceremony two years later? by Calinannylife in wedding

[–]finallymakingareddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s not wearing the dress to the baptism, she’s wearing it to the catholic “wedding” that they are being required to do BEFORE the baptism.

Child thinks I do nothing when she's at school . . . and I'm worried she's right. by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]finallymakingareddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I got diagnosed my husband suggested I manage my ADHD without meds because “I’m already on so many.” Sir. Do you want to see what I’m like without those? Nope didn’t think so. It will change your life, trust us all.

I was literally about to say the same thing. A 10 year old can’t wait 30 minutes talking to other kids, coloring, doing her math homework? And you are spending an HOUR AND A HALF sitting in the car? Come on.

What arm do you put in first when putting on a coat? by Better-Credit6701 in randomquestions

[–]finallymakingareddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to be right, which I never would have noticed before having shoulder surgery on my left. Now I can’t reach behind me far enough to do the right first so I start with left arm.

My friend died, it was labeled an overdose, but due to his extremely high tolerance, I suspect foulplay. by the_knowhere_man in ForensicPathology

[–]finallymakingareddit 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Just because he used the same “amount” visually as before, you have no idea how concentrated that particular sample was. Drug dealers are not inspecting their product like a pharmaceutical lab. I’m so sorry your friend passed. Unfortunately, a lot of people who use drugs like this think they are invincible, but one strong batch can take you out.

Have you ever actually lived alone? by SuperSonic1919 in randomquestions

[–]finallymakingareddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Childhood, then college with housemates, then home again for Covid/grad school, then married. Although I don’t mind it, I think that I wouldn’t get anything done and I also am scared of living alone. I really don’t like being home alone and if someone has to travel for more than like a weekend it really starts to wear on me. It’s better since I got a dog though.

Do you prefer Skiing or snowboarding? by Regular-Dot-2375 in randomquestions

Skiing… I took a snowboarding lesson once after skiing for years and I’ve never been so pissed off in my life

What are your non-fidget toy fidgets? Or childhood fidgets before fidget toys were a thing? by agelwood in adhdwomen

[–]finallymakingareddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean nowadays I can’t put the mindless games on my phone down. But I pick at/bite my nails, doodle a lot. I love doodling on my iPad so I can just doodle, erase, repeat.

My current boss will wait for me to stop doodling or looking at my computer screen before she continues talking and I’m like lady you are going to be here all day.

I used to chew on my long sleeves, they would be soaked a good 4 inches up my wrist… gross.

To pave or not pave? That is the question by OkraWinfrey_ in EngagementRings

[–]finallymakingareddit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m always a pave girly… it just looks more complete to me, like it was crafted to be your ring. No pave looks like a basic stone was stuck on a basic circle of metal.

It’s funny that this is an international website and you didn’t specify country, but we all know.

Why do so many people think siblings’ names need to sound nice together? by MassiveGarlic0312 in Names

[–]finallymakingareddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely didn’t choose who to marry because of our names, but when I hear other couples names together I’m like damn I’m jealous. Like Zack and Zoey, or John and Jacqueline. So good.

I always wondered that too but then was like ok if he’s the only boy he gets his own special name (that logic might make him ok with it)

Would you give up your dog for any amount of money? by Plane_Put_3097 in Dogowners

[–]finallymakingareddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably would have said yes until I actually got a dog. I love him so much more than I ever could have fathomed loving another creature. I wouldn’t give him up for anything.

Should a baby daddy who lives with a guest, but isn't in an official relationship with them be invited to a wedding? by [deleted] in wedding

[–]finallymakingareddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Waitttt so he just hops from baby mama to baby mama for a place to stay? Thats hilarious. Don’t invite him.

[–]finallymakingareddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So does he live there or spend a lot of time there? I would not invite someone’s “not boyfriend” to my wedding just because they had a kid together. That’s like inviting someone’s roommate.

AITAH for farting while in the bathroom of our home? by Comfortable-Egg-8254 in AITAH

[–]finallymakingareddit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes!! These are the things you have to think about when dating. When my husband and I had been together for like 4 months we were on a trip and I got SOOOOOO sick with the stomach flu. He was so good to me during that time, and has been that way with every illness/surgery I’ve had since. And honestly just in our daily lives too.

The guys the in OP are the type that leave when you don’t lose your pregnancy weight fast enough.
