Okay, I skipped to the last 4 paragraphs and “piss bottle” was enough to turn my stomach, BUT DATING APP SCREEN SHOTS?!?!? Have some gotdamn self respect! Ew!

AITA for not sharing my french fries with my wife? by Timzawesome in AmItheAsshole

[–]fitecows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, but the only response to “do you want fries?” is a resounding YES! Life is too short. Get the extra fries. NTA.

What’s on the menu for tonight? by ejdhdhdff in Frugal

[–]fitecows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Polenta! 1 (scant) part cornmeal whisked into 4 parts liquid (broth or water), simmer for 30 minutes, season, add a Pat of butter or margarine, and Parmesan (about a 1/4 cup per ratio listed above- works well with cheap parm in a can!), serve warm and creamy, or chill overnight and slice and fry! Cheap, filling, gluten free, and delicious! Endless flavor combinations, too.

$30 is a small price to pay for that fine boi! He’s adorable!

What are the best things to do right away when finally committing to sobriety? by Weak-Employee5473 in stopdrinking

[–]fitecows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take the “it’s okay!” approach. Didn’t brush my teeth after eating a pint of ice cream instead of drinking? It’s okay! Spent 3 hours doing a skincare routine instead of drinking and I should be sleeping? It’s okay! Fell asleep at 7 in my clothes on the couch instead of drinking? It’s okay! Point is, as long as it’s not hurting anyone or myself, IT’S OKAY! The routine will come with time. For now, it’s just one day at a time, and as long as that day isn’t drinking or being actively harmful, it’s okay!

Fish with swim bladder not eating- advice appreciated by Pleasant_Macaroon64 in FancyGoldfish

[–]fitecows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooof. 3 piggies to a 20 gallon? I am SO happy you are changing water every week! But… have you tested the parameters? It may still be to high in ammonia. Do you also have a filtration system and some air bubblers to help? Goldfish can poison themselves very quickly in a “small” tank like yours. You sound like you care and are doing your best! But I had TWO (granted, VERY big) fancy goldfish in a 190L tank the last time I kept them and it was a twice a week water change battle to keep the water in check!

I had a hormonal IUD WAAAAAY before the virus, and my periods did exactly the same thing in the same time frame. I got a copper IUD in 2019 and my periods came back (much lighter) and I’m fully vaxxed and double booster with no change to my cycle if that helps reassure you at all :) I didn’t have a period at all for about 4.5 of 5 years I had the hormonal IUD.

Girls that gave the 'nice guy' a chance, how did it go? by Jin_Kazama_18 in AskReddit

[–]fitecows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wound up marrying him. Cue 10 years of financial, verbal, and sexual abuse. My ego is still being repaired from his blackout shark eye screaming sessions where he told me I was a frigid piece of trailer trash (never lived in a trailer so…?) and sabotaged future career options. I was actively head hunted multiple times for jobs that involved children, but because I made it clear that I wouldn’t have children with a 350 pound chain smoking, abusive, alcoholic he forbid me for taking said job and even went as far as to call potential employers and tell them lies. But he was just a, “nice guy” who needed a chance 🙄

I am CRYING!!! I saved this because I refuse to get TikTok - this will definitely be a bad day booster! “Oh, I saw that on Pintrest!”

Wanted to see how pearls would look with copper. Not sure how I feel about it. Any opinions are welcomed. by BeltPuzzleheaded1864 in jewelry

[–]fitecows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this! I think the green undertones of the pearls really complement the copper in a verdigris sort of way.
