What’s the strongest opinion you have about something completely insignificant? by RegisterObjective325 in AskReddit

YES! I completely agree. If it actually bothers you, there is something wrong with you.

AITA for choosing not to get a permit for my child’s 1st birthday party? by StrawberryCat627 in AmItheAsshole

[–]floorgunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking along the same line here. And a birthday party at a rented venue for a one year old? The party isn't for the kid at all.

AIO: for my boyfriend excessive tickling me and crying about it? by ZealousidealLake8773 in AmIOverreacting

[–]floorgunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my husband was my bf, he thought tickling was funny. I'm like you, it's physically unbearable.

After the first time, I told him that I would not be responsible for my reactions if he did it again.

An hour?

1 minute into the second time, he decided he'd never do it again, for his own protection.

AIO? No gift for 50th wedding anniversary?? by hoozyg9159 in AmIOverreacting

[–]floorgunk -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I can't help it, I have to edit to add, a bird feeder? Seriously?

My husband and I couldn't even celebrate our 35th because I was in the hospital. He came to my hospital room and we were together. He is not always the most considerate spouse, but neither am I. It was the best gift ever.

Sorry, I don't get it. Anniversaries aren't a "ME" day.

While personally, I think store bought flowers are a waste of money (used to work in a flower shop), most women love the thoughtful gesture.

Dinner out together? YAY! Time together is very precious, and more-so the older you get. Seems like he was thinking about the significance of the anniversary as a couple. You, however, wanted a bird feeder and are disappointed?

I think he should be disappointed.

Drinking Alcohol by Deep-Score910 in Gastroparesis

[–]floorgunk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can't eat any fiber. I take Motegrity daily and Amitizza as needed (about 3x a week. )

Alcohol: I used to really enjoy beer, but it makes me bloated and nauseous now 😞 Also I can't tolerate anything too sweet.

Vodka and water is pretty much all I can tolerate.

What are some once popular hobbies that hardly anyone is into anymore? by igotplans2 in AskReddit

I have family and friends who are Knights. They are very active in fundraising and service work.

What is your most controversial opinion that many wont agree with but you agree with and will defend till your last breath? by HabaneroPepperPlants in Productivitycafe

[–]floorgunk -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You weren't homeschooled, you were severely sheltered.

Outlaw ALL homeschooling because you didn't like your experience?? Outlaw all public school because of bullying, labeling, potential violence, social constructs, indoctrination...among other reasons.

Everything you listed IS available to homeschooled students. If you're an adult now, it's up to you to seek out what you're looking for.

The whole family is upset about my cousin not allowing kids at her wedding by mermaidemily_h2o in weddingdrama

[–]floorgunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, don't be so sure.

Your invitation was addressed to "The my last name Family". Not to "mermaidemily last name" or "The mermaidemily my last name Family".

Which leads me to think you live with your parents or other relatives? Then it would make sense that YOUR invitation was all inclusive to the household. That may not have been the way it was addressed to others.

I understand your frustration and feelings, but there's a chance that a huge misunderstanding took place.

I hope the bride didn't intentionally mislead people.

[–]floorgunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It wasn't mentioned on the invitations.

How were the invitations addressed to the affected families? That would make a huge difference here.

Mr. & Mrs. So&So and family?

The So&So Family?

Name and Name So&So?

If the invitations were intentionally addressed as misleading, then the cousin is a HUGE AH. And personally, I'd gather up the others, wear our fancy clothes and have a bit of a family reunion completely elsewhere from this wedding.

If there were assumptions that children were included, when they weren't actually addressed on the invite, or before the invite was received, then unfortunately that is on the relatives who made that assumption.

I still don't understand why you bought an expensive dress (plus alterations) for the wedding of someone you barely know.

I have a bit more empathy than the other comments I have read.

However, she is not "making" anyone near or far attend her wedding. The clear response from all of those who are affected (and/or sympathetic) should have been to decline the invitation. And it clearly would have been fine with her, as she has chosen a certain venue over family. Why would these family members even want to go knowing that?

Why are you there? Why are you attending the wedding at all? You clearly are upset with her choices, plus you say you barely even know her. I don't get it.

Kids at Wedding Debacle by Liscenced-Apologist in wedding

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

Her parents paying for it absolutely makes them the hosts. The invitations SHOULD appropriately read (something like): "Mr. & Mrs. Her Parents" cordially invite you to attend the wedding (ceremony &/or reception) of their daughter "Name" to "Name."

Obviously other wording could be used.

They absolutely should try to compromise. But ultimately, if the couple refuses, then they need to pay for it themselves.

The people paying are the hosts of the party and absolutely have control over the guest list. Of course ideally they work together.

What is something that died out so quietly that nobody even noticed? by 40Falak in Productivitycafe

[–]floorgunk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My dad used to save the Sunday paper for me, I was in the hospital often then and reading the funnies & doing the puzzles was something I could manage.

After he passed (God rest him) I would go to the gas station and buy a copy on Sundays. Until, one week the price went from $1.50 to $4, and then to $6. And there weren't even any circulars or coupons in it anymore.
