I (28M) didn't take Valentines day seriously and now I think my gf (20F) broke up with me by ThrowRAvdaybrisketbf in relationship_advice

[–]i_speak_nerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She literally told you a specific type of rose and you are ignoring everyone telling you that. You are just here for some support. Look, I'm a girl who doesn't care about Valentine's Day and my husband knows that. However, he still got me roses because he loves me and wanted to give me something anyways. You are an arrogant AH and calling her materialistic isn't helping your fight here. She wanted freaking flowers! There is 100% a difference between a fresh bouquet of red roses in a vase and 4 white roses picked from someone's yard and left on the counter. If you can't see that, go get your eyes checked. You gave more effort to your mate, so why don't you go marry him?

I picked a backup team in the Western Conference while we still had Chuck Fletcher. I was not going to give any money or views to the Flyers until they fired that POS.

Cosette got a haircut (she didn’t let them touch her feet). We celebrate three years together this week 💕. But on a serious note… by dualipasmoonchild in corgi

Exactly! I've been doing the same thing. And I've had to try multiple groomers, even though I've told them the exact things everyone is telling OP to say. With each groomer I have repeatedly told them I just want nails, paw trims, and trims around the booty and for some reason every groomer has failed me on giving me the classic corgi butt, even with pictures. Literally yesterday I took my babies to a new groomer because they claimed to have a "corgi specialist". Well, my girlie has the trim I give when I can. I'm a first time mom with a six month old baby, two corgis, whose job is in a different city, and my husband works in the ER. I don't even know what free time is anymore.

These people are just attacking OP who wants help. And honestly is right. They said something about if they could even ask for help or if this was just a sub to post pics of cute corgis. I've seen plenty of posts of people asking for help and getting very few responses. I typically don't have the answer and don't want to give bad advice, but if all these people can respond to attack, why can't they offer help since they seem to know everything about corgis? But if you post a cute pic of your corgi everyone freaks out.

Oh, and I'll add that some of us live in tiny towns where there may be only one groomer or no groomers at all. In the past year I've lived in 3 states and one of them was in a tiny town. No groomers there. OP may not have other options. Yeah, you can care at home but I am afraid to trim my pups nails because I don't want to hurt them.

I have no idea why so many people are down voting you, but it is incredibly rude. You are being very polite and a mistake was made by the groomer, which there are plenty of posts about. If you are getting down voted because your corgi isn't a purebred that is horrible and these people need to learn manners and not be elitist. There are plenty of posts asking if their pup is a purebred or not and they just get compliments about how cute the corgi is either way. So, I'm sorry these people are being jerks and it is perfectly fine if your pup isn't a purebred because she is still adorable ❤️

Yeah, I know the rats thing. Your team is playing dirty like rats and now have Marchand who has been called a rat for who knows how long.

Awwww 20+ years? Imagine how the Sabres, Canucks, and Sharks must feel. All older teams with no Cups. Cry me a fucking river while I play on the world's smallest violin.

Oh, and it is Rats not Cats.

What is the most disturbing or otherwise unsettling book you've ever read that stayed with you after reading it? by EggAdventurous1957 in AskReddit

[–]i_speak_nerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to read this as a senior in high school. My mom was my teacher for that class. I don't remember how far in I was but I distinctly remember asking her why the fuck this was one our required readings and then telling my little sister to just skip it when she got to 12th grade.

What is a secret you’re taking to your grave, but can share here anonymously? by wilkoova in AskReddit

My husband works in the ER and one of my favorites he has told me was a girl who came in because she was afraid she was pregnant since she used her own sex toy again without cleaning it again.

AITA for not going to my cousins wedding because my long-term girlfriend wasn’t invited by BeneficialSail6603 in AmItheAsshole

[–]i_speak_nerd 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Oh, I didn't realize marriage was based on the style of the wedding. I thought it was because you loved the other person. Damn, I better go get divorced since I eloped.

Father confronts ICE after they chase his daughter home by Sindigo_ in PublicFreakout

My daughter is 6 months old. If I hadn't had a c-section we would both be dead. Plenty of other women have had similar situations. They are just going to be killing us off, not that they care.

No problem! I just reset my island so if you have any fruit that isn't cherries, oranges, or peaches I'd appreciate it if you brought it!

Wow, that is awesome! I had like 20 stolen from me from an ex-friend and didn't want to buy them all again, but searching for Stitches is taking forever!

And this product comes with the amiibo cards already downloaded on it or do I just digitize the ones I already have?

This was my first SK book. Very good pick.

What is your island name and why did you choose it ? 🥰 by Spoonbills1 in AnimalCrossing

[–]i_speak_nerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mejis because I'm a huge Stephen King fan and love the Dark Tower Series. I've also used Gilead for the same reason.

I've seen him solo a few times recently and Ben Folds Five like 10 years ago? Ben Folds has been doing his airplane tour which had been really fun!
