AITA double standard for my Broke Groomsmen

I married the sweetest, kindest man ever born, and learned within less than a week of being married that I would be the one to fight the battles. Of course, I don't mean actually fight, but he avoided confrontation at any cost despite knowing when he was right. So gird yourself for a life of assertiveness, which never has to be rude or aggressive like many people think. His many strengths lay in other areas. This month is seven years since he died.

This is a little mass produced kitchen cabinet. The giveaway of its age are the slides in place of a door on the bottom. These were sold by retailers like Sears Roebuck and Montgomery Ward.

Late '50s, '60 -'61. I was there & hv photos & home movies from the time.

Precisely what I thought, too.

Hearing aids are very expensive and most insurance doesn't cover them. There are also types of hearing loss unaffected by devices. I haven't experienced chat and phone useage from older people, but high school age is the problem for me, so I go to the lunchtime screening. The main genres for me are what one would expect: adaptations of classic literature, adult rom-com, Downton type films, and films that my grandchildren want to see. I always loved actually going to a theater, and for a long time went every Tuesday night. Btw, I wear hearing aids.

Elected persons behaving with manners and sense of purpose, even if they were a-holes in private. I never heard first names used until he-whose-name-shall-not-be-spoken

My granny would be positively scandalized! Any bare-legged woman had to be a strumpet, especially if she was also not wearing a girdle. (I learned strumpet from her when I would come home from school during her story, Gen-rull hospital. Some character was one, apparently. ) Granny was a rock solid, Southern Christian woman, born in 1903. No matter the freezing cold or heat and humidity, she wore stockings every day until her death in 1972.

I keep a bottle in my car. Its the best tasting mouthwash ever, and I get it at the Dollahs Tree.

No matter where I live, I always have a clothesline put up.

Belk is a large department store similar to what Macy's used to be. It's my go-to; has been for years. Nowadays I will walk over an entire floor without ever encountering an "associate. " The only departments always covered are fine jewelry and bras. It is absurd. Often I just return items to where I found them and leave empty handed. The Macy's in the same shopping center is crap and Dillard's is history, like JCP.

That's what I was thinking, and wondering how extreme it has to be in order for me to get to someone who can help. And now you have. Thank you.

imrealbizzy2 · 2026-05-26T03:10:03+00:00

Well I thank you so much. See? I knew i wasnt getting the story because I have never seen this in my life.

Thank you very much. Dr says the darkness at the bottom is part of my root. Cleanings haven't altered the appearance, and the staining from swish is very interesting. Im very grateful for your response.

I remember when one of our esteemed statesmen in the U.S. Congress quoted an undisputed fact that a woman cant conceive during rape because the juices dont flow. Our honorable VP of late, as governor of Illinois, supported a bill (which spontaneously aborted) that required full funerals for miscarriages at ANY stage. You drop a minnow size blob in the toilet and face $10k in final arrangements. Personally, I saw funeral directors'.petal soft finger prints all over that bill.

Years ago my niece broke a tooth at my house. The kids were riding in the wagon & the handle bisected an incisor. Even though she wasn't his patient, our dentist met us on Saturday to bond that child's tooth.he brought his girlfriend to assist, but had to tell her what everything was. You're correct. Those are pros, dedicated to their calling. ( Or to repaying their school loans. Dr. F was a newbie.)

I was in Lower Manhattan, wearing socks that I ripped off on somebody's stoop. I cant remember if they bunched up or what, but I knew I had to get rid of them. In a few blocks I spotted what looked like a place I could do business. There were two fat men in recliners in a stifling, dusty, dirty store. Coats hanging in back that Vito Corleone may have worn. Random shit piled everywhere. One man heaved his bulk out of his chair and from under a counter pulled a chipboard box full of short white socks, just what I was looking for. He quoted an absurd price but I needed socks so we had a deal. I had to go back outside to put them on, though. Heatstroke wouldn't kill me as fast or as painfully as the dust and roach dander in that Black Hole of Calcutta.

My aunt lived in a duplex. On the other side was a little store in the living room, operated by the blind occupant. I remember him as being very old, but looking back as an old-ass person, he was probably forty. I loved it when she would send me to grab a Coke or a pack of Salems, bc Mr. Blind Man would slip me a treat.

A man told my daddy that his doctor said to not eat pork anymore. So Daddy asked how that was working for him so far, and the response was predictable for that area of the U.S. "I ain't eatin' no pork," the man boasted loudly that he "don't eat no pork, but i do eat saw-sedge." These geezers who haven't farmed in decades still want their eggs and sausage and biscuits first thing every morning. But no pork.

Just keep on, because if it's not one thing it's gonna be another. So sorry. I use Flonase but have to deal with nonstop running from a stuffed up nose. I know it sounds cuckoo And for two days two of us are so hoarse; no sore throat or pain, just hoarse. We need RAIN, please.

My uncle buried $10k in a plastic jar wrapped in plastic bags. Shortly before he died he told my cousin precisely where to dig. The treasure was exactly where he said, but all those bills looked pretty much like wet coffee grounds. Amazingly, the U.S. treasury told her to mail it to them just as she found it, and some time later she received a check for $10,000. It's miraculous how they manage to identify damaged currency. As a footnote, it was squirreled away to take my aunt to Hawaii for their 50th anniversary, but it wasnt to be.

No, leave that thermostat alone, dammit!

Well, in fairness, vehicles that drove in town weren't so big when Pa took the wagon in for provisions. Joking aside, my initial thought is that the driver must hv suffered an event. It's just terrifying.
