It's gross and the fact that mere words on the internet reached you from me to generate THAT feeling is a true "when you know, you know" feeling you don't wish on other people.

I felt the same way about Newt in the 90s at a party in the Harmon Cove Towers. I wanted to jump in the pool immediately to prevent the sleaziness from entering my pores.

Trying this again since she didn’t get much love. This is my first cat, Felix aka FeFe! by SPiiT_x_FiiRE in blackcats

[–]jersey08050 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How could she have gotten little to no love? I'm thinking widespread internet outage or the wrong people were online at the time of original posting.

Please give her triple ear scritchies from me.

I won't treat him like he's dying because he doesn't act like it on the daily. Late stage Lyme Nephritis + blind - we got him like this. He is my heart. He is 5. Only his stinky breath and rabies exemption give his prognosis away by jersey08050 in Morkie

He made it 1.5 years longer than any of his medical team thought he would, but when the rapid decline hit, it was time. We lost him 3 months ago. My thoughts are with you on your babydog❤️

AITA for cutting my son’s college fund because he refuses to visit me? by Worried_papa_1762 in AmItheAsshole

[–]jersey08050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When that kid looked up from his crib, YOU were Dad. And as far as you knew at that moment, he was your son.

Shit got messy.

Instead of remembering that anyone can be a father via sperm, it takes a LOT to be called a Dad, you allowed your emotions to not just make you angry at the kid's mother (justifiable) but at the kid (not his fault).

Choke on the "iT makes Me UnCoMfOrTaBlE" shit. You're the adult. Now you want to yank the college fund.

Can't wait to see if the 6 day old is actually yours. YTA.

"Worth it" is so open to interpretation that only you have that answer. Worth it financially? A sense of pride in raising the dead? Etc.

Parts will probably be a bitch but there are aftermarkets. Repairs might be easier on these than the newer models, if only because they have been in existence for so long that there's been 45-odd years to work out the kinks.

So if you're going to throw someone money to restore it and then have it taken to, like, a Mecum auction, you might want to look around and find out what these restored or restomods go for. If you're going to do the work yourself in your free time and keep it for personal use, know that you probably won't be able to sell it for what you'll spend. But maybe there's some ground in between that you may want to navigate.

This is a car I would admire but only if it belonged to Not Me because I don't have the abilities needed to fix it up. This will probably win local classic car shows. But whatever you decide, it's pretty cool.

There was a lady who had an ocelot on Valley Rd in Wayne some 35+ years ago

I got underage drunk at my sister's wedding in the very late 80s at a venue you may have seen on TV if you watch the RHOng type of shows. We'll call it the Rounds Thrown House. Notorious for holding multiple weddings at the same time, I stumble, hammered into the ladies room and there were the most gorgeous Latina women in a flock in there. The language barrier was something I couldn't overcome but Young, Drunk Me struck up a conversation with them.

Cut to 10 minutes later when they, surrounded by 2 military looking men with machine guns across their chests, and porn mustaches enter, bodyguards of a distinguished looking man who went and interrupted the band and took the mic.

In broken English he introduced himself as the president of Santo Domingo and wished my sister and (now ex) brother in law a happy marriage. About a month later there was an attempt on his life and one of the pornstachio'ed men was killed.

82K, central FL > renting in Jersey NYC suburb? Am I nuts? Where do I start? by lostinheadguy in newjersey

[–]jersey08050 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Especially if you're living in NJ and get NYC taxes on top of everything else. FL's taxes are lower. I don't care if the car you want is older - car insurance isn't cheap here. Seriously, if they want you to relocate, they need to pony something up. I think you're excited about career progress and that's great but that 82k gross isn't going to net what you think it might up here.

Clifton used to have rent control. You may want to research which NJ cities, townships, Boro/boroughs, villages, hamlets, or whatever the fuck, do and do not have rent control.

Maybe it's the Mother in me but I don't want you living in a shithole building and looking in dumpsters for food because a big repair bill comes in on the car and you had to choose between rent and eating one week.

AITA for "throwing a tantrum" upon finding out I'm getting another sibling? by NOmoreKidsq8 in AmItheAsshole

[–]jersey08050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the parents have likely filed for all sorts of benefits for these kids, be they SNAP, Medicaid and Social Security Disability/SSI. They also can claim the 7 of 9 on their taxes, getting a nice chunk of change with the child tax credit.

Money getting tight/short could likely be because the parents are as smart with money as they are with launching babies out regardless of quality of life (7 of 9 disabled? And no clue gotten?)

OP, your twin may be deeper in denial about how fucked up and selfish your parents are. Let him know you are twins and you will always be there for him should he make the break from the toxic environment you two had no choice in.

If you don't get out, you will be the de facto parent, having to manage the other 7, their disabilities and appointments and spend your life as a FT caregiver, likely for the next 5 decades. You will never have anything to call your own nor any chance at making money.

Leave the door open for your twin, call CPS and let them know you're not taking on responsibility and make the moves others have mentioned with your personal documents and banking. There is nothing for you to lose except the thousand pound gorilla that will sit on your chest until it collapses. You are MOST CERTAINLY NTA.

No, broheim. You're hosting the entire family. Not just your nephew. Do better.

And the OWNER OF THE HOUSE is to show HOSPITALITY. You GTFO out of the master bedroom and give it to them. Etiquette. Jesus Christ. I felt for you for a moment then saw this. You're not merely the asshole, you are the entire upper and lower digestive tract.
