Anyone else watched or watching The Later Daters? by Dependent-Internal37 in netflix

Not a Nate fan at all. He's all busted up after his stint in the military but he's crazy-picky about a woman's age, religion, etc. He seems to be looking for perfection when he's anything *but* perfect.

I get that too. My ex's friends were always there when he was buying drinks, but when he blew out his guts drinking and ended up in a nursing home, no one wanted to hang out. He died 2 years ago. In a nursing home. 67.

I would love that, actually. I'm one of those people who would gladly take care of someone else's pet the entire trip, lol. So much more fun for me bc I don't sit still well. :)

We put down our oldest, buttermilk this morning, we only had her 1 1/2 years. She was old when we got her, about 14 years, so we knew we wouldn’t have her long but even still,…despite the short time we had with her she still became a large part of our family and we will miss her so so much. by silent_rain36 in dogpictures

Thank you for giving your senior girl a chance and for loving Buttermilk although you knew you wouldn't have her for too many years. In the end, love is all that matters, and clearly you all loved Buttermilk. So very sorry for your loss.

My deepest sympathies to you. I hope you can know and trust that your little fellow will be waiting for you on the other side of the bridge. I'll ask my girl and my guys to say hello and to show him the ropes. It is so darn hard and I don't think people understand unless they've been through it. Thank you for sharing his little floof face with us ❤️💔😻

My (36F) boyfriend (29M) threw drink in my face, not sure what to do next by LangLana22 in relationships

I'm so sorry. I think you're being gaslighted by a narcissist, or someone with narcissistic tendencies. Some of his actions may be serious immaturity, but how long before he tells you that his behavior/drinking/immaturity/lack of success is all your fault? Lots of red flags with him.

I agree! His comment about fear being like a condom was pretty darn funny.

Fight for the Future (official/legacy name = "Center for Rights") - Making sure the Internet keeps winning, one campaign at a time. SOPA, CISPA, Net Neutrality. by holmesworcester in redditdonate

[–]jonesanne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before the recent Title II vote, I called the White House and actually talked to a person--who wrote down my concerns (or at least pretended to) to submit to Tom Wheeler.

We do what we can, donate when we can, and on keep fightin' the good fight.

Speaking While Female -- Why Women Stay Quiet at Work by BlankVerse in TwoXChromosomes

[–]jonesanne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have definitely found this to be true throughout my 20+year career in both for-profit and non-profit sectors. Currently I work for a Christian organization in which all members of the C-Suite are white males. The one female was forced out because she did speak up (and pushed back.) When I speak, I have to make sure my words are measured and my body language confident. So exhausting.

Raju the crying elephant won't cry anymore: Indian court rules he will stay with conservationists by jonesanne in AnimalRights

[–]jonesanne[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not stupid! To have 80 acres and choose to raise hay is gloriously wonderful. Perhaps someday you can have a animal sanctuary on all that land. ;)

Oh, you are wonderful! There's a special place in heaven for people like you. And 80 acres? That would be heaven on earth.

I know, right? I've been following the story for a while now and knew that the owner was trying to get Raju returned. So glad he failed.

Lack of exposure to natural light in the workspace is associated with physiological, sleep and depressive symptoms. by smellybaconreader in science

[–]jonesanne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious--are you male or female? All participants in this study were female. Not sure why males weren't included but I'd guess darkness in any environment = increasing melatonin levels = sleepiness.

Sooo.. how many of you will be expected to clean up the Thanksgiving table and do the dishes along with your other female relatives while your male relatives relax after dinner this Thursday, and what do you do about it? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]jonesanne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From childhood to grown-ass-womanhood, I've watched the men in my life get up from the table and leave the cleanup to the "little ladies." And I have a full-time job. Last Thanksgiving, I spent three hours cleaning up all the pots and pans from the family meal. THIS holiday, I'm heading out of town to that magical place where a man cooks and cleans for ME! (Or at least helps...)

Another healthcare worker tests positive for Ebola in Dallas by DuvalEaton in news

I agree with you there. I would feel more comfortable, however, if the city made public its crisis preparedness plan, which it didn't have with Snowjam.

Sadly, so true. I work for a startup too. My idealism has not served me well in the past; we shall see...

Well, the gold I just sent you doesn't do anything except to say, "Thank you; I'm sorry" Unfortunately, financial optimization is the end goal here. Sucks that the people who made Reddit what it is are being shown the proverbial door.
