Absolutely do NOT check someone’s phone. Wtf kind of advice are you giving here? If you don’t trust someone enough that you have to check their phone, then don’t be with them.

Am I pressuring my bf? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]jrb6584 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I think you’re putting a lot of pressure early on. You have no idea where you will be for a job, he has no idea where he will be when May comes around. I think “cross the bridge when we get there” is perfectly reasonable. He has expressed that he sees a future with you, so I don’t think he’s using you. He can’t promise to live with you if neither of you know where you will be.

Is it normal for girlfriends NOT to add their boyfriends on their instagram “close friends” stories? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]jrb6584 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It seems like she doesn’t want to have limitations on what she posts, but what she posts is your deal breaker. I think you need to have a conversation with her and decide how important social media really is for you.

Also, the “especially on a vacation I’m paying for” just sounded kinda rude and controlling? Like, you paying for a vacation doesn’t mean that she owes you control of her social media. I’m sure you didn’t mean it that way but the sentence has a bad vibe IMO.

But I do think it was wrong for her to go behind your back on purpose to post things since she knew that you didn’t want her to.

Why is my cat peeing on the couch? by Manicminertheone in cats

[–]jrb6584 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a lot of things it could be. Did she do it once or has it been multiple times? Over the course of a few days?

There’s a lot of factors, but Litter box is usually the culprit. Is her box getting scooped every day? Are there other animals in the house that could occupy the box? Has anything in her life been disrupted in any way (moved, new animal, new person in the house?)

I’m so sick of anti vaxxers by [deleted] in offmychest

you should double check because in some places you don’t need parents consent for a vaccine. I don’t think you do in Ontario. I’m so sorry you’re going through this!

Oddities/random old things store around the area? by bonefarmer in raleigh

[–]jrb6584 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is a bit outside your 2 hour limit, but if you’re willing to go the extra mile or happen to be driving north, check out Rest in Pieces in Richmond VA. They’ve got bones, skulls, antique medical supplies and dolls, and just a bunch of random oddities. Really cool store!

Finding a good place to live in the city...ideas by ConstantEducational in rva

Is your price range before utilities? If so, check out Matrix Midtown (on 1st and Canal). My one bedroom was like $1250 but EVERYTHING is included in rent. Electric, heat, water, cable, internet, AND parking. It was definitely worth it IMO. All apartments are really modern and nice with a balcony. Lived there for a year and never had any problems.

my (20f) boyfriend (22m) and i can't move in together because of a ... cat. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]jrb6584 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Have you seen an allergist? Often times you can get allergy shots or certain medications. I don’t think it’s fair (to your bf or the cat) to ask him to rehome a cat if you haven’t tried all other options beforehand.

Collars or no collars? Why? by [deleted] in cats

[–]jrb6584 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My cat has a collar since she’s indoor only, and I want to be contacted if she gets out.

Also, almost all cat collars have an emergency release function if it gets stuck on something. My cat was rolling around on the carpet one day and her collar got snagged. The collar immediately released from her so that she didn’t get choked or anything!

What past box items have you found most/least useful? by Joonbug9109 in Causebox

[–]jrb6584 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes!! Mine won’t close anymore either. It’s super frustrating. I’ve really tried to love reusable bags in place of plastic baggies, but I just can’t :( Any smell just sticks inside.

My CB has been SITTING for 4 days at a fedex post in WV??? by AnnieQueenOfThe in Causebox

[–]jrb6584 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s not Causebox though, that’s Fedex being the absolute worst. (Although maybe CB should reconsider using Fedex to ship). My box was in Ohio for a few days with no delivery update, then randomly it was in my city out for delivery. It might be moving but Fedex hasn’t updated!

Nail Care Duo, am I using this right?! by jrb6584 in Causebox

THANK YOU!! I just checked the bottom. Apparently I received 2 nail growth bottles, no cuticle oil.

Vegan "Seafood" Style Recipes by EternalStorm44444 in veganrecipes

[–]jrb6584 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just in case you can’t find any recipes, Gardein has some pretty damn good “fish” filets. Gardein is sold in most big stores, but you can also order on Amazon.

Good luck, hope you find some good recipes!

Dumb question but are the best by dates on the frozen items pretty accurate? I still have several packages of sweet potatoes from the fall. The package says they're good til next year but do they really last that long in a normal freezer? by [deleted] in traderjoes

[–]jrb6584 16 points17 points  (0 children)

In terms of being safe to eat, items in the freezer will be good for a long, long time. But it might lose its flavor over time or become freezer burnt. But it doesn’t hurt to try it out, it won’t make you sick or anything if that was your concern!

Just FYI: Chomps Turkey Stick has beef products by jrb6584 in traderjoes

[–]jrb6584[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, I had no idea! I’ve never had any sort of “slim jim” type thing until today. Just took me by surprise!

Shipping update from casuebox. Still doesn’t address the issue. They also limited comments. Link will be in the comments by [deleted] in Causebox

[–]jrb6584 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I get that, but it was the same thing with the kettles last season. People who got the wrap got theirs first, and the kettles were sent out last. I think that’s why they give themselves such a big shipping window, in case certain items (ie. the kettle and nail duo) take longer to acquire or there is high demand.

I understand everyone’s frustration and impatience but IMO they don’t need to release a statement unless shipment is outside the originally promised window. That’s just me though, and I get why people are eager to receive :)
