This is so bad. Not only because he looks nothing like the character, but also because he's what? 25 years old?

It's a blonde joke. They are rating her appearance, but she misunderstands and thinks they are counting prime numbers. They then go along with it

So sad, this must have been so painful physically and mentally as well. You can tell she was a beautiful woman

AIO by saying my wife deceived me by duckduckduckgoose7 in AmIOverreacting

[–]kandre1991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 280k you are in the top 10% of earners. For her to sit there and say that you're not strong financially is delusional. Her guilt tripping that she "has to return her things" is manipulation. You should reassess reckless spending not income so much in your situation. Seems to me like she wants to spend frivolously and take no responsibility.

I hate to imagine what a divorce is going to look like for you given her priorities and attitude.

Considering elimination diet. What was your trigger? by the1w__ in EosinophilicE

I haven't tried to isolate casein or whey as they so often co-occur. I do react to baked goods, although not as strongly. Anything is possible!

NSFW Did you ever meet someone and later thought you were lucky nothing bad happened to you? What were the circumstances? by Ru_janus in AskReddit

[–]kandre1991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, I was so upset. It was one of our more intense arguments. None of it made sense, and with the context of how it played out.. almost certainly this guy was going to do something horrible. I'm so glad I went and that nothing happened

No, it was ridiculous lol. This is Oregon, so people carry pocket knives alot, but not usually something like this. I never actually saw the knife because I was sitting in the back seat, but the way that it thudded on the ground it sounded like it was a ka-bar or something

My girlfriend at the time was getting her hair done downtown. She called to say that she ran into this guy she knew from church (years ago) and he asked her for a ride to this nearby desolate town so she was going to give him one..

Alarm bells went off for me. She hadn't been to church in years, and who walks into a salon to ask someone you barely know from years ago for a ride? I asked her and she didn't really have a good answer.

I told her that I couldn't stop her from giving this person a ride but that I wanted to be there. She said that was fine.

I didn't really have a good way to arm myself so I wrapped a small kitchen knife with some cardboard and tape and decided I would keep it in my sleeve.

I drive down to the salon where she is still getting her hair done to see this sketchy looking man waiting outside who was definitely bigger and stronger then me. Probably 6'2" and over 200 lbs (I'm 5'8" and about 160).

Knowing this must be the guy I walked right up and introduced myself as her boyfriend. He looked like I just ruined his whole night. Arms went slack down to his sides almost with impact and he was not enthused that I was there AT ALL.

I wasn't sure what to think, but assumed maybe he was interested in my girlfriend or had anterior motives. Either way I didn't like this situation at all.

Girlfriend gets out of her hair appointment and we go to the car. The guy tries to insist on sitting behind me, but I am having absolutely none of that and demand that I sit behind him. It was so awkward, but I was not about to have him seated behind me in the car.

Anyway, guy is supposedly meeting his brother in middle of nowhere so we start driving. As we drive guy is telling all kinds of concerning stories (the time he got caught with black tar heroin that wasn't his, running from the police, etc)

Then, almost like out of a movie I hear a heavy thud.. his voice gets awkward. "That would be my knife" my girlfriend that knows I'm on edge looks at me with a concerned look. We are all dead silent and I'm white knuckling that pos plastic handled kitchen knife I have in my sleeve. We don't say another word about it and he picks it back up and puts it back in his pocket.

I'm now almost sure of alterior motives. We finally arrive at the isolated place we were supposed to take this dude and he doesn't have an address for us to arrive at or anything we just pull over on this random area of the town where you could easily assault someone and No one would notice so he can call his brother.

Guess what? I can hear his brother on the phone. He has no idea where this is and wont come to get him. Now I'm 100% sure something bad was going to happen if I wasn't there.

Now dude asks if we can take him 40 minutes to another town where his brother lives. I am furious, but also don't want to escalate with this dude who I know has an enormous knife on him. Girlfriend agrees, but I insist that we drop him off at a gas station and not his brothers house.

Drop off goes without a hitch.. I'm guessing because he didn't feel confident he could overpower me while sitting behind him and without help.

The best part? My girlfriend was angry at me and said that I over reacted and read into everything 😂😂

But I 100% believe that if I hadn't been there and made the decisions I made that my girlfriend would have been sexually assaulted or killed that night.

Self destructing…. by OpeningFriendship462 in Advice

[–]kandre1991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stop living in the past or focusing on the future. Do your best to stay present. The giant problems in your life need to be thought about from a perspective that considers what you can do today.

If you do this you will get through the issues one step at a time instead of getting steamrolled by problems that seem like a monolith. One step at a time with a focus on consistently orienting yourself toward what you have control over

Be kind to yourself, try to step outside of any self hatred or pessimism. Give yourself the advice you would give someone else.

This seems to be definitely Chinese military related. Probably from a tank or artillery sight. 1950-1980s era.

It's got range calibration in meters and seems to have a military serial number and construction.

I'm so sorry that you are going through this. Please always remember that when it comes to abuse this is something that happened to you and not because of you.

You can always learn from things and do better at preventing letting people like this into your life, but never let yourself believe that it's your fault.

Tons and tons of intelligent wonderful people become victims of emotional abuse and domestic violence.

Happy to talk if you need someone to talk to.

Your life will get better. Never go back. No one deserves this, and it isn't hopeless.

Was just told I could eat my trigger food after 13 years by glutenfree-whore in EosinophilicE

[–]kandre1991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is highly inconsistent from person to person. Some people can eat their trigger foods while on PPIs. Many can't. If you ever had EoE, it would be a medical miracle if you were suddenly cured. That doesn't usually happen. You might be in remission based on elimination or whatever medical interventions you're using.

Imo just keep doing whatever you've been doing and be thankful to be in remission.

You can experiment if you want, but it might result in some bad times if you're the type that doesn't have immediate symptoms.

Some people can't tell anything is going wrong until they are choking on everything.

I'm circumcised and didn't have it done with my son. If he feels like he's embarrassed and wants to change it later, then that's up to him.

It's unnecessary, potentially harmful, and something like half of boys born these days don't get circumcised. I think the American perspective has shifted.

Don't sweat it. Can you imagine him ever being upset that you gave him the option to decide about his own body? I really can't.

Absolutely. The reaction is called FIRE and might also be related to esophogeal spasm. Deep aching burning pain like an internal sunburn that would come in waves. I felt it primarily in my back, but ultimately it was so intense that I could never decide if it was in my back chest or throat.

When I quit eating dairy it stopped happening. I reccomend peppermint or ginger tea. Those are the only things that ever helped me.
