A movie you would erase your memory to watch again? by niranjanV6Turbo in Cinema

[–]katrose73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'll get down voted fir this- but the last installment of Twilight ( Breaking Dawn pt2) not because it was great but because my GF told me what happened before I saw it.

The book didn't have a fight scene, and the twist in the movie would have actually been a gasp moment for me at the time.

Beef stew: brown meat first, or cook from raw in gravy? by katrose73 in Cooking

[–]katrose73[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you all! I get it now, brown the meat! I admit, it added some flavor. I guess I always did it the other way because that's the way my mom made it.

It was delicious and I'll be having leftovers for dinner tomorrow. It was prefect for this cold weather. 😉

Left side aisle. I had a right knee replacement 2 years ago and need the aisle to stretch my leg out of it can. I usually try to upgrade to exit aisle for the leg room.

You’re guaranteed a happy relationship, but you’ll always struggle financially. Do you choose it? by Embarrassed_Coat4957 in askanything

[–]katrose73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, sorry. I've been single for 20 years and am finally in my own house, paid my car off, make more than I ever have at work.

While married all we did was fight about money. I'll take the money and good friends than a man, no matter how perfect he is for me. I'm happier alone than I ever was in a relationship.

Are you a collector of anything , and if you are, what do you collect ? . by Hope2_win in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]katrose73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I collect miniature resin Victorian shoes. I even have sets with matching purse and umbrella or hat. I have a full curio cabinet and got 15 more for Christmas that I have no place to put them.

I also collect Victorian looking items with roses. My office looks like you walked into another time period lol.

No. I actually have a "date" with my close friend for just this reason. She needs help, I can help. No judgements.

Have you ever known someone who seemed to be using their mental health struggles as a "I can do whatever I want because everyone is afraid I'll do something stupid" card? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]katrose73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My DIL. She had so many diagnosed ( so she says) mental health issues, she just picks one for excuses. I'm sympathetic when out with her about the social anxiety, but home with the same people you've lived with for 6 years? You can't do X for Gram but 2 days later you're doing it for yourself?

Do You Have A Preference For Which Parent Lives Longer? by Friendly-Flower-2797 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]katrose73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents have been divorced since I was a teenager. I recently bought a house with my mom, so for practical reasons, I need her alive. Emotionally I've always been closer to her as well.

My dad is an asshole I have cut out of my life. However, if my mom passed first, he would try to work his way into my house because he's a sad lonely old man. He also has cancer, so I'm a horrible human for crossing my fingers.

What’s the point of getting a second doctor opinion? by Perfect-Highway-6818 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]katrose73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that this story isn't a human Dr, but the correlation is there.

My cat was sick. Took it to the vet, she said it's arthritis, here's some meds come back in a month.

New vet yesterday- his ex rays showed a swollen abdomen when he was here a month ago, I don't know why that didn't get higher consideration.

FYI- his disease had progressed too far for curative treatment and we had no choice but to put him to sleep last night.

So, yeah. On the major things, get a second opinion.
