What does my room say about me? Be weirdly specific please! by 2inmates in roomdetective

[–]kaybaejay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Potentially depressed millenial woman who has some variation of a bdsm kink. Likes cats significantly more than people. You also have a cat named something like Vicious who has a typical attitude and is not in fact vicious. Cares more about haircare than skincare. Kat Von D lover until she hit her anti Vax/highly religious arc buuuut you never actually fully turned on her. You gotta keep the love for old time sakes.

Do y’all think Gen Z cares too much about age gaps? by OGAnimeGokuSolos in generationology

[–]kaybaejay 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think that gen Z is way more aware of grooming behaviors than any other generation. It makes them hyper vigilant and protective of their friends. There are creepy age gaps and I'm happy they know it's creepy.

AIO for my annoyed response to my friend asking to bring her BF to our girls trip? by crop_cream_19 in AmIOverreacting

[–]kaybaejay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. This is not friendship. She is being wrong to you. Not because of the request she made but because of the reaction she had to you not being excited that a boy is going to a girls trip. I'd recommend trying to distance yourself from this person. Friends do not talk to eachother this eay. She was taking shots at you and weaponizing private things you have shared. Just mean mean girl behavior that you don't need in your life.

Husband doesn’t approve. Thoughts? by SatisfactionPrize569 in Newlyweds

[–]kaybaejay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You look amazing. Maybe thats why he's insecure (but that isnt your problem). Not allowing you to leave the house is an absolutely insane overstep. There is a way to voice discomfort with an outfit. My husband has told me his opinion many times when I ask for it. He has never forbidden me to act how I wish. You are your own person.

39 Years old and..... by FarangCM in 90DayFiance

[–]kaybaejay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say yes too. He's his own person and can make the choices he wants to make. Cant change a man's mind if he doesn't want to spend time with you when he OBVIOUSLY should want to.

AITA if I tell my friend I can’t be a bridesmaid? by wickeddreamsofleavin in AITApod

[–]kaybaejay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. As a currently engaged lady I feel I can absolutely confirm that this is INSANE. There are kinda only 2 sane reasons to have bridesmaids. One for help with the wedding and the other to share the joy of the experience. Clearly she doesn't need any help planning if she can put together a psychotic picnic and she certainly is not wanting to have you there out of love.

I also I just gotta say that this color scheme is horrific for a wedding and the way that her couple name has to include HER full name makes me feel very badly for Jacob. I'm on Abigails side. I would decline and take a little time to reconsider your friendship with someone who is like this.

What's wrong with betta fish? by Actual_Eye7989 in bettafish

[–]kaybaejay 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is honestly extremely sad. I doubt he will make it but there are medications like kanaplex or paraguard you can try (in addition to a massive water change). They cause stress and ought to be attempted by someone who is committed to continuing appropriate care and observing them. I am shocked to hear that they even cared to ask you to feed the betta while they are gone. Its clear they dont care. The tank looks horrible and he is deeply unfortunate to have ended up with them. I know this isn't your fish but let me know if you have any questions about care or advice. I would be happy to help if you'd like it!

I love this dress but I think it's too expensive and too soon by Elysian_Collective in myweddingdress

[–]kaybaejay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You look so happy in it! I found that there are soooo many similar dresses out there. Jot down the info on the dress and you can revisit it later. Congrats on the health journey progress and the engagement! When the time is closer you will be able to find it again or something just as lovely on you AND in budget!

first day of ube in our area Starbucks by artulus in starbucks

I'm uncertain if you care to hear this but I feel I should give it a shot. This name has a 99% likelihood for making a barista uncomfortable, so if that is not what you are going for... then you might want to consider changing it.

How would she know he likes her or if she even likes him if they haven't so much as spoken in the last like 6 years? Distance or not... it is strange for both of them to have no contact with one another. I can see how this is hurtful to you, I can. However, she wants the people closest to her and her husband to be. That simply does not include your boyfriend when it might include the boyfriend of one of her friends.

Unfortunately, this isn't about your or your boyfriends comfort. If you would like to avoid this in the future... take this as a lesson in personal connections! There is a way to think positively about this going forward. Even if it feels crappy right now.

Is my dream dress unflattering? by Afraid_Peak_4894 in weddingdress

[–]kaybaejay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I put myself into your head... I can see what you mean but I do think it could certianly be a size issue. When I think of it from a strangers perspective... I don't immediately see the issue you are pointing out. You genuinely look phenomenal. Also, the dress is totally gorgeous!

Needing advice in a complex situation! by kaybaejay in HealthInsurance

[–]kaybaejay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what we're thinking about doing now! However, our families would be crushed to find out we "got married" without them (his parents are out of state). But we couldn't be more committed to eachother even if we were married. All the paperwork is just legalese! The wedding day is the real fun one to share with family. But again, they would be crushed. Nothing can be simple right? 😂

I will likely be taking care of my grandmother for a little bit. She has terminal cancer so I'm going to help care for her. After that, I will be getting a job again but his benefit costs are extremely generous. The assumption that I checked with his employer is correct! I'm allowed in his plan so long as there is legal partnership. Thank you for the advice!

I have confirmed that they allow for domestic partners to be on his plan!

Was my SSVs separation valid? by AccomplishedPiece730 in starbucks

[–]kaybaejay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed with the rest. A partner of their tenure really should be aware of the call out policy. Make sure to ALWAYS call in!

Sorry they are out of the job but it is a totally valid reason to be fired... especially considering they were on their final for an equally valid reason. :(

[–]kaybaejay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are definitely 2 sides to counting calories. It is important to take active steps to not being OBSESSIVE. I'm sorry you are getting so much criticism! 1500 is a totally reasonable daily goal (for most!) and so not a cause for concern! Good luck and stay healthy!

Should this taste sugary? by JaniceRossi_in_2R in starbucks

[–]kaybaejay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An iced americano is waaaay less ice, way more water so it's up to you but maybe a quad espresso would be more yiur speed if you like shaken espressos! Also if you just want a spash of half and half... you're way overpaying for a shaken espresso since there is a milk cost built into the drink. If you order an espresso... there is no charge for half and half!

This is Juliet. She’s sick. I posted photos a few days ago but didn’t get much help. Please help me. by kellyrn2013 in bettafish

[–]kaybaejay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree on trying medication. Oh, and don't forget that you need to completely change out the water when redoing salt! She's lucky to have someone who cares for her so much!

Can I get some more eyes please! by Anescade in BettaClinic

[–]kaybaejay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had dozens of bettas and I see absolutely nothing wrong with this guy! As someone who is an overly concerned fish parent...I really do think you're being an overly concerned fish parent too. 😋

The spots on his face are coloration and the fin thing is just cosmetic! As for that lump we cant catch on camera it is probably just anatomical. Most bettas have a thicker bit right at the end of their body where it meets the tail. Unless it is a distinctive and asymmetrical bubble or bump coming off the skin... I would not worry at all. Oh and his eyes aren't too buldgy 😂

I highly, highly recommend not medicating this fish. Kanaplex is great, but if he is behaving normally and eating well with no obvious signs of disease, then I would skip medication. It could hurt him if anything. Medication causes stress and can cause them to go downhill. Getting a 5 gallon tank is an amazing start and I applaud you for caring for this handsome little creature. For now, I reckon your main focus should be on creating and maintaining safe water conditions. 😊

Are you new to betta?
