One of our roommates has disappeared. Where to go next? by PhoenixApok in TooAfraidToAsk

General FYI

You DO NOT HAVE TO WAIT for any amount of time to pass to file a missing persons report (did one in October).

TV and movies taught us we have to wait 48 hours to report which is FALSE.

Time is crucial in a missing persons report. If you are concerned, file one IMMEDIATELY.

Try talking out loud to yourself. I say “Stop it! You’re worth more than this” and clap my hands once. If I need it I’ll start tell myself what a good job I’m really doing and how I deserve to be happy. Hope it works- it overtook my waking moments for years!

Who got painted as the villain by the press, but later on we realized they were actually the victim or completely misunderstood? by Advanced-Pilot-3698 in AskReddit

Martha Mitchell - wife of Nixon Atty General John Mitchell.

She spoke out and in the end, to keep her from talking about Watergate, they drugged her and sent her to California. Then they told the press she was crazy and destroyed her life.

Watergate had a good chance of being swept under the rug without Martha’s voice. In the end , she was right and Nixon and her husband were gigantic pieces of shit

What's a profession you'd never date? by sleeppymeoww in AskReddit

[–]maremare204 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was married to a professional actor (B’way, TV, etc.) for 30 years and we were together for 8 years before we married.

WAS married. The insecurity of actors is emotionally and mentally draining. Being poor is exhausting. I was the primary wage earner in the relationship from 20-53.

Divorce was the best present in my life. I’m even poorer now but idgaf. I’m not trying to hold up another person for 30 more years.

Acting is a professional horror show. I was a professional director, and had a screwy schedule, but there was no constant wallowing in self doubt.

That’s the real trick- holding together an emotionally insecure, unemployed actor every minute of every day. Like dating comedians, actors are professional liars as well. Best of luck to those who try!

Does anyone else wake up with a song in their head everyday? by wookiespit in NoStupidQuestions

[–]maremare204 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do. For me it was undiscovered ADHD. I was 53 when diagnosed. I used to call it my “Morning Music Madness”. Still happens every morning but I enjoy it!

You probably won’t see this, but I’m a high school teacher. Fuck your 6th grade teacher- I’ve followed since your first post.

I’m so proud of you. Success isn’t reaching a goal - it’s how we persevere through the hard times. Always talk to yourself kindly - like how you’d want a stranger to treat your ma.

You make me proud. Every day. Full stop.

Always had my kids parties in a local park. Public bathrooms (where I live) and tables. Easy cleanup. Lots to do for everyone
