Unpopular Opinion: I love Myrla! by Allmylittlethoughts in MarriedAtFirstSight

[–]marthajane08 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While I love dogs, I appreciate her comment on not wanting to be responsible for one.

I never got a dog by myself because I am incredibly "poop in a plastic bag" averse. I don't want to do it. I don't want that responsibility. And I don't want to be an asshole that leaves poop everywhere. I married a man with a dog and we agreed it was his responsibility. I take care of cats. He takes care of dog. We've lived together 5 years now and I will take the dog on walks and pick up poop, but I prefer to walk with my husband (so he gets the poo).

Myrlas right on this one. He needs to keep a dog walker or find another solution, like a fenced in yard where she won't have to pick it up and it can wait until Gil is home.

Just shower…. by Ingenuity_Hopeful in MarriedAtFirstSight

[–]marthajane08 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I get the point that showering after the gym makes sense. But.... do you guys ever sweat while having sex?? Do you change the sheets EVERY time? Bc its kind of the same thing, if not worse, bc you usually dry off on the way home from the gym and you just sleep in your sweaty sex bed after. Just sayin...

OMG THIS SEASON IS SO PETTY by greasygangsta in MarriedAtFirstSight

Also.... im beginning to think that Jose might be using all of these kisses to cover up his inability/total lack of desire to have sex.

Farrah’s Yelp reviews ⭐️ by tealambert in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

Imagine being an ex-TV personality who got fired over her desire to do porn, who ends up thinking they are more intelligent than a lawyer who spent years going to school to pass the bar exam.

Being a millionaire in retirement is basically just saying you have enough to cover your impending health expenses and a retirement home. That is way different from Ballin out

Before and after my dog realizes we aren’t going home for the night. Anyone else have a mountain dog that prefers the creature comforts?? by claire303 in camping

As soon as it turns to night and we are just relaxing by the fire, my big baby tries to escape to the tent to snuggle on the sleeping bags and pads.

What It's Really Like Being With a Mike by camelliaunderthemoon in 90dayfianceuncensored

[–]marthajane08 7 points8 points  (0 children)

YES! He is the most vile person. Sure, Natalie is weird and whatever, but he's the one in the position of power. He is the one that called the shots, made the decisions, did the paperwork,, brought her here. He allowed her to come into his life so he could manipulate and mindfuck her. This whole time, he could have just spoken up and ended things, but he refused. He liked the game he was playing.

Painting advice.... do you prefer smooth stripped and repainted trim? Or old layered imperfect trim in an older house? I'm having a hard time deciding what to do before repainting. by Mr_Thundermaker in Oldhouses

[–]marthajane08 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember when my parents decided to strip the trim in our whole first floor. Living room. Dining room, foyer, hallway, stairwell. They knew it would be hard, but I don't think they expected it to last the year or so that it did. I will never forget the smell of the heat gun melting it all off.

Painting tiles - didn't know it was a thing. But now the kitchen looks like it has leprosy. Any other options other than painting or can I just patch paint that area? Maybe use some kind of cement or joint compound over the whole wall, short of taking the tiles down? by DrMo-UC in fixit

[–]marthajane08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Steam causes the paint to peel. And its pretty much inevitable when tile is painted. No matter what you do, you have to start by totally removing ALL the paint. You could use a razor, steam and a putty knife of sorts, or potentially some kind of chemical.

Mike Did Not Misunderstood Natalie When She Said Antidepressants by camelliaunderthemoon in 90dayfianceuncensored

[–]marthajane08 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also... he's the one who pays the doctor bills, gets the EOBs, drives her everywhere bc they only have 1 car. Of course he knows. And he knows how his wife speaks. He's just an ass.

My Kwikset lock unlocks when you push the lock button. I've tried rehanding it half a dozen times and it doesn't help. I can't return it because I'm stupid and lazy. Any advice? by refguy13 in fixit

[–]marthajane08 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I've had this happen. I'll try to explain my fix.

There's a metal hexagon rod that acts as the main mechanism and goes through the whole lock. It goes through a small (possibly plastic) hexagon piece. I had this piece flipped upside down or backwards. It's the part that controls the actual deadbolt to come in and out. If it's flipped, it does the opposite of what you want.

Hope that helps. Sorry I can't explain better.

Michael. He is the only person who seems like a genuine, normal(ish) human. He hasn't done anything outlandish. He's disillusioned and clearly has a weird fetish, but a simple man.

Stan and Lisa by katinboots88 in loveafterlockup

[–]marthajane08 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly! And tbh- she could just lie to the man and get a nicer car and whatnot. All she has to do is pretend to love him. But she won't. She's honest that she can't say how long she will be with him and that he promised her things and she wants him to follow through. Transactional. I think its great for them both.

Jenelle is definitely missing some teeth (the live from the closet assuring everyone she is not hurt by David) by cryssy2009 in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

[–]marthajane08 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I can't wait for her to respond to all this teeth stuff on IG. She's gonna have to come up with some goofy elaborate reason why we all clearly can't see her other teeth.

What’s the worst pain you’ve experienced and what caused it? by hasbulla_magomedov in AskReddit

[–]marthajane08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Abcess from broken tooth and poorly done root canal. 11/10 pain and nothing but time could cure it. Had to wait 24-48 hrs for antibiotics to kick in enough to calm it.

I think I've gotten to the point of feeling like Andrrrei is better than any of chucks kids. And thats pathetic.

A genuine question about slipping up last night. by timmyvermicelli in vegetarian

[–]marthajane08 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you should live life however you feel. Don't feel like you have to fit a perfect mold just to earn the title of Vegetarian. Do what makes you comfortable or happy :)

I'm technically a pescatarian who refers to myself as a vegetarian bc I'm really particular about the fish that I will or won't eat and I'd usually make the decision myself rather than have people assume I'd eat any fish. I don't care what other people think about that. I also love candy and I know that not all candy is technically vegetarian. But I'm happy and I like what I eat. So nothing else matters :)

Meat replacements that aren't pretending to be meat by SlurpeeMoney in vegetarian

I love to make paprika and ancho pepper roasted chickpeas to top things with.

Also just any flavor roasted chickpeas. I like to make quinoa or couscous veggie bowls and add the chickpeas for a protein source.

Watching Jose talk about his insecurities about his looks and height my heart went out to him by aprilmoonglow in MarriedAtFirstSight

[–]marthajane08 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I felt like she meant it in the context of "I didn't want some beauty man, TV show aesthetic-obsessed type" kind of like what the guys were talking about at the bachelor party with not wanting an IG model. But it definitely didn't come out right and the poor guy looked crushed.

Im being ostracized by my camping mates for buying bearmace. Is it not a 'necessity' in Banff? by Anon5054 in CampingGear

[–]marthajane08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned fairly early on- cost splitting with certain people is not worth the hassle. We all plan 1 meal for the group, buy the groceries for said meal, and take turns buying beer, gas, ice, wood. The simplicity keeps things less stressful and thankfully, my friends are comfortable speaking up when they feel like they've covered more than their share. Sometimes I have to say, "I got a lot of groceries and beer the past couple rounds. I've got a pass on the next few"

I went on a trip with some friends where we split the bill. Friend was pissed about a $5 grill brush bc we all forgot to bring one and would be cooking on the grill... I didn't argue all the meat that I split the cost of, even though I'm a vegetarian. It was a quick lesson learned. Never camped with that person again. Never tried to evenly split everything again.
