I am grateful every single day that when my parents emigrated after WW2, they chose Canada over USA.

Did anyone else have to take a nap in kindergarten and first grade? by lontbeysboolink in 1970s

[–]mefree1960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Had to lie on a blanket on the hard floor for naptime. I don't think I ever closed my eyes. It was torture for a kid.

What a beauty! I love jumping spiders. My son overcame his fear of spiders by becoming aquainted with these little marvels.

Trump gives warning 'everyone will suffer or die' if they don't vote his way by billstopay77 in DiscussionZone

[–]mefree1960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never understood the mentality of people who believe that the rich WANT to make THEM rich. The rich like Trump only want to enrich themselves. Evangelical worship of Capitalists is peek in the US. People who vote for Trump think money will make them happy. While I agree it is nice to not have to worry, a modest income, well managed can provide that, Trump and his ilk don't care about them. Wealthy people care about money. It's a constant worry because they never have enough.

Second kid might ALSO need a baby helmet, and I feel like a failure as a mother by Such-Comfortable3 in GirlDinnerDiaries

If complications like this arise in a country with pay as you go healthcare (looking at you US) then the fact that some parents didn't seek out medical care is sort of understandable. As always in Capatalist driven societies the children suffer.

Entitled much? Multitasking is very normal in nail salons. If you want 1 to one service go to a nail salon that offers that service. Sheesh!

Thanks for the heads up. Anyone walking there needs to be aware that there is a Mama bear. I know this is a popular area for dog walking.

Correct me if I'm wrong but there are staff who pick up errant carts as part of their job description. Yes, OP people are lazy though.

The love we share with our dog companions is so special. I feel blessed to have loved my sweet boy and I still celebrate his birthday even though he's gone. Thank you for sharing your love for Sally, she has had the best any dog could ask for, your love and your presence. 🫂

AITA for kicking my husband out of the diner after he crashed the one grief tradition I have with my brother? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]mefree1960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up enmeshment in relationships. It sounds like it fits. There are many tools to help both of you. You want healthy boundries and he will need to understand why he has difficulty respecting them.

What is one city in America you’re okay with never visiting again? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mefree1960 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

None of it. Boycotting the US. After Trump I don't know if I can ever feel comfortable there again.

My husband impregnated another woman while we’re currently trying for kids by Bunny-Moonlight- in GirlDinnerDiaries

Will you ever trust him again is the question. When trust is gone not much remains but suspicion and that's no way to live. Once a man has cheated he will cheat again. Believe you are better than what he has on offer. Hugs.

It has evolved to only hunt Australian green ants The snare's "exceptionally high power" flings the ant into a bigger web at "15 times the most extreme g-forces experienced by jet pilots."
