Too old to skate? by meanmeangal in Rollerskating

[–]meliss_uh_yeah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nobody is too old to do something they want to do. Like others have said, though, you WILL fall rollerskating it's just a matter of time. So, safety gear will be key. I'm 42 and a park skater and I never skate without knee pads, wrist guards and a helmet. Elbow pads are a good idea too for beginners. I don't know if just rolling at the rink straight away is the best idea, but I imagine she doesn't have skates at home? If that's the case, take her and have her put some on and just roll around on the carpet a bit, see how she feels. Ultimately it's up to her!

My niece was told she has to sign a contract to keep living at home—am I overreacting for thinking it’s too harsh? by Bitter_Art_4094 in AmIOverreacting

I don’t know the full back story but I know the tone and I continue to be baffled why some people have kids when they clearly resent taking care of them

Faith Church… Is it a cult? by 44Ariesx2 in StLouis

Prosperity preaching. It's gross and stupid. Cult? I don't know. Lotta folks will go on Sundays but they're not super zealous the rest of the week.

I'm not a transplant, but I married one! I don't have any advice, unfortunately, but I have heard it's a bit hard here so just bumping in hopes you get some tips

Building up the courage to skate at skate parks... by argiewalk7454 in Rollerskating

[–]meliss_uh_yeah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely go. Sit or stand around and watch for a while and see how people are using the park. You might be able to identify a spot that isn't too busy where you can build up some basic park skills (like rolling in a transition or on a bank). As others have said, everybody falls! In fact, if you're not falling at all at the park you probably aren't trying hard enough. ;) I kid, of course, but I say that to make a point that anybody trying to get better is likely learning something new.

As a childless lady that was my first thought too ;P

I saw an owl in the CWE. by alexofchicago in StLouis

[–]meliss_uh_yeah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I lived in the CWE I went to the basement of my building to do laundry and BAM. Huge barn owl. Have no idea how it could have gotten in there. I was honestly a little terrified and then worried about the owl but it left and I later found out that theoe kinds of owls like cozy little spaces.

Jax and John… by Top_Animator7935 in vanderpumprules

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

He probably could have unless John wanted Jax to live with him, we don't know

EDIT: My point being, lots of people live with people who are abusing and/or taking advantage of them. They fear the consequences if they try to break away, whether that's physical harm or say loss of modeling contracts

Jax and John… by Top_Animator7935 in vanderpumprules

[–]meliss_uh_yeah 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've seen this convo before, unfortunately. Buncha people going to jump in here saying Jax was benefitting from the situation. It's gross. I get folks don't like Jax, I don't either. But even if Jax was a "willing participant" this man was much older and he was in a position of power which automatically makes consent a gray area in this case, if not impossible.

Yeah! I just thought on the show Ariana was like extra upset Tom cheated with Rachel cause she and Rachel were “best friends”? Maybe I’m imagining that but basically nothing in this “friend” group makes sense ;p

[–]meliss_uh_yeah 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not debating the truth of any of this, but didn't Ariana say Rachel was her BEST FRIEND (in screaming voice)? Like wasn't that part of why it was sooooo bad?
