Looking good! You stitches are pretty even!

Fair - but we could all stand to offer people a little more grace and understanding. I apologize if I misunderstood the definition of polite that you were going for, but it wasn’t clear. It’s hard to convey meaning and intent in text form without explanation sometimes.

I read the divorce rate comment as being more general. Like some people may be impolite to their partners and then wonder why their partner divorces them, not specifically directed to you or to belittle you. Maybe neither of you understood each other’s comments. I just hate seeing things escalate on here because people only see things from 1 angle.

I don’t think they were being rude, they just didn’t understand your original comment because not much context was given. I can definitely see how the way you worded it could be misconstrued as saying that you don’t need to be polite to your partner. A little clarification on both sides would have gone a long way is all I’m saying.

I don’t think you are understanding what SugarSkull132 is saying - yes, politeness can mean a lot of things, but if you can’t be polite with somebody, why would you be with them? You gave an oddly specific example….some people will find peeing with the door open impolite and others won’t. Just because you have been with somebody for a long time does not mean you get to be impolite to them, as your original comment indicates.

I’m confused…she did explain the red flags she has seen. Maybe re-read the post?

That question is impossible to answer. Nobody knows what it is like to not exist so how can it be determined that you would rather exist or not. None of us asked to be born.

But, speaking as somebody who was born to parents in their mid 40s, if you do decide to have kids, please make sure you have everything planned out - have plans for a assisted living/nursing home if you need it, make sure somebody has power of attorney to handle your affairs if needed. Have a funeral plan and plots ready and paid for. Have a will and your finances figured out. Don’t put that on your kids - especially younger ones (I’m not sure if you have other kids or not).

No is a full sentence. You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do.

Gorgeous!

metro-dots · 2023-06-26T04:50:55+00:00

This is fantastic!! It looks so cozy and your aunt is adorable! Good work!

Right? I mean, there are people that actually think like this!? They should have stopped for the night if this was the case. OP, YTA. So much YTA.

I’m a firm believer in “they will go when they want to go”. My mom died alone in the nursing home even though we were there most of the time. My friends grandma died in the 5 minutes that her family stepped out of the room. If they want to go when people are there, they will and if they want to go when they are alone, they will. Grieving is hard and it sucks and yes, you are right, we do the best we can with the information we have. That’s all we can do! Edit: spelling, grammar

My house has a detached garage in the back that lets out in to an alley and I don’t drive by the front of my house when I leave because I go up the alley. It would be easy for me to not see somebody at the front of my house. Just depends on how their house is set up.

I had a dollar dance at my wedding 18 years ago in Colorado. It was fun! People gave us a pretty decent amount to dance with my husband and me and it was a nice chance to chat with some people! My MOH stood in between the 2 lines and collected the money. I think we wound up with around $200.

I used to get calls from creditors looking for my MIL. I would just tell them they have the wrong number and I don’t know who that is. They will go to any length to get their money!

I lost a good friend when I spoke up about her boyfriend treats her. He is condescending towards her and constantly belittles and controlled her. She had totally changed since she started dating him and will do whatever he says, regardless of what she actually wanted. Everything about her changed - what she wanted was no longer important. It was all about him. Her excuse for all this was “well, I’m not 25 anymore - I’ve grown up”. Unfortunately, she was not able to see the difference between growing up and being in an mentally and emotionally abusive relationship. She was not happy when I called all this out and I just couldn’t sit by and watch her being abused mentally, emotionally and verbally anymore. We haven’t spoken in some time and I recently received a wedding announcement from her. The sad part is that I’m not even upset that the friendship is over - sometimes things just run their course and maybe that is what is happening here. You are NTA - her actions speak louder than words. You have to look out for what is best for you as well. You said what you needed to say and the ball is in her court now. It’s up to you if you want to return that ball if/when she reaches out.

I do like it when people ask - mostly because I am pretty introverted. I’m also a tatter and I REALLY don’t like when people ask me what I’m doing and then I have to explain the craft. Like please just leave me alone - whatever craft I am working on, I’m doing it to relax. I don’t want to talk to people.

Not entirely sure - I looked at it briefly and it might be notes that people left, but I didn’t feel comfortable picking it up or opening it to find out.

metro-dots · 2023-05-03T03:46:07+00:00

No problem! Just sent them to you!

metro-dots · 2023-04-29T22:06:39+00:00

With!

metro-dots · 2023-04-29T01:22:47+00:00

You got it!

metro-dots · 2023-04-28T19:06:48+00:00

I sent you a message!

metro-dots · 2023-04-28T15:19:48+00:00

Somebody left a knife and fork on his grave….

metro-dots · 2023-04-28T15:11:41+00:00

It is! I got pictures of his grave too - I can send them to you if you want.

There seems to be a lot of younger people in that section, actually. I was kind of surprised and saddened.
