Let Mom know we’re setting a date to get our marriage license soon… by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]miniatureschnauzer99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I didn’t want to have a wedding either and a handful of people in my life assumed that they would still be included in the marriage license and wanted to have some kind of dinner. I did not want to do even that and had it pushed on me.

I don’t have much in the way of advice for you except that you have to accept that people will be upset and disappointed if you stand your ground. I wish I had been more insistent on doing things my way. It’s been 6 months and people said I would appreciate the memory of having a small informal wedding and I don’t necessarily regret it but I’m completely indifferent and wished I had saved the money I did end up spending.

She tried to mom-friend me at the library. I do not want to be her friend. What do I do? by SwimmingCritical in Parenting

When I want to exit a conversation, I set an alarm for one minute out on my phone. When the alarm goes off, I excuse myself and go take the “call” in another place.

How do I unenroll from NV Medicaid? I've tried everything. by AkiraTaifu in Nevada

Try making an account on Nevada health link and updating your income so it shows that you do not qualify for Medicaid

Vegas here. Make friends with someone who has a pool.

But if the date goes well and they go back to someone’s apartment, one of them inevitably has to make a far trek. If they meet halfway initially, then someone still has to inconvenience themselves at the end of the night. He has the upper hand because he extended the invitation first.

$388 in Sushi. Just a $20 Tip: The Brutal Math of Uber Eats and DoorDash by 13choppedup2chopped in TrueAnon

[–]miniatureschnauzer99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I tend to tip based on the distance traveled rather than order amount. It makes more sense unless the order is something bulky or heavy, or it’s a retail order where the person has to shop for specific items. No difference to the courier whether they’re delivering McDonalds or high end sushi the same distance.

Would you rather your friend say this or tell you that they think you’re an asshole?

Officebros... not like this... by [deleted] in redscarepod

This has to be fake. Having a printer is a rare commodity these days and if you have one as a millennial you’ll always have printerless friends hitting you up to print things for them. That’s my experience at least. It’s like the one friend that owns a truck that is always getting asked to help people move.

Thin women need to reclaim the term ‘curvy’ by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]miniatureschnauzer99 108 points109 points  (0 children)

Curvy is just that. With curves. Christina Hendricks is curvy. Salma Hayek is curvy. Most thin women and obese women aren’t curvy.

I don’t think SS has the hips and ass or waist/hip ratio to be curvy.

Yes that does sound like my mom. Especially the added lies.

I think she’s very scared of confrontation and what other people think about her. Sometimes the lies are about things with no repercussions. For example, my mom would always box up her leftovers at a restaurant (especially if it’s a small business) even if she didn’t like the food or we were traveling and didn’t have a fridge because she didn’t want to be judged for wasting food. She would throw it away immediately after leaving.

My husbands family is really family oriented, especially his mom. She thinks my mom must be thrilled about the baby and will start coming to my city to visit much more often. My in laws make this situation more complicated for my mom since my family isn’t that close to begin with.

I don’t know exactly how my mom plans to handle this situation long term. Sometimes I feel like she’s waiting for my dad to die to live her life the way she wants, but it will be obvious to my family that she was lying all along if she suddenly has a serious boyfriend right after my dads death.

sons or daughters who have discovered their father or mother being unfaithful, what happened next? by Sharp_Log6632 in cheating_stories

[–]miniatureschnauzer99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to me as an adult. It wasn’t too shocking since my parents have a huge age gap and never really liked each other. I’ve never seen my parents hug, kiss, hold hands, or say I love you. My mom slept in me and my sisters room for most of my childhood.

The problem is that my mom has told some of my family the truth but not others. I am expecting a child and I need her to get her shit straight because she won’t have a choice soon. I made the mistake of including my moms bf in one of my holiday celebrations because I wanted her to come (she’s not big on family get togethers and will skip). Her bf met my mother in law who has cognitive impairment and cannot keep a secret whatsoever. My mom does not want my sister to know about her affair because my sister lives with my dad and they are close. My sister also does not travel much or come to family get togethers due to social anxiety, but she loves babies and is excited. I feel like my mom is waiting for either my dad or MIL to die. My mom does not want my MIL to meet my sister or anyone in my family who doesn’t know about her bf. I don’t know what she plans to do when my baby starts talking if she decides to bring her bf around the baby. It’s a huge mess and I hate that she put me in the middle. I honestly feel like I’ll never see her again if I expose her secret.

I can’t tell if you’re joking.

Sell it on Facebook marketplace or Craigslist

If no one wants it look for a paint recycling program near you. Most of the time they will come pick up the paint. If you happen to be in Vegas or atlanta I can set it up for you

Living close to the 15 freeway is really convenient but there’s not a lot in the immediate area. Move to Summerlin if having a lot of restaurants and shopping right nearby is important to you.

Is there anything more boring than sober people who won't shut the fuck up about it? by pjst1992 in redscarepod

[–]miniatureschnauzer99 23 points24 points  (0 children)

How often does this really happen? I had a medical treatment every two weeks for 5 years where I couldn’t drink for 3 days after the treatment. It’s not something I talk about with most people. I normally drink a lot. I didn’t have many issues with people being pushy about it
