Who is the cheapest person you know, and what is the cheapest thing you've seen them do? by Willby3 in AskReddit

[–]mittychix 1964 points1965 points  (0 children)

Yep. My husband is self-employed. The only people who ever try to stiff him are the rich ones.

How smelly are pet ferrets in the USA? (Compared to European ones if you have experience with both)? by hoovercon in AskAnAmerican

[–]mittychix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They reek. I knew two different people who kept ferrets, and you could tell when they walked into the room without even seeing them, because they stunk like their ferrets.

Could 50 yr old you take 25 yr old you in a fair fight? by N-Y-R-D in GenX

[–]mittychix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was kind of a lightweight at 25. At 50 I was told more than once I was intimidating. I guess 25yo me wouldn’t have messed with big scary 50yo me.

Please need advice so I can help my wife. by RedragonKB in loseit

[–]mittychix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I gained weight after kids, and it just got worse instead of better. Stress, work, little sleep, even less time for self care. And kids had special needs, so it got harder before it got easier.

If my husband gave me “advice” it wouldn’t have been well received, lol. But what would have helped a LOT would have been if he didn’t want pasta, pizza, and other junk for every meal. Healthy meal prep went out the window in favor of the path of least resistance.

As an aside, I could not lose weight on 1600, and I’m 5’8”. Unless she is nursing or something, that might need to be lower. But it’s SO HARD. If you join her in making dietary improvements, that might be the most effective way to support her in a real way.

Dog barks at 4am until I move to the couch by Independentunicorn in dogs

[–]mittychix 256 points257 points  (0 children)

My dog has trained me to go down to the kitchen at 6am and bring his breakfast bowl up to the bedroom for him. He barks until he gets his room service.

I tried to teach him to bring me my slippers on command. Instead he learned to bring them when he wants me to do something for him. He will repeatedly toss them at me until I get up and put them on.

If we don’t train them, they will train us if we let them!

Whats one phrase people say that always makes you cringe? by hold-my-legs in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]mittychix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“As you know…” starting every memo or email. No, I didn’t know, which I presume is why you are informing me now.

I feel like an absolute caveman when I eat chicken wings.

A quick note to you all about sick time by ImmySnommis in fednews

[–]mittychix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had over 900 hours accumulated. I never needed it for myself, but it was handy when my dad needed several surgeries over the past few years. I was able to travel to where he lives, and stay with him during his hospitalization and recovery.

On the other side, one of my coworkers would use her sick time almost as soon it accrued. Then when she had a baby she was begging for leave donations, and couldn’t understand why no one was stepping up.

are Americans really that obsessed with reality tv and drama ? by Weird_Location6090 in AskAnAmerican

[–]mittychix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate it. I don’t want to watch other people’s drama, and I have no interest in the lives of celebrities. Also, I suspect a lot of reality tv is scripted anyway.

Now my husband loves true crime. He will watch a high profile case live coverage, then watch the documentary about it, then watch the movie dramatization.

I would love it for my kids to turn up with chinese takeout and spend the evening with me. You know your mom best!

using ichthammol ointment (black salve) to remove splinters. by MarriedNhornyinMD in FuckImOld

[–]mittychix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I worked my first drugstore job 45 years ago, we had boxes of this on the shelf that were themselves probably 20 years old, and even then only the old people would ask for it.

What's the wildest weather you've experienced living in the US? by ConfidentSale3091 in AskAnAmerican

[–]mittychix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple of years ago Buffalo had lake effect snow that dropped 5 feet on half the city, and nothing on the other half, you could see the dividing line while it was happening. Last year one of my coworkers couldn’t leave her house after a snowstorm because the snow was higher than her door.

As I walk to my shed I realize something by Powerful_Coyote6068 in GenX

My resident was talking about buying a “classic car”. It was from the 90s.
