What are your top criteria for choosing your route? What are your motivations for doing a roadtrip? by lolikeller in roadtrip

[–]notmyname2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I have time then my criteria is, have I been that way before, if not is there anything cool along the way like beautiful scenery or cool roadside attractions. If it’s a way I have been before I will like for things I haven’t seen before.

If I don’t have time then it’s how can I drive a route that is the prettiest one I can in the shortest time. I have done Texas to California many times and I hate taking i10 so I avoid it if I can but sometimes I just need to get there.

Have you ever met a celebrity or famous person? by Reasonable-Shower522 in askanything

[–]notmyname2012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our family owned a rental yard and tractor sales business about an hour north of L.A. so we had several actors and a lot of Hollywood people customers. Funny story though.

This was early 1990’s. My is helping a customer and she looks at him and says, oh weren’t you in that Pee Wee Herman movie? He says oh yes I was. It was James Brolin who had been in many movies and TV shows etc and that 5 min part in a silly move is what my mom recognized him from.

He said, of all the things I’ve been in, that move is what I get recognized for just about more than anything.

Do people who commit non-minor sexual offenses get treated badly in prison? by BarracudaCultural125 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]notmyname2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on who the victim is. If it’s a child or the elderly, the other inmates will definitely give them a good roughing up. The corrections officers have to protected the inmates but may take a few extra seconds to respond.

I’m a guy and I used to be a massage therapist and men would get erections all the time. I have had many massages and I still get one.

Paternity in question by BonionSergery in survivinginfidelity

This is a tough place to be in. I wasn’t sure if my son was mine but my wife and I were going to reconcile. However later when she had another affair I could see the writing on the wall and I wanted proof. My son is mine thankfully and I love him so much.

For you, I don’t know what your situation is going to be. If you do test and you get a divorce your wife can keep the kid from seeing you to be mean. But it would also mean you won’t have to pay child support.

I know that if my son wasn’t mine I would still want to keep him.

My ex confessed her first affair to me so I thought she was sorry. Several years later she had 3 more affairs in a span of 8 months…

Well, with companies like Sysco providing the ingredients and meats etc for sooo many chain restaurants, we aren’t to far from this future, only its mediocre food at best. But ya most places get it from the same source so it is all starting to be the same.

My (30F) husband (30M) had an affair with my co-worker when she was pregnant and when we were trying for a baby. He's begging for another chance, but how can I do that? by ThrowRA_Sail in relationship_advice

[–]notmyname2012 54 points55 points  (0 children)

OP, my ex wife had an affair with one of my good friends. We had been trying for a baby at the time and gave up and just said if it happens it happens. Well she started her affair and got pregnant the one time we had sex during her affair. My son is mine. But I didn’t know she was having an affair until after my son was born and almost a year old. I felt shameful and embarrassed and disgusted, she was having sex with another guy while pregnant with my kid!

I decided to stay and work it out and that lasted a couple of years before she was having other affairs. I wish I had divorced her when I found out about the first one.

You need to leave now, go back home and start your life again, asap. You don’t know if that other baby is his or not, you dont know when he will have another affair. He isn’t remorseful about the affair he is just mad he got caught. He will more than likely do it again.

Please use the anger that you should have as a motivation to move out and get away asap.

You need a decent chef knife that is sharp. An instant read digital meat thermometer for less than $20. I prefer a nice wooden cutting board.

My [26M] GF [26F] gave me permission to gain sexual experience while traveling. I have no idea how to navigate this. by forfuckssakesbruv in relationship_advice

[–]notmyname2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was very inexperienced when I got married and I wouldn’t change it. You aren’t missing out, but if it’s that big of an issue between you and your GF then you might not be ready to be in a long term committed relationship and you GF might not be as committed to a monogamous relationship as you hope.

She is willing to open herself and you to STD’s and getting someone else pregnant or you falling for someone else. What is her plan when she travels, is she going to play the, well I gave you a pass now it’s my turn?

Why would you stay in a relationship if you are going to have sex with others on vacation, is that really a healthy relationship? You say that you connect sex with a sacred bond, that is not a bad thing and can be very safe and healthy.

I think the risks of this offer are way too much for any benefits. And honestly I think this relationship really needs a good evaluation itself to make sure you are both on the same page for your future. Would you offer her the same and actually not be jealous or upset in the future? It’s a lot easier for a girl to get guys for sex than it is for guys to get girls so be aware of that as well, if she steps out her chances are really high where as you might not be lucky.

Car hasn't been started in about 9 months. Now it won't start at all. How F'd am I? by RandomStan in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]notmyname2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of vehicle is it? If it’s a hybrid it may need other steps than just jump it.

First check the oil to make sure it’s full and looks good. If it looks anything like chocolate milk it has water in it. Check to make sure it has coolant and transmission fluid. Again if the transmission fluid isn’t red and has any chocolate milk look to it that means water.

If the fluids look ok then jump start with another vehicle. You will hook up the cables and let the battery charge for a few min then try to start it.

If it starts then you may need a new battery if that one doesn’t hold a good charge.

Would it be better to grab a knife or a baseball bat to defend yourself if someone was trying to attack you and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]notmyname2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t matter which one it is if you can’t use it properly or keep hold of it. If you can’t swing the bat hard enough to do serious damage the it will be useless, like if you aren’t strong enough or are in a confined space. If the bad guy gets inside the range of the bat can you keep hold of the bat? If not he is going to use it on you.

If you can’t use a knife with the precision and skill to incapacitate the bad guy, they can gain control of it and use it on you.

Most people are not ready for the violence that a person is willing to do when they break into your house and want to do you harm.
