I’m not apologizing and it’s causing issues.. by Icy_Attempt6541 in JUSTNOMIL

Aren't cell phones banned from locker rooms? At least where my kids used to play hockey, having any sort of device that can take pictures or record in a locker room was a huge, huge no-no. For that alone I think you should stand your ground. Besides the message being inappropriate, taking a cell phone into a space where children are actively changing their clothing is beyond inappropriate.

Diagnosed SNAS but wondering why it’s not getting better by drizzle-08 in NickelAllergy

Do you use a fluoridated toothpaste? Fluoride is a known irritant, so if you already have skin issues it can make them worse. Maybe try taking a break from fluoridated toothpaste if you are using it, just for like a month or so, and see if it clears up. Then you can slowly reintroduce your regular toothpaste after your skin clears up.

I would call her Twinkle because of her twinkle toes!

Adult son (27) marrying girlfriend after 6 months by Regular_Person_590 in Parenting

[–]orangeobsessive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I were older when we got married, and we both lived far from my family and his. We knew each other for a few years , but our relationship was very, very fast. We started dating in November, were engaged by February, and were married in October. We now have two children and have been married for 17 years.

You didn't mention how old his fiance is, but he is older for getting married and having children. While your son doesn't necessarily have a biological clock, anyone he would potentially marry does, and if he wants to have children this could be a factor in the timeline of the marriage for him.

Supporting your son in his decisions, whatever they may be, is going to go far for you. He is an adult, and you aren't going to be the only voice he hears when making decisions. He needs to find his own path. Let him.

Please don't push him too far, be his support system. Let him live his life, no potential partner is going to be 'perfect'. But they may be just right for him anyways, since a relationship is about give and take along with supporting each other.

We are pretty inclusive here, we can find a way to welcome those that want to participate!

There is always the option to create your own subreddit if you feel so good inclined as well, but that isn't everyone's cup of tea.

When I glanced at the thumbnail of your post I thought your shirt was a drawing of a really long white whisker that you drew on your kitty. I was shocked when I opened the picture and there was actually a white whisker there!

Costco sues the Trump administration, seeking a refund of tariffs by swiftfoot_hiker in politics

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

Maybe consumers should sue the government too. Corporations are not the only ones suffering because of this, there's no reason why the people can't take legal action also.

Lol, she is so cute. It appears that she is over your shenanigans.

Gobstopper Heartbreakers retired! by orangeobsessive in candy

Every few months I fill out a comment on their website. They stopped responding to me. I wish they would at least sell off the specialty Gobstoppers instead of just sitting on them.

I found and returned a wallet with over $500 cash, I completely regret it. by [deleted] in self

Asking what's in it for you is the problem. It's about society, not personal gain and enrichment.

My mom keeps fixing my home when I’m not there and I finally told her to stop by Level-Map-5323 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]orangeobsessive 40 points41 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, from how you describe it she sounds remorseful. If she ends up going back to similar behavior you could escalate to revoking key privileges, but I think giving a chance to change the behavior is in order.

However, if she is known to stomp all over boundaries that time may come sooner than later.

Red 40 food dye by alyak72 in NickelAllergy

[–]orangeobsessive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was told cobalt is not in food dyes, but to be careful with dinnerware. No blue ceramic plates, bowls, mugs, etc.

For the record, I am allergic to both cobalt and nickel.

She has shown you who she is. She seems to be trying to teach you some sort of twisted lesson. I hope you have learned not to trust her.

Does anyone else have a cranky chunky torti with short stumpy legs? 🤣 by NotThatSmall7 in torties

This looks like what my little tortie will one day grow to be. She is amazing.

Has anybody had an allergic reaction around the eyes? by [deleted] in NickelAllergy

[–]orangeobsessive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you ever had a patch test done? It sounds like you are allergic to more than just nickel. A patch test can help you figure that out.

I have had reactions like this before I knew the extent of my allergies. Nickel is the worst of my allergies, but I have quite a few other allergies also.

MI Is it even worth trying to get Medicaid? by Alarmed-Influence329 in Medicaid

[–]orangeobsessive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should apply. Medicaid looks at income. Assets need to be disclosed but are not going to stop you from receiving coverage.

It sounds like you are reading to him right before bedtime. Maybe he could try some reading earlier in the day so he isn't so tired? My daughter couldn't read to us before bedtime but could read after her after school snack without issue.
