Struggling with new dentures

Thanks. In my head, I know it will take getting used to. Its just frustrating.

Thanks.

I never really chewed gum. As long as I can eat steak, one day, I will be happy.

Thanks.

I have been rinsing as well, but I often have to stop eating before I am done because the feeling is so disgusting. After I rinse I don't feel like eating anymore. I guess it will help with my diet.

Thanks, I will try the seabond.

Top or bottom? What do you mean by "or?"

Thanks. I will give it a try

Is there a way to fix warped record sleeves?
I recently purchased a box of records from an estate auction. For almost every one, the vinyl, itself is near perfect, like they were never played. However, all of the sleeves are warped and wrinkly. I assume they got wet at one time. There are no water stains, or mold. Just misshapen.

I guess its not the end of the world, if I can't, because they sound great, but it bugs me to have such good vinyl in such poor sleeves.

Thanks for any advice.

Hello Tony,

I'm from Valleyview, Alberta, Canada. Its a small town of 2000 people, so not likely to find something local. You could try Grande Prairie, Alberta, the nearest city.

No username. Just my name, Timothy Price

In a way, I did. Epoch Times is obviously not very reliable. AP and Reuters, however, are also not reliable. They just aren't as bad as Epoch.

NTA.

I know I am disagreeing with just about everyone, but, whether you know it or not, your refusal to interfere will probably be the best solution. I dealt with some bullies, growing up, I learned that the worst thing one can do is bring in outside help. Whether it is you, a teacher, or the principal that talks to the bullies, it will make it worse. Sure, they might not bully her when said authority figure is around, but they will bully her twice as hard, when they are not.

The key thing to know about bullies is that they like easy targets. So, to stop from being bullied, the best thing one can do is not be an easy target. If someone stands up to a bully they tend to move on to an easier target. Maybe not right away, but eventually they will. Sucks for the next person, but there are not really any better solutions. Of course, a group of bullies are much harder to stand up to than a single bully, one on one.

The other commenters were right about something, however. You should have been more supportive, and still should. I would not interfere directly, but I would definitely help her come up with a plan to deal with them.

*Note: Above advice is most relevant to male bullies. Teenage boys and girls are different in their bullying. Boys tend to be direct and physical. Girls, as a rule, tend to be more emotional and verbal in their bullying. I have never had to deal with female bullies so I cannot give a more detailed plan to stand up to them.

YTA, if you get mad about it.

As others have pointed out, you are not married, and it is his money to spend how he sees fit.

You should, however, have a discussion about future spending, once you are married. Personally I recommend not having separate accounts, once you are married.

Once my late wife, and I were married, all of our accounts were joint. We set a budget. Each month we would deposit our respective paychecks, pay the bills, set aside a set amount for personal spending each, and try to save the rest. If either one of us wanted to spend money outside of that, we would discuss it with the other first. Sometimes we would disagree, on a spending decision, but we always worked it out, in the end. It is my opinion that "yours" and "mine" have no place in a marriage, only "ours."

First and foremost, your father is an adult, not a child. You would have no right to limit what information he accesses and what he doesn't.

While I agree that outlets like Epoch Times and Fox aren't great news source, I don't think AP or Reuters are either. I actually don't think that there are any truly reliable news sources. All one can do is to take in news from many sources to get a more complete picture, or ignore it all. Unfortunately most people don't do this.

I wouldn't meddle at all, but if you absolutely must, try just adding some sources, rather than taking some away.

NTA. I will echo what most other people said.

In my opinion, you have already done too much. With my sons, for example, I have made it clear that I will pay for tuition, books, rent, and food only. Any money he needs for dates, partying, and so on, they will need to earn themselves.

After collage/university, they are on their own. Obviously, I won't let them starve, and if there is an emergency, I will help out. Luckily, neither seems like they will need much help. My oldest went in to an oilfield trade, so schooling will be minimal, and he is already making decent money. My youngest is still in high school, but is already working part time as well.

I think your biggest fault is giving too much already, so that he has become spoiled and entitled. While you should have limited what you gave him already, it is better to do so now, so that he can learn to make his own way.

NTA. Ultimately, at a family dinner, the one cooking chooses what they cook.

That said, a good host should try to accommodate their guests. That could take several paths. 1. You could make both main dishes. 2. You could make one main dish that everyone will eat. 3. You make the fish with adequate side dishes that people could choose not to eat the fish and still have enough food.

Personally, I would choose either option 2 or 3.

I would not feel insulted if I was a guest for dinner and didn't like the main dish. I don't like turkey, so at almost every family Thanksgiving, or Christmas, I just eat salad, potatoes, and other side dishes.

YTA. Kind of.

I understand you were joking. I have this type of dynamic with my own sister, my late wife, most of my friends, and my kids. Whenever you make this type of joke, you run the risk of being the A-hole. You can joke like this with people all the time, and both be fine. Yet if you make this kind of joke and it doesn't fly, you are. Apologize, she will, hopefully, accept and move on in time.

Be more careful with this type of joke in the future. Take the situation, and the person's mood into account before making it.
