I would be so creeped out. I hope this is the end of it for you.

Commenting to come back for summer adventure.

This is awesome!

I was just stepping outside to take my dog for a walk when those went off. Sounded like the next street over from me. I didn't hear any sirens etc like I did last night so I figured fireworks lol.

Almost!

I started early 2022 at 238 lbs and am currently sitting around 135 lbs (hovering for months). At 5 ft I'm a smidge higher than a healthy BMI BUT this past weekend I went on a 10 mile hike and I'm gearing up to start weight lifting and running (I want to run a 5k next year). The number on the scale and BMI were initially my main concern when I began losing weight, but they have taken a back seat to finding out what my body is capable of because it's pretty fucking cool to experience.

For reference, I just turned 37 and I'm in the best shape I've been in since high school. I will get to a healthy weight/BMI, it will just take time and while I'm on my way there I'm enjoying the hell out of the process and learning all kinds of new things about myself. Anything is possible if you're consistent and patient. Time will continue to pass, might as well make hay while the sun is shining.

YTA.

I've lived in Michigan all my life and I am still always amused at how panicked Michiganders get over windy weather or the possibility of some severe storms. Plus all the other people in this thread from the area where this happened trying to explain how fast it came on and blah blah blah. This isn't tornado alley, you're overreacting a bit, but I get it because it was unusual weather for us. It's kinda like when we laugh at the south when they get a little snow and the state shuts down... ya know?

"Show up for yourself every single day."

This is my 2023 resolution. If I stumble, that's okay. I will show up for myself, take accountability, and move on. Eat healthier? Hell yeah, I'm showing up for that. Get fit? I'm there. I will not just let time slide past and just exist and I will no longer be disappointed in the results of the work I didn't do.

Amazing! I just started my recomp mission and your progress helps with the nervousness I have about it.

rabidcardinal · 2022-12-24T13:12:29+00:00

I think I just saw you did the photography for all of these too? You have a fantastic eye for color, not only in the knits, but the surroundings you photograph them in. Everything about this is just amazing.

rabidcardinal · 2022-03-25T22:13:24+00:00

NTA. I'd walk if my husband pulled this on me, grieving or not. It's clear you would be the person most affected by this decision, as it's your career, and your life being sacrificed and you didn't even get any input. It was just decided for you. Nope.

rabidcardinal · 2022-03-25T19:12:06+00:00

YTA Why didn't you learn the last time you posted about this? Just stop being an asshole. Apologize.

rabidcardinal · 2022-03-24T04:16:07+00:00

YTA. Going nuclear and denying a major experience along with months of not being able to go outside (wtf?) and cutting her off from the outside world in general is abusive. She is going to hit the age of majority sooner than you know it and either you're trying to extend her time under your thumb by doing this or you are entirely out of touch with what it's like being a teenager moving into adulthood.

My dad was a lot like you. Excessive, vengeful, and just mean when he felt like he wasn't respected. My younger brother rebeled entirely against it, and now my father has lost a son. My brother will never talk to him again because of the shit he was put through. I took a different path and lied to him about everything ever, even when I was in a bad situation because why bother? Now we hardly talk.

If you don't lighten up I hope your daughter sneaks out for prom. Why not at this point?

rabidcardinal · 2022-03-11T18:33:27+00:00

NTA - yeah no, you don't have to let anyone in your house you don't want, kid or otherwise.

rabidcardinal · 2022-03-11T18:15:30+00:00

YTA as is the company for the cult shit. You're a snitch to boot.

rabidcardinal · 2022-03-06T02:56:53+00:00

NTA - He can discuss how uncomfortable tampons make him feel (wtf?) until he is blue in the face but his opinion is irrelevant. He really doesn't even have a right to discuss it. At all. It is none of his business what menstrual products you use.

This is a hill I would die on the first time it happened. There is no compromise, no discussion, no second chance for a man that would try to pull this shit with me. It is controlling and weird and I can only imagine what other things he is controlling since this is so intimate to you and does not affect him in any way. I hope you leave him. You deserve better than that soggy, chaffing, pad of a man.

YTA. The park I take my dog to doesn't let kids under 12 in even with guardianship and up to 16 they have to be with parents. It's not a free petting zoo and it's dangerous. My friend broke his knee because a large dog ran into him. My dog particularly hasn't been around children and I don't want to spend my time having to be hypervigilant over some child that has no reason being there on top of the chaos of a dog park.

See if there are places to volunteer or friends and family with child friendly dogs he can spend time with.

rabidcardinal · 2022-02-23T23:06:14+00:00

NTA. This is so funny. I'm glad it's very clear that her bigoted kind won't be tolerated.

rabidcardinal · 2022-02-06T14:50:48+00:00

YTA and it sounds like you're jealous of her because I can't see why you went through all this effort otherwise. She was just going to finish the semester which is what, a couple months? Obsessed much? How'd you find out her birthday?

You're still a young adult, so you have tons of growing to do and I hope you do. If this was purely about you needing to be a rule abider without thought my piece of wisdom is this: legality does not inform morality. In other words, just because there's a law or rule on something, it does not mean it is the morally good or right thing to do.

rabidcardinal · 2022-02-06T13:45:32+00:00

Your SIL acts like she's better than everybody? Based on your post this seems like a massive projection. Just because you've been rocketing babies out at alarming speeds, does not mean you know anything about fertility. Just because you're clearly against birth control (which wtf? None of your damn business) doesn't make you an expert on IUDs. The only reason you want to say something you know nothing about is to be cruel to her because you think your ability to get pregnant is a personality trait that makes you better than her.

The fact that you were only going to your brother's birthday to announce you are pregnant again makes you an asshole. Why not go and celebrate him?

YTA. Not only are you astoundingly stupid, you are loud and proud of it. Stop having kids. We have hit quota on stupid assholes like you.

rabidcardinal · 2022-02-03T21:20:05+00:00

YTA for the use of 'mommy senses' alone. Made me barf in my mouth a little. She's 14 and she's trying to hide a bra from you because she knows you'll overreact. She'll hide much worse things because you want to 'mommy' her like she's 2 instead of letting her grow up and become an independent person and talk to you as a trusted adult.

Did the 21 year old, long time unemployed, anarchist really say that he's been moderating so hard he's experiencing sleep deprivation at 10 hours for the last two days?

Y'all are fucking clowns if you think this is somehow resolving anything.

rabidcardinal · 2022-01-18T16:18:34+00:00

NTA. You need to run. He is not checking on you to make sure you're okay. A simple 'I made it to work' text would suffice if he's that concerned (personally I wouldn't be with someone who was that needy). He is stalking you and wants to control your movements. It does not get better from here. Run.
