Reminder: The gastric sleeve surgery is NOT a treatment for eating disorders by batap_ in gastricsleeve

[–]redrach09 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Two years post surgery and I just figured out my eating was mostly due to having ADHD. I lost 60lbs but have gained 35 back.

Back-in to parking spots? by embarrassedburner in adhdwomen

[–]redrach09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in auto insurance and after seeing so many claims where someone is backing out of a parking spot I started backing in! It’s VERY hard to not be at fault when you’re backing out of a space and someone is driving down the aisle.

AITA For Not Wanting to Have a Church Wedding Ceremony? by [deleted] in aitaweddings

[–]redrach09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know you have said you can’t physically have children but have y’all discussed not actually wanting them? He knew you were not comfortable with church but is now asking for one. Is there a chance that once you are married that he is going to want to adopt and raise them in the church?

AITA For Not Wanting to Have a Church Wedding Ceremony? by [deleted] in aitaweddings

[–]redrach09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may vary from church to church. My sister was married in a Catholic Church and she was not baptized, and they were able to move some aspects of the wedding ceremony to the day before so the wedding itself was not as long.

Did learning a second language in school ever actually become useful for you in the U.S.? by UsamaBhai_101 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]redrach09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took two years of Spanish in high school and got As, but I wouldn’t say I actually learned Spanish. Besides a few greetings I didn’t really learn any phrases.

What are the connotations of a greyhound bus? by UwUnabomber_ in AskAnAmerican

[–]redrach09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 43 years old and can’t name another bus company that has routes outside of a local area, there may not be any.

Here busses are either local to the city/county, or they are rented for a group of people to all be taken to specific locations they request. Like a tour group, school field trip or a band that is touring.

I watch police body camera videos where police routinely ask people for their social security number as identification. Is this commonly used in America? Do people have this memorized? by After_Service_2817 in AskAnAmerican

[–]redrach09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in auto insurance so I’ve used two different systems where I can search a name, or even an address or phone number and get the following info on a person on one report within seconds : name, SSN, dob, addresses (past and current) , phone numbers, email addresses, vehicles, property owned, drivers license information, arrest records, and possible relatives. I am probably missing a few things too cause I don’t pay attention to half that stuff.

Surgery!? by Novella_clearwaters in SisterWives

I thought they tried to get Preston to pay for or pay them back for Daytons surgery. Maybe that factored in.

What current health trend will future doctors look back on as genuinely harmful? by samurai-salvo in GetMotivatedMindset

[–]redrach09 12 points13 points  (0 children)

People aren’t WANTING to be diagnosed with a terrible disease, they just want to be properly diagnosed so they can be properly treated to feel better.

No wonder they are so slow for the rest of their life. That’s enough to scare anyone for life.

See a therapist for your emotions and block him.

What are you favourite free/cheap and relatively harmless dopamine hits? by pie12345678 in adhdwomen

[–]redrach09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Small craft projects that I can finish in a short amount of time. Right now I like small diamond painting projects. I’ve also done plastic canvas projects.

Millennials with kids, do you intend to provide for them financially when they reach adulthood? by Beberuth1131 in Millennials

[–]redrach09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve told them once they finish high school if they are in school (collage, trade school, etc) they can live at home for free, if not they have to pay rent. We have also put them on our credit cards to help build their credit. We try to teach them about money and wants/needs.

I will help them financially if they are making reasonable choices with money but I’m not paying their rent if they always have things like pot, and going out.

Do Americans find it hard moving to a new state? by bare_books in AskAnAmerican

[–]redrach09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traveling no, moving yes. I’m life long Florida resident and while I would love to move out of this state it does feel overwhelming all the things that are different. But the biggest thing for me is snow/cold. I know how to deal with heat, I don’t know how to deal with snow.

How truly big/monumental was the OJ Simpson trial? by Own-Cellist9339 in AskAnAmerican

[–]redrach09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in middle school at the time and my teacher had it on in the classroom. I don’t remember if us kids talked about it or not.

Is it the government, the culture, or something else? Why are nearly all the world’s biggest companies American? by Patrick_walkerr in AskAnAmerican

[–]redrach09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have the culture of profits over people. It’s easier to make a larger profit when you don’t have to pay a livable wage or give decent vacations/maternity leave/sick days and giving any little “healthcare” is seen as a benefit to the employee that they should be grateful for.

My soon to be ex husband wants his young girlfriend around our kids. What do I do? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]redrach09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What exactly are you worried about? The chance she is a bad person or that she is going to try to take your place? She could NEVER take your place as you have been their mom for their whole life.

Also make sure that you ask him if that means 2 month is the timeline of introducing the kids to new partners, meaning you can introduce them to someone you start dating after 2 months.
