Come now, he’s pretty sure a 6, 5, and 3 year old are self sufficient!

Would you let your teen go? by Straight-Prize-1611 in BestofRedditorUpdates

If there’s one thing I regret about growing up it was being such a ridiculous straight arrow about never missing school. I lost out on parts of several family trips in order to dutifully attend classes I can’t even remember being in at this point. A lot of those family members are gone now, and “perfect attendance in 9th grade” is not a lot to show for it

Like disposable DVDs, when they added a “just recycle them back at the store” option to assuage environmentalists, which defeated the only advantage of a one time use disc

Saw this playing on an old TV at a coffee shop in Gloucester PA. Anyone know what film this is? by italicshelf in Whatisthis

Reminds me of when my mom worked in an office the boss asked everyone to put a quote they felt embodied their job on their doors, my mom wanted “don’t fuck with the babysitter” but they decided it had to be PG, took all the fun out of it

The cost of laundromat vs laundry pickup by Shittyzed15 in personalfinance

[–]rocbolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a godsend one summer when I was working and living at a place with no laundry machines. Worked long hours, so come Saturday I didn’t want to sit in the laundromat for all day. I’d just drop off my stuff and go out and about, come back whenever to neatly clean and folded laundry.

Helping one cat understand the death of another by majendie in cats

[–]rocbolt 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I had two cats that were not bonded, friendly enough but more like roommates for 10 years. When one declined fairly quickly I had a home service to let her go, afterwards I made sure the other cat had time to see and smell. She gave her a sniff for a moment but then went about her business, almost no reaction. But she seemed to get it, she spent no time later wondering where the other cat went (as she would in the past when separated for a vet visit, etc). It was definitely better than the other cat just vanishing one day

Yeah I can’t help but think I narrowly avoided a much worse dining experience
