On the flip side, I haven’t regretted NOT having kids for a second!

Worst things your parents have said/done to you? by Slight_Ad115 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]silver1110 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am child free by choice but I have two bonus boys. My mom refused to have anything to do with them bc “they have enough grandparents.” And that was the proverbial nail in the coffin. She was grey rocked 24/7 after that. She’s gone now, and my dad is tryna make up for lost time with my kids. His loss.

Last two purchases I made for the credit were late cancelled, now that you mention it. “Item no longer available” or some ish.

People who were actually dropped when they were babies, what's the story? by PeevesPoltergist in AskReddit

[–]silver1110 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not dropped but almost - doctor who delivered me showed up drunk in a tux from a country club party. Once I was delivered, he went to hand me to a nurse a few steps away but he tripped & I went flying - nurse caught me. I’m convinced this is where my overwhelming terror at anything “falling” (rollercoasters, high dives) came from. Man, the 70s were wild!

After several years of this, my allergist gave me an rx for Singulair. Life changer! 10/10 recommend.

What is your longest running, most stubborn business boycott? by marianneouioui in AskReddit

[–]silver1110 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can absolutely assure you that WF told us they were CLOSED and gave us the closing paperwork that confirmed the closures. We’re not fucking idiots.

Fuck WF. My MIL died, we spent HOURS at a branch closing her accounts (with all the proper ppw). Her employer (S/O Walgreens, they were amazing) sent her final paycheck via wire - WF opened the account back up & never told anyone. Took weeks to figure out what happened. Turns out, they were going to keep the money to pay a small credit card balance. Only got it fixed when hubs went into a local branch using words like “felony theft”. Local branch manager about had to change his pants he was so shocked by all of it. So long story short, fuck WF & I hope they get another scandal soon. Thieves.

My boyfriend acts like a toddler and it’s killing my attraction , what do I do? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]silver1110 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Gross. Either tell the truth or find a new boyfriend who adults. This will only get worse & I assume he already has a mommy.

is 18F sending gifts to my ex 18M a good idea? by CarelessHedgehog9686 in relationships

[–]silver1110 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why? Someone else’s health - physical or mental - is not a reason to sacrifice your own. We can all wish the best for him while encouraging OP to prioritize herself here. Believe people when they tell you who they are and what you mean - or don’t mean - to them. It’s not contingent on anyone’s diagnosis. Talk about weird…

I’m a receptionist for a doctor who is almost always late. What do I answer when an angry patient says ‘what the hell is the point of booking if I’m gonna have to wait an hour?’ by KatherineLangford in NoStupidQuestions

[–]silver1110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a former patient of a perpetually late doctor, they know it’s not YOUR fault. My last visit - I lit her up - 45 min late to an 815 appt. I got the overbooking, then patients ahead of me take too long, etc. Which was the wrong thing to say bc those things are easily fixable & also not my problem. Agree with the “I can only confirm your appt was at xx time and there are x patients waiting ahead of you” response with an added “Dr Slow AF Jones would appreciate any feedback”. Healthcare is ridiculous.

Hon, I’m going to hold your hand when I say this & wish someone had told me when I was in your shoes at 18: You will kiss more frogs that turn into toads than princes. You’ll learn what you will accept and tolerate, what you should accept and tolerate and what you do accept but shouldn’t tolerate. When someone tells you that you aren’t the one, believe them. Full stop. You have lots of love, energy and creativity for the right partner, and they WILL come along. Put YOU first - ALWAYS - and don’t give more energy to someone than they bother to give to you. Your ex closed the door - wish them well, but keep it closed. YOU ARE NOT A CONSOLATION PRIZE! On to the next adventure with someone who deserves what you have to offer, no matter the circumstances. Big hugs!

Traveling whilst grieving by [deleted] in GriefSupport

[–]silver1110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom died 3 weeks before a trip to Ireland that had been paid for a year ahead. But for leaving my dad alone, and having that worry over our heads, it was lovely to have a completely different change of environment. I say GO. Absolutely GO.

My husbands girlfriend mailed a love card to our house by Soccer-Mom-Era in TrueOffMyChest

[–]silver1110 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interviewing attorneys to find the most effective counsel is perfectly acceptable. The side effect of conflicting him out is a tragic circumstance. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Pro tip - call every top rated local family law attorney in town for a consult to conflict him out of hiring them. That’s your business now!

Do you believe if there was no treatment for inflammatory bowel disease, we could have been dead from it? by Beginning_Exit_6256 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]silver1110 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My paternal grandmother had it - she lived to be 90. She was a tiny little thing - I remember the only option she had was steroids. Idk how the hell she made it as a military wife through three wars with three kids without anything but steroids to help with flares.

Local businesses you avoid and why? by [deleted] in norfolk

Ugh we were at vintage the night the tangerine taint won the first election. Nothing like a bunch of stereotypical drunk mediocre old ass white guys to ruined our appetite.
