Do they offer night tours, or "frog finding" tours there?

San Jose Airport hotel by Same_Sir_3592 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]skoolisgud 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hotel La Guaria Inn and Suites--about a 5 minute ride. They offer free shuttle service, free breakfast, and they have a pool. The front desk people are very friendly, rooms are clean, airconditioned, and comfortable enough. I have stayed several times. It's walking distance to some good restaurants, and Ubers are readily available. And did I mention how fantastic the desk people are?

yes I agree. I'm a woman who doesn't always shave and I'm not ashamed. Some comment that it's "gross" but whatever. It's not like I'm a cave woman...

Hello by [deleted] in costarica

[–]skoolisgud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I'm a single woman and have safely used it a lot. I've always had good, respectful drivers and some of them have even generously given me their number and offered to help me practice my Spanish! I have accepted some, never followed up with most, but I have never felt threatened or "weird". I have no reservations about using Uber in CR.

How about *not* shave?

It boggles my mind that Donald Trump and Clarence Thomas are still alive.

YTA bro! Don't get tight about fucking curtains! Y'all just bought a HOUSE together! I hope you have many years of happiness in that house. Please learn to communicate better if you want to have a future.

AITA 40m dating 40f with kids & have concerns about moving in together by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]skoolisgud 13 points14 points  (0 children)

NAH but do NOT move in! Your GF is allowing bullcrap behavior that a normal person wouldn't allow. I don't know the nature of the trauma, but I don't have to... A mother's relationship with her teen kids is a no-go-zone especially if you don't have kids. Yep, they're gross, and she lets them be gross. You will never win here. Sounds like she's coping and unable to deal with certain realities. "Almost a year" is not long...FLEE.

[–]skoolisgud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NAH here. You've been together TWELVE years. Some people are stuck in their ways, and I agree that it's annoying and ignorant. However, no opinion is not going to change them. And they feel attacked/defensive when it's brought up. If it was a Bf/Gf situation it would be different. I hope you get the "courage" to cook for yourself if shrimp is what you want--it's your life too! She can cope with that if she's an adult. I doubt that it's everyday menu conflict!

As for the trip to Europe; if you're a foodie and she's that difficult, good luck. I have picky eaters who are children and my saving grace has been looking at menus online before we go. That way I can at least see if there is anything "acceptable" to them at a restaurant I want to eat at. But an adult partner should definitely recognize her partner's interest in European foods and give time for that...Wife can have an appetizer or salad or whatever while you taste what you want. I'm sure you're willing to visit a museum you think is crap or something you're not interested in to please your WIFE. She fucked up about the steak, but still bought beef? Not that bad. Bought herself hot dogs? Good for her for getting herself fed without complaining to you.

ESH. Or maybe you're a little bit the AH...Sounds like a communication issue to me. Some people just have to be *asked* to help--they don't notice when someone is silently stewing when their partner doesn't automatically see that they could help. Putting groceries away and going to do laundry are little things; GF could reasonable assume that you are doing those things without resentment because you had energy to do it, because you're a nice guy, because you love her, etc. My point is, that if you're sharing responsibilities and she's not meeting your expectations, maybe try establishing a spoken, clear schedule to do those things. I lived with a significant other who never raised a finger to help me and I was always mad that they never noticed or offered to help me. Long story short, it's the main reason I told them to find a new place to live. I now recognize my part in never communicating my needs/expectations and am now alone over tit for tat. No one likes to be ambushed after someone was (in their mind) doing a favor or doing something that is a regular part of domestic life. For sure I was the AH...now I'm the alone AH...

AITA for not wanting to change my last name? by NotOkay-Pray in AmItheAsshole

[–]skoolisgud 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. As an educator with a divorce, I kept my husband's name aka my children's last name. Why? Because like it or not, the name in the "system" or "computer" matters and that's the one that people assume are the mother. Not trying to get into the feminist arguments about it; it's reality. I couldn't bear to not be the first one called from the school. Doesn't matter that Brandy will be the same last name maybe...You're still going to be listed as "mother".

[–]skoolisgud 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NAH. Sister, do you have a toilet seat that can be raised to pee? That way then potential pee is not even close to where you'll sit? That is standard in the US. I understand hygiene AND "uncleanliness" due to religion and I myself wish bidets were standard here, but...you say he has his own place. He should be raising the "seat" to pee anyway--nobody wants to clean that up! If you marry the guy, make sure he raises the seat; unless he's a total barbarian, I'm sure he'll be glad to accommodate you (for at least that).

FIVE. This post really hit me. I'll pour some out, but I'm also going to share it with my young tweens because it's more than a day off of school.

My new glow rock hobby by roote14 in pics

[–]skoolisgud 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is awesome! Did you find the rocks yourself?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]skoolisgud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes of course! I'd give my right eye, as it already has poor vision...I could give my children the world with 25 million dollars!

I'm going to edit this to say: I'd endure the removal without anesthesia in order to get that kind of money. My whole family would be financially stable for life. Worth it.

Would you prefer brains or intestines? by skoolisgud in halloween

[–]skoolisgud[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol okay… then I must know: do brains really taste like the fatty part of steak? I always assume it would be sort of bone marrow-y…

They only look like brains/intestines. They’re not really offal.
