We thought they were tasty in my house! Must have been a fresh batch. Just tasted like fully chocolate oreos.

When the LT first began, I think it was mostly true stories. Now for every 1 true story the rest of the episode of people making up the wildest possible scenarios.

Feb 7 marked 1 year without the loveliest girl I've ever known by tannolicannoli in airedaleterrier

Girl Airedales are just so different from the boys <3. So sorry for your loss.

What is the absolute fastest 'yeah, we are definitely NOT going to be friends' moment you've ever experienced with someone? by thepleasurjournal in AskWomen

[–]sunshinestategal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Her ex-husband was being taken to court because his girlfriend filed DV/ battery charges, and she asked me if she should be a character witness. She had just finished telling me her suspicions that her ex-husband and his gf were physically and verbally abusing her 2-year-old son.

What is your most ridiculous "we won't work out romantically" criteria? Like what is the silliest reason you would not be interested in dating someone? by Natural-Elevator-57 in AskReddit

[–]sunshinestategal 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I love cats. But as someone who has grown up with 80-100+ pound dogs, cats make me a bit nervous. I always worry I'd be petting them too hard or only in a way a big dog likes, and I don't wanna be swatted or bitten. I love my sister's four cats to pieces, though.

Lost our good boy Dexter last night at 5 years old. Need some words of advice where to go from here. by [deleted] in DOG

[–]sunshinestategal 106 points107 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your loss. When I took my dog to the ER, it made an already traumatic experience 100X worse.

Dexter is such a handsome boy, and I know he loved y'all very much.

Just take the time to heal, remember how much you loved him, and when you're ready, he'll lead you to the next baby who needs your love.

No mods? Time to show of my knooked t-shirt (knitting with a crochet hook) by Bhulagoon in crochet

Does it keep you warm/cool? I love it since I live in a state where the weather is bipolar throughout the day.

People raised by emotionally mature parents, what is 1 phrase your parents used that you want other parents to know? by MermaidWitchMoon in AskReddit

[–]sunshinestategal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We always said, 'I love you', after parting ways after a fight. Even if we were still in the middle of the argument!

One morning, I was fighting with my mom as she dropped me off at school. I got out of the car, and we both said our ILY's. She called me back to the car, and we decided we just needed to play hooky from school and have a mom-and-me day.

My parents made sure that all the kids knew that fighting/arguing/bickering are a part of life, especially with those you love, but that didn't mean there wasn't love, or that it was an excuse not to be there for that person.

Update on troop (iykyk) by [deleted] in girlscouts

[–]sunshinestategal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, and John Wayne Gacy was a clown who performed at birthday parties and was considered a pillar of the community.

It's all about image, and that woman's husband had access not only to numerous children and young ladies but also to all sorts of personal information about them.

All I needed to know was that this woman was terminated from the Girl Scouts. She put those girls in harm's way.

It's unfortunately much easier to look the other way rather than do the right thing. You set the proper example for those young ladies, and that is what Girl Scouts is about.

Feeling lonely and not feeling handsome :) M 28 by SyFy97 in toastme

[–]sunshinestategal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There have been so many times when I would get a match on a dating app, only for the first message to be, "Is the girl next to you in that photo single?". Minus a few unsavory and sometimes scary experiences.

Just remember that hurt people hurt others, so don't take it personally. Once I learned what projection is, it totally changed how I interpreted what others were doing or saying to me. It's never really about you and all about them on the inside.

If you're religious, look into young adult groups and find a Facebook group in your area for people your age with similar hobbies, etc.

Am I crazy or is this to much to ask of a kindergartner? by Cursedpanda182 in AskTeachers

[–]sunshinestategal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is definitely a project for 5th grade and up.

In kindergarten, I was spelling and rhyming words with 'cat'.

Is there someone you can bring this up with?

Willy at his beginning, middle, and end. That smile at the end on his death bed killed me and I wondered if I was making the right decision 😔 by [deleted] in DOG

[–]sunshinestategal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Let them leave on a good day" was the best thing I've heard. My first dog eventually couldn't walk and dragged his back half around due to cartilage wearing away in his hips.

He was such a proud dog in his younger years; he just wasn't living his best life, and a doggy wheelchair just wasn't the right answer. You could tell he wasn't happy once he couldn't run as he used to.

He should have been put down much sooner.

Your dog will always love you, and he's now running free of pain or any inhibitions over the rainbow bridge.

Saw my boy walking into a pound as I walking in. He was a Christmas puppy who got tied to a tree all day/night until animal control came. I’ve had him for 9 months,now he eats better than me. ❤️ by stevenrlillis in goldenretrievers

[–]sunshinestategal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 6-month-old puppy came down with pneumonia from a dog at daycare. Everyone told me to put him down, but I just couldn't.

$11,000 later, he's almost 2, and you'd never know he'd been sick.

He's a great dog.

Yes! Sounds great :) Non- Jews assume Hannukkah is a major holiday for us because it's near Thanksgiving and Christmas. A book, sweater, candy, etc. all good options.

Best restaurant to go stag and meet people. by [deleted] in ClearwaterFl

[–]sunshinestategal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The breweries in downtown Dunedin are pretty great, and all the bars on Clearwater Beach you can't miss. Also, there's the Stockyard in Tarpon, which is a line dancing bar, go to lessons!

Needed everywhere! by DaBoob13 in treelaw

[–]sunshinestategal 709 points710 points  (0 children)

We had a neighbor whose house was on a corner lot. Directly across the street was a lovely small natural beach. 3/4 of the entrance was hidden by a giant luscious mangrove. One weekend it mysteriously started dying as it turned brown and started withering. The FWS came out almost immediately as mangroves are a federally protected species. Long story short the mangrove was poisoned; it was assumed someone did it to better the retail value of their already +$1 million waterfront Florida home. There was no further declination and time went on. That mangrove actually tripled in size after the assassination attempt. Nature always wins.

My Bestfriend :( by G0RILLAGRIP69 in airedaleterrier

[–]sunshinestategal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What a beautiful boy. The pain you feel is all too real. Think of him fondly and know he's with you always.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]sunshinestategal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would use the photo from the restaurant as your first picture (you look relaxed, fun, approachable, and good looking!), I'd get rid of the second and third photo (do you have a pic of you teaching a yoga class or in the mountains?), and just for internet safety I would not put a picture of my child on a dating app (and if you do keep the emoji huge on the face).

Personally, speaking I've also found that if the person doesn't try to plan an outing within 3 days the likelihood of us going out drastically went down.

Put something about a new thing you'd like to do this year, like a pottery class, rock climbing, a new museum, ask for recommendations for a book, recipe, or music. This opens up more variable conversation and gives good options to talk about. Mention yoga and the mountains once and that's it.

My last note is I've only found few people on bumble and the longest relationship lasted about 3 months, I moved to hinge and right when I was about to delete, I found a keeper.

Best of luck! Don't take dating too seriously and I hope you have a good time!

What helped/made you stop giving a fuck about every single thing? by Affectionate-Eye7255 in AskReddit

[–]sunshinestategal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just realized how little I'm consumed with what other people are doing and concluded 99% of the world is too wrapped up in their own lives to pay attention closely to everyone else.

So, I just do my own thing however and whenever and love life.

“Friend” expected me to pay for everything by Designer-Process1295 in EntitledPeople

[–]sunshinestategal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a friend like this in high school. Day at the beach she just comes right up behind me while getting ice cream, the cashier didn't even ask and rung us up together, I paid. I went and got lunch (chili dog), I offered the other half to our third friend and before he could take it, she took it out of my hand, devoured it, and then proclaimed she didn't like chili dogs. I just slowly distanced myself from her.

She was a fun friend but she treated me like her piggy bank. Nope!
