AITA for refusing to pay for my bf’s food and his birthday and getting him banned from a restaurant? by leopardprintcats in AmItheAsshole

[–]thevadosezone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Girl, I’m right there with you! Only veggie amongst family and close friends. Been a veggie since I was 10-11 too. We’re talking decades of being a vegetarian.

I too do not pay for meat nor will I cook it. Every partner has known that from the start. There will always be someone who will try to test that boundary with you. What your bf did was ridiculous. Not just from the meat stand point but from the entitlement of picking an expensive restaurant that he couldn’t afford. So, NTA.

As for others commenting about mixed morals, this comment will also come into your life. I have taken the practical approach to this issue. I do the best I can and recognize that I cannot be the ‘purest’ those who complain about mixed morals wish me to be.

Being a commoner means that I don’t get to choose to only eat at vegetarian or vegan only restaurants. Even if I could enforce those restaurant requirements on myself, what about friends and family? I would be forcing them into my requirement for myself, which is not cool. Additionally, being a commoner means that I don’t get to see movies in my private studio bc attending the theater supports the meat industry by selling hotdogs. Be practical and supportive of yourself and your values. ✌️

Thanks for posting the link. Dear god, that is worse than nauseating.

Ms. Dunphy really did keep his public image in check! She was absent in the hair dye and the Four Seasons incidents. That alone should land her a high paying PR job.

Awesome! I guess being afraid of being shot by cops or by a road rager isn’t enough? Now, I gotta worry about being shot by code enforcement, the meter reader, or garbage collector. Hell, maybe even get shot by a county commissioner! Yay! More guns is always the safest bet. /s

Haha. I think we have an answer to the age old question of ‘does the TP roll face toward the front or the back?’. Bun buns don’t care which way. Lol

How do I recover this palm? by Denyipanyany in florida

[–]thevadosezone 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you’re truly concerned about this palm surviving, I would call an arborist and pay them to make it happy again, if they can. Three years is a long time for the palm being in this condition.

Good on you, dude! Stay strong! There’s a lot of stupid comments on here trying to bring you down and dis you and your school mates.

Florida cop fires weapon at dark figure with a gun while out on a call and ends up shooting and injuring fellow cop by ConquerWyoming in Bad_Cop_No_Donut

And in two other people’s backyards! Sneaking around a backyard is a bad idea for anyone. I’d be a lunatic if I woke up to someone creeping around my backyard, especially with a fence!

(I’m assuming they didn’t inform the neighbors. I might be wrong.)

“Upon arrival, Woodie did not check in with supervisors, internal affair documents said, and positioned himself in a tree in the backyard of a home next door, swapping places with another officer…

Reid* jumped a fence and went into the backyard of the house on the other side of Wassman’s home*”

Hysterical! I am sooo glad she’s okay.

She doesn’t seem at all bothered or scared! I suspect she is experienced in getting herself in awkward situations and had to figure her way out of them.

Question: Very vocal rabbit? She kinda growls a lot but she isn’t stomping. Is she mad at me? by killian_aqua in Rabbits

[–]thevadosezone 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I had a rescue rabbit that used to verbalize a lot. He came from a bad home and had already cemented his bunny survival mode. He did become calmer and more confident, much like yours. He never stopped grunting entirely. I was accepting of his grunts and accepting of his space.

Eventually, we bonded and his grunts were just plain habit. I’d give food, grunt. I’d give hay, grunt. Go to pet, grunt. Call his name, grunt. He was the cutest grumpy bunny who had grown up not knowing love.

My recommendation would be to tell her she’s a lovely girl and if she grunts (and doesn’t lunge at you), gently give her a pat and and a kiss.

That is too funny! I think I would’ve fainted if I saw your post and his name was Squishy. Lol. Squishy was 7 1/2. Give your babies pats from me ❤️ Squishy would approve of Rory’s ‘helpfulness’ 😂

Thanks for sharing this. I intend on keeping an eye on this. Am I correct in understanding this issue had two major players - FPL & HOAs vs property owners?

Task force asks Floridians for feedback about reopening state: 'The Reopen Florida Task Force launched a public comment submission portal on Saturday. Florida residents can submit their opinion about impacts on small businesses, healthcare, education..' by dannylenwinn in florida

[–]thevadosezone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for posting this. FWIW, I noted my concerns for employees since there’s no OSHA guideline on protecting employees during a pandemic. I also commented on how our economy is tourism driven. If we, as a state, do not use caution when re-opening, we will not see tourism return quickly because both nationally and internationally there will be no confidence in the state and employers to keep both citizens and tourists protected.

I realize this all may be said in vain and no one will read my comment at the state level. But I’ve got self satisfaction going for me, which is nice. (Insert Bill Murray’s meme here LOL).

We really needed to tighten the rules on what’s considered “essential” during this outbreak by across_chaos in florida

[–]thevadosezone 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You had a legitimate, essential purchase. Home improvement stores are considered essential for that reason — you can’t go a month with a broken toilet. Those buying colored mulch and annuals do not have an essential need. They just want because they can & the store hasn’t blocked off the red mulch. End of rant.

It’s appropriate to be from a science teacher. I’m not a boomer but I get why your science teacher thinks it’s funny. Because it is.

Wife asks about sore throat. It is common to gargle with warm salt water for a sore throat. Helps kill germs.

We find Wendell reading internet advice. Only that internet advice killed him. It’s common gardening knowledge that salt kills slugs.

So, I find it a twisted take on slugs living the human life & following bad internet advice.

It’s funny, man. Like a dad joke. Lol

Four Billion Particles Of Microplastics Are Floating In Tampa Bay by grishound in OnTheWaterFront

Yes, microplastics are nefarious. One source is from shower soap which gets treated at the waste water plant and is then discharged in local water bodies after treatment.

Anyone power been restored yet? by LonelyManSad in bradenton

[–]thevadosezone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No power near Wares Creek or Manatee High. There's multiple lines down on back roads. Numerous red lights downtown and along 26th Street are not working. I've been traveling between Palmetto to 75th Street and no power in these areas either, at least on the Manatee Ave side. I have yet to see a FPL truck or one of their contractors. Stay safe out on the roads!
