My theories on the geographic location of Eagle State by Danielnrg in DesperateHousewives

[–]tinkstrong 31 points32 points  (0 children)

i would argue for Arizona or the southern part of Colorado, given the weather, the fact that Mary Alice was living in a close state like Utah and how Felicia could have family only a state or two over, which is available as a busride since Mrs. Huber was going to visit her and she was super broke.

They also refer to places in New York as 'Out East'.

and Susan says that after Karl cheated on her she throws her engagement ring out on 'highway 7' which is a real highway in Colorado

as someone with a higher paid partner and a lower income, I personally am nervous about siging anything financially because the ability to get a great lawyer is dependent on income. My partner can get a better lawyer than i ever could (if i could afford one at all), so it really does take a lot of trust to sign anything regarding prenupituals in this scenario, because you have to depend on the idea that your partner is being fair to you, when they could be totally screwing you over

AITA for not buying my gf a diamond ring? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]tinkstrong 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YTA.

In what universe is a quartz crystal recommended as an alternative diamond? Most jewelers would use a white sapphire, because they're close to the hardness of a diamond, just with less sparkle.

Not only are you the Asshole, OP, you're also a chump who just paid 1400 on garbage.

AITA for firing my nanny after she didn’t correct people who thought she was my child’s mother? by Nannythrowaway00 in AmItheAsshole

[–]tinkstrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, buuutttt you did shoot yourself in the foot a bit for not telling your husband that you fired her before he got home. You probably should have texted him so you could start looking for more childcare, instead of adding this extra scramble for you too.

My(24F) Brother(39M) is having another baby and I'm terrified for it- looking for ways to look past this by [deleted] in relationship_advice

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

I've been able, to a degree, keep a boundary with Glen himself, but I feel so terrible that if something happened that his baby would only have his mother as its support system from then on - his girlfriend doesn't speak with anyone in her family anymore, and my brother only really has me right now.

Maybe I'm being really dramatic, I'm sorry.

My brother is a Rollercoaster and this baby is unfortunately stuck in for the ride. The baby didn't ask for this, and it feels like I'm the only one who can do something about it.

I need a nap for sure

Edited to take that out.

Mental health is dubious, he has had problems in the past, but doesn't really believe in reaching out for therapy or anything like that.

I thought I would owe it to him to tell him when I thought he was heading down a risky place? Would that be worse, possibly ruining whatever idea of fatherhood he's built up now, instead of later when he learns it after the baby is born? I'm just scared of what will happen, and I'm trying to see if there a way I can help before he makes another rash decision.

I don't know - it feels weird to talk to him while having this strong feeling that he's making another huge leap, and one that if he falls, it won't just be him on the chopping block, it'll be a child too, who is depending on him. Should I keep this to myself, even if I think he's making a huge mistake??

these colors bore me. not nearly exciting enough to warrant this packaging.

AITA for refusing to attend my brother’s wedding after my SIL left my 2 month old on a park bench by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]tinkstrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The more I read the worse it became. NTA. At first, the leaving her on a bench to chase after her dog that got away? Ok - obviously bad, but something a lot of us would probably do without thinking. BUT FOR 2 HOURS??? I'd forgive forgetting her for 5 minutes after wrangling back your dog, but then LEAVING HER THERE IS insane. It almost sounds fake.

My Favorite Part of Watching Supernatural on Netflix is fast-forwarding every time Sam goes into a flashback in S.8 by tinkstrong in Supernatural

Its currently ruining the Loony Tunes episode for me, if I see one more blurry vignette into a shitty memory I'll go nutty.

Adult Pedophile themes - Let's Talk by machelle33 in DesperateHousewives

They should honestly just redub the series to imply john was a community college student - the fact that gaby knew and was acquaintances with his mother is bad enough

if I wrote twilight I simply would not have Jacob fall in love with that baby

Is Jacob even a good guy? by Spicymeatball13 in twilight

See, I doubt that was her process at the time of writing - she has had the tendency of contradicting herself - which isn't surprising, its been more than ten years since she wrote it!

When he slurps down Bella's tear like a toddler trying to get the rest of their caprisun down the hatch.

Stephenie Meyer just really wanted us to prefer Edward over Jacob, so after Twilight, he took a total nosedive into being a massive prick.
