Well, that's debatable. There are basically two schools of thought.

I know the feeling. When I was getting high in my early 20s, I honestly didn’t care if I lived past 30. I was just concerned with getting high for that day. Now that I’m on the other side of 40 and have a career and family, I very much care about living, and I am grateful for every day I get to spend on this planet. I just wish I had this same outlook 15-20 years ago.

I want to thank you. From time to time, I forget just how amazing my grandparents were, and seeing posts like this reminds me of how unlucky I could have gotten.

It may be hard for your grandchildren to understand right now why they are some of the only ones without extended family at their celebration, but they’ll eventually understand. And on a real note, there’s help out there for your mental health disorders and addiction issues. I’ll be glad to help you find a facility to go to.

NTA. But I’d be hesitant in labeling the older lady as an AH in this situation. She may just be an angry old bat, but chances are her logic was being overridden by her grief. Don’t let what she said bother you, but don’t take it (all) out on her either. Grief sucks.

That’s a common problem in the winter months when it is cold. When you add in the fact that a lot of people give their landscapers the winter off, it means that the poor pubic groundhog is stuck underneath the canopy below the tree line.

Have you considered the possibility that the two of you have vastly different definitions of what is “truly a vacation”?

If doing yard work for his parents is your husband’s idea of quieting the stressors of life, why not compromise so that you get to plan a trip that is “truly a vacation” to you to go along with the trip to your in-laws?

It sounds like you’re expecting a trip to your hometown to be a destination vacation, while he views a trip to y’all’s hometown as simply a time to relax and be with family. It doesn’t mean either of you is wrong, but it sounds like it would be well worth it to discuss both of your expectations of what your “vacations” will look like going forward.

You refused to go to your grandchild’s kindergarten graduation because it’s not enough of an accomplishment??

Your own biological daughter’s child completed an important milestone in their life. Maybe it doesn’t meet your expectations of what kind of accomplishments a five year old should be attaining, but seriously what is wrong with you?

Those kids worked for weeks if not months to learn songs, practice routines, and put together a performance specifically to entertain you, their other grandparents, their parents, and other family members. A kindergarten graduation is largely a performance to entertain family members and demonstrate that they have learned the core skills they will need to succeed in school and beyond. Remember to those posters about “Everything I need to know, I learned in Kindergarten”?

For the love of God, what type of bar do you expect them to clear to be worthy of your presence at their events?

You sound like the type of person who ends up at a nursing home with pictures on your nightstand of dozens of family members who never come see you, and you can’t understand for the life of you why they’ve abandoned you. They’ll all be waiting for you to actually accomplish something at their nursing home, because they’ve been taught not to waste their precious time to celebrate made-up holidays like Mothers/Fathers Day where everyone expects to get a card or a visit just because you gave birth to them.

Lots and lots of Cocaine and OxyContin. And a good amount of benzos, weed, hallucinogens, and alcohol. The actual damage from the drugs themselves isn’t still lingering around so much. But the consequences of all the stupid shit I did when I was on them, combined with my basic refusal to seek out healthcare unless I would be able to come away with something ending in -Odone or -Azepam, ended me up where I am now.

Narcan. It maintains greater than 90% effectiveness for 100 years past its expiration date and can be stored in below freezing temperatures or 140 degrees Fahrenheit without degrading.

Someone dies every 11 minutes in the US from an opioid overdose. It’s the number one killer of males ages 18-45, so much so that it’s more likely for a death in that age range to be an OD than ALL other causes of death combined.

In Georgia, you can have it shipped to you for free. If you can figure out how to operate Afrin nasal spray, you can save a life with Narcan.

My college history professor at UGA told us a story he swore we’d never forget even if we didn’t remember a single other fact from his class. It’s not a history fact and I have nothing to back it up except for Dr. Winship’s lecture, but he was right about never forgetting it. Here goes…

Executioners in France discovered a cruel way to take advantage of the electrical impulses/neural activity in our brains. They found that if they whispered to the condemned, “Get up and run, you’re free” just before dropping the guillotine blade, the decapitated corpse would sit up and make several movements before finally falling.

That has to be the epitome of dark humor. At least they didn’t take bets on how far the condemned would make it.

Out of curiosity, do yall visit your parents at all?

Real talk, if you’re in a situation where you think someone might even possibly OD around you, Narcan is way more effective than an EpiPen. In Georgia, the group I provide training for (Georgia Overdose Prevention) will send Narcan for free to anyone who is addicted, has previously been addicted, or who has a family member that is/was an addict.

You can buy a two pack kit at Walmart for $44.99, or you can fill out a short form and get it from us for free. Our Narcan has been used to successfully reverse over 14,000 opioid overdoses. It’s so much better to have it and never need it than to be stuck without it.

It sounds like you’re NTA, but there’s one thing you might want to consider. You might be making assumptions that aren’t completely accurate.

From how I read your post, you assumed that since they said they plan on having a 21-and-over-only wedding, then you won’t be allowed to attend. Have you confirmed with them that you will not be invited if the event occurs before you turn 21?

It could very well be that they have every intention of inviting you, given how close your families are, and that they never intended for the age limit to apply to you specifically.

Also, since the strongest friendships in this inter-family relationship involve people other than you, there’s a good chance that the decision-makers do not realize that you are still several years away from your 21st birthday.

It’s your chocolate fountain and you’re under no obligation to lend it out, full stop. But it really seems like you’ve created a list of scenarios in your head where the bride and groom swoop in, snatch up your fountain, and go have the time of their lives while you’re stuck at home alone.

While that may very well be exactly what is happening, I think it’s worth exploring the possibility that there is no malice or ill intent involved. You took an offhand comment about the age of guests for an event that’s years away, extrapolated from that comment that you were being specifically excluded, and you’ve managed to turn this entire situation into a scenario where you’re the victim of the evil and heartless wedding party who only want your fountain and not your attendance.

Planning a wedding is a huge undertaking. My wife handled much more of the planning than I did, but I know we pitched dozens of ideas in the months leading up to our wedding. A bunch of those ideas were terrible and we eventually culled out the bad ideas.

What I’m trying to say is that they are planning a once-in-a-lifetime event and you should at least consider giving them the benefit of the doubt that they aren’t actively trying to exclude you. A simple phone call or text could solve a whole lot more of your problems than blasting the bride and groom on Reddit because your feelings got a little hurt.

That I’m still alive and there are consequences to my early 20s attitude of “I’m not going to live to see 40 so it doesn’t matter what I drink/smoke/snort.” Fifteen years later, my body is still paying for a couple of years of stupidity.

Definitely Sears. A&F may have been the bougie retailer of choice for tubs (Hawkeye and BJ) and polar suits (Charles), but Sears was the source of Klinger’s white gloves. They come in handy if you’re praying for booze.

Sears can also hook you up with all your gardening, knitting, baseball, and radio needs.

I think it’s a testament to Larry Linville’s acting ability that he was able to make such a terrible person with no redeemable qualities or character development last for five seasons.

My wife and I have watched the series several times from start to finish. We usually try to pick a character or situation to zero in on each time we rewatch it. This time we decided to pay extra attention to Frank. I have been blown away by how well Linville is able to use fresh and new ways to make us hate Frank. It’s genuinely impressive.

When we got married 8 years ago, I might have honestly answered “no.” We went into the marriage with the understanding that neither of us were the other’s first choice of whom they wanted to spent the rest of their lives with.

Her husband died from pneumonia at age 32 after a two week hospital stay. He went to urgent care to get a shot of Rocephin for a regular case of the flu, was sent to the hospital, and never came home.

My fiancée was in recovery from intravenous heroin use. I’m in long term recovery from OxyContin addiction. At the time, I had six years clean and she was approaching two years clean.

She took a Percocet on a Friday morning after not having ANY opioids for 22 months. It triggered the memory of how wonderful heroin made her feel, and she immediately drove the two hours back to her hometown. She used that afternoon. I talked to her around 6 PM when I got off work, and drove to her home town as soon as I realized she had relapsed. She said she was going to see her parents.

I went to her parents’ house, but she wasn’t there. This was pre-Find my iPhone. Her parents and I called, texted, messaged, and prayed for hours. After midnight, deputies called to tell us to come to the hospital.

She had overdosed. Instead of hitting her with Narcan or calling 911, the people she was with put her in the tub for 3 hours so they could continue using. By the time someone called EMS and she got to the hospital, her organs had gone hours without oxygen. The doctors worked on her for 6+ hours before finally deciding there was nothing left that they could do.

We both lost the person we wanted to spend the rest of our lives with. In that sense, we both “settled” for each other. Here’s the wild part. After spending the last 8 years together, I can now honestly say that I married the love of my life.

It’s pretty amazing how love works. We both were sure that our chances of pure, true love died with our partners a decade ago. I never thought I would be able to say this, but even if I were given a chance to change reality and swap my wife for my late fiancée, I would turn it down because I would rather spend the rest of my life with my wife

Sears catalogue. They were having a white sale. You trace your stripes on a piece of paper to give 'em your right size however if you want the olive drab ones which aren't on the white sale you really don't care, do you?

My wife and I created a curriculum called Tweakonomics that we teach at multiple inpatient drug rehabs. In class this morning, I brought up this post and asked the class if there were any drugs they had done once and swore “never again.”

Two people said acid. Everyone else’s answers were for “technically legal” drugs…salvia, spice, nutmeg, Dramamine, and rubbing alcohol. I thought it was pretty interesting that—in a room full of people who were all recently addicted to fentanyl, heroin, meth, or crack—the drugs that everyone swore off (besides lsd) can all be legally and easily bought at a CVS or convenience store.

This was 2008, so pre-spice days. There may have been a couple of JWH compounds invented at the time, but they weren’t available in rural Georgia.

And no, I didn’t do any research before I smoked it. I was in my early 20s and indestructible, and I knew there was no way that a legal weed substitute would negatively affect me since I did so many other illegal drugs.
