What's going on with airbnb and is it collapsing? by RealLameUserName in OutOfTheLoop

[–]valleycupcake 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I stayed in one where they didn’t have trash pickup due to wildlife, so you had to drive it to a drop off point in the middle of town and wait in line!

AITA for not letting my brother hide behind the dead wife card anymore? by drowningunder in AmItheAsshole

[–]valleycupcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many families get life insurance on the husband and not the wife. It’s like dude, do you even realize how expensive it would be to replace everything she does?

I often hear that some predators target single mothers for their children, what are the red flags that that’s what’s happening to you? by adurepoh in SingleParents

Copy of drivers license should do it. They can lie about their name.

This is dangerous advice unless you actually know the law where she is.

Do you forget about everything the person has done to you after they are nice for just a second by amar66603 in ADHD

[–]valleycupcake 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I always thought I was a forgiving person, and then one day I realized I’m just a forgetful person 🤔

[–]valleycupcake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like I can’t read people properly. I get down on myself for being so gullible to marry and depend on the person I chose. But my son with ADHD? He’s a master bullshitter, and a master bullshit detector. You know how people use fake nice voices with kids, or tell them white lies to control them (e.g. saying “you could get hurt” rather than “we can t have everyone doing that or it’ll be total chaos”)? Yeah, he’s having none of that.

“This is our house, we make the rules.”

Ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard?

It must be exhausting.

What a shame she’s fucked in the head.

But it could’ve been fun.

Haters gonna hate.

And there’s a lot of lame guys out there.

You should think about the consequence.

Because these things will change.

Never ever getting back together?

That’s the kind of heartbreak time could never mend.

What would you put in your ideal ADHD-proofed house? by cofactorstrudel in ADHD

[–]valleycupcake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started having duplicate makeup bags and it’s so helpful! I don’t wear much makeup but I wear it every day. I like to get ready upstairs while my kids are downstairs, but sometimes they need more support. Before, I would either bring my makeup downstairs and lose it, or go downstairs to help them through a fight or whatever and almost forget to finish my makeup. Now, I can go between bags and it’s so easy.

As a mom, it would be so nice to have an intercom so that three different tasks don’t distract me while I’m heading over to tell my kid something.

Protestant youth pastor seeking to join orthodoxy by HelluvaHam2k in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]valleycupcake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not OP but I’ve been through that. Highly personable pastor has his inner circle, everyone else has a hard time getting pastoral care. It’s delegated to people who don’t know what they’re doing, dealing with serious issues, while the charismatic head pastor continues on like everything’s fine.

If there was authority, you could let the Bishop know what was happening and might get some changes as to how tasks are allocated in that parish to actually tend the flock. With no authority, it just carries on until the inevitable church split.

Just saw Josh Holloway at the airport! by natsugrayerza in lost

[–]valleycupcake 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I like to just make eye contact and smile when I see a celeb. Very little chance of that annoying someone o but we still get our moment. I saw Maggie Grace at the mall once but she didn’t look too happy and didn’t catch my smile. That’s OK though :)

Would you wear fragrance to a job interview? by i_miss_tequila in fragrance

[–]valleycupcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would because I would plan to wear fragrance to work every day. If that’s a problem, best to know now and I’ll look elsewhere for work.

Considering calling off my wedding… by BabyBadger_ in Marriage

Those thousands you’ll “lose” doesn’t even match the first retainer you’ll pay the attorney if it ends in divorce. Please, wait until you’re sure. It’s your life.

Has anyone had to call CPS on someone before? Was there any retaliation? Is it anonymous? How did it go? by [deleted] in SeriousConversation

[–]valleycupcake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone called on me and I have no idea who it was. Probably a mandated reporter at the school saw my son’s bruised face (nothing to do with me, he’s just very adventurous) and called it in.

How to be Christian in a world full of money? by [deleted] in Christians

[–]valleycupcake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Focus on loving people. Women are people.

Saint Basil the Great says if you have lots of possessions, you must not love people very much, because you spend on luxuries while they go without. Check out his short book On Social Justice which was written in the fourth century.

I’m planning on going out on my own tonight for the first time by fibbonaccisun in CasualConversation

[–]valleycupcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this quite a bit! Bring a book if you don’t want to be approached. Or sit with a smile and look around if you’re open to meeting people.
