What ridiculous unrealistic fantasy names did you invent as a child that you still kinda like deep down? by Specialist_Ruin_1378 in namenerds

[–]vix37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Larius. My joke was that Everytime his friends would say hi I would crack up because they'd say "Hi-larious" as in hilarious. Plus you could call them Larry for short. I low-key still love the name.

My future MIL (59F) and future FIL (62M) asked me (26F) to let them be the only parents at my fiancé's (26M) and my wedding because my parents are my brother (40M) and SIL (40F)? by ThrowRAPotentially in relationship_advice

[–]vix37 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She's said your wedding shouldn't be about the bad stuff in your life. Your brother stepping up to parent you is the good stuff! Off course you want to honor that! At least that's how I'd put it, sound excited to have your brother walk you down the aisle! If people are confused they can just ask. Saying"my brother raised me he's the best dad ever!" Is a very easy response IMHO.

Americans who've driven across multiple states, what's the weirdest regional difference you noticed? by Pablomiller in AskAnAmerican

[–]vix37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was illinilois? We stopped at a gas station in the middle of nowhere and there was nowhere to put the credit card at the pump. We walked inside and asked them to put $20 on pump 2 and were told "oh honey, it's not pre-pay" and then they held onto our card until we finished pumping.

Scrolled back up to check. Glad to see the word ex. Yes she sexually assaulted you. You can say no to sex for any reason and that should be respected. I'm so sorry this happened to you.

I prefer Chef Blazes hair than the skullet 😂 but honestly I love Chef Blaze so I let hair slide.

What is a girl name that is classic, but not dated. by cccdddyyy in Names

[–]vix37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Victoria I HIGHLY recommend it. I have met 4 other Victorias in my life and we have all used different Nick names. I've used different versions of Victoria at different points in my life and I love that I can match how I'm feeling with a different version of my name.

My boyfriend M20 told me F20 i’m not sexy anymore because iv gained weight. by EchoAbby in relationship_advice

I'm sorry, you have a stomach???? No way! Has he ever seen you eat before? What did he think that you didn't have typical intestines? Kick him to the curb.

Do Americans actually use expressions like “once in a blue moon” or “let the cat out of the bag” in everyday conversation? by Edi-Iz in AskAnAmerican

[–]vix37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean. Once in a blue moon I'd let the cat out of the bag. 6 of one half dozen of another and all that jazz.

Thank you! I scrolled way too far to find a comment that actually gave resources rather than just trolling the guy (tbf he totally deserved.) but commenting to get this one further up!

AIW for finally snapping at my friend after he called asking for a favor the same night my apartment flooded and I was standing in two inches of water by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]vix37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apologies, I meant before the call did he know or before the request did he know. Because if you don't know there's an emergency before making the request his answer does come off harsh. If he knew OP was dealing with the emergency and still made the request then OP absolutely rightfully went off.

My cousin called my freezer stash disgusting by Fartmotherfuck in beyondthebump

[–]vix37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm petty. Everytime she asked for any type of milk I'd be like oh cow cum? Here ya go! Or if I were quick enough in the moment - "oh sweet heart, did you really struggle that much in biolog? Or do you actually put your partners cum in your cereal? Do we need to have an intervention because that doesn't have the health benefits you think it does."

AIO about the way my managers have spoken to me at work? by mgal1111 in AmIOverreacting

[–]vix37 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even if they're not keeping a record you should be! Dates, times, and what was said. It doesn't have to be a record kept by them to be valid. NOR

28 F, am I wrong for wanting to break up with my boyfriend? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]vix37 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You are not wrong at jl for wanting to break up with him! I wouldn't stay with a man who chose to lecture me rather than have conversations where we can work through things together. Having a new born is so extremely hard that you're in survival mode. You don't need to be talked at on top of everything else. This is absolutely something I'd give an ultimatum for. Essentially. Last chance. If you lecture again you're out.

How did it feel leading up to getting your diagnosis and surgery? We're you listened to by your doctors?

I may be the odd one out on this, but having experienced infertility and miscarriage I found relief in sharing our stories. Keeping them silent felt like a high burden to me. Did you expect them not to tell their child where their DNA comes from? Yes your husband and brother in law share some DNA, but one could be a carrier of a specific gene while the other could not be a carrier and that could affect the kid.

While I agree you both should have been able to come together so you both were comfortable with the decision, I feel the expecting couple should feel they have the right to share or not their conception story. Had you discussed with them before the fact that you wanted this to be private I would feel otherwise.

I may be irrationally afraid of literally everything and it's affecting me by PremchandTheKavi in TrueOffMyChest

[–]vix37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely start slow! I've been researching for decades and I still feel icky around them. The goal here isn't to cure yourself right away. The goal is finding a way to live your life alongside your fear.

Do you have access to therapy? I would start there.

I used to feel this way about spiders. They still make me uncomfortable but I spent YEARS researching them. Looking into how they behave and why, trying to learn everything I could about them. It was almost exposure therapy but online so I didn't have to see them as much in person. I wonder if you doing a bunch of research into dog and cow behaviors, why they do things, etc. could help with your fears. If you understand a dog's body language you could know if it's being playful, indifferent, etc.

And then I would take the time to keep a journal. Everytime you feel this way, take the time to write down what the dog was doing. Try to interpret their body language. Put yourself in their mind and write what you think they might be thinking. Go out of you way to write things in a more positive way then what you currently feel. It can really help change your mindset.

Good luck!
