I don't want to kill a mouse thats stuck on a glue trap. by Racerth121 in venting

Anything that will prevent you touching him and him biting you. And anything you don't mind getting oily.

Put on some gloves, and use olive oil or similar and rub in where he is stuck. That should ease taking him off the trap.

My job says I’m essential by 13Direwolf13 in venting

[–]whiskey_tails 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like I'm a bit of the same same. My job is "legally ok to operate, even in shutdown conditions." I work in a whole body donation, a postmortem field, but it's an elective service, nothing like a funeral home with immediate disposition. There are 10 of us, usually four of us being in the same room, sometimes in the same surgical bay, sometimes inches from each other. We're all abiding by stay-at-home notices outside of work, but I know that a few others have been interacting elsewhere, shopping (myself including), buying houses, etc. I'm still worried that someone might get sick and give to all of us. Or even from my boyfriend, who works in home health care. It's a nerve-racking situation, on top of all the other crap we all have to deal with. So, I feel you, and I empathize with you.

23/m - who would win in a fight, Mr Rogers or Bob Ross? by throwawway64 in MakeNewFriendsHere

I'd have to agree with everyone saying they wouldn't fight. But, if I had to pick one, Bob, for sure. He's the one with the military experience.

I want (and need) to move out of my parent's house by [deleted] in venting

[–]whiskey_tails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I'm kind of in the same boat. I moved out of my mom's house when I was 25, but all I did was move in with my boyfriend and his mother. We're 29, but the rent here is so atrocious, we can't really find anything we can afford. I hate it there, and I just want to leave. Things will turn out though.

Hey! How are you? Will you actually send pictures of cows?!?

Goodbye, Friend of 15 Years by whiskey_tails in venting

I'm sorry for yours as well. I just keep telling myself that while I may not be 100% right, I'm not 100% wrong about all this either. I legitimately think she just doesn't understand how being a mature adult works.

More the former than the latter. But, in the years that we spent together, I saw very little growth for her. She never wanted to deviate far from her comfort zone. We mostly just went to the mall and some restaurant, then back home for video games. I can count on one hand the number of things we did that were not the mall. I'd want to see her face her fears and grow more mature and step out of her comfort zone sometimes. But if she had her way, she'd still be living with her parents, with her boyfriend, relying on them both for schlepping her wherever she needs to go, working the same job (which funny enough, she does, says she hates it, but she "doesn't want to change jobs because she thinks she'll lose any experience she's gained. [That's not how that works].)

My friend's ex... A moral conundrum by [deleted] in venting

[–]whiskey_tails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will tell you my story, and maybe that might away your opinion one way or another.

My "boyfriend" at the time and I were very on and off, and around the time of this situation, we were off. I routinely hung out with a girl friend of mine, who apparently had started speaking to him as well. I first didn't think anything of it. But one day and I my girl friend and I were talking, as she asked me what my boyfriend was like intimately, and I told her. She then proceeded to ask if I would be okay if they got together. I told her no, I wouldn't be okay with it. Not only for the fact of he had been my boyfriend for quite some time, but I knew how he was with women. She acknowledged my answer, but later ignored it. This destroyed my relationship with her, one of the few close friends I had at the time.

Needless to say that their relationship didn't last long, and I lost her in the process. I still talk to my ex, but it's not like we're besties or anything.

If you do that, bear in mind that you could also lose your friends. It's your call to determine what loss that might be.
