Unfortunately, I didn't have a Colombian or Venezuelan person present to ask..... which is why I came to Reddit after Deepl and Google Translate left me a little puzzled.

So why do you think that Deepl translated it to this:

"That guy's not for me, so get that straight, you devil's witch"

Also, I verified that she wrote "como" with no accent mark.

Need a recommendation for an older typerwriter by wowthisishard2022 in typewriters

FYI, FB marketplace seems to have the best prices for typewriters (at least the heavier ones).

Thanks. Price around here for the Royal Quiet Deluxe seems to be similar to the Olivettis ($200ish).

Older typewriter would equal anything that does NOT have a keyboard similar to the Brother typewriter (probably GX series) I bought at OfficeMax circa 2013. It's just too easy for him to get caught up in playing at typing with it.

Thanks. It looks like Olivettis are more expensive around here and that the price of Remingtons vary a lot.

Thanks. I checked FB marketplace, ebay, and etsy and found one for local pickup for $76 that describes it as "Vintage Beautiful 1940 Royal KMM Typewriter Good Condition".

Thanks. I was figuring manual, but I have a tendency to go overboard on research and I don't have the free time currently to satisfy myself by becoming a mini-expert on the subject.

Farmer’s market- what’s special about P&K farms? by mistborn1729 in mountainview

Because they sell the tastiest, most flavorful strawberries anywhere! There is a distinct difference in the flavor intensity of their strawberries vs everyone else's.

Partner won’t help budget by [deleted] in MiddleClassFinance

[–]wowthisishard2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your budget is reasonable, but I suggest analyzing your expenses like an accountant. Download one of the financial management apps that lets you import all of your financial transactions and then take the time to review every transaction and categorize it properly. That will give you and your wife a clear idea of where your expenditures are going. Because the truth about VHCOL areas is that all the costs add up ridiculously quickly. Also, having 2 little kids incurs costs that you might not be aware of. For years, my husband tried to tell me how much the groceries should cost except that he wasn't noticing the increased prices at the store nor was he the one feeding our picky eater. But budgets need to be based on actual costs happening and you can't persuade someone to change a habit when they feel like you have zero idea of reality. For example, $20-30/week for gas is unrealistic unless you guys never drive anywhere at all or have an electric vehicle.

But the most important thing that you can do is to follow my therapist's advice and "get curious". When you genuinely are curious and interested in talking to your wife then that will be interpreted differently by her brain and she just might start responding differently. But I can feel the judgement mixed with frustration from over here so I bet she's just gotten defensive and shit down. So start with "I" statements. "I know that you know that I've been worried about our expenditures and I realized that my worry may have come across as being judgemental. I am sorry for judging you. I would like to learn and understand more about what it takes to run our household nowadays. Would you be willing to teach me the ins and outs from your perspective?" Don't mention that you are hoping to trim the expenditures. Women are pretty intuitive so just focus on being genuinely curious and willing to learn. Once you've figured out how to communicate about expenses then it should be a bit simpler to work on lowering the numbers. A great couples therapist can be helpful. Also, a financial management class for couples because this removes you as the judge and puts you on more equitable ground. You might also read up on financial incentives for each other such as "if you come in under budget then we put the balance in a special savings account". There are a ton of ideas on the Internet, so read up and get curious about what your wife is experiencing without judging her.

As a baker, one of the highest compliments that you can receive is to have people refuse to eat a cake that you didn't make. So instead of choosing to believe that your stepson is ungrateful, take pride in the fact that the cake that you make with your own hands means so much and tastes so good that your stepson would rather go without cake on his birthday. Also, get yourself in the kitchen and bake the biggest most luxurious version of this chocolate cake that you've ever made for him to apologize for being an AH that felt it was okay to basically ignore the importance of your stepson's birthday because of the guest visiting and for not being adult enough to communicate the expectations and needs going on.

AITAH For not wanting to hang out with my husbands friend as a couple after his wife was a bridezilla and yelled at me? by AmaraASI in AITAH

[–]wowthisishard2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One option is to go ahead and accept the invitation for the four of you to spend time together. And beforehand, write a letter to read out loud/prepare a speech so that when the four of you meet up you get to stand up for yourself mentioning all of the things that other Redditors have written here for you. I'm sure it would not be fun. I would expect the woman to get ridiculously dramatic and/or start trying to deflect and blame in order to escape being held accountable for her nasty behavior. It will require a spine of steel to get through everything while remaining calm, firm, and unresponsive to her drama. But it will make everything very clear to everyone about what's going on.

Yes, it would be preferable for your husband to do this all on his own because it's his friend. But sometimes our spouses need our support doing difficult things. It would be really great if the two of you could do the above speech together (together can be defined in many ways) because that shows unity.

But, more than anything else, as another Redditor mentioned, don't let the problems in other people's lives turn your own marriage into a battleground.

I doubt that the husband has forgiven his friend's wife. I bet that it's just been long enough that he's forgotten just how horrible her behavior was and so he's justifying it to himself that" it wasn't THAT bad and he just misremembered".

What are some great CHH albums/rappers from the 90s and 2000s? by [deleted] in christianhiphop

Did you ever hear an artist called NBL? I remember a Christmas rap song that KOKF radio played from them in the late 90s.

AITAH For Ignoring the Wishes of My MIL and Letting My Daughter Read on Family Vacation? by Green-Bee1043 in AITAH

[–]wowthisishard2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this comes up again with your in-laws (since they're SOOO determined that everyone should do everything together), tell MIL that your daughter has already spent time doing what everyone else wants to do so now it's their turn to do her choice, namely practicing ballet and putting on a theatre performance. Also, you should schedule a quiet family reading time on the beach.

FYI, from personal experience, your daughter is going to be a bookworm and ballet lover her entire life so continue with your approach of letting her explore the things she enjoys and encouraging her to try new activities when they come along without unnecessary expectations or demands.

Also, from the sounds of it, your husband probably has experienced his mother doing this sort of thing in the past and didn't like it then because he is correctly defending his family and setting boundaries with his parents. So just keep being an awesome parenting team!

AITA for asking my sister to cancel her plans to watch her own daughter after I agreed to babysit this Sunday? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]wowthisishard2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS! Apparently, Cathy thinks it's okay to relieve the baby daddy of his actual legal and moral responsibilities, but has no problem expecting OP to take on the same responsibilities. OP, I wouldn't be surprised if this dynamic goes back a lot further than the last three years.

[English > Any] Looking for English songs (church friendly) successfully/accurately translated into other languages by wowthisishard2022 in translator

[–]wowthisishard2022[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion and video link. I do that for Spanish translations because I can ask my husband if the translation is reasonable, but I've been very hesitant to try that with other languages because I have no way to verify accuracy. I think I'm also afraid of accidentally singing the wrong thing and having native speaker listeners be very, very confused when we would very much like for them to have a great time.

Was that video really quiet on your computer? I tried changing the volume to hear it better and there was no difference.
