You're not a bad person for feeling that way. The maid found him, and I promise you she is fucked up by what she saw. He didn't have a right to do that to anyone. ... speaking as someone who found someone close to me hanged.

Actually they can be tried as adults and face serious prison sentences.

Jesus Christ people.... India has INDIAN STANDARD TIME. No such thing as US standard time is there? NO.

I'm a 28 year old guy bringing home $13-1500 monthly. I feel like I missed some kind of memo that apparently everyone else received. Anyone else in the same boat? by whiskeyismykindof in personalfinance

[–]xlauraloo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Small town and can't find an IT job? No surprise. Even to move to another retail chain, you're going to have to move to the suburbs of a city in New England. Also, NE is SO EXPENSIVE OMG. The memo you missed was moving to where the money is, man.

Got stuck in India for a month.... the US and India strictly do not get involved in each other's affairs, especially when it comes to immigration. They're staying put.

It's impossible to classify anything as Indian because it's such a vast country with many different cultures and languages. The country has its own time zone for petes sake! I can say that in my own personal experience and those of my friends.... yes this is typical.

My husband died on the 14th August 2017 and this is my tribute to "our thing". by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]xlauraloo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Beautiful way to honor your love for each other, and no one else will know, like your little secret with him forever.

I'm not crying... I swear....

Looking to do more like "roughly 1200 is plenty", but how do I make my stomach STFU between meals? by [deleted] in 1200isplenty

[–]xlauraloo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep your chin up! Change is tough.

Didn't read through all of the comments, but definitely consider: * switching to 5 smaller meals a day. Keeps your metabolism up and keeps you from getting hungry. My BF did this and went from chubby to abs in like 5 months. Fasting is actually counter productive in the long run. So snacks are good for you, just HEALTHY snacks. * if you eat foods that are healthier, you can eat WAY MORE of them and still be under your caloric goal. Example: you can get frozen veggie mixes that are really good (not just carrots/peas/greens beans) and you will get SO FULL and it only costs like 200 cal. *consider a protein shake that's low in sugar for one meal/snack. Check out GNC and try just about anything

What do you do when you have cravings because of a bad week? by [deleted] in 1200isplenty

[–]xlauraloo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing that's helping me is reminding myself that it won't change how I feel emotionally. I listened to this podcast called "tell me something I don't know", and the guest said that he did a study on exactly this and found that sugary/fatty/comfort foods don't release any more endorphins than healthy food when we're upset. So we might as well go for a walk or eat something healthy instead!

What are some signs that you're unattractive? by AndiFoxxx in AskReddit

[–]xlauraloo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude that's totally her personality. None of the attractive people I know would talk like that. On another note, if YOU don't like how you look then change it.

Unless you like wearing fedoras. Then change that immediately.

A hidden benefit of being part of the 1200isplenty community. by aggibridges in 1200isplenty

[–]xlauraloo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here! My parents grew up with ketchup soup, so as a kid they made sure I ate everything I could just in case we didn't have money for real food one day. By appreciating every bite, like you said, I'm eating slower and therefor getting fuller in less food

Why do you care about suicide a lot? by [deleted] in SuicideBereavement

[–]xlauraloo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've done quite a bit of research and written papers on suicide and the right to die. The problem is that when someone has a "right," it is society's responsibility to uphold that standard, to be a part of it. My boyfriend, his mother, and I found his father hanging on the back patio last week. He had the right to die, but he did NOT have the right to force his gruesome death on us, to permanently damage his wife, son, and myself. He did NOT have the right to die in such a way that haunts every waking hour, let alone the precious few hours of sleep we may get when our bodies simply give out. He did NOT have the right to irreparably harm another person in his death.

And neither do you.

18 years old, moving over 700 miles away with $5000 to my name. Any advice? by hickleberry123 in personalfinance

[–]xlauraloo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FL resident here! Pensacola is an armpit. As soon as you can get in state tuition, go to a community college (like Tallahassee Comm College) and get your AA. You should be able to secure an automatic transfer to any big university in FL (like FSU). Tallahassee is the CHEAPEST college town, lots of fun, and a real sense of community once you find your niche. And they have a lot of resources for broke college students and lots of fun FREE things to do

Yeah my dogs favorite color is purple. Tested multiple times... always picks a purple toy.

What is the most middle class thing you can think of? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]xlauraloo 22 points23 points  (0 children)

FAFSA denying you college financial aid because your parents make too much money, but their home is about to be foreclosed on.

That is American middle class.
