- Comment on Is it weird I don't typically answer how old I am anymore, because literally nobody besides my family believes me? 7 hours ago:
I used to get that a lot. I was constantly carded. Once they wouldn’t sell to me, even with my ID, because I had the babysitter with me and they thought we were both underage trying to buy alcohol. When I was about 25 I started adding10 years to my age when people asked, just to see the reaction.
- Comment on I'm not sure if I'm the stupidest smart person I know, or the smartest stupid person. 7 hours ago:
I think I’m an knows not, knows. Unfortunately all of my bosses are knows not, knows nots.
- Comment on I don't like having an iPhone 2 days ago:
I use an android phone and an iPad. iPad is all fun - movies, online shopping, duolingo, things when I’m not in a hurry and I don’t care how it looks or how long I have to look for something.
- Comment on I'm curious. 3 days ago:
Fuck. I work with people who are too stupid to recognize how stupid they are. It’s exhausting!
- Comment on Is my shampoo smelling like fruit or is my fruit tasting like shampoo? 3 days ago:
I love cilantro. It doesn’t taste soapy to me.
- Comment on Is my shampoo smelling like fruit or is my fruit tasting like shampoo? 3 days ago:
Why does ‘sweet Thai chili’ sauce in most restaurants taste like dishwater?
- Comment on [deleted] 5 days ago:
Do you think their spouses, children, parents, neighbors know what they do? Do they just say “it’s classified” and pretend that they have a real job?
- Comment on What is wrong with being "Black Pilled"? 6 days ago:
I’ve never heard that term. I get that some people choose not to date, but don’t most people just live- go to work, grocery, social events, etc.- and talk to the people around them? I don’t really see someone saying, “hey, if that nice girl talks to me I’m going to ignore her.”
- Comment on Can it take months to get over being laid off? 2 weeks ago:
Good answer. Doc is the best answer but may be financially difficult. Some jobs offer EAP (employee assistance program) - it only gets you 3 free visits, but it is a start. Do some reading on depression. Try to find a reason to get outside each day - even if you start with a 5 minute walk and add a bit every day or two. Is there something or someone you can help? Sometimes you’ll do for others what you won’t do for yourself - a walk for the dog, a healthy meal for a spouse, …
- Comment on Is flirting redundant? 3 weeks ago:
Attractive is not the same as good-looking. Nice, fun people are attractive. Assholes are ugly.

I think that’s how we got fahrenheit.
- Comment on Cat door in window 3 weeks ago:
Did a little browsing online and learned about cat fences and rollers. Wondering if i can just attach plexiglass to the top 2’ all the way around, so it’s too slick for then to climb. It’s a small sideyatd - about 20’ x 10’, with a brick house on one long side.
- Comment on US | Trump Reportedly Greenlights Plan for US Attack on Iran Without Congressional Approval 3 weeks ago:
And they never declare war. We have conflicts and situations but never war- too much paperwork.
- Comment on Cat door in window 4 weeks ago:
That’s a good idea. I bet i can find pics or videos.
- Comment on Cat door in window 4 weeks ago:
Seems fine. If you don’t need to see out that part of the window you could just put the flap in a piece of plywood. Check the scrap bin at Lowe’s for one that’s close to the right size. Maybe put adhesive weatherstripping around the edge to hold it in well.
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 4 weeks ago:
As a mom of men, it has always concerned me that, while we were supporting our girls, we left our boys to flounder a bit. We spent so much time telling girls that they could do anything and they could be ‘just as good as the boys’ and talking to women about glass ceilings and ‘don’t let the man keep you down.’ What did we tell our boys or rather what did they hear?
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 4 weeks ago:
I don’t know. How do you teach empathy?
- Comment on If a sandwich is defined as any food item between two pieces of bread, then a layer cake is a type of sandwich. 4 weeks ago:
In my house most baked goods are eaten without a fork, one small sliver/square at a time, while standing at the counter and repeatedly saying, “I’m just going to have one small bite.”
- Comment on Spicy food never affects my gut and everyone thinks it's really weird. How unusual is this and what could be happening to explain why spicy food doesn't affect me? 4 weeks ago:
I’ve heard people say that things are spicy on the way out but i don’t really understand what that means. Spicy doesn’t bother me, but greasy, smoky, and dairy kill my stomach.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Yes. Get out on some rural roads with a friend if possible.
- Comment on If youre bi do you have to prove it? 4 weeks ago:
You never have to prove anything. You don’t have to have a label. You can just go through your day and smile at anyone you like in the moment.

Isn’t that what Drunk Pete did?

When you’re fancy enough to bowl in your own.
- Comment on Why are you here and not on Reddit? 5 weeks ago:
Upvoting here is more “thanks for sharing” and less “i agree.”
- Comment on Why are you here and not on Reddit? 5 weeks ago:
I like to chat for free instead of for someone else’s profit. Also, theres a sightly higher class of BS here. And better punctuation.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I shared this with a friend, who has 5-10 more years to work and i thought she would respond about retirement. Instead she said that’s how she feels as a mom to adult kids.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I have 2-6 years to go. I really like the work but admin is becoming increasingly difficult to tolerate. It makes me sad to think about someone else helping my school kids because i bailed on them. Someone said you sound workaholic but it’s really just about feeling needed and productive and helpful.

Maybe they’ll give out free samples to attendees.
- Comment on Women often take initiative on the food finding 2 months ago:
We find food because men -
1- keep asking what there is to eat, and
2-can’t find things in the panty or fridge without help.
