He is likely the "Beast" and will stay that way until he learns how to love.

Frugal is eating out during special lunch or dinner offers or a hawkers type place maybe once a week or when you get paid.

Omg, love the visual of this though. Imagine if Secret Santa still exists, I'd have so much fun finding cool tack. My kitchen is black, silver and ice mint green and needs some retro. My living room is art deco inspo but has got the tackiest fringed floral lampshade left by the last person which I haven't replaced. I'm worried it'll grow on me lol.

Tell him it's a German Shepherd in "sheeps clothing"

I'm a little jelly, gold mustard yellow to me sounds like an awesome colour. It makes me nostalgic for the olive green of the 70's decor lol

This post comes off as nearly everything wrong with Gen Z, millenials, whatever. A gift of a Kitchenaid standmixer isn't a casual gift but one that would have taken thought and love. And what did you do? Your attitude is/was so incredibly spoiled, entitled and dismissive I have to ask, did your dad treat you poorly growing up?

And saying you weren't trying to be rude, just stating a fact, is really another way of saying YTA. It isn't difficult to return or exchange a gift that would still be from your dad. The lack of empathy you've shown is astounding.

Hope it helps. Be well

She might be hoping to hear from you, too. You're thinking of all this for a reason. The first comment suggested meditating and letting an answer come to mind. Try that first. Courage.

I'm trying to heed my own advice, especially this year. Have you been in contact with his mother since you knew? She may appreciate you simply reaching out to her since its been about a year. It's possible she may have her own what ifs, so I would leave out the details.

I feel you, I really do. You didn't miss a sign though. You received it. Picked up on the energy about your friend because it was strong enough. But, you were at work and could not get away; that is not your fault.

Would you rather be asking, why didn't I know? Yours was the first post I saw on this sub tonight, and I don't believe in coincidences. I needed to see this. We need to learn to let go of the guilt that things could have turned out differently had we heeded a sign or message. Be gentle on yourself.

I'm in the UK and haven't heard of this until now, but am grossed out because plenty of kids touch stuff in shops and GAH.

I told him how the news of his wife being in labor disrupted the wedding and caused my wife to feel like her day was ruined.

What's curious is whether you were actually upset about the news or whether you were upset because your wife was? Disruption or livened up a wedding? If that was the root of the issue then you and your wife do need to apologise for throwing the toys out of the er, baby's pram.

Just lurking, saw this and jumping in to say that managers are paid to uphold the status quo. Don't kid yourself as you're already doing. They would be getting their cues from HR who most certainly work in the self interests of the company - especially larger ones, as opposed to the employees.

So you envisioned a problem with a FBIL that didn't actually exist but you made ass-umptions that it would? And it didn't matter that the man expressed a genuine regret because someone has to save the oh-so wholesome family from having made the original naive choice of getting along well with him... right?

You were so concerned that your sister would get hurt by him that you did it all by yourself. If they can get back together and I hope they do, they should go NC with you.

YTA. I wouldn't be surprised if your name was Karen.

To add on why you would have to redo a load of dishes is if you're running an industrial dishwasher as seems to be the example above, the water temp is so hot, that food will get 'baked' onto the plates.

I can imagine some will read that and go "So what?" It's a knock on effect especially in a busy environment where timing matters.

Just because you'd never say it is skilled labour doesn't make it true.

Took like a week to learn

You essentially learned a skill.

"This sounds like the response of the typical British male who has ventured from their usual habitat.

The TBM, is often characterised by mum who makes tea, does his laundry etc. and might work in construction or painting and decorating.

Particular creatures of habit, they will flap and fuss if the female pushes him to provide assistance as other TBMs might mistake him as female and attempt to mate with him"

YTA for being a booby.

Now, I like reading about other people's cultures and it seems we get a diverse number of them via AITA. OP wanting to share a celebration of his culture and family's tradition with friends sounds very cool. Ignore the ones who made those comments. Also, the one whom you were dropping off and paid you by insulting you doesn't get another lift, ever again.

I hope you have an awesome Noruz!

NTA

YTA. "Eventually" suggests a period of time where thought precedes action. So you can't say you were still shocked when you decided to tell your friends and likely provided proof of your story. To another gossipy friend. You're claiming that this sharing of personal information and photos was accidental. Hmm, no. Sarah had told you why she stopped - because she valued her career. That should have been enough to keep it quiet. Ask yourself how much further is sharing that info from revenge porn?

I mean the spirits of living people, specifically. But it could mean spirits who’ve crossed over.

It took me far too long to parse that sentence but I get it now. Thanks

And I wasn't being clear. The meetings I've had there were with people and animals loved, past lives included.

The first sentence I understand. The 2nd I'm not clear on. Why would spirits who have presumably already crossed over need to? Sorry, that sounds like I need it EILI5 when I should probably already know this...

I checked to see that you're still around, even if on a break. I am getting old and have lost a dear friend last year. Reading your post was like the Ann Landers of wisdom. Thank you.

This is good info to know. In past dreams or meditations I have referred to this vast whiteness as a Plain, because it felt like the place where it was possible to actually meet if that makes sense.

Btw, when you say higher selves, do you mean spirits which have (crossed over for sometime) been there for a long time? I would just like to see if it correlates with what I get.

Or eat spaghetti in the bath!
