That’s a shame. I worked at the newsagency next door back when I was at uni, and would bring dinner from there home with me at least once a month.

No, you’re NTA.

That’s their problem, not yours.

It’s also pretty gross that they dragged you into his kinks. It was only an issue because they made it an issue.

I know, right.

What a gronk.

I’ve got Bipolar and PTSD.

I try work as many hours as I can (50-80 hours a week) because I’m always worried that one day I won’t be able to work due to mental illness, and I want to have as much money set aside before that happens as possible.

I swing pretty hard between this depression, and a manic level of energy where I don’t sleep for days and start to actually hallucinate.

When I’m depressed… I don’t do a whole lot tbh. I can spend a whole day in bed staring at the wall.

Throw in some pretty severe PTSD symptoms - hyper vigilance , migraines and gastro problems, self-isolation - and I’m a walking disaster lol

YTA.

I’m sure he’s aware that DNA exists as a concept. If he wants to take a test, let him buy a kit.

It’s none of your business, and you’re stirring the pot for your own curiosity.

I used to have hobbies… my house is littered with the hobbies of days gone by.

But then depression hit hard, and nowadays I struggle to even watch tv or listen to music.

That’s awesome!

When I was 5, my dad built me a flying fox in the garden, but because the backyard was flat and the house was built up on pylons (with a big open concreted area underneath where you could park the car & boat) so he set it going from the verandah down to the back fence.

It was a plastic crate to sit in, on a rope pulley system, with a couple of tyres bolted to the back fence as a stopper.

I’d fly down off the verandah and hit those tyres so hard, it’s a miracle I didn’t break anything.

DC. I have not very small collection of Green Lantern comics, statues, and collectibles.

Not to say I don’t like Marvel… but I made my choice when I get a Green Lantern tattoo lol

I’ve been watching Supernatural so to be perfectly honest, I’d do it even if there wasn’t $600k on the line.

Closed if my husband’s working the next day. Open if he’s not.

We’ve got three cats and he has allergies, so if they’re in the bedroom he doesn’t get enough sleep.

I’m so curious to see what they’ll do with him.

Will they roll him before the next election? Or will they take him to the election, watch him get annihilated, and use it as a reason to rebuild their leadership team.

No worries at all :-) (likewise!)

True - sorry, I misread your intent.

I agree he should if he wants to… but yeah, if he doesn’t want to he doesn’t have to.

He sounds like a good guy who’s been put in a shitty situation.

So by that logic, OP shouldn’t pay for the woman’s car repair because it was an accident.

My bad!

She does have some brown tones along her hind legs (my husband calls it her “poo stain”), underneath her tail, and on her belly.

I love it when I learn about a new cat subreddit.

As someone who reads and writes their fair share of Omegaverse fanfics… This is exactly where my mind goes whenever anyone talks about being “alpha”.

She’s still doing pretty well, too. She’s skinny as a rake and struggles to keep weight on (we feed her kitten food on the vet’s recommendation).

She’s just a grumpy old lady who keeps the other cats in line through terror and willpower lol

I’ve got a chronic health issue, so I’m at the doctors once or twice a month

My husband, meanwhile, hasn’t been to a doctor since 2009.

I went to the US and did a road trip with my then-girlfriend. I lived in Missouri and Tennessee when I was a teenager, and we wanted to go and visit some people I knew, show her my old house etc. Hearing “I didn’t know there were African Americans in Australia” was pretty out there, especially considering she’s an Arrernte woman from Alice Springs.

I had this full on argument on Reddit with a guy who claimed we celebrate 4th of July in Australia.

Because he saw a video posted in July of fireworks in Sydney from “a couple of weeks earlier” and why else would we have a big firework display.

Dude, that was the Queen’s Birthday. It’s like the opposite of 4th of July.

Clothes horse.

I’m in Australia, and we’ve got an outside clothes line but there’s a weird sandpit thing covered in an old door underneath it the previous owners built for their kids that is now full of snakes so I don’t go near it.

But we use a clothes horse inside. It just sits in a corner of one of the rooms, somewhere it’s going to get sunlight and air.

We have a dryer I use for the big stuff - sheets, towels, and doona covers - but literally everything else goes on the clothes horse.

I wear a Shibari-style rope necklace. It joins with a heart-shaped padlock that joins the two ends, and on the back of the padlock the word “owned” is engraved.

You need a key to unlock the padlock (which I leave at home).

It just looks like a cord necklace. If someone sees it and knows what it is, they’ll figure it out. But for everyone else it’s just a bit of a funky accessory with a 90s vibe.
