My [23F] loving dad passed away a while ago. My family cannot afford to get him a proper headstone. I want to pay for it, but my fiancé [24M] doesn't want me too even though we have plenty of money. My dad and I had a very special bond. He was my everything. He passed away last Father's Day suddenly and in a very traumatic way which (I won't get into.) I'll just say that I held him to the very end. It was the worst thing that ever happened to me and on Father's Day of all days. My family is very poor so he was creamated and buried. He doesn't have a headstone, just a tiny grave marker, which bothers me a LOT. I loved him so, he deserves a proper memorial because he was truly the most wonderful person I have ever known and he gave me everything. I recently got my first job as an RN and my fiancé works in the space industry as an engineer. He makes plenty of money for us and happily provides. We keep all our money together. But now since I got a job, I am more able to contribute and save for things I want. I don't have a ton of money since I just started, but the job pays well and I have enough that it would not really affect our financial situation to buy him a headstone. My fiancé thinks it's not a good use of my money. I have a lot of broken teeth and I have always wanted to get them fixed cosmetically. My fiancé thinks this is a better use of my money, but I disagree. I can live with broken teeth a little while longer and it's not nearly as important to on me as giving my father a proper memorial. I think it would improve my mental status from the trauma of what happened to know he is being remembered properly. How do I approach this? Thanks. tl;dr fiancé doesn't want me to buy a headstone for my dad.

How do I (22F) talk to my boyfriend (27M) about his hygiene? Throwaway, since he lurks sometimes Mark* and I have been together for about 1.5 years, and have lived together for about a year. Although we moved in together really early (Long story short it was an escape from a toxic living situation) we have a healthy relationship otherwise. We both love each other, and we try to communicate as best we can. Which is part of why I'm posting here. See, Mark is kind of a stereotypical nerd, in that he gets obsessed with new hobbies to the point where he forgoes basic hygiene. Thankfully, he's not at pissbottle level yet, but as of writing this it's been over a week since I last saw him shower. And even then I don't think he washed his hair. I should mention Mark has really long hair, which he hasn't cut in about 5 years. I usually love long hair on men, but right now his is disgusting. It's matted into a half-assed dred that stinks badly enough to leave a miasma after he's been in a room. It's made even worse by the fact that he's a smoker. I've tried to be sympathetic. He does have a stressful job and it can be hard to find time between work-sleep-relaxation, but it's gotten to the point where I can't even hug him without wanting to rech. I've tried bringing it up to him, but he just gets defensive and accuses me of nagging. He usually shuts me down by telling me to "mind my own business". He only does this when I mention personal hygiene. I love him unconditionally, but I'm not at all attracted to him like this. Our sex life has taken a major hit, since the smell is such a huge turn off. How should I approach this tactfully? I love him and want to be intimate again, but I don't know how to bring this up without him feeling attacked. TL;DR: Boyfriend is stinky and in denial. How do I convince him to wash more?

Sounds like their finances or not together at all, especially since after she gets a job she NOW can start saving up for things. She's got a real winner here.

See, here's the thing about money to people like this. more money is more winnerizing, at life. it's your score. so you got to keep that score as high as possible. it's like a jrpg where you have to end the game with 99 phoenix downs. it doesn't matter than Rikku has 4hp left and you have 97 superpotions before you even get to the second seymour boss fight. she doesn't deserve it because she'll eventually heal herself when you save or something . the score is more important than the suffering of your team. also, as you know, you get a huge bonus having 99 phoenix downs at the end (you don';t)

I remember once asking my dad, if he heard the guy who was best man at his wedding (who he hasn't seen in like 20 years), had some sort of horrible disease and needed money, and he'd already gotten the money from every other conceivable source, and ONLY my dad and my dad's charity was left, at what point he would no longer give any more money and let his friend die. If his friend came to him and begged for his life, with no promises of any future repayment etc. or renewed friendship (for the sake of the hypothetical), how much that would be. Y'all are free to take a guess what the number was. And I love my dad! I just think I should not get sick.

Is part of concealed carry ‘have the loving safety on’? or am I just making that up in my head. Some guns have safeties that are built in to the triggers and automatically disengage when the trigger is pulled straight back. The idea is that the gun won't go off on accident (being dropped, having a holster catch the edge of the trigger slightly, etc) but will always be ready to go bang when someone does the exact thing that they should only ever do when they want the gun to go bang. Without getting into the other details, Brent needs to get a holster with better retention and be more attentive about things, and both Brent and cousin's-daughter should lose houseguest privileges until they understand how appallingly they've screwed up (both in the incident and the aftermath). Let the cousin know why this is happening and let them sort it out from there. Cassius Belli fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Aug 26, 2018 |

Smirking_Serpent posted:(CA) Mother called wedding vendors and cancelled all our contracts/agreements. Any grounds to at least get the deposits back from vendors? I think they actually should have recourse against the vendors? The vendors shouldn't cancel anything unless and until contacted by the actual contracting parties. They should sue the mom too though, so if she ever does have money they'll get it because there will be an active judgement against her. (technically I am a lawyer but I'm actually just talking out my rear end here)

We don't plan on having kids barring some kind of terrible accident occurring with my wife's IUD, but honestly I am laughing pretty hard at the thought of being able to cancel their poo poo every so often just to keep them on their toes. Like, nothing big or anything but you better keep track of that gym membership if you come home after curfew, and if you think you're getting your next Blue Apron after declining sunday dinner... well, that's presumptuous of you...

And technically the 2 year old eas the one who committed a crime. Only way Brent would have committed a crime is if they live in an area with a safe storeage statute, and even then it might be iffy since it was physically on his person and not "stored". quote:Because the guy in the story fell asleep. He passed an exam to get a license to carry (unless he’s in a license free state) but accidents will still happen. Who hasn’t had something fall out of their pocket while sitting on a couch? It’s entirely plausible that if he was carrying in his waistband/pocket/inside belt holster this is what happened. The gun would have to be quite small to fall out unnoticed, be liftable by a 2 year old, and also have that 2 year old still be strong enough to pull the trigger. My phone falls out of my pocket into the couch cushions all the time, it’d be about that size.
