My favorite soda, Shio, was from the 90s, was only produced in Sweden and Norway as far as I know, and got the axe back in 2004.

It had no coloring, had less sugar than most soda (30% less was claimed) yet no artificial sweeteners, making it taste lighter and more tart. It came in three flavors here in Norway: Orange, blackcurrant and peach. Apparently there was an apple and lime one, but I never saw it in the wild. The peach one was amazing; there are some sour beers with artifical peach flavor that sort of remind me of it. I think Sweden also had a pear one.



The best current soda is probably Schweppes Bitter Lemon.

i like to grab a couple olipop sodas when i go to the fancy grocery store to get fancy groceries, and they're really tasty and have a whopping 9 GRAMS of fiber in each can. but they're also kinda expensive, like $2~3/can. best sodas i've ever had tho, so i'm fine with buying them as a lil treat.

admittedly they're kinda twee lookin, but i vibe with poo poo like that

Yeah it's hard to tell if the parents are actually terrible and that reaction is justified based on unsaid things, or if the wife is actively alienating OP from their family. The mentions of abuse, and all the estranged parent stories in the thread, would point to the former, but OP is so passive in the entire story, even when describing themself as angry that I don't know.

This discussion is reminding me of that time when I was a kid when my family had this container of chocolates from around the world. Most of them were fine or even delicious.

My hometown shared a school system with the town 10 miles away, and I could totally see something going on in Santa Fe an hour away for some collaborative reason or another. And if Mom was going out there she'd make a list of everything else to be done while out, so in a vacuum I wouldn't call that proof. But if we did that it'd be a situation where the whole family went and Dad kept us occupied while she was busy then we'd spend the rest of the day together.

Heck, maybe it was "the We Think We're Right Because We're Mothers Association is going to yell at the state Congress".

My wife’s boyfriend

quote:

So a little over 10 years ago my wife and I decided we would have an open marriage now where at the start this was fantastic for me and gave me the opportunity to get around to many things that I wasn’t able to in my younger years particularly interactions with young attractive women. I now find myself in a tricky predicament. I love my wife more than anything but we have found ourselves in a situation that is really only beneficial for her, recently my wife started seeing someone let’s just call him my wife’s boyfriend ant he’s moved in and I’ve been moved to the spare room. I’m finding it really difficult to manage our family, our kids and also my marriage. I feel like we said yes to each other too many times for too long and now we’re both just yes people however there’s not really much yes it for me just her. What should I do?

Yeah, that jumped out at me. "We can never trust my parents again because they were both going to babysit my kids, but my father couldn't go so my cousin went in his place and...helped my mom babysit my kids." Like, so what?

It would make sense to get mad if the cousin was a dangerously irresponsible person who OP doesn't want near his kids, but if so that would have been a pretty important detail to put in the story.

I'm a great fan! When I watch TV I'm always saying "That's political correctness gone mad!"
Why thankyew!


I'm (29F) realizing that I don't have a supportive husband (31M). I'm graduating with a bachelor's degree and making more money and he's NOT happy about it.

quote:

Okay so we've been married for 5 years, dating for 7. At the beginning of our relationship, I was doing prerequisites to get into a nursing program. I ended up going to a 2-year community college to get my associates and then started work as a nurse around the time we got married. My income went from about 40,000 a year working in a call center to about 60,000 a year working at a hospital, so it was a huge improvement. My husband, at the time, was happy for me.

Now to give a little background, he works in a trade, like plumbing or electricity or steel, something like that. So he makes good money, about 80,000 a year. He's always been the higher earner and did not need a degree to do his job. Which is amazing, I wish I didn't have to waste so long in school and pay so much money to do what I do.

With graduation coming up I've noticed him making snarky remarks like when I made a statement that I was excited to graduate he said "I don't know why, having a bachelor's is pretty much pointless anyway. I don't even see the need for it. You're already a nurse." So that kind of brought me down a little bit.

Also I've been discussing with him me going into more of a specialty at work. This would mean I make more money. My ideal job would be quite easy for me to get now with a bachelor's and it would put me between 90 to 100,000 a year. Ever since we've had this discussion he's been cold to me. He has said things like "Well are you sure you can do that job? It sounds hard. Maybe you should just stay where you're at." When I mentioned the hospital I want to work at is about 45 minutes away, all he could talk about was how difficult the commute would be and me getting stuck in snow storms on the way or something. He's just being a huge downer about it.

I also mentioned to someone recently that I was thinking about going back after I was done with my bachelor's to possibly get my masters in nursing education so I can teach nursing school someday. He was standing next to me when I said this, and he made a huge exasperated sigh and rolled his eyes.

I don't understand. He's always been happy and supportive of me but now I feel like I have overstepped an invisible boundary that I didn't know existed. I feel like since I make more money than him he's somehow taking it personally which is confusing because it's not like I'm spending a ton of money on myself. The money is going to go into our savings and go into our house and go towards us traveling. I've told him this, and it doesn't seem to make a difference.

I just don't know what to do or say to make him realize how hurtful he's being.

TL;DR husband is not excited that I'm going to be making more money than he is and is not supportive of my choice to pursue higher education. Don't know what to do.

Lmao your trade husband is gonna be begging you to risk your license for pain pills and driving up your family insurance premiums like loving crazy once his knees give out, all within a cool 10-15 years. Gtfo and shack up with a soft-bellied doctor, slam on some rock-hard orderlies, and laugh your rear end off on PTO like the rest of your hospital colleagues.

Yeah this is kind of horrifying because she is almost definitely cheating, but the alternative is even worse. She might actually be the kind of horrid hellmom that demands (and gets) a 9 hour PTA meeting.

I am a teacher. There are absolutely moms out there with zero lives of their own who make it their fulltime job to bother the loving teachers about inane and pointless bullshit. I have a mom in my class who calls EVERY DAY to offer suggestions about my lessons, sometimes calling DURING the lessons in case she has a particularly spicy take on how I said something wrong 10 seconds ago. She would be in orgasmic ecstasy at a 9 hour PTA meeting, so yeah, I suppose the wife is certainly getting off without him.

Q. Wish I’d never seen it:

quote:

I’ve always thought that my 16-year-old son Trevor was a pretty normal kid. Gets along well with his classmates, does alright in school, plays sports, and is generally a good guy. However, something that I witnessed yesterday has shaken my image of him.

I had just returned from work and needed to use the restroom, so I went to the closest restroom to the front door. This also happens to be the closest restroom to Trevor’s bedroom. The door was slightly ajar, and when I pushed it open, I saw Trevor on the toilet, masturbating with one hand and holding his iPad with the other. Already an awkward situation, but then I saw what was on the screen. It was, unmistakably, a Facebook photo of my wife at the beach in a bikini. I apologized and rushed out, and I’ve been thinking about this incident ever since.

I know that teens are horny, but it’s hard to look at my son the same way after I saw him jerking off to an image of his own mother. I haven’t spoken much to him since this and haven’t yet brought it up, let alone mentioned it to my wife. I don’t even know if I should, given how uncomfortable it might make both her and Trevor. How do I address this, and is it worth discussing with my wife?

Edit —- I’ve no idea why this blew up while I was sleeping. But thanks for the birthday wishes internet friends. It’s weird that it helps, but it does!

Edit 2 — I said PTA type meeting because I didn’t want to dox myself. I’m familiar with what she’s doing and the large group she was with. There is a new school campus being built in said city and they have day long steering meetings (and get a nice cafe lunch with the other mums provided, I should have skipped work for the meeting ha!)

Edit 3 (as I read the comments) — I understand leading with the sex thing is douchy. I just hate that I was ‘gifted’ what should be a normal part of a marriage.

Edit 4 - Just approached the topic with the wife. I’m not good at articulating these things so I wrote it down.

Her response was “is this going to make me feel worse? If so I don’t want to read it”

Edit 5 - So, I've got 150+ DMS, most of which are people sending their love. Once nice girl offering to send her boobs (lol!) and another offering to send a card I guess today wasn't so bad after all.

Guys, with 4.5k comments and 150+ dms there is no way I can reply to your birthday wishes, but I'm reading them and I appreciate you all!

My BF (39) puts a towel on his crotch when he sits to take a dump because he hates the smell of his own poop and then proceeds to hang it back on the door knob. Been together for 3 yrs. I (31F) confronted him about it but he Ignored my concerns


quote:

I found out one day cause I accidentally opened the door and I saw the traumatizing image in front of me. After he was done , because I do respect the pooping time, I approached him and told him what the heck did I just watch? Then he explained me the reason and I mean I get it but still told him that it’s disgusting that he hangs it back on the door knob because I’m sure the towel keeps some of the disgusting smell of his own number 2. He agreed and told me he was not going to do ever do that again because yes it’s gross. Today I opened the door by accident (I thought he was in the kitchen) and saw the traumatizing image again. I confronted him about it and now he completely changed his words and claims that it’s his towel and he can do whatever the heck he wants with his towel. Idk what to do, we only have one bathroom and idk how to approach this



I NEED to know if this is his bath towel, or if he has a separate poop towel. My money's on it being the same towel
