Mom and Dad asked us what we wanted of theirs "so we could have the quarrels now, while we're still alive". I wanted this (image isn't ours) and am paying probably as much as it's worth to ship it across country. My own style can be described as "weirdo eclectic", meaning that I've got elaborate Victorian stuff and a couple of my parents' pieces and stuff that came with the house and one hand-carved Arts & Crafts chair.

“Scandinavian” in terms of what you supposedly see on IG and commercials just means “boring wood thing with rugs and scarves thrown over it, also lots of hanging plants for reasons”.

Fellas, if the collection of composite right angles that scaffold your nerd hovel don't fit the decor and she's giving you the out of "here's a room for your stuff," take the room. This isn't complicated.

teen witch posted:The upside of it is is thrifting here is amazing. Yes please keep donating your grampy’s well taken care of mid century pieces and solid wood furniture older than my mom. I have some wacky things that I’d never find in the US here and getting it second hand is the cherry on top. I moved to a place with a poo poo ton of antique malls/stores/collectors etc and have been replacing my lovely decade-old IKEA stuff with awesome 2nd hand vintage/antique furniture for a fraction of the price. It rules. It blew my mind when I found out some older European furniture was built to be dismantled and reassembled?? My Victorian sofa breaks down into 5 pieces and is so loving easy to move.

WARNING : story by someone with a terminal inability to get to the point. I bravely waded through to bold the actual story buried in the middle of it all. Stray off the bold parts at your own risk. my office Secret Santa gave me a gift from a pornstar quote:I’m a mid-level employee on a team of about 20 within a larger organization. I started in 2019, though we’ve all been remote since March 2020. We’ve had pretty little turnover since then, so apart from a few newer folks, I’ve met everyone on the team in person and have good rapport with them. I’d characterize my relationship with my entire team as friendly but reserved: I don’t have any enemies and can make nice conversation with any of them, but also don’t have any super-close work friends (this is the level of boundaries I prefer at work).

Potential solution: see who organized the secret Santa. Ask them, “who was my Santa? I wanted to thank them.” Approach from there.

AITA for yelling at a guy for telling me to breastfeed somewhere else???quote:I (20f) have an 11 month old daughter who still breastfeeds. recently, we were out eating at a restaurant and she was being super fussy and cranky bc she fell asleep in the car and she’s also teething really badly. for the past week and a half, her sleep schedule has been awful bc her mouth hurts and i’m overwhelmed and super sleep deprived. i’ve been trying to wean her off of breast milk but for today, i was tired of listening to her whine so i put my cover over myself and breastfed her while trying to finish eating my food so we could go home.

Maybe it's her husband's favorite porn star and somehow they computer illiterately made that preference appear on the OP's amazon wish list or twitter follows or something? I think that's the funniest explanation and therefore it is now my belief.

If I, a straight, middle aged, single white man got sent a video of a porn star doing literally anything from an anonymous co-worker, I would instantly be contacting my boss and HR. I cannot imagine it being much cooler if it is going to a married woman.

That's all I got The Ask A Manager writer speculated that it may have been one of the performers that has a name referencing a mainstream celebrity, and thought it was the actual celeb. "Celebrity name with one extra "e" or other slight difference in spelling" is a common way to make a stage name.

I got a comedy sex book from work secret Santa once, and I have my suspicions who it was from - because there was a gay bloke on the team who kept loudly talking about liking to park next to me (my little car versus his big Dodge) kept asking me to come round his house, & invited me to go out to a drag show with him. (I am a 40 yo prudish spinster lady). It was all very odd but because he was gay, all my TL was willing to do was move my seat.

AITA for selling the piano that was meant for my sister?quote:Some context: My parents usually buy presents in late November, to avoid people. They usually make me (17F) buy the presents with them or alone. This year, however, they only made me buy them and my older's sister present and not the middle one. My parents don't really like me, but they usually buy my presents Paging Marge Simpson...

My wife told a guy to go eat his lunch in the loving bathroom after he came up to her and told her she should move to the bathroom to do it. He then turned to me and essentially asked me to control my wife at which point I told him to go gently caress himself. Anyone that gives a woman poo poo for breastfeeding is subhuman scum

From the post it also mentioned she was wearing clothing that wasn't sexy or whatever so it might have been a mistake or someone thinking sex work is more nornalized than it is? She really needs to find out who sent it and by their reaction to it judge whether it was malicious. Edit: Talking about Secret Santa, not the woman breastfeeding that rightfully told the dude to eat where he shits.

Do they have a Scrooge McDuck room in their house? Also if you're 20 and your concert pianist career is still in the "dream" stage you might want to, uh, reassess.

In this day and age, professional musicians often practice with expensive (weighted keys, that sort of thing) electronic keyboards, because you have to be very rich to have an apartment that will hold a serious piano, plus tuning costs, plus of course the piano.
