Some things in that story that are going unmentioned. The little girl broke an expensive computer that the neighbour liked, cared about and needed. The mum says she had never seen the neighbour so angry when she picked up her daughter. Yet, even so, the little girl felt welcome enough to go over by herself, knock on the door and invite herself in and ask to play with the neighbour's niece that they hadn't met. Drawing a pretty long bow here, but to me that means that mum has minimized the "breaking the computer" incident, (she also says that she broke other stuff), so Sam doesn't think/realize she did anything wrong. Or that she is so starved for attention/socialization/friends, that she would go back to the house of a grown up who must have previously yelled at her, just so she could maybe play with someone her own age. Also the use of the Dr. Seuss wording seems to me to be particularly personal and mean. Especially to a 9 year old. But even so, neighbour is a grown up, and whilst it might be a little rude to tell a little girl to her face that you don't like her, she is not the arsehole in this situation. Maybe with this free babysitting option gone, the mum will have to spend some time with, and deal with her disruptive daughter and get her the help she might potentially need.

Trust is an important part of a relationship." or something like that. Then call her a Fatty McBoombatty a week later.

AITA For refusing my husband’s dead fiancés engagement ring?quote:I (29f) will marry my (32m) fiancé in two weeks. We have known each other since we were young and dated on and off but only became serious 2 years ago after his high school sweethearts death. When we reconnected after her death I tried my best to be by his side and we ended up hooking up, I love him but I always felt a bit awkward in the relationship. In some ways I thought he wanted me to be like his dead wife, on multiple occasions calling me her name or being upset with me when I couldn’t live up to her skills (cooking, cleaning, taking care of their kids) but I just thought he needed more time to heal and get over it. When she died he kept her engagement ring, I didn’t think anything of it and just thought it was something to keep in her memory, well last week he offered the ring to me, he said he wanted to give me the ring cause his wife’s spirit told him “I was sent to him by her.” I declined and told him it made me uncomfortable, this ended up breaking out into a week long fight. He now thinks I’m an rear end in a top hat that doesn’t care for his feelings or the memory of his wife, I ended up bursting out telling him that he needs to move on with our life and not be so caught up in the past and trying to compare me to his dead wife. He ended up leaving last night and I haven’t heard from him since, I’m starting to feel like I was the rear end in a top hat in the situation but I still think I was in the right for some. We get married soon but I’m nervous he’ll call off the wedding, So AITA? Oh yah this is a healthy situation all around!

This is so weirdly specific that I for sure remember seeing it referenced multiple times but never saw that specific one. Grown dudes all jerking it in the same room but desperately insisting it was some totally not gay tradition has come up more then once.

AITA for pointing out my wife’s stretch marks when she pointed out my beer gut?quote:She can’t seem to move past it, and it’s because her attitude towards it. I said I’m sorry, she did too; but isn’t content with my response by how she’s acting towards me. She said I was getting a beer gut. I’ve been going out more because I’m stressed, so I meet up with my buddies. I pointed out her stretch marks. She said I’m mean because it is “natural.” And she has it’s because she had “your kids.” She’s still upset with me, and I don’t see how she can move past this like I have. While not an ideal response, am I the rear end in a top hat for returning the favor?

All the commenters are pointing out that his wife is very likely pissed about his spending evenings away partying with his buds, and the beer belly is a red herring.

AITA for making my chronically late friend miss her seminar?quote:My friend [25F] is constantly late for everything. Be it work-related or fun activities, she will always be at least 15-20 minute late. She does not have a car, and so oftentimes I [25M] will pick her up from her house (I work at a university and she is a PhD student there, and her place is along the way for me). I feel a little bad on this one, but at the same time, good luck getting through your PhD if your chronic lateness is persistent enough that you can't even get to your own seminar because you've pissed off the folks around you.

Supposedly you can boil them repeatedly, outdoors, while wearing a respirator, to remove the jet fuel to make them edible. But the boiling fumes can destroy your lungs and/or eyes.

I always figured there must be people going out and eating those purely based on hearsay about morels, because they could both fit under the very loosest description of what a morel looks like but yeah, you would never confuse them if you saw them both.

If you have a local Asian grocery store you might be worth checking out their produce section, way cheaper than the regular grocery store.

elise the great posted:Lmao gyromitra esculenta Swede here. This mushroom was classified as top tier delicious here until sort of recently when it was discovered that neither boiling in several changes of water nor drying out and then cooking it would remove all of the toxin. Every time you have it, your kidneys take permanent (but small) damage. It was reclassified as toxic. Ironcally, esculenta, is Latin for edible. There are some wild mushrooms that are easy to find and identify, do not have toxic doppelgangers, and are actually tasty. Around here, all chanterelles are good beginner’s mushrooms.

Captain Hygiene posted:AITA for making my chronically late friend miss her seminar? Getting yourself to where you need to be on time is a skill every human should have developed in high school, if not sooner. Whether it's owning a car and planning for traffic and maintenance, using public transportation and dealing with its schedule, riding a bicycle etc and handling the weather, or relying on friends and not pissing them off, every method has some concessions you need to make. If late lady still hasn't figured this out in tertiary education, now's the time to learn. In this case rather than crying to the friend she stood up, she could have just called an Uber and been on time for the seminar, so NTA. 3D Megadoodoo posted:I remember reading an article some years back that said dozens of people get poisoned by mushrooms in Finland every year, and they're almost always foreign people who have picked them themselves. "This looks like the edible mushroom we have back home, thousands of kilometres away" is evidently a very dangerous thought. Most of the mushroom poisonings in the USA are this situation too. A lethal mushroom that grows in California and the PNW looks very similar to a common edible mushroom found all over southeast Asia. A few years ago there was some news from the Stanford hospital that an entire family had died after consuming a soup made from these mushrooms, except for the infant who was too young to eat it. Real bummer. e: apparently these are they: one is the edible paddy straw mushroom, while the other is the "death cap" amanita.  they were found like that in nature, growing three inches apart.
