I have never had pain from my wisdom teeth. Fallom posted:Hmm I wonder why the school and DCFS don't like him...

Am I The rear end in a top hat for getting upset at my friend for having a seizure? The title alone makes me sound like a complete rear end in a top hat, but please read first. This incident happened two years ago, but my friend still brings it up and even mentioned it yesterday. He says I'm in the wrong for being upset with him but I feel completely justified about feeling the way I did. Just wanted some outside perspective. First of all I know people can't control seizures. I don't care being around people when they have them, and I've been around this friend when he's gone through many. He used to have around three a day, but would also have periods where he wouldn't have any. Some would be big, some would be very small and pass quickly. Either way, I'd still do stuff with him and go places with him despite knowing things could end poorly and I would have to get him to the hospital. I'm a 120lb girl and he was around 300lbs at the time, so it always made me a little worried because I couldn't move him or hold him back when he would uncontrollably do things. One day he asks me if I'd like to go to the lake with him. I was a little worried about it cause water and the lake was about 30 minutes from town, but I said yea. He told me to bring my inflatable bed out with me because he wanted to float out in the middle of the lake with me, which is something I used to always do with my best friend. I talked about it enough and he wanted to do it with me. I told him going out into the middle of the lake wasn't a good idea because if he had a seizure I couldn't pull him to shore or even keep him above water. He would drown. He kept saying nothing would happen and that he can tell if a seizure is going to come at least 15 minutes beforehand. He said he gets feelings and warning signs and he would warn me. But he said days when he has seizures he also wakes up and knows if he'll have one at some point. He said he woke up this day and was just positive he wouldn't have one. I was still iffy about this, but I didn't want to control him and act like his mom so I brought my inflatable bed with me to take out on the water. I wasn't planning on going out very far because if he did warn me of one I wanted to be able to get in shore in a minutes time. Five minutes after we get to the beach and get the inflatable bed ready, he falls into a seizure as if someone just hit a light switch. He fell to the ground, started foaming from the mouth, starting choking, then started rolling around on the beach. I couldn't do anything. He kept trying to get up, would fall, and try to run towards the water. He was completely in another state and I'm too small to do loving anything. Everyone is just sitting around me like nothing is happening but my friend looks like hes dying and he keeps trying to run away from me and I have no control. I was so scared he'd run right into the water and drown. There was no warning sign like he said. He told me he would be able to warn me. He said he knew for a fact he wouldn't have one that day. I felt so upset because he had to lie to me about these things. He didn't just say "well it could happen". He had to lie to me about how his seizures work just so I wouldn't try to stop him from doing something stupid. I just kept thinking about how if the seizure had waited awhile to kick in he could have died. The next day I expressed how upset I was about what happened and his response was just "it's not my fault". Yea it's not his fault he has seizures, but he could at least not LIE to me and put our lives in danger. That's the most scared I've ever been in my life and I've been through many of his seizures. He's never ever said sorry for lying and I think he owes me an apology rather than "not my fault" AITA?

Am I The rear end in a top hat for breaking up with my gf because I don't like her way of dressing? I have been together with my gf for over a year. Overall, she's a nice person and I don't wish any bad on her at all. For the past 2 months, my gf has been starting to go out more frequently with her (female) friends. It would be a "girls night" so I never got to tag along. I never had an issue with it since she had been doing that since we met, but she also started to dress a lot more differently. She went from modest clothing to more revealing stuff. It first started with an extra deep cleavage, short thight jeans etc. I told her this made me uncomfortable but she started getting defensive, accused me of not trusting her, telling me "a bit of skin" (that was more then a bit imo) is alright and that I have no right to object against her way of clothing. A week or something later, she went more daring as in her underwear visible, sideboob etc. At that point I told her I'm not going to force her to change, she has indeed the right to chose her clothings. But I also have the right to choose. I told her I wouldn't want to be in a relationship with someone wearing that publicly. She got mad at first, then started crying as I left and later got hateful messages of her friends that I was too controling. (I believe I gave her all the freedom I could at this point since it wasn't my business anymore) Tl;Dr. Gf wears more revealing clothing with sideboob, see through skirts etc. As I don't want to force her to change, but neither want to be with someone who dresses like that, I broke up with her. Am I the rear end in a top hat?

Am I The rear end in a top hat for accidentally making my daughter believe her uncle's brightly colored vegan cake was Play-doh and causing the entire family to do arts and crafts with it instead of eating it? At a family Christmas brunch my brother had done his absolute best preparing a vegan dessert for the family. He made a bright-green mung bean cake. I couldn’t help it… it just… looked like Play-doh to me. It kinda smelled like Play-doh, too. Don’t know about the flavor, but yeah, the whole texture and shape of it… Now I’ve always given my brother a hard time about his veganism. Lately I have been cool with his dietary choices. Respected them. But there he came to the table, beaming with pride at his creation, and my four-year-old daughter innocently asked… “Papa, what is that?” and I just, blurted out… “It’s Play-doh, baby!” So, my daughter, quite enthusiastically, started rolling a snake out of her dessert. She also offered our youngest some “clay to play with”, which she did, equally enthusiastically. Soon my father and mother and all of us joined in on the fun, using my brother’s dessert as a toy. We made snakes out of it, lions, snails… the whole family was just doing arts and crafts with my brother’s dessert. He wasn’t too amused and it kinda ruined our brunches’ vegan addition entirely. Feel a little guilty over how much fun I had making fun of my brother's vegan cake. TL;DR: I convinced my daughter the vegan food of her uncle was Play-doh and the whole family just played arts and crafts with it at the dinner table instead of eating what he prepared for us.

Nobody will ever admit it, but this dude is a family hero. Even if it doesn't taste like Play-doh, it has the same texture. Case closed.

I still don't understand "won't share food right guy" and how they manage to order 3 mains at a Chinese place when all she seems to want is noodles instead of rice. Like sure they'd probably charge a few extra dollars but what kind of poo poo restaurant won't sub in some noodles? Now coleslaw is a tricky beast and I'd be pissed if my bf wanted half my mac n cheese if the place had lovely coleslaw.

Mill Town posted:I don't really know much about seizure disorders but is it normal or even possible to get up and run away in the middle of a seizure? If it was a focal seizure, which can just affect mood, but that's not what people usually refer to when using the term 'seizure' casually. That almost always refers to a generalized seizure, which would make running either impracticality difficult or impossible, depending on the type. In this case, he might have had a combination of both types. It's fairly common to see them both, usually focal then general. Mr. Lobe fucked around with this message at 13:20 on Jan 3, 2019 |

Mill Town posted:I don't really know much about seizure disorders but is it normal or even possible to get up and run away in the middle of a seizure? Yeah, depending on the type, although it can be difficult to tell whether the running is occurring during the seizure itself or as part of the postictal delirium. I have a client who will either try to murder me or gently caress me in that state (and he switches from english to italian for extra comedy points). Fortunately he is wheelchair bound so it is generally easy to get away.

Fallom posted:I have zero respect for the "tradition" of asking permission to marry someone like they're loving property but it's hardly something worth nuking a relationship over. You bridge the gap by doing it and forgetting about it. I got around this with my Waifu by not so much asking her parents for permission, as I was stating my intention on what I was going to do. Blessing is optional. I think it was worth it though. It wasn't about their approval, it was about including them on a major life change. I had the same conversation with her best friend for the same reason. She's not their property, but she's not mine either, and it sent the message that I had no intention of taking her away and wanted them to stay in her life. If nothing else, it made my relationship with my inlaws better, which makes my relationship with my waifu better. e: reading it again though, that's what the guy's trying to do and his gf is saying no. I'm totally on the dude's side on this. I also think he should just suck it up and do it anyway because it's not a hill worth dying on.

I think he's kind of an rear end in a top hat for leaving a year+ relationship that quickly/without trying to talk to her about it, but if it's that big of a deal to him then they're just not compatible so it's for the best anyways.

And he did. Good for him! What's the alternative? That they just have stupid fights about it every month until they get sick of each other? At this point even if he got over the obvious trust issues, it would still be a disrespect issue.

Absolutely right about the medical tourism for dental. If your dentist bill is going to be a few K, go to almost anywhere in LatAm and get it for half or less. After airfare and accommodations you will either be at the same amount but get a vacation out of it, or possibly even less.
