Wasn't interested in humans, had an exploded tear duct and a cone, walked with a waddle, didn't like human contact, plus we were going overseas for a Europe trip for 8 weeks. There was no way we could adopt him. My family didn't even like him, and I was 15 at the time, in absolutely no position to get this dog.

Took him 3 years to lean against me and go on my bed.

I knew he was mine from the day I saw him.

7 years later, he's curled up on my bed after following me down to the kitchen twice tonight.

Ask me anything.

EDIT: I’m on the balcony in a storm rn and he’s just nudged the blind sliding door open to stare at me through the gap. I love him so much.

EDIT 2: Here's a link to a post with three photos of him!

EDIT 3: Having way too much fun answering these! Here's a few hints about things that haven't come up:

-He HATES being picked up. He also has a way to ask for it when he decides he needs help.
-My family's relationship to him now (Only my younger brother likes him)
-What prompted that first time he asked to come on the bed and stay there...

Ask away and I’ll answer.

I’m old school I cover both inpatient and outpatient + stroke call. General neurology practicing in the South.

Lived in 3+ states. Enthusiastic about medicine and think is good but can be better.

Ask me anything.

So my (17f) parents disowned all of their children 4 years ago when I was 13. They paid us money to not involve ourselves with them whatsoever.

My parents have 6 children, 22M, 20F, 18M, 17F & 17F (twin girls), and 16F. They were psychologically and emotionally abusive. Never physically though. They were neglectful although it never appeared that way. Essentially they have extremely radical conservative, like Neo-Nazi views, and are very wealthy. I didn’t know this as a child because we had nanny’s and raised eachother. My parents didn’t even really talk to the Nannies much. I played sports and went on trips they would send us on with the Nanny or through programs. We went to sleep away camp every summer, all summer, starting when we were 8.

Basically about 4 years ago or so, my sister started dating a boy who was black. My parents found out and flipped out. That was the first real red flag, but we had already noticed for a while that they didn’t parent right. Then my brother found out somehow that my dad worked in academic fraud. My mom also does spicy work. Over the course of a year they got more and more angry with us about not being conservative and anything they thought of as “leftist”. My older siblings started getting in fights about their beliefs with them and we refused to stop talking to our fruity cousin. They knew that my brother knew “too much” about how they made money and so one day they basically sat us down and basically told us if we were going to be “defiant” we were going to live on our own and that they didn’t want to be involved with us. They originally were going to let us 3 youngest stay with them with super strict rules including no talking to the older 3, but we all refused and talked them down to let us pick the boarding school and we all went.

My twin and younger sis and I had to go to a different school since we weren’t in high school and then transferred to the school our older siblings went to. We are all pretty close and now the older 2 go to college. We can talk to my parents through a mediator they hired, only for guardian stuff. They have given us plenty of money and it’s in a trust. Honestly, this was the best case scenario to me because the foster care system is extremely messed up and I am glad we never had to report or blackmail them. They have told us many times they hate who we have become and that they wish they didn’t have kids. They are basically paying hush money.

I’m doing great and the school staff here is so supportive. I have my siblings as family, and I have a therapist.

I was human trafficked by my mom when I was 16 in the US specifically in Florida. She went to prison for 7 years.

So ask me anything that you are curious about even if it’s grave detail and are absolutely terrified to ask!

Great Books of the Western World is a collection of the most impactful books that have shaped civilization. It has works in history, literature, science, philosophy, and religion.

This started out as a bit of curiosity, and I thought a lot of these would be very difficult, but I've found them surprisingly accessible.

be polite or be ignored, I will be an open book as long as you aren’t an obvious troll. 33F from the southern US. I also have older parents and a very large age gap with my siblings. I’m a wife and mother myself now also!

Flight cancelled yesterday, rented "the last car" in Las Vegas to drive home but that was a lie. Booked a new flight home, been at the airport for six hours now. It keeps getting delayed.

Very tired and dehydrated here!

Right now sitting in a Mexican restaurant close to the gate that insisted I use a QR code for the menu, but of course the QR directed me to a snack stand. The waiter (who seems like a nice person), finally found me a menu. It's faded to the point of being almost unreadable. Whatever, I'm starving.

Ask me anything or please voice words of support.

Update: I’ve left the restaurant and I’m now sitting on a cozy chair at the shoeshine station. Also, speaking of shoes, I’m wearing silver boots and TSA needed me take them off because they were upsetting the sensors.

Also, also, I began this AMA on my computer but since I’ve moved from the restaurant, I’ve downloaded the Reddit app. I haven’t used it before, so, please excuse any typos.

Also, also, also, my daughter volunteered to drive to Las Vegas to rescue me. I declined but so sweet. I <3 her so very much.

I [23F] worked as a club/party promoter in the Greek city Hersonissos.

To put it briefly: Hersonissos is a town on the Greek island of Crete. The island is well-known for its nightlife. Young adults and teenagers come to this island specifically to enjoy some great partying.

My job involved selling entrance tickets. During the day, I would approach as many potential partygoers as I could.

Feel free to ask me anything about my experience on the job, awkward moments, bizarre situations, strange customers and guests, colleagues, alcohol consumption, and the nightlife scene itself.

Maybe it’s not the most unique job, but I definitely experienced interesting things.

Little about me, i grew up in the south. Tried going to community college there, wound up having to take a semester off after finishing pre recs, since the program I was trying to get into didn’t start yet. So I couldn’t stay in the dorms, anywho, I went to try and stay with my mom, who was staying with some guy? Idk his name anymore, but the place didn’t have AC, and was just NOT it. “Not trying to live in a crackhouse” tried staying with my brother, slept on his couch for a week, he and his gf at the time who was my moms age btw, fought CONSTANTLY. Like full on screaming matches, like our parents used to do. “Keep in mind both of them were actively using meth at the time, no idea if they are now” decided I couldn’t stay there, so I got a hotel room, and paid for a week. Moved out of my brothers place while he was gone, next day he showed up to my work and said if I didn’t pay him he’d beat my ass, said I had no soul, and basically just said I was a good for nothing piece of shit. So, I looked online for places that paid the most for CNAs with a low cost of living, “I was a CNA, and worked at a metro t mobile place while in the south, had 2 jobs at the time” and landed on Arizona, so I packed my shit, started applying like crazy to hospitals in Arizona, when I landed a job, I drove out there, got into Tucson on my 20th birthday with nothing but my car, some clothes, and everything I could fit in my car. Found a place on fb marketplace for 850 a month, stayed there for a while, found the love of my life after abt a year or so, landlord wouldn’t let her move in and tried to raise my rent to 1350 for her visiting so much, so I found an apartment, moved into it with her, stayed there for abt a year before the AC went out in our unit and had to leave since it was like 100F in there, stayed with her mom for a month while I was putting together the money for a down payment on a new manufactured home, signed the papers, bought a 2026 3 bed 2 bath 1050 sqrft home for us, started surgical tech school, currently graduating in March.

I've been the backup friend in my friend group for a while, I don't enjoy it but it isn't horrible. Some things I'm used for is venting, asking advice, etc. I'm also kinda the therapist friend but as a backup nobody ask about or talks to me unless they need me. So ask me anything.

I'm currently a 15 year old highschool senior and would love to answer your questions! You can ask me about life in Nepal, our education system, school culture, academics, extracurricular activities, traditions, my personal experiences, or even my opinions on random topics. I'm open to pretty much anything, so feel free to ask away.

I'll try my best to answer honestly and give you an insight into life as a teenager in Nepal!

I've struggled with my relationship to food and my body for years. This weight gain was not intentional. I'm currently on a weight-loss journey, hoping to return to a healthy weight.

I'm 5'7" (174cm) and 22 years old.

I got into plants 9 months ago, and now own more than 90 (including propagations) and am seeking work as an indoor plant technician or nursery worker, so fitness so I can accomplish my dream job is a current goal of mine.

I also want to play futsal again. I used to be a decent goalkeeper who played yearly at regionals.

Ask me anything!

I was born right-handed, but 9 years ago I started practicing writing with my left hand. I didn’t realize I would end up completely switching, and learned to do all things from simply writing print, cursive, and backwards, but to also cooking, throwing a frisbee, using chopsticks, texting and phone use, etc. I’ve tried to master everything I could think of with my opposite hand to the same ability is my right hand, and was surprised to notice new things that I didn’t even think of had a particularly side, like holding a deck of cards, or eating a taco. I have been exclusively left handed for what a believe to be at least 4 years or more now. I find it intriguing knowing that I fit in a very rare demographic, of a right hander developing equal use in their left hand.

Hello there! I am Lithuanian citizen, speaking in 3 languages (Lithuanian, English, Russian) freely, learning German and Chinese, and with my language group, I can understand many eastern european/balkan languages. Ask me anything :)

I have always been attracted to crime and criminals since I was a teenager. I am a 25M and like other men who are in prison. I write some inmates via different pen pal services. Even my boyfriend is a felon who’s on parole. AMA

I am 23F, a woman's health advocate and public health professional. I just had my second robotic assisted laparoscopy for the excision of my endometriosis. I progressed from stage 1 to stage 2 and have deep infiltrating endometriosis, DIE (what a horrible acronym). Ask Me Anything!

Also it’s Friday the 13th. My coworkers are stranded in the state we left from and a few of us are currently in the sky with no idea what’s happening. We were the ones that informed the pilots and flight crew of the outage - they still haven’t been communicated with by anyone.

Edit: I probably should use the bathroom before those shut off.

Edit 2: I peed.

Edit 3: Touched down! Shout out to “Anthony’s” (fellow passenger) brother in air traffic control for clearing our gate so we can all get home tonight!

Growing up in Boston, I always felt like the black sheep. I’ve lived in Hawaii for 9 years now and am so happy. Life of course is not perfect here in our pacific paradise but the challenges are worth it. Ask me anything.

Went to brunch with my mum and her friends and realised that either they have no children or, if they do, their children are all still very young. It made me realise just how unusual her whole life has been.

Currently, I have 1,674 hours logged into the game on Steam, with an estimated undocumented 1,000 on the console edition.

My modding is minimal, with basic Quality-of-life mods such as Kerbal Engineering Redux and Transfer Window planner, and the planet packs Outer Planets Mod and Kcalbeloh.

I have no overhaul mods, no graphics mods, nor parts mods, all parts are 100% stock.

I am a UMC (United Methodist) Pastor (Do not agree with every doctrine of UMC) but love it nonetheless. I can answer questions about the UMC, Duke Div, or Wesleyan Theology. Before becoming a UMC pastor I studied in depth and tried many different Christian denominations and Catholicism before settling where I am now. AMA

Hi, I’m Nour. I’ve done a couple of AMAs before where I shared my background and answered a lot of questions. I’ve linked them below. If you want to hear the backstory, you can read those first.

ARFID is an eating disorder by a severe restriction of food intake based on sensory issues, lack of interest in eating, or fear of aversive consequences. Certain foods can make me feel overwhelming disgust or anxiety because of their taste, texture, smell, or appearance. It’s not about wanting to lose weight or me being purposely picky. My brain simply rejects many foods.

as a kid, eating was very stressful. Family meals, school, and restaurants could be stressing because my list of safe foods has always been limited or switched up. I’ve had people assume I was spoiled, stubborn, a brat, or just refusing to try new things, when in reality I genuinely could not eat it.

Most people don’t know what ARFID is, so some just about every comment say from “just try it” to “you’re too old for this.”

feel free to ask me anything.
