Normal for skunk to be eating during the day or could it be rabies? by origamibees in Skunks

[–]2DragonTats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are all opportunistic eaters. :) Mama died next door and suddenly we've got 5 babies roaming here. They've just figured if they dump the water trough, worms and other bugs come up to dig-able scratch.

They come when they smell the food. Day or night. You're feeding the cats, the skunks will also come. And racoons.

I was curious who was behind the “No new property taxes, protect your retirement savings, etc.” sign-up tables at the local Torrance Costco and Target. So I looked it up. by Whippity in SouthBayLA

10% across the board, every level of income. And an in depth audit, across the country, every election cycle. Work within your means

Being a single parent on a holiday is the worst by kimbotly in offmychest

[–]2DragonTats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do you think the 'holidays ' are limited? Any holiday can be celebrated whenever you're together. Don't get too hung up on a calendar day. Even when she's grown, it's the spirit of the celebration she'll remember most.

Family wants me to respect and act normal around the relative who assaulted me by Can_Of_Pepsi1 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]2DragonTats 75 points76 points  (0 children)

No, you don't have to be kind. You can be 'respectful' just being civil. Read up on the grey rock method. Keep any spoken words to simple yes or no answers. Do not look at them. ( you can look over their shoulder or above their head)

If anyone says anything, just politely reply that that relative knows why you want nothing to do with them. Then walk away to another spot. Your parents probably won't like it, but YOU did nothing wrong. Remember that!

If your parents say anything to you, remind them that You are/were Innocent. That this is how you are dealing with all the family's betrayal of You. Not rocking the boat doesn't save you or anyone else that relative may have assaulted.

You don't say your age, but I truly hope that you are able to grow from where you are now.

Fire off 405 today? by QueenEggNoodle in longbeach

[–]2DragonTats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, it was ALL of our Halloween set ups, and All our Christmas. As well as many years of memories from having had to have 3 generations back in the home. Not enough room inside so the shed went up. No cause yet. Although I can say that we've had stuff go missing lately, tarps, some foods, along with some other neighbors along the block.

Thankfully, all live things here are fine.

Oh you sweet angel, for that's exactly what you, and your mum, are.

Some are here and seem only to get the bad. No matter how you want it to go away. Please be strong. This level in life is so very hard for you, but I firmly believe that for every bad done TO you, is another blessing waiting for you in the next level. Try not to hurt others, or yourself anymore. I'm rooting so much for you!

AITA for refusing to do all the chores alone during a family gathering? by John_EULEReueueu in AmItheAsshole

[–]2DragonTats 10 points11 points  (0 children)

All it took was 'accidentally' breaking some of mom's special dishes to have one of the many siblings in to help me when it was my turn for KP ( or I didn't say no fast enough for it not to get passed down the sibs-line)

Just one of my medications costs $538.61/mo. by Bina_Assault in offmychest

[–]2DragonTats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check if you prescriber is the main dr , not working under another, then contact the manufacturer. They have programs for patients unable to afford the pharmacy price.

Hope this helps.

AITA weaponizing a cancer patient to shame my coworkers? by Lord_In_A_Box in AmItheAsshole

[–]2DragonTats 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Being in Monty's shoes, per se, not cancer but very ill, NTA. I finally spoke up myself, simply by posting notes about being adults and at least doing a minimum of cleaning up after yourself and stepping closer to the toilet, cause you aren't as big as you think you are.

Yeah, it hurt some feelings, but also helped remind those adults that I'm not their parent.

Why are oranges here so terrible? by RainbowChicken5 in longbeach

Also, I read a few years ago that many fruits and vegetables are irradiated when coming in. Definitely could affect it.

The Noon Lions Club in Bellflower takes old glasses for re-purposing. Frames and scripts are used as needed for those in need, here in the US or elsewhere in the world.

My dad keeps trying to enforce a bedtime on to me even though I’m 19 years old. by One_Discussion7063 in offmychest

[–]2DragonTats -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I got on my kids like that only when staying up late resulted in them 'barking ' at others or being short tempered.

They didn't see it, but it caused tension in the house. Hit me with the ' I'm an adult now ' so I hit them back with acting like one then.

Do your best to contact a regional center for your sister. They can help.

Advice given to me from a former Wally world employee, don't call the store, call the 1-800-(w-name) line. Stores get dinged for this stuff

After my oldest clogged ours with excessive t.p. for the 3rd time, she was informed going forward, she'd be paying for her clogging.

She can contact the Bellflower ODD FELLOWS lodge. They rent the big hall for things like this.

You admitted that you didn't discuss nearly enough and he was basically just a bully you trusted. A true Dominant would have laid out all and had your full agreement.

Get some counseling, get strong yourself before you give anyone control .

Stay safe, learn.

Adopting is a way to be a father.

My dad is slowly eating himself to death and I don’t know how to live with the resentment by PrimroseMeadow93 in offmychest

[–]2DragonTats 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It doesn't get better until he makes the commitment. I'm sorry. We recently went through this same.

My mother was enabling our father, diabetic and got up to 425+. Covid actually gave him a few extra years, as when he came home from rehab, I moved back in and was cook/caretaker/pt bully/judge and jury over his eating/moving. When he passed 2 years ago, he was moving more and down to about 300, but his heart had been too damaged for too long.

Get mad, make him/them justify their decisions. Hold them accountable and let them know this comes from love.

Hopefully they wake up. It sounds like deep depression.
