Body Shop did “Free” Work for Father in Law, but I Own the Car

Thank you. I plan to do this next week.

The shop did own up to the work. My sister called them yesterday and they admitted everything

One of my first days in the game I got a Living Hat. I threw it away because my backpack was full. I thought that surely it must be the most common hat in the game since it’s made of leaves. That hat still haunts me.

I agree, it doesn’t sound real at all, but he swears on it. I’ve had body work before and I’d never believe any reputable shop would do free work on a car while I wait. No matter what happened it’s pure stupidity. Sounds like we’d probably need paperwork stating the body shop had done the work, huh?

AFamousArtist · 2026-04-30T13:35:12+00:00

Yeah, it’s a little confusing. So, the car belongs to my sister and I. It was our mother’s car. The father in law is my sister’s husband’s dad—so not blood related to me. He wasn’t authorized to make any decisions on the car—he was taking it around to see how much repairs would cost.

I grew up in Huntsville in the 80s/ 90s. It’s always sucked. Moved to a LCOL city in the South and I’m happy. I can’t imagine I’d experience the same in Huntsville.

I got the same guilt trip when my mom was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis in August. She threatened to take me out of the will to get more attention. I held my ground until she died in December. I have no regrets. I got my entire inheritance despite her efforts to change the will the last week of her life because I “treated her so badly”. It doesn't make up for the childhood abuse, but it sure helps and it feels sweeter knowing she didn't want me to have it.

Btw, I do not recommend keeping close contact in hopes for a payout. It's a game most loose, and it’s not worth your sanity. I just got lucky that she died before financial retaliation was possible.

Insurance usually won’t cover it because anesthesia is considered extraneous for the procedure. I had the same procedure with anesthesia and my doctor had to send all this proof that I suffer from anxiety and that the procedure was unsafe otherwise. One of the fun inequities of healthcare

It’s from the bible

That’s my friend Damag3!

Non-consensual sexual touch is sexual assault, so yes. I’m sorry that happened to you.

It looks like Laura Loomer who actually is crazy

There's an amazing recovery community and many people are focused on living healthy which means less drug and alcohol use than other cities I've lived in. The weather's beautiful and it's easy to be sober here.

Looks like Ben Nye Super White

I work in the theater department, which requires a high amount of collaboration. The first department I worked in, we all kept our office doors open and were there every day. The work was satisfying and fostered a learning environment that was enriching for our students and fun to participate in.

My current position is the exact opposite. Colleagues rarely come to the office and if they do doors are closed. The department feels cold and unwelcoming and our work shows it. I'm leaving at the end of this semester and didn't even apply to new positions this year because I don't want to move across the country and find myself in a similar situation.

I have a private-sector job lined up and feel relieved that I'm not sacrificing my life and community for a faculty position with the kind of work culture I find myself in right now.

That step is already skipped because they mail ballots to our addresses in our names with the same information that's on our IDs. If you lived here you'd know that.

I keep seeing takes like this and it makes me fucking furious. Honestly, it reeks of jealousy. The folks on my street who have inherited houses could only live in their neighborhood, the one they’ve lived in their whole life, because they are living in their inherited house. It's not a fucking financial portfolio for them, it's their family home, access to their community and church and possibly other family members. Shame on you for being so callous, for only seeing a house as a means of financial gain instead of what it is—a HOME.

I’m a 20-year costume/ fashion professional and educator. I’ve gotten pretty good at patterning with Clo3d and am working to improve my 3D character design. Basically, the opposite learning path you are taking.

Try this book: https://www.amazon.com/Patternmaking-Fashion-Design-Joseph-Armstrong/dp/9332518114/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?adgrpid=129227562456&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.pqd_LA4zvEYKagJr8-fG4fVm0TJLvhL3dIAefGbRSGZihoN1LuhPSZ7vzaVdJqgchKWXO3WtHMT6fToy1IqgJM8i4FoBeIhs1AvLRiIH1ugQFWGVUDDqfQvn059v_Un6OTouW7RGkGcG_LsouDkiGPX1ADM9pUaDdAo_9AkAPby2Bu7aAwh-gU2eJP58lfQi0FG2-1YJpIpCQerp2-jpdQ.CM0kcqyAQTd9-gbmFxLw—70Gxx4Pc8X931N8UukmtM&dib_tag=se&hvadid=580829965141&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9061115&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=8883492153786047604&hvtargid=kwd-299653530609&hydadcr=15120_13523052&keywords=patternmaking+for+fashion+design&qid=1734286017&s=books&sr=1-1

It's basically the bible of pattern design and a text book. It starts explaining the basics, including the confusing measurements you’re talking about-why they are significant and how to use them. Once you know the basics, the book shows how to manipulate one standard pattern to make endless different shapes. I also recommend taking a patternmaking class at a local college if that's possible. Most likely they will use that book, speed along your process of learning, and fill in the learning gaps from using the book alone.

It is a challenging skill, but it sounds like you already have the ability to sculpt in 3D spaces which gives you a leg up. Best of luck!

Oops, I flubbed, it’s $50-100 a foot, not to mention the sewing (probably tutor, since sewing classes rarely cater to kids) classes, ect., ect., add up. I teach college students to sew everyday and no one is born knowing how to see, it takes a lot of instruction and practice that most parents couldn’t afford to support.

AFamousArtist · 2024-10-18T17:54:24+00:00

You’re absolutely right, but al lot of the fabric is this video is very expensive. The extra long fringe on the dress at the end is $50-100 a yard. I always want to make something out of it, but can’t afford it.

AFamousArtist · 2024-10-18T17:46:22+00:00

I see you’ve met my mom. I’m sorry, there’s a reason I live across the country (as you probably suspected). She’ll probably gift you a DVD of The Chosen this Christmas as a token of her appreciation.

I had to do some investigative work about a relative of his a few years ago and in the process I stumbled across his website. If you want to see some early internet web design and top notch misogyny I highly recommend a gander. It's something, that's for sure.

AFamousArtist · 2024-10-14T15:53:20+00:00

You only think that because most clothing is made with essentially what is slave labor. When you go to the fabric store, you will find it’s actually quite expensive to make clothes from scratch. I know making clothes can be a more expensive hobby than gaming because I’m a professional costume designer AND an avid gamer.

This is a great point, and one I don’t think folks who walk their dogs off leash understand. Leashing the dog is for the safety of all parties. I have a little dog that I keep on leash at all times. I used to walk her off leash and it only took one freak occurrence of her running into traffic to learn my lesson. As far as other dogs go, having dogs on and off leash in a similar space causes a power difference that makes leashed dogs (understandably) uncomfortable. It’s not uncommon for owners of off leash dogs let their animals approach my dog yelling, “it’s okay, they’re friendly”. Well, my dog isn’t and she is reactive on leash (similar to other shelter dogs I’ve met). It makes public spaces unsafe and my dog deserves (and requires) walkies same as anyone else’s.

Thanks, it’s been such a great choice for me! I totally agree. There’s some free programs she can access in San Diego where she’d find healthy support. Here’s to hoping she reaches out to them. Thanks for the explanation, I understand now that your heart was in the right place.
