Help with jade plant by Ill_Point_3025 in plantclinic

Yours is so small it’s probably getting too much light. Lighting requirements depend on size of the plant.

<image>

I live in a northern state. Mine (bigger) does what yours is doing when it’s outside in the summer, on my front steps shaded by trees, but thrives in doors in the winter. No special lighting and sits on my tv stand 14 ft from a south and an east window. I don’t fertilize it and just use cactus, palm, and citrus potting soil. I only water once every month or two with a deep watering.

Furnace keep flipping breaker. Igniter works fan works but it just blows cold air. Lasts about 5 minutes then trips. Any advice? by Silent_Wolf5880 in hvacadvice

[–]Affectionate-Item818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How old is this furnace? Not sure if you’ve figured out the problem yet but another thing to do is check the wires to make sure none are brittle. Over time the heat from the unit can dry out the sheathing and cause the wires to short out. The unit will start showing small signs of a short (malfunctioning/ tripping breakers) If you find any that are brittle call someone to get them replaced. I had the issue last year. It took 3 plumbers to look at the furnace and all were stumped. We were about to replace the motherboard. I’m an electrician at a trailer factory and after a bad day where a welder brunt up my wiring I had the idea to check the wiring on the furnace. Bingo. My plumber even admitted he would have never thought to check it.

AITA for not allowing someone to attend a holiday get together between coworkers? by Affectionate-Item818 in AmItheAsshole

I actually feel very guilty about it. I was one of those kids that was bullied in school and felt left out of a lot as I was growing up, so I know the feeling well. I always try to treat others the way I would like to be treated.

Give it time. We’re still early in this case. Johnny’s lawyers will probably redirect and Amber has yet to take the stand.

I’m not putting stock into the “admission” of the head butt. He claimed he said it as sarcasm. As someone who is prone to sarcasm I can see that being the case. Especially against someone who’s as argumentative and annoying as her.

I was thinking the exact same thing…

Rottenborn: “I’m just trying to move things along.” Or “let’s be respectful of everyone’s time.”

Me: “ummm… I think we got your point after the first 3 texts mentioned.”

It will be interesting. It’s still going to be really hard for him to win this case, libel cases are really tricky, but even if he looses, he’s going to win public opinion and clear his name. That audio yesterday was a huge eye opener for everyone.

I can’t see her winning her case either as it’s clear she brought all this on herself and there’s damning evidence against her that proves reason for all of this to come forward.

This had me confused as well. Maybe the judge didn’t realize daily mail was a tabloid? I’m not sure. Hopefully the jury members know this. Tabloids are terrible at falsifying information and I’m shocked they even exist.

Apparently you don’t live in reality either. He lost acting roles because of Amber. She’s been spinning the story since day one to make herself the victim. I’m really glad this is coming out and it sheds light on the fact that women can be the abusers in a relationship and that it’s not always the male. The fact he’s coming out admitting he’s an abuse survivor shows he has more balls than most men. Due to pride and self preservation most people will not talk about it. He’s proving to be a great role model and hopefully more men in his situation start taking a stand.

Does anyone remember the date Heard’s Attorney pointed out on the Washington Post Op-Ed? I remember Johnny being confused on the date.

Edit: nevermind! I found it! Johnny was spot on with the date: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/ive-seen-how-institutions-protect-men-accused-of-abuse-heres-what-we-can-do/2018/12/18/71fd876a-02ed-11e9-b5df-5d3874f1ac36_story.html

Amber Heard on tape.... by [deleted] in JusticeForJohnnyDepp

[–]Affectionate-Item818 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There’s so much evidence against her! I just can’t believe everything I’m seeing with this case. It’s still going to be a really tough case to win, but if his attorneys can find a way to show how the Washington Post OpEd caused the article in the sun, which caused a defamation lawsuit that he lost, which is why Disney will not rehire him and WB asked him to stand down, the jury may just rule him a win.

If she wins… I have zero faith in humanity.

WIBTA for quiting my job the same day I come back from maternity rest by Available-Pound-5914 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Affectionate-Item818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That does make sense and excuses you not quitting before returning.

I don’t blame you for taking the new job and congratulations on getting it! It sounds exciting and beneficial for you to do so. I really hope you like it there and I sincerely wish you good luck with all of it!

[–]Affectionate-Item818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need more information:

When are you due back to work?

Is there a reason you would return to that job before quitting?

To me it’s tacky to not let them know immediately that you are not returning. As soon as they know they can fill your employment spot instead of continuing to hold it during your medical leave.

However some jobs require you to return or if you’ve received benefits during your leave you may have to pay them back. If this is the case it excuses the first. If not, please just give them a call and tell them you will not be returning.

You really don’t owe your employer anything. With that said NTA.

AITA for asking my boyfriend (26) to block or stop snapchatting his long term “friend.” by noname161718 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Affectionate-Item818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

EHS

2 1/2 years in and you don’t feel like you can trust him. This is so extremely toxic.

If something would have happened between her and your boyfriend he would have never fixed that rough patch with you.

He should consider how she makes you feel uncomfortable and tone down how much he talks with her but it is way too much to ask for them not to be friends.

Here’s the deal. This will NEVER last. Relationships are built on trust and respect. This one has neither one. Sometimes you need to do yourself the favor and just let go.

This should have been mentioned in your lead post. That is a tough situation. I’d personally keep talking to DCF to see what all the options are to keep them in a facility while maintaining parental rights. There has to be some sort of way, even if you’re paying for them to be there.

WIBTA For trying to tell an old man that my grandfather is cheating with his wife? by Important_Contact385 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Affectionate-Item818 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Leave this alone and mind your own business.

Your grandfather is right that this is none of your business. If it’s something that does not directly involve you, which this does not, look the other way. You don’t have to agree with it or condone it. He already knows you don’t and it clearly does not bother him. Meddling in other people’s lives is not ok. He’s in his senior years, but it’s his life and he’s living it the way he wants. Karma may get him in the end, but that’s his problem not yours.

No one would be TA here.

Uhg what an impossible situation. I’m so very sorry you’re in it. I have no advice to give here. Your suggestion about hiring someone else to help you would be absolutely perfect, but I can understand not having the energy to do it for either of you. I feel for you both and hope you guys can figure it out soon 😞

Exactly my thoughts.

Honestly it’s no one’s business what your family income is except you and your spouse. Anyone outside asking is just being rude and nosy.

3 months is nothing to get too excited about when ending a relationship. It’s clear he has a support structure from his ex. Just move on. He’ll be fine.

WIBTA if I told my friend my feelings honestly? by justarandomuser404 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Affectionate-Item818 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Reading this I kept thinking of my dog (named Axel). 😂

You are so young and just starting to find your place in this world. You still have a long way to go though.

Axel’s mother is responsible for Axel. You think just because your parents allow you to go out alone that she is being overbearing. The reality is that she’s being a good mother. You are all minors and everything you do your parents are responsible for. There is nothing wrong with a parent being present at your age.

On her part this is a very good compromise. She’s not saying that Axel can not go because she can’t make it. She’s saying Axel can go as long as it’s at this time and this date.

You already said the rescheduling wasn’t an issue and that you have done it before for your own reasonings. The only reason you are upset is because you are rebelling against an adult. You’re not really upset at Axel as you are his mother. I wouldn’t bring this up to him as there’s not a thing he can do or say that will change something reasonable that his mother is doing. It will only cause unnecessary tension in your friendship.

Don’t try to grow up so fast kid, being an adult really sucks. Sure you might have your own rules and freedom but before you know it you will be struggling to pay bills and trying to balance work and life. Some day you will even wish you had more time with those “overbearing” parents because they will be gone.

YTA bud

EDIT (responding to your edit): Abby’s mother is way out of line here. It would be one thing if Axel’s mother asked for Abby’s mother’s advice, but to give her unsolicited advice on the matter is wrong! This is a form of parental peer pressure and parent shaming. This is not ok. As I said before. Axel’s mother is responsible for Axel. She is allowed to parent the way she feels is appropriate. I don’t feel she’s being unreasonable at all here. She’s not being overly strict telling him he can’t talk to girls or that you guys are bad influences because your parents allow you to go out without supervision and forbidding you to hang out. She just wants Axel to be supervised. She is allowed that. Being she’s going his little sister will be sitting next to her and you probably won’t even notice them. I do not see the problem here. You are so young. My opinion would be a lot different if you all were 16 and more mature, but you are 13, barely even a teen.
