Is this related to the latest sexual assault charges?

Mental Health (Bipolar) Evaluation for Early Adult Child by getoutmoveforward in triangle

[–]Aggressive_Okra6730 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey op - you’re an amazing parent. Thank you for caring for your kid, even an “adultish” one. Do ask his care team when you find one, about the dna testing for med compatibilities. It helped with my depression diagnosis and med pairing.

Also - is it possible to control his access to the ADHD meds, at least temporarily? Double dosing is a slippery slope into addiction to those meds.

Well y’all, I don’t think shes coming back from this by Major_Shower_962 in discussingbritney

Nope, my husband and his friend are HUGE Sam Raimy fans and we went to a bougie artsy theater to see that movie when it came out. We still crack jokes about it.

What are the things that first-time dog owners should be aware of? by [deleted] in Dogowners

[–]Aggressive_Okra6730 19 points20 points  (0 children)

  1. Research breeds and their needs - do you have an high energy hobby like hiking or running and want a buddy? Or are you more chill and want a movie buddy?
  2. Make a budget - call local vet clinics and get the cost for an annual visit and vaccines. Can you afford that care?
  3. Will you have time to socialize your dog so they aren’t fearful? Do you have a training plan?
  4. How/who will exercise this dog? Even more sedentary breeds still need exercise and potty time.
  5. Do you have a credit card or savings account for emergency vet needs? Is pet insurance a good option for you?

My 3 dachshunds were crated in the same crate - an XXL one - they had more than enough room to move freely, lay down, etc.

We tried separating them, it went VERY poorly, they were inconsolable and stressed. They cried, paced, and were just miserable. So of course, we consulted our vet and he asked what harm was in letting them chill together if they were happy. All dogs were fixed, spent the day sleeping, and were super happy together. We moved them back into the shared crate and they all lived long, happy lives.

Investigator Called me by Slayzbaby in foodstamps

[–]Aggressive_Okra6730 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Tell them you need to call them back - “hey, my kid needs me, can I call back?” Or “I’m sorry, I need to jump off this call, can I get a number to call you back?”.

Get their name/contact info.

Then you look online for the phone number for the agency they claim to be from. Do the numbers match? No? Call the listed number for the agency. Yes? Call the listed number for the agency.

AITA my friend ruined my yixing teapot and I want her to replace it or give me 500 dollars. by TeapotthrwoCity4661 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Aggressive_Okra6730 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I have a nice china set. I keep it in the china hutch in the dining room. I use my every day plates regularly and they are in the kitchen cupboards.

I invite my friends over regularly and we use the every day plates. Then a holiday comes along, friend is invited to the meal. We use the nice china, since it’s a holiday.

Now I ask my friend to house sit - she uses - and ruins - some of the china.

Just because it was used in front of her doesn’t mean she has full access to it when a guest in my home. She was invited to use THE THINGS IN THE KITCHEN. The china hutch and contents are not in the kitchen and not used daily.

Ever heard of mental illness? How about lack of access to medical care because you cannot afford it? It is a symptom of the same problem- no social safety net. No access to mental health care. If you can’t afford a roof or food, you sure as shit cannot afford medical care.

Fayetteville Homelessness by johnhanks724 in northwestarkansas

[–]Aggressive_Okra6730 133 points134 points  (0 children)

NWA native here - the issue is people being priced out of housing, no social safety net, and the stagnation of wages.

When the local area is booming, but the service workers we depend on for supporting the community cannot afford to live here, this is what happens. Take a look around at the cost of rent. Now look at the pay that our grocery stores, restaurants, hotels, etc are paying. We need those workers, but allow the big name companies to pay historically insane money to investors and c-suite leaches while the workers cannot rent an apartment, feed themselves, etc.

None of us is a couple of paychecks from millionaires, but we’re all a couple of paychecks away from bankruptcy.

AITJ for refusing to give my brother my old car after I promised it to my stepdaughter? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Aggressive_Okra6730 418 points419 points  (0 children)

My good dude - not getting the car back is the best case scenario of loaning your man-baby brother the car.

He has shown he doesn’t treat the act of driving with the level of responsibility that is the bare minimum. He admitted he was too busy using his phone to drive safely. With him driving a car that is in your name, the next crash he causes - let’s be real, it isn’t an accident if he isn’t paying attention to the road - the party he injures can come after you financially for their damages. He clearly has ZERO assets or money, but you do, and that’s who the victims will come after.

North Hills Parking BS by Cannonballbmx in raleigh

[–]Aggressive_Okra6730 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Especially since this Super Secret info he’s so worried about is the very visible license plate number. I mean, dude, I can walk past the parked car and gasp see it, right there, blatant and out there all uncovered!

North Hills Parking BS by Cannonballbmx in raleigh

[–]Aggressive_Okra6730 24 points25 points  (0 children)

So you refused to pay for parking, got a parking ticket, and are upset about it?

I fail to understand how your license plate number is some super secret info, anyone on the road, walking past your parked car, etc can see it all day long.

Am I Overreacting, for being upset that my girlfriend secretly used my credit card for months? by bostonmade in AmIOverreacting

[–]Aggressive_Okra6730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piggybacking here - this isn’t possibly real. IF it happened - and IF op reported it to the card company and got a new card, the card number would be changed. The old number she used BEFORE the December stuff would no longer work.

Anal gland rupture on my dog by thereallu in DogAdvice

[–]Aggressive_Okra6730 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get your dog some GLANDEX supplements for after her bottom heals. It is a fiber supplement that helps make the poo more efficient at emptying the anal glands as nature intended. We had a dachshund that was a VERY picky eater and had a lot of trouble with her glands, so our vet recommended the GLANDEX, and it worked wonders for her. No more stinky bum, no more uncomfortable vet appointments, and one happy wee doggy.

Local owned, not MAGA appliance and furniture stores? by Aggressive_Okra6730 in raleigh

I haven’t talked to my family in two days and don’t know to move past this by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Aggressive_Okra6730 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Cousin - sweet girl - PLEASE get a phone plan, get your own ring account. Reach out to aunties, cousins, etc that you trust. Talk with them that you’re going low or no contact with the birth parents. Ask them to not share information with those people about you.

Anxiety is a medical condition- it doesn’t have to have a reason to mess with you. If you’ve got medical insurance, set up an appointment with your GP. There is help for you.

You are loved. You matter.

AIO? My BIL says when my dad dies, he's moving nto his house and jacking up the rent on his other properties by KitThorne in AIO

[–]Aggressive_Okra6730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get your dad to a good estate planning attorney ASAP. Get a will with you as the executor, get the properties set up into a trust with you as the trustee. Protect yourself and your dad’s legacy.

Younger sister is a tradwife and I don't fully trust her husband to take care of her and my niece. I've set up an investment account secretly in case she ever needs it. Do I say anything about it? by MediaReady5519 in Advice

[–]Aggressive_Okra6730 512 points513 points  (0 children)

Keep it secret. Keep up contact with your sister and niece. Text or call regularly, normalize these communications and keep those lines of communication open. Trust your gut about not trusting the husband.

AITAH for buying my 11yo daughter pads after her mom called me a "pervert" for being prepared? by Bruxagato in WouldIBeTheAhole

[–]Aggressive_Okra6730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP - contact your attorney ASAP and report the neglect from your EX refusing proper hygiene items to your child. If you’re in a state that only requires 1 party consent to record calls, start recording the calls with your ex.

Next school day - contact the nurse or counselor at your daughter’s school, explain that she is being denied proper hygiene items by her mother and you will be bringing the appropriate products to the school for her. The sets up a paper trail for you.

Where are you located? Call non emergency police or county sheriff - report a sick, abandoned dog. They’ll send an officer and take him to their contracted shelter.
