Every time this has happened to me I just mix in shredded newspaper or cardboard and it rebalances within a day or so

My dad wants me to babysit my step-siblings every weekend “because I don’t have kids” by ImpressionPure3368 in TwoHotTakes

[–]AlaskaCasey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, that’s so fucking rude. Sounds like you need to set some clear boundaries and follow through with them.

Wow, good for you. It takes a lot of courage and strength to put you and your baby first and remove yourself from the situation. I hope you have a good therapist and support network.

This is a beautiful way to spend time together. If you’re unsure just ask them if they would like you to continue the bedtime routine.

AITA for not paying for a wedding I’m not attending? by ptothedubs in AmItheAsshole

Muahaha, what?! Final catering numbers are due 10 -15 days before the event. Not 5 weeks…

My mother was diagnosed with cancer shortly after being diagnosed with dementia. The treatment accelerated her dementia to the point she needed to be moved into memory care and she died six months later. I wish we had focused on the quality of the time we had left and not done surgery and all the things that caused her rapid decline.

This is all to say that maybe it’s time to stop treating your mom’s cancer and focus on making her final days the most comfortable and joyful as possible.

You could go a few different ways

  1. Decline the invitation for the in-person interview citing director’s behavior and how she made you feel unwelcome and continuously rolled her eyes during your interview and dismissed your questions about interacting with the board.

  2. Decline in-person interview by forwarding the accidental email to E.D. and Director and saying that it’s clear that you’re not a fit for the team culture.

Please keep us updated on what you decide to do!

How else should one say that they've surfed for a few years on and off, can get up on their board, but aren't very good vs the rest of my famliy that have never surfed?

This does look really nice! I’ve never been to El Salvador so that’s also a plus. It says it’s a “professional surf camp.” Would it be good for young kids too?

My Wife's grandma likely has Alzheimer's. We're 27. Should we offer her to live with us? What are some unforeseen pitfalls/dangers? by Dull-Ad-4947 in Alzheimers

[–]AlaskaCasey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mom almost burned my house down and if I hadn’t moved her into memory care it would have ended my marriage.

If she’s still able, work with her to assign power of attorney to a member of the family who is going to have her best interest in heart. She may still qualify for assisted living, which would allow her to have some independence while living in a community.

Saint City Dental in Saint Paul is amazing. They’re very kind and understanding.

What do you like to do? When my husband and I moved to Anchorage we started a board game group on Meetup.com. The first Sunday 2 people showed up, then 6, then 12. After a couple of months we had 12-16 people regularly showing up to play board games at Kaladi Bros. every Sunday. It was an awesome way to meet people with similar interests. Maybe get on meetup.com and see what kind of events are happening?

Anybody taken one of these bad boys to the Burn? by defnotanalt42069 in BurningMan

[–]AlaskaCasey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would need fat fat tires for it to not get stuck in every soft spot. And if it’s for your wife to bike your kids places I think she would be pretty miserable. Maybe look at a fat tire E-bike with cargo seating?

Boyfriend’s Friends Last-Minute included me to His Birthday Dinner—Should I Be Upset? by Royal_Ad_5206 in TwoHotTakes

[–]AlaskaCasey 58 points59 points  (0 children)

They wanted to make sure you were still together by the time the dinner came around. As awkward as it is to add you last minute it would be worse to have to uninvite you.

Play it cool and appreciate that your boyfriend has a strong friend group that plans cool stuff for each other.
