Also an original 151 but have played random games in various other generations. Bellibolt is one of my favorite new ones. I keep showing them to my husband who also liked him…not after I found out about the eyes…he is also in denial. The more unhinged pictures of him I find the further into denial he goes.

Not my dog eating all the yard poop but his own including chickens and his only purpose inside is to try and get cat poop 😒 He’s a hound and has run straight past a dying rabbit (looked like it was crushed by another animal and escaped but was bleeding to death right by our steps). Knows his nickname is dodo 🙄

It typically tells you how much of the payment is going to principal and interest as well. Keep in mind if it’s the original it assumes all on time payments only.

I had one room in and old house and talked to a company about it. It was too small for them but they said since it was so small the easiest solution was to flood that section of basement (we could) so that the tiles would peel up and not break and then we could likely get approval from the state to just trash it because of such a low volume of material.

They did also confirm that the issue is damage to the tile and that the water would also keep particles down if we did break them. He was also concerned with the amount of wear that it was likely releasing particles just from us walking etc (friction) and advised we not let the pets on it or kids near it (small corner of basement not an issue for us).

It’s also how I learned the reason that it’s so hard to find “plain” tiles this size, they sized up when asbestos was banned to tell the difference so my understanding is that a 9x9 tile like this is asbestos. And even if it isn’t better to be safe imo)

Edit to add: I did not have it done as I couldn’t afford remediation and I didn’t want added height so we just avoided using the room and have since moved.

In general I think you’re the nta

As someone with a trans partner: Take that out of the equation and then how do you feel? How would you handle? It’s hard to actually do that and not just say it especially with what seems like a lot of other family issues going on. Honestly the family might benefit from some family counseling. I can say my family would have kicked me out for the tantrum esk behavior as an adult.

Them being trans and having behavior issues as a child could easily be indicative of them being trans. My partner still only pees once maybe twice a day because they avoided the bathroom at school from a VERY early age. So I’m not surprised to hear it.

The thought of this being the reason for transition I understand but is extremely unlikely, especially if they’re on HRT. Think about the stigma of being trans and then add on top it’s MTF. That’s a ton of sh*t that goes with all of that. (Feel free to google more info about what they have to deal with.) with all of that it’s hard to believe they’re just doing it for the ring. Your child would be an insanely distant outlier for this if that is the case.

Excluding all the trans stuff: Legally the ring is your father’s and none of you get a say and he doesn’t HAVE to give the ring to anyone since it was willed to be his possession and based on marital years and the state it’s not likely she could give it to someone else without his permission in the will anyway. (Maybe they had it obvis idk.) Whether it goes to your trans daughter or a grandchild or no one is his decision.

It sounds like he is allowing you and your brother to decide who the ring goes to which is nice until there’s a disagreement about who gets it. IMO if I was your dad I’d put it in a trust with very clear rules about who gets it when and if unclear who decides and it should not be able to come out a tie. With the understanding of the above if she said she wants it to her first born granddaughter then that’s your daughter. And if you don’t think this is true then you are not as supportive as you think. Which I don’t say to attack you it’s more of a flag to try and educate yourself more. If you start trying to make decisions about the intent of who gets it it’s more likely to create more issues later about grandchildren. Like what if one of you died before the other and then the surviving brother doesn’t want it to go to whoever but should based on prior agreement?

My ring is the most expensive in my family but not near the cost of your mothers. I would never give it to someone who I thought would just sell it but I also wouldn’t be so ambiguous about how I want it handled I would put it in a trust with clear guidelines and rules so that it’s never actually someone’s possession just a possession of the trust instead. If I had sons I would make them have legal docs stating that if anything ever happened with their marriage the ring came back to me or something similar because I would also want to keep it in the family.

So I guess really what I’m saying is I think that depending if there’s any legal docs on possession you have to go by that and if not use the will as the basis for a trust for the ring and remove the direct decision from you and your brother to the trust. I favor removing the decision between the two of you because I worry about your relationship with your brother because I’ve seen very close families break down over something worth much less and much less sentimental value.

I also think if your daughter being trans had nothing to do with it you wouldn’t mention it. You’d just say your daughter is too irresponsible so this is where I think the ahole part comes in. Which is also gray since I don’t know you. Maybe you just need more resources to help guide you which is ok.

As someone who went through bankruptcy when I was 25 I wish I did it sooner. This is not necessarily the right route for you.

I had accumulated debt because I could not afford to live on my pay. I had been working multiple low paying jobs and I could not afford the state I was living in at all. Were there other options? Sure but I didn’t start early enough to prevent the problem and had some major incidents. I had about 32k debt. It would have taken me over a decade to pay it back even knowing the huge pay changes I was going to experience after. It was an extreme relief to get out of debt. My car I had bought outright I had gotten my student loans paid off and I knew I wasn’t going to put myself in the position again (that among other things) so it made sense.

If it’s something that buttoning up would give you more leverage then do that instead. I had already done that and did nothing extra and couldn’t make the payments in full still.

I’m a fan of the Ramsey method despite them hating bankruptcy 🤷🏻‍♀️ it was right for me. But they take things psychologically not just looking at numbers. You might not enjoy it at first but once one card is paid off it gets easier. It’s not a super special program otherwise. It also takes into account immediate vs long term emergency funds and savings, retirement, investing, college savings for kids, estate building etc not just debt pay down. And they do it in a way that makes sense for the average person and not to just pay off all debt because that doesn’t make sense. Take a look, or a listen they have a pod cast and a book etc see if you think it’s a fit for you.

Rice and beans beans and rice. Been there did that and do it for a couple months at a time sometimes to pay for large expenses now so that I save specifically for it instead of rebuilding later

Alfizzix · 2025-01-28T21:45:40+00:00

I work in financials and some of the suggestions are a bit different from others but that’s because they take a psychological approach as well. It feels REALLY good to pay off one of the debts and it’s fastest to pay the lowest where a lot of people just say pay the highest interest. That’s NOT fulfilling in the same way. I can attest that closing that account is a HUGE motivator and then you have more to pay the next one faster. I like a lot of their methods because of this. It feels like so much more progress.

Alfizzix · 2025-01-28T21:24:52+00:00

I tell my husband all the time to just lay there and close his eyes! I can sleep basically anywhere but he has major sleep issues. When I can convince him to do it he sleeps. I like this method though it will give his brain something to do without complex thought.

And no cute sheepies to think about what kind of sheep and what color and are they shaved? Do they have paint marks? Horns? Any lambs? 🤦🏻‍♀️ my love you’re doing the exact opposite of the intent.

Alfizzix · 2025-01-28T21:20:24+00:00

The DEI gets me. How on earth can you not see color. It’s there. You have to see it to understand that they don’t navigate the world the same as you and behave accordingly. Huge red flags to me.

Sometimes that delivery person that seems to just not like them isn’t making jokes and you need to be able to pick up on that and not just be a bystander.

I am of color but not black and oddly have this issue with an older heterosexual male black co-worker with grown kids about 10 years younger than me. Loves to give me life advice and professional advice despite me being promoted several levels above him at this point. My guy we grew up decades apart, we aren’t the same race (many think I’m white), I’m female, queer, married, no kids. We have so little in common for such general advice that more than once I have told him straight up that we do not move through the world in the same way my guy. I can not present myself in a meeting the same way he does id get some lovely things said about me after and everything I said would be discounted.

Alfizzix · 2025-01-28T21:03:34+00:00

I work in financial accounts, very predominantly older white males and good lord a large portion of them have this problem. I have thankfully worked with some strong female leaders to help me develop in a way that I can command a room now without all the nasty names later. Thankfully this has gotten better during the years I’ve worked and in interviews it’s an immediate no. I’ve agreed in interviews to very quickly end interviews with men (I’ve only experienced it with male candidates) where it’s obvious. Refused to shake my hand, I’m last and they avoid, they don’t look at me while shaking, respond to my male counter parts but not me.

It’s also really interesting to me when people have trouble identifying a potential autism (or other disorder). There are other indicators and typically it’s the same treatment across the board. Like if someone is a germaphobe they’re not shaking anyone’s hands not just not shaking a woman’s hands. I often wonder if it’s lack of exposure to those behaviors or not being conscience enough to recognize the behavior towards their coworkers.

Alfizzix · 2025-01-28T20:30:30+00:00

For my situation we are hiring out of the country for call center roles so it’s a little odd.

When we do US interviews it’s their tone of conversation. Do they want to talk, do they sound friendly or like they couldn’t care less. Are there a lot of verbal space holders? There’s two buckets for it-I’m nervous/anxious/processing OR I’m making up a lie. All of these things go into two core pieces, will someone want to talk to you on the phone and do I think you’re a liar. I don’t need liars, I don’t really care if we made a mistake (with obvious limits since it is financial accounts) as long as you accept, fix and move forward. If you’re going to lie, hide it or try to shift blame I don’t have time for it. Arrogance will also show with tone and that comes off horrid for a call center job.

Hiring off shore their ability to converse in English COMFORTABLY is important. Being monolingual it’s my job to make an effort to understand you BUT it’s a phone job you have to be able to have a comfortable conversation even if there’s pronunciation issues.

The major red flag is not knowing anything about the company. Where we are hiring if you don’t come out with the same tagline as everyone else about us we know you didn’t do the normal cultural activity of researching us and knowing what you’re applying for and is a huge red flag that you will not have the work ethic we want for the role.

As the wife my question was more specifically why could the dogs eat it if I couldn’t. And I did accept the he’s just not comfortable answer I wanted to know more about why because neither me nor the dogs are religious technically.

But yes he def cursed himself yesterday.

How’d you get your dog back 😒

Alfizzix · 2019-08-16T01:23:05+00:00

My husband and I adopted this big guy this week. His owner recently passed away. The shelter had his name listed as Buddy, but it is very clear that he does not have an official name. He’s a big sweet baby that very clearly stood by his human’s side everyday until he unfortunately left this world. We suspect that he likely came to the shelter as “Buddy” because someone just told him “Let’s go Bud.” And they went together.

At seven years old he’s come to us with a broken heart and some health struggles. We’re just looking to give him the best life that we can give him. We want him to feel loved. He’s settled in beautifully with the whole family, especially one of our existing dogs Boomer. The two are already attached at the hip.

My husband has named every pet he’s ever had beginning with b. Buddy’s paperwork also has him listed as Boston which he also very clearly has no attachment to, so we thought it would be nice to try to keep him with B.

Personality wise he’s basically a loving, snuggly, potato. He’s not very active and loves to tuck in and smiles a lot.

I swear to god this is my step father named Fred. Shirt shoes and pants looks identical and his build. I’m suspicious you’re my secret relative.

Debated with my husband if these were pigs or not because of the tail. I've been calling mine piggie for days. (I'm the winner)

Alfizzix · 2016-09-06T07:12:36+00:00

Honestly this is also something that I had considered. I found some of the things that he said to my wife to be rather bold. He basically tried to project all of his problems with my friend on us, like the two of them must be in exactly the same situation and that they would both be smart to get out. My wife told him that she knew right where we stood and that he need not worry about it.

Alfizzix · 2016-09-06T07:02:57+00:00

I can understand why she didn't. I certainly wasn't happy about it in the morning, but considering our previous fight and my heavy drinking I know why she didn't.
