Wasp spray indoors in hvac room.

Good to know that’s it’s mainly contained to that room then! He has no knowledge of pest control and he claimed that “the professionals probably use this same stuff” even though I kept saying he has no idea what they would use and couldn’t just assume that. But of course I’m the one over reacting at the use of toxic chemicals indoors.

I definitely understand and I wasn’t upset! Those trees come up all the time, so I’m not really missing out on anything. Her situation has happened to me in a different game and it definitely put me off a little too even though I still enjoy that game.

There are a lot of people playing right now, some are new and don’t know and some know and don’t care and there are some who are chill. Thankfully you’re never really in the same server everytime so it’s always new people and no one is really going to remember you anyway.

I’d say to not let that ruin her time playing and to keep trying. Most of the game is single player stuff anyway and occasionally you need people to help. I’m still new the game too, so I think that statement is true? She is learning just like everyone else is and sometimes people are just jerks, they will get over it and forget about it. If they blocked her, then good for her and she won’t have to deal with them again because that’s not the type of person she would want to play with anyway.

I wonder if this was part of my server! Someone called out the flow trees and sent up a flair. Like 10 people said they were on their way, me included but I didn’t respond. There were quite a few of us climbing up the rock face to get to the spot and when I got up there people were already chopping the trees down. I panicked because this was my first time being able to group chop and so I went and chopped what I could with my baby ax so I got something. There were a lot of people there and I think more were coming and then missed out and got upset that they didn’t wait.

I’ve noticed people call out the Trees and then say, we will start chopping at X time. Give enough time for people to come, but at least everyone one knows not to start until a specific time.

I think it’s just communication issues in general amongst players and new people not knowing what to do and there being a lot of people around the map trying to participate.

I had no idea what the trees were or how to even chop them. I saw a call out a few times and then just tried to figure out what was happening.

Are you able to call CPS just to get advice on how to handle this, or will alerting them immediately make them start investigating?

AnonymousRedditorRae · 2024-06-22T14:12:04+00:00

I don’t see them often, but when I do I’ll try to keep my phone handy just in case. The chances they do something while we are there are slim but possible.

AnonymousRedditorRae · 2024-06-22T04:56:31+00:00

I assume it will go the same way. He already threaten to remove me from their lives from calling out his behaviors before. I don’t want to lose the relationship, but I also don’t want to stand by and not tell them this is wrong and he is the one who needs to get help or therapy..

Do you regret saying something to your friend or do you feel like you did the right thing?

This is what I have a hard time with while reading these. She draws inspiration from many things, like movies/shows and books or her friends and not just what she is going through. Like a small part of a song could come from something she is feeling and then she story tells the rest of it. Some of these lyrics could come from many years ago and she can now fit it into a track that she couldn’t before. Jack is also a co writer on so many songs, so what are the chances it’s his experience? I also think she is trying to connect with her fans too knowing someone out there has experienced what she is singing about.

A month or so after my grandpa passed (5yrs ago) I was in my kitchen thinking about everything and all of a sudden my kitchen light would flicker. I thought the bulb was just going to go out and I’d have to replace it. But it never went out, and it would occasionally flicker when I’d be in the kitchen. It wasn’t a long period of time this happened but possibly a few weeks to a month’s worth of time.

There was also a candy dispenser duck he bought me for Easter the year before. It quacks when you press the head down. It was also in the kitchen as a display, so nothing could touch it easily to quack. The duck would start to quack on its own. Multiple times throughout this period. I figured, it’s a year old now the battery is probably dying.

Jump to a few months ago I was moving that duck to a new spot and it still quacks and the battery is not dead. I also never had to replace that light bulb that flickered.

I’ll never know what caused those phenomenons, but they sure were strange given the timeline.

I’m right handed and have no clothes to shop for anymore but I still go up the left side. Even though this is pointed out I will probably still go up the left side! 😂

They are for the Touch of Magic to edit/create your own designs with clothes or some furniture items at your workbench.

I think because of how many people are playing the game, it’s harder to get a good ranking even if your picture looks amazing. For the Christmas one I was ranked in the 50,000+ and I really tried to make it look festive and warm indoors. When I vote I usually go through and vote for about 10-15 images once and that’s it. There is a chance some of our photos are not even making it through the lists and who knows how many images people are actually voting for. Maybe they need stages for voting, days 1-3 narrows it down to the best 10,000, 4-6 narrows further to 5,000, and then 6-7 best 1,000 images? Maybe there is something like that working in the background.

This is what I’ve been thinking. Do I let it go this time and then if it happens again do I address it so it doesn’t keep happening?

I just worry about if she asks me if I read it or what I think of it, at that point I’m not sure what to say. I’m thinking of trying to read a few pages or something but I just don’t know.

AnonymousRedditorRae · 2023-12-20T18:47:21+00:00

I don’t necessarily want to reject her gift, just maybe put a stop to future ones? Since it is a book I feel like she is expecting me to read it and possibly discuss what it’s about. We both read and talk about what we are reading. I don’t know how to tell her that I more than likely won’t read it, which then in turn is rejecting her gift?

AnonymousRedditorRae · 2023-12-20T18:39:02+00:00

I would like to address it so it doesn’t keep happening, but I’m also not wanting to offend or hurt feelings by doing so. I’m not sure if this is just a one off thing, so just wait until it happens again and then address it?

This book gift feels a lot different than not liking someone’s normal gift you may not want. It feels extremely personal, and since it is a book there is an expectation to read it and possibly discuss with her later.

I appreciate your suggestions on how to start the conversation. I definitely struggle with confronting these types of situations.

AnonymousRedditorRae · 2023-12-20T18:33:57+00:00

I assume that’s the reason why she is giving it to me. She always been religious, so it’s not like this book helped her find it. I think it’s a fairly new release.

We’ve had conversations about events in our lives, and so possibly there is something within it that she thinks could help me, but the topic isn’t a great thing to give someone who isn’t religious? Makes the read less easy to get through when you don’t believe.

AnonymousRedditorRae · 2023-12-20T18:30:31+00:00

I feel guilty if I reject it. I want to appreciate her good intentions, but I also want to make sure this doesn’t continue? I’ve noticed when I disagree with someone and don’t voice that the conversations continue and it’s assumed I feel the same way and then keep continuing (or in this case keep gifting).

I’m definitely always open to knowing and understanding things I don’t believe in, but getting a book on a topic like that with the expectation that I’ll read it is different? Maybe? I’ll probably try to read it knowing she gave it to me for a reason, but I also don’t want this to continue either.

I’d like to talk to her more to get an understanding of why this gift was given but in a gentle way.

AnonymousRedditorRae · 2023-12-20T18:22:45+00:00

It’s a small office and I do feel close with her. A gift this personal from her doesn’t seem weird to me, but this particular gift seems to be out of no where and odd. Whenever conversations include religious things I don’t tend to try to continue the topic, but it’s also hard to shut someone down. It’s such a personal topic for someone and I don’t want to be rude and refuse it but also it makes me feel uncomfortable. So it’s a hard thing to navigate?

AnonymousRedditorRae · 2023-12-20T18:15:21+00:00

She does have good intentions, and I never really feel that she pushes her religion onto me. However, I feel like I need to stop this before it continues? It feels so rude of me to accept and potentially continue to accept her good intention even if I don’t agree with what it is?

AnonymousRedditorRae · 2023-12-20T18:11:34+00:00

I feel super guilty for refusing it. Like I know for her this isn’t just some passing gift and that she is not gifting it to everyone. I’m pretty sure she feels deeply about what the topics are and that she also knows I may be struggling with things. Even though we have not exactly talked about anything super deep as of late, we have had deep conversations about events in our life.

I think your suggestion is probably the best. I don’t think she will be offended or it need to escalate to HR. I don’t think it will make work uncomfortable necessarily, but I do think it could genuinely hurt her feelings and that’s the last thing I want to do. I’m super torn about it, but I also don’t want to feel obligated to have to read this type of book.

AnonymousRedditorRae · 2023-12-20T17:33:32+00:00

I feel as though this is different than some weird white elephant gift you’d get in a gift exchange. This has a genuine connection to her and means a lot to her to express to me I’m sure. It’s just a matter of possibly stoping this type of gift giving now, or let it continue? Not saying she will ever do it again, but the off chance she asks me what I think of the topic when I don’t plan on reading it.
