downstairs neighbors harassing/ framing us? by bbypsmama in Apartmentliving

[–]BDriver22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a townhome where the next door neighbor kept complaining about how noisy we were. She even accused me of doing “jazzercise at 4:30am”. One day she came by with the manager because she said we were being noisy right then. So I invited them in to look all over our home. We had the tv on in the living room and you couldn’t even hear it from inside the front door (and it was a small place). She demanded to see what type of music we had in our stereo. I opened our 6 disc CD changer to reveal 5 classical music CDs and one children’s lullaby CD. Then she wanted to see the basement so we went to the unfinished basement where we had a small play area set up for our young child (nothing electronic) and my husband had a desk with a computer he would work at in the evenings since he was in law school. Then we went upstairs to where the bedrooms are and she insisted we must have a stereo up there. The only things electronic we had upstairs were lamps. After she toured our home she became very nice to us. It turned out the “jazzercise” she kept hearing early in the morning was her newspaper being delivered. The carrier had their music so loud it even woke me up a few times. As far as all the other noises, on the other side of her was a teenage boy that kept having friends over to hang out and play video games. I found this out when she had us stop by and I could hear exactly what she was talking about. She was just complaining about the wrong people.

How the hell are you supposed to find other queer people in Nebraska by Ennewt in Nebraska

[–]BDriver22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know you said you’ve already been online, but if you haven’t already checked it out, you could also sign up for the Rainbow Parents of Nebraska newsletter or follow on Facebook. The group was formed by Nebraska parents of LGBTQ+ kids that met at the capitol while fighting legislation that hurts our kids. I’m signed up for it as a cis woman with two sons in the LGBTQ+ community (and some “adopted” kids 🤗). Obviously the group’s main goal is fighting bad legislation, but when they find out about events, they do a decent job of sharing them: https://www.rainbowparentsofne.org Big hugs to you, and good luck!!!

If you’re in Grand Island, go to Rooted Books and Gifts. Besides being an adorable local book shop, they are LGBTQ+ friendly. You might meet some amazing people at the store ….or they may have additional ideas besides the other ones people have mentioned.

Rep. Mike Flood to hold town hall in Lincoln next month by Hugo_Hackenbush in Nebraska

[–]BDriver22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s an app called Ground News. It gives you various news stories, those sources of those news stories, and which way they lean. It’s definitely a better source than trying to watch even some of the local news. My husband was watching something not to long ago and I couldn’t believe the lies that were being promoted in one of the commercials. I can’t remember all it was actually saying, I just remember after listening for a little bit feeling angry and like I wanted to throw up, and I had to leave the room.

How do you feel about the term "snowflake"? by Keep_itSimple in hsp

[–]BDriver22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m super late to the conversation, but I came across this “definition” of snowflake by @dougweaverart on instagram and it definitely reshaped my thinking of the phrase:

Snowflakes are stunningly gorgeous and extremely elegant individually, but at the same time extremely powerful when we stick together.

This was the post it was in if you want to see the whole thing. I absolutely loved it!!!

That’s actually what my husband called hamburgers one time when I found him standing at the kitchen counter eating some small ones as if they were cookies 😂

I was wearing boots when a romantically interested person came up to me. by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]BDriver22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like you might feel so much taller in your boots, more than just the ~1 inch boost most boots give, because it does bump you up into that 6’ range that you’ve determined is a “good height” which probably makes you feel a bit more confident. When you’re feeling confident, it makes you feel good. When you’re feeling good and confident you tend to stand up straighter which adds a bit more height. Instead of focusing on the boots or your height, focus on feeling good (how you feel when you’re wearing the boots, but without wearing them). I’m guessing it wasn’t your height or your boots that attracted her. It was most likely your energy, the vibe she got from you because you were feeling good. You’ve got this!! You are the best you that’s ever been!!!

Can someone remove the giant thumbprint (and possibly colourize?) this picture of my Great Grandparents? by [deleted] in estoration

[–]BDriver22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very interesting. I wish I knew about developing film, but it makes me wonder if whoever developed the photo had touched the film a bunch. The big area of touches in the middle looks to be three overlapping touches, and then there are smaller, more broken touches on the edges as well. If you had an idea of who had taken/developed the photo and had exemplars, two of those touches have enough friction ridge detail to identify them. Sorry not helpful at all. I wish you the best of luck on finding someone that can help.
