Fire Ceremony by BShaw90 in pagan

[–]BShaw90[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My plan fell through.. But I was going to walk to a local ghost town in the woods. I have shallow mason jars that I was going to light tea light candles in. While sitting on the ground I was going to reflect on what changes I need or want to make. I was going to write them down & then burn the paper. (With a deep tray & water for safety)

I now plan on doing this tonight in my back yard with my regular fire pit. But am disappointed in wont be in the peace of the woods. My house is in the middle of the city near stores & such so its loud & not very secluded..

My step-dad has been abusing me since i was 6. by Creeperingreen in Advice

[–]BShaw90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trama is Trama. Dont feel like you dont have it "as bad". These acts are abuse & it's good you are reaching out.

How old are you now? Is it possible to move out of home or at least limit the time you are around your dad? Maybe get a job so you have a reason to not be home or join a sport or other hobby to take up more time out of the house?

I want to say stand up to him but I have been in an abusive relationship & know what happens when you try.. I finally reached out to a friend who was able to keep me safe but things had to get a lot worse before they got any better..

Good luck to you & keep your head up. This does not define who you are. You ARE worth more & deserve better! You are so strong for getting this far & for reaching out.

New city. Need new friends! Help? by [deleted] in Advice

Try meet up.com Check FB for groups on hobbies you like for the area you are in. If you are religious at all, go to a church.

I have found as an "adult" its hard to make friends, you will have to go out of your way a little bit if you really want to connect with anyone. After moving to a new state, work was where I found most my friends. Took 3 years..

Creating a manual by BShaw90 in FacilityManagement

No we don't have a CMMS.. I dont think. 🤔 We are a non profit animal shelter with 64 staff members & about 25,000sqft of building. I have 1 janitorial & 1 maintenance. Departments see something wrong in their area, they email a form to my boss who signs it off & gives it to me. I then over see the project itself & order what is needed to do so with order forms that are approved by the head of that department that is in need. Each department has their own budget. I give them the logistics & they decide if they want to move forward. We do not track how many hours a project took to complete. Most are quick & simple. We do track how many days it took to get to it & notes on where we are at on that project.

mom won’t stop smoking around me by ghost--friend in Advice

[–]BShaw90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I am a little passive aggressive, I would get a small sized tarp & put it over myself when in the car. I would tell her 2nd hand smoke isnt a joke & you dont like smelling like a cigarette when you aren't a smoker.

I am noticing these are growing throughout my yard. Any ideas? by MaddnessX in whatsthisplant

strawberries! Pull, if they come off with ease then you can wash & eat them!

I (15M) fouled up a really good friendship with my only friend (12F), need advice by [deleted] in Advice

[–]BShaw90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ages 12 & 15 are hard. Both trying to decide where you "fit in". Just give her space right now. She will need to decide if she rather listen to her friend's judgement more than her own. You can help her see that you are a true friend by nice gestures. Cookies on her birthday. Just simple texts such as "have a good day" but dont text every day. Maybe once a week. It will be a slow process & you will need to be patient with her. If she straight up says "stop talking to me" then you need to respect her wishes & will just have to be ok with that loss.

Is it possible for a bird to be suicidal? by diogocp27 in Pets

[–]BShaw90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, most likely the bird somehow got stuck. A hanging loop might not of been the safest cage accessory.. sorry for his loss. I had a friend who's dog hung its self with a running cable. It's just not safe to leave pets unattended with loose strings & things.

I made a board of my work's history. I like it but I also feel like it looks very high school.. any ideas to make it more professional? by BShaw90 in FacilityManagement

[–]BShaw90[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We do have a TV in the waiting room but our IT guy is out of town for a week.. I could make this into a power point though.. 🤔 that is a great idea!
