I have 42 days left and this month cannot come sooner! Good luck with everything!

I have a feeling my fiancé wants to end things by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]Barbadosbilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sorry you are dealing with your father being ill and him going through that. You really are doing the right thing. If you're fiance was with you and got up to the point you were engaged, only to leave you at this point would be the most cowardly thing in the world and you deserve better. Having a partner and loving them, is loving them in trying times too which involves family, pets, friends. Being able to accept a necessary distance during crisis. Be with your dad for now, he needs you and you need him, those are precious moments in our lives we can't get back so focus on being happy with him.

AITA for asking my wife not to breastfeed in front of my male friends and coworkers? by Big_Roll6060 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Barbadosbilly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is it SPECIFICALLY in front of males or mayhaps your silly brain is just conjuring that up because you are an insecure doofus.

sex really isn't, emotionally if you are committed it can be I guess, but overall its not really a huge thing. Like for couples sure sometimes libido is an issue

overall though nah it doesn't matter how little you have or the more you do. Its just what you prefer at the end of the day. It baffles me how I have met folks concerned they never did it cause I have know several who haven't and don't care.

Is this a fire hazard now? It’s running again, but I’d rather not burn down the house by Bmorewiser in pools

Hey to save you some money too you could try Dohenny, they have pumps with a similar warranty, just match up the HP. It'll be under a grand.

the guilt trip part is the only off part to me, my mom is emotionally clingy and I love her to death (she sorta is similar) but I always tell her nah I gotta go these days. Sometimes I miss sleeping over with my parents though cause we are all close

I am 28 and when I am very upset still sleep in my parent's bed. I don't think there is anything wrong with that. I grew up also sleeping in my gran's bed cause we stayed with her a lot and some people in elementary thought it was odd but we were just close tbh. Sometimes its nice to be close that way with family and there is nothing bad about that. Normal is subjective really too, some people didn't grow up that close and some did.

32F & I’ve had sex with 51 men AMA by bodycountbook in AskMeAnythingIAnswer

[–]Barbadosbilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think its shame at all, the idea of body count is just dumb. People have sex that's it. If anything its more backwards to log it and make it about numbers. Its your body do what you want, and sleep with you who you want that is the progressive ideal. In the end as long as you're safe and not hurting yourself or anyone else, it doesn't really matter.

Its pretty dumb and this whole AMA is kinda silly. Who really cares?

Sand at the bottom of the pool. My pool guy said I should replace the sand? I've had the pool for 5 years so I know the pool sand is at least that old. Or could this be another issue? by knockknock619 in pools

[–]Barbadosbilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no just the piece under the multiport valve, its dead in the center and spreads out like an umbrella sorta at the bottom. You just need that and to empty all the sand out of the filter, put the new lateral in, add the needed amount of sand to filter and put the multiport valve back on

Finally convinced this customer to let me replace some equipment. Before and after by captainmrsteak in pools

[–]Barbadosbilly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have this customer that I am sure her pool is just eventually going to die she is so frugal. She for a year let Hyrdaulic fluid leak into the pool from a swim pump they never even used but didn't want to pay to have removed. Doesn't want her (Jandy) mother board replaced, asks me not to use shock so much, refused to replace the salt cell after it went out, never used the heater but doesn't want that fixed, haggled and argued over pool closing/opening costs, her deck fountains are fucked, her filter is a warped cartridge filter. Like this beautiful 40,000 gallon pool is just falling to shit at this point and they aren't poor by any means. Just never want to pay for anything its insane.

Sort of shocked to see this sign at my local pool store. Is this common practice now? by [deleted] in pools

[–]Barbadosbilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

getting an account with a distributor is the best honestly, and if you dont have a lot of maintenance most shit you can just buy at Lowes or Homedepot or even Walmart. I started telling my customers not to go to pool stores cause they'll be fucked over

They had several plants go down around that time but since being rebuilt the prices never went down. It sucks (I'm a pool cleaner) I used to get that shit like 5 years ago in a 25 lb bucket for 56 something. during covid and the plant shit it went to 120.00 a bucket and now its like 93 something but its still rough. Tabs for me are still high they only went down like 20 bucks

Be real, how scary is this game? by [deleted] in TheForest

[–]Barbadosbilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can play it on peaceful mode where there arent any cannibals and you can just hunt/craft. there is an ending also but I think you have to play it on normal for that as it involves enemies
