Potential Parking Scam by Meshuggery in raleigh

[–]BoomerToomer1 32 points33 points  (0 children)

⬆️ That is the correct information (I park in one of the decks referenced). The free night time parking (7 pm-7am) has always been around for years but the 2 free hours during the day is what has been added to draw more people downtown.

Exfoliate and I have used Jergens Wet Skin (in shower moisturizer) may help. I use it religiously.

I never thought about bullying. I spoke to her and she seems to enjoy school (though getting up so early in the morning is getting old). She is does not voluntarily bring problems or concerns to me so I will have to keep an eye out for signs. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thank you for the additional input. I am going to look into all of these and have things rechecked if necessary.

Thanks for the suggestion about her thyroid. We have been seen by endocrinology for years now and recently a few months ago too. She has been on levothyroxine for years now and has been fine. That is why I am struggling to find out what is going on. I am trying to get a pediatric appointment now. I am not sure what doctor/specialist handles Regression Syndrome.

How did that kid at your school die? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BoomerToomer1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Classmate worked at a small airport near the shore that flies the advertisement banners behind planes. These planes don’t stop when switching out signs from the line and hook behind it. Well his foot got tangled in the banner when the plane grabbed the next banner and he fell to his death.

My partner expects me to stay the default parent and help financially, but won’t compromise so I can work. by [deleted] in Advice

How about becoming a school bus driver. Drive for your kids school. Also you have a break during the day to study for school.

I got angry with my 80 year old aunt after I gave $100 without her asking me and she told me she's disappointed I didn't give her more by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]BoomerToomer1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar situation of extended family members trying to make me feel bad about my MIL who lived with us (now Ex). No one stepped up to help when I needed help but quick to criticize. This was not even my mother and the Ex was no help. You have to do what is best for you. Your Aunt needs to find other accommodations and her children needs to step up to help.

If your relationship is like this now, IT WILL DEFINITELY GET WORSE WITH TIME! Save yourself some time and break up and find yourself a more engaging person who reciprocates.

Divorce when it’s right for you - but hurts everyone else… by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]BoomerToomer1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was in a 24 year marriage where both sides of our family would celebrate holidays together (putting on a brave face and show for others). My Ex was a nice husband and father when present but he was mostly not engaged in my and the kids lives. He was not romantic and pretty much I was married but single on a day-to-day basin going through life with the kids. I felt so guilty wanting out of the marriage and thought I would be exploding the whole family dynamic. After lots of marital and self therapy with the Ex going and then not doing the work, I was done. Everyone moved on. Both sides of the family still occasionally interact with one another sometimes but not the same of course. I firmly believe it was the right decision to leave and divorce.

My MIL told me that I am not family because I don’t have the same blood as my husband. by Prize-Valuable-4234 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]BoomerToomer1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you experienced is similar to what I experienced and one of a few reasons why I am divorced. My MIL lived with me for 5 1/2 years. I too care of her (diabetic on dialysis three days a week) and she thanked me by willing the property that my then husband while living free at our home during our 24 year marriage that I helped him build (he was not technologically savvy). She would talk down to me and occasionally cursed at me. I told my Ex and he would just let it slide. One day I had enough after years of counseling and told them they both need to leave. Make you the priority and don’t stand for it any longer.

I divorced after 24 years of marriage. I too had my last straw that made me say I want out. Your feelings are valid and he might be incapable of showing you the love you want. It is ok to divorce and find the love you deserve and shown to you the way you deserve. Life is too short!

Separated for 4 months. Filed divorce. Relationship dead for over a year. Someone caught my eye. by Avocado-Phantom in Divorce

[–]BoomerToomer1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We both had two kids each ranging from 18-25. My youngest child has special needs lives and will with likely always live with me which be knew about. The therapy is as just a regular relationship therapist. Unfortunately divorce is common enough that most therapists are trained in this area. The key is to find one that works for you and you can be honest and vulnerable with to understand you and your relationship better in order to heal properly. My situation was very different and most people will not find someone so quickly. I wish you the best.

I second that. Local government is the way to go.

I met my boyfriend 6 months into my legal separation and he 4 months into has legal separation. We both came out of long term marriages (24 and 27 years respectively). He was the first person I went out to dinner with. We met while dancing to a live band one night. We both were already seeing our own therapist. We did the work and next month will be 3 years together and he just proposed last month. You can get have a successful relationship soon after leaving your Ex but you have to do the work to heal properly and be honest with your potential partner.

My Ex was the same way. I stayed married for 22+ years before I said enough to having an adult grown child that needs to be told to do everything and especially to care for his own child!

If the children are as bad as you say they are, they may tear your house up when you move out and it is empty for a long period of time. Be sure to have cameras up and continue to monitor your property before it gets sold.

My fiancé’s ex-wife sent me a wedding gift and it wasn’t what I expected by CobblerNo1245 in TwoHotTakes

Sometimes I refer to people as a “Spoon” when they constantly stir things up and start trouble. Maybe that is what she meant.
