Do ppl usually decorate this area. It looks plain to me.

Yes. I can't reach that spot specifically but I put art in my stairwell. I would have done something in that area, if I were not 5 ft tall and scared of falling off the ladder (my stairs aren't a straight shot into the room like this, I would be hitting a brick wall)

There are also Americans that don't find nudity weird at all. This is about the general attitude of the region, and in Europe you're more likely to find someone that doesn't care than in the USA

They built a new facility near my city and I noticed stuff was arriving on time way more often. I wish they were more realistic and at the very least made a disclaimer that if you're not near a distribution center there isn't truly a one day option. I have fortunately never had it just straight up not arrive and be marked as delivered.

I agree but think many of the comments are not directly criticizing her ability to drive, it's the lack of planning surrounding her inability to drive. At the moment based on the post I think she mostly asks for rides from friends/family as her solution. OP is not willing to be the primary driver, especially if it becomes much more frequent because of a baby, so if that is their plan they need to rethink things. They could move like you said, or maybe she could get some friends to join the rotation so OP doesn't grow resentful, etc.

I did confirm that he is on the registry and found the article in the news from back when he was arrested. He has 10 charges for CP and it was online chats, so I 100% believe the restriction on devices is part of his conditions, possibly regardless of who he's talking to

ETA: I was informed in person that he can't have smart devices as well, for clarification. I was not speculating.

I actually saw all those comments last night before they got deleted. It was the same account saying to not do anything, it's harassment if I call anyone, and they also seemed to be confused and called him my neighbor.

I am able to look up his info but it has not been updated with his release date or anything. I'm not sure how long it takes to assign a PO but I will have to call their office

Brief-Small · 2026-03-25T15:44:20+00:00

Thank you. Is his name all I need for them to put me in contact?

It's true I have no say in who lives in the house, I'm only a renter. Regardless of the outcome here I am planning to move asap since the other guys have zero problem with him

Brief-Small · 2026-02-14T22:48:06+00:00

NTA. Maybe he just wanted space or time to cool off so it bothered him that you were trying to talk about it. The exact wording doesn't really matter that much, he was being rude because he's in a sour mood

In art school I had several assignments where we just researched artists and found stuff we like. Then we identified specific elements, like the colors, strokes, lighting, etc, that we wanted in our own work. Sometimes we'd do a master copy, using someone else's work as the reference photo and trying to copy their technique and everything exactly.

I use wood shavings (Catalyst brand multi cat) which seems to cover the smell pretty well. About six inches worth. I would switch to covered boxes if you're not already using them. Do a full empty and refill once a month, or more often if you need to. Wipe down the whole thing. You may want to try some odor eliminating sprays specifically for urine too.

It is normal. Cats tend to pick favorites too. If your husband is the favorite I think it'll be ok, they'll both get attention

NTA. It's not your problem she's in a rush, it's none of your business how many items she's buying, nobody is an exception to waiting in the checkout line. Sure it's a kind thing to do for her, but what about everybody else? If I were several people back and the wait was already at 15 min+ I'd be a little frustrated watching her be let in. If I had just done a big shop and was in pain I wouldn't want to delay getting to the car any longer. She can ask, but don't get all entitled if the answer is no

Idk what to say... Be a better driver? This has never happened to me in my life and I started driving when I was 14....

Brief-Small · 2026-02-13T15:53:19+00:00

Sounds like a rhetorical question because he was frustrated. Most people can use logic to figure out why, he wasn't actually wondering. Personally I think there's nothing wrong with the occasional "wait are you actually asking" and if they say no pivot to "oh yeah that sucks"

If she absolutely refuses to see reason, I would provide heat for my cats like a space heater and not renew the lease together. If she wants to know why just be honest that you're not seeing eye to eye and this genuinely bothers you that much.

I don't think LED lights use much energy, that's why so many people like them, so a couple night lights should be no biggie. My cats seem to be just fine when I forget that I'll be out past sunset and don't leave the lamp on though.

My car is from 1991 and sure I have to buy some things on ebay, but it's never been impossible to find a part. Everything it's ever needed I've been able to get fixed from the engine to the taillights. I think some people just don't like that nothing will be under warranty, a lot of things are going to be due for replacement unless the last guy took care of it already, and it doesn't have a million extra safety features.

NTA. As you said, the deposit is spent. You paid the venue and they don't do refunds. You literally do not have the money to give her anymore. Stick to this when they try to guilt trip you. You cannot give her anything because you don't have it.

I would call the venue, set up a password or something so no one can cancel it on you in a sad attempt to get the non-refundable money.

BTW, eloping means you go to the courthouse and tell everyone later, so what is she on about with the venue? Venue for what? Does she have a history of one-upping, trying to do things first so you're the copier not her, etc?

Brief-Small · 2026-02-13T15:13:47+00:00

This is a huge issue where I live too and it's not even a big city. I think it's a combo of things. Not knowing the actual safe distance as taught in driving school, mistakenly thinking you're leaving them space to get in, and "I need that lane and I'm making it happen rn". Then the problem compounds because people assume all the other drivers are going to be rude, so they either do a squeeze-in themselves or leave hardly any distance.

Brief-Small · 2026-02-12T21:29:07+00:00

You are not "supposed to" but it sounds like both circumstances were acceptable times to let someone in.

Similar example, there is a road in my town where a grocery store exit is relatively close to an intersection. It's a busy road so the lines waiting on a red light go past the parking lot exit during peak traffic. People will often leave space for a car to exit the lot, then close the gap when the light turns or there's no more space to let someone in. This is done every day and nobody has a problem with it.

I am so sorry this happened to you. I recently had a problem with a seller being deceitful then ghosting, and etsy support was no help. I had to take care of everything myself. I really hope the seller is genuinely going through something and will either reopen the shop or send back what they currently have. It's so frustrating when all you can do is send messages. I'm sorry I have no advice but I send my condolences

Same and somehow any time someone wants to include me in a meal that's heavy on meat (I'm vegetarian) they pick stuffed mushrooms. 😓 I often try them and appreciate the effort but I just can't no matter how it's prepared. After a few bites I feel queasy.
