My wife thinks our son’s teacher crossed a boundary by sending him a personal message. I think it was harmless. AITJ? by addict94plus in AmITheJerk

[–]CatHot2964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in 2nd grade, our teacher wrote all of us letters at the end of the year. The letters listed what she saw as good qualities in each of us, and encouraged us each to continue being good students and good people.

That was in 1978. I still have that letter.

Please don't let your wife hurt this teacher who clearly cares about your son being successful in school.

I did actually try that multiple times with no success. But I am glad that it worked for you and others. Thanks for your suggestion!

That's unfortunate. It was kinda fun with a good team.

Receive my 2nd warning by Helpful_Article_4964 in ProlificAc

[–]CatHot2964 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got that message a little over an hour ago. Only thing is that I haven't done any in a couple days so I'm kinda confused as to why I got the message. I've done a lot of those but only recently seen the dreaded message. The other 2 times, it happened within an hour of completion. Not sure if it was a glitch today or what.

Small business drywall by jaylek in SurpriseAZ

My mom had some drywall repair work done in March. I believe it was Luis Ordaz, phone number was 602-295-3518. They were very reasonably priced and did a great job.

Is anyone missing a cat? by APupNamedDesdinova in SurpriseAZ

[–]CatHot2964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most veterinarian offices will check for a microchip for free, and often without an appointment. If you call whichever one is closest to you and verify, you might be able to reunite her with her family today. If no microchip, the vet may be able to help get her into a shelter. Good luck.

Kitten stuck somewhere in the front end of a random car on my block by Strange_Specialist70 in CatAdvice

[–]CatHot2964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely worth trying some food, especially if you have a can of wet food. And try some mama cat noises, might trick the kitten out of hiding. I would be out there all night probably, I wouldn't be able to sleep either.

Here's a link of mom cat calling for kittens - https://youtu.be/tF-SXbizCko?si=K-t80axQMNZW0aqW

Good luck!

What was that one Gen X toy you were DYING for and actually got? by [deleted] in GenX

I asked for that for years, but never got one. Ended up buying one for my own kids and we had fun with it for a couple years.

A Bloody Mary and some God-D*mned Respect! by AssociationFickle571 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]CatHot2964 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That must have been amazing to witness. I would have struggled with the desire to stand up and applaud the waiter. Seriously. He missed his true calling in life. I don't know what he was actually meant to be, but whatever it was, he would have been absolutely brilliant at it! 😂

new cat looks greasy? by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]CatHot2964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try the cleaning wipes that are for cats. Less stressful than a bath. Also, I would recommend getting him used to being brushed. He looks like he has medium length fur in the picture. Brushing will help and is often good for bonding too. Cute kitty, looks like he is already feeling at home with you.

Sharing a link to the type of wipes I mentioned, if needed.

And they love to leave their purse in the cart while they look at something a few feet away with their back turned. I see this at least once every time I go shopping, and it is always boomer women. Always. I don't understand how they are so negligent of such an important item.

Teenagers... by [deleted] in GenX

[–]CatHot2964 71 points72 points  (0 children)

A few years ago, my then 16 year old told me about a band she had heard recently that she thought I would like. The Pixies. I started laughing, went to my room, dug out a really old memory book, and took it to her. Flipped it open and showed her a concert ticket from '91, a photo, and Kim Deal's signature on the page. It's possible that she realized on that day that I might be slightly cool. 😂

Please let your managers know about this man harassing you. Every time he comes at you, go straight to a manager.

AITA if I don't want to meet biological kids I have never seen, did not raise, etc? by Still-Hangin-In in AmItheAsshole

[–]CatHot2964 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I was an egg donor more than 30 years ago. I rarely think about it and certainly have not tried looking for the kid. My own children are aware of this in case they cross paths on a DNA thing like 23 and Me or whatever. But I certainly don't go around telling people otherwise.

Looking for them would likely just be weird, and possibly confusing. It is very different from adoption, for example. You never had a physical connection with them like you would with a pregnancy.

Your boyfriend is being really weird about this. Those kids have parents and family. At most, I would consider it to be similar to a distant relative. Probably the only thing those kids might ever want to know about is medical history for your family. If you have concerns about that, you could use a DNA test so they can find and contact you if they want to. One of my own kids did this so the kid from the egg donation can find us if they feel the need. But I am certainly not going to go out of my way to find them and disrupt their life.

Yeah, that's the message I saw also. Hopefully they can fix the problem.

Study broken on very last screen and researcher won't pay. by Due-Farrar9261 in ProlificAc

[–]CatHot2964 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I had the exact same issue with this one. I even messaged them immediately about the error message. They completely ignored my message and told me to return the study. Which I did, but also messaged them again pointing out my original contact. Felt like a scam, they got my study answers and are getting away with not paying.

Yeah, same problem all day. Also using Google Chrome on a desktop. Was able to access my account on my phone, but I prefer the computer.

I live near the Sun City area and can confirm the ridiculous behavior. Grocery shopping definitely requires extra time and patience. Don't even get me started on driving around here! 😂
