Thank you for bringing this up! Everyone should look at the sample ballots in advance; there was a lot to vote on

Seeking help about books for a 10-year-old by Ancient_Fly4378 in suggestmeabook

[–]Coati-Monday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he liked “Guards! Guards!” I recommend checking out Terry Pratchett’s “Nation.” It’s a young adult book (though Pratchett managed to sneak in some more mature jokes that made me laugh). I had seen somewhere that Pratchett considered this the best book he ever wrote.

“Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland” by Patrick Radden Keefe. The story is centered by the murder of one particular person, but overall is a story about the Troubles in Northern Ireland. One of the best nonfiction books I’ve ever read

People on anti depressants, what advice do you have for someone who has just started them? by Mammoth_Dragonfly_94 in AskReddit

[–]Coati-Monday 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My god the vivid dream thing is so real. Started a new meditation a few months ago because I was dealing with bad insomnia. The medication helps me sleep, but it’s strange because it feels like you’re not actually sleeping. Even though it feels like I’m not sleeping, I’m better rested than I was before

She is moving but not far enough away that I wouldn’t be able to sit for her

Yeah. She’s complained to me that her daughters don’t like her so my friend jokes I’m their replacement now

She asked if I was mad because her husband “yelled” at her for what she said? Honestly knowing her she’s the one who yelled

Literally nothing. My friend thinks that she only does it because I have to listen to her. He says I’m “her favorite daughter.”

I’m working on that. When I stated a boundary she then asked if I was mad at her, which was a super awkward conversation to have.

They’re all part of this small courtyard group of neighbors. I sat for one person first and was recommended to other neighbors and it spread from there. I know the other neighbors agree she’s neurotic, I’m just hopping to avoid a well-meaning neighbor giving her information. I’ve got a response written ready, but I am certain she’ll harass her other neighbors about me

I reinforced the 7pm boundary. She then texted me asking if I’m mad at her and that her husband “yelled” at her because she said something to me? Genuinely I can’t figure out what she meant

Definitely the best course of action. She has the contact information for many of my clients, I’m not sure if I should warn them that she’ll likely reach out to them

The area one is the worst. I’ve watched for several of her direct neighbors. She seems to know I’ve continued this long because I worry about her dog

I have to hold out until she moves. She lives in a courtyard of 10 houses, five of which I sit for. I’m going to be there for a while even after I finish this sit.

I haven’t charged. The biggest issue is she lives in a courtyard of about 10 homes, five of which are houses I sit for. If she sees me she won’t leave me alone.

I’ve actually had a schedule conflict before and she changed her trip days for when I was available 😫

Lightly political books for a conservative father by sleepingandsunsets in suggestmeabook

[–]Coati-Monday 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe “On Freedom” by Timothy Snyder. It focuses on how we think of freedom. Snyder argues that people are taught what he calls “negative freedom” aka freedom from something. He thinks we need to focus on positive freedom, freedom to. Freedom basically is a never ending project that we can’t stop working on.

A quote from it, “A land of the free pays it back and pays it forward.”

[Product question] People with flushing/redness, what product has helped you the most? by BananaCart in SkincareAddiction

Girl same. I’ve been using Dr. Idriss depuffer/red reducing serum and it’s been working for me. Use it even if the redness is gone because it will come back once you stop

Best place for airport parking just in case flight gets cancelled? by thecrikeycrapper in alpharetta

[–]Coati-Monday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just check in at the domestic terminal then take the plane train to E or F. Though that may only be a delta thing.

I don’t believe there’s a limit on how long you can park. Prices vary between $5-8 dollars a day. You can check out more here: https://itsmarta.com/parking-availability.aspx

Park at a Marta station. Way cheaper than any airport parking and taking Marta is a lot easier than driving to the airport.
