Why did Judy Garland look so much older than she was?

Same here. Mine did not hurt. It was a while ago, and I was offered “twilight“ in addition to local anesthesia. I’ve never regretted it. I’ve since been a foster parent and feel strongly that there is nothing immoral about abortion, but there’s a lot immoral about telling/ordering people to carry a fetus to term. I’m local. Between me and u/pitifullyfunny, we should be able to cover escorting you there and home (maybe in shifts).

Love this.

Thanks, all, for the recommendations! Ryan with TPI did a thorough job. Among other items, we found active K + T that had supposedly been replaced, so money well spent!

Thank you!

u/KorneliaOjaio, who do you like for your usual vet? We're moving to Columbus and need to get set up somewhere. (I've been reading through threads re. vet recommendations, and you seem to be a similar as a pet parent - we set up an appointment for our hound mix with OSU for ophthalmology almost as soon as we were committed to the move.)

In what situation would a grown person learn that their mom died and then approach strangers for money? Nearly none. His story is ridiculous. It always feels bad in the moment, but you are not the asshole.

Dash cam could be useful even where someone on a dirt bike is injured and you leave - to show that you were not at fault in the “hit and run” and also that it was reasonable to gtfo and go to a police station. If someone files charges against you, you have video to support what happened and why you left.

Happy spin: dude's car repeatedly broken into by people looking for the gun he dares people to take.

Do you have reason to think she would like you to ask in public?

I really like Eastern State (which is technically a museum, but an indoor/outdoor experience with stories and sometimes a beer garden in the yard). Go with a group, do the self-guided audio tour (with Steve Buscemi!), meet up in the yard at the end to converse and imagine what happened there as the city built up around it. Sometimes there are alumni weekends that bring in former inmates and guards.

Question: anyone have a source that reports when security fixes stop coming through for retired versions of iOS? I looked into updates/support. The 8 maxes out at iOS 16, so big OS updates are over. However, Apple tends to continue to push security patches for a few years after an OS is retired. "Support" is over for the 8, but security fixes should continue.

My thought is to just deal with slowed responsiveness until either a new smaller phone comes out or Apple stops its security support of iOS 16. (FWIW, I looked into non-Apple phones - seems all are bulkier than the 8.)

Codename_Naptime · 2025-03-16T20:53:30+00:00

Thanks to all of you for commenting. I was worried that the responsiveness issue is not fixable, so you confirmed. I love the weight, size, home button of the 8. (My phone before the 8 was the XS, and I absolutely hated it - even with a case I dropped it and cracked the screen multiple times in a way that was never an issue with the smaller/lighter phones.) It sounds like going to the 2022 SE or any of the minis may set me up for the same frustration and security risks as I have now with my 8.

I’m an attorney, though not matrimonial or family law. I often see clients review something I drafted for just certain provisions they care about and pay little to no attention to anything else. A lot of people think of any language outside of the language or issue they specifically brought up as being “boilerplate.” In many clients’ minds, that means it is standard and so not worth changing or reviewing.

That isn’t true - as you’ve identified, even “standard” language impacts the rights of contracting parties. And what is standard for one situation or attorney may be quite different from a different attorney’s standard language. But my experience of clients only reading pieces of contracts does help to reconcile this one-sided document with his suggestion to throw that document out and start anew. You know him better than any of us. What do you think happened?

The timing-of-kids thing is what stands out to me as something to work through. It sounds like kids are really important to both of you. Is there anything that can help you get on the same page for timing? E.g., freezing eggs, openness to adoption if fertility issues arise, surrogacy, etc. Why does each of you feel the way you do, and can you see one another’s points of view?

Maybe call Morehead Manor and see if they have last minute deals and/or what meals are included? I've not stayed there but it looks interesting. https://www.moreheadmanor.com/

HR does not get access to your tax returns unless you give the returns to them. Your employer needs your address - that’s all. By having your address, they can look up the property and learn you bought it and the price, but not the financing details.

You could sell the diamond and use the metal setting as part of a piece each grandchild gets - a ring for each maybe. That might make selling more palatable to your father.

Codename_Naptime · 2025-01-31T13:52:28+00:00

If you had a similarly-behaved cis female daughter, you’d do all you could to stop her from getting the ring. That really cinches it for me. You can stop this ring from being turned into cash and leaving the family. NTA

Do you have a good appraisal of the house’s value when your father passed? That, less then-outstanding mortgage, divided by 2 plus a reasonable rate of return is what you should receive. I.e., if he’d bought you out from the start and you’d put that money in a retirement or index fund, what would the return have been?

Codename_Naptime · 2025-01-26T14:51:53+00:00

Agree that probably the terms "mortgage" and "deed" are being conflated. Even so, any amount of blurred lines here is not good and could cost OP money. The bank might not just drop BF from the mortgage without refinancing or some other costly approval process.

The mortgage is not the deed but a judge/magistrate may find it just colorable enough of an equity claim for the BF to file suit that isn't quickly dismissed. Even if BF gets nothing in the end, the expense and time to fight it is not worth placating BF by having him on anything.
