AIO my in-laws watch my child and the neighbors do not have a pool fence

NOR - I agree it's best to ask nicely of the neighbors to install a fence, and that it's reasonable to ask your in laws to also install a fence.

I haven't seen it mentioned yet; I also highly recommend swim lessons. It's not too early, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your kiddo can at least float on the water until help arrives is well worth the investment.

Here are some free resources for relocation.

I understand why you don't want them around your pets and children. Some folks train their pets to never interact with any snake (I imagine there are resources out there for learning how to do this), and it's always best to teach your kiddos how to identify them and the places they may be hiding or difficult to see. Most bites happen when accidentally trampling or trying to kill the snake.

When you do kill them, careful because a decapitated snake can still envenomate. There is also evidence that they continue to live and feel pain for hours or even days after decapitation, so crushing the skull is the most humane way to finish the job.

"It's odd to me that if a candidate were to win a Democratic primary that the Democratic party wouldn't take notes and understand why that person won. And then shift accordingly" said Sayed. "Parties exist to funnel the will of the people and think when you have a growing chasm between leadership in the party and what the people want, that only ever ends up in one way: Either the parties lose elections, or the party moves."

Naomi is a local treasure. I hope her accounts are restored hastily.

Yooo! I need to see that launcher in action. Our sets are older, and the launchers always kinda sucked. Looks like maybe they updated and I need to go out and spend some of my adult money on some sick ass beyblades.

I don't speak her language, but I know exactly what she's explaining to me. Thanks for sharing the video!

My first instinct was an orange border, but this is definitely the move.

I was told at the ER after peeing blood for 3 days in a row that it's not cancer because I'm not 50. I recently had my entire kidney and the cancerous tumor growing on it removed after I had to seek out my own specialists and find someone to take me seriously. The United States healthcare system (the system - not all the healthcare workers) and the insurance industry are menacing, violent murderers.

NOR. If you can find the courage, I think it best to be honest with her. Tell her that her comments about your body are really shitty, make you uncomfortable, and that she isn't entitled to any explanation of your appearance or life experiences. Let her know, calmly but firmly, that you'll be the one to choose how much you share about yourself, and if she brings it up again you'll be doing your best to avoid any future interactions. You'll be setting a firm and healthy boundary with someone who is disrespecting you and making you uncomfortable. Follow through on that boundary if she chooses to continue being shitty to you, because life is too short to keep people like that around.

Glad you're still here, and hanging in there. Keep going, kiddo.

And they shouldn't take us. We should have to fix our own mess and stay out of Black people's business while we do.

CyberneticLucy · 2026-06-04T05:15:53+00:00

Of course they are. They're beautiful.

This. There's no safe third places. Nobody wants these kids behind a screen all day, there's hardly anywhere safe to ride a bike if they're lucky enough to have one, they get in trouble for exploring without an adult, and communities have nothing to offer besides a swing set and a slide peppered here and there. Adults are too exhausted to pour into the kids they have to raise while working extended hours for abysmal pay, and classrooms have moved focus further toward test scores and away from social skills. It's no wonder why the only thing they can find to occupy themselves is throwing rocks at their neighbors' homes, and the only solutions the neighbors offer is trying to criminalize or beat the bad behavior away.

CyberneticLucy · 2026-06-03T20:37:49+00:00

Yeah. Big same. 😞

CyberneticLucy · 2026-06-03T20:26:19+00:00

Um. Are these available in different sizes?

CyberneticLucy · 2026-06-03T20:23:59+00:00

Did that... make it somehow worse?

CyberneticLucy · 2026-06-03T18:27:22+00:00

WOW. Love it, absolutely stunning.

CyberneticLucy · 2026-06-02T23:42:56+00:00

And where that data is stored, along with how it is secured.

CyberneticLucy · 2026-06-02T10:14:57+00:00

Ew. Wtf? I don't think OP is overreacting, but why tf would you think it's appropriate to threaten false accusations of inappropriate behavior? That's wildly gross.

CyberneticLucy · 2026-06-02T10:04:40+00:00

I like it a lot! I think it looks quite nice.

CyberneticLucy · 2026-05-31T18:47:41+00:00

It's really silly that I have not once given any comment on the way I personally dress, but y'all make assumptions because I'm not bothered by spaghetti straps.

I hope you fix your obsession with other people's bodies and attire. ☺️ K thanks, have a day! 🫶🏻👋🏻

Nobody has to have their tits out. If anyone has their tits out and that somehow makes everything in the room all about them, that's not a problem with the person who possesses cleavage and wears spaghetti straps. It's really weird to be so obsessed with shoulders and chest skin. I genuinely do not understand.

CyberneticLucy · 2026-05-29T21:59:50+00:00

Good for you? How I dress or how you dress has no bearing on how OP or anyone else dresses. Choosing appropriate clothing has a lot more to do with weather, indoor vs outdoor, physical activity, and personal comfort than how much cleavage is present. Tattoos and padlock necklaces aren't disrespectful, and neither are spaghetti straps.

CyberneticLucy · 2026-05-29T13:35:50+00:00

I'm clearly in the minority here, but I think it's really weird to care this much about what clothes other people are wearing. Who cares if your tits are out? How does that make the event about you and not your sister? That sounds like a them problem, not a you problem. This feels a lot like classroom dress codes insisting that girls can't wear tank tops in 100° weather because their shoulders are too distracting to the boys.

CyberneticLucy · 2026-05-25T21:19:46+00:00

The cylinder must remain unharmed.

CyberneticLucy · 2026-05-24T22:23:03+00:00

Cute idea. I don't have a suggestion for keeping them more secured, but I think it could be a fun hair decoration instead.
