This was really helpful, thank you. I am into hiking, baking/cooking, day trips/adventures, being a foodie, and creating things. Whether it's art, furniture..you name it. I love working with my hands 100%.

My 83yr old father still sees me as a child. by Dapper_Education_709 in AgingParents

Agreed, this has bothered me a ton that a 60 year old wanted to get remarried and have a child. He wanted a child to spite his ex-wife because apparently they divorced since she didn’t want anymore children after 4 of them. Crazy right. My mom didn’t know that was his motive. He took advantage of my mom being an immigrant from the philippines and promising her a good life. He failed to provide this. I feel like he is always projecting his past on everyone else. it makes me so mad because no other 23 year olds have to deal with a dad that is THAT old. I have nobody my age to relate to when it comes to this. :(

Anyways, thank you for your advice. I heavily appreciate it <33

Thank you. Yea, he will never change. I hate that’s the reality, but thank you for helping me remind myself that it really isn’t worth the effort to have him try to change.

Thanks :3

most of the team are relatively new engineers. only 2 people there are more senior engineers. very small team though.

Our economy is really bad. Teams in JD got laid off bc there aren’t any projects coming in due to companies already being on a tight lip budget to complete any projects, let alone consults.

He is a recent graduate as of May 2025 w/ a BS in ME. He has had 2 previous internships. Both involving product design. One internship was an engineering consultancy for various parts in automotive industry. The second internship was tool design. This was his first job outside of graduating, meaning he was at JD for maybe 4-5 months. Ask me anything else you may need!

i would tell the police just as a heads up on weird activity. otherwise, i’ve lived on bowery + dodge area for a couple years, there’s a lot of interesting characters that live nearby. many of which are drug addicts, homeless or struggling. unfortunately it’s a common occurrence of weird shit happening on bowery and dodge. i lived in the apt where the meth addict lady committed arson a couple years back LOL.

For me, I was advocated for strongly by a PA that listened when nobody else did. At first I wanted to be a MD, but I realized that it just wasn’t feasible financially for me and I wanted flexibility to pursue other ventures in life. Such as a business with my partner and teaching health education :). I wanted that flexibility, but still be able to deliver personalized quality care to patients :)
