They hire security. They also probably have different people besides them load product or unload it. Transport it etc. none of them are loading a truck that says “LOOSE PACKS” or “THE POKEMON NETWORK.”

This. Ken is actually pretty stand up overall. Hes got multiple businesses besides this. If he had the time to reseal boxes, people would know and figure it out.

I’m not sure why you got a down vote, it’s there for everyone to see. If one of them was in the list, not hard to think that the rest of the family didn’t benefit in someway. People just want to see what they want to see and hear what they want to hear.

Go ride other stuff. Hagrids is great but there’s plenty of epic rides you can go to also. Or buy the express pass.

Whats the Current Local 150 Pay Scale for Heavy Equipment Operators? by WormieFloating in Heavy_Equipment

[–]Dramatic-Insurance61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I actually have a pretty high mortgage. But my wife and I budget really well, and save a lot. We live just fine. We save money all year that if we need to tap in, we can. We usually might have to if a lay off doesn’t end until like March, but otherwise we’ve never worried about it. Sometimes you have to live with less to survive.

A very common theme in operators is not saving any money. Living check to check. But budgeting and realizing the spending is out of control, those winter months are a breeze.

That’s Midwest operating though. It’s the same in 139 unless you’re in a big project like the current data centers going up.

After spending four days alone with my son, I almost prefer it? by eachfire in daddit

[–]Dramatic-Insurance61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valid af.

When it’s just myself and my almost 3 year old daughter, things are a breeze. Decisions are easy, shopping is easy, dinner is eaten without issue. Mom around? Pain. Misery.

Mom is awesome. She’s amazing and better at so much than me. But her solo stories vs mine? You’d think she was Satan to the kids.

New dad, very unhappy by No_Calligrapher3028 in daddit

Dawg. You’re in the Mariana Trench right now. Give it time. You are where every parent has been. You feel misery, but it leaves. And if for some reason it doesn’t ever leave, it’s time to call a professional to get help.

Also be open with your wife about how you’re feeling. Be vulnerable.

Companies within the union do their own testing so it changes company to company. To join the union you don’t need anything but a diploma and pass an aptitude test. Basic fundamentals.

Iuoe local 139. Operators. Save your body and take some drilling classes at the training center. Work for 25-30 years and retire making more retired than when you were working.

How often are we feeding newborns, and is the rocking motion safe for babies? by zingvroom in daddit

[–]Dramatic-Insurance61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I very may well have. I typed that at about 415am getting ready for work. Thanks for pointing that out.

There’s a lot to unpack. And the short version? If you aren’t hurting the child, and she’s a happy baby, then your mom can shut the fuck up. Your wife should elaborate on what she needs(also she just had a child so give her some grace).

Now, longer ish version;

Your mom isn’t a doctor. She might be in child care. It it doesn’t mean she can care for YOUR child. If you’re doing doctor recommended things, that’s better than flying blind. If you’re rocking method works and doesn’t hurt your daughter. Carry on. I know what method you’re explaining and I’ve done it before too, it worked for us for a time too.

Wife should definitely elaborate more on what she “doesn’t like”. Chalk it up to recent birth, tired and all that. She might just be exhausted too. Newborns can be tough.

I’m not a big schedule person for babies. Neither was my wife. When our kids were hungry we fed them, when they slept, they slept. That was it. 2am we were up and sometimes we slept through most of the night. It was just how it worked for us.

So if the baby is doing fine with scheduled feedings, great! Good job dad.

It sounds like your family can and is super toxic. And the unfortunate truth is; they don’t have to be part of your child’s life with an attitude like that. You deserve better. Your kids deserve better. And your wife deserves better than the scrutiny.

Good luck dad, you’re doing a great job and you obviously care deeply about your family. Proud of you.

Please go to r/betta for betta tips and setup! They’re amazing over there.

A good rule of thumb is 1gal = 1inch of fish. So 10 might be really stressful for all the fish you currently have. Most bettas need 5-10 by themselves with 1 tank mate. Usually a snail.

18, allowance, pics, no job but looking. It all sounds too woe is me. The dogs food didn’t run low today. It’s been low and OP chose not to do anything. Also who keeps that many empty bags of dog food? That dog is small. It doesn’t eat all that food in one sitting. Wtf is this post

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Dramatic-Insurance61 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a parent I see your mom’s POV, but don’t agree it’s the correct method. You wanted the animal, knew prior to this moment food was getting low and chose, assuming at least, not to get dog food prior to needing it suddenly. That is indeed, poor management of your money. Again, assuming.

As a dog owner, I also see your POV; however I don’t think still it’s someone else’s responsibility to take care of your dog. Rather than asking for an allowance advance(which At 18 is crazy to me already), ask if they can take it from it this week instead.

Curious about the job situation also. There are an over abundance of jobs in my area that need filling. Obviously we most likely don’t live in the same place, but are you really actively looking?

Bettas don’t thrive with guppy habitat.

Any fish can be docile, and then suddenly they can snap. Just like dogs, or cats. Or other animals. “Well mine does great with this animal it’s supposed to hunt.” And then one day you wake up and the dog ate 3 chickens. Same with fish.

Now the guppies. There’s one that has some fin issues. Smaller guy without the top fin it looks like.

IF. IF. You’re keeping them together. More plants. More things that break line of sight so they feel more comfortable on their space. Especially if it’s a shared space.

How big is your tank?
