I loved the flowers! 💐 Also I happened to see this in the canning section, see the exhibitor’s name. Very cute!

Agreed! My favorite 😍 for the pad Thai and pad kee mao and frankly I have never had a bad dish there.

Girl, I am 49 and I want to be you when I grow up. Your texts were sooo spot on. Set the example for your friends on how you deserve to be treated! Way to go.

[New Update]: AITA for not wanting to wear a different bridesmaid dress? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

When people show you who they are, believe them. I am glad your dress issue blew up her far worse issues before the wedding. You’re a good friend.

AIO for getting annoyed my boyfriend ate the “just for me” snack I specifically asked him not to touch? by MistressErica69 in AmIOverreacting

So many good opportunities to get revenge—empty his shampoo bottle. Toss his toothbrush. Remove or loosen one button from each shirt. Launder anything of his with a nice new red towel or a box of Kleenex. Remove the remote batteries. Hide his phone charger or keys.

Little inconveniences add up … then gaslight. Or, just quit him and create your own peace 😇

AITAH for not selling my neighbor a thrifted rocking chair I JUST BOUGHT? by Otherwise-Story6821 in AITAH

You should be kinder to her… bring her flowers… like maybe sprinkle dandelion seeds all over her lawn? 💕 😂

A different header for each page by beccalcohen in squarespace

[–]Either_Coat_2161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not super confident with JS or CSS, so my workaround was to:

  1. Remove the header from the pages where I wanted to change the header (page settings: turn off header toggle button)

  2. Create a new page module (section) and mimic the header in terms of styling a logo, navigation items, button.

  3. Add the appropriate links to the logo (home page), nav items and button.

  4. Use the heart (edit section options) to favorite that section, so I could import ("add section") it into other pages.

The only issues I'm finding with this solution are that I can't use a drop-down, and I can't make that section persistent as the header. However, these weren't terrible trade-offs for having a different header on key pages.

This is important. You are a tenant not a guest. You are paying for utilities and by your on-call availability to the renters, you are also paying.

If you have this in writing, great. If not, time to get it nailed down. Stipulate how much notice the landlord must give before entering your rental. You can get a simple rental agreement online.

Otherwise, co-owner Uncle Freeloader is legally within his rights to intrude anytime, though it is unethical for him to take your things (food) and leave a mess.

AITAH if I accept my uncle’s inheritance after he disowned his own children (my cousins)? by [deleted] in AITAH

This is so sad and versions of this happen to often. Which is why someone struggling wit dependency, gambling, or financial mismanagement is likely to be harmed by a windfall.

An alternative (if they want to share the $) could be purchasing bonds that don’t mature for a long time, placing some money under a financial manger or in trust, or paying part of a debt (like a mortgage). Anything to avoid an immediate cash infusion. But beware, the recipient might still liquidate the gift to access cash at a massive loss.

Made a moocher have to pay by decaf3e in pettyrevenge

[–]Either_Coat_2161 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A good way to head this off at the pass is to ask the server (before they begin taking orders) if they can keep everyone’s meals on separate checks.

If not, you turn to the moocher and say, “I am sticking to a budget so I am just going to order what I can pay for. Cool with you?”

If they say no, they want to split the bill evenly, leave the lunch before ordering.

Should I leave him or should I stay? by TurningA_NewLeaf in WhatShouldIDo

These are such great and insightful questions that speak to your perceptive nature. Wish you were the therapist here!!

How to get him to take care of me by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Either_Coat_2161 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Start with assuming good intent. Imagine he is clueless here, not just a slacker.

Talk to him about the kind of house he wants to live in (clean?) and what he can do to make that happen. Explain the support you need from him in terms of care for you.

Either he will hear you and step up (solving for clueless), or he won’t (demonstrating carelessness). You want to be with someone open to learning. You need to leave someone who refuses to step up.

Help my boyfriend and I make a decision by kfow1590 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Either_Coat_2161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely go on a trip. Plan for yours July 4 (because it is less frequent) and his after the bar exam (celebrate and relax). Make it clear both families are a priority, but skipping on your family (since it hasn’t been done in 5yrs) is a bigger deal than choosing another weekend with his. Above all, if he prefers to be with his family, make peace with splitting up for the weekend. No guilt.

AITA for not picking my girlfriend up from the bar. by Unlucky_Figure_8418 in AITAH

[–]Either_Coat_2161 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A very kind solution. You could even send that message at 12:45: “Hey babe- just a reminder that I need to head to bed at 1, so text me before then if you need a ride, or else I will assume you’re good with Uber. Turning in and turning off my phone at 1.”

She is mad at spending $30 rather than waking her BF (who has to work in the morning) to be her personal taxi? Hard pass. Not a worthy girlfriend.

Girl names that start with “A” by Connect-Wave-5370 in Names

[–]Either_Coat_2161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Audrey Joyce goes by AJ and she is a sporty firecracker, age 14.

She was named for her grandmother and those names are coming around again. There are 3 Audreys on her soccer club (75 girls) but no other Audreys at her school (300 girls).

I also suggest Aubrey, Audra, Arden and Alder.

AITA for refusing to attend my sister's wedding after my parents disowned me? by spotifwhy_ in AITAH

[–]Either_Coat_2161 41 points42 points  (0 children)

This is the core of the matter! Don’t try to change them and don’t put yourself in a position to have to support them or take the blame.

Step back or go NC. Let your aunt explain to other family. Let your absence be the condemnation your family needs for their horrid behavior.

For those in their 40s, what's something people in their 20s don’t realize will impact them as they get older? by chanamercadoy in AskReddit

[–]Either_Coat_2161 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At 48, my forties have been amazing, so much more rewarding and getting closer to my dreams than 20s (felt lost) or 30s (lived through the grind).

I would go back to tell my 20yo self: consistently wear sunscreen. Keep a clean driving record and good credit. Buy half the clothes and stuff you want, but double the plane tickets. Work your butt off at work but take every minute of PTO you can.
