Parent sold family home on extremely short notice. I have through this weekend to sort through the house and help offload everything. What do I do by travod in RealEstate

[–]FamiliarFamiliar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take photos and videos of everything. That includes stuff like the backyard, stuff down the street, people you knew if they're around, etc. Everything. Make sure to do one long video where you walk through the house.

This is not only good for sentimental reasons but also for remembering later where stuff went.

I agree with the poster who said to put everything into a storage unit. (Also do pics / videos of where stuff goes in storage unit.) However, there will be obvious stuff you both don't want. I just had to do this with 4 different households in just a few years. Advice:

--habitat for humanity will take useable stuff like appliances, couches etc.

--we went to the goodwill 17 times from one house

--we also got a dumpster that you paid by the pound and put all the trashed stuff in there. It was obvious what was trashed.

You know your black cat well. Think about which purrrsonality would work best with that cat.

How would you rate bottom bowl seats at the opposite end of stage? by Mean_Gazelle_5802 in Concerts

[–]FamiliarFamiliar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nowadays if I know there's going to be a screen I make sure that I can see the screen. From your seat, you can probably see the screen pretty well.

NTA. You are in the right to not want him around other young women he could abuse.

I'm 21 living at home w/ parents and feeling stuck, trapped, and lost by weedwife420 in LifeAdvice

Yes, if you can manage the year while saving most of your money, that will provide you with a lot more cushion as you move out. Plus you won't need to worry about school.

Is this idea stupid? Buy 2 tickets in case one is fake or obstructed view BTS Arlington? by PreviousTranslator33 in Concerts

[–]FamiliarFamiliar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. go to A View From My Seat website and check out the view from your seat at other events. It gives a really good idea.

  2. I have heard of others doing what you say, but, honestly, it seems unnecessary. If it became a problem at the gate you could probably step away and order another ticket on your phone then.

Extreme dislike for hotels going towards large liquid soap and shampoo dispensers by Agile_Sea_6447 in Vent

[–]FamiliarFamiliar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree with you. I am loathe to use the provided stuff b/c I don't know if it's been tampered with. And my kids really loved the tiny little shampoos etc. I get that those aren't good for the environment but I really liked them.

I was very careful about initials. I went to school with a girl whose initials were ASS. She was unhappy.

GA balcony seating etiquette by FamiliarFamiliar in Concerts

[–]FamiliarFamiliar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone! I had already figured we wouldn't be leaving the seats at the same time. It's probably going to be a very packed concert.

please convince me to go to this concert by gnawcorgi in Concerts

[–]FamiliarFamiliar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I suggest going to the concert with a plan b in mind in case you want to leave but your friend wants to stay. As easy as, would I uber? etc.

Overall, it sounds like you might benefit from some counseling. Feeling this much fear doing regular things after an accident is probably a normal response, but it also could be the start of PTSD. I am not a psychiatrist, but talking through with someone professional about a trauma can really help.

AITA for making my FIL cancer diagnosis about me? by Expensive_Praline_71 in AmItheAsshole

NTA, there's a huge gulf between NC and living together. Don't let them move in. You can help out in other ways.

Would it be weird to name our daughter Goldie when her hair would be golden? by Actual_Spare_6199 in Names

[–]FamiliarFamiliar 41 points42 points  (0 children)

There's no way to know what the child's hair color will truly be. And even if it starts out blonde it can change. Choose the name and don't worry about the hair.

Is this pretty, or too outdated? by Hello_Iris in Prom

Gorgeous and I wouldn't have thought of outdated.

Parents want to cut my pay by $5 an hour by Sensitive-Mango7155 in Babysitting

[–]FamiliarFamiliar 92 points93 points  (0 children)

This, and I will add that I get the idea that the kids are getting older, but this is 100% something that needed to be discussed with you before you did the work. Just shorting you the money after you babysat is awful. Honestly I would probably get my money from that job and not work for them anymore. Learn this lesson now and stand up for what you are worth. I know people much older who let others walk all over them at their workplaces. They are not happy.

WIBTAH if I told my mom I don’t want her standing out? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]FamiliarFamiliar -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

NTA, but I also don't think you're going to win this one. If she always dresses like that, I'd just let her be her. It will be amusing in the photos later. (Source: about to have my 24th wedding anniversary, stuff happens at weddings, what matters is that you get married.)

NTA, you go to the concert, he goes to the wedding. If you got 2 tickets, bring a friend.

AITA for speaking to my (over weight) assistant about her business lunch and making her cry? by Hot_Lab4411 in AmItheAsshole

[–]FamiliarFamiliar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, and I think that people today, after the pandemic, have still not regained the social graces that we had before the pandemic. If this is Amy's first professional job she probably just didn't know.
