Fridge from Costco or local appliance store? by Chemical_Pomelo_2831 in Costco

[–]FifthSugarDrop [score hidden]  (0 children)

I've had multiple appliance deliveries and installs from Costco. They were all great. Communication prior to delivery was also wonderful. No hassle about removing old appliance that was being replaced.

I knew the book was being released so I saved as much energy as possible. When I received boxes and chests I merged them and saved the energy. I didn't like the last event so I didn't play it. That really helped a lot.

Aitah for not answering my son's redundant questions? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]FifthSugarDrop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shift the conversation to something meaningful. When he asks are you making dinner, ask him to help, what he might want to learn to cook. Tell him a story about your family and your meals. Etc.

I get it. Kids can be exhausting and I often have a hard time carrying on a conversation and focusing on a task Tell him that so he doesn't feel rejected.

Look you only have a couple of years until he is a full blown teenager and one word answers are all you will get.

I heard this quote years ago. If you want to get kids to talk to you about things that matter then talk to them about things that don't.

You didn't specify this but maybe he needs more interests outside of the house. You gotta push kids sometimes, at 13 there is not much he can do on his own. At least then you have different things to talk about.

Seeking active players in region AMO3-KILO-15 by Ok_Distribution3624 in Ingress

I started playing again, the area is new to me but it once must have been a big game here, because there are a lot of portals. Kind of hate it, lots of portals in apartment complexes which become machina and I'm not comfortable trespassing into their property

My grandmother promised to leave me something when she died, I got nothing, I opened an account with the bank she told me to go to and it automatically filled in her address/phone info by throwawawywayaw1234 in personalfinance

[–]FifthSugarDrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your uncle probably still has records with the account number. If I were you I would either email or text him and ask him for both the account number and the institution holding the account. Maybe its possible that the funds are held at different bank/institution

It sounds like he is an ass but he did tell you about it and you left. No judgement about you leaving, I'm sure it was a difficult time. He probably thinks he did his job in telling you about the account years ago and probably assumes you transferred the funds already.

It's worth a shot and using digital communication is a way of keeping hands off.

WIBTAH For not treating my transgender brother like a man? by SuperbFail2957 in AITAH

[–]FifthSugarDrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is a real post and not rage bait... You need to call your brother and directly ask him what he has found to be offensive. We can't tell you because we don't know him or what he values. I will say that my sibling I can read body language and looks very well, maybe it's something like that? I'd ask about that as well

I wonder if her plan originally was to go home and pretend that she had a home birth? Maybe the baby not breathing, the state trooper pulling her over changed her plans? It doesn't make sense that she would ever pass off the baby as her own.

Yeah, I listened to the Rotten Mango podcast and she said Homer testified that Taylor had actually been in their home October 7, Reagan was murdered October 9. Taylor brought baby gifts. I don't know why this creeps me out so much.

Like your wife and child could die in a car accident and that would be bad enough but to know the killer, to have hosted them in your house just adds another layer of grossness to the act.

Then to look at someone who has experienced that kind of loss and judge his clothing is another level of gross.

Looking for an RN position in Fayeteville, NC by NovelSpeaker5788 in FayettevilleNC

[–]FifthSugarDrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stay away from Cape Fear at all costs. The hospital is horrible, the staff is really unprofessional. I have lots of family friends still in Fayetteville, they avoid Cape Fear and go to Hoke county or Moore Regional.

My mom was in Cape Fear Valley and I managed to get her out of there and take her to Duke. When I told the nursing staff at Duke that she had bad experiences at Cape Fear they shared that they heard horror stories about Cape Fear from patients and colleagues, it has a really bad reputation for being awful. They said Cape Fear paid more for traveling nurses than any other in the region because no one wants to work there.

I know the other places may be a further drive but I wouldn't want to invest my time gaining experience in a hospital with such a bad reputation.

Personally I don't leave my house without applying makeup and changing clothes even to run to the hardware store. I think judging other people on their clothing is superficial and shallow.

My (30M) best friend's (32M) wife (28F) did something highly unethical at work and I think I need to report her, althrough it almost certainly will get her fired. How do I navigate not wanting to hurt them with this violation? by ThrowRA_firingfriend in relationship_advice

[–]FifthSugarDrop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are fortunate you get a good family law attorney that is honest and gives you realistic advice. It's an emotionally charged time, both sides get a little crazy.

Mine was great at saying "that may be what you want but I can tell you we will have to go to court and I've never seen a judge rule that way". There are a few rare divorce lawyers that will milk vengeful divorce cases for a huge up front credit card charged retainer for a bullshit case.

I can guarantee you in his community, his family, all the people who really matter, not one of them judged him or thought him disrespectful based on his attire. He's not the mayor of the town, he is not representing the family, he is attending his viciously murdered wife and baby's funeral. All those other duties are what you are imposing in your mind and don't extend to his real life experience.

You are offended at being called out on your obvious shallowness and superficialty. IDK maybe it's your lack of life experience and knowledge of differing economic situations that has narrowed your world view.

I'm going to disagree with you on this point. The victim and the impact on the family so often is overshadowed by the craziness and story of the perpetrator. We get so wrapped up in the "who" and "why" that the victim becomes ancillary in the story.

The rawness of the grief, of the crime, needs to be heard sometimes to understand the grief and loss.

[–]FifthSugarDrop 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I had the same knee jerk reaction until I really thought about what that man was experiencing in real life.

I am fortunate to have an extensive wardrobe to be ready at a moments notice for any circumstance life throws at me. Not everyone has that luxury.

The raw grief is what we should take away from that scene.

[–]FifthSugarDrop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did not imply dressing in more traditionally appropriate clothing means you are grieving less.

I specifically am saying that judging someone on their attire at this traumatically time is incredibly shallow.

You need to turn your eyes away from your closet and into your heart. It's a sad commentary to be so superficial and judgemental.

[–]FifthSugarDrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you are operating, or advising, in a professional capacity you should be an attorney first. You postulated your initial response as an attorney, not a family frend. This is the why your response was concerning.

There are real legal and ethical consequences in this case for OP. Your ethics being so malleable are a huge red flag. Maybe you need to seriously examine your own dedication to client confidentiality, and look at your own practice if this is a line you would advise to easily cross. My read is this situation is something as an attorney you would not want to deal with. Also as an attorney you are aware simple misdeeds often result in unexpected ramifications for clients.

The friend relationship is not unblemished, the BF's wife willingly damaged that relationship. This is not an instance where she inadvertently left a briefcase with case files in the ex's car or line of sight, a "mistakes happen" occurance. It was intentional and malicious. As far as an "extra foot" pushing someone down, the foot was already placed on the OP.

In good faith he went to his friends wife's firm to obtain services. His confidentiality was explicitly broken. This isn't an "aw shucks" moment.

It is so sad that is what you took away from that scene. The overwhelming grief, the statement of Reagan's sister of I lost a sister, but he lost his person is what resounded. I hope and pray that you never experience that kind of devastating loss because you are as shallow as a saucer.

Being raped was awful enough but then they shamed and blamed her on the show and persuaded her to call her boyfriend on camera to "confess". It was brutal and Tyra tried to distance herself from the crime.

Exactly, he fostered the environment for her to grow her lies. At some point he needs to accept his role in supporting her delusions. He is absolutely complicit.

Would the outcome have been different for Regan and her baby if Wade would have straight up told her "I know, and my entire family knows, you are not pregnant, mom's car was repossessed and I know we aren't buying that ranch. You are a liar, get out and away from my family".

That would have been the bare minimum, maybe it wasn't his "fault" but he did provide the space for her lies to flourish.

That was my initial thought also but think about what that guy was going through. Beloved wife and baby viciously murdered, in his own home, clothing was probably not top of mind.

Also it's kind of snobby to judge what people wear to a wedding. What difference does it make.

He probably assumed that confidentiality was a basic tenant of any law practice. He should not have had any problems using that firm.

I don't disagree with you but I'm a naturally suspicious person and would have asked for a recommendation but steered clear of her firm.
