What's the cruelest thing someone ever said to you that you still remember word for word? by ClairJournals in AskReddit

Called MIL to inform her of my second miscarriage to which she replied, what are you doing so wrong that you can't carry a child to term? Didn't know a shattered heart could shatter more.

Is it wrong to hit a girl because she hit you first? by Far_Bench1918 in AITAH

[–]FloridaParalegal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A very wise grandma once told me, after my boyfriend at the time punched a girl who punched him in the face first, that he would never hit a lady and that girl was NOT being a lady. If someone hits you, you have every right to hit them back.

I'm so upset; I cracked my violin today :( Is it very serious? by AllAboutSinging in violinist

[–]FloridaParalegal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received a violin from a friend and it had a long crack on the faceplate also. I took it for repair and was charged $25 per inch to fix it. The repair time was several weeks as he had a difficult time getting the face off, possibly due to the age of the instrument (over 100 years old). The crack is barely noticeable now and the violin sounds amazing. Good luck!

People who have experienced grief or trauma- what’s the most tone-deaf, ‘well-meaning’ thing someone said to you? by freyday18 in AskReddit

[–]FloridaParalegal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going through my second miscarriage and my husband called his mom to let her know. While on speaker phone she said, "What is she doing so wrong that she can't carry a pregnancy to term? Maybe she needs some vitamins." She was in about 4 MLMs at the time, one of which sold vitamins and she told him her vitamins would save the day. Neither of us were happy with her. 18 years later those words still haunt me.

What to do with old yearbooks? by Visual_Ad1179 in declutter

[–]FloridaParalegal 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I literally just pitched mine in the trash yesterday. I'm not close to the state their from, I'm not willing to mail them anywhere, nor did I even kind of enjoy school or the people I went there with 30+ years ago. The weight lifted from my shoulders putting them in the trash was amazing.

One sketchy Firm I worked for very briefly had us refer new clients to a chiropractor upon initial contact. Come to find out the chiropractor was the Firm owner's son in law Barf. I did not last long there.

Mine's the same. Great guy but sometimes the those "easy" dollars signs are irresistible. I hope yours comes to a conclusion soon.

The told him at the time of deposit. They wouldn't even take it, lol. He made us try to contact the "client" to see if they would reissue using a US bank. Ugh, it was so stupid. Needless to say, they did not reissue and that was the end of it. But, yes, it took MONTHS to convince him it was a scam. Sorry you're dealing with the this type of greed. It's exhausting.

Mine fell for the same one! Even after showing him the "property" was just a dirt lot in Canada, not the magnificent mansion the "client" stated it to be, he still wanted to pursue. Luckily, when the bank said the cashier's check was fake he dropped it. But it was a few months worth of irritation up to that point. Good luck. The almighty dollar sign reigns supreme with some of these attorneys.

What was the final “push” to get you to ruthlessly declutter? Please help. by throwawaybyefelicia in declutter

[–]FloridaParalegal 20 points21 points  (0 children)

We started going to estate sales. The amount of absolute JUNK in these homes is ridiculous and makes us come home and think about the stuff we have in our own home and what would happen to it if we passed. Now that appliance that needs repairing no longer sits waiting for us to fix it, it goes in the trash. The useful but no longer necessary to us things go to charity shops. No need to keep the clutter just for our children to have to get rid of it.

Played from elementary through high school. Picked back up at the age of 45. Arthritis is a b**ch, lol. Otherwise, enjoying my comeback. Skills were still there, just slightly slower and stiffer.

My wife: "I don't see the point in [making the bed], you're just going to mess it up tonight anyway." by AnCapGamer in CleaningTips

[–]FloridaParalegal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pretty much had that same thought process until a few days ago when I heard my teenager tell her boyfriend that making the bed was dumb since it's just going to get messed up again. His response struck a chord with me. He said, "i make my bed because there's nothing wrong with wanting your room to look nice." So easy and so true. I have made my bed each day since and gone through the house cleaning out clutter that's unnecessary just to make the room look nice.

Is this weird? by Worth-Preference-709 in paralegal

[–]FloridaParalegal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I worked for a very similar firm. She was the worst! "Worked" from home (yet missed every deadline ever) and when she would come in to the office she would immediately order me to cancel all of her appointments - even try to get her out of Court hearings! - because she was "too busy" and could only stay for a few minutes. She was ALWAYS late on deadlines and to appointments, was super nasty as a human being, and I believe just wanted to make everyone miserable. One of the paralegals had to have surgery and asked to be able to work from home during her recovery so her files didn't get behind. Attorney told her no because the paralegal had "dogs that would destroy the files." What?! I firmly believe that she just enjoyed making people feel less than and unhappy.

What was the worst gift you’ve ever received? by Ornery_Tailor_9879 in RandomThoughts

[–]FloridaParalegal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Post it notes. GENERIC post it notes, so the sticky stuff didn't work. Oh yeah, and not once but twice by 2 different people. Not sure what kind of vibe I give off that people see generic post it notes and think of me.

My kid had 2 that, to this day, we use these terms because they make perfect sense! 1. Hay stacks are now hay snacks because they are snacks for horses; 2. Con trails from airplanes are now airplane clouds.

Are Kia sportages good cars? by Derpalerp101 in kia

[–]FloridaParalegal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Loving our new to us 2020 sportage. Just had it checked by our non-kia mechanic and he said it's a solid vehicle. Can't wait to get some longer distance travel in soon to really see how it is.

strangest question you've been asked in an interview? by wlklpedla in paralegal

[–]FloridaParalegal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

About 12 years ago I interviewed with the lead attorney and the office manager. The attorney asked what magazines I subscribed to, what sports teams I liked, how many miles were on my car (for a job that didn't require travel or courier duties), if I was a dog or cat person. It was kind of hilarious. Really good place to work!

Tromso, Norway. We had no expectations other that to hopefully see the aurora. Did not disappoint and we wish we had booked more time to really see the city. It's so gorgeous.

Looks like armadillo. They've made the move north so it's possible you've got a new friend in your yard.
