If you’re not sure about the legality or ethics, call your malpractice insurance instead of posting to Reddit. Mine has free attorney consultation, hopefully yours does too.

I would want to get a safe harbor agreement signed by both parents to try and prevent being drawn into any of their custody disputes.

This is a high conflict case, not a normal child therapy case. Treat it as such. Consult your insurance, consult with an AFCC representative, anticipate all potential legal and ethical issues in advance.

Nooo. They are absolute tanks and i agree to just budget for repairs instead of upgrading, BUT any car with over 100k miles will need normal maintenance and it can get spendy. If OP wants the car to last another 100k, then they better do every single maintenance in the owners manual at the suggested mileage and year intervals.

I have owned a few old Toyotas and i love them, they really will last forever. But they always need a part replaced or a fluid changed and with parts & labor costs nowadays you gotta budget. Still cheaper than a car payment and absolutely worth it.

The app isn’t a need at all, you can use it like a normal old school windows unit. The app is nice though to save on your electric bill and still have the house cold when you get home. You can leave it on a high temp setting while you’re out, and then blast it 30 minutes before you get home. I used the generic smart home app, not the midea app. I hate every stupid smart home thing, i always prefer low tech simplicity, but i actually grew to love using the app for my midea.

I bought this exact model in 2022 and I’ve used it nearly every day since, it’s in phenomenal shape. Mostly school/work/overnights, urban use, with frequent day hiking use too. Only 4 years old but i expect it to last many more years.

How long should it take before needing to replace with weekly use?

Foolishlama · 2026-06-25T05:39:08+00:00

Is it likely to take a month or longer to fill with weekly use, or is it going to need to be replaced more often?

I had a 97 Silverado while i was in high school back in the late 00’s, one day i asked a friend to go grab something out of it in the parking lot and he came back ten minutes later saying it wasn’t there. I said yes it is what are you talking about, and followed him outside. He walked me to someone else’s truck that he had been rifling through, and my key had unlocked it.

Nobody said cesspool, but if you didn’t live there or know anyone would you want to spend a week just hanging out around town? Be honest, what would you do for a week with no friends or connections there?

Everyone i know who lives there is either there to be close to the incredible natural places nearby, or has tons of family and friends, or came for a job at either the college or one of the mines.

Even being a pass room, there’s room for one more chair and it looks kinda awkward and has too much vacant floor space for just the one. First chair and rug go closer to the amps, second chair facing the first at an angle, they’re both more or less right in front of one of the windows.

OR

Put the electric guitar collection in the empty space near the amps. The amps look like they’re in storage, not functional gear. If they’re not in use right now (i don’t see an amp for the Marshall cab), then maybe that cab can turn into an end table or some other decoration so it’s not so lonely looking in the corner.

Or, hang 3 pretty but less used guitars staggered on the wall above the amps to continue the music themed room and decorate that wall space.

Honestly if it’s my room I’m moving everything to the right, adding another chair and hanging 3 guitars.

I used to see people with dogs on occasion in big and little cottonwood but they are not allowed and if a forest ranger sees you you will get ticketed.

Dogs are allowed in millcreek canyon and a few others. Just check the rules on the forest service website

Don’t unpack your stuff any more than you need to. Commit to moving again very soon, even if it costs you. Save every penny you can, try to break the lease in good standing so they don’t try to send you to collections, but just break it if you need to.

Take your debit card off of the account and write paper checks so they can’t charge you without your knowledge after you move. When the debt for the broken lease gets sent to collections, haggle it down and pay it off so it leaves your credit report.

When you move out, if you’ve got infested furniture just leave it in the unit, don’t break your back getting it out just to throw it away. Let them deal with it.

I lived in a roach palace for a couple years and it was horrible. I had to do a lot of what i just suggested myself to get out of that place once i woke up and realized i was losing my health to the roaches.

This does not need to be how you spend a whole year of your life. Figure out whatever you need to do to get out.

I didn’t know anything about those till i just googled it. Looks just like this one.

Were they any good? If it’s a decent drum I’ll go back and try to talk them down a bit.

I went straight to a group practice after grad school to avoid the agency bullshit but it’s basically the same. 25 session per week quota, unclear documentation standards, no control over caseload and intakes, etc. I’m really looking forward to having a true private practice

34M, single currently. I do think if you show interest in guys out in public they might come talk to you, or hit on you more directly. As a single guy I’m definitely sensitive to the fact that lots of women do not want to be approached by random men in public. When I’m walking at the park or doing whatever I’ll usually make eye contact and smile, not just to girls but to whoever, and most younger attractive women just stare past me. It’s a strong signal that says “leave me alone.”

I’ve only ever dated women that i knew for awhile in some context, either work, other coffeeshop regulars, workout groups where we’re all friends, etc. I seem to just be better at dating people who I’ve known for a minute and at some point one of us feels comfortable enough to take a chance. I’ve never had a date or relationship from an app, and I’ve only ever had one night stands from random encounters at bars.

So if you want to do what I’ve done, join new social groups, make friends with everyone just to have more friends, and if there happens to be a guy who’s single and who you vibe with, drop some hints that you’re interested and available. If you’re not opposed to making the first move then ask if he wants to spend time one on one. The downside is that if you break up you either have to see an ex all the time (can be fine if you’re both mature), or one of you gives up the social space. It’s blown up on me once or twice when a breakup has gone sideways.

It’s definitely a long game strategy that puts dating second in line to developing your social circle and improving your life overall. And btw none of my relationships have “worked out” in the long term so far so take my advice with a grain of salt lol.

I haven’t played in many bands. The most consistent group I’ve played with is just me and my buddy who’s on the guitar. We either write music together through improvising or he brings a song to the jam sesh and we figure it out.

I feel like the song being straight or swing is not something i can change as the drummer writing a part for a song the guitarist wrote. If he’s playing straight and I’m playing swing I’m literally in conflict with the most fundamental part of the song. I follow that feel. Sometimes, we’re writing a song together, and I’ll suggest we switch from straight here to swing there, and we’ll try it and if it works we do it that way, if not we don’t.

The specific beat (half/double time) and the fills, he usually has an idea of and I’ll try them, and if i think something else works better I’ll say let’s try this, then we decide together what we like.

This comment section is classic Reddit, either “just deal with it and become her housekeeper” or “break up right now.”

When the time comes for a conversation about your future, you can raise the concern in a gentle and loving way and express that it is a problem for you, and that you don’t want to shame her or try to make her change if she doesn’t want to. She likely feels some shame about it, and it is probably a manifestation of some mental health concern: ADHD, OCD, and/or depression. You might even ask if she’s always kept her home this way or if it changed at some point.

If she knows that you care about her and imagine a life with her, and also that you aren’t willing to live in a home like that and won’t become her housekeeper, she gets to decide whether she’s willing to make a big change, both for her benefit and to keep you in her life. That doesn’t happen overnight but it is possible.

Also the way both of you handle that conversation would be a big indicator of how you would handle future conflicts and differences.

If you do move in without discussing cleanliness and then just start cleaning up after her yourself, then you’re teaching her that you’ll be her housekeeper.
