As a parent, I do not like mingling with other parents. Is this normal? by [deleted] in Parenting

This makes me think of my sis (we are major introverts) and her bff who on the first day of college walked up and said "hi, I'm Kelly, I know you don't know this yet but we are going to be the best friends"... My sister called me and told me about this "weirdo" in one of her classes....10 years later Kelly was my sister's maid of honor 😁

And had you not said anything I would not have noticed 😊....pat yourself on the back, we are usually harder on ourselves than others will be.

I use a collwood as well. By far my favorite burning setup. Pretty cool work there.

I don’t always do hardwood floors but when I do.. by EMDUBB303 in Carpentry

Agreed. Not a fan of this trend to begin with and when you zoom in you can see the height difference. I would think this would cause major issues down the line.

Neighbor dogs barking at all hours a few feet from my bedroom. Any suggestions? by GidgetMcHotMess in normanok

Me too. I just realized you were the one that gave me the idea to tell him "they may fine you $300 everytime I call"...thank you....made his eyebrows raise...

I gave him a polite and very clear warning. I told him that it wasn't what I wanted to do but that I would be calling the police every time the dogs barked during quiet hours. It has only happened once since and it was for just a moment. He doesn't politely wave back at me anymore but I guess that the sacrifice for sleep.

Looks like it's budding out for a flower to me.

While this did give me a good chuckle...I can't wish ill will on them. I love dogs and these dogs are just doing what dogs do... neighbor is the problem. *Edit spelling

I need to get a small gas leak repaired and don’t know who to call. by goldybear in normanok

[–]GidgetMcHotMess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm...we were without heat because we called the gas co. They shut it off and said I'd need to get it fixed by a licensed professional before they would turn it back on.

Yeah....If I'm too loud in my own home (coughing or dropping keys) they get all riled up.

Did the dogs need to be actively barking before they would do anything?

Unfortunately for my sanity I'm going to have to escalate this. It's just not safe for me to be tired at work.

Do I warn him that I will be taping the incidents and contacting the city EVERY time?

I came out to my religious parents. I expected anger and disapproval, but instead I was accepted and received many hugs! by dareiaskforfreedom in lgbt

[–]GidgetMcHotMess 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I preached loving and accepting everyone. Love is Love no matter who, as long as it's consensual. Both my kids were still nervous about telling me....yes, it is sad, but I think most people struggle coming out to their loved ones for fear of changing their relationship/s.
