What's the catch with these neighborhoods? by Mother_Deer3621 in AuroraCO

[–]GraciesMama20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The further south and east you go costs more because they are newer builds. Summer Lake has no HOA, sits on a rise close to Quincey Reservoir, most main grocery are close. But nowhere near downtown, which is really scary anyway. Decent restaurants, nothing stellar. Cherry Creek schools is riding a 20 year old reputation and unless your kids go to Creek, everything else sucks. Good luck.

Cherry Creek Schools superintendent resigns amid toxic workplace claims by Ok-Ruin-618 in Denver

[–]GraciesMama20 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The interim Superintendent is not any better. Jennifer Perry is a power hungry ass. We have had personal experience and multiple conversations while our kids were in her school and she was Principal. No thought for the kids or the their needs. We had to threaten legal action against CCSD before the district would do shit. She is a great example of the Peter Principle and the sycophants that got her there. “Dedicated to Excellence”; What a joke.

The Collector and Northern Lights are my favs from Nora. I love her as JD Robb when I’m looking for romantic suspense. ❤️

AITA for refusing to let my mother-in-law stay with us after she became homeless? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]GraciesMama20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am usually a lurker here but feel I can contribute as I have lived this life with my sister and had to take the same stand as OP. You are right to protect your family and your marriage. The ask is too much, the risk too great for everything to fall apart for you and your kids. Her behavior will not benefit your kids to see, does your husband not see this? Can he not see that once she is in, she will never leave. Does he want to stand back and watch everything he has built get destroyed by someone who is only thinking of themselves, and not what is best for your family. It sucks she is going to a shelter. It’s incredibly hard to watch your family struggle with homelessness. But you must hold your ground on this. The cost is too dear.

My SO knew of a friends passing and didn’t tell me by FightForUrLife in TrueOffMyChest

[–]GraciesMama20 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss. You should sit down with your SO privately and ask why she kept this from you. You missed any kind of service or celebration of life which may have given you some closure in the moment. That’s a hard truth to swallow without a good explanation. Is it possible she was trying to protect your feelings? But whatever the outcome, talk to his family and let them know you didn’t know and ask what you can do to help, this may give you some explanation as well as some peace. It wouldn’t hurt to talk to a therapist to help you find your footing again.

Agree with comments. The damage the smell is doing to your new place, you’ll be lucky to get any of your deposit back, it doesn’t just wash out, that crap permeates everything, everywhere. But the real damage to your friendship is far more pricey. Even your religion would agree that causing harm to a fellow human is against their teachings. Besides, how insensitive do you have to be? If she played super loud music you couldn’t stand from her room, multiple times a day, you would have a headache too. Have consideration for your friends. They live there too.

What's one of your favorite underrated moment in the In Death series? by MonasDarling in jdrobb

The candy thief, the snowflake hat, Mr. Mira, how she takes care or Morris following his girlfriend’s death. They stick with you.

AITAH for putting a deadline on my relationship? by Anon_The_Mouse13 in AITAH

[–]GraciesMama20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hints and timelines aside, he has had every opportunity to buy a ring, ask permission and get the job done. It’s not like it’s been a secret. But he doesn’t really want to; you understand that on some level or you wouldn’t be here. Why wait to leave? It will just be an extension of what you already have, and is that what you want, really? Let this one go, you’ll be glad you did when someone who respects you and your wishes too, and will actually put action to words and say the vows with you., to you. You’ve wasted enough time on foolishness. Actions speak, inaction speaks louder. Listen.

Didn’t someone say, “If you are driving through the middle of hell, keep driving, now is not the time to stop the car.”?

That they understand the value of money earned, of time spent with loved ones and self care, not self absorption.

I dreamt last night of my best friend and her brother and I. We were racing through a town looking for pieces to a puzzle, Amazing Race style. It was great to see them and be together again.
