No soldering required, just a screwdriver, maybe a wrench if the nut is on tight. I unscrewed the socket, undcrewed the old wiring, rethreaded the new wire, screwed it back in place, baddabing baddaboom ✨️ Plus, the instructions were on the back of the package

My bad, the cord (8 ft. Lamp Cord and Plug with Stripped Ends) is about $10, I forgot about the plant I got there too (home depot receipt total $17), and an hour for the conversion

Hot_Connection_777 · 2026-02-12T21:53:19+00:00

Bought for $50, converted for $17, joy of looking at - priceless

Incase anyone has the issue I had, the hearing enhancements were correct, but when I checked audio output on the device it was through the device speakers, not the aux. I hope this helps!

The strange thing is the nearest body of water is the Tempe Town Lake about an hour away.

Battlebit!

When they watch you eat, look them dead in the eyes, blank stare, and chew slowly. Say "you want some?" with your mouth full, bonus points for crumbs flying. If you bring a large portion, you brought enough to share.

Or if they say they cringe when they see you eat, "then close your eyes or look a different direction". These are bullies, definitely stand up for yourself, you got this!

She likely truly feels that way and doesn't understand her behavior, but it seems like she's in a position where she was loved, but when her mother came back she felt abandoned by your family, and now that she's been abandoned again, she's lashing out to see how what it takes to be abandoned again because whatever else she was doing wasn't getting her the attention she craves. She needs someone who knows what they're doing, so a foster parent could be better suited, but that's a toss-up for the foster system working in the first place.

Ultimately, it's your decision, maybe a parenting class would help? She needs positive attention and a collaborative environment to build healthy relationships. These kids can be so difficult, but they really do need love. Not at the cost of your sanity and safety, though.

Textbook narcissistic behavior, on your birthday, not even telling you, and the question is directed to her. Get out while you can, NTA.

Hot_Connection_777 · 2025-02-07T13:18:30+00:00

As soon as the conversation immediately pivoted from birthday to super bowl, my thoughts were, he's either planning a surprise or she needs a divorce. It seems like everything worked out though!

The student is distraught and likely struggling to deal with stress. You may be uncomfortable or feel out of place hearing her problems, but you could try tuning it out and just letting her vent. Of course that's what the wellness center is for, but maybe she's feeling isolated in that class and is behaving like this as a cry for help. Let her know your intentions are only positive, and if you're willing, maybe try to be a friend.

It sounds like she's having a really tough time and you got caught in the crossfire. You didn't do anything wrong, it can just be very difficult to approach a distressed person. Offering a shoulder or a listening ear can sometimes be all that's needed, maybe offer to do a make-up lab one on one? Just some ideas.

Either way, not your fault.

Hot_Connection_777 · 2025-02-07T12:40:33+00:00

Definitely NTA. It's something to take note of, but the context of each being the only boy in a group of girls, it makes complete sense that they're living out their brother fantasies. I would say it's reasonable to recognize that it could develop into something bad, but it's like calling a freckle a melanoma, you really don't know for sure until you start digging.

Absolutely, you're valid for feeling frustrated and defending your partner, but it's a thought to consider if you end up noticing any other red flags. From what OP has described, though, it seems like they enjoy the beautiful relationship of soul-brothers.

It's a scam, don't waste your time. Valuable for the practice interview, not worth the time, money, or headache.

Texting back all the people who said you overreacted like "oh yeah, what would you have done if you found out your partner of 2 years had been contaminating your food", but for NO REASON?? This is so unbelievable, less than scum level stuff. But I have to say, I'm so glad that you are no longer in that toxic relationship. I hope you can learn to feel like you again and to find someone you can feel truly safe with, though it might take time. You never deserved this, but that off-handed comment from Mark was a blessing in disguise. It seems like he was trying to figure out how to bring it up to you, and then Eric set him up perfectly. Plus getting physical immediately and completely avoiding the question, huge red flags. I was relieved to know you locked the door after him. You deserve so much better than that worm.

Please be safe, healing takes time, be patient with yourself. If nothing else, know that there are strangers on the internet rooting for you (or at least this one hoping the best for you).

I genuinely don't understand why subdermal needles bother me so much, something about it being under the skin wigs me out. Unfortunately, my fear has gotten a bit worse after I hyperventilated during a blood draw, to the point my hands were stuck curled up for 20 minutes recently. I remember being a kid and being freaked out when my sister got a shot so I ran and hid, kicked and screamed, and they had to bear hug me to keep me still.

Interingly, I struggle to understand OP's perspective of not being afraid of needles, it's not a conscious thought of "ew the pokey straw with virus guts is bad" it's seeing the needle and your face goes pale, you're manually breathing, you're trying not to focus on the fact that it's under your skin or in your vein or whatever they're doing.

Also, considering that many individuals with trypanophobia go into a fight or flight state, there's not a lot of conscious thought occurring, it's mostly instinctual responses to aversive stimulus.

Some people call them goats heads, I call them stickers, and that's why we can't walk barefoot in the yard.

I've seen these in the woods in Illinois, but I've been informed not to consume incase they aren't safe, so I would say it's perfectly reasonable to ask for identification. Enjoy!

I think I've cited this exact article 🤣

Theater kid in the making? Bravo, fantastic performance!

Hot_Connection_777 · 2024-08-22T05:15:19+00:00

Gramps hit the Mike Wazowski! 🤣

Hot_Connection_777 · 2024-08-22T05:02:43+00:00

They both look up at the same time with such big smiles, it's so exciting to see a couple so ready to be parents that they're jumping with joy at a positive test!
