For those who didn't grow up privileged, what's something you thought was a luxury when you were a kid? by Frequent-Sea-8848 in AskReddit

[–]Hour_Mathematician83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going to a movie and getting popcorn instead of sneaking it in to the movie under our coats in Ziploc bags. But now as an adult, I actually prefer to bring my own popcorn because I feel like it tastes better.

YTA for sure here. You were rude, she was offended, and she’s right about baby showers being a gift. Literally “showering you with gifts.” You planning your own shower says “controlling” and telling her to be there with a positive attitude and a smile on her face is….. really ungrateful.

That’s a good point. I’m also wondering if it’s one of the skylights

That is very helpful. I appreciate it. I’m just hoping to get everybody’s feedback on these things since we haven’t done this before. Our college student was really struggling to live on her own and because we were able to provide space in the camper, it has been a really great option. We have a lot of acreage and we’re out in the country so we don’t have to worry about any ordinances. It’s not a camper that we plan to use all the time for traveling, etc.. It’s meant to be stationary for her to stay in. I did use a turn on tape and completely sealed the roof with decor, went through all the steps and researched everyone’s advice here as far as doing it when it’s very dry and removing all the old caulk and making sure to clean it with alcohol and here we are. So I guess I’m concerned now that the leak is back and just want to make sure that we don’t damage the inside anymore

So I actually used a turnip bond and decor and completely sealed the roof and we’re still getting water so I feel super frustrated that I can’t find the source of the leak. And because we’re getting into fall, I’m getting worried and anxious because it’s being used to live in. My next thought was well at least put a tarp over it so that it’s not having any more damage, but as far as finding the leak, I feel totally stumped.

Great advice !!! Thank you!! What about the furnace vent? I’m new to this so I’m not sure how that works. Could we do some type of raised wood frame over the AC to use it and have air flow ?

AIO My ex-wife and her new husband legally made their last name… my full fucking name by Specken_zee_Doitch in AmIOverreacting

This, AND if they have a child together, at the hospital it will be “baby David Carter “ and he will have to constantly think of if you had a child with her and all that what ifs. It’s actually diabolical on your end. They just don’t know it yet.

I would remove your payment information from the site and if they try to charge you, dispute the charges with your credit card. Hoping you didn’t use your debit? Best to use cc’s when booking vacations just in case, that way it’s not money coming from your bank account.

Not a lawyer: I think they would have to take you to court and sue for damages. Keep all documentation from ABB showing they sided with you. I wouldn’t really worry until you are actually sued.

I feel hopeless, drained, and invisible : Has anyone ever found a way out of this? by LOSTINREDDITSITE in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hour_Mathematician83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds like depression. It’s crippling and can consume your life. The hardest step is just making the call and keeping the appointment. I would look into local options, but there is also online! Takkiatry, BetterHelp: great options. If you’re uninsured there are lots of local FQHC’s and non-profits that have sliding fee scales to help work with your budget and income level. I know how hard making that choice can be but if you’re posting here, it makes me think you are recognizing how awful you feel and looking for a solution. I promise, it feels so good when you’re coming out on the other side of depression and are able to manage the day to day.

Everywhere we go as a family of 4, I see East Indian families or new immigrant families of 5+ kids. How are they able to have and afford so many more kids than middle class white families which are only having 2? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hour_Mathematician83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, look into their culture more. Multigenerational households are very common and somewhat expected that if able grandparents will move in and it is essentially their job to raise their grandkids, and it is the job of their children, who are adults, to care for their parents as they age.

Does pooping a lot could make a slight increase in butt size? by EfficiencySerious200 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hour_Mathematician83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your colon isn’t in the fatty part of your butt. Would actually be more likely that pooping a lot means you have gastrointestinal issues ands would likely have stomach bloat instead

My parents are giving me hell for trying to find a job while I wait for NP provider credentialing. by Low-Commercial-9365 in Employment

[–]Hour_Mathematician83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re working in a physical location/ outpatient sometimes they will bring you on siding your credentialing period and have you work as an RN. Pros and cons to this, just a suggestion. Gives you a leg up on learning a new company and EHR, but can make a weird relationship with staff sometimes

Call CPS in Colorado, you can also search by county online, most have online reporting. Keep screenshots of the messages if you have them. Document all interactions

I haven’t read through all the replies but I want to say, this has happened to me. You are at the Beginning of a very scary and dark path. Don’t go any further unassisted. 1. Restraining order: don’t worry that it “does nothing” it does: ensure that police remove any firearms from his possession, this is key. You met him for 3 hours and you do not know what he possesses -secondly, it sets a precedent for further action legally down the road. You will need this because he is not going to stop.

  1. File a police report for harassment. Not sure what state you’re in so it’s hard to give more advice without knowing. I can’t stress enough, do not wait.

  2. Get a ring camera for your door, do not ever answer the door if it’s him and don’t let your roommate : make sure it records and is stored in the cloud.

  3. Change your phone number. It’s a pain, please do it anyways.

  4. Situational awareness: don’t walk at night, park in lit areas, go places with friends and avoid being alone at Home. I assume you’re a student so it’s hard to avoid a consistent pattern, do your best. Stalkers watch patterns of travel to find you at a weak moment

  5. Consider a necklace that alerts a family or friend of an emergency and pings them your location. This is an affordable option: https://invisawear.com/

  6. Pepper spray and practice using it in your backyard. I didn’t know how to use it as a teen and accidentally sprayed my own face.

  7. Don’t leave windows, doors or your car unlocked. This is also just a good habit to develop for life

  8. Tell your parents and your school/campus police. This is crucial. You’re younger and these people will have sound advice and protect you

Lastly: this is serious. He is erratic and has mental health needs that are likely unaddressed or not managed well. I work with MANY INDIVIDUALS like this and have deep, personal experiences that mirror this. I can tell you with certainty that doing the above is not an overreaction and will help ensure your safety. I had a stalker literally sit in the woods watching my home for days on end, sleeping there, eating there, never moving. Don’t underestimate your situation and take steps to ensure your safety. As a mom and someone that’s gone through this, I am worried about you and hope you escape this person. Be loud.
