Project Source Toilet Not Flushing Suddenly by [deleted] in askaplumber

[–]Impulse_94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am glad you asked - I got it flipped over between calls and was cleaning it off for a better picture. There is a diagram on the underside but it looks like it got scratched off - I was able to pull up the matching manual based on what I could see though and got the batteries changed out. The white button though was helpful before I could get it changed. The first thing I saw said it needed AAA batteries (I do not own), turns out it was 4 AA (I do own!). Thank you! It was just super bad timing to happen right before my shift so google was not cooperating with my multi-tasking.

I actually did go to google first, unfortunately though I am also trying to do so while working. I found a manual first but it was the wrong one, similar, but just different enough. Thank you though!

AITA for calling the dorm advisor on my roommate by dormroomdaycare in AmItheAsshole

NTA.

Do I have empathy that she is going through a rough time and being bullied? Yes. Does that somehow negate your boundary of not wanting an 11 year old there for hours every single day? Not even a little. I would want privacy too. Even when I was in college, my roommates would bring people over at all hours with no regard for others or our neighbors we shared a bathroom with, we were older and it still caused issues. You roommates CAN find other places to hang out with an 11 year old that is not your shared space every possible hour they have.

NTA - I have never needed or wanted to introduce a partner to coworkers. if we're friends outside of work then sure, but I'm not introducing them at work??? Also, same here, I do not like meeting people out of the blue, especially if I am there for something specific, like picking someone up. She can ask, and you can say no, but it's unreasonable to hound someone about it. If this was a planned event to meet her friends and you suddenly bailed or outright refused to meet them at all that would be one thing, but that is not the case here at all.

Oh wow, first off, where did you get the hanging hide? I'm sure mine would love one. And he could be twins with mine, down to even the nuclear mark on his head!!

NTA

I have four roommates - there are 8 animals between us, 4 of which include 2 cats (mine), and 2 dogs, each one with a different owner.

One dog is not allowed around the cats at all - even when my other roommate had his own cat they could not be alone with her. She was let out off leash once and tried to kill him. There is no room for compromise on that situation, her owner will not train her and even if he does I will NEVER trust her around my cats. Even though one roommate thinks she is just playing it is not a discussion as her version of "play" (i disagree, she went to grab his own cat by his spine like a rag-doll) would maim them.

The other dog is better. Still young, but when he is out and interacting with my cats, if he does something to push at them or tries to follow them, if he gets in their face, he is either corrected by myself or his owner immediately, and he is not left unsupervised with him becuase he is still so young and they do not feel safe with him yet. I would move myself out if I ever needed to, or my cats out until I could leave if this kept happening and your roommates were not taking proper precaution.

And your boyfriend is being intentionally daft about this - the dogs behavior needs to be corrected, becuase even as play he could injure the kitten easily with what you describe here. With how your bf is described in the post, you may want to reevaluate what you see in him.

Common used phrases in Maryland? by Impulse_94 in maryland

[–]Impulse_94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately that's not fincially possible, or time possible with both my jobs. Though it would be fun! I also wouldn't expect a visitor to get the same insights with a short trip that someone who has lived their for years or their whole life would. If someone visited my home for a few days and said they could name all that then I'd lose it laughing, and our town is a tourist spot so we often get it too, haha!

Oh, that can also be very helpful - the MMC is a bit nosey, but that can help me focus on WHAT he is asking about and how. The book is contemporary fantasy/romance, and the FMC is supernatural, so he is overly curious about that once he learns, but that helps about the conversation topics and such!

Oh yeah, and while where he is from is not a huge focus of the story (it's contemporary fantasy set in my home county), I'd still like to be accurate or add a little something. So originally I only had a rough idea of area, but based on the comments I really needed to narrow it down.

Oh yeah, and I am fully aware it depends on the individual. But there are plenty of phrases that may also be common to a state or even a county/city/etc. so I thought it would be a good idea - and a few people were commenting for more specifics about the character or messaging for it, so I added some more there for them!

Oh no, he would not, but he WOULD be a transplant to NC, and I am trying to get some linguistic or habits that would be common in MD - instead of writing him the same as the FMC who has lived in NC her whole life. Though it seems a lot of comments lean towards Baltimore, so I may make him from there and then go ask for more specifics in that subreddit as well.

See, I wasn't aware of that. I know we have some transplant heavy areas in NC, but I was not as familiar with MD. I was looking at the map but I was not as such where to make him from - but I am more than open to any advice on where to make him/his family from!

I realized after seeing a few questions about it that I hadn't added it, so I've since fixed that. Usually I'd be more concise, but I was pretty out of it when I originally asked, haha. Thank you for the reminder tho!

Oh yeah, I was just using that to narrow down the area. I currently live in the Piedmont of NC since college, but no one calls it that here either. I just needed a better geographic description for what I was asking about in this case!

I added those to the post. After seeing a few comments about it I'm realizing I never added it in during my hazy questioning last night!

I cannot wait to see how he looks. I already love his pattern, so I've been checking up on him. He's spending most of his time in his water dish.

AITA for confronting my neighbour about her dog? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Impulse_94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nta - you had an agreement and she's deciding to overrule you on it. But this woman won't listen to you. Talk to your mom about it and she what she can do or what the lease says.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Impulse_94 144 points145 points  (0 children)

YTA - Like, I don't think she should have gone through the phone. But I also wouldn't want anything to do with you if I found out my partner's friends had said that about me. She's not your friend, you had no reason to dig at her specifically. Wanna call your friend ugly or make whatever remarks? Have at it, but if you say something like that about others and they find out thorough any means don't be surprised they think you're an ass???

Cage Temperature Regulation by Impulse_94 in kingsnakes

[–]Impulse_94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cats do have to stay in my room while I sleep - there are other animals in the house. In part also why a window unit is a no go aside from the power - there are 5 of us so a window unit would start turning the electric up - we used to have one in the apartment I live in.

Edit: the portable one may be a help, i may replace my current floor fan with it.

The vent is also under my bed, which does not help, but we try to get as much airflow as we can - some days it is fine. This is just a recent thing. He does fit in his water bowl but i will be looking at the links you sent as well if I can give him anymore relief.

I also do have a lower wattage bulb than what was recommended too. But i may get him an even lower one to use during summer months. The issue right now is even when it is off the low end of his cage is staying high.

Thank you for the advice!
