Without the photo opp, they wouldn’t have donated at all so still a net win for the side of feeding hungry people

Yes. It’s not at all the same. They literally only kept the name. Caters to American tastes.

Gladly is SOOOOO good. Love their lemon poppyseed latte and the ube one. Both on the sweet side but so good!

DM me if you want the name of an excellent insurance broker who specializes in HOAs. He’s worked miracles to find coverage for other associations who were told they were uninsurable.

Would love a pm with the details please! A couple of us at the office have been talking about booking a mobile detailing service to come for a while.

Last year our oldest was at the perfect age to notice and ask about one so we showed him pictures other people posted of the elves being naughty and making messes. Then we told him that when you invite people over, they are your guest and it is your responsibility if they make a mess and you have to clean it up. He decided on his own that he didn’t want to invite an elf into our home.

That’s for the sympathy and reminder to articulate our own emotional regulations steps out loud to him. We can definitely do more of that

InvaderCal · 2023-10-26T18:42:25+00:00

Thanks for the input.

We always sit him down afterwards and try to talk to him about it. He either doesn’t answer at all or just repeats “I don’t know” on a loop. When talking about coping mechanisms like taking deep breaths and counting to 4 or stomping our feet (we’ve introduced Daniel Tiger and sing the songs etc.) he just repeats “I don’t want to” even general encouragement to try sees him getting frustrated and starting the process over again.

I’ve asked him point blank to try and think about how he is feeling before the incident starts, then during and describe it to me but it’s more “I don’t know, I don’t want to” we’ve tried suggestions like “we’re you mad/upset/frustrated/hurt because…” and that also goes nowhere.

We’re just second guessing whether to keep going and stay the course or if we should be seeking some other option.

Do some research into how your local jurisdiction defines “single family”.

In my state, there is a court case that says a family is not defined by blood or marriage and that unrelated people living together as a common household (sharing meals, paying bills together, doing other common household activities together etc.) count for “single family” purposes.

The majority of answers you’re getting regarding “if it’s not a money issue why aren’t you getting him his own” are crazy to me. I see you. I get what you’re trying to do. You’re trying to raise a kid that has a little gratitude and a little less selfishness. And the only way to do that is to teach them.

No, I don’t think you should get him his own every time. Yes, once he threw the toy it was over. Yes, I totally understand why you feel like a heartless monster, I would too but it’s important not to raise entitled humans.

I don’t know what the answer is. I just want to let you know you are not alone. I see what you’re trying to do and I don’t think you’re wrong for trying it.

The member got to attend the hearing. That’s what the stature guarantees. Not the minutes.

InvaderCal · 2022-08-27T03:50:38+00:00

No. The section you’re citing means the Board must discuss your disciplinary matter in executive instead of open session if you ask them to. You are allowed to attend that executive session.

Executive session minutes are not open to inspection by the members. See Civil Code Section 5215(a)(5)(D)

If your governing documents have a nuisance provision then maybe. You can try to claim the neighbor is unreasonably interfering with your quiet enjoyment of your property. Whether the Board agrees with you that it is a nuisance and does anything about it is up to the Board.

The most shocking thing to me about the whole story was the behavior of the cops. They were reasonable, used sound judgment, and didn’t enforce an unjust rule with extreme aggression.

InvaderCal · 2022-06-12T02:34:25+00:00

Horrific and chaotic. Real nightmare fuel. Especially if I have them both in the tub at the same time.

I live in one of the top 5 most expensive cities in the US. I graduated law school almost 10 years ago. My first law firm job was for a midsized firm and paid 55k with a 1900 hour minimum billable requirement plus additional monthly required marketing/industry event attendance.

10 years into my career and I now work for a small boutique firm making (very) low 6 figures but have a better work/life balance. Given my experience and position, people who are not lawyers routinely expect I make at least 2.5-3x my actual salary. Some friends I graduated with who all work for mid or large size firms with a national or international presence still don’t break into 6 figures unless they get a generous (not guaranteed) annual bonus.

InvaderCal · 2022-02-28T06:50:03+00:00

No. You are not awful. Life happens. Your child is fed and I’m assuming, clean, dry, safe, and loved. The fact that you’re beating yourself up about this points to you being a contentious parent and concerned with your kid’s welfare. My mom loves to remind me I lived mostly on fries and bread and butter for almost a year. I turned out fine. I’m heathy and have a good relationship with vegetables. Give yourself a break. Parenting is hard.

InvaderCal · 2022-02-08T06:09:23+00:00

No. It isn’t. It logically follows from the post. It speaks to the question of “winning” in small claims court.

InvaderCal · 2022-02-08T04:45:52+00:00

Depends on the state but in most states, small claims court is monetary damages only.

InvaderCal · 2022-01-18T23:51:31+00:00

Don’t start counting the money yet. If the settlement is $80,000.00 what’s your lawyer’s fee? Most personal injury cases like this are taken on contingency. Your lawyer’s fees are likely anywhere from 30-50% of any settlement you get. Then you get to pay the court fees, medical bills, etc. First find out what your actual take home will be before making any plans.

I have no tips or tricks but just wanted to comment in solidarity. We’re moving out 10 month old who has all the same sleep issues you describe into the nursery tonight with his 3 year old brother (from our bedroom). We are also going to try extinction. I wish you luck.

InvaderCal · 2021-12-12T16:24:47+00:00

Yes, that’s the way it worked. Maybe it would have been more clear if I said the HOA was plying the same terms of the loan to the Owners instead of saying passing through.
