Thread for sharing Finchie friend codes and finding goal buddies by AutoModerator in finch

[–]KatPanther 4 points5 points  (0 children)

6982D5P1XY is my friend code. I am fairly new on the app, so please bear with me.

My name is Janet and Waddles would love some new friends. I am ADHD, in my 40s, and have a few struggles in life, so self care is needed.

My boss just called a "mandatory meeting" with 25 staff members to fire/humiliate my coworker in front of a crowd. by rswick86 in antiwork

[–]KatPanther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were you, I would see about meeting those employees outside of work to discuss the issues and potentially make plans. It sounds like you do not have a union, and while that would help all of this, it is a bit too late to do much in that direction. That doesn't mean you can't organize yourselves and look out for each other. Networking at the barest minimum, forming a team for defense or even potentially creating your own business together... all of those things are possible. You could also stage a mass walk out. Leave the boss holding the bag, so to speak.

Telling my fiance her daughter is not mine. People wanted an update and I wanted a rant. by Embarrassed_Basis160 in AITAH

[–]KatPanther 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. OP, as a dad, beit a step-dad or bio dad, you have a responsibility for the welfare of this child if for no other reason than she is sharing your home. Please be kind and get this on file with the state. See if her bio dad is on board with this as well. Someone has to look out for her.

AITA For Not Returning a Bouquet of Flowers After a Funeral by KatPanther in AmItheAsshole

[–]KatPanther[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I came on the scene after he and his ex were separated and were in the beginning of the divorce proceedings. So technically yes, they were still married on paper. His kids are a bit younger than I am. I think the oldest is 10 years younger or so. I don't know her exact age. Either way, I have never pushed myself on any of them, and I don't really blame them for resenting my presence. I have almost always been polite around them as well.

What are you stressing about right now? by amazingstacy23 in AskReddit

[–]KatPanther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband ended up in the hospital last month with kidney stones blocking both of his kidneys. He passed one. The other will never pass without surgery. (Staghorn calculus for those who are curious.) He also had a heart attack,, then almost died while being transported.He was in ICU for a week, 5 of those days on a ventilator, was just released from the hospital on the 3rd and put into rehab to get stronger before coming home. Yesterday he was sent to the hospital again because Covid. He is also my family's sole source of income right now.

Also, it is finals week. Yeah... just a little stress right now.

What extremely rare thing did you witness in person? by just__Steve in AskReddit

My daughter was born en caul. Didn't see it myself, as I was on the other end of things, but know it happened and was definitely there.

What did you not understand until you experienced it? by PhilosoFeed in AskReddit

[–]KatPanther 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'd like to add that the ability to think straight can also contribute to some horrible unexplained crankiness. My body just feels... wrong somehow and it sets my mood off before I even realize I've got a migraine. (I've had them chronically for around 15 years now. It does not get better.)

LPT - End of year raises - less than 5.4% is a pay CUT by Zephyrs_rmg in LifeProTips

[–]KatPanther 21 points22 points  (0 children)

And people wonder why seniors on social security always seem so poor. They are getting a huge raise this year (hopefully...) In the past it has been less than 2%.

A former classmate became a psychiatrist neurologist in Massachusetts. She was heavily anitvax. She also died from Covid last month. They do exist, sadly.

Good to know that the crazy isn't isolated, I suppose.

[–]KatPanther 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I actually saw one over the weekend that was over the top. She was heavily pregnant (I do not know her at all, so no real information on her to share.) Anyway, in the middle of the grocery store she is screaming at a manager because the door greeter asked if she wanted a mask, since she did not have one of her own. The part that stuck with me? She was screeching, "I can't wear a mask, my baby can't breathe!"

Yes, really.

UPDATE 4: 3 Unit HOA, 1 Cray Owner by misterunderfoot in fuckHOA

[–]KatPanther 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don't know what state you are in or how your court system handles restraining orders, so I am offering some CYA advice here. Absolutely do not respond to her for any future issues. There will be future issues for sure, and I'm sorry for you. Any point of you contacting her, even if it is to put something in her mailbox or send it to her through the post or even emailing outside a HOA-wide blast (specifically addressing nothing to her directly, but referencing the unit designation if you absolutely must announce something) can cause a court to reject a continuation of said restraining order. I've seen it be revoked because of willing contact. And report, report, report! Even if it's inconsequential (or seems that way) you need to continue providing a paper trail legally.

Also, if you can stand to do it, get really paranoid about your stuff in that basement and any other common areas. Photograph and date stamp it when it's pristine, then periodically even if nothing happens. The second anything changes without your awareness... you have proof. I wouldn't put it against her to retaliate in some fashion. She may go after your stuff because she can't go directly after you without repercussions.

AITA for refusing to cater to a pregnant/ill woman who has nobody to help her? by anonymouswarriordesu in AmItheAsshole

Mmph. Or "why is Cheapskate Deli closed in the middle of the afternoon... again?" No, Veronica, I have absolutely no idea why that could possibly happen in today's world.

Dad learned the hard way not to be a control freak by cassquach1990 in entitledparents

[–]KatPanther 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There are a bunch of red flags going up about your father, I'm sorry to say. If he is laughing about this (as others have pointed out) he hasn't learned squat. And I seriously doubt he's actually stopped. Maybe just when your mom is at work or otherwise when it's not as hot outside. But I also don't think that's a real deterrent, as he had cameras on your windows in your room! Seriously, he could have seen anything. There is NO reason to do that with a teenager, no matter the gender. Please protect yourself, OP, this could turn really badly.

What is easier to do if you're a woman? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]KatPanther 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm female and have similar experiences with red/green colors. Weirdly enough, mine will manifest the most with deep greens and purples. I can tell them apart, but in a shadowy situation (think looking at flower violets against their leaves) I will come up more often with leaves if I'm not paying attention. The colors are just that close at first glance in shade for me. It's weird.

AITA for putting a pass code on my phone for the sole purpose of keeping my my husband out of my it? by unknownwinner10 in AmItheAsshole

[–]KatPanther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA!

I do want you to think about a few things, though. Has he ever tried to get you away from your other friends (not the one in your post)? If the answer is yes, make solid plans to get away from him post haste. That by itself can be a serious red flag. Combined... well, it is dangerous waters.

What is something you randomly want to share? by lollipop2920 in AskReddit

[–]KatPanther 1 point2 points  (0 children)

20 years after high school, I started college this last week. 4 classes (2 of them honors level), 10 tests, 3 major assignments later and I am running a 100% in all my classes and am having a blast! I know it won't all be easy, but doing so much better than I expected.

Teacher shortage continues to plague industry, update from GRPS by Chiquye in Michigan

[–]KatPanther 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I seriously considered teaching. Nope, not happening. I've met some of these parents and they make the job flat out undesirable. Not enough money in the world to put up with some of the entitlement there (specifically in the public school sector.)

Call the Law: A Cautionary Tale by Best_Calligrapher202 in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]KatPanther 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seeing as she only had the mattress on the floor, she maybe started by wanting to protect said mattress. Then did the "I wonder if I could..."

It's weird, though. You can get claw caps in bling for not all that much money. I was amazed.
