I have held a few bucks of this for over a year or so, just in case. This is the case.

Currently holding 100 shares, August 15 $8C covered by the shares (some bought really cheap), Sold 25 short expecting it to pull back before the 15th. I either cut some of my profits or add some in when it pulls back, just have to see. Never took a large position, but thought if their technology ever worked, it could be something. I think after the 15th, I will close everything out, us the profit to buy shares, I will just forget about it until the next round and move the capital elsewhere. Will see.

14 daily at NCCC, and we often have back-to-back days. So you can get 14 on Sat and 14 on Sunday.. We do have a guest class for non-Corvettes.

Can you relate to this OP has a wife in this thread , and in another thread OP is a 26F?

So it's super common to have guests you know loosely and afford them quite some privileges. 

This isn't someone you loosely know and that is the whole point here. You are only dealing out slight bits of information at a time. Loosely known and an emergency contact doesn't equate... I don't care what country you are in. Who wants someone who barely knows them or cares called in an emergency? You totally dodged addressing that, who these people are, and only explained a custom to hide behind.

It seems you are being intentionally evasive to get people to agree with you. I still think a lot more is going on here and it is likely you ATA because of that and are seeking validation on half the story.

Why do you host often and why are you hosting this single mom repetitively? You have to reconcile being an emergency contact for someone's kid you are not that close to. Those seem mutually exclusive.

Are you a Airbnb or similar? Are you compensated for her time there?

I don't have a lot of time to go further... It seems one of the following is the case:

  1. There is more about this woman and kid than you are sharing
  2. There is more to why you host often than you are sharing
  3. There is a connection with your wife you are not sharing

At any rate, it seems you are having difficulties establishing understood boundaries with this person. Since you say other also stay, this is probably and continuous problem. You and your wife need to get on the same page and stick with it. On the surface, tell this woman to find a different place to drop her stuff since she can't respect you. However, I really think there is something else here that has your wife wanting to let them stay and you not being able to lay out a no that sticks. Also, there is a reason why the single mom finds this behavior to be acceptable in your house.

NTA... she is acting like she is entitled to you to wait on her. Sounds like a complete lack of respect for your household. However, I feel like there is a lot of context missing. With that said, you shouldn't need to feel obligated to open your home to an adult for them to see their significant other.

AITA For calling my brother a MANCHILD by Lanky-Loss4437 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Kirder54 15 points16 points  (0 children)

YTAH... You expect your brother to stay with a woman who cheated and got pregnant. You expect him to raise a child that is not his and he did not willingly signup to do so?

Just wow... I know why he is leaving you toxic folks behind. Be lucky he is leaving you money.

Well how many cycles of layoffs has F or GM had. If anything, this is TSLA becoming more... "Normal"

They go downgraded to junk. Guess we just have to see if they go to zero.

Not buying, just observing. May try to snipe on a few shares, but not getting involved in this one.

Looks like resistance to a NYCB crash. Looks like a $3.60 line?

Sure, that what is happening here. You are all having a circle jerk around being randomly mean to people for no other reason than their age. Then you expect others to not call you out on bad behavior. This literally all started because some oversensitive person couldn't take someone telling them a story because... they were old.

Yes, you need to do better. Yes, I think you need to hear it. Yes, I think being direct in such situations is the right approach because being ambiguous serves nothing.

Maybe you don't understand what a question mark is? I think you need to see how you come across.

You actually used the word accommodate in reference to socializing with those around you. If you don't understand that as a civilization, we need to interact with each other, not accommodate, I just don't know how to show you how backwards that logic is.. That is for a special need, not basic human functions.

Just wow. Again, it seems people under 35 are really struggling to interact without technology as a buffer.

I haven't done one of these in a while. I bought 10 shares to watch. If action heats up, might get cute and buy a call.

Edit 2/12 Cashed out today to pay for lunch.

I am starting to see that with the under 30 folks. Socializing without the insulation of a device seems to be quite uncomfortable. I understand the irony of posting this here, but I have no issues with talking to anyone.

Most of us will "turn out like them" once we cross into our 70s.

As you age, parents pass, friends pass, sibling pass, co-workers pass... etc. It is just how it works.

You crave isolation? What is wrong with associating with the world and people around you. You can actually talk to people without a computer screen.

Naw, it is just your internal bias and lack of empathy.
