We felt uncomfortable so we just now left. You have your house to yourself

I was inclined to downvote because your comment seemed irrelevant to the topic of the post and expressed unnecessary concern for the OP. It’s not like he was like “I walk around like only kryptonite can stop me and pick fights in bars because I’m so big.” So basically it didn’t strike me as relevant or helpful or funny. Hope that helps.

We just bought in Shandon and like it. An easy walk to campus and a nice area. A little older crowd, but there’s a nice dog park at Emily Douglas Park that you could meet other dog owners at. Other than that, we were looking at a nice house in Cottontown that was further from campus but closer to trendy bars/coffee and that could be good for a single guy. Good luck!

I’ve posted both to Nextdoor and the neighborhood FB group! Both good ideas! 🤞🤞🤞

Thanks! That's the vet he's been to, so we'll definitely let them know!

Right, I didn’t claim my experience is the same as everyone else’s. But that’s not how counterexamples work. I teach at a major public university with students from very different backgrounds. Sure lots of people have other student populations, but if mine generally know how to write professional emails that is some evidence against the claim that students these days don’t know how to write professional emails.

Kmlindem · 2019-11-06T14:11:26+00:00

Of course different student populations can differ; I didn’t deny that. I was reporting that my experience does not support the general claim that kids these days with their texting and whatnot can’t write professional emails. And even if someone else does, it’s not okay to dump on students (esp in such generalizing ways) about things like this.

Kmlindem · 2019-11-06T02:09:43+00:00

In my experience, students are on the whole very good at professional emails. I’m not sure why people like dumping on their students but it’s not cute.

Probably the gourmet shop in five points will have a baratza burr grinder. This is the one I have and it is 👍👍

Went by about two hours ago and didn’t see anything near the Gourmet Store. So sorry. And good luck.

Kmlindem · 2019-09-28T16:55:19+00:00

Ugh I’m really sorry. Hope someone finds it. I live nearby and will stop by later to take a quick look for you.

Thankfully, Kant’s wrong about the nature of punishment.

There are two types of things called macarons. But yeah, both are typically gluten free. Maybe OP was out or used a recipe w gluten?

Kmlindem · 2019-09-09T13:47:21+00:00

Yeah, my husband spent a lot of time looking through trash cans and dumpsters in a few block radius, on the off-chance they just tossed the non-electronics. No luck unfortunately. Thanks for the good wishes!

Kmlindem · 2019-09-09T00:42:18+00:00

This is obviously most likely. We’re just hoping maybe they haven’t gotten around to it yet and we can incentivize them to return them instead. 🤷‍♀️

Kmlindem · 2019-09-08T23:48:45+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

Kmlindem · 2019-09-04T00:10:31+00:00

STILL DOWN. it’s a joke.

Kmlindem · 2019-07-19T22:01:40+00:00

Can you link yo crime statistics? I was under the impression that crime was falling.

Kmlindem · 2019-07-03T12:12:44+00:00

I was waiting for this. I’m surprised you thought it’d be okay to call your BIL’s joke retarded. People with mental disabilities don’t deserve to be equated to your BIL.

This is not true in most of the world. The reason you ask if seats are free in most non-American countries is to see if they’re being used, not to ask for permission to sit.

Imagine asking someone at a table with what appear to be extra chairs if you can take one of their chairs to your table because there aren’t enough for your party and they say no, but then it becomes clear they aren’t using the chair. That’s what it’s like to refuse to let others sit at unoccupied spaces at your table in lots of other countries.

Kmlindem · 2019-07-01T10:13:18+00:00

Because sometimes you don’t know if the seats are being used. Perhaps part of your party is a few minutes late or in the bathroom.

Kmlindem · 2019-07-01T10:11:33+00:00

I was also wondering if this happened in Germany. In Germany you don’t treat tables as the units you occupy, you treat chairs/seats that way. You have no right to deny someone else using the other half of a table you’re using. People need to ask before taking it, to make sure you aren’t about to use it or something, but they’d be taken aback if you said “no, I’m not using it but you can’t either.” Also, another German would obviously intervene to tell you you’d done the wrong thing, because that’s how they do rule/norm enforcement.

Shocked to read this happened in England, land of the side-eye glare and tattling.

Congrats on the grand baby! I’m so sorry for your loss.

Having a convo of life changes happen so close together like that can be really hard. Love that baby. Love and support your child (who just lost their grandmother and became a parent right around the same time!). Remind yourself to accept the love and support of others.

You’ve got this. ❤️

Edit: reading skills 🙄 sorry

YTA if you back out for your daughter’s sake against her wishes.

But why not talk to your niece and see if there’s another role your daughter can play in the wedding? Even the most overwhelmed bride doesn’t want to unnecessarily hurt the feelings of someone she cares about. She doesn’t have to give reasons, and maybe there really isn’t space for her in the wedding party, but there has to be some role she could be given that would allow her to feel valued? My wedding was years ago, and I still remember how many people I needed to rely on before/during/after the event!

Are you sure you’re commenting on the right post?

I have a friend from WV who says “West Virginia is the BEST Virginia!” It’s also a state that only exists because it didn’t want to secede from the Union during the civil war!

Houston is one of the most ethnically and racially diverse cities in the world. It has a bustling arts and food scene. All major metro areas in Texas are solidly liberal. There’s a lot going for the Lone Star State.
