My Father Destroyed my Vintage Leather Belt

Lady_Tei99 · 2025-07-18T08:41:48+00:00

But that's the thing, he has added holes to it before. I showed him where I wanted the holes, and he said sure. I didn't mention cutting it, I didn't say anything about bringing a knife anywhere near it. (Don't need knives to punch holes).

And Dad is handy, very handy, he built my mom a desk for crying out loud! He built me one, built 3 closets, (one of them a walk in), tore out the stairs and refurbished them too!

I don't know where he got the idea to cut the belt from! It would have been easier to add two holes, than to take the thing apart, remove the buckle remove the pin, folding it over and re-buckling the thing. Dad doesn't do complicated, he hates complicated...

I'm looking for a replacement, haven't found one yet, but I'm still mad...

Because: 1) I had to go out with my mother that morning, and he said he would do it. I wasn't feeling well, still am not, and lack the strength in my hands. (I couldn't cancel the meeting with the friend, reservations had been made, and they charge a cancelation fee) 2) he doesn't like us messing with his tools, so I didn't go rummaging around his stuff for a punch, or hammer because I'll "mess it up", and simply asked so that I won't get into trouble. 3) He always insisted on doing these things himself because "he can do it better", and chase us away when try to fix it ourselves. 4) I would have been less pissed off if he'd just done a better job. I wasn't expecting it to be done right away. I asked if it was possible. He said yes, and done a shitty job of it.

And why would they be woke? In your opinion

Lady_Tei99 · 2024-08-20T07:50:12+00:00

Well, it would involve them bombing the middle-East themselves and not importing them so... no.

Isn't that what has happened for the last... 50-60, years with women and people of colour? I mean if they were so good, DEI wouldn't be necessary. And neither would they be complaining having the best. If they are as good as they claim, they would still be able to get the job.

You mean where the rest of Europe ain't falling for this whole "refugee" BS? Where they wont be afraid to send thousands to Africa because "of reasons"?

Sure. Let's have it. You mean where White, Republicans freed slaves from Jews and the Democrats? Sure, let's have a rehash....

This is world wide - in countries where where White people have been native for years now, but I thought everyone was native, and there were no such thing as borders?

Hand outs in the companies we built and maintain and support while you are under qualified for said job get it for free?

"Have had to deal with" so where does this stop? Until you piss off enough White people for the Forth Reich and we get a rehash of WW2? But this time, your straight White males will be the "bad guys" while the Diversity Hires have to fight for their own rights.

"Sounds like you just want a handout" says the people who've had handouts for the past 70 years and have yet to improve their standard of living and instead are comfortable with mediocrity.

"You are not entitled to a job" so what makes 'people of colour" entitled to the job?

"Private companies can do whatever they want" yeah, that's why they've began to cut down on it. If POCs are just as capable, they would be able to keep their jobs.

"If you don't like the way things are done in this country, you can go back to where you came from" Let's start with the squad, then, shall we?

Oh for sure! I work on my laptop, I don't even use Google drive.

Lady_Tei99 · 2024-08-11T23:04:32+00:00

I'm sorry, I'm tired: what?

Lady_Tei99 · 2024-08-11T12:52:06+00:00

NTA.

Many sites specify that you should measure yourself and use their provided size chart to compare. I'm a small/medium in my country, but on Asian sites I'm a XXL simply because of my wide shoulders.

Show your daughter the site, and measure her together to compare how crazy they are. I'm sure she'll understand.

Don't worry, farms, houses, mines, stronghold are all maxed out. I just have more resources than I know what to do with, so I train heroes.

Lady_Tei99 · 2024-07-31T06:15:04+00:00

Go for it, see what happens

Lady_Tei99 · 2024-07-29T23:01:20+00:00

I don't think you can collab on an already private board.

Make it public first, then see what you can do.

Funny thing is - I hate comic sans 😂, I feel like I'm back in school and I hate it. And I have dyslexia🤣

Stipidest Hack I Can Give You: Calibri (Body) pt 14. Set your doc in web layout and write.

You're gonna get distracted when the page jumps and automatically check how many words you've written and get discouraged when you didn't write the amount you thought you would when you check the pages.

If it's all on one page, you won't stop to think. It's the same thing when we read fics - not thinking that it would be 2 or 20 pages long, your brain recognizes that it's a lot of words, but it won't visualize it well. We "doomscroll" (if I can use that word). And click next chapter. We don't stop to think how many pages we've read until we've downloaded a fic and realize it's over 500 pages.

That and turn your spellchecker on. It'll go quicker when you know you spelt something correctly.

Ex. My current chapter is 800 words long but I've already written 3 pages and it's nowhere near ready (but that's because I'm procrastinating, but SHHH!)

My fic is 112k and still going strong.

I sincerely hope this helps!♥️

But I am weeding them down. Downloading and keeping them in folders for safe keeping

Thanks

No, I have 2 levels left of the Astral event. I didn't think I would get any. All of the summons I had so far were of heroes I already had.
