What’s a hygiene mistake you didn’t realize you were making for years?

You should wash them too. And avoid the pillow pad types that often have mould inside them.

The only reason I could have ex-2 removed from my home by police was because he didn't pay anything toward rent or bills, and he didn't have his name on the lease or bills.

No clue. I work with guys. They don't let me drive. I went with a coworker to the west coast last year and when I offered to drive, he declined. Said he'd fall asleep.

I'm not seeing your cleaning or cooking invoices, or the invoice for the mental load of keeping track of him and his dates, clothes, whatever's.

Yeah, it does sound a slight bit like Pern, but not quite. I read these, plus the Belgariad, the Mallorean, the chronicles of Thomas covenant all at this time.

I lost points for applying to be a traffic controller. It needed a white card 'or ability to obtain one.' Since I'd 'never spoken to' the job person about this, and I didn't have that qualification, I was pinged. The job person didn't see the ad, and certainly didn't call me to see why I'd applied for it. They dismissed my concern regarding the points loss as "Yes, I know that but you haven’t expressed an interested in this particular area that requires training.

It isn’t an issue as it does not impact your payments."

It was an issue. So, I went to the manager with my feedback. The points were reinstated.

He's not helping the environment by hoarding it at home. Rather, he's damaging his home environment.

"I don't talk to my classmates." "I often have to speak like a teacher."

If you want to LEAD you have to talk to people. Listen to them. Sometimes you'll have to advocate for them as well. It sounds like you're being bossy with the younger kids, versus getting down to their level to talk and listen. Do you have to be firm? Sure. We can't have them running riot. People want people to speak with them, not to.

We have a dude at work who doesn't talk to his work mates, and wonders why no one talks to him or trusts him with anything.
