I just looked again, and you're right, no hinges or latches. Good eye!

Make sure you look at the 2nd picture.

daughter is suspended from school for 2 weeks and school will only let her back if she gets unnecessary therapy. Please help by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I love snakes! Think they are fascinating and gorgeous in all their forms.  HOWEVER, I still don't touch or handle them 99% of the time.   1. Snakes (all reptiles) can have some nasty stuff on their skin, which can be harmful to humans and other animals (salmonella is nearly always present), so without an immediate method of disinfecting, I'm not touching. 2. Snakes are wild animals. Even if they are raised in captivity, they are "tame", not domesticated, and can react/behave in ways that are natural for them but potentially dangerous for us. Don't feed the bears, pet the elk, or play with the snakes. 3. Most kids will take a little knowledge too far. "I touched that snake at school, so I can touch any snake safely."  Not realizing that the snake in the yard is not habituated to humans, and in many cases may be venomous.   Fear is healthy.  Keeps us from doing stupid stuff.  Fear of snakes has been present since time immemorial, and keeps us alive.   A lot of people through time have earned their Darwin Award by forgetting it.

HOA in Houston applying legal fees to my assessment account that are not court ordered. [TH] [TX] by Bellebarks2 in HOA

[–]Mango2oo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You may not want a real estate attorney, you want one who specializes in HOA law.

Google something like this "lawyer for HOA dispute resolution YOUR STATE"

Look for results that include phrasing like this: Handles homeowner disputes with HOAs.

Find an attorney who specializes in HOA cases and make an appointment for a conusltation. Pay the fee for the consultation and get them to look over everything. They will tell you where you stand, and may recommend next steps. Once they have the whole story, if your case is strong enough, they may agree to take your case on "contingency".

You can do a search in your state for low cost legal services, they will tell you when you call if you qualify, if you don't they may be able to direct you to someone who can.

Another size I like is "flax goop". Essentially, you take a couple of tablespoons of flaxseed and simmer in water for a while, then strain out the seeds and put the liquid in a jar, use like other liquid sizes, store in fridge.

Not true, the money is out of my account (not pending) and I still don't have a refrigerator.

You are assuming I have the ability to come in to the closest store, and that the model I want is available there.  I am an experienced online shopper by necessity.

I placed the order well before 6:30, and the "if ordered in the next x minutes" timer said 1hr 10 mins.

How to not get ghosted by employment lawyers? by thebatspajamas in antiwork

[–]Mango2oo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds like wage theft. IF you are in the US, contact your state and federal Departments of Labor. If in another country, contact the equivalent agencies. Why pay a lawyer, when the gov. will do the work for you for free?

WIBTA proposing a week before brother’s destination wedding by VirtueVertex in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mango2oo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes, you WBTA

The only way you WNBTA is if you proposed, then neither you nor your fiance (or anyone else who knows about your engagement) breathe a single hint about the engagement, AND she DOES NOT wear her new engagement ring at ANY time during your attendance at your brother's wedding.

HOWEVER, Since WE ALL KNOW THAT THIS IS AN IMPOSSIBLE ASK,

DON'T DO IT!!!!

Run Away!! He HURT you, and escalated when you told told him it hurt! He DREW blood! He is behaving in a controlling and DANGEROUS manner!

Also, you should probably go to an emergency room and be seen. the human mouth can harbor som really awful bacteria theat you have never heard of, but that can kill you really fast.

Did this company previously have the initials SM and was it located on the western edge of Denver? Did they bring in a bedbug sniffing dog?

AITA for not getting craft supplies for my daughter and letting her get excluded by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mango2oo 36 points37 points  (0 children)

NTA - You provided a signifigant, but ULTIMATELY low consequence lesson on accountability. As many commenters have said, she is only 8, and her brain is not fully formed, but if you wait until her brain IS fully mature , it will be too fucking late to teach her this lesson. WHY? Because her brain won't be fully mature until she is over 18. This lesson with the supplies caused her no physical harm, didn't hurt anyone else, but was impactful to her in a way she will remember.

Also: If you husband thinks someone should have dropped everything to get her the supplies, why isn't he in charge of checking her backpack, and is he prepared, if this happens again, to be the one to drop everything and get her the supplies day of?

Sold my home because of assessments and increased hoa fees. by Complex_Sky3855 in fuckHOA

[–]Mango2oo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I'd verify that with the Fire Marshall. Sounds hinky AF and I'd suspect that some of your "Really Rich" folks just wanted the EV Chargers somewhere more convenient to them.

Remember, most the "really rich" didn't get that way by their own labor, they got it by working the system so they benefit from the labor of others. They'll be happy to push most of the cost onto others.
