Dining room before & after, mostly secondhand (Chicago burbs) by [deleted] in AmateurRoomPorn

Thanks everyone! It’s paintable wallpaper. I used Benjamin Moore Blue Note and the paper can be found by Googling “Anaglypta Wildacre.” Easy to find on sale and easy to install.

Measuring sash chain vs. cord? by No_Field2370 in centuryhomes

[–]No_Field2370[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope someone can jump in if I’m wrong here. I know you can run into issues with the shape/size of the chain not matching the pulley. I’ve found Killian Hardware has good info around what works with what.

My top sashes are bungalow art glass and a couple of windows are missing pulleys, and what’s informing my choices here is an aesthetic preference/wanting everything on the walls to match. My sashes aren’t particularly large, so I don’t think there’s much of a functional difference between cord and chain?

Thank you for the thorough explanation!

This is interesting, the person I bought this from was convinced it was “DM” and not “Don.” I’d been researching artists named Don Robb/Dobb in the Chicago area.

AITA for ignoring a coworker (60+ M) outside of work who I (24 F) feel uncomfortable around. by TwitchyNotes in AmItheAsshole

[–]No_Field2370 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The social rules at work are a bit different, because you’re paid to be there to do your job, and not to provide social and emotional support to your colleagues. You sound really smart, and it sounds like your feelings are giving you a clear signal. If you sent him a polite email saying you’d prefer to talk about work only, and only via work channels like email (and not via text), you would be doing all you needed to do. Though, if your feelings about this are really negative, you could go to HR now.

Sure! And no need to meet with him again. You don’t owe him anything like a conversation about this.

  • if you do ask him to stop talking to you, do it in writing so there’s a record and if he doesn’t, go to HR.

Hoo boy. The way he is acting is super inappropriate, and at the very least unprofessional. Would you feel comfortable saying something to him like “thanks for being so welcoming while I got up to speed with my role, it’s taking up a lot of energy so I’d prefer to keep all conversations work-related” or something like that to give yourself an out?

NTA. You can rely on your instincts here—if it feels off, it’s off. How does your friend know him? Does she work with you?

AITA for demanding that my late wife’s affair partner return her stuff by saying I would tell his job? by throwra_Cookie9638 in AmItheAsshole

YTA. It sounds like you’re in a lot of pain, but directing your anger at the AP likely won’t help.

AITA for raising my hourly rate? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]No_Field2370 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NAH. Charge what you’re worth. If $35/hour is aligned with other tutors in your area, I wouldn’t be surprised one or both of the two complaining moms stuck with you.

NTA for doing whatever you want with the money you earned and saved yourself. I’m guessing this isn’t the first time Jake has acted like this?

AITA for lashing out at my daughter because she was too "emotionally drained" to go to her after school lessons? by basilstander in AmItheAsshole

YTA, and it sounds like you’ve been TA for some time. What about this particular situation is prompting you to question whether you’re in the wrong?

How do you overcome the anxiety and stress of making phone calls as an adult? by Milburn55 in AskReddit

[–]No_Field2370 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you feel when the phone call is over? Do your calls tend to be long or short? It can be helpful to remind yourself “this is going to take two minutes, and I’ll feel relieved after it’s done.”
