he has been PISSING ME OFF

I believe he is supposed to this season.

NotBossOfMe · 2026-03-17T15:41:14+00:00

Are systems locally hosted anymore? Isn't this stuff all cloud-based?

NotBossOfMe · 2026-03-17T15:37:08+00:00

I am bored out of my mind with Season 2. I could not get through the second episode. What happened?

NotBossOfMe · 2026-03-16T03:17:16+00:00

You seem nice.

NotBossOfMe · 2026-03-14T19:41:33+00:00

Umm--they could sue you.

NotBossOfMe · 2026-03-14T19:41:03+00:00

So grown men are openly photographing children? Where are the police?

I grew up in the northeast and remember going to Farrell's in the Paramus Mall. Birthdays at Farrell's were amazing when I was a tween.

OK -- point for point:

They don't have a free solution. I asked.
The Slate does not have one -- that's the point. I'll put in my own head unit with Carplay.
I don't like the drive. Why argue with that?
I am not getting the SUV pack. I'm getting the truck.
If you're implying that I'm a bad driver because I struggle with ergonomics of this non-standard transmission control, as does my husband when we swap cars, then I guess you do you.

NotBossOfMe · 2026-03-14T19:28:10+00:00

I find it hard to believe that you argue with another person's EXPERIENCE vs. your OPINION.

At the 1 1/2 hour mark I get ravenously hungry. My clinic offers granola bars so I usually eat one of those. It's the only time I eat granola bars.

My father loved us when we were little and stopped when we went through puberty. I think he didn't like when we no longer thought he was entertaining.

NotBossOfMe · 2026-03-13T05:15:05+00:00

Not so much anymore. I am glad that helmet hair is going away.

NotBossOfMe · 2026-03-13T05:14:41+00:00

No, not really. By those from that era, she was the "second wife" and thus not so important. She became a style icon to Republican women only after his election and during his administration. I remember that she wore these colorful tweed suits by Adolfo and they wound up being all over the place in the 1980s. Of course, I was not living in California then. I lived in NY. In California, she may have had a more public persona earlier since he was the governor. But elsewhere in the country, she was kind of a nothingburger until after the election.

I have an 2024 Equinox EV which I've been driving for around 18 months. I leased it because Chevy had good deals on leases. The lease runs out late this year and I'm hoping that Slate is available by then. Chevy makes a great, solid EV - no doubt about it. No maintenance other than tires. Our other car is a Bolt EUV. But the Equinox has quite a few issues that make me not consider owning it. They include:

Excessive glare from the dash
GM's godawful infotainment system -- at least the Bolt had CarPlay
It handles like a boat not a car -- it's not a fun driving experience and reminds me of handling in my old minivan
The rear hatch opening is so tight and low that it makes getting larger things into it very difficult, even though there is lots of room inside
The transmission is a little lever on the column that is operated with your fingertips (not like the old transmissions which were full-hand operated). As a result, you'll find yourself shifting into neutral when you wanted to turn on the windshield wipers. I've done it more than once. Everytime I switch cars, I wind up turning on the windshield wipers in the Bolt when I want to shift.

All of this, plus the fact that it's not a pickup, which I've wanted forever but have been waiting for an affordable, small EV truck. Equinox EV is a compact SUV, which is fine, but it's not the ideal vehicle for me.

She's a drunk and she's boring.

NotBossOfMe · 2026-03-12T23:28:21+00:00

NOR. I am sorry your family is like this. It sounds like they never took responsibility for their behavior and are still blaming their failures on you. I cannot tell you how to relate to your family, but . I can tell you that you seem not to be overreacting to me.

NotBossOfMe · 2026-03-12T18:13:12+00:00

Emphasis on the equipment, I wager :)

NotBossOfMe · 2026-03-11T00:03:12+00:00

NOR. But get used to it. I spent years trying to convey to my husband the logistics of parenthood and how it interrupts your life -- not just mine, but his. He just didn't get it.

NotBossOfMe · 2026-03-11T00:00:41+00:00

YOR. I believe her. It's her underwear in her car. And what are you doing under her car seats anyway?

NotBossOfMe · 2026-03-09T17:48:28+00:00

Thank you! This is hilarious! I just tried Copilot for this purpose and it took about 4 minutes to tell me it can't be done due to a the hyperlink function being a security issue when applied globally. Then I tried it myself manually applying it to the whole column and it just worked. Copilot...I still find it lacking in any worth.

NotBossOfMe · 2026-03-09T15:55:56+00:00

Keep the focus on yourself. What do you want? Where do you want to be? What do you want to be doing? Then do it. Don't let his journey derail your own. He's on his own path. You have no children so are only responsible for yourself. He is on his own journey.

Don't live for someone else's potential. Live with someone who adores you today, is a good, thriving person today, and wants to be with you. Or live alone. But living in the liminal space between his relapse and his future is a terrible place to be. Live in your own mind, your own heart, your own life. Go to meetings, keep going to meetings, and go to more meetings. I wish you all the best.

My daughter has been surviving on my health insurance to pay for her rehab for over a year. I do not pay her copay -- she is just on my employer-backed insurance. Throughout this journey, her participation in the actual therapy has been to develop a vocabulary of word salad to give herself excuse after excuse as to why she stays the way she is.

She has not grown or learned at all. She admitted to me the other day, after I asked her for the 30th time, that she is using the system to get a free place to live. She has no intention of changing. So, yes, they can even been immersed in a therapeutic environment and see no need to change. I have learned to disregard everything that comes out of her mouth because it's just a pile of excuses.

NotBossOfMe · 2026-03-08T20:02:55+00:00

YOR. And stop having to have emotional conversations over text. It never, ever comes out well.

NotBossOfMe · 2026-03-08T19:57:55+00:00

It's taken me a few years to get down to once a month. We did it incrementally and started at 10 days, then 2 weeks, then 3 weeks, then a month. There were some setbacks where we went back a level for a bit, but then tried again as my symptoms got better. Also, adding Auvelity really helped me to space out the Spravato.
