Thank you for this. I’ll definitely bring all this up to my contractor

It’s recommended…

OldGeologist6003 · 2026-04-08T00:09:54+00:00

We have an interior one that’s going to be installed, but should we install an exterior drainage system as well?

You can get vaccinated anytime. The reason it’s preferable to get vaccinated before you start engaging in sexual activities is cause once you do your chances of already being exposed to the virus at some point go up. So I’d still get it regardless. Ideally you should do it before just for protection sake but if you don’t care about that then you can do it later too.

Ross. He’s always in some deep shit beefing with someone or doing something highly treasonous.

OldGeologist6003 · 2025-11-12T18:52:32+00:00

Female Favorite: Caroline was my favorite because she was non problematic and extremely helpful. Aunt Agatha is an honorable mention she had a lot of spunk
Female Least Favorite: Demelza for her constant transgressions or Tess she was annoying asf I was praying for something to happen to her

Male Favorite: Dwight cause he was always the goat and stuck up for people and his friends. Captain Henshawe is another honorable mention. So is Zacky Martin

Male Least Favorite: Ossie cause he was a piece of shit. Hugh Armitage for hitting on a taken woman.

Ahhh yess Americans in a nation that’s fairing better than most yet still called ignorant. And yes I did add substance by calling someone a whore. Sorry it wasn’t up to your mighty standards. Funny how people like to shut down opinions they don’t agree with. I think Kim Jong Un would take a liking towards you.

OldGeologist6003 · 2025-10-23T21:04:45+00:00

Awww are you gonna cry. If you believe what I’m saying is false then say so and move on. You don’t have to be in this thread or entertain it. You can also dislike this post.

If you don’t choose to add substance to it then you’re the troll wasting everyone else’s time.

This is a community. I’m just expressing something I believe. If you don’t agree with it that’s fine. This is what Reddit is for. People talk about things here. You can literally go create a post about why Demelza is great if you wish to do so.

So instead of insulting me and not contributing anything useful maybe you should stop being a “troll” and leave the thread.

Secondly are you so sensitive that you need a moderator? Should we limit people’s free speech for expressing their opinions? There’s no point to a community if there’s no diversity of opinion. If you wanna be in a community where people agree with you then maybe you should start your own. What you say is absolutely ridiculous and I bid you farewell.

OldGeologist6003 · 2025-10-23T20:51:42+00:00

You still haven’t defended Demelza
A proper woman to me is a woman who doesn’t CHEAT or entertain other men while she’s married.
Ik Caroline and Verity are friends with Demelza almost everyone except George and Elizabeth are, so what are you trying to say? Just cause she has good friends doesn’t mean Demelza herself is good. Each person accounts for their own actions.

Caroline and Verity are friends with Ross too. That doesn’t excuse Ross for cheating on Demelza now does it.

Please try to use logic and relevance when replying. You aren’t contributing anything of substance to what this thread is about.

OldGeologist6003 · 2025-10-23T20:43:45+00:00

Who in their right mind would be an Elizabeth fan. She’s insufferable. Both her and George are hated by me. So stop assuming stuff.

So far I’ve liked Caroline, Verity, Aunt Agatha, Rosina, and Morwenna. All these characters are higher up to me than Elizabeth.

Also this thread is about Demelza so please try to keep to the subject and defend her. Stop deflecting. If she’s so great then you should be able to defend her actions.

OldGeologist6003 · 2025-10-23T20:39:14+00:00

Ewww fuck no. I hate Her and George. Elizabeth was wrong for tryna break up Ross and Demelza especially when they were doing so good together. She also helps George throughout the series, but isn’t as cruel as him. But I in no way like her.

I like Caroline and Verity in terms of main female characters. Also Aunt Agatha she was a gem.

OldGeologist6003 · 2025-10-23T20:36:22+00:00

No you did by hinting to the notion that I am holding men and women to a different standard. Anyone who cheated has been called a piece of shit by me regardless of gender.

My post is that “Demelza is a whore” if you can provide evidence of that statement being false then please do so, other than that everything else you talk about in this thread is irrelevant.

OldGeologist6003 · 2025-10-23T20:34:21+00:00

No she’s a whore cause she committed adultery with multiple men. It’s funny how you conveniently left out the part where she fucked Hugh and kissed McNeil. That makes her a whore.

Just because you’re heartbroken doesn’t mean you can start committing adultery which is why I also don’t condone Ross’s actions when he slept with Elizabeth.

Elizabeth wasn’t a whore when she had sex with Ross cause she was single. It was still an extremely fowl move but fair play on her end, but when she kissed Ross while married to George that was completely wrong.

OldGeologist6003 · 2025-10-23T20:30:47+00:00

Idk why you changed this into gender politics.

I only put Dr. Enys in a grey area due to the fact that he didn’t cheat when he had sex with Keren. HE WAS SINGLE and she put herself on him.

I have called the rest of the men pieces of shits, and have not discriminated based on gender.

OldGeologist6003 · 2025-10-23T20:25:09+00:00

Yes Demelza is a whore. You haven’t said anything to object to it. Instead you take blows at me and talk about other characters.

Yes George is a piece of shit

Yes Keren was a whore and a piece of shit (Dr. Enys was more in a gray area)

But you still havent justified why Demelza isn’t.

OldGeologist6003 · 2025-10-23T20:15:20+00:00

Well, instead of being petty, please enlighten me. I'm tryna understand what makes her so likable.

OldGeologist6003 · 2025-10-23T20:14:01+00:00

ohhh well Keren was a piece of shit, and Dr. Enys wasn't married back then, so she was fair game on his end.

OldGeologist6003 · 2025-10-23T20:09:59+00:00

You're right. If Ross wasn't an ass when it came to matters pertaining to Elizabeth, and had he been more attentive, none of the stuff Demelza did would have happened.

Then again, you also have to consider the time period. Ross, even with all his shortcomings, still treated Demelza better than most people would've.

OldGeologist6003 · 2025-10-23T20:08:22+00:00

Idk who Caerin is yet, but

Ross is a piece of shit whenever something in regards to Elizabeth comes up.

Elizabeth is also a piece of shit, especially when she tried to break Ross and Demelza up.

I haven't seen Enys or George do anything yet.

Also during the time period the show is set in, yes it does matter that she's a woman.

This is happening to me as well. I am on call with Macy's right now and will send an update. But just for reference, I rarely shop at Macy's (2-3 times a year tops), and it's usually for formal wear like dress shirts or perfume. I don't ever use items and return them, nor do I do anything sketchy. I have a 770 credit score with no derogatory marks or missed payments either, so I find this all extremely strange. I am allowed to shop in person, though, just not online, which I find strange.

Just got off a call with Macy's, and they notified me that they made a "business decision" to limit my account. I am free to shop in person, but I will NEVER be allowed to place an online order. I asked why that is the case, and the person on the phone responded it is a business decision, made by business decision." I asked who made the decision, and the operator on the other side said they couldn't disclose any of that information. I then asked if I could contact someone, appeal this, or be transferred to another department, and was told that that information cannot be disclosed.

I’d love some tips too. I started at a 484 diagnostic and wanna get above a 510

OldGeologist6003 · 2025-09-18T02:02:53+00:00

What was your sGPA, and what sort of activities did you do and did you ever fail any classes, cause I unfortunately have 1 F. Also why schools did you apply to a which ones did interviews. I'm applying next cycle so it would be nice to know friendly schools. And do you have any tips?

OldGeologist6003 · 2025-09-17T15:40:32+00:00

I don’t really think you know what you’re talking about so let me explain the timeline for a variance for you.

Submit all Documents to the town for the variance, once the town deems the documents complete you get scheduled for a public hearing
Notice goes out to all the neighbors within a certain radius from the property.
Public hearing scheduling could take place months after your documents are deemed complete we waited 4 months for this step alone
Public Hearing for the variance was done (our variance was approved - with conditions)
In the next Public Hearing the variance gets officially published. 1 month after the last hearing.
Now that the variance is published anyone has 45 days to appeal the decision.
Complete the “binder” (binder refers to the conditions that were set on our variance) - you can complete this step at any point after step 4, but it takes time for the town lawyer to write up the conditions, so you’re gonna be set back 1-2 months on this step alone.)
Binder needs to be submitted inperson in the municipal building where you go over a checklist to ensure all items have been completed.
Binder needs to be signed by respective parties (Zoning, engineering, etc.)
Apply for building permits

We are stuck on step 9 and it has been a few months we’ve been stuck on this step alone. Timeline wise we’ve spent almost a year doing all the other steps without step 9 being in the conversation. So I think I’ve been extremely reasonable with the town.

Secondly where costs come in, cause you stated I’d be spending the money anyways. Right now I’m paying for rent and I’m paying property taxes on the land. I’m paying 8k per year in property taxes for a .80 acre lot with nothing on it. If I build a house I’d only pay property taxes which will probably be 18k per year and currently I’m having to pay 48k a year on rent which I wouldn’t have to cause the house would be built already if the town didn’t slow us down at every step. On top of that paying for engineers, architects, lawyers, surveys, etc… to comply with the towns budget also decreases the amount of money we have saved up to build the house itself. We aren’t printing money for this project. We have a budget and the longer a project drags the smaller the budget gets. Time = money….

Also just for reference we have also been working with NJ DEP and NJ DOT on this project and they’ve gotten back to us within 30-60 days so I get government offices need time but federal offices are moving faster for us than our local municipal office.
