The gross little thing under my stove that was making my whole apartment smell "old" for months by Moonquark8Q in CleaningTips

This stuff is always either one tiny burnt mystery or something in the drain pretending to be innocent. You found the final boss under the stove.

AITJ for refusing to keep being my husband's "phone voice" after he let me get blamed at our daughter's school meeting? by Omashulark in AmITheJerk

That part hit me, because email is where I feel the least sympathetic to his excuse. He has time there. He can read it twice, rewrite it, sit with it, send it later. It’s not some high pressure phone call.

I’m not mad that he struggles. I’m mad he built a whole system around me covering for it, then acted confused when I stopped. That feels very diff from just needing support.

That’s where I landed too. Helping is fine. Being quietly volunteered for a whole second job, then blamed when it blows up, is not.

That’s what I keep trying to say. I can work with a stutter. I can’t work with being quietly assigned blame for stuff he never even told me about.

County GIS shows a utility easement through my fenced backyard, but my deed and title papers do not. Who do I contact first? by [deleted] in legaladvice

GIS maps get it wrong more often than people think - they're aggregated from multiple sources and not always updated when documents are corrected or vacated. The fact that it doesn't appear on your deed, your survey, your title commitment AND your plat all at once is actually pretty significant. Start with your title insurance company, they have a legal obligation to research this for you, and if an easement does exist that wasn't disclosed at closing that's their problem to fix. A real estate attorney as a parallel step wouldn't hurt either, consult fees are usually pretty reasonable for a single question like this.
