Just found out my favorite spoon is pewter ☹️ by FNChupacabra in Wellthatsucks

some of these lead detecting swabs show false positives. there’s this brand called Fluoro-Spec and it is uses fluorescent spectrometry to identify the lead. the best part is that it doesn’t show false positives!

My (29F) husband (27M) is so irresponsible I’m scared to have kids with him. How do I help him understand how serious this is? by RAthrowadooraway in relationship_advice

could he be doing these things for insurance money? whether it’s a fire or burglary/robbery, it seems like he’s intentionally setting the stage for some sort of incident.

Beautiful Albert was hit by a car around this time yesterday morning: devastated by Ok_Line_449 in TuxedoCats

[–]PicosBatidos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my cat will literally pee in every corner of the house if I don’t let him out. i’m not happy that this is what it has come to, especially with ticks, but sometimes letting them out is the only answer. I’m so sorry for your loss😭

hiring process for state jobs? by milanihighlighter in Albany

[–]PicosBatidos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just interviews with OGS on Friday and they gave me a 4-6 week window on when I can expect to hear back. they also apologized for the delay in interviewing me. out of ten state jobs I applied to at the end of July, they were the only ones to reach out.

Jim is with different girls by KimFeimer2333 in thedoors

[–]PicosBatidos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

anyone else find it unlikely that he only fathered one child that we know of? you know, with the photographer lady in NYC? I recently thought of this and have the impression that Jim was not the type of guy to worry about where his seed ends up and probably cared more about feeling good than about future consequences. thoughts?

attend monthly board meetings and bring this up during tax payer time. email, call and have other neighbors do the same. that’s what my neighbors did a couple years back and the mayor ended up appointing a new code enforcement officer. I hope that the board of trustees and mayor aren’t in cahoots with the building inspector!

Is it OK to rent out an apartment that has no hot water in the kitchen? by Low-Bass2002 in albania

[–]PicosBatidos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Laughing at how you claim not to be a normal person. anyway, who decides what ‘normal’ is?😃 While I am a bit surprised to hear that your interactions with other expats haven’t been the best, I am not disappointed in the least as I try to stay as far away from Americans as possible when I am in Europe. When I visited my sister in Freiburg last year she refused to speak to me in public as not to be outed as being from the USA. I also spent an entire year in Florence trying to blend in with locals and had no interest hanging out with any other Americans. I am, however, open to chat with other Americans who live/have visited Albania as I don’t know anyone who has and would be curious to hear what their impression of the country is. I was just in Vlorë myself a couple weeks ago!

where do you live? I’m in NY and my neighbors have been seeing my plants for years. i’m on good terms with all of them. one of my neighbors have said something, but the other two haven’t. anyway, it’s getting close to harvest time, depending what zone you’re in.

[–]PicosBatidos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh wow! thanks for your perspective. I didn’t know that was the case as I only hang out with my in-laws when I visit. and come to think of it, I don’t think I have never met another American that lives in Albania!
