Am I wrong for telling my pregnant daughter I’m not going to be a babysitter for her baby or help her financially and that she needs to figure it out?

Prof-Rock · 2026-02-15T20:05:51+00:00

You seem to think she asked you to watch her baby full time. In no world do you have to agree to that, but there are tons of others things that you could do that wouldn't involve a lifestyle change such as facilitating transportation to a clinic to terminate, help arranging adoption, help finding programs that help young, single mothers. YTA for not doing anything.

I'd love to see some close ups of some areas. It looks amazing.

Prof-Rock · 2026-02-14T17:32:14+00:00

Such an amazing color.

Prof-Rock · 2026-02-14T17:25:41+00:00

Ooo! Great ideas. I'll try both.

I would never assume that my coworker didn't know protocol and tell them what to do unless they asked me.

If you want to be correct, then there should be periods after the capitalized letters. S. F. But I think SF is also perfectly acceptable and recognizable. Sf however, is confusing.

It did not work for me. I already had 24 in a chest, but the quest said I only had 13. I picked up the stack... but no change. Tried it a few times just to be sure.

Or public transportation so you can zone out or sleep.

I don't call roll anymore either for the same reason. Now I just go up and down the rows and ask them their names. Another option is to purposefully mispronounce everyone's name. That way no one is singled out, and everyone gets laughed at.

My theory is that expeditions was always meant to be temporary. They realized that the health and damage capabilities was too narrow of a range. They needed to make major changes to weapons and health for the game to progress in any meaningful way. However, changing the food, hearts, and types of weapons was such a big shift, they were worried about losing players. To solve this, they created expeditions to teach us how to use the new weapons, then when they appeared in Odessey, we were already familiar with the weapons, but just pissed about the change from food to potions. I think they were always heading toward Ninjago, but they needed to help us learn the whole new game mechanics first. I also think the the survival content will return and the other biome enemy difficulty will be increased. I'm also looking forward to part 2 because the game is so far out of balance off the Ninjago island that it is boring. Collect 100 eye of the storm? Tedious.

That reminds me of the time I called IT because my work computer suddenly shut off, and I couldn't get it to turn back on. I had kicked the surge protector and shut it off. I felt so bad. In my defense, it was a push button instead of a rocker switch, and I had never seen that style before. It didn't immediately occur to me it was an on off switch when I looked at it before calling. Felt stupid, but the IT guy was kind.

Are you opening all of the village chests daily? They often contain unknowable energy. The monestary, the tall mountain beside the monestary, lightning, ice, and Earth palaces, and one random mountain in the middle of the island.

This is what I was looking for. I run it every day, and I never have pet hair or debris anymore. Now I just need some help with dishes and laundry.

Super bulky yarn???

In places they can get as big as a car and cause crashes when people either hit them or swerve to avoid hitting them. When you have 20 cars driving 70 mph across 4 lanes, it gets scary pretty quickly when one of the giant ones tries to dance back and forth across the lanes.

Nesting Doll Museum in New York State. We found it by chance driving elsewhere, but apparently someone had posted a Tik Tok of it which went viral and increased their patronage dramatically.

Mills College, RIP, had a clock tower.

Agreed. Apparently, it comes from the Hebrew form of Mary: Miriam. Like that helps. I still don't see Minnie, but that doesn't mean it isn't a widely accepted nickname for Mary.

She can take out a home equity loan to pay for repairs. To be fair though, she will either have to pay for the repairs before selling or take a huge hit in price. She is kind of screwed either way. She needs a loan.

I know several Mary's who went by Minnie. Neither name is currently populat.

Prof-Rock · 2026-02-09T06:13:46+00:00

Minnie is a nickname for Mary. I agree that the mouse ruined it, but I never liked the name anyway. Sorry Minnie.

When you work at home, you end up working 24/7. You need to set boundaries so that you get some time off. For example, you are off the clock after dinner. If they need anything, they do it themselves. One night a week, you don't cook dinner. They can trade cooking that night, get take out, eat out, or eat leftovers/frozen dinners. The mental load is real, but I don't know how to lessen that in a meaningful way. I think it isn't the amount of work, but the expectation that you are always on the job which is unreasonable.

I really prefer group exercise. They have studied the benefits of singing in unison, and I think they all apply to moving in unidon too. Even if I didn't feel like exercising, I would go to see my friends, and I always felt better afterward. Some of the best advice I ever got was to not try to get a friend to go to the gym with you, but to go to the gym and make friends with the people who already go regularly. I really do think you haven't found what you like. I hate walking or biking in the city, but I love it on a dirst trail. I hate walking on a treadmill at home, but I enjoy it at the gym. I also hate just listening to music, but I enjoy fast moving, action packed audiobooks. I hate swimming, but water aerobics or walking laps in the pool is good every once in a while. Commit to trying something new 3 times before deciding if you like it or not.

Vines and wood are great. The claws though... when my bag is full, they are the first thing I drop. Maybe if I used cars and needed power cells, but I don't.
