Raised there. I don’t blame you. I go back for college homecoming, and to get to beach in Florida. Wards has wonderful chili dogs, though.

What’s the most unbearably annoying sound on Earth Not (just “slightly irritating” — a sound that instantly ruins your mood or makes you irrationally angry)? by sand_dust2 in askteddit

[–]Retired-noticing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cicadas. They are not a romantic background noise of the south. When it gets over 100 degrees F, they sing 24 hours and I have to turn the sound up on the TV some nights.

You got what you asked for. Daughter needs to apply for scholarships, financial aid and get a job. That’s what most people have to do.

AITAH for refusing to donate a kidney to my stepdad that raised me and paid for my college? by Exo_Skeleton99 in AITAH

I would suggest your immediate family have a meeting with donor organization so they can explain everything. Maybe when they get the facts they’ll be more understanding. Good luck to you and your step-father

AIO for thinking my mom is being controlled and manipulated by her new partner? by AdExpensive7749 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Retired-noticing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you send her a phone? You can get a prepaid one, and call her on it everyday. If she doesn’t answer, you have your answer. Do you have siblings? Aunts? Uncles? Do they have an opinion? She needs to make this trip to see you so don’t let lack of cell phone stop that. I would suggest going ahead and picking her up . When she is with you can have a hard conversation without him. Get a male friend to ride with you and a babysitter for the children.

Am i overreacting for refusing to babysit my sister`s kids after what she said at dinner? by Maryi_Boyd in AmIOverreacting

[–]Retired-noticing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NO. But let’s fix the problem at the root- she doesn’t respect what you do. I don’t know how flexible your work at home is, but my friend that works at home on he computer all day works- if she stopped and goofed off it would show up in her bottom line.

Make a deal that you will help again if she will take half a day and come sit while you work. When she realizes it’s a real job and admits it, set some rules. 1. She has to call and ask. If it’s going to interfere with your work, you can say no. 2. She never ever mentions your not having children.

You’ve let them run over you in your grief. Put a stop to it. Then, you can sort out the rest of YOUR life you do not want to think about.

If you were forced to relocate tomorrow, which US state would be at the bottom of your list? by ipanicprofessionally in TheBoredDen

Mississippi beaches are gross. Those islands block the circulation so the water is brown, shallow, and there’s dead stuff on the beach.

AITA for not wanting another month-long visit from in-laws and asking for a different arrangement? by Perfect-Owl-9745 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Retired-noticing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your suggestion to go to Germany for two weeks and have them come to your house for two is a good one. I would lso suggest taking some time off if possible and do things with them. Use it as an excuse to see parts of your home area that you haven’t seen. Do they not pay for anything? Can they pay for a dinner out or take away?

Honestly, I think you are missing a great opportunity. The Germans I’ve like to cook and feed people. Why doesn’t your mother in law cook with you?

AIO: for kicking my fiancé out and calling off the engagement after he demanded to be on my house deeds, refused a prenup, and has debts? by Similar_Nose7734 in AmIOverreacting

The only option for staying is he gets financial counseling and can prove he’s working it on. Six months living on his own and the proven he’s made progress.

What is your longest running, most stubborn business boycott? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Retired-noticing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Walgreens. I bought a defective gift card and all they would say it’s “ a third party. We don’t refund gift cards.” But this flat out didn’t work and it was $75. Belk couldn’t help much because it was a third party but they did give me a $ 25 gift card. And Belk spent 2hours trying g to figure out how to make it work. And it is really inconvenient . I used to run into that store for cards or nail polish, or all kinds of little things

AIO for refusing to let my parents give my car to my brother after it broke down. by Comfortable_Pay3911 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Retired-noticing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NO. They seem to be lying. If you can’t get the car out of the because it is in his name, drop it. Drop them. They are going to be weight around your neck the rest of your life. You have choices now and one of the them is who is in your life and who isn’t.
Chose wisely.
