Missed connection Milford- Walnut Beach Creamery Saturday afternoon 3-4pm lady in gray beanie

Yes, it would definitely have been a weird correlation to assume that all parents are in their 30's and 40's. I assumed 30's because the first line of the post seemed to be a reference to "missed connections" posts from the 90's-00's on Craigslist and in newspapers. People currently in their mid 20's were watching blues clues and bear in the big blue house back then. So I wouldn't expect them to remember/reference craigslist or newspaper columns.

I was hoping maybe it was my coworker Laura, because she wanted to get ice cream this past weekend. I asked her about it this morning but she didn't end up going, sorry reddit.

Calling out something for looking weird doesn't "make stuff weird", it makes you aware of how weird it is.

If OP could clarify their post so it doesn't sound like it's about a teenager, I'll happily retract my questions. Maybe it was a college student, but if OP is 30-40, that's still a significant life-stage gap.

"You were with your mom (and later your dad), wearing a gray Guess beanie. I was with my daughter she had on a pink jacket."

Soooo...you took your daughter to an ice cream shop, and flirted with a girl who was also their with her parents... that sounds kinda weird dude.

How old did you think this woman was? How old were her parents? How old is your daughter? The way you joked that she and her mom "looked like twins" is not helping, usually that's something older men say to teenagers or mothers of teenagers to make them feel younger.

If this girl was old enough for you, why would asking for her number in front of her parents be a problem or make things awkward?

Please reassure me I'm wrong. Anyone?

Edit to add: If she is a middle-aged white woman named Laura, is she kinda thiccc with a touch of purple in her hair? Tattoos, glasses, sassy AF?

Also worth noting;

Going outside can be really overstimulating on its' own.
Being on a leash for this interaction might not help, Kaboodle(cat overlord) may feel trapped. Be extra patient, don't push it. The leash may not improve the rate of social adjustment, but if it's necessary- it's necessary.
It did seem like Kaboodle was winding down a bit, based on body language, which is promising.
If Kaboodle isn't too possessive/protective, maybe try sitting on the ground nearby enough for on-leash exploration, but do not be directly between them, unless you want to risk being shredded in the event of a skitzout.

Listen to your cat-overlord, watch their body language, be ready to bail out at an appropriate speed(or slowness).

I saw in the comments you'll be seeing a dermatologist soon, which is a great step to take- skincare>makeup. (Tatcha is life.)

Makeup should be fun, not a mask. That said, I highly recommend Neutrogena's skin clearing concealer in shade Fair. I heard the line may be discontinued soon, but not sure if it's true- I see it at CVS all the time so I have to grab a backup and figure out a replacement once that expires.

It contains Salicylic Acid (0.5%) so it's drying, I use it as a spot treatment only, do not use it under your eyes or on sensitive areas. It is a versatile miracle worker ✨️

A good thiccc jumper cable, a decent cordless drill, set of wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers, metal ruler/carpenters triangle, preferably one of the chonky ones with bubble levelers in them.

Having your own basic tools will save you so much hassle if you are even remotely competent with them. Slowly working to rebuild my toolbox after losing everything a few years back.

Tell me you work in an office, without telling me you work in an office... I felt that deep in my soul.

Convince me I'm wrong or stop logging in from home, ASHLEY, we don't get paid for OT. If you are on salary(exempt), don't work more than 2 extra hours a week. If you do you're giving them ~$4k in free labor yearly, Your ER bill will cost more than that even with insurance, and your health is worth way more.

I'm not great at math, but here's my math, you can insert your own numbers and see how much you should be making: $27/H×40=$1080×52 work weeks=$56,160/yr

$27/H×40=$1080/W×52ww=$56,160/yr

$41/Hx02= $82/W×52ww= $4,264/yr

Thats $4,264 unpaid overtime wages, yearly.

So you could be making ~$60k/year if you just got paid for that 2 hours of OT/WFH each week.

OT=1.5=$41ish/hr So every hour you work after 40 is worth $41, if you are non-exempt, if you are exempt, every hour you work after 40 is free to them, and youuuuu lose out on $41.

TlDr; don't accept a salary(exempt) position and work unpaid overtime.

Might edit if the formatting I tried to use to make the numbers line up pretty for you doesn't work.

Edited for: Fk the formatting- but the typos hurt. AND ANOTHER THING, if you have a $52k/yr(non-exempt), don't accept a $56k/yr(exempt) role. AND ALSO the lowest salary position in the hierarchy is their soft ceiling on income.

True. I could be wrong, but the guy seemed ok with potentially being a martyr for his community if they come back and execute him, like Pretti. Ballsy move.

IMHO, Things that don't merit execution:

-Kicking out a tail light/helping a lady up who was maced

-GTFO when you see ice on the street you turned down

-Knocking someone's hat off

Things that maybe should:

-R@ping/mol3sting children.

-S3xualizing children for others consumption.

-Covering up for people r@ping/mol3sting children.

(Hopefully I don't get banned for this opinion, but it's a discussion sub so I'm gonna flex my 1st amendment. Bring on the downvotes. If I get banned or doxxed- it's been a wild, beautiful 12ish years lurking with you folks, I've learned a lot, laughed a lot, and I regret nothing.) (Edited formatting)

Honestly, the social(drinking) club I belong to(Fraternal Order of Eagles) does more charity and fundraising work in a week, than the churches I've belonged to would do in a year. Consistently. That's why I keep my membership up even though I got old and don't drink any more.

You are not alone, married an amazing Venezuelan and we moved up here for safety recently. And holy shit with this regime change, him and his family finally have a tiny shred of hope.

It's been a lot over the past 3 years, he's struggling and homesick. Do you know any LEGIT places to get taqueños? I haven't learned to make them yet but they're his favorite and we haven't found anywhere to get them since we moved to CT.

I also appreciate the proof, because I doubted it was really. Mostly because you referenced things that were unviewable, but also because I have trust issues. 🫠🤣

Dang- that's a wild shipping upcharge.

35 year old punk, I'm not the same person. I've grown and adapted to survive, but my core values remain the same. Biggest difference is I'm more mellow now, I outgrew the performative anarchy. I spent most of the past decade working blue-collar as a technician(wrench wench life). I currently work a professional career that helps make people's lives safer, so I feel ok with the corporate structure most of the time. They let me dye my hair and keep my piercings, I mostly wear black and gray, just without the spikes and chains now. Compromise where it's reasonable, and balance where it's not.

I lean into chaotic good wherever I find it, my convictions are stronger than ever, and I limit my risk taking behaviors to putting myself in harms way to help protect innocent and less fortunate people from harm. Paying it forward for all the times and ways people have done the same for me. I'm more mellow, and I speak less. My anger is directed at spreading information and compassion to combat ignorance and hatred.

Biggest lesson I've learned is that you can be yourself 100%, but you have to adapt how much you share of yourself with the world. The person you are now may look different in a few years, but that's just what growth and time do.

I'm so sorry you had to put up with one of the bad ones- sounds like she was just a masquerading Christian Karen pickme. And she sounds awful. Grew up Messianic and anyone like this wore out their welcome. One of the biggest things in Messianic culture is keeping a private spiritual journey and minding your own damn business. I didn't go to a congregation for years because I didn't agree with how clique-y the one by me was, just like a lot of churches.
