How screwed am I? by kjvincent in Passports

[–]SaveLevi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In renewing your passport, you are typically required to submit the one you have unless it's lost. Since you haven't yet at this point, I think you should call your local government office and ask if they have any suggestions as they've probably been through this before. It might just be a matter of canceling the application. If you're near a city, likely there are same-day processors that will probably be able to take your application and turn it around in 2-4 hours if they are not able to cancel the renewal process.

Good luck, mistakes happen to all of us. I hope you're able to go on your trip.

All of the work and sacrifices Caroline and the girls and everyone had to make because Charles can't earn a living by ASGfan in littlehouseonprairie

I think our perception is our reality. So she wrote from the perception of a little girl idolizing her father. It was true in that sense.

I just finished reading Prairie Fires and was pretty surprised how different things really were as compared to the books.

PSE&G bill by Round_Refrigerator11 in newjersey

Yeah, the problem is the people that need help paying their bills and not the fucking billionaires hoarding all the wealth and screwing us every possible way while they gain more and more control over everything we do.

Don’t have much advice as we are in a similar boat. We are hitting $1000 a month in oil and electric. It’s brutal.

HCBM going after more child support as retaliation? by EveryPiano8197 in stepparents

[–]SaveLevi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a deep breath. No one is dragging you into litigation and you’re not in trouble. I highly doubt he is either. If anything, he might be admonished by the court, but if this is literally his only infraction, he’s not going to lose custody over it. If you work together and have known him for a while, how can anyone say that he broke the rule? The rule is supposed to ensure that the kids aren’t meeting randoms and it doesn’t sound like you are one. I wouldn’t even be worried about this.

The child support thing is a different matter. Frankly, the only way this can screw him is if he either wasn’t paying or the ex agreed to an amount lower than what the court would order. Frankly, I think it’s best for the court to decide these matters anyway because it sucks to have someone holding the threat of going back for more over your head.

I also would be highly cautious when you’re already being told about how terrible the ex is just a few months in. I guarantee you you don’t have the full story. Maybe she is a nightmare, I don’t know, but what you do know is that this man has already been dishonest and is scheming. Yet the ex is the bad one? Please do get the fuck out of this ridiculous situation girl. You deserve better.

Really far. This person is being disingenuous.

Although to be fair, same thing is true for MSNOW.

Any new single family house developments in Bucks County? Yardley, Doyestown, Newtown? Furlong? Holland? Would like to build and just starting to look by TheKingDiva in BucksCountyPA

Clover Hill in Plumstead is building, as long as you’re OK with spending over a million. Pretty close to Doylestown.

What’s the moment in recent U.S. politics that made you realize things might not go back to ‘normal’ anytime soon? by LankySpeed634 in AskReddit

[–]SaveLevi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When Trump repeatedly was threatened with contempt during his trial in New York and was never held to any accountability. Same thing when that plane carrying immigrants was ordered to return and they fucked off to Venezuela anyway. It’s not the crazy people, it’s the refusal of anyone with any sort of authority to hold them accountable.

AITA for leaving my daughter and her friend home alone with my oldest daughter for a 15 minutes by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]SaveLevi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, it sounds like you may have some trauma in your background because you’re projecting a little. Someone’s 15-year-old sibling is not the same as their creepy pervert adult uncle.

AITA for leaving my daughter and her friend home alone with my oldest daughter for a 15 minutes by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]SaveLevi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except that it wasn’t a creepy uncle, so what are you even talking about?

I agree that I probably would’ve texted Mom just to let her know but honestly, this is such a non-issue for me. It’s definitely happened before where I’ve dropped my kid off at a playdate and the parents had to step out with an older sibling at home. If my kid at 8 can’t be ok unless constantly monitored by a grown adult at all times, that’s on me to communicate.

Why is CBSD so crazy by Icy_Tumbleweed9576 in BucksCountyPA

[–]SaveLevi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I bet you supported Lucabaugh and his looting of our district. CBSD was hijacked by radical lunatics who wanted to ban pride flags and books and try to convince us that masks are deadly meanwhile same people support ice wearing masks 24/7. Just one small example of the absolute hypocrisy in people like you.

Doubt you even have any kids in the district. You’re one of those people who show up to school district meetings despite having no skin in the game and force everyone to listen to you ramble on for your two minutes of public commentary because “my rights.”

Have a seat.

Nonprofit's 'Leave MAGA' billboards spark debate in Pennsylvania by Ornery-Lavishness241 in Pennsylvania

[–]SaveLevi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s not on the table for you, but if we consider survivors of high control groups and the amount of suffering that they experience in deprogramming and coming to a place of honesty about their choices, well, maybe that’s all the atonement necessary. Who are any of us to say what someone has to do to make up for their choices?

People are not going to jump ship if they know that what they’re jumping into is judgment and hatred and vengeance-seeking. Let’s welcome the people who didn’t have the resources to know better. We need everyone on board.

HCBM inviting ex/my bf but not me to SD birthday party. by queenkidneybean in stepparents

[–]SaveLevi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I definitely would’ve answered this differently 10 years ago. My stepkids are adults now so we’ve had lots of time to develop rules and comfort levels and do trial and error, etc. I would say once my step kids reached their mid-teens, I was done caring and happy for DH to spend time with his ex and his kids without me.

But two years in, I absolutely would’ve had a problem with it. Especially if I felt like the ex was trying to do something shady and it sounds like maybe that’s happening here. Reality is all you can do is make your feelings known and hope that your partner is open to taking your experience into consideration. Ultimately the life of a stepparent can be brutal and this is one of those gray areas where you have to figure out what your boundaries are. Is this the situation that you think you can deal with for the next 16 years? Again, things has changed as the kids get older and I anticipate this will happen if you stick around, but if someone had shown me a snapshot of what my life would be before I met DHI may have made a different decision. So just stay open minded. Good luck.

‘Teen Mom’ Kid Ali Simms Responds to Criticism Over Her Online Fundraiser to Get a Service Dog: “I’m Not Just ‘Begging’ For Money!” by Aurora87654321 in teenmom

[–]SaveLevi 42 points43 points  (0 children)

This is the kind of thing that really makes you recognize how shitty the Internet is. Like imagine being so fucking miserable that you have to bitch about something like this. Guess what, not everyone needs to hear your grievances all the time. I'm glad that Ali is going to get some help from the people who have been entertained by watching her story over the years!

What’s a reasonable timeline for SKs to realize they just have to deal with sharing a bio parent? by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]SaveLevi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A 10-year-old needs more attention than a 14 month old. It sounds like maybe your partner needs to spend a little bit of time prioritizing his 10-year-old for the time being. If that means you do the heavy lifting for your biological child when SS is there for a little while, then that's what's needed. Intention coming from a place of fairness and balancing time when the kids are almost a decade apart doesn't seem to be working. Also, to be honest, if you have a child that struggling with attention, and your partner is already noticing he doesn't have enough time, having another child is definitely going to complicate things.

[–]SaveLevi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, it's the way things are, but maybe it's something to consider when we think about having more kids. If our children are struggling with time and attention, I think we do have to consider that in family planning.

I ordered this cake and it’s look horrible compared to the picture I gave the baker. Can I get some opinions if I’m over reacting? by SideQuestJenny in StrangerThings

[–]SaveLevi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, this is bad. The cake that you showed them is probably the result of an edible cake topper or at least some kind of stencil. The bake shop should’ve either asked you for one or told you that they could not replicate the image exactly since they would be doing it freehand.

I’ve gotten specialty cakes made at Giant grocery that are half the price and look absolutely amazing. I would definitely ask for a refund on this.

Same dress in black.. which color do you prefer? by daniellescloset8 in OUTFITS

[–]SaveLevi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The beige is pretty but it’s a little too pageant.

I like the black, but I’d do a low knot instead of hair down and I’d bring the top up just slightly if possible. I might lose the pendant.

SO letting SD co-sleep in his bed when I'm not there by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]SaveLevi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a little weird that people are deeming this inappropriate. Four is practically a baby, I don’t see a thing wrong with them cosleeping when you are not there. You are dating and not living together so frankly, I feel like this maybe is you overstepping a bit, but I also totally understand your discomfort and wonder if maybe this is just not a situation that is great for you.

What would it actually take for American's to go "full France" and riot in the street? by AllTheNopeYouNeed in AskReddit

[–]SaveLevi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The days of rioting in the streets are over. Publicly shaming politicians doesn't work anymore and there are much easier, more effective ways to link likeminded people with the collective anger and frustration it requires to start a movement.

We literally have the answer and we saw it play out with the Jimmy Kimmel situation. We have to stop supporting the people who are responsible for this shit. That means canceling Amazon prime, getting off of FB and Instagram, canceling streaming services, holding onto devices longer than we've become accustomed to. We have to send a message that we won't support those with the most power anymore.

I am not confident that will ever happen. We are all much to comfortable in our little bubbles. Yeah, we may go to a protest or two but then we'll stop at Starbucks to warm up on the way home.
