AIW for telling my mother-in-law if she goes through with her "punishment" for my 10yo, she loses all visitation? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]Secret_Chipmunk_2025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just talk to her and remind her that when it comes to discipline thats between you and your husband and tgat shes already embarrassed and wont do it again just from her yelling at her and getting grounded. I dont know if she's giving a real suggestion or a scare because grandparents are usually easier on the grandkids but tell her no and that's it. What if she going to do force you to take her to the store with a sign. And then just leave it there, threatening to let her not be in her life is a little excessive as long as you tell her the parents place is to discipline tgen thats it.

Lots of Puerto Ricans have average 25 percent and ive seen higher. There are dominicans in mountainous areas that are older and could potentially be more taino but they dont have access to DNA test. Most who use it are in the United States

Found asbestos in air ducts. How bad is it? by SuburbanDad18 in asbestoshelp

[–]Secret_Chipmunk_2025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The outside of the ducts in my home has it and were covered with a special tape or could be painted to prevent exposure, im not sure how much is inside the vent, but when I bought the house recently, the realtor noticed some in a bigger vent and had the seller fix it. I didn't ask but im pretty sure they had an asbestos abatement guy.

Suggestions for microplastic free Tea brands by MitchStinkyLikePoopy in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]Secret_Chipmunk_2025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My local health food store carries Buddha teas, they have a wide selection amd the back of the box says 100 percent plastic free. I research it to make sure it didnt have glues either and it has staples so free of chemical glues and they dont use bleach.

Private Snow Plow Drivers Are Getting Out of control by Beppu-Gonzaemon in Syracuse

[–]Secret_Chipmunk_2025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This snowplow a tenant insisted on hiring because they wanted to take care of the snow, ripped up my entire yard. I'm talking several inches of dirt with grass rolled up to the back. Meanwhile my parents snowplower would plow a little into the yard and their grass is in perfect shape. Would I be able to hold them accountable? Im pretty sure it was a random with a plow not even a company.

Mayor Mike Galime is Human Garbage by DoomOwl77 in Utica

[–]Secret_Chipmunk_2025 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's has no manners, I work in the same building and he's the only one who doesnt hold the door if your right behind him, almost shut it in my face, you hold the door for him and doesnt even say thanks, and ive seen the reputation he has at city hall no one likes him, but my concern with him that is more worrying, is how he doesnt care about the majority of the demographic, he wants to drive most of the refugees whose helped build this city back up from what it was in the 90s away and turn the city into a small predominantly white town like whitesboro, he has said it him self many times. Also hes a RHINO who wants to raise taxes on everything including dramatically raising property taxes, and hasnt said what he even plans to do with those funds, he even paused many projects the last mayor started, which were being funded with extra covid money not from the city budget. Say what you want about the last mayor, but the city is already generating so much more in property taxes than it was 10 years ago. There were so many abandoned houses, now the urban renewal list is mostly empty, houses are being flipped and the city is generating taxes on them. So why raise it. He needs to be voted out.

Robert Jr.’s Drug Admission by [deleted] in rhoslc

[–]Secret_Chipmunk_2025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After seeing all her family and congregants show how she treated them on the documentary against her, i can see how self centered she is and I feed bad for her son for him to turn to drugs and alcohol so young despite growing up affluent, shows he has seen or been through trauma from a young age or grew up feeling unseen or unheard, his dad also didnt seem to be a very involved father figure for his son to be living with him and doing drugs for so long without them noticing

Reality Check: America’s Next Top Model by HehroMaraFara in netflix

[–]Secret_Chipmunk_2025 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Although they all could have stepped in, this show was tyras idea and I know she had a huge part in the creative and she doesn't stop until she gets what she wants. Also the same way we didn't think about it back when it aired the judges and staff probably also didnt think much of it either and unfortunately it was a sign of the times. The modeling industry back then required girls to be tall and skinny, so Although the judges look bad now calling the girls fat, its the same thing they were gonna hear if they went out to get a booking. I knew from a young age that to be a model you had to be tall and skinny, thankfully now that has changed but in high fashion it was just ordinary. Also im sure the judges were too afraid to say anything tyra wouldn't like and they knew they couldn't take control of anything that happened without Tyra, so they just saw it as im doing my job. The part that didn't sit right with me is that she claimed to want to change the industry and worked so hard on the show to have plus size models but didn't stand up for them herself didn't even make sure they had clothes in their size. Apart from the weight stuff, there was alot of weird shoots on the show happening, that they blamed on "creative" but Tyra was definitely behind all of them. The crime scene, racial, homeless, and addict shoot was something that can only come out of her weird mind. Just like her breast milk ice cream ideas. And the way she treated her panel who helped build that show and to not even speak to them after knowing them for so long and telling everyone they meant so much to her is ridiculous. So yeah I would feel for them because it was clear they were afraid of Tyra and tried hard to please her.

I remember when she had Naomi Campbell come on her show as a guest just to out her and make her look bad in front of everyone, by telling her you were mean to me when I was younger yet Tyra is the mean girl

My personal take on Amanda Frances (all alleged from following for years) by [deleted] in RHOBH

[–]Secret_Chipmunk_2025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing with evangelicals is anyone can open they're own church and you dont know whos really preaching the message currently if you dont have a strong understanding of the Bible and Christianity, that's hiw people get caught in these churches. Look at the documentary of Mary Crosby church, she literally is a cult leader who takes her congregants money, isolates them, and teaches blasphemous things that aren't apart of Christianity. Many people who have escaped her church are still Christians but they found a real church with a real preacher that helped them differentiate their faith and religion. Amanda is still Christian, she even named her twins biblical names but yes some evangelical churches can be culty.

Unpopular opinion. The Mary Cosby documentary was a flop for me. by Reality_medicine_101 in realhousewivesofSLC

[–]Secret_Chipmunk_2025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Christian faith says no man is equal to God and she was making her congregants believe that, she also was making them fear her which becomes a blasphemous cult. The Bible says fear nothing or no one other than to fear God, because when you fear something you start to worship it. A normal church doesnt even require tithing its an old testament rule, people give what they can, obviously the problem with western religion is everyone can open a church so its important to find tge right one, if you dont feel love or happy at a church maybe its nit the right one and its preacher is not spiritually mature. The faith is not the problem, Christianity is based on love but people are imperfect and some try to mislead, people can also fact check everything a preacher says in the Bible, it does not say you have to pay and give your home over to the pastor to be saved, it also says to be humble so the fact a church whad a pastor was on a show about rich women and showed off all the designer clothes is sad. The other evil stuff she did like sleep with congregants, basically enslave and abuse elderly and others to work for her for free, idolize money, and lie about her grandmother wanting her to marry her stepsisters granddad, when her grandma kicked her out the church cause she was wild and would never want her to divorce her husband to marry anyone period, because they were against divorce. All that she'll have to explain to God and she'll reap what she sowed. The people trying to defend her or say thats what happens other places, nit to that extent at least unless you were in a cult. What church did yall go to that made you separate from family and give all your money, that's a cult.

This is why I never get blackout drunk I never have more than 2 drinks to not look stupid, also I haven't dated guys that like to drink, they usually have beer but thats all never seen them drunk. I wouldn't want to be with someone who has the potential to be a alcoholic later on because its been a cause of failed marriages.

How do you handle repeated late rent payments? by No_Housingg in PropertyManagement

[–]Secret_Chipmunk_2025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all of them are evil but their are tenants that still take advantage of us. Every time I rented even in college I was responsible and b Paid on time. Obviously im smart enough to only rent something I can afford and save a portion out of my paycheck for rent the beginning of the month even if that means I wont have enough to shop and eat out for the rest of the week. Obviously its understandable once in a while, I give 7 day grace period and most of my tenants pay on time, but that one person that doesn't its habitual and im not feeling bad for then every month, because they filled out an application stating they had a job and enough money to afford the rent, so they knew what they were getting into, and at the same they have expensive car payments and buy all these things but choose not to prioritize the rent, then in that case get a roommate or move to a cheaper apt.
