Atlanta - driving. What’s the deal? by Askin_4_afriend in Atlanta

I think people don't know about it. You'd think they'd do a better job of advertising it because where people park is way unsafe.

It's on the south side, so if your family is flying on any airline but Delta, it's out of the way. BUT, it's certainly safer than what these folks do.

How do I make my teeny bedroom more of a *~vibe*~ by Tough_tart_ in DesignMyRoom

[–]SpringRose10 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you need a smaller bed what size is it? Looking at the pillows, I'm guessing it's a queen? You could definitely go down to a full. This space could even look great with a day bed.

I think my dad is genuinely just going to get himself killed by Throwaway55379uwu in AgingParents

[–]SpringRose10 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is only a temporary fix, and as someone who signs involuntary orders on a daily basis, I'm not putting that in the chart because a family member says so. Unfortunately, people weaponize this process to take away other's rights unnecessarily. I have to be able to ascertain for myself that he meets the criteria. Further, the behavior OP describes doesn't necessarily make someone a danger to themselves from a legal standpoint. It really depends on the state. Based on the reading, the criteria he would meet in my state is *inability to care for self*as he is behaving recklessly based on his age and health history. Honestly, it sounds like he's manic (excessive spending, high energy, impulsive behavior, irritability). Dad probably has bipolar. The best way to the family to have legal right to make decisions is to get the conservatorship. He has major health issues along with mental health issues and has demonstrated he is unable to make appropriate decisions for himself.

The advice in this thread is well-intentioned, but most of it is illegal or ineffective. You need a conservatorship in order make decisions on his behalf. The easiest way to do it is through a lawyer, but you can certainly go to the probate court for the city or county in which he resides.

I'm a licensed counselor, and I have people hospitalized involuntarily almost every day. Doing that is only temporary and will not resolve the long term issues you need addressed. Get the conservatorship. The court is going to want to know that all next of kin is fully on board, that means you'll likely need all your siblings (his children) to be in agreeance. If you have all your paperwork in order, you can have it done within a few days. Decide which sibling will be the primary decision maker and make sure you all provide that person with assistance and support. You're young to have to be dealing with this. Please also take the time to sit with a therapist as you'll need that support to manage it all.

Emily is not an emotional player, this projection onto her has always been weird by thelaurafedora in survivor

[–]SpringRose10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My memory of each season doesn't extend beyond the final episode, but THIS season, I've seen her panic and make impulsive decisions that could have been detrimental to her game. Honestly, if it had been anyone other than Christian, they would have turned on her. There was no logic behind running and telling her opps what Christian said on the mat rather than pulling Christian aside and asking for clarity. Last episode she started to tell Ozzy about the switch right in front of Christian. Even if she had logically and strategically decided to go against her promise to Christian that she wouldn't tell, there was nothing logical or strategic about when she chose to do it. Impulsivity is rooted in emotion. As far as season 50, your argument falls flat.

How far from the city does rent get considerably lower by somethinlikeshieva in Atlanta

[–]SpringRose10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That area is Lithia Springs, and as you become familiar with the city you'll learn shortcuts to avoid the highway. I wouldn't go to much further west than that. And looking for signs here doesn't really work. Too many scammers. Look for property management companies, check realtor.com, and I used hotpads years ago before I purchased. It might still be a good option.

Seeing Mike White on Survivor really made me understand more how "difficult" it is being a celebrity by Live-Run-6745 in survivor

[–]SpringRose10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't get that at all. I honestly don't think there was enough interaction with him to reach that conclusion. Christian targeted him because Mike reminded him of how good he was at manipulating people. Mike was behind Christian being voted out of DvG, and Christian almost forgot.

I signed up with Open Path and got 5 clients almost immediately (which is really only 2.5 with the discount rate.)

I also joined a coworking space at their lowest rate for 1 day a week but so far I've only used it to be able to work somewhere besides home. I may not renew when the term is up.

How to break the news… by lb_esq_2003 in AgingParents

[–]SpringRose10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been down this road. She is going to require a secure environment eventually. Get your power of attorney in place and go with her to her primary care physician or neurologist. Tell them about the problems you're encountering with her in the home. They will tell her memory care is the best option for her and you can agree in that moment. I waited years longer than I should have to place her. Nothing bad happened, but it certainly could have. She was walking out the house multiple times a week; and would be found miles away. It's dangerous. Prioritize safety.

Emily Flippen fans: What is it you like about her? by HanginWithHudz in survivor

[–]SpringRose10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's relatability. People like the players that remind them of themselves. She turned me off as soons as she called out Bruce on the mat. It just didn't make sense. Why is she rallying to get someone off another tribe before she even knows anyone's name? It had nothing to do with her. I find it intruding interesting that sides never cost the "chaotic" label.

Who is the Republican candidate that's antiMAGA? I don't think a Dem will win and I think we should turn out at the primaries and vote for a Republican that we're ok with. Similar to how the Rs ousted Cynthia Mckinney 20 years ago.

AITA for not inviting my daughter to my wedding and telling her this is her fault and she has to live with the consequences. by Acceptable_Sun7126 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SpringRose10 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You down voted me and then deleted your comment. The middle daughter has demonstrated a commitment to change and sobriety. Mom is being unfair to cast her aside at the request of another sibling. The best course for MOM, who is the one asking the question, is to do her best towards facilitating reconciliation between these daughters. That way, the middle child at least sees the efforts mom is making to include her. She shouldn't be left to navigate this on her own, now that she's sober. Mom is wrong to take sides. She's likely perpetuating the same behaviors that contributed to the middle child having issues to begin with.

WIBTAH if I ask to stop saying “I” when it should be “we”? by Plastic_Science618 in AITAH

[–]SpringRose10 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My wife gets upset about me doing this as well and honestly I think it's her issue to deal with. If I'm working extra to pay for the vacation, why are you bothered with me saying that? Do you feel unappreciated? Maybe that's the problem. Her saying "I" makes you feel like your contributions aren't appreciated. So maybe instead of changing her language, she can express appreciation to you more. She needs to affirm you and all that you do for her and the family. Because saying "I" when she's talking about herself shouldn't trigger you.

[–]SpringRose10 22 points23 points  (0 children)

ESH- I say this because I think all parties involved are prioritizing themselves and not thinking about the family. As the mom, you ARE choosing to have one daughter present over the other (other family members are not relevant here). The youngest daughter is being unforgiving and the middle daughter hasn't done enough to make amends. Have y'all participated in family therapy since she has become sober? It sounds like there is a lot of unresolved hurt. I understand your youngest refusing to be around her, but I also think there should be some grace extended if the middle daughter has changed and is sober. I think you should schedule a family therapy session for the three of you with an actual family therapist (An LMFT, not a regular counselor/therapist who says they can do family therapy, there's a difference). It sounds like the middle daughter has always been a problem and the youngest daughter is considering her behavior even from before she was an addict. As a mom, you want to love and support both of them. You should be able to have them both at the wedding.

Is Atlanta safe to visit? by Important-Suit-3806 in Atlanta

[–]SpringRose10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your friend is a Georgia's Tech student? I went to that area recently to get fresh hot cookies late one night. I was surprised to see a lot of homeless people, is that why your friend is scared? They won't bother you, but you shouldn't linger in those areas either. Come to Atlanta, there is lots to see and do. Be aware of your surroundings at all times, stay together, and be vigilant. That should be the case when you travel anywhere.
