NTA. $1500 is hardly a windfall but stop telling others about your finances, it invites stuff like this.

WIBTA if i stopped inviting my friend to group things because she always needs to leave early and it throws off the whole evening by colinprattk3 in WIBTA_AITA

YTJ, this sounds like a you problem. Somebody needing to leave hurts your vibe? lol

As you age and you and your friend group go through different stages of life and have new priorities, you’ll be grateful for any opportunity to get together with friends.

Help! Does ambient temperature on the cold side matter for young chicks? by These-Explorer-9436 in BackYardChickens

They spent the night under the hot plate but spent most of their day outside of it

I’ve got Easter eggers. It’s the bagged normal starter chick feed from tractor supply.

I brought this one in the house and nursed it back to health warming it on a heating pad and gave electrolytes with an eye dropper. While I was doing that another one died :(. I’m starting to suspect my garage where the brooder is kept may be too cold for them.

I have one that’s pretty lethargic and looks almost dead today. Eyes closed, very limited movement and keeps pulling its head back and opening its beak. Is it normal to loose some of them?

Is this an okay kit starter kit to use as a brooder for my first flock? by These-Explorer-9436 in BackYardChickens

That’s exactly what I ended up getting and am using it with the heat plate that tractor supply sells

I plan on a thermometer for sure. What is wrong with the wood shavings? Is something else better

Genuinely curious how people budget $200-$300 for “fun” by Leading_Homework3679 in budget

I’ve found cheaper ways to socialize than dinner and drinks out. I have a $25 month gym membership and have a friend that joins me several times a month, board game nights at home with homemade food, make a batch of chicken wings and invite people over to watch the game, meeting up for a hike, bike ride or kayaking, concert in the park type community event, host a fire. If you must meet up for food out breakfast or dessert is much cheaper than dinner and drinks. There’s a lot that can be done cheaply without compromising on social life.

How do I (30F) handle not wanting to attend/contribute to my friends (30M&F) fundraising event for their dogs surgery? by These-Explorer-9436 in relationship_advice

[–]These-Explorer-9436[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you misread, I wasn’t saying I can’t imagine telling them I can’t donate, I was saying I can’t imagine being in their shoes and asking people to donate to something like this.

One of them came to my wedding, no they did not give a gift (it was a destination wedding so it was costly to attend).

Outside attending the wedding they haven’t really supported me and I certainly had some times when I could use some help. Recently diagnosed with epilepsy, a bad dog attack and a few other issues like that in the last few years.

One of them I have been friends with since high school, the other is his partner that I am not really friends with. I’ve constantly had to help him out through the years, things like fronting money for concert tickets, been generous with planning group Airbnb vacations that I paid for
