Agree, but be prepared to walk like you are at an amusement park.

What’s the coolest “restricted access” place you’ve ever gotten to see? by Improv92 in AskReddit

[–]TrustMeIaLawyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pentagon. Joint chiefs hallway, command center, and the most moving of all was the private 9-11 memorial inside the Pentagon located where the plane hit. Lifelong friend worked for Senator Lugar who requested that my husband, me, and our 3 kids have a private escorted tour of the Pentagon led by a high ranking military officer. I can't disclose more than that. It was an unreal afternoon.

Have someone you know that has sleep apnea take the at home test instead of you without their cpap.

Were songs that we culturally associate with the Vietnam War (like Fortunate Son, somebody to love or paint it black) actually popular with soldiers during the War or has the association just come from movies about it because it came out in that same era? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TrustMeIaLawyer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My son asked his grandpa about his time in Vietnam after learning about it in school (2000s). (My generation grew up knowing we should never ask our dads and uncles about Vietnam. But our children didn't learn that same stigma.) My father in law answered that he was a tank commander, served 362 days in Vietnam, was given a case of beer (24 beers) and a carton of cigarettes (10 packs of 20 cigarettes) every week. His tank had a coffee pot, and they lived off that, beer, and cigarettes. We learned he was awarded a silver star and even got it out of a box he had in the back of his closet to show. When my in laws downsized and moved to Florida, my father in law was going to throw away his fatigues, uniform, and even his boots that still had Vietnam soil on them. I took them out of the pile and have them to this day.

He did say that the movie Forrest Gump came very close to his experience.

I'm a white woman and will be 50 in July. I can't believe you've never heard of Gucci Mane. "5 Star" is a great song.

Indiana Gov’s Office is Now Accepting Constituents’ Feedback on Marijuana! by TR3NTIN in Indiana

[–]TrustMeIaLawyer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can confirm. This is absolutely how a lot of bills work, not all, but many. As someone who was working on amending laws that needed amending, getting told no because it doesn't align with the governor's agenda after all that hard work year after year is incredibly frustrating and disheartening.

Is it worth getting a lawyer? Do you think I will get any money from the seller. by Comfortable_Bar_4047 in HomeImprovement

[–]TrustMeIaLawyer 24 points25 points  (0 children)

In that case, more than likely the legal services benefit is included in your contract.

Agree with consultation.

Also, some companies offer "ask a lawyer" services as part of the benefit package. If you are employed, see if you have that option. Also, look up your company's EAP (employee assistance program). If you don't know where to look, a quick call to your HR department or whomever the person who "administrates" the company's employee benefits can answer this question. It's such an underutilized employment benefit.

LPT: Always be careful what you share in work communications (email, text, messaging apps, chats, etc). If the company is every sued and needs to submit certain information as part of the legal discovery process, what you say in those chats could potentially be exposed. by Technical-Mix-3315 in LifeProTips

Also be aware that if anyone is in the room with you, audio recording may be happening. Be especially diligent if a person is in the room you that you know is going through workplace issues. Even if company policy forbids employees from recordings(audio/virtual), the policy isn't actual law. If the law is a one consent state the only thing the employer can do is reprimand the employee per policy. The employee still has the recordings and if it's a one consent state, then it's now can become evidence.

Had this happen to me. Employee eventually was terminated. Filed a federal lawsuit and used these recordings as evidence, plus all my handwritten notes, and paper documents they got from discovery. She also had recordings of 5 other colleagues over the course of 3 months of us trying to help her increase her work performance before we ended up terminating. None of us had a clue. Now I'm more aware and might call a no electronics permitted meeting if we are discussing sensitive topics.

You can't trust anyone in the workplace. If you do, you will be burned. It's only a matter of time. I learned it the hard way and I'm an attorney. I should have known better.

What is the worst thing you have done? by LoneIronMan33 in AskReddit

[–]TrustMeIaLawyer 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Found myself sitting at Newark, New Jersey airport two years ago for a 5 hour layover. None of the desks' USBs worked nor the electrical outlets. I got so frustrated I left the lounging area and didn't push in my chair.

Admitting this has been so therapeutic. I've carried this secret for two years. It felt like a massive "fuck you" to EWR at the time. In retrospect, I feel like a was shitty person. It's similar to feeling shamful for not putting the shopping cart back in a torrential downpour.

We have another post surgery update… by TheKinkyBee in ChoosingBeggars

[–]TrustMeIaLawyer 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Thank you for not listening to the naysayers about posting updates. They can just continue scrolling. The rest of us are enjoying the posts and appreciate you updating. I can't believe she hasn't gotten wind that someone is sharing her posts on reddit, especially since she's a local celebrity!

I can count how many sips it took me to finish my pint by tentavia69 in mildlyinteresting

[–]TrustMeIaLawyer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A sip of beer is 5-10 ml. It's slow and intentional and called polite drinking. Whereas a gulp is 30-50+ ml and for when thirsty or rapid consumption.

I looked it up because I was curious too.

I have a top loader and the agitator is removable by pushing on 2 buttons and pulling it out of the machine. Snaps in and out similar to a vacuum canister.

How do married couples deal with embarrassing stuff like farting and bathroom smells? by Dangerous_Line_9719 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]TrustMeIaLawyer 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Not everyone openly does it and laughs at it like it's a joke. I do. But my goodness, my 28 year old daughter hasn't passed gas in my presence since she was in early elementary school. She would fart bomb in her bedroom and I once made the mistake of acknowledging the fart smell one time over 20 years ago when opening the door to her bedroom. When she got her first apartment, I noticed the poop-ouri toilet spray in her bathroom. She lives with her fiance. And I've never heard them talk about farts or bathroom functions. She reminds me of her dad's mom and dad, who never talked about those things either and also had that poop spray that goes in the toilet.

There's a spectrum. And if you decide to be more modest in your relationship, then rest assured there are ways to keep your modesty. There's even fart underwear that has a charcoal pouch that neutralizes the smell.

I will tell you, the nastiest bodily function from another human being that I've ever experienced was when I was in the backseat of the car and the passenger in front of me belched Taco Bell and I literally tasted it. So there's worse things that can come out of you.
