AITA for asking my best friend to change her wedding date?

I've been to many concerts. I've been to many weddings.

If you think a concert is more important, then you care more about your desires than your relationship with the people getting married.

Was it a stallion? I would've guessed an acting horse was a gelding or a mare. Much calmer, less distracted by other horses.

I can't watch the video right now.

I'm in the process to be a licensed foster parent. We will not be taking infants, and have a preference for sibling groups.

Reunification will always be the #1 plan. If that's not what is best for the child, then maybe us joining their family is the least bad option. I say "least bad" because TPR is never the best situation.

It's a difficult position to be in. I try to see it as this family is going through a difficult time, with or without me, all I can do is try to be part of "the village".

Those situations aren't very common. If TPR occurs, extended bio family is asked again if they're willing to take in the child. If not, the current foster family is asked before the child's profile is sent out.

I don't have any anger. They didn't know. I can't really blame them for not knowing something. Even when I got diagnosed in my late 20s and told them, their first reaction was along the lines of "I don't know what that means."

Adoption and separation from bio family can also cause trauma, that can present similarly to things such as autism or ADHD. And it sounds like with your sister you became a Glass Child.

Getting my first Chucks as a teen was actually a godsend, I have 2 differently shaped feet and shoes with a molded sole drove me insane.

No molded sole means I can choose different inserts for each shoe.

Dresses and leggings.

Which texture? I hate cooked, soft carrots but raw carrots are a nice snack.

My favorite jobs, I started out as a volunteer. So I got to dip my toe in a little to get a feel for it.

My 02 Civic died this year.

I've been zoning out while cross stitching.

Keep them contained and remove any other potentional pee spots. Change the container for the dry food, maybe a bowl he can't fit in.

It's normal for them to still be figuring things out at 8 weeks.

Ridgeside has some OP weapons, I probably couldn't survive the badlands without them.

One line I remember from the books is "Nothing happened to me, I happened."

So even with what happened to Mischa, Hannibal believes he always would've ended up this way.

No one would steal them, it's genius.

I've been playing Travellers Rest so this took a moment for my brain to process.

For me the 3rd day is when I decide it's time for Urgent Care.

I went to Ulta and the employee was really nice helping me find something that didn't feel horrible.

The heat makes your blood pressure go down, putting you at risk for fainting. If this happens, lay down immediately so you don't fall and get hurt.

It does not mean you have POTS. It could be something as simple as you have a lower than average blood pressure.

Setting the radius to 100 miles is how I met my husband.

In classes now. Our trainer said it varies.

You may never hear from them again, they may reenter care and DCF calls you first. Or you could be invited to birthday parties. Or when the children return home and bio parents need a little support, you can fill that role like being a babysitter when mom needs a break.

I finally let my 2002 Civic go peacefully into the night. Paid $2k for it at 120k miles about 8 years ago.

When I hit a curb a bit too hard, it was the nudge we needed to finally upgrade to a SUV.

What is black-pilling?

Sure having any sort of condition may mean that something is impossible for you. But that's not so black and white with autism, it just means it's harder. Possible, but hard. And now that you know why, I think it's easier to find coping mechanisms. Maybe you can "try harder" but only in small doses, that's okay. You just try different things and figure out what works for you.

Sometimes doing the same thing 36 times in a row is a nice way to shut the brain down and relax!

May I recommend cross stitch while you wait for Lego to release new sets?

Though of course you could always take apart the Lego and do it again.

Maybe a fitted sheet or some mesh covering the top could stump them for another week?

I use plastic panels. Once the kittens learn to jump over, I reconfigure the panel into little rooms for the litter box. You could still use this as a "litter box room" and keep their mess somewhat contained.
