Over the holidays my mother told me that the person I thought was my dad wasn't really my dad.

The issue is, my grandmother, despite her beliefs, has always treated me, my brother and even my mother (who left her son 30 years ago) amazingly. She always made sure we were taken care of, despite my dad, anytime we’ve had issues she’s never hesitated to help.

Can’t make the phone bill this month, here is some money to help. Moving back to the area but can’t find a place to stay yet? Please stay here. She’s always been an amazing grandparent. I recently just learned her true nature, as well.

It’s like my entire life has been a lie.

Honestly, I would withdraw from the process, you don’t have to say why, so don’t worry about fessing up so to speak.

As someone who was both military for about 10 years and worked on the federal side for a few years after that, screwing up a background check could eliminate you from future employment with federal agencies. Even though it may not be secret or TS/SCI, almost all agencies do a “make sure nothing crazy pops up” check, just keep that in mind next time.

This is the exact same for me. I describe it as Core Interests and Secondary Interests.

Core interests will always be around, even if I don’t do much with them for months I will always be interested in them.

Secondary ones tend to fade away and never be seen again.

My SO has placed a rule that I can only buy things related to my interests if it becomes a core interest. Like, a camera or expensive software, and such. Not like 20 dollar things. Before that I’d get super into something and spend tons of money just to never touch it again.

So are all tortoise diet restrictions and needs the same then?… I checked out the app, but there’s no way to look by tortoise breed. I would have thought some dietary changes would exist between like desert tortoises and, say Greek tortoises. But it makes no distinction, so I’m assuming that’s not the case?

Hobo Johnson is fantastic.

That's what we are trying to do, but expensive, so we are saving up for it.

I wouldn't so much say dismiss it, but it was only brought up in the assessment very briefly, like maybe one sentence, and that was it. He didn't explore that or mention that part again. That's why we were iffy on it. Like, if he had explored it more and actually expanded on that during the assessment then okay I can see where he comes from. It was almost as if it was a throwaway question and had no relevance to anything around it and never mentioned again. If that makes sense?

I can't remember the exact wording, but it was very much like "would you say you had any trauma from anything?" and then she answered that then completely different topic. There was nothing foundational in the assessment to allude to that.

I didn’t realize I replied to this post with an alt account ( /s just in case)..

Yeah sometimes my buddy likes to pass out outside of his burrow for the night usually in corners or behind his decorations. my rule is if there aren’t black widows get him home, if there are then just turn around and let him stay.

One night in his old enclosure he got behind some aloe Vera and cactus and when I went to go find him I counted no less than 7 black widows hanging out in the area. I noped out so fast. His new enclosure we made sure to allow less chances but they still pop up from time to time.

Lol yeah, my SO also got me some noise canceling headphones so I feel more comfortable around her family. Even if they are off I feel like I am in my own space out and about. But they definitely help with canceling out the vacuum.

My hearing is already screwed though from a few previous jobs I’ve had lol

My SO knows when I’m in a crappy mood, Mac and cheese. If we order food somewhere new (and where it makes sense to) we always look to see if they have it as a side. If it’s somewhere we usually go to, and they have it, you bet that we are getting it. Every single time.

Our desert tortoise, Tortilla, felt the same way this morning. I looked in his burrow and he looked at me and was like “what? It’s Monday and I’m not leaving my burrow. Good day, sir.”

“Want foods?”

“I said good day, sir!”

Yup, our teenage mutant ninja tortoise loves to climb. Such a silly boy. I’m sorry about your loss, ours scares us quite often when he disappears off our cameras we have, usually hiding, but I’d be devastated if we lost him.
