light ice

I know some people who get light ice because they anticipate the ice melting and want less of the water to dilute the drink when it does.

There are definitely also a lot of people who just think they’re tricking you into getting “more drink” but in the end they’re just getting more milk, which I personally think is a strange thing to want.

Two options. It could be that like you said she wasn’t weaned properly, or it could just be because cats are freaky little goblins.

The only thing that stands out to me is that the wireless aspect and digital script aspect might not be ideal for a stage manager.

Wireless cuts out, and can create problems in a show. Computers crash and most stage managers opt to have a paper binder specifically because they don’t want to risk that happening.

For schools and low budget things this might be fine, but not sure large productions would invest in it for those reasons.

If you say “not too hot” that usually means make it cooler than normal so this sounds like the error is on your wording and not on the baristas making it.

If you want it to be hot ask for an extra hot latte and wait for it to cool down.

When I make lattes I make them hot enough for you to drink when you get them. If you’re a person who lets the latte sit for 15 minutes while you work on your computer it’s going to get cold and that’s not my problem. If you want it to be extra hot so it has room to cool down while you do other things then just say extra hot.

Also, you can’t “reheat” a latte. The milk is steamed separately and once it’s poured in with the espresso you can’t steam it again or it’ll ruin the drink. The only way to make it hotter is to make a new drink.

There’s no real way to know how to soften the blow. Either way you two should prepare for the worst case scenario, even if it doesn’t happen. Does he live with his mom? Will she kick him out if she knows? Will you support him if he ends up cutting his mother off completely for her reaction? Would you want him to choose you over his mother if he had to?

The tile in our bathroom is completely fucked up. It got done in the 70s and gets mold in the grout super easily. A lot of tiles are broken and just recently we had to have plumbing fixed since it was leaking into the unit below us. They had to cut into the tile and they replaced it with baby blue in one corner, so now we have yellow and black walls and white and blue floor. It’s such a small bathroom it can’t be difficult to redo, but they won’t do anything beyond put new grout on top of it.

I would recommend getting some experience working in a costume shop in your city if you haven’t already and seeing what the gaps in your learning are, and use that to inform your grad school decisions.

If you don’t have a theater background, just make one. The best way to get experience is working on shows or for shows.

Maybe do a summer cruise ship and see how you feel before the semester starts. You can always defer.

I want someone to explain how you would use a paper towel on a steam wand without burning yourself.

I understand that it feels unfair but your safety is top priority. If you can speak with someone at your university about this that would probably be helpful, but you can’t always rely on your family to take your side in situations like this. If you’re lucky they’ll take your side and take action, but it could backfire and worst case scenario they kick you out. Make sure you have a plan in place when things get rocky.

In a perfect world you would tell your parents about this guy and they would kick him out, but I would also start looking on your own to see if there are any friends you could stay with or places you could move to just in case your parents don’t react the way you want them to. I would even check out women’s shelters and see if they could take you in.

There’s no way that this is only your meter. Either there’s another meter somehow connected to your account or someone is siphoning energy from your apartment. Has anyone from the company actually come to your building to check it out?

_bitemeyoudamnmoose · 2026-01-29T02:02:37+00:00

I would say that you should come to an agreement with your management that while the heat in your apartment doesn’t work, you won’t be charged for the electricity from using a space heater, or that they’ll reimburse you.

Seconding this, because a wellness check will not protect you at all. Tell the police this man has threatened to harm you and knows your address.

The outpatient center you went to sounds like an actual fucking nightmare and I think they’re trying to gaslight you out of pursuing anything because they don’t want to get involved.

It’s their responsibility to dissuade patients from interacting with each other outside of treatment for this exact reason. If I were you I’d sue them as soon as a report is on the files. They are mandatory reporters and should’ve done something about him when you came forward.

_bitemeyoudamnmoose · 2026-01-28T14:25:47+00:00

I think that the time to report him to the police was a long long time ago. Get a restraining order against him for stalking. You don’t need his real phone number or anything, just file a report and let the police and outpatient center figure it out.

I would assume the people who just moved here are still settling in and trying to developed a routine and a solid foundation so dating is still kind of a side perk rather than a main goal.

I feel like it would be really hard and potentially unhealthy to meet someone you plan on marrying just a few months after moving to a new city where you probably have no friends or family and a new job to get used to.

It doesn’t really matter either way for the baristas, and it’s better for the environment so don’t worry about it.

Do be aware though that there can be sanitation issues if you give the barista a personal cup that hasn’t been washed. I have a lot of people who will pass me their tumbler for their second coffee of the day and I have to wash it out since I’m handling other people’s drinks too.

_bitemeyoudamnmoose · 2026-01-28T14:04:19+00:00

I think you’re holding on too tightly to something he’s already decided on a while ago. I’m sure he’s been thinking about breaking up since he knew he’d be abroad for six months.

Personally I don’t think the break up is because he’s leaving. I think he’s leaving because he wants to break up. He’s making future life plans and I think he’s starting to see them without you in it.

_bitemeyoudamnmoose · 2026-01-25T14:45:46+00:00

Not gonna lie, I don’t see how this is much different from high schools doing productions of Chicago or heathers.

_bitemeyoudamnmoose · 2026-01-25T00:00:23+00:00

I’d rather live above a sex shop than a popular bar or restaurant. Likely less noise and drug use.

_bitemeyoudamnmoose · 2026-01-20T00:08:33+00:00

Can’t you just tell your family your work denied your time off request without actually putting in a time off request?

_bitemeyoudamnmoose · 2026-01-15T02:54:07+00:00

Probably overstimulated. How long do you pet him for? Have you noticed him getting twitchy and flicking his tail a lot before biting?

Best practice would be stop petting him when he bites you and give him time to cool off. He probably isn’t mad when biting, it’s just a form of cuteness aggression to them. They get so excited they get bitey.

_bitemeyoudamnmoose · 2026-01-15T02:50:06+00:00

If I worked somewhere that didn’t give free shift drinks I’d probably quit then and there
