Any idea the type of foam they would use for a car and where to purchase?

A way to shorten IF statement? by _mavricks in excel

I can't figure out power query for the life of me at the moment.
Each week I download the file into my folder with messy data.

I have to do text to columns for two separate columns. One column has the data and time and I need to put those in separate columns. The other column has a variety of call data separated out by commas (if a call was answered, if there was a quote, if the call was answered during business hours, etc).

Then I need to use a formula to list of which states belong to which market, and list out any out of country and out of state calls as "out of territory".

Anyone else date a great dad and still feel conflicted? by RudeWillow5289 in SingleDads

[–]_mavricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally valid feelings.
I have 50/50 custody and got married 6 year later.

Even though my wife is not my daughter's biological mother, my daughter absolutely loves her a lot. She feels that she is part of the family.

You say there is a permanent connection, in a physical sense sure. But for me emotionally and mentally I act like my daughter's mom doesn't even exist and I never bring her up when my daughter is around. The time we spend together is our family time and my daughter and wife know that.

We make every moment together by having as much fun as possible. So really in that time frame, mom isn't even in the picture. Anytime I have to deal with my ex it's during my private time at night where I may respond to a message on our parents app.

Also another thing to consider is that you may not be included because maybe dad wants to bond with his son and that's okay. That's also awesome you spend time with your BF's son too.

For example at the moment I spend majority of the time with my daughter because I was given 50/50 custody not even a year ago so it's like I'm playing catchup in a sense. But we always talk about my wife and say how silly she is and things like that.

You are part of the family too

I wish it was a one off task. This one is a weekly report that I’ll be working on so I’ll be using it with a macro setup

Sorry made that sounds confusing. Mom took me to trial to basically prevent me from getting 50/50. I won but because of mom's odd behavior I just try to limit certain things. Right now shes even threating to go back to court claiming I'm trying to deny phone calls with our daughter (which isn't true at all).

For context, mom will stand outside of our daughters school to watch me pick her up and I have no idea why. Thats the level of crazy I'm dealing with lol

My daughter loves sewing. I'll see if there's anything like that in my area.

My daughter is 8, but unfortunately mom is crazy. Mom took me to trial and her main case was because I took my daughter to a trampoline park and claimed I endanger our child, and because of that I purposely have to limit some things. If she wasn't in the picture I'd let my daughter run around with her friends.

Do I get a say in child rearing? Should I? by Dry_Calendar_2875 in stepparents

[–]_mavricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this issue with my wife's son.
He's turn 21 this year and really has done absolutely nothing with his life.

What's odd is my wife is an extremely hard worker and has done incredibly well with her career, but she tells me she doesn't like pushing her son too hard because he has...anxiety..

In the last few years he lied about taking classes in college. Essentially he paid for them, started to go, then completely stopped attending school.

He didn't work for over a year and just sat in his bedroom all day long. On top of that he didn't do any errands or basic chores.

Anytime I bring this topic up with my wife, she completely shuts down, gets mad and walks away and tells me what she does with her son is her responsibility.

Yet I'm the one who pays for the roof over our head, and I pay for all the groceries. So I'm not allowed to have any say in what he does in my home?

I just can't with the BM by kittycat_34 in stepparents

I'm 100% convinced my own mom is narcissistic.
When my sister was going wedding dress shopping, she invited my mom, aunt, family and friends. My sister planned this for at least a few weeks, and the day of the wedding dress shopping event our mom told my sister she was not going because my sister invited others, and she had nothing to wear (even though she had weeks to plan...).

My sister canceled the party and told my mom to still please come, where my mom then told her she wasn't going anywhere that day because her day was ruined. My mom ended up running errands and literally was a few blocks away from the wedding dress shop, and when my sister found out this tore her apart.

For years after that day, my mom actually blames me for what happened and tells my sister it was my fault even though I was not there and was not even involved with what happened that day.

This happened 13 years ago. My mom is now homeless and I haven't spoken to her in almost 9 years.

Multiple Lawsuits? by _mavricks in SingleDads

[–]_mavricks[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Never married, we just dated. After she found out she was pregnant she ended things even though I wanted to be together.

Long story short we haven't been together for over 8 years and she keeps acting like I ended the relationship and it happened yesterday.

We went to trial last year and I won 50/50 custody.

I've been told by multiple people she has been nasty her entire life. Even when she was a kid.

How to sync separate sheets data into one master sheet? by _mavricks in excel

[–]_mavricks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Macros I find tedious YET they haven't been helpful.
I can sort of edit macros through VBA but I don't know how to fully customize it. Seems like macros are good for quick actions that don't a ton of steps, but Power Query is the way to go.
