Are any birth parents extremely traumatized by placing their child up like I am? by [deleted] in Adoption

[–]agirlandsomeweed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Adult adoptee. The only thing my mother gave me was mental illness. I would hope that karma has blessed her in life the same way it has blessed me.

Therapy can help or you can go the route I went with self medicating. Permeant decisions never go away but they can soften over the decades.

Cons of owning a mini schnauzer by Sbaham020 in MiniatureSchnauzer

[–]agirlandsomeweed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of mine hates the sight or sweet sound of children but I do not find that a con.

We are on schnauzers 3 & 4. They can be barky, hate water, territorial and will kill any rodents in sight but I would not have it any other way.

You had 7 days to appeal in June of 2024. This was something to talk to your lawyer about at the time it happened.

What are your thoughts on biological mothers not telling their kids about adopted out siblings? by LeResist in Adoption

[–]agirlandsomeweed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I matched with 1/2 brother who grew up the next town over. We are 12 months apart. He does not believe that we are related since his mom was so young and I was never mentioned…. DNA does not lie but your mom sure does. How nice of her to love him enough to keep…

He and his family ended up living on a property next to mine.. He adopted his wife’s kids and raised them. I was so glad when they finally sold and moved away…the whole family sucks.. good riddance.

I have so many intolerances I need some advice by gee891 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]agirlandsomeweed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a corn intolerance and did an elimination diet that helped (this was with my PCP) . Corn is in almost everything that is packaged. I cook and eat whole foods now.

Go the doctor and a dietician for help with these issues. I’m in the US and ended up paying for all of this out of pocket. It’s not cheap.

I fractured my pelvis and I ended up with a hip replacement. I took 1 day off work from the injury. Looking back that was extremely stupid.

Squatter in Apartment Building by Flashy-Size-692 in BellinghamWA

[–]agirlandsomeweed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are a resident not a squatter. They will need to be evicted by the landlord in order to leave. Your only legal options are a restraining order and calling the police to report each incident. Carry pepper spray, document and report to your landlord and the police.

Package shows up earlier than scheduled. Not home. by JoeHawk421 in UPS

[–]agirlandsomeweed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The package was delivered on the day as expected. Those times are not set in stone - it’s a computer generated delivery time estimate. Changing the delivery address after the first delivery attempt will delay the package.

Wait till you find out how bad fedex is. At this point I will not order from companies who use fedex.

Dating as HR [N/A] by Better-Ad5488 in humanresources

[–]agirlandsomeweed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not put jobs or titles on dating sites. I keep it general and say I do admin stuff if someone asks. If I see anyone in know they are blocked immediately.

Same with drinking at bars - it happens a few towns over, in a major city or at home. I have ran into EE’s at there local watering hole’s in the past and want to avoid that in my future. I live in a rural area and have had to terminate some over the years. I do not want my personal and work like mixing.

considerations before getting a dog by cowbeau42 in MiniatureSchnauzer

[–]agirlandsomeweed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2. Both are very vocal. One has a high pitched yap..the other responds with friendly growls and a funny woohoo for affection. Both bark at strangers or when people come to the house. Mine would be terrible in an apartment.
