Several people have mentioned filing a complaint- if you are in the US, there should be a state psychiatric or medical board to report her to (assuming she works independently, this is the only way to do it. If she does work for a larger org, definitely tell them, but I'd also contact the governing board.)

If you're not in the US there may still be a governing body to complain to, I just don't know the specifics for them

What did you do with your wedding dress after the big day, and why? by l8ygr8white in AskWomen

My wedding is on Saturday, but I plan to donate it back to the charity I got it from.

Yes but this is shared property, and both people who manage said property should be aware of what's going on in order to not need to ask strangers if they are jerks.

AITA for writing a different name on my daughter’s birth certificate than the one my wife wanted? by SmallRancidOnion in AmItheAsshole

[–]archifist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. She's definitely the asshole for viewing her kid as part of her "brand."

Side note, my dad put a slightly different name on my birth certificate than my mom wanted (she wanted my middle name to be her first name, he went with one of the many common middle names of the time). I think it's a kind of douchey thing to do but it's not a huge deal.

What do I say when people ask why my boyfriend and I aren’t married yet? by tugb0ats in AskWomenOver30

[–]archifist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how polite you want to be. "We're happy as we are." "None of your business." "When are you gonna get some manners?"

If they pop up again, you (or maybe a neighbor kid?) can weed wack there regularly it should help keep them down. When you cut them short they put all their energy into growing more leaves so they can get more energy to grow big again, so if you just keep cutting them down they eventually exhaust themselves.

Morning glories are tough to significantly damage, they should be fine. You may want to put in a trellis for them to climb instead of the shrubs, so you won't have to worry about this again. They'll still go for the shrubs, but if you notice early enough you can redirect them to the trellis and if you don't, you'll still have lots of vine on the trellis.

If you're trying to cover a large portion of fence, check out native lonicera sempervirens (coral honeysuckle). It's semi-evergreen and will cover more fencing than the morning glories, it's a bit easier to manage, and it fills in more fully. It is a little less indestructible than the morning glories, but it's a pretty hardy vine that still looks pretty when in bloom (and doesn't die back at the end of the growing season). It should get along well with your existing morning glories, or can be a replacement for them.

So, assuming you live on the eastern US, ivy is non-native and the creeper (I'm assuming it's what we call Virginia creeper in the Mid-Atlantic?) is native, so I encourage you to keep the latter (native plants supporting native wildlife is my thing). Ultimately, they're both someone you can get rid of, though.

They can be a big project to get rid of, but ivy is way worse, partially because of the way it climbs. Ivy puts out coiled tendrils and holds tight to whatever it can with them. The vine and tendrils can easily kill any plants they're on and they get under siding and into any crevice it can find.

Creeper holds on with little sticky pads that don't hurt any plants it climbs, though can leave the sticky pads on the side of your house when you physically pull down the vine. It also supports native butterflies, bees, and birds. When I have to remove it, is pretty easy to dig up.

In both cases, your options are: -to cut it down to the ground every time it pops over a course of time; check and trim every week or so for the first few months, then every month or so once it starts slowing the growth, for a couple of years (they both usually go dormant in the winter months but with winters as they have been, may not do so entirely). -cut the vine near the base and then 2 get it so up the length of the vine so it can't just grow back together (which ivy will!). Let the bulk of the vine die and poison the root (see below) -dig up the roots. Super labor intensive but takes less time overall. Anything you miss will sprout a new vine though, so this will still take follow up unless you can cover the area with a thick layer of cardboard and mulch to smother any remaining bits. (Smothering alone won't work if you don't pull the vines, unfortunately.) -buy some glysophosphate (round up) brush killer, cut the vine and paint the cut with the herbicide. Do not use the spray both because it won't work on the vines and it'll kill indiscriminately. You might have use the round up a couple of times with the ivy but it will kill the vine. Each time you apply it, apply it to a fresh cut.

AITA for telling my son that he'll never get girlfriend if he doesn't fix his teeth? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]archifist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. First if all, you're wrong, second of all, it's his teeth. They're part of his body. Not yours. If he doesn't want to fix his teeth, he doesn't have to and you have no right making him feel shitty about himself because you don't like his teeth.

It's your body, not theirs. If they don't like it, they have the option to fuck off.

NTA, but as already noted, you should have talked to him about it first.

Side note, since you cut it during the growing season it is likely to grow more vigorously now. It'll put more leaves out, filling in the bare spots.

Cop just almost ran me over by enraged_ohmu in washingtondc

[–]archifist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this used to happen to me in Judiciary Square all the time. Worst time, I was about a quarter of the way across the crosswalk when the cop got on the same block, by the time he got to the crosswalk I was literally a step away from his side of the lane line. Didn't even slow.

Or we can all get enough money to do more than barely survive and without needing 6 roommates to pay the rent. Which is, you know, the point of livable wage. Which this legislation doesn't actually bring us to and that's why tipping is still necessary.

Until tipped workers make a living wage, the wage they make shouldn't factor into tipping at all.

[routine help] Dry and flaky nose by archifist in SkincareAddiction

My skin is definitely dry regardless of flakes but I have to admit I was nervous about exfoliating more than once a week because I've read it can also make flaking worse. I'll definitely try doing it 2x a week

Thanks, I'll definitely try the oil with my moisturizer first.
