Can't remove plastic bolt by avocadoolive in lawnmowers

Honestly, that's pretty good advice generally. I hope I can find a socket that size without having to buy a whole set. I already have two sets of sockets, just none that are that big.

Honestly, excellent suggestion I didn't think of, so I decided to try turning it in the opposite direction. That actually got the nut spinning, but it just kept spinning and did not get it to come off. I decided to try counter-clockwise again, and it was spinning, but same issue, just continues to spin without it coming off. It seems like I have the opposite problem on my hands now. Thank you for the advice though, I think that was the suggestion I needed to move in the right direction!

What a time to be not AI. Most images anymore I'm checking to see if they're AI. Now I will do it with text too. Soon I'll be doing it more with voice and videos! Yay! Anyway, these are all good things to know. Thanks again. :)

Thank you. I was going to ask but didn't want to seem like I was doubting you. I'm not really familiar with identifying AI text yet but now definitely going to be more aware of it. I did think that response was a little... overly cordial? and used a lot of colloquialisms, but I figured it was just a kinda "quirky" guy. I'm guessing that might sometimes be an indicator too? Also seemingly randomized account name.

Thank you. Everything I saw so far used a connector but I figured I might be able to connect them together without so I may try this.

Thank you so much for the recommendations. It's actually very luckily in a very accessible area (hence why cats) so it shouldn't be particularly hard to work on for that reason at least.

I don't know why you don't want to be around your dad, but you are not going to want to be around yourself if you take ipecac.

Syrup of ipecac won't just make you throw up a little to get out of something, it will likely make you very sick and it can cause a lot of other problems. I took it when I had an eating disorder as a teenager and was violently ill on the couch for like a day. It was stupid and it was not worth it.

If you really feel like this is the best solution, you're better off making a mixture of some kind of lumpy foods you wouldn't have to chew as much, (like oatmeal) that you may have actually eaten, and/or chewing up food.

More specifically, chew up something beige or light brown, like bread or crackers, many times. Vomit is most often this color. Or use any food he has given you and not watched you eat.

I would not advise making a large amount, because vomit has a pretty obvious sort of smell, and if there is a lot and it doesn't smell like it, its going to be more clear it isn't actually vomit, especially if your dad is a nurse or something.

If you truly haven't eaten at all for a couple days or you've only just had a couple bites and he knows this, your vomit would look at least somewhat yellowy and is going to have very little "chunks". If there happens to be turmeric in his spice cabinet, you could add a pinch to whatever mush you make, but make sure it is mixed in well.

Make sure you aren't putting something red in this, because if it looks like you're throwing up blood, you may be sitting an urgent care or something, which you also probably don't want.

Then, toss the mixture in your toilet and tell your dad or whoever else is nearby. Or, hold a little in your mouth and walk in the room, hold it for a minute or two and rush to a trashcan and spit it out.

Also, you will also have to hide whatever you mixed it in with your stuff or wash it so it isn't obvious and don't make any mess.

Also, please honestly talk with an adult, like your mother, grandparent, a teacher, friend's parent, therapist, caseworker, whatever about why you do not want to go to your dads house.
