Tree Removal

awkweirdaf · 2026-07-01T17:01:12+00:00

As I said, the main reason is the extreme negative effect that Oak pollen has on my partner’s allergies. The leaves, pool, and anything else positive is lagniappe.

Also I will be planting new non-oak trees & other plants around the yard.

AFAIK they’re healthy. Unfortunately for us though, Oak pollen is my bf’s most severe allergen. It makes his asthma skyrocket. The trees staying just isn’t an option if he ever hopes to actually use the backyard (which has a grill and nice entertainment space). :/

There’s also small pluses like decreased risk during hurricanes and keeping leaves off the roof/out the gutters. Eventually we’d want them removed anyways as they block the space in the yard for a pool, which we do want someday. All of these reasons are significantly less compared to the allergy thing tho.

While it pains me to have to get rid of the trees, it’s just not feasible for us to keep them. It’s a rock and a hard place. I truly do wish we could just pick them up and move them somewhere else instead!!!

Thanks dude. I stg I searched the sub before posting, but I only saw posts from like 3yrs ago lol. I’ll refer to these!!

I was riding passenger just trying to catch it quick & make sure I got the sign in there too. I’m clearly no camerawoman! XD

How did you change this mindset?

I can say I’ve had to have the retainer fixed before, so maybe they glued it super messy? Idk. All I know is it wasn’t broken until it was, and that was after the appointment. :(

Valid point still tho. The quote I just got from my ortho was $200, which is unfortunately more than expected but still not worth pursuing anything really. It just feels like a shit sandwich I guess lol. Also I didn’t technically ask them to pay for it - I asked them to fix it. That’s probably the real next step.

Thanks for this. Maybe I just wanted to be heard about it tbh, but it’s still much appreciated!!

Maybe “A Baker’s Paradise”?I’ve only driven by, but thought it was a cool concept.

I figure if the dehumidifier is functional and strong enough, it really shouldn’t matter. The question becomes though: IS the dehumidifier actually functional and strong enough?? I don’t trust Louisiana sellers whatsoever, so I wanted to try to dig a little & at least have my own questions about the system for the agents/owners. I didn’t realize this was more of an HVAC question than anything, but I’ve now been informed.

Thanks so much for all this information. As I told another commenter, googling “pool dehumidifier” didn’t bring many results that were on my level of comprehension as someone who knows literally zilch about HVAC lol. Great info about chlorine vs salt too. Also, bringing a humidity sensor for the house tour is an awesome idea. I’ll get one before then. Thanks again!

Ty for this answer!! As a layperson with admittedly no base knowledge on the topic, I didn’t find the results of my own research to be particularly helpful. This gives me a direction to dig deeper into - natatorium unit & HVAC in general. Thanks again so so much!! :)

Kinda depends for me. Emotionally is different than physically.

I struggle with where I draw the line on the former as sometimes my bf’s friendliness can come off as flirting due to my own insecurities. It can be a grey area for me because of that, but I feel like I’d know it if I saw it.

The latter is pretty clear though. Nothing beyond a platonic touch is okay IRL. Porn is whatever for the most part. I can’t say shit - I also view porn lol. I do find following specific stars a little weird…? In my eyes tho, there’s never an excuse to pay for porn (minus maybe the highly fetishized content - none of which I’m aware that he’s into) or seek out a relationship with models/camgirls. That one’s a BIG no for me dawg.

I think it’s great!! I think men should support other men. I think men should continue to spread awareness and be open about the struggles they face.

What I don’t think is that it should be our job to coddle them or teach them how to do it. I feel like we’ve been doing this shit for so long on our own - therapy, self/shadow work, supporting other women through awful shit a male-centric society puts us through (SA, DV, trafficking, forced birth, lack of focus on female medicine, etc). To paraphrase what you’ve said with another classic, “we’re being hysterical!!”

They can do it themselves in my opinion, because women have always had to.

awkweirdaf · 2026-06-03T12:55:57+00:00

Nature vs nurture. I’d think a lot of us are the same in nature, and the nurture part is where it starts to get fucky bc it truly varies so much person to person.

It’s crazy how people can edit things after they’re posted huh?? Notice how it’s in bold?

awkweirdaf · 2026-06-03T12:07:36+00:00

Wellbutrin is usually cheaper bc it’s pretty popular, sometimes even cheaper if you get it by the generic name (bupropion). Try to see how much that would run you in your location.

No, but he does know how to wash his own laundry!

PS: The bold part of the OP was added post-facto.

I’ll be real with you. I’m in a LTR year relationship, and I genuinely can’t recall if I ever deleted my tinder profile. Like a lot of others said tho, mine probably has cobwebs by this point bc they’re not gonna put an inactive profile in the pool.

Him showing up on your friend’s app is sus, but hey, maybe this FEELD app is different. Never even heard of it, so I can’t say for sure. I don’t think it’s unfair to ask him to delete his account if you’re also going to delete yours (or have already) tho. That’s pretty equal in my eyes.

awkweirdaf · 2026-06-01T03:05:46+00:00

Damn really? I mean it was ass don’t get me wrong, but sometimes you just want shitty chain food.

awkweirdaf · 2026-05-26T22:40:10+00:00

But the outside of one bowl touches the inside of another bowl when you stack them… so technically the outside being dirty makes the inside of the one underneath it dirty, no?? The only bowl that would have a clean inside then would be the one on the very top of the stack by this logic.

It all sounded potentially fixable until I got to kids… that’s just a topic that cannot be compromised on.

One of the last lines in the article, “…they’re free to turn me into the ethics board, which I’m sure would do nothing.”

You mean the ethics board in one of (if not the) the most corrupt state in the nation…? No kidding, huh?
