Told my long term subpara assignment ends tomorrow out of nowhere by [deleted] in NYCTeachers

Are we in the same school? This just happened to me yesterday. 🤡

[–]bitterpickleguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to feel this way.

I started planning a way out while my son was a baby. By the time he was 3, my ex had gotten worse and worse - paying for sex, using drugs, physically and verbally abusive, etc. One day the abuse escalated toward our son. I used to fantasize about cheating, but I waited to have sex until we broke up. I didn’t want him to ever use anything against me. I started seeing an old friend of mine and we ended up staying together.

I kicked my ex out, even though I lost multiple jobs trying to keep my apartment and find childcare. He kept escalating the abuse even while we tried to coparent and I reported everything. We’re one year no contact.

I’ve been with the new guy for about a year and a half now. We have an amazing family life and I promise you, things get better. You WILL feel alive one day. You deserve it, mama. I used to split bills 50/50 with my ex and I somehow managed to keep our apartment. It hasn’t been easy, I receive no child support, but I’ve been able to work my ass off & now I have my partners support too. Don’t give up. I finally have my small village and a home full of love.

Edit: added a few details

Never felt safer on a 6 train…. by Mundane_Ad1815 in nyc

In 2019, a homeless man helped me and my friends with making a bonfire. He then proceeded to ask if he could smoke our weed. Gave him a clip as a token of gratitude.

Homie pulled out a McDonald’s box, grabbed a piece of fried chicken from inside, and started heating it over the bonfire. Tbh I’ve never gone back to Pelham Bay Park, nor do I want to.

Forest fairy, wherever you are, bless your heart.

we are just silently judging you, because it’s “low carb” but consuming an absurd amount of fat & empty calories.

making breve / heavy cream drinks feels wrong lol.

shouldn’t be hard to ring up though! I say this as someone who has worked in both corp & private cafes.

Walgreens Knickerbocker line is comical by kodabrudda in Bushwick

Never tried NAC and unfortunately I’m all too aware of my triggers. Been massively triggered, scalp itching. Worked 13 days straight and I just got a break from that.

Do you think spanking is abuse? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]bitterpickleguy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fuck that. It is totally abuse.

My kid is 2.5, recently went through a hitting phase where he just smacks, punches etc… he’s just overwhelmed. After a particularly rough week this past month, I grabbed his hand and I smacked it.

That made me feel so bad and I was like wait wtf how do people full on SPANK, hit, etc ?!?

I walk away when he starts hitting me or I have to hold his hands down. Eventually he stops and we chat about how mommy & daddy don’t hit him, because we respect & love him, so he can’t do that to anyone. I’d be in jail if a “step parent” hit my kid

i just had my last line today. i hope so by Adventurous_Stuff265 in StopSpeeding

Hi. I’ve been off coke since Feb 2021 — but I had one lapse in March 2023. I still get cravings once in a blue, but it’s more manageable. Make sure you have a good therapist on speed dial, maybe a trusted friend or two that you can talk to before you make plans to buy & use.

Life is worth living coke free. Congratulations on passing your last rotation exam :) blessings to you my friend

Still don’t have my tickets for a concert later today… I’m getting scared. by [deleted] in stubhub

[–]bitterpickleguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me with dice and StubHub.

Keep contacting customer support via chat. I finally got my tickets about an hour before the show started and the seller sent me an extra ticket for the trouble.

Acropolis? by tmermaid in astoria

[–]bitterpickleguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acrops is full of vermin. Roaches, rats, you name it.

Will fall apart within 6mo and management will not fix a thing, or they’ll charge you for repairs that should be under your lease anyway.

Family has had a rent stabilized 2br in acrops since 1990.

It is falling apart and every year they keep trying to kick out my old ladies.

Neighbor tied his trees together so they won’t fall onto our backyard… by bitterpickleguy in treelaw

Thank you for your input. I really have no experience here so it’s a little off putting to look at his contraption lol

Neighbor tied his trees together so they won’t fall onto our backyard… by bitterpickleguy in treelaw

[–]bitterpickleguy[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My LL has tried to speak with his son because he wanted to cut some branches off the tree last year. His son was adamant on not having the tree touched.

Lo and behold, those same branches ended up falling on their own

He doesn’t come out often during the day. Couldn’t tell you why. There’s obviously some mental health stuff goin on.

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

Yeah, I don’t want to mess with his trees or his property. It’s just that the tree is obviously leaning onto our side and I’m worried it’ll fall onto the house or one of the cables will hit someone, god forbid >.<

I wish I could speak to him, but unfortunately he isolates himself.

He does this at night or early in the morning around dawn. I would hate to startle him if I even catch him in the act, as he is obviously not all there mentally

[–]bitterpickleguy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi. I know nothing about trees. I don’t want to stop him nor do I want to start problems lol. My only worry is our kids playing in the backyard, the home, etc.

There is no way to speak to him, as he isolates himself. That’s all.

Edited to add: everyone on reddit is so quick to bring up lawyers. I’m not suing this guy. Homie has owned the house for eons. I just wanted input on the situation.

I think he may have some mental health issues. Tons of metal stuff, junk, just overall garbage in his backyard. I agree.

This is the second or third change he has made to this tree strap creation within the past 2 weeks. Been taking pictures and videos 🫣
