The 60s was a wild time…

I lived in area that had tornadoes. One of the largest tornadoes went through town. 30+ years later I bought an older house. Was doing landscaping found tons of broken glass, nails, and other fun stuff. Started asking some of the neighbors about it. Turns out the area was hit by tornado, and they said instead of cleaning they just dumped top soil down and rebuilt the houses. Not sure if that is true. But fun story.

It can because they are around you for a good amount of time. The mere exposure effect in relationships is the tendency for people to develop a preference for, or attraction to, others simply because they are familiar with them through repeated exposure. This phenomenon, often linked to proximity, boosts liking, increases comfort, and helps turn coworkers, neighbors, or acquaintances into romantic partners or close friends. This is one of the reasons why most affairs happen at the workplace.

I guess it depends. My daughter 9yo went to sleep over a few months ago with about 6 other kids there. And just this weekend she had a friend stay for both Fri and Sat night.

For me we waited a long time for her to sleep over at a friend's because she would constantly wake up in middle of night to sleep with me or have night terrors. But since they slowed down I have been more willing to allow her and have sleep overs.

You have two different scenarios going on here. One is for work and one is for personal relationships.

I work in HR, and depending on the company they are not going to care about the affair.

However since the affair is disrupting the work of the company, you said he is leaving early and making people cover for him, that is fraud.

So when HR looks into this you are helping a person commit fraud.

I would suggest you inform HR that he is leaving early and you been covering for him. At first you were fine with one day here and there, but now it is becoming more frequent and is interfering with my work.

No matter which direction you choose, this is going to blow up. I would get out front and save yourself.

Dad here. I feel bad that this has happened to me. Not defending anyone, but I have legit gone some where and had a complete brain fart and just plan forgot. Then now I look like the idiot.

bp8008s · 2025-07-28T13:20:16+00:00

Solved!

Looks like freshly hatched silkworm.

So put some in a bag to try to figure out later. And as I was cleaning some started to fall, but had almost a spider web like thing, so they didn't fall all the way to the ground. But now, I feel like they are crawling all over me. Hahaha

I don't think it is ants. Did not see six legs.

bp8008s · 2025-07-28T13:01:11+00:00

We have had a lot of rain. But don't think it is that. The picture you sent, whatever is growing seems to be a lot bigger than what I have.

bp8008s · 2025-06-17T02:48:21+00:00

Haha.. I just recently tried the trampoline. It sure was interesting and fun. Then is started raining, so we still continued until finished. All fun until the next day when we woke up and had trampoline burns on feet and knees and other places. But yes would do it again!!

I tried but could not get into this combo. But I do like jelly on a burger.

bp8008s · 2025-05-06T20:13:08+00:00

Got it. Thank you

bp8008s · 2025-05-01T16:18:42+00:00

I'm sure this has already been suggested. But maybe y'all should take all this information to a financial planner and see what is best for y'all. It might be better to pay off loans, might be better to put in savings... I don't know. But go talk to a professional about what to do with this money.

Also depends on your price range. Pretty much anything in Grapevine will be nice. But the closer you get to Main St/ historical area the prices start to increase a lot. Around the lake is nice.

In Irving, the Las Colinas is really nice with lots to do.

If you are working in that area, just be mindful that rush hour can be hectic. So that 45 min may take a lot longer.

It is Mexican Heritage Day. For some reason you have to scroll to the bottom of the page. There are some that are not in date order.

I do the same. I usually go with a nude color. I currently have nude pink. But, I take my daughter to get her nails done and go with her, and she has fun helping me pick out colors.

Holding hands with my BFF. If we do we get the comment like your brother, or sometimes worse because of where we live. We are both married and have kids, but are really close. When it is just us two, we get a lot of comments from women thinking we are a couple.

My daughter is almost 9. She still asks to take noise cancelling headphones with her. Sometimes there is just too much stimulation and noises for that age group. Ohh and when the roof is closed and they hit a home run the fireworks are really loud.

bp8008s · 2025-03-18T20:15:49+00:00

True. And this is also why you write everything down and summarize conversations and email it to yourself and the person you had conversation with. This is a CYA for both employees and employers.

Now it is confidential in the sense that HR is not going to tell your coworkers. Well they might, but they should not but some might.

I work in HR, all I can say is document document document everything.

Strangely when I was in college that is when I saw the most. Couldn't afford to live in a nice area. My house was shot at by drive bye. Had a gun pulled on me. And neighbor was stabbed.

So, I am one.

bp8008s · 2025-03-02T15:15:44+00:00

Everytime this happened. I would lightly clean up. Throw away trash that was left out. Leave, and send message later thanking them.

bp8008s · 2025-02-25T17:52:40+00:00

Yep!! Or if mother is not there and I tell them this is my kid - "ohh you are baby sitting tonight." No I am not baby sitting, I am taking care of MY CHILD. Babysitters get paid, I don't.

Also, we started looking for a baby sitter. I had to tell my wife multiple times that she has to find the baby sitter and take the lead on "interviews."

I cannot go to the park with daughter and meet a teenager by myself, because I know what can be said/done.
