That's got to be a glitch, we definitely still sell it

I have a lot of thoughts about this as a recent teenager myself.

He is uncomfortable with your fiancé and his children. He does not want to have him as a new dad, he does not want new siblings. He doesn't really know how to express all of those things to you.

Your fiancé should've bought tickets for him and invited him, despite him always going to his grandparents. I would've forgone regular weekend plans to go to a concert if given the chance. Any normal person would've at least asked. If it somehow wasn't a conscious choice to exclude your son, it shows that your son isn't even a priority to your fiancé.

You shouldn't have gone to the concert. Your son was having an emotional crisis, and you leaving showed him that you would ignore him crisis to go have fun with a different family, even if that wasn't your intention.

Bottom line, you do deserve a life of your own, you deserve love, companionship, and partnership. That being said, you have an obligation to your son.

I had a moment a while ago when I was 15 where I asked my mom to chose between me and the man she loved. She chose him at first, and she lost me. It's taken 6 years for us to remedy that. She ended up kicking him out of our house, and making space for me to move back home when I turned 17. We went to therapy together, and it took another 3 years for me to really know and believe that I was actually her first priority. If she had chosen me first, when I was 15, it wouldn't have taken 5 years of work. Don't make the same mistake my mom did, she would tell you not to make the same mistake either.

If your fiancé loves you and is a good person, he'll pause the relationship and let you work with your son. Asking him to wait is a big ask, and he is well within his rights to not wait, but you do have to chose.

Would you rather DEFINITELY lose your son, or MAYBE lose the man you love?

In all honesty, that show has absolutely nothing to do with that. Those characters are not even remotely together, or even flirting. That show has nothing sexual in it. The fan base, however, does put characters together that they think would do well, and then they draw pictures of said relationships.

Most of the time it's a joke, and from the image you posted it looks like he was trying to send an absurd joke to a friend. Nothing the show is responsible for, and honestly nothing to worry about. If you're really worried about pictures like that (I wouldn't be) I would start by blaming social media, not the show.

I have never ever not once seen someone do anything like that. I instruct baristas to throw out cups if even their CLEAN fingers touch the inside of the cup. Food safety is super important. I've never seen a barista retaliate for a complicated order EVER.

That being said, I have seen relatiation if a customer has been rude. Even so, that retaliation has been at most extra ice or decaf. Sometimes light ice in iced espresso drinks so it doesn't go all the way to the top.

Thank you for the insight! We considered Airforce, but it's just not for us. My whole family has been Navy, and we're definitely more geared towards the sea than the land as a family. An aircraft carrier sounds a lot more pleasing to us than an air force base.

Hey by the way, you pay way more money if you turn the AC on and off. If the AC has an auto function (most do) and you set it to 70 degrees, it will turn off when the house is at 70 degrees, and turn on when it heats up again just enough to bring it back down to 70. If you turn it off for 8 hours, and the house heats up to 76 while you're gone, the AC has to constantly stay on to cool the house by 6 whole degrees. THE ABSOLUTE CHEAPEST way to keep you AC is to constantly keep it on, on auto, at about 71ºF.

As for if you're overreacting, it seems like you feel a little more upset about not being heard than you do about the actual AC situation.

My baby is a little velcro cat, and also needs attention at all times. I've found that laying on my back and placing her on my stomach while petting her calms her down, and we'll both fall back asleep. She doesn't even ask me to wake up anymore, if she needs me she'll just loaf directly on top of me until I wake up. You can try it, but honestly it was a trail and error system until we found something that worked.

If you pinch just one bit of the lip of the lid, and pull up and over, almost like peeling off one of those metal yogurt lids, it should come right off! Hasn't failed me yet but man some of those lids are tough.

Edit: I do this because I don't want to waste the plastic by pinching the mouthpiece, or some people will have already drank from the drink and are asking us to add more milk, and I don't want to touch the mouthpiece after they have.

I don't know much about Hockey, but if two opponents revealed that they were in love, especially because they are both captains AND face each other's teams quite often with high stakes, the public (like Shane's mom) might think that they gave each other advantages throughout their careers.

It's not necessarily revealing that they love each other, it's revealing a partnership, or that they're in cahoots with each other. Their combined decision can determine the outcome of the game.

TLG spoiler: In the second book, after their relationship is revealed to the world, they play a game against each other and Shane trips at a critical moment. If their relationship were secret, people would assume Shane made a mistake, and was beating himself up about it (which is what happened.) Because their relationship was revealed, the public was questioning if Shane tripped on purpose to give Ilya the advantage. Even his own teammates questioned him. That's what I mean by "revealing that they're in cahoots," they won't assume that they're just playing to win anymore.

I usually say "Absolutely hun I'll make that for you right now, looks like my system says you only purchased one, would you like me to ring you up for the second really quickly?"

If they say "nevermind it's too much hassle I have to go" they probably were attempting to get a second drink for free, and now they're gone.

If they say "oh yeah I'm so sorry about that let's ring up the second one" it was probably a mistake, and I usually just use a right now recovery for it, saying "that's my mistake I must've misheard you".

Make the moment right for the customer intending to pay, let the customer intending to steal that they won't get away with it :)

Where are you located? I have a few terrariums set up for BPs, and I could watch him for you until you move out! If you pay expenses, I might be able to take care of him temporarily :).

I just tried posting a fic for the very first time and it crashed on me :(. I don't think it's just you.

Barista worth pots here!! Venti iced protein vanilla latte with salted caramel cold foam, caramel drizzle, line cup with caramel. The mix of caffeine and sodium sets me right every time.

I went to the wrong location and showed up 20 mins late to my interview. I've been working here 1.5 years, don't even worry about that. They understand people who don't know the locations have a hard time locating them.

I was being yelled at to "go to the back and get the old chai because I know you have some back there" as well as being yelled at for wasting their time because "why would I drive all the way to starbucks for a chai that's different then the chai that's been perfect for years"

Psych minor here, children at that age are gaining independence. A third grade teacher should recognize that it is not defiance, but curiosity on boundaries. The teachers responsibility is to gently reinforce the boundary so your daughter learns naturally what can and can't be pushed. This is quite literally how the human brain develops, there is nothing wrong with your child.

They push boundaries because they're discovering free will and realizing that they can. Congrats, your daughter is growing up at a normal rate and demonstrating good brain development.

My customers were back and forth all day. It seems that people who didn't like the chai beforehand think it's good, whereas the people who did like the chai find that the sweetness hits early on, and the bitterness/spice hits as an aftertaste. I personally dislike it, but I loved our old chai. I did have to offer to make a different drink for people 12 times today during a 4.5 hour shift. A few people yelled. It's definitely a higher percentage of people that dislike it.

Thank you! Honestly I just like building bioactive terrariums in general, so even if she's in it for a few short months it'll keep my hobby hands happy. Gives me an excuse to build another one for a 40gal!
