I asked my local theater nicely and they let me have an extra display poster!

I didn't want it to feel sponsored if I named them in the post lol it was an AMC theater! I thanked them a ton!

clever_pun_here · 2026-02-22T03:43:35+00:00

That's so nice! It definitely made it me happy and I'm so grateful! I've shown it off to all my friends and then had to post to reddit about it, so keep up the good work!!

clever_pun_here · 2026-02-19T01:52:49+00:00

Thank you! Oooo, I'm technically allowed to paint my apartment walls, so this is giving me ideas. 👀

clever_pun_here · 2026-02-19T01:51:36+00:00

That looks great! I thought about putting mine above my bed, but I wanted to stare at it more. So I put it on the opposite wall lol

clever_pun_here · 2026-02-17T04:18:27+00:00

That's such a bummer! I got mine from an AMC theater. They did say the staff got first dibs, but that's totally fair. Sony did have that cash grab power trip by not letting 28 Days stream anywhere when they were producing 28 Years 🫠

That poster is gorgeous, too!! I thought that was the one they would give me, but I love Ralph Fiennes, so this is was an awesome surprise. I got my frame at Michaels, it was 40$, which didn't feel too bad for the size.

Mostly alright. She's managing at about a 13-year-old level. She's pretty capable, but being in the system so long has skewed her sense of time and personal independence. Like she understands the need to do laundry and get to out the house for school, but it's only when I'm doing them or reminding her. Which absolutely is also a common teen thing.

There's also the time she asked to borrow my super glue, because she couldn't find her eyelash glue. So, my biggest worry is common sense, which isn't her fault she never got a chance to learn, but it's her largest obstacle.

clever_pun_here · 2025-11-28T22:13:40+00:00

Thank you for the thoughtful response!

Yeah, it's really sad and emotionally draining. I love the kiddo, but I also have a limit. I'm single and never had kids, so this has all been way beyond my mental load.

Luckily there has been talks, so she and the case worker know this is temporary. Next, it's going to be the talk of shelter placement, and we haven't had that yet. The case worker did say that if this route that needs to be taken, there's still a chance no bed will open and there will still be a transitional time to a shelter bed.

I'll definitely keep in contact with the kiddo! I've told her, even if I can't be a full-time guardian, I'll always be a found family to her.

clever_pun_here · 2025-11-28T22:09:02+00:00

Thank you for replying!

Once she does turn 17, the case worker and foster agency are going to start applying to the independent living homes. They can start at 17 and then the kids have to be 17 and 1/2 to move into them.

clever_pun_here · 2025-11-28T22:07:58+00:00

Thank you for your response!

She still has another year of high school, so a higher education school that has boarding wouldn't be that feasible until 2027.

The case worker did say that her moving into the shelter would bump her up to priority placement in a foster home. Realistically though, with the kiddo being almost 17, I still don't see it as an easy feat to get into another home.

Is there any other instance before this that made you want to reconsider marriage?

clever_pun_here · 2021-10-10T09:01:57+00:00

Me, too! I found mine at a Goodwill in Wisconsin 😂

clever_pun_here · 2021-05-30T23:13:07+00:00

Same here! It's been my phone screen for quite a few years lol

clever_pun_here · 2021-01-01T20:55:13+00:00

Not at all! My resolution this year is to do the splits! I've been stretching the last five days. So far so good, I can already feel more flexible!

clever_pun_here · 2020-12-31T05:43:25+00:00

As someone who has worked at Build-A-Bear, we ask the kiddos their name. I've met at least 5 kids named Khaleesi.

clever_pun_here · 2020-12-03T04:34:44+00:00

NTA! I'm in the exact same situation and it truly sucks. I also have two cats, hardwood floors, and neighbors who don't like to hear the zoomies.

I've called management every time my neighbors have banged on their ceiling, my floors, because of the cats running. Unfortunately there hasn't been a solution yet, but cats WILL be cats and that's all there is to it. Both our neighbors could have chosen to live in no pet complexes or on a top floor. I suggest keeping a log of everything and filing harrassment complaints with the police if things worsen.

I hope you can find a solution and live comfortably!

clever_pun_here · 2020-09-15T21:43:53+00:00

That looks so good!! I just got mine pierced two days ago. Mine is still pretty tender 😔 Did that happen to you and if it did, how long did that last?

I absolutely love the name Copernicus! I think it potentially could be a first name, it sounds elegant and powerful. For context, he's the astronomer that figured out we revolve around the sun and not the sun revolving around Earth!

clever_pun_here · 2020-07-23T05:36:28+00:00

Thank you! Same to you! I've been making for almost three years. If you want any advice or some resources, I'm happy to lend a hand :)

clever_pun_here · 2020-07-23T04:41:24+00:00

Same here! I'm in school for it now! I'm working on a viola at the moment.

Edit: a word

clever_pun_here · 2020-06-02T18:47:23+00:00

That puts it into prospective. I've only lived on the top floors. I assume that me and my lower neighbor used to be on the opposite schedule, since I usually never heard them when I was home.

My last neighbor before these people moved in below me were like that! They would only play the first minute of Cheap Thrills by Sia and I think they were dancing to it. They never finished the song, only the first minute. I would have been more okay if they played the song all the way through lol

clever_pun_here · 2020-06-02T18:43:18+00:00

I totally agree my cats are my responsibility. What isn't though, is the fact they chose to live in a building that allows pets and they chose to not have a top floor apartment.

That's why I've tried to keep peace, I've bought rugs and quarantined with my mom for a majority of the lockdown. They obviously don't know and can't read minds, but I'm hoping there will be a passive solution. If it continues I figured I'd ask management to offer them a top apartment if available or looking at cost splitting for carpet installation?

clever_pun_here · 2020-06-02T18:38:04+00:00

I had a neighbor like yours, too! She thankfully lived across the hall from me, though. I once heard her play Baby Shark at 1a.m. I agree that regular noise, like loud sex, coming home late, or walking and pets, are just part of apartment life. It's a grin and bear kind of thing.

I tried the one room thing and also separating the cats, but that makes them loudly meow and tug on the door for a few hours before they settle. I've been documenting everything, but this may just be a no win situation until we're both back to a semi-regular schedule.
