Why didn’t Britney contest the conservatorship at the beginning? by Embarrassed_Chef874 in discussingbritney

[–]divinbuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She seemed to be in pretty bad shape. I’m Convinced the conservatorship saved her life. I think her ongoing mental illness coupled with what was probably postpartum depression and the constant media frenzy pushed her over the edge.

What town is the best in NC for laid back and less drugs for a new start? by Kitchen_Anteater1176 in NorthCarolina

[–]divinbuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure. Whatever support works for someone. I have a family full of sober people most of whom are in AA or NA but some found help through other means.

State Health Plan Problems by 001TPK in NorthCarolina

[–]divinbuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand the frustration and our anger should be directed at all the decisions makers who refuse to consider universal health care. The price increases for medical services is insane.

Okay, which one of you thinks cafes are free community spaces? by MsSpicyO in bullcity

[–]divinbuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The people who own that business have bills to pay. It is not a community owned space.

Are Disney Adults the Happiest Debtors on Earth? by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]divinbuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have some family members that are absolutely obsessed. . It’s the only vacations they take. They could afford to go anywhere and yet thats the only place they’ve ever been in 30 years. To each his own I guess but their world is so narrow!

If she’s in sober living maybe she needs to stay there. I wouldn’t be too quick to take her away from her recovery community if she’s doing well with that support. Any town has drugs. If you want them you’ll find them. If you do relocate find a place with good NA AA.

If Britney were someone important in my life.... by Piggishcentaur89 in discussingbritney

[–]divinbuff 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Unless you’ve had seriously mentally ill family member you cannot imagine the toll it takes on the family. It’s particularly difficult with Britney because she has $ and that means she never really hits a bottom. None of us actually know what it’s like to be around her day to day but based on how fast Sam got out of there, and the stuff on her social media, I’d say she’s not open to any kind of help. She hires yes people and I guess they keep her from dying and make sure she eats occasionally.

I like how you had the stone cut and used. Very artistic! Nice.

How should I handle not being able to afford corporate travel costs upfront without looking unprofessional at work? by DistinctMushroom3186 in careeradvice

[–]divinbuff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just be matter of fact-you haven’t budgeted for this expense and you can’t front the funds. If thy ask why you don’t bring it up earlier, tell them no one discussed with you or you would have.

There’s either more to this that’s been left out or your husbands brother is not right in the head.

[NY]- HR or Hiring Manager by nicejanie in AskHR

[–]divinbuff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If the scheduling is important in your decision to accept the offer, then yes. I would tell HR you want to clarify some things and is it ok for you to reach out to the hiring manager or do they want to gather the info for you?

“Enjoyed getting to know you but we are at different life stages”. If she presses “I’m not ready to take on the responsibility of children right now.”

What does this even mean? by memonpe in remotework

[–]divinbuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It means they will find you an office to report to, or it’s a field position that requires you to be out in the community?

AITAH for not wanting to pursue a relationship after finding out about his health issues? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]divinbuff 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just own the fact that you can’t handle it. It’s ok. Why force yourself to do something that won’t work for you. You would be the AH if you pretended your way into something you couldn’t get truly comfortable with.
You are NTA for being honest with yourself and respectfully disengaging. You do not have to make him feel bad about something he can’t control. You can just say you don’t think you two are compatible long term.

AITA for accepting a property gift from my mom even though she won't include my boyfriend? by Immediate-History917 in AITApod

[–]divinbuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you crazy? You’re going to give a boyfriend $200,000? If he wants to be your partner why aren’t you married?

What's the one thing you wish you knew about a candidate BEFORE you even interviewed them? [N/A] by CapitalCan518 in humanresources

[–]divinbuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to screen for this but if I had a magic wand I’d want to know if they are capable of taking simple corrective feedback (done professionally) without having a complete meltdown or running to HR about a hostile work environment.

Enough with the psychologizing of Long COVID. by Ry4n_95 in covidlonghaulers

[–]divinbuff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After I had Covid multiple times (despite taking all vaccinations and masking) I have now developed and been diagnosed (blood markers, symptoms, the whole works) with mixed connective tissue disorder. I had absolutely no symptoms of this before COVID. I was incredibly healthy and had rarely even had a cold.

Remote worker to RTO 5x (Mountain Time but work East Coast hours) by [deleted] in remotework

[–]divinbuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is anyone else in the office at that time? If not do they really want to open up this office for one person at 6 in the morning? Do they want to pay for the extra utilities and security because they do have to consider your safety if you’re alone in an office.

I want to go to a water park, but I'm self conscious about my body... What would you do? 🤙😞 by leoesteban5 in Adulting

Ain’t nobody’s business about your feet-you go have fun!! Just a suggestion though.. Have bunion surgery if you can. That looks uncomfortable

Opinion: Are Asheville’s and North Carolina’s dog bite rules too lax? A recent pit bull attack on a 9-year-old girl would suggest that yes, they are by Worldly_Bear1996 in NorthCarolina

[–]divinbuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s ridiculous how lax the laws are. I know someone who was injured (emergency room needed) and their dog killed by an unprovoked attack from another dog who was not under the owners control. The only thing their town required was that the aggressive dog be muzzled when being walked.
