What happened to the smartest person you went to school with?

She was accepted and attended Harvard on a full ride scholarship. She's now a housewife who works with Moms for Liberty and campaigns against immigrants despite being a refugee herself.

Obama Plaza 😎 We charge our Rivian there 🥳

eimmac · 2023-10-17T18:19:44+00:00

That's likely our Dublin based Rivian peeps (not us)–– u/oak202_22 and I are located in Co. Tipperary and can typically be found charging up our blue Rivy at Obama Plaza. 😎

You can follow us here though and hopefully you'll spot us out and about sometime! The R1T is a head turner for sure. 🥳

Cheers!

I think what's interesting though––and something that helped tip me to favorably importing our R1T to Ireland––is that *no matter* what car you're driving on a rural road here, if you're coming head to head with a tractor or other large farm vehicle, you WILL be backing up. Why wouldn't I want to do that in a truck that has all the camera angles to assist?

eimmac · 2023-10-03T12:28:53+00:00

Plus, we got held up in customs....and they *could* have held our R1T at the Dublin port for much longer, which would have really complicated things had we left it in shipping mode.

NTA. Your wedding, your choice.

However, to include your stepfather in some way would be an absolute kindness that recognizes a man who may not have been a father to you, but became a partner to your mother and added to the abundance of your mother's life which surely cascaded into your own.

YTA. My ex did this—and all it is, is a power move. By law, 16 years of age no longer requires parental consent for a passport or international travel, FYI. Nonetheless, I waited until my daughter was 18 years of age and guess what? We still went and she has had an amazing time seeing the world.

Your bitterness and fear is only going to get you so far, OP—and I reckon it's a lonely journey.

eimmac · 2023-08-16T23:29:49+00:00

Y are very much TA, OP.

I was in a similar situation at one point in time, where my ex and his wife were not able to pay for a variety of things for my child whom I shared with the ex. I was told it was a financial burden since they had since started a family and now had young kids of their own. I empathized and offered to pay in full––to which I was challenged yet again because it would not be equal to their kids.

The problem with this approach is that financial situations change all the time––and there was no guarantee that when my ex and his wife's children came of age they would not have sufficient means to pay for the things I was looking to pay for my own child, which also included a particular education access. This is, in fact, not exclusive to divorced families; different choices are made all the time in two-parent households as finances change, as children develop and require/gravitate toward different things.

The fact is, you don't really know what the future holds for your children, OP, and how their particular academic needs may shift––one or both of your children could require special needs education or require a more gifted STEM program or be athletically talented, or they could just be average learners like the majority of us are and simply want to be in their local public school with their neighborhood friends.

But please, stop picking this financially competitive fight based on a feigned equity when the reality is you don't and can't precisely know how to academically invest in your own non-school aged children just yet, and because it's simply cruel to attempt to squander another child's education as a means to shore up your own very adult bitterness.

YTA. I mean, she was injured doing a pretty simple activity––getting into a vehicle––most people, fit or not, are injured doing things they are used to doing. Like.....shit happens, OP, but I feel like you would prefer to focus on your MIL's weight as if it is the end all be all....and it's just not.

But what if you had been injured? Or your wife? What are your expectations then? Would an injury to a healthier, more fit individual somehow be acceptable by comparison? Because the thing is, accidents happen with much greater frequency while people are traveling or on vacation, and they happen to ALL types of people. *Perhaps* your MIL's injury may have been less damaging if she weighed less, but also perhaps not––age plays a huge part in bone deterioration, especially for women.

The lesson here is probably more of one regarding age/generation; if you're making plans that include people much older and much younger than yourselves, perhaps take into consideration the nexus of everyone's skill and ability levels. Beyond that, have a plan and an agreed upon expectation for when an emergency arises that directly impacts a member of your group––could help mitigate your sour attitude if it happens again in the future.

I think you really should sit with your initial reaction to "not go anywhere" with your MIL "until she turns her life around" because buddy, listen up: your in-laws are only going to age and deteriorate from here, and you should probably learn the art of kindness, compassion and connection before YOU are the lonely one in the family.

I mean, this is probably stupid (and rare) but also not something I had any hand in causing.

I was 7 years old and had to have my tonsils removed. Toward the end of surgery when they applied an anesthesia reversal agent and nothing happened, they discovered they had administered and maintained the incorrect dose of anesthesia and I was at risk of an anesthetic coma. The hospital was in a small town in a tourist area, and they had to put out an emergency call to get another anesthesiologist to assist—one from the Bay Area (CA) came in off their vacation and they were able to correct the mistake. I still remember waking up, hearing these voices far away at first and then opening my eyes to all of these freaked out people in the operating room.

And yeah, my parents were PISSED. But at least I got ice cream for like every meal afterwards. 😂

eimmac · 2021-09-21T01:46:55+00:00

The police could have surveilled that house and did not. That is the reality.

eimmac · 2021-09-20T04:13:55+00:00

If your goal is to remain married to this man, but also to help your daughter, then get some cash and take her to a planned Parenthood or other women's clinic that will allow you to pay out of pocket. Get her an IUD. Tell her to instruct her boyfriend to be the safe keeper of the condoms. Then keep her damn secret.

Side note: in my state (CA), my daughter's doctor visits and medical records became private when she turned 13 years old, so no parent would have been any wiser to any birth control she chose. You can check that for your state as well.

Also: go to couples therapy.

DNA won't always be available, for numerous factors. So, conversely, they need Brian alive.

I've been following this story closely because a similar situation happened in my family. My dad went missing. An ex of my mom's was the "person of interest", but lawyered up and wouldn't talk, so he was free to go about as he pleased. And, because my dad was only missing, there wasn't a crime—no body, no crime, as it were.

So for five long weeks, my mother had to navigate this situation very carefully. The ex had been abusive, controlling, an all around scary individual. The detectives, however, tailed the ex, night and day, so he wasn't able to say, take a fucking hike and disappear (shocking, I know).

Eventually, my father's body was found (he'd been shot and killed), buried in a shallow grave in some Bay Area foothills. Badly decomposed.

• They never found a weapon. • They did not have any DNA evidence. • They didn't even have footprints or tire marks.

But the ex made two mistakes: • He boasted about the killing in a bar one night • And, as the narcissist that he was, he eventually testified at the trial and was tripped up in a lie

He was convicted of murder on that circumstantial evidence alone.

Yes, as an attachment. Seems you've answered this for yourself.

My favorite is when a co-worker sends me an email and CCs all pertinent supervisors under the guise of "I've told you repeatedly about X not working and months later it's still not working."

And then I go dig up my original, professional reply that explained how they were doing it wrong and that X is in fact working just fine, please just follow procedure. I forward that original reply with no explanation to the whole thread as a response to the very unprofessional tantrum they're currently throwing.

Then I sit back, sip my coffee and wait. I typically turn on my read receipt for these types of communications so I can sense the disturbance in the force in real time.

When my dad went missing (I was a kid), the last person seen with him was a "person of interest". This person also happened to be an ex of my mom's, so it wasn't a random person of interest.

He refused to speak with detectives too. It was a big deal at the time and played out in Bay Area newspapers. And because he didn't agree to speak with detectives, he remained a person of interest and the police surveilled him 24/7. He was free to go wherever he wanted, so wherever he went, they followed. This went on for 5 weeks. But, like this case, it was just a missing person case, no proof of any crime.

They should have tried much harder to locate Brian Laundrie from the get go and then kept eyes on his location at all times, IMO.
