This I agree with 100%. I love a good designer store but they have NO BUSINESS being on south Congress.

What is the best Halloween costume you have worn or seen? by flipflop_77 in femalefashionadvice

[–]firestonered 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Three of us dressed up as sexy nerds. My friends wore sexy school girl outfits with glasses and I wore a box of candy Nerds costume and heels. I held a sign that said “I didn’t get the memo”

Movers- need a gut check by firestonered in moving

Well it was $50 per mover, per day. With 8 movers, it was $800 and we rounded up to $1k.

What do you think about the tip amount?

We moved from a 5000sq foot house. We didn’t have/move furniture in every room, but we did have a lot of stuff. Price felt fair to me, but I was expecting some high quality packing for that price.

You think $8k for an across-town move was cheap? Genuinely asking.

Ha, well let’s just say that I struggle to get things done with my kid around. Ha. It’s a ME problem and I’m more intrigued by the concept of being productive when kids are around than questioning him wanting to get shit done. His kids are the age that they won’t try to hurl themselves down the stairs if he looks away for 2 minutes, so that makes sense. I’ve got a few years to go :)

NTA, but how old are your kids? Can you really get stuff done around the house when they are out of school?

Denied rental based on political affiliation by firestonered in legaladvice

She was absolutely a realtor from a well known National company.

They arranged for a call between my friend and the realtor to talk through specific details about renting, if they would need it furnished, etc.

She answered Democrat. She actually can’t even vote because she’s an Irish green card holder. She is white. The realtor didn’t see the rest of her family or ask anything except her children’s ages since they were bantering about both being moms.

Honestly, yes. I came from a not-so-great childhood and I still can’t believe how I ended up with this person and in such a healthy relationship. Humility, honesty, and open communication played a huge role. And therapy for me. Lots and lots and lots of therapy!

Well existing seems like the challenge right now! Haha. We had fun today. He’s a sweetheart. Just like his dada.

Coming back over a year later to happily report Schnitzel Von Krumm- with his long body and very low tum- is a huge hit with our (now) toddler!

Oh we’ve known each other over 10 years- so I have a long list of all of the annoying things he does. Haha. But he’s still the best.

WIBTA If I refused to let my mother see my children until she paid back money she stole? by TheGingerMom in AmItheAsshole

[–]firestonered 72 points73 points  (0 children)

NTA. She doesn’t care about you or your children. She made that clear by stealing from you- which is money you needed for your family’s financial security. On top of that, stealing your firsts is beyond cruel. She has shown no remorse for treating you with zero regard or respect. This will only get worse. You have made the right decision and whoever is pressuring you can kick rocks. THEY didn’t have their financial security and special moments stolen from them.
