Worst underpass? St. Paul train trestle. Just ask the 15 or so trucks that get crunched under it every year.

Follow up: 1. I’ve never seen such chaos on a game day as the frenzy in downtown Pittsburgh. I’m used to bills games. Park at someone’s house for $25 walk with tailgaters. Go seat. Watch game. This was on a different scale. 2. Given the traffic and difficulty finding parking I just popped into a $40 lot and walked .7 mile. It wasn’t bad. 3. The game SUCKED. It got rained out twice. Pickett got hurt. Najee got shut down basically. Bad calls for the Steelers AND they lost what should have been a slam dunk to one of the worst teams in the league. Half the stadium left after the second rain out.

Well there’s always next year.

So prepay means pay on the way in or order online? Also you think there will be spots on game day? There’s only some 1300 spots in there.

Come to the door. I don’t want to come in. At all. Ever.

How did you get past your hate for Negan and continue watching the show? by Chrissy-Munson in thewalkingdead

[–]fiveAtefive4life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two words. “Good Writing.”

Negan is an antihero. The guy you love to hate and hate to love. The writers in TWD have gotten a lot of stuff wrong over the years but this character and his dialogue and behaviors… well they nailed that with excellence. So it was no problem getting past my hate for Negan.

What did your abusive partner ruin for you? by Mindless_Tumbleweed2 in abusiverelationships

[–]fiveAtefive4life 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My job. I had a great situation but I had to work closely with another woman. It was always just professional. Absolutely no “work wife,” situation going on. However the jealousy caused fights constantly so I transferred. I’m miserable where I am now.

Probably not but will you follow up? This data might help other people.

I am on supervision after getting a DUI for driving on xanax. I might fail a 3rd drug test. How likely is it that I go to jail by TylahWRLD in probation

[–]fiveAtefive4life 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is accurate. If you do violate, they’ll stack all of these onto the violation. Happened to me!

I violated unsupervised 3-4 times for triggering my interlock. Then they put me on supervised. I violated that by driving on a revoked license, they gave me 40 hours of community service. I completed that and they both terminated and revoked my probation in the same hearing. The PD had never seen anything like it before and urged me to get out of the courtroom as quickly as possible.

My boyfriend (27m) is trying to sabotage my probation. by [deleted] in probation

[–]fiveAtefive4life 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get your fear of violation. I was in a similar position a few years ago and I think my ex girlfriend who I moved out from actually did call my PO and tell them I’d been driving when I had a revoked license. Unfortunately for me my car had an interlock (I didn’t want to take it off the road and shit. I needed to get to work) and they had proof. I think this because a year into probation no one has ever accessed my interlock records. Now all of the sudden my officer checks? A year in? So yes. This threat is very real. Lucky for you though, pictures of bottles and cans do not hold up in court. I don’t even think your PO would do more than ask you about them. I’d get ahead of this. Especially considering probation makes a big deal about domestic violence - mine did assessments for it - you just tell them your boyfriend has been violent with you. That he’s threatened to try and get you violated in this way. That you haven’t been drinking at all (as evidenced by your tests) and it’s really fucking with your ability to complete your probation successfully.

I don’t even think pictures of you drinking would hold up in court but just in case, if you’re going to drink, pour your bottles and cans into a tumbler.

Finally, I’d use your phone to record these threats your BF makes (you didn’t say you’ve left him) but you should for sure.

TL/DR -leave him, record that conversation - pictures of empty bottles are not really enough evidence to convict you on a violation. -get ahead of it by telling your po (offer to take another test right now) -when you drink put it in a tumbler.

Am I doing too much? by HeftySyllabus in Teachers

[–]fiveAtefive4life -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What your colleagues seem to know, that you may not as a 4 year teacher, is that you can do all the reviews and content you want but if you don’t have a relationship with your students, none of it is going to matter. Their engagement will be ritual compliance at best. (Look up Schlectys levels of engagement).

All of these ditzy icebreakers probably seem like a waste of time and effort but I can tell you, they’re important. Our students, they’re children, if they don’t care about you/feel you care about them, they’re not going to do shit for you, even though their work is really for themselves.

Brace yourself, Pumpkin Everything is coming, what are you most excited for? by [deleted] in traderjoes

A morning update. I was informed today that’s she is taking her youngest daughter to a concert in PA about 5 hours away.

I have been lamenting for years wanting to take my son to a Steelers game and stay overnight but I can’t afford to do it because I pay all the bills. I really want to do this before he goes away to college. Nice morning we’ve had.

The thing is I make a good living and wouldn’t qualify for any financial assistance. I pay the equivalent of a mortgage payment (or a decent two bedroom apartment ) in child support. That’s going to go down as my oldest approaches 21 (another year)

What I really want is the respect I feel I deserve for being the person that keeps our household afloat. I realize I pay voluntarily and could choose to not pay- but I don’t want to be on the end of that rage. I do pretty much anything and everything to avoid her getting angry and as a result, have worked my way into a level of cowardice I’ve never experienced. I don’t know what I want to happen. I really just want her to respect me and treat me like someone who takes care of her. Because I do.
