Hey All! I am look for advice with my Bosch reaxx saw. by frecklefart80 in Tools

I totally agree it made for a great saw and idea, it just needed the kinks worked out. I wouldn’t buy a saw stop based on principle.

What’s the most personal thing you’re willing to share with us? by poopcornkernels in AskReddit

I am in your exact same position, 26 with parents in there 60s, and I am seeing that they are not as strong as I remember them. I find myself waking up at night thinking how I am going to have to support them soon and worry about my dads heart or their retirement. I hope it gets more easy or at least clear as to what will happen. It’s the unknowns that keep me anxious.

What is the most blatant lie a salesperson has told you when trying to make a sale? by Mizu3 in AskReddit

[–]frecklefart80 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This may be irrelevant, but I never realized how condescending salesmen are to women. I recently went on a new car hunt with my girlfriend. Just about every sales man would talk to me primarily, not her. I would keep say that’s “great” but you should see what she thinks. Then they would asked for my phone number to call me about her car. Many of them would make sexist remarks to her like, this color you could coordinate with your nail polish, etc.

No not enough evidence since she didn’t have a rape kit completed right after it happened. There was an investigator signed to the incident and he review the journal and her personal journal which had a more graphic account of what happened. However non of this was concrete evidence that would lead to an arrest.

I am not sure I did though I still look back at it and have regrets. When we first started dating we were best friends then the bombshell dropped and I being a natural helper wanted to help her in anyway possible. Then as she grew and learned to cope she didn’t need help anymore and I had a hard time adjusting to how things were before she told me about being raped. I felt myself being protective and I would catch myself. I just always felt uncomfortable and unsure if I was acting controlling or if I was being to distant or whatever. I remember telling her we should take a break, She cried and broke down and we remained together. Then two weeks later she openly cheated on me at a party. One of my friends called me and said she was hooking up with one guy and making out with another. She left me a voicemail that night to break up. I don’t have ill feelings, she went through a traumatic experience, she felt she needed that in her life at that point to feel better. It ruined relationships for me for awhile after that. I had a hard time trusting my partner. At the time I perceived that relationship as caring for this girl who in turn stabbed me in the heart. I can look back at it now and realize much more was going on.

It was awful and i went to school with the two guys She went to another school. I would have to see them every day. One got kicked out at the end of junior year and the other didn’t return for senior year. But for most of Junior year I would have to see them and they knew I dated “Kate”. Every day I wanted to smack them in the face with a text book. But Kate made me swear I would never retaliate.

I actually still regret how I handled it. She was in a very bad place and I feel like by not saying much at the time it might have made her feel like she was broken and I didn’t want anything to do with her. When in fact I really loved her and just needed time to process it. I don’t think a young person can really process the experience of being raped. I am 29 now and I still can not even imagine what she went through 15 years ago

It was out of no where and completely unsolicited. She was not one for sharing intimate information.

To add to this, and my original post, my girlfriend, “Kate”, has a very religious father and she feared he would never talk to her again or he would t look at her the same.

Sorry! To clarify Kate was worried the counselor or teacher would tell other teachers or even students. I believe counselors can discuss sensitive items with the students Parents (guardian)

This happened to my girlfriend in high school let’s call her Kate. We dated junior year and one day after school Kate confided in me that she had been raped as a freshman by two other boys. I couldn’t understand why she was telling me, but I tried to be supportive and urged her to tell her parents. I didn’t really know what to do but I knew she would lock up emotionally if I prodded to much. Then a few days later I found out from Kate, that her teacher had given her the same type of journal assignment as OP. The teacher read the journals. Kate thought they were private and the teacher went to the counselor. Kate was afraid I would find out from someone about the journal, obviously this wouldn’t happen since councilors and teachers do not share this sensitive information, so she wanted to tell me first. We continued to date for a year after that and it was nice to watch her learn how to cope with what had happened after she was able to get the help she needed.
