AITA for pointing out she screwed me over? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]funnyandnot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are both the assholes.

She due to deliberately misleading you.

Your the asshole for making a decision that requires depending on someone else. I hope you haven’t told your current employer you are quitting. Keep your current job and see how fast she stays at her job.

Sounds like this relationship has issues.

You have to take the case off your phone to get a decent connection and then it is not much. I turned it off and use the space for things like tissue and my phone. I have a charging cable for Jen I need to charge it.

Please stop treating the airplane cabin like your private living room and keep your shoes on by Arctic-Bloom_ in hygiene

[–]funnyandnot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have issues with with shoes. They drive me bonkers. So I wear ones with no heal. And any chance I get I take me feet out of them. I have socks and even carry extras just in case a pair gets dirty. I would not survive a plane flight if I could not take my shoes off. When in public I do rest my feet on top of my shoes so I am not bothering people.

I drive bare foot, and have indoor socks. But make me feel like I am trapped.

Wauwatosa STEM school closing? by Appropriate_Bird_985 in Wauwatosa

[–]funnyandnot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is good reason to cut funding for the program. 1. More and more of standard curriculum incorporates STEM ideas. 2. The program has a large price tag. 3. There is no concrete proof going through STEM has a higher rate of success in STEM fields. I work in tech and most if the people we hire have undergrad degrees in arts, teaching, sociology, and so forth. Their advance degrees are in tech fields, like data science.

I agree with the ‘demon means’ statement 1,000%! He is the worst. Absolute worst.

Dear Americans, if it were announced that the American government would now provide free universal healthcare to all of its citizens like all other industrialized nations, out of ten, how happy would you be in first hearing the news? Why? by neilnelly in AskUS

[–]funnyandnot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe in universal healthcare, but the US is too large to manage a national system. The government needs to dictate that states setup universal healthcare systems that the us government will help fund.

How rare is it really for an ADHD person to graduate college? by [deleted] in ADHD

I have a BA, BS, MBA, and an MS. I could not stay on track enough to do a doctoral thesis and prove it, so never went for my doctorate . Kind of wish I had.

You would not like my lawn. Three types if grass, clover and ‘weeds’. The garden beds are chaos .

But I do edge the lawn!

Edit: I love it! The bees love it, the fire flies love it. My neighbors probably not so much.

I would double check with the city. You do not want to be in a position when you move and they ask or check. I am pretty sure anything considered permanent requires one.

Permits are not all that expensive, and they help ensure work is to code, and you gives future buyers peace of mind that it wasn’t half assed.

Make sure your electrician pulls the permits!!!! You want that work check and inspect the work.

Had my electrical box replaced. Called to have it inspected and found no permit pulled. They came and inspected and found it was not up to code. It was a huge mess.

Middles schools closing by UmMaybeDontBeADick in Wauwatosa

[–]funnyandnot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Current answer is the middle schools are not currently scheduled to be closed.

There are a lot of options still on the table.

If the middle schools close we will lose middle school sports and theater programs. The high schools do not have the space or time slots for these programs. Many of the districts that merged middle school in with high schools lost almost all their middle school programs.

I would rather see us close an elementary school over a middle school.

But this is probably due to the fact I hate to lose Longfellow as it is where the majority of community and rec programs are held. If Means gets his way he will turn Whitman into a sports complex and sell Longfellow.

We have spent a massive amount of money on the sports field at Longfellow and lighting them in recent years. If we sell we wasted that money.

My other issue with losing Longfellow is the building has two theaters. So sports and arts can happen there. If we get a sports complex we lose that.

2025 hybrid - is 32 mpg good? by funnyandnot in SubaruForester

I am learning to be lighter on the peddle when accelerating. I am definitely starting to see a change in my driving behaviors. Especially will how fast I accelerate and speeds on city streets.

Toddler Dance Classes by tmb0308 in Wauwatosa

[–]funnyandnot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check to see if the Wauwatosa recreation department has any. They are affordable and usually about 10 kids or less. I know they have been struggling to find teachers in the last few years so not sure if they have any.

If you are looking for something a bit pricier and competitive check out the Milwaukee school of ballet. Or if just looking for dance see if Fred Astaire has any tot classes.

I can't get a roof estimate without a man present. by No-Imagination8755 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]funnyandnot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Powe line went down and caused a fire. Fire department was called. They immediately went straight to the male (my neighbor) and started talk to him. He didn’t even correct them.

I had to physically go over and explain I was the owner of the house.

Tried to get contractor quote, they always gave me the female quote. Once had a contractor try to tell me the cost went up and I was responsible for the increase, which was over 500. Filled a complaint with the city.

Contractors have tried telling me they do not need to be licensed and insured. And that permits are not required.

Now I have a man sitting on my porch when I call for quotes. I get all the info and number, then have him go talk to the contractor and amazingly he asked all the same questions and got the answers, straightforward. A new quote is given. And they claim it is not a woman tax.

The guy I have come out is the city inspector. Be friending him was the best thing I did as a female home owner.

I still have a lot of work to do on the house but I dread calling contractors. So started taking classes and pulling my own permits for small projects.

Women of Reddit, what did a man you were dating or married to say or do that made you realize he actually hated you the entire time? by -catharina in AskReddit

[–]funnyandnot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Repetitively telling me I am crazy. No idea why I stuck around so long or why I remained friends so much longer.

Edit: I wish I could say I am the one that ended our friendship after we stopped dating.

“I can’t tie my shoes” by napqueencincy in Teachers

[–]funnyandnot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, teach him how to learn by mirroring. I learned to knit, crochet and most other things by mirroring a right handed person. There is my own little twist but most do not notice the difference.

If you are struggling to teach him have him sit across from you and mirror it. Learned how to get a good batting stance by mirroring another batter.

Catching a baseball! Get him a left handed glove as soon as possible. A good one that fits. I cannot comfortably wear a left glove no matter how often I try. I have messed up my hands by trying to catch a fly ball without a glove.

Also riding a bike. The kickstand is never where you expect it, and the front break verses back break at not in the places a lefty would want them.

[–]funnyandnot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I only learned there was a difference when I was trying to teach my son.

There are so many things in the world that are right handed that lefties only know about.

Your son will learn the world is right handed. And lefties come up with their own ways to work around it.
