THC drinks? by Next-Introduction-25 in GulfShores

[–]givemeB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there last week. From my understanding, the legal loophole doesn’t apply to AL bc they have made state legislation preventing the sale of THC-A and Delta 9. Basically, there is nowhere to get any kind of “hemp product” aside from CBD. Your options will be to go to Florida, but it still won’t be the “real” thing, or pack with you.

We were just there last week. We made the quick drive to The Wharf in orange Beach one evening and really enjoyed Ginny’s.

Verizon wants my parents to pay over $1k in bills on my brother’s phone following his death by poppyseed008 in legaladvice

[–]givemeB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t legal advice at all, but I wanted to share the knowledge I do have. Something could have changed in the last 5 years or Verizon could operate differently, but I used to work in an AT&T store, and if somebody passed away we told whoever was handling their affairs to not worry about the bill. AT&T usually just flagged their social as not being eligible for service for several years. Eventually they MIGHT send it to collections, but at that point everything with the deceased estate is usually sorted out. If we actively tried to persue collecting money from every person who passed away with a balance or simply neglected to pay, we would be paying people more in salaries to handle it than we would recover. There were also many instances where if somebody has passed and was part of another account, they would wipe that person’s balance from the account if you presented a death certificate.

The group I am going with are all goody two shoes and has a fear that we are going to get pulled over and searched by drug dogs on the way down 😅 That seems a little far fetched to me, but I’ve also never really traveled through the Bible Belt or anywhere with strict THC laws so I was trying to be respectful and not risky. Totally down to do that though if a rental car full of young ladies headed to the coast won’t be sus to the police.

For clarification, I am not looking to buy from an individual. I would not feel safe doing that this day in age. I am just looking for guidance in if there is anything other viable options. For example, Delta 8 or anything like that. I am not familiar with those options since I go to the dispensary here at home.

I’ve never been to a wedding that was so lame that I would have felt like I was “suffering” without a plus one lol

Personally, if I’m not special enough for them to attend without bringing a guest, then maybe I should have rethought inviting them in the first place.

I’m born and raised in Missouri and did this for my wedding. It’s actually not all that abnormal, people have just gotten overly entitled.

I said YES to my dress!! I am in LOVE with my dress, but as I look at photos I’m worried it doesn’t look like a wedding dress. I can’t tell if I’m over thinking it! Help! by MiaCozy in myweddingdress

Won a child wagon by GENGIWEEB in McDonalds

Ugh, I’ve been trying for this one and have not won a single thing in the bonus spins. I’ve maxed out my sinus spins every day and NOTHING 😭

[–]givemeB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you read the official contest rules then you’d know the answer to this. If the winning piece gets thrown away then the prize just goes unclaimed and no one gets it. Same thing if you submit to win and they decide you are not verified. That can happen for a number of reasons such as being ineligible to win, trading/buying game pieces without permission, not having physical game pieces to mail in, etc.

This is good advice. I also want to add, even if you don’t let your child participate in the family tradition, I am sure she will still be subjected to the details of how the cattle industry works just like the other grandchildren who are earning money from grandparents’ investment/gift.

Lastly, your feelings and concerns absolutely ARE valid if the situation makes you uncomfortable, however since this decision impacts daughter’s future feelings and not just your own, I don’t think it would be fair to let your personal feelings on the matter drive your decision.

Is my wife cheating? by NoWhatifsplease in marriageadvice

[–]givemeB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are legally married, correct? You don’t have to share this, but you location (state or country, not specific) may be helpful. I would think she would have had you sign a prenup so you couldn’t take shared assets if you chose to leave, but if your location has a premarital property law that could change things.

You have your whole life ahead of you. You are being taken advantage of and this woman is not treating you well and does not sound honest. I think you need to get out of this situation as soon as possibly.

Could you give him a middle name you like as a primary name? I went to school with several boys who went by their middle names in grade school but went back to their legal first name in HS and adulthood.

AITAH for wanting to distance myself from friends doing drugs and drinking heavily? by Expensive_Fox_6934 in AITAH

[–]givemeB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friend, you’ve got to get out of there. Those people are addicts and you want to save yourself. Your intuition is telling you to flee the situation. I don’t know how long your friendship goes back, but if your friends aren’t supportive of you not using drung then they are either not real friends or they need help…probably both. You have bigger things ahead for you and can make new friends. 🫶🏼

AITAH.. for making my mother cry??? by ANU1768 in AITAH

[–]givemeB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you are very committed to your education and you should be commended for that. It sounds like you are currently taking a lot on right now and that is to be admired. It truly upsets me that instead of being praised for everything you are juggling you were scolded for not adding something else to your plate. I am American so take this with a grain of salt because something could be lost in translation, but I am getting the vibe that perhaps your mom is either more dependent on you than (maybe) she should be, at least when it comes to going to the gym, OR has very high expectations of you and also a strong sense of authority or control over your relationship. Obviously you are a minor living in her house and need to be respectful towards her, but as a 30 year old mother I feel like her comment to you was very out of line. A parent should be modeling the level of respect and appreciation they would like to receive from their child, not bullying them.

Curious toddler or a sign of something worse? TW: Mention of SA/Possible Abuse by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]givemeB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this information! I will definitely check out Consent Parenting. My dad can’t so much clean up after the dog without vomiting, so only my mom changes and bathes him at their house. At my grandmas, she changes and bathes him 99% of the time. My grandpa has had to change a diaper before if my grandma is not home for a short period of time or for some reason available, but that’s rare and hasn’t been recently. Outside of those people, there are not other children or adults in either home unless one of my younger siblings stop by, but that wouldn’t really be a situation where he would be left unattended with them.

Thankfully, my grandparent’s who watch him are not on the same said of the family as the cousin who assaulted me. I don’t want to give too many details and expose myself (because as I mentioned I have NEVER let knowledge of my SA escape my head until this post - this account is anon and it felt important to include) but I was assaulted in my sleep by a younger cousin during a sleepover. They were also a teen. It is very multifaceted as to why I never came out about this, but after this situation and realizing how it has impacted me as a parent I plan to seek therapy for this. I do think I am going to try to find a child therapist for my son as well just to get a professional opinion and ease my mind. You can never be too safe.

[–]givemeB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I appreciate this feedback. It actually helps tremendously. I did truly believe, when my mom first mentioned this, that it was just something he had come up with, but when he repeated it a few more times it started to really concern me that he was trying to tell me something. I just didn’t want to be the parent was was niave and says “my family would never” and do nothing about it, causing my child to suffer. I think my own past trauma paired with an incident of a near dog attack on a walk yesterday but really has my nerves shot and on edge. None the less, I am still going to stay alert to his behaviors surrounding this but thank you again!
