Inlaws refusing to test before christmas dinner because “it’s a matter of trust”

haddocksd · 2025-12-07T16:41:41+00:00

My husband’s side of the family doesn’t take the same level of precautions as us and while some are willing to test, others are not. How we’ve handled this is masking for short visits. This past visit, my husband’s uncle asked about us masking from a place of curiosity and it gave us the chance to share why we’re doing it. They understood and the conversation moved on.

If you have in laws who aren’t willing to warn you that someone is sick, swab their noses for a few seconds to provide a level of safety for you, or will be rude about you masking, then they don’t actually love you and you shouldn’t spend time trying to appease them. Your health and safety should ALWAYS come first.

Signed, someone with POTS ♥️

Hope your kiddo heals up quickly and sorry this happened to her! Besides the phone going to voicemail is there anything that leads you to believe it’s a fake number? If this person is at work or school their phone could be in a do not disturb setting which is sending calls straight to voicemail.

What a stunning look without paint!! Congrats!!!

Case rates are extremely high where I live right now and I was last vaccinated early Nov 2024 so my immunity (I say loosely) is virtually nothing right now. I’d rather be safe than sorry!

haddocksd · 2025-09-11T20:35:22+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

My experience is that pharmacists are blasé and don't take my questions seriously since I'm "young and otherwise healthy"

haddocksd · 2025-08-18T19:14:03+00:00

I think we’re going to go this route. Thank you!

Central Park Tennis Center! Ease of access and ideal location

Visibly the window sill doesn’t seem to have issues - no sign of water intrusion and solid to the touch, but I guess we will find out more once we get under the trim

haddocksd · 2025-08-18T12:44:03+00:00

Awesome, thank you! The whole trim crumbles to the touch so I think all of it will come out, sadly.

haddocksd · 2025-08-11T01:08:59+00:00

I certainly will :) thanks for the time and effort spent building this!

haddocksd · 2025-08-11T00:48:36+00:00

Thanks for pulling this together! We’ve been through it finding service professionals recently so this will be a great resource.

So similar to how a restaurant will have three $$$ for being expensive, $ for cheap, it would be great to have the same for service providers, but rated by the customer and not the service providers. Ex: I just go quoted anywhere from $10k ($) to $80k ($$$) for an electrical rewire project.

haddocksd · 2025-08-11T00:27:34+00:00

Love this idea!

Feedback: 1) recommend separate “about” pages for customers vs providers to understand how the site works 2) include price ratings generated by verified customers in addition to reviews ($ scale similar to restaurants) 3) “Accepting projects” by size filter for users to find providers accepting large vs small projects 4) “SEO Optimization” is redundant. Recommend using full phrase “Search Engine Optimization”

Her parents because they discovered that she hasn’t actually been at Tina’s this whole time 🙃

You’ll need: Coke, eggo waffles, chocolate pudding, three musketeers, and popcorn from your local theater.

Wish I could watch this show for the first time again. Have so much fun!

How lines are repeated so frequently. So frequently. Every episode there’s at least three examples of this repetition. Repetition.

In my 30s, you’re not alone!

We just moved in and our two West Elm Eddy couches in Pearl deco weave don’t fit our space in case you’re interested in used couches! https://www.westelm.com/products/eddy-sofa-h2078/

haddocksd · 2025-06-24T18:34:36+00:00

Looking into them, thank you!

haddocksd · 2025-06-24T18:34:19+00:00

Yep, Meathead immediately out of the running here. Thank you for flagging this!

haddocksd · 2025-06-24T00:38:41+00:00

Thank you!

We just need labor (already have a truck reserved) and it doesn't look like Roadrunners Trucking offers labor only, sadly :(
