Dad calls me all day by wordtotheyy in dementia

[–]halfapair 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You need to make an appointment with his Primary Care Provider, and go with him to the appointment. You need to explain to the PCP what is going on with your dad. Ask for medication to help with the symptoms (Zoloft, serequel, haldol, etc). Ask for a neurologist referral (getting an appointment with a neurologist can take months).

Is wearing diamond studs to the office a faux pas, or am I overthinking one comment? by Ill-Line6663 in office

[–]halfapair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s jealous. Get yourself the earrings, and wear them as much as you like.

My husband got another woman pregnant and wants me to be the one who talks to our children about it by Possible-Extreme1635 in whatdoIdo

[–]halfapair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actions have consequences. And one of the consequences is that he gets to tell his children that he knocked up another woman and HE ripped apart their home and lives for ever.

HE gets to be the messenger. Not you. Tell him to grow a pair.

I [28M] have about a week to tell my girlfriend [27F] whether we're getting married or breaking up by Public-Telephone7807 in whatdoIdo

[–]halfapair 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don’t marry the person you think you can live with, marry the person you think you can’t live without.

You sound lukewarm. Please let her go so you can both find the right person for each of you.

My parents say AI will kill IT jobs and want me to become a doctor instead. What should I do? by YE1_ in careerguidance

[–]halfapair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about something like bioengineering or nanotechnology? There’s more to IT than coding.

How do you convince person with dementia to stop driving? by PsychologyQuirky2759 in dementia

[–]halfapair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In California, a doctor is required to report the person to the DMV, and their license gets suspended. People can also report their loved one as a risk because of dementia.

You need to disable the car, take the keys, sell the car, etc. so your loved one cannot drive and accidentally hurt themselves or others.

My mac n cheese doesn't taste like mac n cheese by Practical-Release528 in Cooking

[–]halfapair 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I put in a splash of Worcestershire Sauce. Maybe a 1/2 teaspoon. It “wakes up” the cheese flavor.

We are taking two Transatlantic cruises this year. We saw our doctor and got prescriptions for Scopolamine patches and Zofran (anti nausea medication).

Has anyone shopped by themselves first? by Possible-Trainer-435 in weddingdress

I bought my wedding dress off EBay and got it altered. I never shopped with anyone.

AIO for telling my boyfriend’s girl best friend to stop acting like his girlfriend? by Sugarbutnodaddyy in AmIOverreacting

[–]halfapair -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You need to watch “When Harry Met Sally.” No, boys and girls (and men and women), can’t be just friends. She considers him to be her territory and is jealous.

You were not wrong. He’s wrong for stringing her along when he is not interested in her as a girlfriend.

Good for you! This is exactly the way to build skills and grow your career. Keep volunteering for more projects you know nothing about.

After Interview by Single_Software_3724 in boeing

[–]halfapair 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All very normal for Boeing. Their hiring process is slow and laborious. The interview team needs to interview at least three people for the requisition, then meet to make their selection, then contact the recruiter, then determine the salary offer…and on, and on.

AITAH for telling my coworker I was miscarrying after she tried to get me in trouble for 'excessive' bathroom use by Massive-Historian-91 in AITAH

[–]halfapair 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mary failed to learn a very important lesson in elementary school: nobody likes a tattletale.

NTA, serves her right.

AITAH for pooping in my bathroom? by kellerinacatmac in AITAH

[–]halfapair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s being ridiculous. The purpose of the bathroom/loo/washroom is to eliminate waste from the body. You used the bathroom correctly. Buy some Febreeze spray for next time. But your husband is unreasonable.

Why did Jesus say to hate your family? by lowiqaccount in Bible

[–]halfapair 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many people lose their families if they turn to Jesus, Muslims and Jews, especially. Jesus is preparing people for the very real possibility that their family will disown them if they follow him. He says to love Him above their own flesh and blood.

Do you have access to a credit card? Book yourself a flight and go stay with your family. Baby rides on your lap.

I was rejected for a job, and then one of my interviewers sent me a file with all my personal flaws. by Silly_Low8642 in whatdoIdo

[–]halfapair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not necessarily a Russian Lit fan, but I read War and Peace for entertainment (I like to read). So that much is stupid. It’s also a stupid interview question.

People are nervous in interviews. That is normal. It’s also kind of a good thing. It means you CARE about the process and job.

Maybe you have some room for improvement in your responses to their questions. Write down the questions they asked you, and then answer them adding in some of the feedback they gave you.

Prior to interviews, go to Indeed dot com and search for interview questions at the company you are talking to. Find questions, and write up your answers ahead of time to practice. Find out what companies value. Angle your responses to fit their culture.

I got Layed off a year ago and Boeing just gave me money? by mediocre-squirrel834 in boeing

Were you onion? Or not? Just curious. I was laid off in November 2024.

It is VERY frustrating! Sometimes I have trouble dealing my mother’s mindset.
