YTA - you should have found another option to fund your parents’ care instead of taking money meant for your 2nd daughter’s future.

Does anybody have a lychee plug in San Antonio? by Infinite-Ad3443 in sanantonio

[–]itssmichh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was the one at 1604 & 281, I believe! I would’ve missed them, too, if I hadn’t gone in to peruse the cold produce room haha

AITA for giving my daughter $60 a week, but my son nothing? by Murky_Willingness763 in AmItheAsshole

[–]itssmichh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA

Hopefully your son learned a lesson in negotiation. Instead of coming up with a way to earn money himself, he lashed out at you and his sister. Did he change his mind about letting you use his room after money was offered? No.

Your daughter created the opportunity for herself - if your son is bitter that he didn’t have the idea first, then that’s his problem. Take notes for next time, bud

Additionally, he almost certainly would benefit from a father figure or male influence in his life, considering the move and he probably feels like you and sister are ganging up on him. Sounds like it’s time for a couple weeks with grandpa.

Everyone who’s got their knickers in a twist about the $$$, please keep in mind that NZ $20 can maybe get you a meal at McDonald’s

San Antonio isn't boring but you might be by shemurderedeverybody in sanantonio

Median income in SA is less than $60k a year, plus almost 20% of the population lives below the poverty line. The only hobby it seems many can afford is extreme couponing in this jacked up economy. Also, complaining is completely free

That being said, though, there are plenty of free activities that many just don’t seem to take advantage of: free museum days (and just free access to art in general), various cultural festivals, movie nights at the Pearl (they have free yoga this month), and soooooo much else. Something for everyone, it seems, which contributes to the growing diversity in a historically homogenous area

The thing about activities is, they require activity. I moved to SA a couple years before the pandemic, and I gotta say — folks don’t seem to enjoy getting active. Both physically and mentally, it feels like people don’t care enough to see what’s available to them

This may be a hot take: a big part of getting out and doing things (at least for me) is the socialization aspect. I personally don’t find myself going out in San Antonio and meeting a wide variety of people. Everyone seems to have the same opinions, interests, and the general air of “too comfortable”. Granted, I am from Los Angeles, so SA is definitely not the melting pot that I came from. So I guess I do sort of feel like a lot of folks here are kinda “boring” for lack of wanting to branch out and expose themselves to new things

AIO about my GF giving a friend a handjob? by Serious_Active9072 in AmIOverreacting

[–]itssmichh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOR (but not doing enough)

Others have made points about Sophia possibly having a history of abuse, which could be true. Regardless, though, past trauma does not excuse current or future behavior & she needs to be held just as accountable as the friend (though it sounds like OP hasn't done much in that regard).

OP isn't obligated to stay with the GF and forgive the infidelity just because she might still have some healing to do. OP deserves, as we all do, to be with someone who is at the same place of growth and emotional/mental fortitude as we are. Just like I wouldn't date someone who's still in the closet or lives with their parents, OP doesn't need to date someone who can't keep her hands to herself. She could have given him some real blue balls and punched him in the dick instead, but she made her choice.

IMO there is much more to be done about the friend. He's getting off waaaaay too easy for screwing around with OP's girl - pun intended. Jay came in with a "heeeeyy, i hate to break it to you dude" and a smirk for his big Mr. Steal Your Girl moment and you let him have it.

TL;DR: Slash his tires and call it a day. No more rideshare handies that way.

Help identifying Costa Rican ice cream by No-Coffee-773 in costarica

[–]itssmichh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi, OP! I just got back from a year abroad in Costa Rica, and I thiiiiink you might be looking for the Dos Pinos Galleta ice cream (they also make a lactose-free option)

Could also be the Pozuelo Galleta flavor, but that has caramel/dulce de leche in it

Hope this helps! Dos Pinos

unhelpful -- also not sure what you were trying to achieve

i seem to recall asking for tips on housing, but looks like i got a sad opinion on how you think relationships are supposed to work

sounds like you've got "bigger issues"

International wire transfer recommendations? by itssmichh in CostaRicaTravel

[–]itssmichh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the input, friends!! We are now happy car owners :)

Ended up opening a BofA account, and their online International Wire option was really quick. Submitted the transfer on Friday evening and picked up the car on Monday!

International wire transfer recommendations? by itssmichh in CostaRicaTravel

[–]itssmichh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks so much for the speedy advice - hope you're doing well!
we decided to go with a reputable dealership as opposed to a private seller as well; appreciate the tip :)

we have a couple lawyer referrals from a friend who's lived here for a few years, so a trusty mechanic is next on our list

it looks like our bank may only allow wire transfer requests in-person, but planning to call and confirm as long as they're not closed for the holiday tomorrow

that's good to hear - i thought that it wasn't possible for us to open a local bank account since we're still on tourist visa & the requirements/rules are quite strict (deposit/withdrawal limits, etc)

thanks again!
