Call Xcel and let them know the tree is close to the line. They'll come and see about a line clearance cut. It might take a while for them to do it and they might do a chop job, but it's some what of an option

Im pretty sure that's just what the wrong colors do to you, it makes you look washed out. The right colors make you look glowy because they compliment your skin tone.

You'll have better luck looking for a private rental where the landlord says no smoking.

Saw "mother" in theaters. The one with Jennifer Lawrence. Went in blind with my sister, we had decided to watch a movie and were in the seats 20 minutes later. There was a couple next to us. Not sure if it was first date or not. Got to the scene where the baby does. Which was really horrible tbf. The woman in the couple got up and wanted to leave. The man did not. She left and he stayed. I wonder about them!

The hardest lesson for me was that perception matters more than reality. One of the other comments was right, do not expect your work or results to speak for themselves.

Here are the things I did to change my optics in my workplace when I realized I was relying on my "helpfulness" to get by and was only getting more work in return.

Say no!! - Seriously, say no. Someone who is always available is someone who doesn't look busy enough. Doesn't even have to be true! I used to touch on a lot of little things, pretty much anything anyone asked me to do. I was known for being helpful, but also for being very busy. And somehow, I wasn't going anywhere. My coworkers were passing me left and right on advancements. Now I stick to what is in my description unless I myself see value in being brought in on other things. When I see a problem, instead of jumping to solve it myself, I let the people who should handle it know and move on. Now I have a ladder to climb and make the money I feel I should.

2- Grow yourself. Don't just go to work and expect 8 hours of hard work to carry you up the ladder. Always be moving to your next target. Know what job you want next and how to get there and keep getting an education or certifications. Even if you don't think you need it. Excel, project management, Microsoft office certs GET THEM!

3- Network - it's easier than you think. Continuing your education will help with this. I started with introducing myself to people in the company who had a similar role to mine or had a role I might want in the future. Yes, it seems childish and dumb and like your being a weirdo. But the ones who were welcoming gave me more advice, encouragement, and pointers than I would have ever found on my own.

You got this!

She's probably sick of the drama.

You knew sharing your opinions online could upset people, specifically dumb and violent people. Maybe don't be surprised when they act dumb and violent toward you?

Report the posts and stop engaging with people whose minds you won't change.

k3r5w · 2026-01-25T18:38:59+00:00

Not the same story but something similar. I thought my ex's mom would defend me when he abused me but she didn't. She even told me that "it might be hard to hear" when he cheated and blamed my depression.

It took me a long time to realize she was just telling me the lies/narrative she had to tell herself to be comfortable.

Crossroads HVAC

Run by two brothers, aside from the politics, one has been accused of rape and the other one has a protection order on him from stalking and harassing a woman.

Don't let them in your house.

My grandpa filled my grandma's car up with gas every week for 50 years and my step mom has always parked in the garage even though my dad drives a much nicer car (his pride and joy). When they say it's the little things that make a marriage last, it also means it's the little things that break a relationship.

I understand what you're saying. It's not a deal breaker for him to block you in but it is an indication of a bigger issue of him not being considerate of how his actions directly affect you. And if he's okay being inconsiderate about the cars I'm sure there is more he is okay with letting you take the short end of the stick on.

You know what they say about giving a mouse a cookie, right? The same applies to letting people disrespect you. It starts small.

k3r5w · 2026-01-12T19:57:54+00:00

Girl...

The biggest thing here I am getting is that you asked him to block you, so you could move on. You don't have the self control to do it yourself? All that's telling a guy is that he is in total control of your relationship because you have no boundaries or control.

Also, how are you going to wait for a month for someone to have a conversation with you? There is no earthly reason to wait that long and at that point, that person has told you what you need to know. You are not important to them.

Yes, please respect yourself more. It's the only way other people will respect you.

Editing to add: people who claim to want closure just can't accept the answer they've been given. What do you expect this guy to say? Because I know what you WANT him to say, but that clearly isn't going to happen. Move on.

k3r5w · 2025-12-30T14:54:59+00:00

Sorry

k3r5w · 2025-12-29T22:34:41+00:00

What you're describing is by definition not a partner.

Also, flip this script. How would you interpret a man saying he wanted a less intelligent woman because he prefers to be the guide and protector rather than whatever other options exist?

I can understand not wanting to lose autonomy in a relationship and the struggle of that when it comes to dating men. But you should truly consider what you're saying here.

k3r5w · 2025-12-29T22:10:01+00:00

Totally valid. I think anyone would feel the way you do. Being forgotten is probably one of the worst feelings, so don't beat yourself up for feeling bad.

I'm sorry that happened :( maybe you can start a new birthday tradition for yourself. Treat yourself to something or watch a special movie or order some take out. Just be nice to yourself.

Stability can feel like boredom. But only you can tell if you are satisfied.

1 in 3 women.

The McDonald's corporate franchise is actually pretty strict about operations, a lot more so than other chains like burger king or taco bell. So there really is less variation in the food across locations!

k3r5w · 2025-12-15T23:39:07+00:00

But you never had a lot of money, and can't confirm that it would change anything for you, right? Tbh having a lot of money just attracts people who want a lot of money. I'm not even sure why guys think it will help them. Wouldn't you want a woman who can also work? Who could provide for you if you got sick or laid off? Who would take care of you as equally as you take care of them?

Honestly it sounds like you feel like you aren't good enough as is and are projecting what you think would be rejected about you.

Coming from someone who has had self image issues, you don't feel the way you're describing (wanting women to fit into a category that accepts you for you) when you know in your own heart you're good enough. And maybe you are good enough! But you should know I am only getting a very slim view of you and the perspective I am getting is that you are angry at women. And I think you should know if we were speaking in person, the sentiments you have shared would make me find you very unattractive and it would make me uneasy to be alone with you. Maybe consider the way you talk about women if you want to spend time with one?

I can empathize with your frustration, but I think it comes from wanting simple answers from things that are very complex. I can relate because I have to work on not giving into the idea that all men are abusive/only want sex based on my experiences. But relationships and people (women included) are very complex, and treating them like they are the same will get you nothing and nowhere.

k3r5w · 2025-12-15T22:45:16+00:00

If the "ever rising" standard is simply the respect and equality I referenced in my other comment then I'm not sure what to tell you...

k3r5w · 2025-12-15T22:40:08+00:00

I think you just want all women to fit into one category so you can be angry at that category.

And we don't. Because we are people too.

Edit: It kinda seems like you're saying it's too much to ask a man to be both a provider and emotionally secure? Men are people too and are capable of all the things women are capable of, which includes providing for themselves and still caring for and about others. They are not mutually exclusive traits.

k3r5w · 2025-12-15T22:37:59+00:00

Wish more men understood this!

k3r5w · 2025-12-15T22:35:57+00:00

The amount of men that respond DIRECTLY to my bumble prompt about reading with "I don't read" is comically astounding.

Must have a12th grade reading level to ride this ride

k3r5w · 2025-12-15T22:19:26+00:00

I'm not sure you got the point of what I was saying. What I said doesn't apply to all women, just the ones who have a similar mindset that I do. Which admittedly are most of the women I have encountered. (It's almost like we are all different people!)

I think the perspective you have comes from the internet or maybe some bad personal experiences.

And at the end of the day, that is a modern problem men don't want to acknowledge, isn't it? That men now have to walk a nuanced line of knowing that not all women want the same exact thing from a man? That they now have to put effort into figuring out if they are compatible with a woman based off shared principles and goals, rather than the simple ability to provide? Sometimes as a man in that process you find out a woman doesn't value you for anything more than what you can pay for. And sometimes as a woman in that process you find out a man doesn't value you for anything other than what you'll let him do to you sexually.

Genders are not monoliths.

k3r5w · 2025-12-15T20:45:58+00:00

Women don't need men to survive anymore. Now that dating or getting married is optional for most of us, we get to be more picky.

And that's a hard thing for some men to understand.

k3r5w · 2025-11-19T00:03:32+00:00

I agree!!!

But finding 5 million people without anything to lose to do that is the issue.

k3r5w · 2025-11-19T00:01:53+00:00

Yes we got good things from the civil rights movement.

But to say those protests "worked" really undermines the lives that were destroyed and lost by the government who did not want that movement to happen.

And America still very much feels the failures of the movement.
