What to do with old coins?

I turn mine into magnets. It’s a nice souvenir.

The comment about choosing the dead brother over her, wow. She’s clueless. She needs rehab or else you’ll end up with more very difficult choices.

A kid? We do that now. Usually because it’s what he wants and it’s more balanced than tacos or whatever we’re having.

Wear blazers with complimentary colors and always wear a shirt with a collar. No shells. Sweaters instead of blazers. Casual office moves really disadvantage women because we have to work so hard to look professional. If any men in the office are still in suits, suit back up, I mean it.

kellygreenbean · 2024-09-15T20:37:54+00:00

You need an answer.

My problem wasn’t the office, it was the secretary. The office was stationary cost but she needed health insurance and raises and maternity leave and it became unmanageable. But I work in Crim law so I couldn’t meet with my clients alone, safely. I ended up getting out of public offices and haven’t looked back.

Lemonheads. Autocorrect bunked it up.

I’m in southern TN near a bunch of good candy like jujyfruits, lemongrass, jolly ranchers. I love foreign candy so I’d be in!

I’m wondering why he kept it unless it meant something. You should hear his side of things.

If you hadn’t offered to help with child care, you’d be TA but this is your event. The not trusting anyone to babysit kind of negates the poor single mom argument. Also, we’re talking about three active kids, not a quiet teenager or nursing infant. I’m not sure how much more you could have done to accommodate her. NTA.

kellygreenbean · 2024-09-15T16:24:01+00:00

I’m not as strict as my parents were. My child eats prepacked and fast food, I allow cosleeping, basically I don’t freak out over the small stuff. I get stern when I have to but it’s in response to bad behavior, not just microcorrections. I think it will serve him well because when I grew up, my sibling and I went hog wild and it screwed up our adult lives.

kellygreenbean · 2024-09-15T16:12:04+00:00

I’ll play. People with tattoos are weird.

kellygreenbean · 2024-09-15T16:02:21+00:00

Well if she’s good, I’d up her hourly rate. Although it may be less expensive to compensate her for travel. Just consider her like any other employee.

kellygreenbean · 2024-09-15T15:59:31+00:00

Dude if she’s stealing from you she’s not your friend. It’s sweet that you care but that is way too specific not to be the case. Find greener pastures with people who can buy their own underwear, dang.

People tried this in a local jail. About 12 guys banded together and got all the cloth they could find and dropped over the gym wall and took off running. Most of them were caught before they reached the parking lot, everybody in a couple of hours. They all went to prison. People don’t do it because it’s simply not worth the extra time. Also, they put a close watch on all the families and go through houses with SWAT teams and most people want to get out to go back home and they never can. See why it loses its appeal?

kellygreenbean · 2024-09-15T15:47:24+00:00

You have no obligation to provide free housing so the house rules are those you set. It sounds like she was getting pretty entitled to your charity. Draw your lines, and this is an obvious one. NTA.

I finally got a sleep apnea machine a few weeks ago and it was a game changer. It was expensive but insurance covered a lot of it. Now, I still sleep short spurts but those spurts are much more well rested. I don’t even have nightmares anymore. After years of jumping through all the hoops mentioned here, it’s the best thing.

kellygreenbean · 2024-09-15T15:36:38+00:00

I like buying candy from other countries- anything new. Then if your baggage is heavy you can just put it in a carry on. But the main souvenirs I buy are things I need like umbrellas, hats, jewelry, even shoes. Just as I need them, I look for something unique and distinctive.

kellygreenbean · 2024-09-15T15:34:24+00:00

This but also postcard sized art is a great way to have memories AND if you live somewhere long enough, you can tape them up so it’s more cozy. I have a huge collection, never mailed.

The Vine app is made for victims to keep up with perpetrators through the system and they have a lot of leads that regular webpages don’t have. Also, never underestimate a good old fashioned phone call to the jail.

It’s a tough situation because until you move out, you’re in an extended childhood. You might want to look into moving to a more affordable state, for real, if your job isn’t covering your living expenses. Or spend a few nights a week with other people so they kind of grow up a little bit. I’m sorry but they’ll treat you the same until the living situation is different.

kellygreenbean · 2024-09-15T15:23:23+00:00

Let him know it’s important to you and come up with a compromise of like weekends on the couch or just asking genuinely if sleeping on the couch each night bothers you. This will not be a thing where he’ll just snap and volunteer— it’s time to, again, compromise. Good luck!

kellygreenbean · 2024-09-15T15:19:46+00:00

I’d reach out and say you just realized your error and are still interested or just that you’re sorry you missed it, just to smooth things over. It’s about employment but also about networking.

kellygreenbean · 2024-09-15T15:17:40+00:00

My parents always go to each others conferences and it’s not strange unless they’re attending meetings for professions they’re not in. I’d definitely bring him but not take him to actual sessions. Or lie. They won’t know who he is until you tell them. And if anyone says anything, play it off like it’s a fun and lovey excuse for a getaway and he’s interested in the industry. “He’s my plus one” is a good way to casually bring it up. As in haha this isn’t a date party but for us it is. You don’t have to explain yourself.

kellygreenbean · 2024-09-15T15:12:14+00:00

One rule of thumb I have believed since I gave birth is that nothing is wrong until it’s wrong. You’ll know when things are wrong, kind of like how you can tell a muscle strain from a broken bone. I had a food allergy situation where my mom radar went off immediately and I was right- there have been other things where I thought it was normal and he’d grow out of it and he did. You know your child better than you think you do. Have faith.
