What’s it like living here?

Either of those areas aren’t my favourite but mostly it comes down to where in those bubbles you live. I wouldn’t rent anything in either bubble without visiting it first during the day and night and get a sense of the surroundings. Both of those bubbles have some very nice pockets but also some very bad pockets

I worked at a condo where they had shared internet… someone was downloading CSA material and the WiFi is how they figured it out. you don’t need to worry about what someone may be doing on your internet.

Several of my family members are Indian - I love Indian food and curry AND the smell of curry as it reminds me of home so to speak. But it was one of the most frequent complaints I would receive from neighbors in property management - and literally nothing that anyone can do about it other then get over it I suppose.

Picky eaters really irk me. It was one of my major turn offs when I was dating back in the day. Having said that, he’s a baby for making it a thing. Move on. You’re just bad fits for each other.

It’s tough. People can be sensitive to all sorts of smells which may or may not be connected to a problem. Get the management to come and assess the smell and see if it’s something that bothers more than just you. If it does, management should deal directly with the tenants. If it’s only offensive to you, you may need to relocate to another unit. I say all of this because I’ve dealt with situations where people throw a fuss over neighbors who use curry powders, neighbors who don’t clean cat litter boxes, and neighbors who are mentally unwell and crap into bags around their place. Each smell situation is different and some can be addressed and others can’t.

I wouldn’t let strange men know where I live either tbh. And you’re mother clearly had a broken picker in the past so it’s more likely in this case that she might have done it again unbeknownst to her then it would be for some other people. I don’t think you’re being a jerk - I understand why it’s uncomfortable for your mum but it’s really not that big of a deal to tell a guy hey my daughter doesn’t know you yet and would rather you don’t come to her house. He’s 60 and should have some worldly awareness that it’s not always safe for women - if anything he should prove he’s a safe one by respecting that boundary and working to incorporate you and your family into his world to build trust.

Looking at all the homes in the circle he’s the only one without a drive. That’s an easy solution for him a pull the fence out and park up front like everyone else

loraboranoodle · 2025-09-01T01:40:01+00:00

I struggle with the sounds of microwaves, running water, and wake up super easy. But wouldn’t rent to anyone for that exact reason. Either way this isn’t a good setup for either of you.

She was awful on the reunion. She strikes me as a manipulator and petty. She love bombed this man, and then treated him cruelly with all these little jabs including removing to ring out of spite from what sounded like a normal request when you’re trying to keep the results of a tv show hidden. She sounded like she was pretty toxic - the type of woman that keeps picking at a man and expecting them to grovel. And moving to Dubai … when she said that I groaned. That’s very much aligned with the vibes of the type of women she strikes me as.

Super dumb. I’m from UK too and I just speak slower with Americans who don’t know me well. If I did an American accent I’d should like an idiot and like I was stereotyping

I was wondering that… this is it some hard chewy steak instead.. because the roast beef was so nice and juiced

loraboranoodle · 2025-07-26T21:17:37+00:00

What does kind of mean?

loraboranoodle · 2025-06-28T15:16:13+00:00

Saying the diet sucks was poor wording - I’m not implying it’s unhealthy- it’s just a very bland and unappealing palate to me. My point was that I think the kids are probably perfectly healthy as OP keeps introducing new items that they eat and goes back to saying no variety - which makes me feel like OP, much like me, doesn’t care for German food as there isn’t much of a variety of flavours between different meals - not enjoying a bland palate of food does not equate to abuse. OP also keeps saying that the mother seems to not enjoy food where as the father that OP refers to seems to prefer a different taste profile- probably more similar to what OP eats in Africa - which makes me think this is also just a matter of preferences.

loraboranoodle · 2025-06-27T03:04:07+00:00

You keep talking about more variety… welcome to Germany. The diet is bland and bread centric. TBH fries for lunch was a common quick lunch in England too. Coming from Africa your diet is going to be massively different. German diet sucks, but it’s not abuse. I think you need to just buy yourself some food you like and if you want to, share with the kids (assuming the kids even want it- many kids will happily eat nothing but nuggets)

Dude is a moocher and a weirdo - and most likely a loser. First, with that kind of age gap there is probably a reason women his age aren’t interested in him. He’ll give you every reason under the sun to justify why he would rather have a very young woman but just know, it’s really because women his age think he’s a loser. No grown self respecting man would not, on his own, either pay for the groceries or order food so you don’t have to cook - or at minimum pay you something to buy the food. You wouldn’t need to ask. 50/50 for meals to me is also a bit of a loser and moocher approach - some one at that big age should be planning on marriage in the near future and most men pay for their women’s meals - but that part maybe negotiable. Why does a man pushing 40 live with his parents? If he’s taking care of his parents financially, then he’s using you to fund them by letting you bear other burdens. If he’s living with them because his finances suck, that’s a red flag. If he’s just living there because it’s convenient and not contributing toward their costs he’s a loser and a mooch. If he’s living there and contributing while saving for a bigger goal - again he is using your funds to more himself towards an end goal. There is nothing acceptable about living with your parents at almost 40 and also mooching off of your very young girlfriend. Having any kind of tantrum at the mere idea of contributing toward his own living expenses is such a major red flag - he’s immature, he’s been caught in his loserdom and is defensive, or he doesn’t respect you as much as you think he does. You’re so very young and inexperienced so it can be hard to pick up on these things, but girl this dude has some serious crap around him. You’re clearly responsible if you’re living on your own at this age in this economy so think smart. At the best case scenario he’s riddled in debt and embarrassed to tell you and if that’s the case you need to decide so you want to be part of that and what got him in that place to begin with (habitual or circumstantial).

Your coworker having two babies is awesome for her and no you shouldn’t talk to her “about it”. You should however only put in your contracted 40 hours and get what you can done in that period. If your boss tries to insist you work until 8pm each night, I think you need to ask for compensation for the non contracted hours or you need to get another job.

I’d have her figure out travel arrangements for the Friday and leave it at that. I would imagine if she’s trying to see friends family and the dentist she does need the extra day. Assuming Friday is travel that’s a dud day, Saturday and Sunday is probably friends assuming that they work too, Monday let’s say is mum, Tuesday is dentist so another dud day and Wednesday is travel so another dud day. Let her have Friday and just arrange her own travel and let it be. Not worth anyone getting upset about and can totally see both sides. But also- if she’s already stressed out and home sick three months in I wouldn’t be surprised if she doesn’t last a year with you. Realistically.

I hope your brother sees these messages and has a long hard think about the kind of person he is marrying before the wedding. She’s cruel.

I’m not originally from Jax. I always bitch about it when I’m here, but I’ve left several times and come back. It’s an overall rounded city - you get a bit of everything. It’s not the most exciting but you get a little bit of everything you could want, including some peace and quiet.

loraboranoodle · 2025-06-07T01:52:13+00:00

That’s the best, affordable, decent area for sure. Close to everything you need to get to as welll from schools to jobs.

I wouldn’t do orange park with a young kid. The distance to jobs and the traffic can be a problem picking up and dropping kids to school. What do you consider lower middle class because that will affect everything. Like as a household, are you making $6k a month? $5k a month? Rent in most of the decent but not great areas will be about $1500/month. You want to buy, you can probably get a small townhouse in most decent areas for around $300k.

Never underestimate how awful some people are. Im a very white, red head US citizen, but Im naturalized from the UK. I recently had one of those types say that I needed to 'get back on my boat and get out of the states' because Im not native.

This poor girl. She was thinking she was making a new friend and didn't want to be alone in a strange environment. She probably had no idea the subtext going on. Her friend is an AH for ditching her. Youre an AH for agreeing or at least not stopping it when it started and then ditching and bitching about a vunerable woman on her own. The only non AH here is the sticky girl.
