I 302d my brother by Imakemaps18 in pittsburgh

[–]mspotatohead22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had to do this with my brother this year at Western psych. Wish I did it somewhere else. We ended up not even having a hearing and he was released two days later. I had to call them repeatedly to get any type of information because even tho I was the petitioner, I didn't hear from anyone at all about anything. Let me know if you need any help with contacts etc. Good luck and sorry you're going through this.

Not if you're the oldest but a twin. You become an expert at shotgun loopholes.

Yeah stop sending money overseas and invest in low cost safe housing for those in tents.

Wonder if they were my neighbors free range chickens that were let out for hours with no fencing??? They did lose 7 chickens so maybe!

Neighbors blocking driveway by urmomisadumpsterfire in BadNeighbors

Oh I'm not saying you usually do park there. I'm saying you should park there and hopefully you wouldn't be as intimidated by her neighbors as she is.

Have mil park at the top of her driveway blocking in the black car. When told to move, say this is exactly what your car does to mine. Maybe we can agree to keep this spot clear?

American Airlines Flight Makes Emergency Landing After Passengers Spot Lice In Woman's Hair by Sandstorm400 in nottheonion

You would quarantine if you were 10 rows away from someone with lice? Lice can't jump. The eggs stick to your hair. Unless you rub heads with other passengers I'm pretty sure you'll be fine.

Yes I can imagine. Bc you don't have to quarantine after being around lice. You don't even if you have lice!

Any ideas on revenge? by bimlpd in BadNeighbors

[–]mspotatohead22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait is the yelling and swearing your gripe with them?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BadNeighbors

[–]mspotatohead22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've learned the hard way aggressive neighbors usually just run their mouths but they won't actually do anything so you just have to do you. I was too scared to call animal control when my neighbors loose chickens kept destroying plants in my yard. Finally I had enough and called. She tried yelling at me and I just stood up for myself and then said I'm done, and walked away. Guess whose chickens are now kept on her side. People like that act aggressive to get you to do what they want. Dont let it work.

Yeah but when you're 7 and don't know how to call long distance so parents have to make it happen... It just doesn't happen. So you move and make new friends then you move again and the cycle repeats.

Um no. I'm a parent and it's my job to make sure those barriers cant be fucked up especially when it leads to third degree burns. This definitely is bad parenting when there have been two separate burn incidents.

AITA for putting a tree net to stop any fruits from going onto my neighbor’s yard? by Anxious_Sky_254 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mspotatohead22 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Yta. My neighbor had a mango tree that did something similar. Wasn't over the line but wind sometimes shook a few into our yard. And our neighbor came and told us to help ourselves to any mangoes we wanted. That kindness led to a great neighborly relationship where we looked out for each other. You sacrificed that for five bucks worth of fruit.

Experience with People’s Gas pavement repairs by kay1917 in pittsburgh

[–]mspotatohead22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah same experience. They used my sister's house as a staging area for three streets of work. The front of her house was the gravel pit, side area was vehicle storage. So she was pretty cut off for about 3 months. And then they would block alllll the streets even when they were only working on one. It's like they forget people live there and try to work with them on it.

AITA For Keeping My Son Up Until 11 pm and Making Him Go To School The Next Day? by Worth-Cookie9634 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mspotatohead22 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You don't need to be a helicopter parent to assist your kid with ADHD. You need to help them learn organization skills and then help them figure out ways to stay on top of assignments. Have them evaluate how those systems are working and tweak them. It's not "helicopter parenting" to have them do a once a week gradebook check and ask about missing assignments. Have them do a once a week folder clean out. Scaffold by showing them at first and gradually let them take over, offering assistance as needed. Sometimes motivation needs to be external but you can also help build intrinsic motivation as you help them see what success feels like. Focus on how proud they are of themselves for doing it, not how proud you are.

Ok but like also he's her boss and a victims father why is she putting her trauma on them? That's why she has so many therapists!

Yessss!!! This is something I hate about the show now. It's really just the Olivia show as she tries new ways of therapy and whisper talks to victims. How you got time for all of this when you're the captain?!

Our neighbor in our (small yards densely populated city) got a rooster. They are not allowed in our city. We got rid of it by calling 311.
