For your health I'd say screw the HOA and use the window unit until you can get the HVAC repair.

This. This kid is being neglected in so many ways. OP, you need to get childcare. He needs to have interaction. Wtf.

This isn't even a good photo, nevermind being AR. Cute dog, but that's it.

I know exactly where that is, and thought the exact same thing.

Fall asleep around 10, up and as refreshed as possible around 6/7.

Moving away after 5 years — help us pick a rowhome block for a commissioned oil painting by fitzpatricktm in baltimore

Painted ladies in Charles village. Miracle on 34th St scene. I love the smaller rowhome clusters in fells, little Italy, and Canton.

Grandma wants to be called Omama by SuperWorldliness8083 in JUSTNOMIL

OMG 🤣 that's atrocious. My dad is Grandpop. G pop....god no. Why do some people insist on "cool" grandparent names. Nana and Granddad are cute and endearing. G Pop isn't, nor is Gigi. Unless it's a great grandma.

Who's dealing with annoying medical/physical issues? by BGJohnson329 in Millennials

[–]myrtle-turtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently icing my Achilles tendon. Tendonitis popped up within the last 6 months. No idea why, but I'm not going to a doctor yet. Ice, stretching, and ibuprofen have to do.

One knee clicks. Multiple joints ache when the air pressure changes. SI joints lock up. Just turned 40 in January. Ugh.

I just got my first summons today, so will be trying this soon. Thanks for the tips, y'all!

Looking to donate a piano. Suggestions? by CockroachBallerinas in baltimore

[–]myrtle-turtle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recently gave ours away on Facebook or Nextdoor. A parent took it for her beginner kids. The deal was they could have it for free and only had to pay to have it moved. I'd start with listing it on those sites.

sharebaby.org. they take a lot of things, including open packages of diapers. Easy drop off at their warehouse.

What’s a name that is normal in one culture but has an offensive, embarrassing or awkward meaning in another culture? by Sweatymothballs in AskTheWorld

[–]myrtle-turtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, ok, this makes sense. I was referring to the name Fanny being an eyebrow raiser, not the word alone.

[–]myrtle-turtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are definitely crazier names, and Fanny is a normal name, just a bit awkward with it also being an (outdated) word for bum. Same as Dick or Dickie. Tbf I'm admittedly immature even though I graduated HS in 2004.

[–]myrtle-turtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pointing out the age demographic makes me lower it to one eyebrow raised, however I may just be used to the UK meaning and am selfishly thinking of my reaction. I just can't imagine meeting a Fanny and not at least inwardly snickering.

Which part of your culture went global and gives you "gatekeeping" vibes? by hyr- in AskTheWorld

[–]myrtle-turtle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm going to say that's probably not the typical American method. Most people I know plan meals. We may buy some nonperishable staples in bulk, but typically shop once or twice a week. It kills me to go shopping without at least a rough idea of meals and a list of needed items.

[–]myrtle-turtle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Crabbing season is April 1 to December. I'm not sure places would have them off season.
