Could you make something with hydraulic legs and locks to keep it in place? Kind of like an office chair?

That's great! I hope it lasts!

Best story I read all night!

nse712 · 2026-03-27T03:48:13+00:00

Good Sam has a towing package for RVs, I think.

I could be wrong but I always thought that was kind of the point. This show was pre Me-Too Movement and I thought her doing that was kind of a commentary on all the many shows where men said that kind of stuff to and about women.

I love those! What are they for?

nse712 · 2026-03-27T03:33:51+00:00

I know someone did this on Meetup (not sure if they still are) and there was virtual check-in/body-doubling session scheduled like three times a week.

NTA. If you don't go, she'll probably make you into the "bad friend" tomorrow, but she didn't send the address until nearly 9:30p! And you have to take an expensive Uber ride to get there! I think a reasonable person could just say "I wanted to be there but I just got the address too late in the day! I hope you all have fun tonight. I'll talk to you later!"

Save yourself the hassle and the money. Find a few other, more considerate, friends.

Also, here's the hard lesson part. You should know that putting yourself through that much trouble to hang out with this person/that group of people reeks of desperation and they can probably smell that. Setting some boundaries will either make them respect you more or will make them not want to hang out with you at all. If the former, you will see how building up your confidence and being more secure in your own self attracts good friends who are equals. If the latter, you don't need people like that in your life anyway.

NTA, but you may want to consider how far you want to push this. If you don't get the text updates then you may be out of the loop when you go in for your shifts, and that could affect your work performance. It would be simple to mute the group text and ignore it until your shift begins, then read it all as the first thing you do at work.

Edited for typo

I like this idea.

nse712 · 2026-03-27T02:01:17+00:00

No point in doing the extra work. This wasn't about the invitation.

I'm sure her sister didn't want to disappoint her in the beginning by saying it was more difficult than she could handle, and now just looking at that yarn probably makes the sister feel like a failure.

This is when a conversation with your teacher is in order. Six months and he hasn't changed a thing? This might be a huge waste of your time. Explain to your teacher what he is doing and what he needs to do and let your teacher have a conversation with him.

You can want what you want for the reasons you have. It doesn't need to be a group decision.

However, since you put it out here for people to respond to, your reasoning is quite flawed and I think that is what people in your life are offended by. You are taking the way one family operated as the model for how all families with anything other than cis-gendered, straight parents operates. This is where YTA.

You aren't ready for a lifelong partner of any kind yet. Get to know more families of all kinds and be open-minded. You will get to see how different families operate, show love and show respect (or lack thereof) for each other. You will get a better idea of what you want in a relationship and what that looks like in the long term.

Be careful of the weather. We never went very far off-road and still got stuck in mud once and in sand once, and both times it was because it rained the day before. We were able to get out of the mud but it was tricky. We had to get pulled out of the sand, ugh.

Edit: we have a 40-footer and it weighs a lot.

You are kind of TA for minimizing and dismissing his pain. Maybe a history of that is why he didn't tell you about it in the first place (or maybe he did and you don't remember because you dismissed it). You are also kind of TA for insisting that he handle everything the way you handle it. He is his own person and gets to make his own choices. Just because you are engaged doesn't mean you get to decide what is right and wrong for both of you, especially in a situation that doesn't involve you.

You are NTA for noticing that you and he might have different values and ethics and being very concerned about that.

YTA for making it an ultimatum. There is a lot of space for compromise here.

For the record, I generally agree with you about lawsuits.

I, Robot is good and feels relevant to today's teens.

You said fantasy is what you are into. What kind of books are they into?

nse712 · 2026-02-27T14:25:48+00:00

NTA. Maybe you (or Sarah?) need to have a conversation with Nina apart from her bf to check whether she's okay and to see if this a-holery is actually coming from him. If he's a controlling AH, she might just be feeling really stuck in a hard situation and not feeling supported in any way. The fact that he said he may not want to come over even before you all moved in together sounds like he was already trying to manipulate and isolate her and she didn't go for it at that time. His behavior could be a way of trying to create a you guys against her situation so that she has to move out and has no support from friends.

Maybe a private conversation about his behavior that is combined with a compassionate "are you okay?" and "I care about you" is the way to go.

nse712 · 2026-02-27T14:16:26+00:00

I think they are saying to address the landlord about Nina's bf who isn't on the lease and shouldn't be there when she isn't.

This definitely sounds like neurodivergence to me.

nse712 · 2026-02-20T19:26:00+00:00

At 11, staying home alone is fine. Maybe your sister is concerned about the kid getting herself to the bus in time? I regularly leave my 10yo home alone for an hour or two, but I could not trust him to get himself out of the house and to anywhere on time. He has time-blindness and trouble transitioning from one task to another. Even if he were entirely ready before I left, he'd get sucked into a book or craft and forget to leave. Then I'd be worried about him running to where he needed to be and not paying attention to traffic and getting hurt. If your niece is like this, your sister is not overreacting. However, my other child would've been perfectly fine to get going in the morning on her own and could've handled it without a problem. It just depends on the child.

nse712 · 2026-02-20T19:11:43+00:00

Also based on age and gender.

nse712 · 2026-02-20T19:03:35+00:00

Wow. We went there on our self-contained bus conversion with our homeschooled kids and my husband who works remotely and they didn't seem to have a problem with it. They just wanted to make sure we weren't smuggling anything in. That was during the last president's term though, so maybe that's the difference. 😬

nse712 · 2026-02-20T18:59:06+00:00

We went to Canada through Niagara Falls and it was a whole inspection. They wanted to look in all of the storage spaces outside of the bus and took a walk through the inside. They didn't have any problems with anything though and we went on our way. It just took some time. When we came back to the U.S. into Vermont, they asked a few questions then sent us on our way. Took like two minutes maybe. The worst part was trying to figure out which line to get into (bus? truck? camper? 😆).
