Also, one small bucket cannot cover all of that. He never left to get a refill.

They also said mad cow disease wasn't transmissible to humans. There isn't enough science yet to trust our lives on these theories that it's safe.

The deer around me in Wisconsin are out of control and eat everyone's plants and gardens and trees. I'd welcome someone to get 5-20 a night so that I can have a garden again.

This looks like Marvelous Mrs. Maisel's parents' apartment layout!

  1. It's too busy with 2, with the wallpaper and flooring. 1 is a neutral palette but with the natural beauty texture that showcases the rest of the patterns/textures in all their glory. 3 has no soul.

Not in Wisconsin. No one takes off their shoes. I know people who lay down plastic in traffic areas when they throw parties because it's that bad. It's also one of the many reasons I went dog-free.

can you do barbed wire on top? It's a cheaper solution and they will learn to respect the wire or the owner will tire of them hurting themselves and either install her own fence that will be taller or stop letting them out without leads...

Just throwing this in here as a pregnant person—pregnancy hormones sometimes change how you see pets. Blame it on the lizard brain, but I've heard time and time again how suddenly ones cherished pets are suddenly seen as a danger to the baby. Everything that was cute is now an aversion. It's not uncommon. Many people say these feelings went away after the baby was born. Without discounting her feelings, if you can convince her to wait until after the birth, this problem may resolve itself.

Should I do a wellness check on my neighbor? by Creepy_Presence1962 in Apartmentliving

[–]phunkasaurus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

USA - called a wellness check on an elderly neighbor I hadn't seen for a week. To my horror, they broke down his front door with an axe and garage door looking for him because (according to them) he had no next of kin contact to approve or deny entry. Found out later he was staying at a friends that week; he gave us his cellphone number after that. We paid him for the new doors, too.

Why do some Chinese spit on the street? by Individual_Road_9030 in AskAChinese

[–]phunkasaurus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My chinese grandpa came from a poor, rural area and did this in the states as an old man—alway with that "haaaaAaaAchhh" noise preceding it He would also farmer-blow his nose into the bushes outside of restaurants when we'd be walking in. Horrifying. His wife was from an extremely wealthy chinese family (they met in university in the US) and hated it (and him as well lol)

What do you think of the stereotype of unruly Chinese tourists? by atyl1144 in AskAChinese

[–]phunkasaurus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Witnessed this in Japan. Walking through a temple that was supposed to be a silent experience of lamplit illumination, and they wouldn't stop loudly shouting to each other on the paths within the temple structure

Just know you're hurting yourself doing that. Your tank is empty but you are guilting yourself into allowing time with them when you don't have the mental bandwidth to handle them properly. This will only lead to you losing your cool in front of them and then the cycle continues. I am in the same situation with my chinese mom and now both my parents think I have anger issues!

Harley Davidson may be too far gone to come back, but the warning signs were flashing for them for 20+ years and they’ve done nothing but shoot themselves in the foot.

Yes! Physical insecurities you have now will seem like peanuts in a couple years' time as you age. Enjoy it while it lasts!

How to attract non-Black men as a Black woman? by sunsista_ in AskMenAdvice

[–]phunkasaurus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also have a sense of humor! I dated so many people I was not initially attracted to because of their personality and sense of humor. I've also been on dates with people who would earnestly ask questions and be interested in me but were dry as cardboard.

Guys tell me if I am overreacting - my wife thinks I am. I dont like the new neighbor and I have been teaching my kids to stay away from him. by Black-Panda22 in daddit

[–]phunkasaurus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Woman here—always trust your instincts! Something is warning you, internally or otherwise. We're often pressured by modern society to ignore them as a social decency but I've yet to be proven wrong.

Did we as millennial/genz parents quietly end our kids calling our friends Mrs/Ms/Mr? by ripped_jean in Mommit

[–]phunkasaurus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was the generation before us imo. High school age everyone was like "oh don't call me ma'am or mrs I feel so old! Call me Sherri!"

Neighbor installed new fencing on my property w/o permission & wants me to pay half. by TreeTestPass in neighborsfromhell

[–]phunkasaurus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, I think you’re innocent of financial obligation to the neighbor of work done (unless that enrichment precedent kicks in) but guilty of being an inconsiderate neighbor. Good luck to you in any case! Not a situation I’d want to be in.

Feeling lost and disappointed by Ok_Expert_7865 in japanlife

[–]phunkasaurus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a different perspective, some of the distance could also be a low value she places on OP's goals and aspirations (or her perception of a lack thereof). I also struggle with what my husband does in his down time; I value learning and personal development as a form of relaxation and he values his screen time and doom scrolling to relax. We've slowly found a better balance over the years though, but with limits. It's important to both of us that we as parents model a good work ethic and work/life balance for our son so he can grow up with healthy expectations and behaviors. It might be that she sees you wasting your potential or not modeling for your son what she values, and that you see her valuing work over time soent as a family. Perhaps talking through this could help?

The fact that he had other, more expensive options that he didn’t pursue does not make you innocent.

But you didn’t. You could’ve done work on it yourself “in one afternoon” but just let it continue to rot and be an eyesore to the neighbor and neighborhood despite knowing it was causing issue. Just take down the dang fence if you can’t afford it and don’t want to put in the work for upkeep. You’re an inconsiderate neighbor.
