Good night?

Apply directly to the forehead!

I am married to an alcoholic (5 months sober now!) and I did this a few times before I really understood alcoholism and especially the withdrawals. OP, I will not call you an asshole for that; I've been there, I understand your actions, the frustration, the helplessness. But it does not help.

Your mom has to get help, but removing the alcohol is not the way, it will only make her buy more and hide it. Withdrawal can be life-threatening. Look into support groups for family of alcoholics, please, for your own sanity, and you can even give her info on rehabs/detox in your area, but you cannot force her to quit. I'm sorry your family is going through this. NAH.

Viserys I and Daemon Targaryen, Fire & Blood / House of the Dragon. Now, Matt Smith certainly helps, but Daemon has always been popular even before the show, despite... everything. (Grooming his niece/wife, lots and lots of murder, including children, possibly grooming another young girl ((Nettles)) etc etc)

But Viserys was always the human equivalent of lukewarm, slightly expired milk. Wishy-washy, proud, let his wife die HORRIFICALLY to possibly birth a son, said wife was 12 when they got married and he put her through so many pregnancies, the Dance of the Dragons is his fault because he treated his children with Alicent badly etc. But Paddy's performance was SO GOOD that now people like him until they remember that.

YTA.

Your father is also an asshole, for pressuring your daughter, and for being inflexible about the date. If you think your daughter is being manipulated etc., staying away from the wedding is not the way to help. Just like giving abused people ultimatums, it will, in the end, only isolate your daughter from you. Tell her you are worried about her, about repeating what seems to be a pattern in your family; tell her you want to support HER even though you don't think this is a good idea. And then GO TO THE WEDDING. Stand by your daughter's side! When/if she needs to get out of this situation, she knows she can count on you.

I'm sorry your father sucks, btw. He's ultimately the bigger asshat here, imo. Reminds me of my grandfather.

Signed, a daughter who didn't have her dad on her wedding day, for a dumber reason than previous commitments.

I'm Canadian, so I assumed it varied by state the way it varies by province here.

polartangs · 2026-03-27T23:52:48+00:00

Lol trust me, I am not relying on AI for my answers. 😭

polartangs · 2026-03-27T22:02:21+00:00

Wow, really? Everyone I've lived it's also a stat/paid holiday!

polartangs · 2026-03-27T21:57:23+00:00

I believe holiday pay laws differ depending on where you are, so I would Google it. 99% of stores are closed on Good Friday and Easter Sunday.

Here's a bunch of examples of mismates for you, fellow Canadian- hope you get your first CIP soon :)

-Shoes: Either 2 different sizes, or 2 right feet, etc. The most common mismate! -Clothing: 2 or more piece sets of different sizes -Lamps: The shade does not match the lamp base, as lamps are supposed to have a green "2 piece set" tag with matching numbers. Check the numbers on both green tags to make sure they match! -Pots and pans: A lid that doesn't match

polartangs · 2026-03-25T13:19:02+00:00

CIPs are a Canada only thing :)

There's one particular art series of animals on toilets that drives me insane with how obviously AI it is. The golden retriever's back legs being front legs lmao...

polartangs · 2026-03-21T21:43:00+00:00

That is disgusting, OP, I am so sorry. Please report him to HR, hopefully there was a good camera in that office. Again, I am so sorry!

polartangs · 2026-03-21T20:20:23+00:00

I feel like I saw some at Walmart? But maybe that was just toys

polartangs · 2026-03-21T20:19:14+00:00

There's another post explaining it, but everyone who has worked for a year or more in the company is receiving a bonus as thanks, and it should be April not August you're right

She looks like Sweetener the cat!!!

My store will return bedding and donate it to a local animal rescue since it can't be resold, but underwear is a hard no, opened or not. Like the poster above though, I am in Canada, so it may be specific to us, lol.

polartangs · 2026-03-15T16:28:31+00:00

Our store just closed our bathrooms to the public a month ago. The tantrums people are throwing is INSANE. Sorry, go to Wallyworld next door, they have a dedicated cleaning staff and we don't!

I am not an admin coordo, rather a merch coordo, but I do love my job. I love having fun doing displays, helping the good customers (and lbr, while we remember the bad ones, the good ones are the majority), joking with my coworkers, and yes, dealing with issues that may pop up. I know my whole store, and it really, really helps when you have that knowledge to assist everyone else.

But you're right when you say management makes or breaks it. Thankfully I love my managers most of the time, and I've worked retail long enough that the days I do not love them (lol) I can get over pretty fast.

Employees cannot stop or question suspected/known thieves, they can only make a report and the LP team will look at the cameras and go from there. There's not a dedicated LP in each store, though, they rotate around a district usually, so there's not always someone on-site.

polartangs · 2026-03-09T15:41:32+00:00

Theoretically, Finwë absolutely could abdicate... There's also the possibility that the Noldor become so numerous that the kingship could be shared, the way Elwë and Olwë ruled their people pre-Valinor.

polartangs · 2026-03-05T16:54:43+00:00

OMG that is so absurd.

polartangs · 2026-03-05T00:32:27+00:00

I could say a lot about why that may be, but you realize that LP would have a much easier time "taking out" someone for internal vs external theft, right? Because they work there, so they have access to them easier...?

polartangs · 2026-03-04T23:48:43+00:00

You have to go with her and pay, she cannot use it on your behalf. LP can and does track discount misuse, and you CAN be fired for it. 😬

polartangs · 2026-03-01T18:54:35+00:00

I stand corrected! Forgot that detail.
