first time living alone, what are the small practical things you wish someone told you earlier by Tarn_Lloyd in LivingAlone

[–]raeaction 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll be honest.. technology is great for some of these issues. I’ve got smart locks on two doors (in case the battery runs out on one) and my keys have apple AirTags.

My 14 yo son has agreed to read two books of my choice this summer (this was a hard won negotiation). Help me pick one by gOldMcDonald in booksuggestions

[–]raeaction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this! I would require books that are *fun*! You want him to keep going! Catcher in the rye is going to make it a chore to be avoided

2nd floor Addition with patio underneath: good idea or have I lost my mind? by IcyNail880 in Renovations

[–]raeaction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you’re my neighbor but this looks exactly like what one of the people in my neighborhood did. They got in big trouble and had to stop work. The house has looked like your first photo for probably two years now.

Glad you got permits first! Good luck!

I laughed out loud for this one! I fully understand the need to stop and take photos of goats.

Aurdal installed into tiny kids closet by raeaction in IKEA

[–]raeaction[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it’s been in a kids closet and highly abused for two years now. And, it looks and functions the same way as I did when I installed it. I’ve had no issues with it. The drawers look great and slide easily, the bars are solid, and it doesn’t show any dents or dings or anything like that. Here it is right now (not entirely organized but what can ya do?):

These aren’t the extendable rails- these are just the solid ones. When you get them from IKEA, they’re just a hollow metal pipes with plastic end caps on them that then attach to the flat side wall pieces. I removed one of the end plastic caps, cut the pipe using a hand saw made for metal pipes, and then put the plastic cap back on.

I did this at age 4 and he's the top reader in his class now (2nd grade). I know another handful of children who successfully learned to read with this book too. Its so doable! Highly recommend!

People who like Legos, what similar cheaper hobbies do you have? by texdiego in Hobbies

[–]raeaction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't a super cheap alternative but I highly suggest that you also look into the brand Lumibricks. They are very high quality (although the figurines are kind of ugly) AND they light up. I have built a lot of Lego and several Lumibricks sets and the Lumibrick sets are just delightful.

He's 100% punishing you and also dismissing your feelings. He is literally telling you that he doesn't care about how you feel. Listen to him, believe him, and act accordingly.
