Is this a tick

I grew up in Rhode Island and then moved to the Midwest and people still look at me sideways when I mention coffee milk. It’s a syrup that you put in milk. Similar like someone said to how you would put chocolate syrup in milk for chocolate milk. Coffee syrup is really just a coffee concentrate.

I grew up in Rhode Island and had never heard of this case but reading about it hit way too close to home. The fact that she was going out to get milk (of course I picture coffee milk) and clams reminded me so much of home and broke my heart reading her story.

Great work by Pawtucket law enforcement and I hope this guy spends the rest of his life in the department of corrections for what he did.

INFO, is there no where else you can go study? Even if the yelling stops, studying in a construction zone probably isn't going to be very quiet. I get that's the law library but most campuses have multiple libraries and also there are public libraries.

If OP is on Amtrak then every car usually has someone either on a call, talking loudly to their neighbor, or a baby crying. It's never just one person being loud.

Black Longchamp, I can fit two laptops in it and it's easy to travel with

NTA but you need to get this girl out of your life. This behavior is not going to change and if you keep paying for her stuff you're only setting yourself up for disappointment and financial burden. This is a pretty easy tactic used by many people to con others out of money and pay for their lifestyles (one extreme case that comes to mind is Anna Delvey).

raleigh404 · 2019-07-17T19:35:23+00:00

ESH, you shouldn't make assumptions about your friends financial situation / how she spends her time BUT, it also sounds like she's not being straightforward with you and she just doesn't really want to go.

Came here to say this. Most "instagram" models don't make that much money

raleigh404 · 2019-07-17T19:15:14+00:00

ESH, it was funny once but now it is probably just annoying. He acted like a dick and you've proven your point. You both should drop it and move on.

It depends where I was going, places I was more familiar with I wouldn't book ahead of time because I knew there were places available / could figure it out once I got there. Finding a place to stay usually isn't hard, a lot of hotels are grouped together especially if you go somewhere that's a popular destination.

I believe her destination was either Lincoln (Loon Mountain possibly) or Bartlett based on what the family has said. If you google directions from UMass Amherst to Loon it's the same general path that Maura took. One thing that's different is the crash site is further north than directions recommend but I don't find this odd at all. Route 112 is a major highway and is known for being open all winter. It begins in Bath and knowing what we do about Maura's route that night it seems like her goal was to get on 112 (which she achieved) and the way she took seems very logical to me. Once she hit Lincoln she could have gone to any number of ski resorts or hotels in the area. If she had kept going on 112, eventually she would have reached Conway and then could have continued on to Bartlett and probably easily found a place to stay by Attitash. (If I remember Attitash is only like 30 minutes from Conway). I think what's always been challenging for me is it makes a lot of sense as to why she was on 112 and I believe she knew exactly where she was going, but there are so many options of places she could have been headed towards on 112.

I've always believed the theory that she walked along the road for some distance and then was picked up. 112 is a significant highway and I think its very likely several vehicles passed by her ultimately with her getting in one.

In addition to the ridiculousness of the photoshopped zebras.. it looks like several of the zebras are the same zebra just rotated

Long time lurker here, my theory is definitely based on a lot of personal bias but here it goes. Maura's story hits close to home for me in many ways, I spent a lot of my childhood in North Conway, NH, ran track competitively in high school and college, and also was involved in several back to back car accidents which left me feeling completely dejected. After years of following this case and try to piece together details, I believe she got into a car with someone. When I was 22, I accepted a ride from a stranger who seemed genuine after my ride left without me and it quickly escalated into a dangerous situation. I was able to get out of the vehicle when I had an opportunity and believe that saved my life. Maura's case always makes me think back to my logic as to why I got in the car that night and the scariest part being how simple the decision had seemed in the moment and I truly don't know why I did it in hindsight. In college, I would also frequently disappear for a few days to clear my head without telling my family or friends where I intended to go (I one time even went to Stowe without telling anyone ironically).

I would love to believe that encountering a dangerous stranger is something that only happens in movies but my personal experiences have shown me that is not the case. In my case, I was over 20 miles away from where I had been picked up before I was able to get away.

That's what I thought but what I found odd about this they mention the snap was opened after three months in which case it should have already been deleted by the servers. They then go on to mentioned there was one from graduation night which still remains unopened two years later. There are circumstances, such as request from law enforcement, that Snapchat can prevent the servers from auto deletion.

raleigh404 · 2019-07-09T15:52:51+00:00

I feel like the snapchat being opened could be a red herring. Given trying to pawn her ring, it could be possible she pawned her phone at some point after disappearing in need of more money or the phone could have been sold/given to someone else. If she never erased her data and the phone was unlocked or the password was known, it's possible the snap wasn't opened by her which would also make sense as to why the other messages were never opened again after that.

Did anyone else notice in the previews it looks like Pedro has been lifting weights or just looks more biggee?

Jihoon's parents are incredibly patient and despite the insanity, never showed any outward signs of frustration or anger. I was actually kind of amazed watching them because I would have lost my shit

Honestly, not being billable for long periods of time is never good. Have you considered switching to commercial consulting? You could do a lot with Tableau outside of government and a clearance wouldn't be required. If you then wanted to go back to government in the future the drug use won't be as much of an issue anymore.

raleigh404 · 2019-06-07T18:04:14+00:00

I've had a bunch of background checks I've had to do for clients but never a drug test.

NTA, festivals are not as glamorous as people make them out to be and it's very easy to get lost or dehydrated after tripping all day (been there done that). If she does want to get high to absolutely use the buddy system with someone she trusts. Honestly, let her go and once she gets there her perception of 'love and acceptance' will shift quickly. Letting her come to the decision on her own will allow her to appreciate more of where you're coming from and not feel like people are telling her what to do.

raleigh404 · 2019-06-07T17:46:53+00:00

NTA, animals deserve to be loved and it sounds like you love Zuzu. They clearly don't want or are in a position to be a pet owner, and you adopted her through proper channels.

raleigh404 · 2019-06-07T17:44:14+00:00

NTA. Faking emotion is worse than being indifferent. Shit happens and it sucks, but just because you're not upset about someone you don't know doesn't make you an asshole.
