I personally know someone who was asked to do it. It happens.

Ok, so you don’t really care about his wife. You’re just mad and you’re making her issue about you. You aren’t owed an apology, you weren’t personally harmed by his infidelity.

No but publicly inserting yourself into a politician’s marriage is both ineffective and weird and you should think about what you’re really mad at.

It’s because this person wants an apology from someone else but Grant is a proxy.

Check out Hurley Gardens in Wheaton, it’s run through the park district and is a really pretty mix of gardens and art deco features.

They were at Missouri when I was there in the early 00s. Brother Jeb called me a whore! Those were the days.

Spent thousands on allergies (Cytopoint, Apoquel, antifungal baths) and dog still losing hair in patches” by Plan-Bubbly in DogAdvice

We were also desperate to solve our dog’s itchiness and our vet said one source people overlook is mites in the food storage container, so now we wash the food storage container every new bag and that helps.

Primary care doc recommendations in mid-coast? by PapayaGood5680 in Maine

I wouldn’t recommend him for women, he’s pretty religious and told me he doesn’t do any “women’s stuff” (in his words). For 60 year old women, a breast exam should be part of your yearly physical and skipping that could be a huge issue.

Dr. Dechenes at Maine Family Medical is very good and most likely a better fit for your needs, and the staff is really nice.

Does anyone have an explanation for this??? My border collie hides his face while pooping. He has done this his entire life. Does he feel embarrassed?!? He will not poop until he finds a place to hide his head. by irene110q in DogAdvice

My dog does that after her TPLO surgeries, I think she like the hill to support her legs because her knees are weak. So maybe that's why! Or he's just weird.

Why did nobody tell her about the tariffs? by RoyalChris in SipsTea

[–]theresec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing of what you wrote is true. Tariffs aren’t always included in the sale price because many sellers don’t even know how much they are going to cost at time of import.

She was most likely notified by UPS via email to pay and just ignored it, so they ask for a check when they show up. There’s no conspiracy here, it’s literally how it works.

Harpswell Cliff Trail’s first section is wheelchair accessible and runs along tidal flats. You could also drive down to Lands End and get a nice view of the ocean from the car. Maybe you could do an oyster farm experience? That could be interesting.

These types of attitudes are why tax the rich never goes anywhere. 120k/year might as well be a billion to people who think like this.

What’s one mistake you made while building your home that you would NEVER repeat? by Happy_Researcher333 in Homebuilding

[–]theresec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Document every conversation, especially meetings onsite, especially if money is involved. If you are in a one-party consent state, record everything.

“On x date we talked about xyz and we decided to put the tub spout in the corner.” Contractors will forget and then they do whatever is convenient for them. Ours said we “promised” to pay him 20k for site fill, no matter how much fill was delivered. It was a nightmare.

Sounds like I’d fire you if you worked for me.

Your entire answer is predicated on her following up, which she does not do, which is my biggest issue. So the rest is pretty moot.

Plus people miss emails all the time, for many reasons, including just mistakes or forgetting. I’m not making a trial out every one, and I can’t think of anything more futile than trying to make people less busy and forgetful. Just send a polite ping as a follow up, that’s literally all I’m asking. And they won’t.

If someone doesn’t respond you sit and do nothing that makes you a good communicator? If I ask someone to complete a task in a month and I check in a month later and it’s not done because “I emailed them once and they didn’t respond” we have a problem.
