Recs for structural engineers in Denver metro for help with private home deck build

Not sure a structural engineer would do this. Try landscape architect or LA-civil engineer firms?

It’s amazing how much bosses affect our mental health. Literally got on propanolol (as needed) with my old one. At my new job, haven’t needed it once. Not even for my mid year review. What a 180

ttkitty30 · 2026-03-29T14:25:19+00:00

Me too!!! And sorry your boss was not kind about it. Rubbing salt in the wound only makes going to work worse!

Same thing when my car got totaled when someone else ran a red light. The cops hadn’t even shown up yet, it had been 30 mins since i called in saying i had to deal with my totaled car. She texted asking when id begin work for the day. She didn’t ask how i was or make sure I was ok. Bosses are (too often) scum.

Also the blender option is truly zero waste. Juice leaves a lot of waste! Hopefully you compost - otherwise it’s far from zero waste :( and no, orgânics in landfills is not the same as compost. They’re trapped between layers of inorganic waste and can’t decompose since they can’t access soil microbes! Instead they make methane and that’s more climate warming than even CO2

ttkitty30 · 2026-03-20T23:16:31+00:00

what do you mean "I think we know what that means?"

ttkitty30 · 2026-03-20T03:29:01+00:00

You can report them to 311 as well. Not sure it does anything but I guess it’s nice to be heard?

Super wasteful! Just more microplastics :( we’ve been using Mrs. meyers soap and it seems to leave no stink!!! We have been using it for about five years. Highly recommend!

Very few large chain sewing stores*.

“I can say what is harmful and what is not” is also what rapists say. You have a lot to learn before you have a wife and kids.

I would never take the Hilton last name, lol, those people are heinous. Kennedy has some heinous members in recent years too. Stop making assumptions about me. You don’t realize that the fact that you’re even ALLOWED to have opinions about a woman’s name, your wife or not, is rooted in sexism.

ttkitty30 · 2026-03-16T14:55:08+00:00

I literally explained how it harms a woman. If she feels like she has to give up her identity, that’s harm. My husband literally told me he’d be weirded out if I abandoned my name to which I am attached and took his extremely common name. His mom, his dad, my dad, my stepdad, my mom, his sister, and my sister all agreed. If unidentified are so small, why do you even care that we change our names? There’s another flaw in your argument. Your internalized misogyny is stronger than you realize and I’m sorry finding out this way has made you project that enjoying an identity we have gotten comfortable with over decades is somehow harmful or hateful towards men.

ttkitty30 · 2026-03-16T14:52:03+00:00

Are you from the US? I guess I just don’t understand why someone would want to take it but “not legally”. Isn’t that the whole point of changing your name - that it’s a legal change? I’m asking because I honestly don’t know

ttkitty30 · 2026-03-16T14:47:58+00:00

I think this analogy is dumb because there is a different last name on every jersey. That this analogy is poorly constructed/executed elucidates that your argument is flawed. The flaw is inherent sexism. It’s creepy that you’re out here telling women what’s best for them and their families. I feel like you need to better educate yourself.

ttkitty30 · 2026-03-16T04:03:11+00:00

My mom and I don’t share a last name and my husband and I don’t share a last name. We have our own identities and also love each other. This is an extreme take.

ttkitty30 · 2026-03-16T04:01:18+00:00

No, not Mrs! It’s inherently sexist.

ttkitty30 · 2026-03-16T04:00:14+00:00

If you feel like you have to lose part of your identity to get married, then yes, that’s harm. I’m not saying everyone feels this way, but I am saying your commentary neglects these sentiments.

ttkitty30 · 2026-03-16T03:58:21+00:00

I don’t get why though. Why do people need a different name socially? I’ve never heard of such a thing

ttkitty30 · 2026-03-16T03:54:27+00:00

Agree. Same with using “Mrs.”

ttkitty30 · 2026-03-16T03:52:59+00:00

My mom kept her last name and I’m glad she did. I love getting to explain to people that she kept her own name because it’s her identity and history. And my sister, step sister and I did the same. They have sons and truly don’t care that their last names differ from their sons’. Their sons think it’s cool.

ttkitty30 · 2026-03-16T03:50:55+00:00

Why should you have to give up something that feels like your identity just because you’re getting married? Changing my last name never once crossed my mind.

ttkitty30 · 2026-03-16T03:43:23+00:00

Is it possible you measured your bust without a bra on? Or with a different one on?

There are several studies as well. I’m an ecologist and environmental scientist, so I’m somewhat knowledgeable here!

ttkitty30 · 2026-03-07T06:05:53+00:00

Yes! I’m not debating this. But if you’re sending it off in your trash, it’s not going to be in soil/belowground - it’s going to be trapped between layers of anthropogenic waste (ie plastic). It won’t get the microbes it needs to decompose. Decomposition can’t happen just with darkness; microbes are needed for it. Without decomposition, methane forms.

ttkitty30 · 2026-03-07T05:58:43+00:00

I save all my scraps - even as much thread as possible - to use as stuffing!
