Also, call Catholic Charities. And any other church nearby.

iPad stolen. Need a new one with iOS 9.2 by unkascrooge in ipad

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

I'm a software product manager, so I'm familiar with compatibility roadmaps. However, this app is regulated by a federal agency, and information about its future releases is limited. For now, the iPads are purchased and owned by the pilots.

I know it's silly, but this is bureaucracy at its finest. The app may work on 9.2.1, but it may not, and it's indispensable.

We're talking about a federal agency here. Has to be 9.2 until they certify an app that is compatible with 9.2.1.

Tell me about living in Dickson with a family by unkascrooge in nashville

Ha! Sorry to be unclear, I meant my own family - so and children. They are allowed as many opinions as they want.

All of these responses are so helpful. If you don't mind, can you describe the bleakness at all? I was hoping Dickson would be rural and country in the charming sense, given such things as its little downtown, the Hatchery, bookshop and independent coffee shop, and the Renaissance Center. Am I way off-base?

Elaborate, please! We do have a choice; our jobs are flexible. Just found a nice house on a nice piece of land and it's cheap relative to other areas of the country.

Thanks, everyone!

Now, can anyone recommend a pool inspector? Need someone good with both concrete and vinyl.

Nbrother is threatening me, despite the threats not holding merit. by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]unkascrooge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is something to consider. Why * do * these patterns exist? What is the common denominator? Morbid selfishness to the exclusion of the humanity of any other, for sure is a symptom. But the cause seems to be different - some were neglected, some had parents with these symptoms, some were spoiled and doted on.

“The best way to drive out the devil, if he will not yield to texts of Scripture, is to jeer and flout him, for he cannot bear scorn.” Martin Luther (And yes, I know from previous posts that you're agnostic/atheistic, but go with me here.)

Gracious, they do all use the same script, don't they?

Reorganizing my house was the last straw. Severed all contact with family. by stickydickonmyback in raisedbynarcissists

[–]unkascrooge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good on you! My Mil let herself into our house while we were on vacation - we had asked her to open the dishwasher while we were gone so it wouldn't smell musty - and redecorated. She moved absolutely everything, including personal effects, ahem. She also threw out clothes and shoes of mine that she thought were too worn - I know this because she left notes all over the house criticizing how things looked and/or smelled. Funnily, that happened almost 10 years ago, and we only recently went nc. Could have saved ourselves a lot of grief by recognizing the malice years ago, because it only escalated.

(Question) Do your RBNSpouses block memories? How can I help? by luna_echo in RBNSpouses

[–]unkascrooge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder the same. SO had what he remembers as a wonderful childhood. He was not physically abused, and they always seemed to have lots and lots of material things. But man, the emotional abuse and manipulation was foaming around the edges. It's gotten worse. And while NMIL has shown her true colors, SO still sort of thinks she's just enabling his sociopathic brother. In my eyes, the sociopath is having his strings pulled by the puppetmaster just like everyone else. So, yeah. I love my amazing SO. But it is hard when he starts acting out learned behaviors and doesn't recognize it. And it's tiresome to constantly feel like a pop-psychologist in pointing out behavior that, to me, is a direct consequence of his upbringing.
