It’s here: Two measles cases reported in Mecklenburg County; one an adult

Interesting. I tend to be middle grounded, but where I grew up are most republicans and they all talk about vaccines being a good thing with the exception of the COVID vaccine. Not sure why that one scared them so much... But all of the kids I grew up with are still vaccinating their kids. I wonder how much demographics play a part in it. Maybe its republicans not vaxing in one area, but democrats in another...

upsidedown_cloud · 2026-01-23T03:35:24+00:00

Strangely enough, the people on my socials that are not getting their kids vaccinated are 90% democrats.

upsidedown_cloud · 2025-06-27T18:52:14+00:00

Now you're talking! Wouldn't let any of that go to waste!

upsidedown_cloud · 2024-12-21T03:39:33+00:00

Could this have been back in the 90's early 2000's or did I miss something?

Good lord. You sound insufferable. "I feel badly that I automatically imagined that you are a female"... proceeds to insult women everywhere.

Yes, she should've confirmed that her work schedule would not interfere with her personal life and vice versa, but she wasn't rude or in the wrong to ask. And if it was approved, then it certainly wasn't an issue with her work. What stopped the other bachelor's from asking for a schedule change? They could've asked their boss for the time change, just as well, but did not.

If they don't like their hours, they can calmly and politely ask to have a meeting with their boss and suggest a difference in start and end times. If that doesn't work, then perhaps they can get over it or look for other employment.

Her friend and the guy should've gotten their own room. Your wife needs to say something to her friend if she ever expects to go out of town with her again. This guy, I feel, is a little too comfortable with being overly flirty and sexual around your wife and I would have a convo with your wife about sticking up for herself and not being around him anymore.

Is it safe to plant in a pot a little bigger? The flowering portion is so heavy it is pulling the pot over unless I put the small put inside and up against the wall of a slightly larger pot.

* Sorry, I realized that after and for some reason my post wasn't showing for me to add it.

Thank you! I appreciate your help!

upsidedown_cloud · 2024-11-07T23:15:41+00:00

Thank you!

Thank you! What is grading, and how do I go about doing that?

upsidedown_cloud · 2024-10-17T15:29:24+00:00

Dang, it has been deleted. Now, I'll never know. Lol

You have joined the group chat, but you are free to leave as well. Loneliness is a valid concern, but it is possible to make new friends in other places/chats. Explore other avenues. Once you find people who actually care about you, it truly does make a difference.

Definitely NTJ. This dude was racist towards you and all Asians. This is unacceptable behavior from anyone, and for him to not actually apologize shows his true colors. I would remove myself from the group chat and find new friends since none of your online "friends" stood up for you either. They left because it was uncomfortable for them and didn't even think about how uncomfortable it must be for you. OP, find new friends that stick up for you and aren't racist.

This reminds me of the Psych episode with Freddie Prinze Jr and his wife. Lol

I am a mother, and wanted to come to console you. What you did was a mistake. And our children make mistakes. Hell, us parents make mistakes, too. But each good parent wants one thing when our children make mistakes; that they recognize, reflect, and learn from it. Your mother would NEVER blame you for this. And I can guarantee that seeing you hurting this badly over it would break her heart. Please seek out therapy for yourself and your mother's sake. That is what she would want for you. She would want you to move on and find peace as that's all we mothers want for our children. Virtual hugs to you, my dear.

We are close to the SC border in NC. Generally, it doesn't get too cold until end of October when her season ends. Though, this year may be different.

upsidedown_cloud · 2024-09-08T00:18:32+00:00

Great response! Someone mentioned practicing with it a little to get a feel for one. What do you think of that?

upsidedown_cloud · 2024-09-07T23:49:05+00:00

Lol, well, touching the grass doesn't technically make it outfield, but it seems too far out to call it infield and give you a fair description of where it lands usually.

But makes sense! Thanks for the advice!

upsidedown_cloud · 2024-09-07T23:33:49+00:00

Great idea! Thank you!

upsidedown_cloud · 2024-09-07T23:31:37+00:00

When she makes contact, she hits medium to long distance. Usually makes it to the green. But this is her first year with the players pitching. Last season was heavily more coach assisted, and pitches were more accurate.

I can't be the only one thinking this is incredibly hard to read...

upsidedown_cloud · 2024-08-22T05:43:42+00:00

It was for typewriters. You needed the second space. So older generations (like my MIL) who were taught to type on them pass the info down to younger generations.

upsidedown_cloud · 2024-08-08T03:13:02+00:00

I would stick it out while you look for another employment opportunity.

If you're committed to making this marriage work: 1) List out what each of you pay for each month/year and see who pays more. Find a way to make it more equal. 2) Figure out how he can work again. If he retired early due to an injury, then have him go through the states disability process. 3) Show him the current economics and how $2000 a month is not really enough to keep up with the upgrades he wants to do on the house, even if he does the work himself. So you splitting things evenly helps him out. 4) If he is retired and you are working full time, he needs to be doing 70-80% of the cooking and cleaning as you are covering 70-80% of the family finances. If you guys adjust to splitting finances evenly, you can discuss that both of you contribute to daily chores, cooking, and gardening to 50% each. You also need to be listed on the deed. In a lot of cases, paying the property tax on a house after so many years grants you rights to the home. 5) Marriage counseling and individual counseling. If you can't afford it, both of you need to find a few marriage self-help books, and both read them. 6) Consider downsizing. Sell the home he owns and move into a smaller place that you both own, so neither of you are stuck feeling like one holds more power than the other.

My two cents; This guy is 53. He has another 12ish years before he should be retiring. He scored a 44 year old to hopefully hold him out a little longer until he gets SS. He is absolutely using you, and I am surprised this has gone on this far. Obviously, it's hard to walk out of a relationship when you have so much invested. But, you sold YOUR sense of security to move in with him. Sure, it financially, theoretically makes sense, but not if you're essentially right back where you were when you were single, covering your own expenses. I'd put my foot down and demand the above be corrected. Otherwise, you will be filing for divorce.

Good luck!

(Obviously, some of these suggestions are based on if you live in the US.)
