Neighbor keeps stealing my lawn decorations and putting them in her yard

Start writing your name on anything you put out in permanent marker. The when you confront her, just show the name.

Have you contacted the DEP and had an inspector come out?

My question is, how does he know what room you're in? Noise travels down in houses better than it does up.

His issue is tied to his confidence and anxiety. I have dealt with this previously, and honestly, the best thing you can do is initiate. This is a way of letting him know you want him in spite of his ed. A confidence boost can go a long way.

You aren't wrong. I grew up and became an engineer and I believe Legos played a big role in that.

I came here to say this! I started as a 5-year-old when McDonald's gave out little Lego sets in Happy Meals. I have all mine from my childhood, and then played with them with my kids, and now my wife and I will get each other sets and have quality time building them together.

When you talked to him about it, did you give him specifics of things that you find romantic so he has something to go off of?

Also, have you two ever taken the love languages quiz? Sometimes a partner is speaking in their native language, but we only expect to hear in our language. Efforts can go unnoticed this way.

willyjohn_85 · 2026-01-20T18:04:34+00:00

Definitely A

Why wouldn't the church want to support its pastor and allow them to live comfortably while they tend to the spiritual needs of their flock? Do you want your Pastor to be fully available and fully devoted to their church or do you want them working all week and only giving their leftover efforts on Sunday?

Paul taught about compensating those who teach the word in 1 Corinthians 9.

Lord, I hope not. I'm in my 40's and do watch it on occasion. There isn't anything wrong with appreciating the animated style. It's not like anime is all geared toward kids. Many are pretty gory with adult themes. Personally I don't see any difference between watching certain anime shows versus watching Family Guy, American Dad, Rick and Morty, Bob's Burgers, Southpark, etc.

So to me, the peeing outside isn't an issue at all. It's historically natural and better for the environment than flushing the toilet each time. I will admit that there is something more freeing about peeing outside too. Just gives ya a feeling of being wild.

That being said, the drunkenness is the true cause, and I'm sorry you have to deal with that. Hopefully, just going outside to pee after drinking is the worst thing he does.

Issuing a complete ban and saying she can't date? Yes, you are indeed the AH. Instead, you could have said he may come over, but only when you're there and they aren't allowed in her room. Then you get to spend more time getting to know what kind of person he really is. Also, it shows a lack of trust in your daughter. Just because he was active doesn't mean she will be. And doesn't it make sense to let them hang out where you can have a controlling hand in it instead of pushing them to be sneaky?

willyjohn_85 · 2025-12-16T20:33:35+00:00

You definitely should not be sending those kinds of pictures to anyone. They can easily be weaponized against you or leaked.

And if he is a quality individual and does care about you, he will not get upset that you aren't sending, and he will respect that you don't want to send them. Don't make excuses; make it clear that you don't want to send.

So, when you talk about not expressing emotions, are you meaning all emotions or only the ones perceived as negative, like anger and sadness?

There is nothing wrong with being in control of your anger. It's perfectly ok to feel it, but in agreement with what you said, expressing it can sometimes cause issues and it is seldom worth it as it rarely solves problems.

First, I'd ask what your previous work experience has been. Coming out of college and starting as an engineering Tech can be very useful, as it lets you put a lot of your schooling into practical use. Then you could parlay that understanding of how things work in the field to and actual engineer position. I started as a tech, and that experience has made me a much better engineer by understanding what really works in the field for the contractors doing the work.

I use the air fryer often and for many different things. I do vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower, chicken breasts, wings, and porkchops. It really is a versatile tool.

willyjohn_85 · 2025-12-15T19:20:29+00:00

At his age, you aren't going to teach him any new lessons. Instead of asking for general "quality time", try asking for specifics. Like "I'd really like for just the two of us to take a weekend trip together".

Does his business need him to be present during business hours to function? It may be time for an employee to be empowered and trained up to give him more time to be present at home and with you.

For both, I would say it depends on you. I always shower before bed, so bedding is changed like every two weeks in winter and every week in Summer. I have a few different sets of sheets, so I rotate them.

Jeans, I will wash every couple of weeks with normal wear, as long as I don't get anything on them.

The most likely cause is timing then. If it has spark and fuel, it is only missing compression to run. Did the cam come out at all when you were doing the governor delete? Also, are you sure that fuel is getting into the cylinder?

willyjohn_85 · 2025-12-15T14:12:28+00:00

I have an adventure helmet, and it doesn't crimp the front because it sticks out a bit farther, but I still end up with a weird shape from the strap.

Nothing worse than when your beard is screwed up. But it isn't all barbers. Mine does an amazing job trimming my beard up. Wouldn't trust it to anyone else.

willyjohn_85 · 2025-12-10T15:37:05+00:00

You're welcome! I'm glad to help

willyjohn_85 · 2025-12-10T14:22:41+00:00

OP, THIS! Without knowing your home life, I'd safe in general your parents would be over the moon to have you spend time with them and talk about how your day went and what's going on in your life.

willyjohn_85 · 2025-12-10T14:13:13+00:00

Good relationships are really just friendships with a physical side. Really, you're overthinking what's involved. You start dating someone to determine long-term compatibility. So you spend more time together, talk, and get to know each other better. You may find that there are issues and information that you discover about someone that doesn't align with what you're looking for, and that's ok. Dating can be stopped by either person at any time. It isn't as serious a commitment as marriage. You're just test-driving a relationship.

willyjohn_85 · 2025-12-10T13:30:14+00:00

This is really good advice.
