Yep. It's always satisfying to leave a company and then watch them hire multiple people to replace your position. Especially when you see the job postings and the salaries for each is way higher that what they were paying you.
I left my job of 8 years before Christmas last year. The GM didn't even fight back about it, he just keeled over and let me go, so I figured I wasn't as valuable as I thought I was. Turns out since I left, the company has been losing money so fast that all the overtime they had has dried up, multiple customers have dropped them because of lack of product/sloppy production by the 3 new hires it took to replace me, and more people are planning on leaving as soon as they can because of the shoddy management team. They couldn't really afford to give everyone their bonuses we had all earned the year before so they had to get bailed out by corporate, who launched an investigation on why the branch is hemorrhaging cash but nothing is helping them. The damage I did when I left unexpectedly caused a snowball effect nobody could forsee, considering I was in an entry level position even though I was forced into acting like a supervisor and all my knowledge was never merited or taken into account for pay raises.
Years ago (1990s) I had a Pomeranian dog and a long haired tabby. Dog was $60 for full groom and quote for cat was $120. I complained, it's not fair, cat is so small, why so much, it's extortion! So... Attempted to bathe, de-mat and trim the cat myself at home. Two hours later, I was bloody, crying, shower curtain torn to shreds and perfume bottles on my vanity were broken on the floor. Whatever they charge to groom a cat, it's worth it. $500? I will pay. And if it's lopsided, I don't blame them. That said, only DSH cats for me now!!
Cats usually get put under to get shaved. Most can't be trained like a dog to sit still, act calm, and behave like a dog. The price difference was probably to put the cat under. My mom's calico is $160 every time and they will only do it twice a year for her because of the anesthesia coming into play.
The only reason to get a Lion cut for your cat is to remove excessive matting. It’s not really a cut that looks nice ever. Perhaps the groomer didn’t want to remove more fur than what was needed to remove the mats.
Idk, my mom's cat was born with a smooth tongue and can't clean herself so she mats up badly and has to be shaved at least twice a year, she's long haired. Her lion cuts always look phenomenal, the staff take really good care of her when she's there. They don't shave too close if they don't have to, and this mean ass calico basically turns into a lap cat the entire time her fur is short. Everything is always even.
It depends how much each coffee is. I'm able to save a couple hundred a month at 24yo. My rent each month is 2400 and a coffee is 2.99 so unless I'm having hundreds a month my income isn't really affected. It's very clearly the rent that screws me
All the people trying to push their ideas on how to manage money better are really trying to tell us how to be better at being poor. They don't get it.
My cat used to eat plastic bags if he thought I was late to feed him and that's what I discovered too. Obviously I limited his access to plastic. He tended to go for bread bags and Bulk Barn (a Canadian chain store) bags.
My cat Dippy will chew/swallow any sort of plastic he can get his mouth on. Not even water bottle wrappings are safe. He even will make little pockets of plastic in the house that he can go back to whenever he wants to eat some, so I'm constantly finding his stash of forbidden chewies.
People who drive well aren’t backing out blindly. Especially with a small car, you have to creep out to see what’s coming. And by the time you can look over and see, sometimes there’s a car there!
This is why I love my backup camera, and why I usually don't take my husband. Plus I always try to park right next to the cart area with my driver side door protected. Nobody can swing in and whack my door off, my husband's head isn't in the way (he always tilts back and blocks my entire view of my rear window) and my camera has a better view than me sitting in the seat. I don't care if the car gets some dings and scratches from carts, although it's a trax which usually means the cart rails cover 80% of it anyway.
PCP is definitely not something we want people on. I watched a dude go nuts on it for over an hour because he drank the wrong drink (meant to get an acid laced one, got them mixed up by mistake). That drug basically turns you super human and frenzied. Security had to tie him to a tree once his friends managed to wrangle him down, but it took 6 guys to do it.
This is what I do for my SIL who's got two under the age of two, even though she's all healed up and can do stuff herself. Sometimes we organize a room and come up with better methods to help her out, sometimes I tucker one of the littles out so she can get a touch-break, sometimes we do absolutely nothing and all she wants is company for a little while. I was doing this weekly, and plan to go back to that as soon as I can.
Yep, bra comes off at bedtime or just shortly before. I don't know how y'all can stand your nippage rubbing up on everything all willy nilly. I like my boobie armor.
The nipples become desensitized to most sensations after a while. I don't mind bras, also don't mind going without them. I'm DDD so it isn't like I'm small chested but I'm comfortable in just a T-shirt braless and eventually not everything sets them into glass cutting mode
I've had that experience once, it was interesting. Then for some reason mine started to get too sensitive and painful with a bra on all the time so I had to go braless to get it to calm down
You can tell which men haven't had the 2am ice cold full ass dunk because the seat was left up. It's happened to me so much thanks to my step dad, that I always look before sitting down now. Many extra showers were needed throughout my childhood because of that man.
It's so funny that people are calling out men for not doing something as easy putting the lid down but it's perfectly reasonable that a woman won't even bother looking? Lol wtf?
My cat watches me through the glass door like a creeper and then wants me to soak him down using the sink water. He will then groom himself while I do my own hair, and then demand to be combed out once I'm done. If we don't do this routine when he demands it, he's rude as hell to me all day long
This is definitely always a good idea, OP. Match up any unusual markings she may have to the pics, and ask about habits in a vague way too! I'll always know my SIC based on very specific markings and habits he has.
Ohioan, works here too, and takes less time. Usually it's about 30 minutes total from knee slap to closing the door, with most of that being talking as you walk them to the door with ten minutes of standing in the doorway before everyone leaves. If you're extra nice, you hang out the door to watch everyone get in their cars and fully leave the driveway.
Can confirm. My extra niceness is wearing thin as I age though, so I've started to throw in a fake phone call as they walk away so I have an excuse to throw one last quick wave and finally close the damn door, frantically scanning to see if they left anything so I can run it out to them and not be forced to let them back in and restart the process.
Do what I do and start a lost & found bin by the front door lmao If they forget something, I'm not opening the door again. It'll be here when they come back, and that's the only bonus of waiting in the doorway til they drive off!
I lost a gold ring my mom gave me when I was 14 that had one real diamond in it. I was at a birthday party for my cousin and put the ring into my goodie bag for safe keeping because we were worried about chlorine damage while swimming in the pool, and my aunt chucked the whole bag in the trash, ring and all.
According to my mother at least: yes. Just yesterday she told me I haven't truly grown up yet because I'm not a parent. I can't have kids of my own because of a medical issue that ended in a hysterectomy. I can't adopt because I'm poor. I'm going to be 30, and she believes I still have a "child like" sense of self that being a parent would change. To her I'm Peter Pan turned female, never able to 'fully grow up'.
Don't worry about me, I told her that if having kids sucks out all the child-like wonder I have for the world, all the curiosity and playfulness my husband and I share, then I'm glad I never had kids and never will. I also told her that her experience of parenthood sounds very dull and lifeless, and that I'm better off without going through that. I'd rather be a fun and happy aunt to my nephews than a staunch uptight parent to my own kids.
The Trax is decent in size and storage BUT I have a 2020 version, and am experiencing a couple issues. Either I need a new battery for it already, or the alternator needs work. At four years old that's not exactly ideal. Plus the backup camera has been going in and out, so at times it won't work until we shut the hatch just right and then it'll come back on randomly. I blame that on the fact that I accidentally backed into someone in the park I live in, when it was raining and our street lights were completely out. (I took fault for it, my insurance handled the other guy's repairs)
The comparison requires nuance though. I’m not telling them to take away what they want, which is the nicotine, im telling them to take away what they don’t want, which is the lung cancer and lung related diseases.
You do realize pouches can cause jaw cancer? My husband was an avid chewer and switched to pouches. He had to swap back for a little bit because it was damaging his gum line worse than long cut since he can hold a pouch for hours but can't with long cut.
Probably has some other form of nicotine addiction they started with like chewing or vaping, skipping smoking cigarettes entirely. So now they're on their high horse
I've met a flat earther, worked with him for almost a decade. He also believes the government is always watching and listening in on us through various methods so he absolutely hates computers (but loves his phone), that birds aren't real, that the moon landing was faked... The man is a walking encyclopedia of various conspiracy theories and logic doesn't apply to anything he thinks. On top of that, he's in charge of a shift of machine workers and can't do basic math, believes the triangle is the strongest shape so doesn't let anyone stack anything square if he can stop it, and thinks the printer will one day attack him.
OP is clearly NTA. I’m just wondering in what universe he would ever imagine he was?
Grief can seriously complicate things for families where a parent never gets out of it, they don't even try to move on through the stages of it.
Performing oral sex on a woman (as a man) is gay, because it puts you in the submissive position.
A dude in the male sub of questions once said the same thing. He got eviscerated for it. It was wonderful to watch tbh

Yeah, there's some missing info that apparently the OP doesn't know...wonder if we'll see an update soon?
I'm kinda wondering if the wife is telling him it's that high, and stashing some of the cash or using it somewhere

I can't get behind this though because heroin, PCP and meth are way too destructive. On an entirely different level. Not for consumption.
PCP is definitely not something we want people on. I watched a dude go nuts on it for over an hour because he drank the wrong drink (meant to get an acid laced one, got them mixed up by mistake). That drug basically turns you super human and frenzied. Security had to tie him to a tree once his friends managed to wrangle him down, but it took 6 guys to do it.
ngl sweet milk sounds pretty good
Almond milk tastes like sugared milk. It's delicious, and one of the few "fad" foods I like
They specifically said they were coming over to help, and then didn't offer any help.

Oof, I don't think mine can become desensitized. Even if they could, I don't think I'd want them to! I can get off with them.
I've had that experience once, it was interesting. Then for some reason mine started to get too sensitive and painful with a bra on all the time so I had to go braless to get it to calm down
You lifted it so you can put it down. It's not my responsibility to uphold your nasty habits when you could just sit down and pee.
You can tell which men haven't had the 2am ice cold full ass dunk because the seat was left up. It's happened to me so much thanks to my step dad, that I always look before sitting down now. Many extra showers were needed throughout my childhood because of that man.
It's so funny that people are calling out men for not doing something as easy putting the lid down but it's perfectly reasonable that a woman won't even bother looking? Lol wtf?
Child, not woman in my comment. A 9 year old is a child. And I said I learned to look.
My cat watches me shower in the danger box and then when I get out, he's all over me like he's making sure I'm ok.
My cat watches me through the glass door like a creeper and then wants me to soak him down using the sink water. He will then groom himself while I do my own hair, and then demand to be combed out once I'm done. If we don't do this routine when he demands it, he's rude as hell to me all day long
She's so pretty.

Iowa here. Yup.

I had a necklace from my grandma (RIP). It was a gold chain with a green heart at the end.
I lost a gold ring my mom gave me when I was 14 that had one real diamond in it. I was at a birthday party for my cousin and put the ring into my goodie bag for safe keeping because we were worried about chlorine damage while swimming in the pool, and my aunt chucked the whole bag in the trash, ring and all.
I was so fucking happy I didn't have a weird shaped head when I finally decided to live my truth.
I never thought about this but my one nephew already has his father's hairline and his head is oddly shaped... Poor little eggy
This made me laugh incredibly inappropriately in a hospital waiting room
I'm so glad it brightened whatever you have going on for a moment!
What about people who physically cannot have children? Do they just remain forever “immature” & selfish?
According to my mother at least: yes. Just yesterday she told me I haven't truly grown up yet because I'm not a parent. I can't have kids of my own because of a medical issue that ended in a hysterectomy. I can't adopt because I'm poor. I'm going to be 30, and she believes I still have a "child like" sense of self that being a parent would change. To her I'm Peter Pan turned female, never able to 'fully grow up'.
WOW. I’m so sorry you have to deal with that kind of judgement from your own mother
Don't worry about me, I told her that if having kids sucks out all the child-like wonder I have for the world, all the curiosity and playfulness my husband and I share, then I'm glad I never had kids and never will. I also told her that her experience of parenthood sounds very dull and lifeless, and that I'm better off without going through that.

I was looking at a Chevy for something more reliable and domestic.. change my mind please

I've never worked at a place that gives individual pay rises. When wages went up it was the same across the board
You're very lucky then. Lots of jobs give individual raises based on many factors like work ethic, production, and the worst choice: favoritism.
That’s not luck, that sounds horrible to me. To have MY wage based off of someone else’s effort?
You're lucky in the sense that you haven't had to go through it yourself. It's a soul crushing endeavor I'm glad you've been spared experiencing
I also have a Dippy! That's his actual name but we call him Squish or Dippasaurus
Thank you. I can really feel the difference with the fur, it’s much softer. Good food, less stress and a lot of petting is really helping
You should watch the anime on Netflix named Anna. She looks so much like that little daemon, it's adorable!! 🩷
The comparison requires nuance though. I’m not telling them to take away what they want, which is the nicotine, im telling them to take away what they don’t want, which is the lung cancer and lung related diseases.
You do realize pouches can cause jaw cancer? My husband was an avid chewer and switched to pouches. He had to swap back for a little bit because it was damaging his gum line worse than long cut since he can hold a pouch for hours but can't with long cut.
Where are you getting all of that if you haven't smoked???
Probably has some other form of nicotine addiction they started with like chewing or vaping, skipping smoking cigarettes entirely. So now they're on their high horse
Never met anyone who made such a claim. Have you actually ever met anyone who believe this? Why not drive them?
I've met a flat earther, worked with him for almost a decade. He also believes the government is always watching and listening in on us through various methods so he absolutely hates computers (but loves his phone), that birds aren't real, that the moon landing was faked...
