Got a great deal on my place thanks to the previous owners going through a nasty divorce. According to the neighbors all they did was fight and neglect the property until it was time to sell. Whatever contractor they got to redo the front lawn didn’t bother to use any sort of plastic layering so the whole place got overrun. Neighbor came out to thank me once just for pulling weeds, got the feeling he wasn’t used to even seeing that happen. When I moved in the mailbox had a label with their married name angrily scratched out with “NO!! ONLY <MAIDEN NAME>“

Some of the rooms were hastily slathered in white paint, including the molding and every nook and cranny of it. It’s that “I’m doing this because I’m obligated to. gently caress you” style you see in apartments all the time

Whatever contractor they got to redo the front lawn didn’t bother to use any sort of plastic layering so the whole place got overrun. yeah kinda same here, the previous owners were old as poo poo, so they weren't weeding or anything time consuming despite being retired all the time. so we had to rip up a ton of that invasive mock strawberry that was trying to take over everything, in addition to all the new trees that were trying to take root, esp those fast as gently caress invasive chinese silk trees. poo poo took weeks. neighbors were somewhat horrified at the big pile of mulch that a dumptruck had to deliver that took us a week to dissipate that mulching independence day weekend was apparently particularly tough because the front yard had a buncha beds covered in exposed broken down amazon box cardboard while they were trying to have a grilling day with guests. like yeah, that's the plan, your new neighbors want to cover all their front yard with cardboard, yep you figured it out. tbf after that week when the mulch all got spread out they chilled the gently caress out again, but yeah you'd think we'd had a car up on blocks in the front yard lol Fortaleza posted:When I moved in the mailbox had a label with their married name angrily scratched out with “NO!!

i counted more than 60 mirrors in this house when we moved in; apparently the previous owners were big into dung shui yards are literally a waste. they exist solely as a means of showing off wealth. we’re slowly converting all of our grassy areas to some kind of garden. we moved in during snow times. when it melted i noticed a piece of blue sticking out of the mulch in the backyard. it was a tarp; there were 40 tarps buried in the yard to prevent weeds. i removed them and we got a free ridiculous flower garden out of it, dozens of varieties of old flowers that the old lady who owned the house before the last owners had cultivated. i don’t get burying plastic. landscaping fabric will at least break down over time and not mess with water flows. as mentioned above you can kill a lot of weeds by denying them sunlight, then mulch on top and weeding maintenance is pretty easy after that.

I've used enough firewood that I've uncovered all the poo poo in my shed that got buried last time I had wood delivered. A surprising amount of it is antique glass I forgot about, that somehow isn't broken.

those outlets are setting off my ocd back a page or two, but having kids without being married in some way can really bite you regarding child support if you ever split up in some jurisdictions. it doesn't matter if you cohabitated and shared all of the expenses or were even the sole financial support, if someone petitions the court for child support you are automatically considered a deadbeat dad in the eyes of the law since you were never married and they're going to make you pay all the way back to when the kid was born don't have tens of thousands of dollars laying around? no problem, they'll find some way to wring the money out of you such as by revoking your drivers license, because obviously the best way to get people to pay debts is to take away their ability to get to their job

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:it's the people actively looking to get pregnant during a pandemic that are most baffling to me. yeah let's plan to undergo a process that can cause major, sometimes life-threatening complications requiring medical care, during a time when the healthcare system will be overstrained and where going to a hospital will be even more hazardous than usual! the last 6 months in this house have been a complete shitshow with our pre-covid plan to start trying this fall and my flatout refusal to even entertain that notion until some amount of vaccine will curb the looming catastrophe that is coming to our healthcare system. her respiratory system sucks and the idea that she either picks up covid from all the prenatal doctors visits or from seeing family, or has a critical need to save herself/child the resources simply are no longer there is completely intolerable but she was too busy huffing good lib vibes that this was all going to magically stay in control with masks in this country. took until november when she finally broke and admitted we're walking in to a catastrophe and waiting is for the best right now. absolute emotional devastation on a 3-4 week interval as her cycle would start up and once again prompt a discussion to which there is no resolution, was absolutely killing me

c w(fh) s: trying out a pomodoro style workflow for in case i get bumped back to (partial) wfh soon i.e. 5 min break, work 25 mins, repeat 4x more, then do a 35 min break, work for 25 mins, 5 min break, repeat 4x more, etc. breaks always start on the hour and half hour mark it’s wiggy but just enough to knock the crud out of my addled brain i wonder if i can keep it up even through the end of this week

for a long time I just wondered what was up with me not finding the energy or motivation to be productive but part of it is just that I'm not that interested in the work I have to do at times and I'm just not that good at tricking myself into doing it anyway anymore

All the cool stuff I was working on and motivated to do got yanked completely thanks to a missing feature we should've known about ahead of time. There's probably a way to do what we want but there's no way we would be able to do it. Lots of discussions with managers using the "not enough resources" euphemism even though it's a 10 person team, really beating around the bush that we as a team are too stupid and talentless to pull it off. Which we are :/ All the talented people left ages ago, it's just me and one other dude and we stuck around because we both moved out of SF but kept the comp so finding closer jobs with the same pay just wasn't gonna happen for a while. On the plus side I get tons of sleep now and have picked up a lot of satisfying time-consuming hobbies instead of logging into work in the morning.

but really, you almost certainly won't need to pencil in much of the calendar for "trying" - it'll probably be the first month immediately after dropping the birth control if it takes longer than that you're holding it wrong
