Also, a huge percentage of drug tests(no matter who/why/where is testing) end up busting people who smoke weed occasionally, since weed is fat soluble and hangs around way longer than coke/opiates/amphetamines. I’m opposed to drug testing in general(unless it’s DOT or other critical safety occupations) , but I’m really opposed to loving with people for previous weed use. And I don’t even use cannabis, it makes me paranoid.

Ugly In The Morning posted:I do drug tests for safety sensitive jobs and on the ones I’ve done weed has the second-lowest positive rate (behind only PCP, which I have never had a confirmed positive for). It may be a demographic thing (traveling construction workers), but I saw positives for cocaine, amphetamines, and opioids at way higher rates. Well, the highest was on alcohol, I’m 99 percent sure, but that’s all on paper so I can’t really search it. No poo poo, that surprises me - the two jobs I held that brought me into contact with pre-employment drug tests showed an overwhelming bias toward weed positives, almost 2 to one over all other drugs(on a standard 5-panel test). This was for mechanics, so, like you said, it might be partially demographic.

Beachcomber posted:Husband needs to adapt, but I do feel a little sympathy for him. I am a loud talker, and I get louder when I'm excited about something. My wife absolutely hates it, but I have no idea how I could retrain myself to speak more softly.  I’m a mechanic and have spent 30+ years yelling across noisy shops at co-workers, so it’s difficult to shift gears, so to speak. I’ve gotten good enough to recognize the expression on my GF’s face that says ‘Jesus Christ, you’re loud’ and turn down the volume without having to be told. Most of the time

I can’t imagine actually debating the ‘house vs. my son walking again’ conundrum more than about ten seconds, and it would take me about ten more seconds of my fiancée whining about it to kick her straight to the loving curb. I ‘d live in a cardboard box if it meant my kid could walk by it on the street.

Dude should be glad for his bro. The few years I spend doing dope with my big-tittied goth GF were, by far, the most fun I ever had in my life. The aftermath was a bit rough, but gently caress, you can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs.

Jeep-gift-dude is a goddamn grade-a idiot. His girlfriend told him what kind of car she likes, he didn’t have to guess. Honda Fits are reasonably cheap, have an amazing amount of interior space, extremely reliable are relatively fun to drive and get great gas mileage. Jeep’s, OTOH(and I have much experience with them) get crappy mileage, aren’t particularly reliable, can be a PITA to get in and out of, depending on a person’s stature(and any lift/tire combo) and aren’t particularly fun to drive on paved roads at all. They aren’t easy to load, and unless it’s got a full hardtop, are terribly insecure. He wanted a loving Jeep, and rather than buying one for himself, foisted the loving thing off on his GF as a gift. We chuckle at the ‘gifts are a form of aggression’ saying, but ‘gifts are a way of buying what I want and pretending I’m generous’ is a real thing. \/\/\/ that, too \/\/\/ JnnyThndrs fucked around with this message at 12:31 on Feb 11, 2021 |

That’s awesome, if I had to drive one of those, I’d want that paint job. A work buddy of mine has a beat-up Smart car he commutes in, and he installed a giant wind-up-looking key sticking out of the hatch. I chuckle every time I see it.

I could barely spit out the phrase between laughs, and now she’s laughing in the other room. I ♥️ SA.

I just hit that milestone sooner than most kids. Exactly my experience. And when you’re a little kid in school, and everything you’re taught is in books, being able to read faster/easier/at a higher level is a monumental advantage. Then everybody catches up to you, and ……

wizardofloneliness posted:That dad is incredibly lame for getting so wound up over this. "I'm not going to be disrespected in my own home!", give me a break dude. I don't get how someone in his situation doesn't see that they're giving the other person the exact reaction they want. Just laugh it off and move on or pretend you can't hear him unless he calls you dad. Why would you choose to escalate something this minor? It's pretty obvious why the mom does not have this issue. This, exactly. My son never did that when he was going through the teenage rebellion years, but if he had, no biggie. The worst thing you can do is to let the kid know it bugs you.

Mx. posted:AITA for pissing off my HOA by making an ugly fence to stop a creeper? Although I can’t see an HOA being able to dictate poo poo to a non-HOA home, I would think there are city and/or county regulations which might apply. For example, my city allows six-foot fences around the back and sides of a house, and you can put another 18” piece of lattice or other partially-opaque material on top of that. The county’s rules are very similar.
