I was guessing some kind of hobby that requires space and a lot of tools and parts, you know, one that it would be annoying to drop and pick back up later. That way there would be some kind of issue and purpose in posting about it

this ain't that

I was absolutely thinking like stained glass or woodworking or a normal god damned hobby

Not that

What is it about nurses dating people like this because in my experience it's not uncommon for them to be dating/married to people who are unequal partners (in the sense that the nurse works harder/pays most of the bills in the relationship/their partner works some part time job)

"Oppositional since birth" set off some alarms in my head. It's a fuckin baby. They aren't opposing you.

Also I feel like people who know about ODD and people who use ODD to say "my child isn't perfectly obedient" would make a nearly circular Venn diagram.

Thanks for all the shower/tub/toilet tips folks. I'm gonna try some comet powder stuff, and maybe get a squeegee for regular maintenance. (and mostly not worry about it too much because hopefully I won't be in this apartment much longer, but it would be nice to normalize some better habits before I get into a new place)

Wondering what folks opinions are on this one, especially in light of the paternity test conversation earlier.

I feel like there's something missing because it doesn't make sense that everything is hunky dorky and she just randomly decides that she needs an emergency fund one day and stashes money away

when my parents were on the rocks (which was most of my child/adulthood!) my mom took me to the bank one day to open a checking account for $1000 so she had an "emergency fund" in case she had to leave my dad, so maybe I'm colored by that experience but there's a lot that's being left out of this

The cast list on this one makes it seem like we're about to read a Shakespearean comedy with 7 different leads with various romantic entanglements with each other, but that's really not what we get.

Help. Polyamory is ruining my (28 f) friend group (25-32 f/m/nb)

Also, because it took me a second to figure out: Brett is not OP's best friend, Alice is. She just wrote that line poorly.

i'm sorry but if you're showing the cast list before even getting into the play itself your situation is way too convoluted for anyone to understand outside of the people involved in it

Based on the website he must have gone for the most expensive ones which are "Full Day ‘Yarak’ - £139pp" or "Private Falconry Tuition - £150pp per day for 3-5 days" or "Group Falconry Courses - £400pp for 4 days or £500pp for 5 days"

So I'm estimating a range of maybe £417-£1500 based on signing up three people. For a family living paycheck to paycheck that can indeed be quite a lot.

I have the feeling it's the lower end though as the site describes it as "A bird ‘in yarak’ means they are in peak condition both physically and mentally, making it a formidable hunter. The day gives you the most in-depth look at the work of a falconer on a day to day basis." and the wife described it as meeting "top owls".

Perhaps it's just a front and he's a vampire wanting to meet the superb owl?

lmao the descriptions of the birds are amazing

"He is very easily distracted and loves watching planes, he has even been known to fall over backwards as planes go over his head, this wouldn�t be such a problem if he didn�t live under the Gatwick flight path. He is the naughtiest of our owls and will consider flying if there�s nothing more interesting going on elsewhere, still, we can�t complain, because the one day he did decide he was going to do everything he was asked to, he did it at the O2 in London, where none of our other birds of prey were at all inclined to do anything because of the life-size, roaring dinosaurs that were peering over at them, though that was probably because he couldn�t see planes."
