Philippine poems and short stories

I, 21F, have been with my partner, 23M for a while. Long story short, we’ve been having problems and I have started to go to my guy friend, his roommate 23 M, for help (stupid I know). I have since stopped, but I feel like I long for the roommates conversations more than my boyfriend. I’m doubting my relationship between my boyfriend, and he’s telling me I shouldn’t talk to his roommate anymore (I would have done the same in his shoes). I just feel super stuck. Also, I don’t have romantic feelings towards my friend, but again I want to talk to him above all people, but platonically. If this helps, I feel like if the roommate was a girl, we would have been best friends. However, he has said he would have had feelings for me if I was never with his friend (my bf), so I know it’s bad. So rn I’m grieving my relationship and my friendship. I think the messed up part is the fact that I’m hesitating on who to pick. Should I talk to the roommate about this? Leave him out of it? What do I do?

I been driving local usually 300 miles round trips for about 4 years with a 3 car wedge as a hotshot. I never had to use ELD’s .. I just started OTR with a new company and they gave me a Too tracking Hos device that I put on my trucks OBD adapter .. I plugged it in wenesday morning not thinking anything of it and I BEEN DRIVING AROUND getting my truck ready for work Friday morning ... I picked up my load Friday morning but it wasn’t going to be but had to Waite for another partial till Monday morning today.. long story short I just opened the app and realize my clock has been running this whole time even the 2 days I wasn’t even driving my truck .. can I just unplug this thing ??

This is my incomplete SVTFOE the movie script. Until my friend thomasmfd convince me to scrap it here’s my incomplete SVTFOE the movie script.
Star Vs. The Forces of Evil the forces of evil the movie The film with a song called Empire of the Sun Walking on a dream while the camera pans down on a mural with the credits rolling by and hits the floor showing a Blue man with a blue sword wearing a Space helmet and a orange Tee shirt with black spots all over his shirt. Who is protecting the Empress of the Sun Hestia look who has Red hair and Red eyes and wears a White Kimono with red spots. Just then a group of people wearing brown robes and white masks are led by a bald creepy dude with a Scar on his right eye. He approaches the throne and begins to speak.
The creepy dude My majesty My name is Bob and my group are a bunch of nomads who travel from World to world gathering intel and giving them to each kingdom and we heard rumors about Cataclysm prison weakening. And we would like to have your Sword Empress of the sun. So we can use it to defeat Cataclysm.
Bob walks up the steps before Cutie's sword hangs by his neck stopping him.
Bob What’s the meaning of this guard!?
Cutiesaurs: The name is Cutiesaurs or Cutie for short. Bob Okay Cutie. Why did you stop me!?
Cutiesaurs Because I don’t trust you. Besides, Shady people are always up to no good.
Bob It’s for your own protection so let me through. Besides it is rumored that The Sun Sword is the only sword left.
Cutiesaurs I don’t Care the Gods hid those swords for protection from thieves like you, including the Fable Mew sword. Besides, it appears you want to use the empress sword to find the other swords.
Bob Well you two figure out my plan already so I guess I have no option but to take it from force.
Just then Bob uses his magic spell to pull out his sword and he and his minions begin to attack. Cutie and Molly try to fight back but it is too much for them and get captured and Bob’s minions capture Hestia as Bob grabs the sword and glances at it.
Bob This Sword is a decoy. (Bob then shatters it with his magic) Minions drag Cutie to the Castle dungeon while carry Hestia to that special place)
Cutie struggles against the minions' control while they drag him to the dungeon. Cut to five years later and we see Cutie shirtless hung up in the dungeon walls shirtless wearing only his pants and a piece of cloth covering his head except his eyes. Then Bob and his cultist.
Bob Well Cutie it’s been five years and still you won’t tell us where the Real Empress sword is!
Cutiesaur
Like I said for the last five years I don’t know.
Bob Well Cutie. I don’t need you anymore. Not since I detected the Sword of Mew and we’ve set up a trap for the holder of the sword. So Now I will give you this radio to keep you comfortable. I’ve got a queen to catch.
Bob Leaves the dungeon and enters a room which is in some blackish glow surrounded with red hue. At the floor is a star shape enclosed by a circle on the floor. There Bob stands at the edge and raises his hands which then begin to be turning a metallic silver. He begins to wave his hands and a Star shape pattern begins to have a pinkish water swirling around it then when it clears out we see Star Butterfly at the center of the Star pattern.
Bob Hello Princess My name is Bob and you have something that we need. (Bob then materializes some mask’s then drops them on the ground where mud surrounds the mask’s then the mud raises the Mask which then forms into humanoid shape).
Star Butterfly I’m sorry but this Wand isn’t yours to keep.
Star Shoots a Rainbow energy beam at Bob but he blocks it with nothing but his bare Metallic hands.
Bob I’m impressed that the sword has a few tricks up his sleeves. But I’ve had a few tricks up my sleeves myself.
Bob then shoots a sliver beam at Star and pulls out a golden butterfly from her chest and places it into a jar.
Bob I’ve taken your powers. If you want them back, give me your wand. What do you say Star?
Star Butterfly I say Narwhal blast. A large Narwhal appears and slides down destroying many of Bob's minions and then pinning Bob to a wall. She then runs away from the room.
Bob After her she must not escape with that sword.
Star flees Bob’s goons and hides in the dungeon where she begins to hear the song Always look on the bright side of light she follows the sound to a cell where she see’s Cutie hanging from the wall.
Cutiesaurs Hi there little girl, what brings you to this dank little dungeon?
Star Butterfly I’m hiding from a man and his goons who want my wand.
Cutiesaurs Oh Bob yea he wants that wand since it’s the Sword of Mew.
Star Butterfly The Sword of Mew?
Cutiesaurs Let me get out of these chains and find my helmet and shirt and find a safe place before I can explain everything
Cutiesaurus tries to break his chains but with no success.
Star Butterfly Need help?
Cutiesaurs Yeah sure just blast those chain’s
Star uses her wand to blast the chain off of Cutie
Cutiesaurs Thank you… Um I haven’t gotten your name.
Star Butterfly It’s Star Star Butterfly.
Cutiesaurs Why thank you Star. I’m Cutiesaur’s but people call me Cutie for short and I’m the royal guard of the Empress or was before Bob and his golem army took me and put me in this dungeon. Now where is my shirt? Cutie searches everywhere for his shirt until Star shows him his shirt and grabs it and puts it back on.
Cutiesaurs Thanks Star. Now I need my Helmet.
Star Butterfly Why?
Cutiesaurs Because it protects people. Because I was born with a face that is so handsome that it melts people's faces. You wouldn’t want to see people's faces melting. It's nasty.
Star Butterfly Eww. But anyway I think I saw it over there at the bench.
Star points to a bench where we see Cutie Helmet. He then grabs it and puts it on.
Cutiesaus Thanks Star Now we need a plan.
Star Butterfly Um would that involve these guys.
Star points to a group of humanoid creatures wearing black cloaks with hoodies and pale white masks.
Cutiesaurs Looks like the plan is to fight. (He pulls out his blue sword) It’s a good thing this sword is bound to me and no one else.
Star Butterfly I would like to help but that Wizard Bob just stole all my powers.
Cutiesaurs Except for the Sword of Mew
Star Butterfly I keep hearing that my Wand is a sword. How is this possible?
Cutiesaurs You must focus, be one with the wand and think of a burning blade.
Star focuses on it and her wand turns into a burning blade with rainbow fire. She then uses it to defeat Bob's minions.
Star Butterfly Wow this is incredible I didn’t know my wand could do that! How did you know!?
Cutiesaurs It’s a long story but we need a hiding spot and I know one. Follow me.
Cutie drags Star to a long forgotten cellar.
Star Butterfly Wow you sure know your way around the castle.
Cutiesaurs I like to walk around the castle patrolling it in my spare time and also reading books. Which is why I know that wand is a sword that is a key to one of the locks. Of a prison
Star Butterfly What Locks?
Cutiesaurs Let me explain. Long ago before you before me before the kingdom of Mewni before time. Three gods and three goddesses appear. They created the rift then they created time then they created the universe then gave life to them. They taught each creature in the multiverse how to care and love and respect one another. However for order there must be chaos and chaos took the form of Cataclysm. He corrupted everything the gods and goddess did, undoing their work. So they fought back; the battle lasted a thousand year with the records of the events being lost though a few survived. After Cataclysm was weakened the Gods and Goddess locked him up in a prison out of space and out of time. With their own swords. They then gave the six swords to six universe’s. The Sword of Retro, The Sword of the sea, the Sword of sweets, The Sword of reality, The Sword of the sun, finally the Sword of Mewni. They form the kingdoms around the swords. But sadly over time the kingdoms lost knowledge of their past and swords. Except for two. The Kingdom of the Sun saved knowledge of the past and the kingdom of Mewni kept their sword safe. Which is why that wand you have is important; it's the last known sword that prevents the unleashing of Cataclysm.
Star Butterfly Wow I didn’t know my wand was a sword. But it still doesn’t explain how Bob managed to steal my butterfly forum. With some strange magic power.
Cutiesaurs It’s called forum splitting.
Star Butterfly What?
Cutiesaurs Forum splitting it’s a spelical spell that splits someone with transformations and turns their transformation as a spirit. We used it to cure someone from their Werewolf forum.
Star Butterfly Oh. Because my butterfly forum is important to me.
Cutiesaurs I’m sure it is Star.
Cutiesaurus begins to leave Star behind.
Star Butterfly Where are you going Cutie?
Cutiesaurs To find my Empress.
Star Butterfly Don’t you mean queen.
Cutiesaurs They both mean the same thing.
Star Butterfly Okay you’ll do that while I find some help.
Star pulls up her scissors but when she tries to use them they begin to crack and then turn to dust.
Cutiesaurs By the way, scissors are useless in the kingdom of the sun.
Star Butterfly (talking to herself) Great, I can’t get to Mewni or Earth now. Those scissors are my only escape. But maybe Cutie knows another way.
Star races to Cutie
Star Butterfly Hey Cutie I was thinking we can team up to take down Bob.
Cutiesaurs I prefer to work by myself. But thanks for the advice.
Star Butterfly (with her puppy dog eyes) Please!
Cutiesaurs (staring blankly) Your puppy dog eyes have no effect on me. Now would you excuse me? I got a queen to save.
A Cutie walks away Star Butterfly gets a idea
Star Butterfly You said Bob is looking for the six magical swords.
Cutiesaurs And What are you getting at?
Star Butterfly Well we can do what I forget.
Cutiesaurs A barter?
Star Butterfly Yea a barter.
Cutiesaurs By getting the four other swords by doing a trade for the empress then we use our might together to defeat Bob and kill two birds with one stone! I’m such a genius.
Star Butterfly Yes you are so how are you planning on getting to the realms?
Cutiesaurs I have a ship. In an old hanger.
Star Butterfly But how do we get there?
Cutiesaurs Well I know the secret paths around this old castle.
Cutie pulls an old touch handle but discovers it’s the wrong one and then pulls the right one. Which reveals a path which Cutie enters and Star follows behind. It leads to a rusty hanger with a giant shiny red space ship with jet engine thrusters and a jet pilot cockpit.
Cutiesaurs Behold the Gummi ship the most advanced ship in the kingdom, well the only one since all are now scrap. It took me 13 yea… (Notice Star biting the ship) Star what are you doing!?
Star Butterfly You said it’s a Gummi ship and I thought it was made out of gummi’s.
Cutiesaurs I called it the Gummi ship because it looks like it’s made out of gummi. Not made of Gummi.
Star Butterfly Oh. But how would this old thing get us where we are going?
Cutiesaurs Well it takes us to the rift.
Star Butterfly The Rift!? What’s that?
Cutiesaurs It’s like a highway. Star Butterfly What’s that?
Cutiesaurs (I might be too smart for her) It’s where a group of car’s go very fast like a road.
Star Butterfly Oh like a shortcut?
Cutiesaurs (sarcastly) Yes, much like a shortcut. (sarcasm ends) Anyway The rift used to be how one person got from one realm to the other. It was the world that was between realms. However with the invention of technologies and how certain realms like our Kingdom of the sun here isolated themselves. The Rift was no longer used and ships were turned to scrap. Well before I came along and fixed this baby up. Let’s go inside and take a tour and start this baby up.
Cutie and Star enter’s the Gummi ship
Cutiesaurs This ship has everything we need for our trip. It has bed’s and a guest bed for passengers. (in case it was an overnight trip.) A dining room, A kitchen for cooking food, A fireplace. A bookshelf with books throughout the realms is my favorite and finally the cockpit with an autopilot so the captain can do other things and it has a comfy seat with cup holders. It has everything to make you feel right at home. Any questions?
Star Butterfly Yea where is the kitchen sink?
Cutiesaurus then bang his head on the controls
Cutiesaurs I knew I forgot something. I guess I add this on stuff to add to the ship along with weapons. So let’s start this ship up.
Star Butterfly By pressing the big red button. (Star looks for the big red button) where’s the big red button?
Cutiesaurs Yea I did not add one since I don’t want people to be tempted by pushing a big red button. And besides, I don't want to discard myself when I start up the ship. And besides that’s not how you start the ship. (Pulls out the keys) This is how you start the ship
Cutie inserts the keys while the hangar doors open and the ship hovers for a bit before bursting into speed and opening a hole to the rift. But not before Bob and his minions race to the hanger seeing them fly away. The camera fades while Bob quietly makes a grin on his face. The screen then pans to the Gummi ship flying across the rift. Inside Star and Cutie figured out what to do next.
Star Butterfly So um Cutie do you know where the swords are?
Cutiesaurs Well legends say that one of the Swords will reveal the next sword. And since your sword is the only known one I think we’ll start there.
Cutie leads Star to the Bottom of the ship
Cutiesarus This is the map room. Well the only one that functions since this is the only ship that can travel across the rift. Since I have that ship I will navigate our course to where the next sword is.
Star Butterfly How are you gonna to do that? Since you have the knowledge and I have magic.
Cutiesaurs Correct Star but I have an idea. If you cast magic on your wand then it should act like a beacon. That only the swords will hear pinpointing its location. Thus selecting the location and flying to grab it. Any questions?
Star Butterfly Yes, one. I didn’t know Bacon could do that.
Cutiesaurs (Talking to himself) Sometimes I wonder if my kind is too advanced for people who look like they didn’t pass the middle ages.
Cutiesaurs No it’s not. After this read my books. Just use your magic
Star Butterfly I’m gonna create puppies that shoot laser beams.
Cutiesaurs I was thinking of dynamite with a laser beam but your idea sounds fair enough. (Though I must give someone a box of puppies when we land. Because one puppy is enough for me to handle for me right now.

Looking for a very short story that I read in middle school, author was a man I believe and had a website so it’s not that old.
The main character was a girl who had an old woman name, and she lived with her mom who I THINK was a weird, shut-in, religious type? Her mom wasn’t very relevant though

• On the way to school(?) she gets stopped by a group of kids, girls and boys, and they’re smoking which she disapproves of and tells them off. they make fun of her and I think one of them makes a burn mark on her scarf
• At the end of the book they all go to a frozen lake and someone walks onto it and falls, and it’s an ambiguous ending as to whether she help them out or not. It was one of the characters that tormented her

Hello! I’m entering a small local short story competition but i haven’t really written like this in years. I was wondering if there was anyone here who’s more experienced I’d be able to send a copy through to who would be happy to edit/give feedback? I’d be happy to flick you $20 and buy you lunch in return! :)
Cheers!

Long story short, I had some pretty bad side effects from atomoxetine, and my pysch has instructed me to wait until my symptoms have cleared until trying sometime else (coming off the medication got rid of my imposter syndrome which is a plus). With the meds I was able to kick my alcoholism to the curb (and I don't really want to starting drinking again to essentially self medicate. Did anyone have luck with CBD/medicinal Cannabis etc?

Long story short, my friend’s father moved to Canada long ago and lived there for like 10 years becoming a Canadian citizen (passport holder and all).
My friend’s father was already a citizen when my friend was born but this is where it gets complicated: he was born outside of wedlock (his father had another wife) and in another country.
Is there any way he can get his citizenship? He is very close with his father so if he needs to help in some way he will do it for sure.
I’m posting for him cuz he doesn’t have reddit and google hasn’t been very helpful as there’s contradicting information. Thanks in advanced!

Hi all,
So I have lived in Boston for 3 years now and figured its time to move. I began searching for an apartment and got overwhelmed. I decided id try to get a real estate agent to help on my behalf. Figured it would be less work on my end... not the case
​
However, I found an agent through a friend of a friend. I signed this "Rental Brokerage Fee Disclosure" Its the basic rental housing association rental brokerage fee disclosure.
​
Few weeks go by and she has only sent me Zillow listings that I could have easily found. Now I was under the impression that they would have some other listings then on the main apartment hunting website. Something along the lines of apartments that they themselves manage.. I have went on and had to schedule my own tours and done my own work because they haven't really been much help.
​
​
Long story short. I want to end the contract, however there is nothing in the 2 page contract that says anything along the lines of cancelling.
​
Is there a way to do this without paying a fee? Am I stuck with this person until I find an apartment?

I've already spoken with my neighbor. She doesn't notice or pretends not to. She's a renter and is currently staying in a hotel while her place is being remodeled on the inside.
Long story short she let a toilet leak into the floor for years and it finally rotted the wood and fel through. When the landlord came in to fix the problem he has also been at work replacing a sink, hole in roof, leaking shower into floor below, rotted drywall and that's what I he told me. He also mentioned she's a hoarder and it was disgusting to be in there.
The contractor has a window open with a fan constantly blowing air out of the house. It's the same rancid smell we as neighbors always smell when she has her AC unit exhaust attached to the window to vent outside.
Due to the nature of the reno situation going on I feel now is the time to help her out or take action on our front with outdoor fans, Tiki torches and whatever else will combat the smell. Maybe it's dangerous but it's definitely uncomfortable. Guests and delivery people comment on it each summer. I want our outdoor area to be inviting and pleasant.
Any suggestions?

So I (24F) was in a relationship with a guy (26M) for 2.5 years. It was a very rocky relationship, but for a while I viewed him as a soulmate. We were friends before the relationship, we got along very well, and we’re generally very comfortable with each other. But he was dealing with a lot mentally. He was addicted to cannabis for years, and alongside anxiety and depression he had a hard time with discipline. He was unemployed for most of our relationship, making poor decisions, continuously breaking my trust (not in the sense that he cheated on me, although I did find some things I did not want to see, but he never followed through on promises). I felt like I couldn’t rely on him. We communicated about these issues many times and nothing came from it aside from gaslighting on his end, and resentment on mine. I knew his potential, and I truly believed he could do better for us but it just never came. So 3 weeks ago I ended the relationship, and it was the hardest decision I’ve ever made.
I was coping fairly well after a while. The plan was for him to move out at the end of May with his brother. And I was so tired of everything by the end of it that I was actually excited to be on my own for a bit. But yesterday he wanted to talk about some things, and I agreed. Long story short, he is a completely different person. And I mean it, you can just tell. He admitted to all of his faults, and told me what he was doing to repair his life. EVERYTHING I had been trying to get through to him before finally had. He’s been sober for a month (and enjoying it). He has a job, and has a better outlook on life. He truly seems like a different person. And now he wants to rekindle things.
Now I don’t know what to do. When I look at him, I do still see the face of the person that hurt me continuously for 2+ years. But now I also see the person I’ve been begging for that whole time. And although the loss of him was devastating in it’s own way, I was excited to be on my own. People always talk about how healing being on your own can be, and how important it is for growth. I feel like I lost myself in that relationship. But now he’s better, and he put the work in to be what I needed him to be. But now I don’t know if I love him the same anymore. I am so confused. I also worry that I won’t find another person that I get along with so well. What if I actually leave and it turns out he was the person for me? But what if I stay and it’s not as fulfilling as we hoped it to be? Do I take him back?

Hello enfp female here, I think I developed a crush for a enfj male
When I met him he was seeing a girl and I did not even saw him in a romantic way, we became friends, the fling he had with the girl stopped, and the more the months past the more attracted I start to feel towards him, we spent multiple weekend together with friend and we have often have activity we do together during the week, I don’t have a problem holding a conversation with him even for hours and he makes me laugh and I make him laugh, the slight problem is the insecurity I have with my self. Long story short, I had a bad experience with a guy growing up that left me traumatize and scared of intimacy , so even with a first kiss with someone I might start panicking and have a full panic attack, despite the fact that I am conventionally pretty I have many insecurity and a problem with the skin of my body (wich no one would tell when I’m dress) and we are literally (for the life we live) surrounded by model type girls.
Anyway, I know male enfj tend to have many female friends and I knew I was probably in the friend zone, last weekend after we spent every night of the week doing something together (with other friends) we ended up being the only two left at this club, he was really drunk, being super touchy and at some point I was hugging in order to not let him falling down, and he started kissing my neck and sucking my cheek as if he were to kiss me and I kind of freeze because of my problems and as soon as he was close to my mouth I Just told him, “not like this”. He turned around and ask me if I could keep a secret and he told me he was going to a concert with this girl we both know (she is oh so beautiful and nice and educate, and sporty but elegant at the same time, and she feels like the sun) I asked him what was the secret and he told me, he knew he probably shouldn’t go, since she was not THE one really.
He was so drunk he kept the cycle of asking me “can you keep a secret” and telling me the same thing about the girl all night” I menage to get him out of the club and let him sleep in my spare bedroom. At around noon I left the house, he slept in.
I went to his place at around 19:30 after he had just left mine, because he had my keys and he said he never blackouts drunk and wanted to know what happened, I told him everything, except the sucking on my neck and cheek, and we spent the rest of the night opening up, at around 01:00 am he let me understood it was late, and I started to try to find a taxi on the app, he took his guitar out and started to play music on it, the apps for the taxi kept on not accepting calls, and I became to be visibly frustrated, he told me there was no rush, but I was mortified, at the fourth time I was rejected by the taxi app he said I could spend the night at his place, but he did not have anything comfortable for me, I said no, because I was feeling like I was imposing my presence (it is though the third time he offers me to sleep at his place), in the end I found a taxi and went home, we are still in contact, but he is going with this girl at this concert, and while we were talking the second night he said, “I’m not saying I like her, but I’m intrigued”, and he read their text conversation to me, wich was static and nothing like ours, while we where talking we also touch the argument of some boy I talked to during the winter and he asked me if I kept in touch with him, we also talked about many other things, also we laughed about the fact that for a while I thought I had a crush for his bf, he was surprise to know I had met him just a week before I met him, nothing came from that, because his friend just saw me as a friend and we laughed about the situation, he also told me a story about a girl he thought was crushing on the friend many years ago and he ended up kissing her instead. When I went home I found some flowers at my place, As I said he had slept in the guest bed and made a mess and try to make everything nice while staying there all afternoon while I was out. (BTW it’s not a big deal for me receiving flower, I loved them and every guy I know knows it)
Now I have so many details to share if you have questions, but the main one is, how much am I in the friend zone? And how do I get out of it with an enfj?

Alright, so in a campaign I'm in I'm playing as a Beast Master. Long story short, we had an experience with a storm elemental and now my wolf is a lightning wolf. But, my DM and I are having some trouble with figuring out when and how he'll get extra powers from it. He's started out with resistance to lightning damage, and eventually we want him to be able to change his damage to lightning damage, have a lightning-flavored hellish rebuke reaction, and a lightning breath weapon. My DM wants my character to have to train my wolf, we're just unsure on how long that should take. Any suggestions?

Hello all. I could certainly use some guidance and/or support. Here’s my story..a couple of months ago I had a very minor outpatient procedure. The procedure lead to the development of multiple blood clots in my leg and lungs. I was subsequently prescribed blood thinners which was supposed to be a 3 month treatment. During my recovery, I developed a blood clot in my artery. The treatment plan to follow was a switch to a new blood thinner. Shortly following the new plan, it was discovered that I have a congenital blood clotting disorder. This has changed the course of treatment entirely. I am now on an antiplatelet/anticoagulant indefinitely (as in for life).
Of course, the major question is, how is this going to affect my career? For reference, I’m just shy under 1 year of service. Is it possible that I will be referred to the medical board?
I can’t express my level of anxiety over the past few months, and sadly it’s escalating. I just don’t know what to do anymore. I feel so defeated. Please tell me I’m overthinking and there is still light at the end of my tunnel!

Hey guys! I'm pretty sure this is lost media as I have been unable to find anything about it. Don't completely understand the tags so I hope i did it properly!
I remember as a kid (I was born in 2004) watching a dvd or vhs (more likely to be a dvd) that had disney princess short stories on it. When I think of it, I think of the Enchanted Tales movie but I know that was only Aurora and Jasmine as even the Aurora and Belle one was scrapped. There was an Ariel centric plot line and the main thing I can remember is her underneath a dock at a small beach? I believe that maybe Sebastian or Flounder was there and needed help? Not entirely sure about that. I know this isn't much to go on, but it's what I remember and I haven't been able to find it anywhere. Nothing shows up for it on the Disney Wiki or Youtube or any social media I've checked. I really don't think it was a sing-along because I remember there being a plot with a moral and the animation style was much better than The Little Mermaid TV Show. I really believe this was around the gold dress era of the Disney Princesses. I don't know if I somehow had a DVD of something that was not widely released or something that was not documented well or what. I'm sorry if this ends up not being lost media, but this seemed like the best place for this.
Thank you guys!

Bit of a follow up to a couple of weeks ago. My friend was asked verbally to move out because the family was moving in, never got the proper paperwork by the deadline… I’ll try to make it quick:
She got a phone call last week asking if they were going to be ready to leave by June 30th as agreed verbally. My friend explained all the stuff that you guys helped us with and the LL said she would write a letter. It was explained that a letter isn’t what’s needed, that it has to be the proper form with 2 months notice, so they agreed verbally on July 15th (Supposedly her family is arriving and needs the place after their air b&b is up in the middle of July so the 15th was perfect…) and the papers would be delivered by May 15th. Then a call came a couple of days ago. There’s a surgery someone in the family needs so she’s going to be overseas for a while and won’t need the house until next year. Hmm, ok…
So now they want my friend to sign a new lease for 1 year from when the old one runs out (June 30) with a 3% increase. Seems ok, but long story short, does a lease renewal still require 3 months notice for an increase or is the lease the notice? And is there any reason to actually sign a new lease or should it just go month to month like the current lease says? Any risks either way? Thanks again for previous and any new help!

TW: Death
I'm just writing this to get it off my chest and rant. I've mostly healed from it, and have been working through this in therapy. I still have a hard time journaling so I figured this would be a safer place. I'll be showing this post to my therapist so maybe we can delve deeper into it.
I have been NC with my nmom for three years, and was LC for a year before that. None of my siblings are full contact, two are LC and one is NC. Anyway, the one thing that I wanted to share here is the time my dad died. I was extremely close to my dad, it's why I called him my dad even though he wasn't related to me by blood or marriage. He was actually my godfather. To make this story short, I found out that he died three weeks later when his neighbor sent me his obituary after I was wildly confused why this neighbor was apologizing for my loss.
This isn't the first time this has happened, I wasn't notified of my grandmothers passing and had several pets that died while I was at school or on the court ordered visitations I had with my bio-father. The time with my grandmother, her house had bio-cleanup crews and her neighbor called me, to go check on her because nobody else in the family ever checked on her.
My dad hit the hardest though, not from a mourning perspective but from a "What the actual fuck" perspective. I already knew that his time was coming to an end and had prematurely mourned him, this was seen as horrific to my nmom. My journals were read and I was grounded for texting his phone for the last time, due to that premature mourning that I had happening. I was 14 when his health declined and he was paralyzed, they put him in a care facility and nobody ever saw him. I did once, you could tell that he wasn't coming back.
I was 19 and moved out when he officially passed and his neighbor sent me the obituary. "but the title "Dad" was his favorite. He lived for his daughter, (My name). She was his bliss, his pride and joy." That's what got me, my dad gave me the name that was written in the obituary. He wasn't able to have kids of his own. At the end, they had an address for his celebration of life, and the neighbor offered to come with me. The neighbor is my mom and worthy of that title, she let me stay with her when my nmom kicked me out and my dad was hospitalized.
We went, her daughter also came with. My nmom was there and our conversion went just as smooth as you would expect,
Nmom "How did you find out?"
Me "(neighbors name)"
Nmom "Did you like that I mentioned you?"
Wtf am I supposed to like that the only person who kept me sane while living with nmom died?! This isn't a popularity contest. Who cares that I was mentioned. I started crying, and squeaked out that she could've at least told me. We left soon after the neighbor got done yelling at her. It's astonishing that she could put me in the obituary but not message me, or my other siblings to tell me. She knew how much I loved that man, he was the one present for everything in my life. He took me swimming every week, he taught me to ride a bike, he would pick me up from school, he wrote "I love you (name)" with a giant heart around it for me in the snow so I could see it while recovering from a brain surgery in the hospital. He made me who I am, and the countless times I heard "you love him more than me" from her proves that she knew.
Or the time she pulled my pants down just to shove snow in them and pull them back up, and her response to me crying was that i'd be laughing if my dad did it. No I wouldn't, i'd be even more hurt because I'd trust him to not do that to a 10 year old child. She knew, and used it to her full advantage. Part of me thinks that she was jealous that her previous relationship with him didn't work out and so they just stayed friends.

Throwaway account. I have a large friend group of 12 at my college. We are all members of a Dungeons & Dragons club that we run. My ex friend (32 F), who I will call Jane for this post, used to run the club. Now they are harassing us and are very awful. We kicked them out permanently from both the club and the friend group. Am I wrong for wanting to abandon a friend?
Jane apparently left the club by stepping down from president, gave the position to another friend, and left. Jane said we were bullying them, that we made them feel like shit and not appreciated. We all thought that was so weird, given that we normally are a very caring and considerate group of people. We are constantly supporting one another, so we were very confused. A friend (I will name them Nicole) caught me up to speed after hanging out one night. Nicole cried in my arms, feeling so hurt by Jane after she said insanely hurtful things.
Cut to 1-2 weeks later, Jane is personally harassing members of the group online, and even got their own friends to harass us. They have tried to come back (which we refused given they were unwilling to apologize), tried to disband the club, and try to get students expelled. I also found out Jane has tried to sabotage a relationship since they had feelings for one of them after being rejected. Now, despite having already graduated, they continue to come to campus to openly talk trash about us in the cafeteria when we are only two tables away.
Last week, we had a meeting with the administrators of the school after Jane told them we were to blame for everything. The admin took her side, never asking us our side of the story, and disbanded our club since we refused to take Jane back. During the meeting, Jane played the victim as well as egotistically said “Guess you all hate me.” After the meeting, we all vented, cussing her out (she wasnt there). Some of us would prefer we permanently disband the club just to never take them back. They have caused us so much stress, we don’t want them back. I wish I never met Jane.
After everything, we learned that Jane had multiple relatives die in a short amount of time. They had clearly been going through intense emotions and grieving. I feel guilty for berating them after I found out. I feel so awful for saying hurtful things when they were processing deaths in quick succession. Am I wrong?

Hello, sorry if I'm posting in the wrong thread but I don't have anywhere else to go. I don't know if I'm reading the situation wrong/if I'm the crazy exaggerator so here I wanted an outside opinion.
For context, me and my sister were raised by my single mom, who is also an immigrant. My sister has classified my mom as a narcissist and an abuser, and I would definitely agree that she has narcissistic tendencies, they're pretty much in line with the "immigrant parent" experience and although the abuse has lessened with age.
My sister was pretty much the scapegoat and I was the golden child 80% of the time; the only time I was "the problem" was when social issues were involved as I was very much autistic+ADD and had no idea how to relate to others, so I was bullied and blamed for it. My sister has ADHD and was terrible at school, which is where a lot of my mom's anger towards her came from. She's very bitter about the majority of our childhood, which I understand; there are things that happened that I will also simply never recover from, even with therapy.
My sister is bubbly, charismatic, and very empathetic. I can't stress that enough; everyone loves her. She's friends with random people in our neighborhood, she talks to and befriends homeless people, and is training to be a social worker. She has many close friends and talks to them all day and night. Our relationship was pretty rocky when we were kids, and I can't say that we're as close as some siblings are, but I always thought our relationship was okay. My mom would sometimes complain that we were against her, but I think she was just frustrated that we wouldn't turn on each other easily. However, I did start to notice a few things about my sisters behavior that is concerning me.

• She has a victim complex/hard time doing anything important by herself, but only when I'm available to help/do it for her.

I think this is a consequence of her never being trusted to do things as a child, but I thought she would attempt to get better with age. Nope. She would ask me to fill out her student loan and passport forms, saying that she was scared to get things wrong. When I would try to get her to do it herself, she would get upset with me and call me selfish. She says that this is because she feels that she is not smart enough to do anything bc of her childhood; fair, but she's 22 now, so I think she should try to help herself out and try to build confidence. She now pays her friends to fill out forms for her; one of them is actually being paid to apply for graduate programs for her. Any mention of this makes her talk about how badly she was treated as a kid and how its lead to her being so scared of doing anything, so OF COURSE she needs help 24/7.
But at the same time, she goes out of her way to help other people with their paperwork; she even helped a coworker get into grant/loan program for university, and that paperwork was 10 times harder than what she has to fill out. It's very confusing, it makes me feel like she does these things so people like her.

• She hates responsibility.
  I feel like this is her being self aware that she's sort of useless. For example; she doesn't have a credit card, and just uses my moms/mine and pays us back at the end of the month. Recently, I asked her to stop using my credit card since she kept forgetting to pay me the right amount. She also had this habit of using my card as a form of revenge against me if I forgot to pick up her things during my grocery run (she can't drive). She would also threaten to use my card if I didn't do things for her (she said it was a joke, but it rubbed me the wrong way). Anyway, she got upset and said she needed my card for emergencies. I asked why she didn't just apply for a credit card. She said she was unsure if she would be responsible enough to manage a credit cards and make payments on time. But...she felt comfortable using MY card? The one that I have to manage and make sure payments are made on time? I explained how worrisome that was and she just told me I was crazy and controlling.
  

This has also steeped into how she approaches things like deadlines. She missed a deadline for a grant she really needed (twice) and spent an entire week emailing the grant team asking them to accept her application, and then emailing their bosses when they refused. Whenever she's rejected from graduate programs she's always confused and says she should've gotten in, even though there are some clear deficits in her applications.

• She is always telling me how bad of a person I am when I don't do as she says. Like, morally.

A good example I can think of is that she asked me to chip in $23 for her friends birthday; I was confused why I had to pay since the girl wasn't MY friend. My sister argued that since I had talked to her and liked her, this made us friends, and friends contribute to birthdays. She also said if I backed out then she would have to split my part over other people who I would consider to be my friends and that those friends were in tight financial situations, so I would be a shitty person for making them pay extra. I still refused to pay; this really had nothing to do with me. She just looked at me and said that she was surprised that I was such a shitty person. There are similar stories to this; whenever she wants me to do something and I refuse, she makes me out to be a horrible person. Not in a yelling/screaming way; she just comments "oh, never knew you were that shitty" and keeps it up for however long it is until I do the thing she asked for. for some reason I never really saw them as weird until I brought it up with some friends and they said that was messed up.

• She makes fun of/belittles me in front of her friends constantly, but gets upset when I do it back.

^pretty self explanatory. a lot of my sisters friends really like me; I think they see me as a big sister, and a lot of them are in similar situations/career paths as me. They're all very nice. My sister and I are very snarky towards each other, but she is especially mean to me in front of her friends. I'm not 100% sure what she says either; she tries her best to make sure I'm not around much when she's talking to her friends, going out of her way to make sure to exclude me from any plans she makes even when her friends want me to come. She also enjoys rubbing the fact she has friends/plans that I can't join in my face. I'm usually quite busy so it doesn't bother me much, but I have noticed it. she also tends to try and be mean to me in front of them as a joke, but if I snap back I can tell that she gets upset about it. She's asked me to not call her things like stupid in front of her friends (fair, she can be super sensitive about that), but has told many of them about my ASD without my permission (she only asked when they let it slip that they knew). So that's weird.

• she is always switching up the narrative.

this is the thing that makes me feel INSANE. she is always telling me how horrible she has it at home and how much our mom hates her, and how I will never understand how it feels to be her so it's unfair when I call her out on things like not doing chores (like she does to me) because she will always be scolded more harshly than I will be. that's fine, a little grace is fine, but then she'll just outright lie about how "great" she is. For example, in the summer my mother was gone, so we split the chores in the house. I work a lot on weekdays, so she was to take care of general upkeep, and I would do the heavy chores (taking laundry to the laundromat, cooking in bulk for the week, mopping and vacuuming the apartment) on the weekend. I noticed that she would often not be the best at this, but as long as I could fix it on the weekend it was fine. But if I ever messed up, she would be merciless; she refused to wash the dishes for a whole week because I couldn't do them on Sunday since I had extra errands to run that weekend. I brought this up to her and she said we split the chores and that was that. I pointed out that she wasn't keeping her end of the bargain either, but she told me she was simply too busy to keep up with all the work she was being given and that the chore split was unfair anyway. I didn't really know how to deal with that so I dropped it.

• She sets boundaries, but I can't.

There are more issues but I will leave it at this one for last. She has always been very vocal about setting boundaries with me and my mom. For example, we can't give her chores last minute or it messes up her schedule (even if she's doing nothing). She's also really big on talking issues out, but usually the talk just keeps going until we agree with whatever she's saying. Personally, I am the type of person who gets really short and petty when I'm angry, so its not a good idea to talk to me. She will INSIST on talking to me even when I want to shut the conversation down and say my refusal to talk is just proof that she's right and I'm wrong. But if I talk, the conversation will just repeat itself until she gets the answer she wants out of me. She's very good with therapy-speech as well; to be honest, she always sounds condescending when she argues with me or my mom even though she says I'm just projecting. I could be, but I don't hear it when she's arguing with her friends or in online classes.
I'm probably being very one sided here, but whenever I think about some of these issues it just reminds me of my mom in a way. I've survived my mom by just nodding along and waiting for the storm to blow over, but my sisters actions are much more annoying to me for some reason. If anyone has any input it would be appreciated. I don't want to think I'm living with 2 narcissists; maybe I'm actually the problem. because of my ASD I find it very hard to communicate my feelings and I tend to shut up or become very mean and short at random times. I try my best but I do need to work on using my words and making sure they can't be used against me.

Long story short I’m out 4k, because I was a victim of fraud. I reported it and filed a claim and they gave the money back so my account can be at 0 again, however any money that goes in goes towards the repayment.
What are the consequences if I just ignore that bank account and not pay it back lol? I don’t know anything about these things.

Hello.
I (33f)have the CPTSD Ive known about it since a 2012 and have struggled since then to get treatment other than ssris. I recently had a mental health flare up and have finally found a therapist that I like. I lot of this have been coming up in therapy where my therapist thinks I should be kinder to myself or stand up for myself. I’m not sure because I’ve been trying to do so but it’s not seeming to work.
My husband works for himself/ works from home/ teaching himself to run a business for the past year. We live in hcol I work full time and pay for our health benefits, (he has an office in the apartment and we still split rent 50/50 (when he has the money to) and pay for all household goods and groceries (unless he is working and he will pay for half) I do most of the large purchases, car, insurance vacations, electricity and water and cell phones and he has the internet. He had liked to live month to month while trying to work as little as possible. I enjoy being with him when he has time for his own pursuits and he doesn’t like 9-5 life so I’m very happy with him not working as much as I do.
The thing is, is that he has been telling me that I don’t do enough, or that he doesn’t ask anything of me, or that I don’t spend enough quality time with him. He doesn’t like that I spend time after work reading or listening to audio books, scrolling Reddit or watching Tv. He says that he wants to see me being productive. He talks about how I need to have more productive hobbies. Like instead of reading, writing, or if I’m reading, blogging or reviewing it. He wants me to go on walks. He says I’d be less depressed if I did more things. He calls the time I spend in the evening mindlessly scrolling and said today that all the time I spend on my phone I could be spending with him. My screen time average is 2.5 hours/day. I’m pretty sure he thinks I’m just wasting my whole life away, it makes me think that he thinks very low of me.
This past year he wanted to start having dinner together at the dinning room table every night. (Like we are “supposed to” It’s been hard for me to rally for them. We would fight because I have a hard time eating without relaxing first and I would be so keyd up after a long shift he would get upset that I wasn’t appreciative. It took a lot of conversation to get him to understand that I need that wind down time before I can face dinner and conversation and real life again. I hurt my back and was unable to sit at the table so he has been understanding about sitting at the couch. After dinner and watching a show together he gets upset if I get on my phone when he goes in his office to work. He wants me to spend the time more productively. On my phone I read and listen to audiobooks. I read 5-6 books a month usually. Sometimes more if they are short stories. Idk how to explain to him that I like reading and it helps me relax. I suggested we read the 5 love languages book and he bought it which made me so happy, after he read it he said he excelled in all the love languages and that it was me who didn’t know how to speak his love language. What am I supposed to say to that?
He does most of the daily household chores ie dishes and laundry. I’ve told him in the past that if he paid for part of the electricity and the health insurance I could afford to get a cleaner. When I was in school and working part time I kept a better house but it’s a lot harder now because my job is stressful and mentally exhausting. I thought the cleaner would solve the issue. He doesn’t think we need one but gets upset that I can’t keep up with half of the duties. Dispite the fact he is home 24/7 and I’m only home in the evenings. Sometimes I work up to 14 hour days. Also, some days I need to be in bed. I give a lot to my job and I thought to was worth it to keep our lifestyle going weather he is actively working or not but now I’m hearing that the only thing I contribute is money and that it doesn’t count because he is going to pay me back.
It’s still hard for me though because I always have to make sure I have the money because I never know if he will be able to contribute or not. I don’t really want to work a bunch either. I am also just a work enough to survive kinda person.
The biggest issue I have is that I don’t think he respects me. Because how could you have such a low opinion of someone you respect? Why does he keep saying that I don’t do anything or that he doesn’t ask anything of me. How can he love someone who doesn’t do anything? He says that he is just trying to better me but I’m okay with myself. I’m not perfect but I’m not bad.
It’s true, I’m depressed and love to get cozy in the couch for hours at a time while listening to an audiobook and scrolling Reddit . I do clean on weekends that I don’t also work. I do the dishes twice a week and vacuum and clean the toilet every weekend. I do the litter box every other month. (It’s the crystal that get changed monthly) I buy the cat food and we split feeding them unless I’m working. I don’t do the dishes daily though(I get depressed with the endless daily tasks) I offered to buy a dishwasher because I had no problem doing that daily but he didn’t want me to spend money on it. I prefer to do larger weekly tasks because it’s hard for me to have the energy daily. I don’t like to cook after work so I’ll order us dinner or pick groceries that are quick meals. This is not what he considers healthy though and prefers to cook us healthy meals.
To me this relationship is me finding compromises and him finding reasons why I’m not doing things right. I am trying my best but I just feel like it’s never enough.
Am I crazy for being hurt by his attitude towards me despite him saying it’s to better me? Is my depression and laziness after work making me a bad partner or is my partner not being understanding of my needs?

Long story short, I ordered a retroid pocket 2s from their website in April. A month has passed and silence. I emailed them and they told me to wait, they'll have it shipped next week. Next week passed already, I emailed them again if there's a problem since I've been waiting so long. And instead of a response I get my refund.
Wtf. Retroid pocket blows. Sorry, just ranting.
Anyone else had a bad experience ordering from their site?
