Gathering thirty bedsheets is not exactly an easy task, okay?
Normally, Orion didn't see any problem in buying the stuff others need, especially if they would reimburse him later. But the fact was... he didn't have enough money to buy the sheets AJ had requested.
When the boy had taken a look at the Hermes Express product catalog, he hadn't imagined that ALL the sheets they sold were made with wool from Polyphemus' carnivorous sheep. He wondered how Hermes managed to take so much wool without the cyclops noticing. Until he remembered that the monster is INFAMOUSLY blind and, well... Hermes is the king of thieves.
So, Orion didn't have the money to buy so many high-quality sheets, and he was... less than thrilled to leave the camp to buy them from some Bed Bath & Beyond. So how is he going to solve the job he accepted for AJ?
By breaking the rules. In a less... messy way than he already has experience with.
The cleaning harpies are not the friendliest monsters, even though they have to deal with campers 24/7. But amazingly, they won't deny a little help with their chores from time to time. In fact, it's very easy to get those dodos unaccostumed with their own job if you offer help more than once. And that's how Orion gained access to the Big House laundry room.
Did he have to get his hands dirty and wash a lot of clothes? Absolutely. But now that he was "responsible" for cleaning, softening, scenting, and folding the campers' sheets, he was in the perfect position to swipe one, two, five, maybe seven sheets at a time. It took a while, as you might imagine... But Orion had time and, above all, patience.
Orion would spend that afternoon stacking thirty-five bedsheets, stolen right under the noses of the cleaning harpies, on the Apollo Cabin porch. Could this cause problems for him later? Oh, no doubt about that.
But honestly... the feeling of a mission accomplished made him feel better. It was a nice distraction, after all.
He knocked on the Cabin 7's door, hoping AJ would be the one to open it so he wouldn't have to explain to one of her siblings what he was doing there with so many bedsheets.

Alright, let's get it out of the way already. Considering how Sadira's own mental had been going in the last few months with all the problems she has been dealing with, one should question if making herself available to solve other people's problems was a good idea. And well, you would be correct being worried about it.
Camp Half-Blood had been relatively peaceful as of late, no conflicts that where Sadira had to intervene at all except for some incidents here and there, and well, it was not like people were coming to her anyways. At least, not as the Mediator. Which, in hindsight, is a very good thing. Camp was already chaotic enough without conflict and drama, petty or serious, but still, it did make her feel... a little useless... and like she wasn't doing enough with her position.
This combination of things is what made the daughter of dreams decide to open her mediation once again. Sure, depending on what kind of services people ended up needing, sye might even regret this, but hey, it's her job. As long as certain people didn't show up, everything would go smoothly as far as she was concerned. Assuming people actually showed up, that is. If there was something Sadira had learned I'm her time as the Mediator, she knew there were a lot of people in camp who didn't really talk about their problems, but admist all the new arrivals at camp and such, surely there would some people who needed someone to talk to.
Once again, Sadira re-used her signs and plastered them around camp, advertising Sadira's mediation services, which reax
"Is something or someone bothering you? Do you need any sort of advice? Are you looking for an unbiased opinion? Or just someone to hang out with?
If yes, come to the Oneroi Cabin and talk to Sadira Andersen, the Camp Mediator!
Don't want to talk directly? That's perfectly valid! Feel free to ask for advice through the Advice Column, if you prefer
STRICT CONFIDENTIALITY GUARANTEED!"
Sadira, as a person, generally preferred to talk to people outside, where there was fresh air and and people could feel less restrained and more relaxed to talk, but considering the nature of her services, it wasn't the best idea. Which is why she decided to use the Morpheus wing of Cabin 41 instead. It was calm, relaxing and cozy, and she lived there alone anyway. It had worked before, so there was no reason that it would not work again now.
Once the campers in need arrive at said cabin, they'd find the Morpheus door unlocked, and Sadira would be inside, sitting in a comfortable chair with another comfortable chair in front of her, with a little table in between for snacks and drinks, just in case.
Now she just had to wait and see, and pray that nobody decided to make her life difficult for no reason, unlike last time.

I’m in Mass and I purchased the lot next door to my home. I’ve been here almost 4 years and the camper has always been there. The VIN plate is missing and I would like to get a title for it because it does work and I’d like to fix it up but I don’t want to do that until I actually own it.
How do I go about getting a new VIN number?
TIA

Pill Poacher. What do I do now???
I've commented on a few posts, but this is my 1st actual post. Canadian 53F
Hold on for a long ride.
I've had arthritis since I was a teenager. I tried not to take painkillers early on, as I know it can be a vicious cycle of having to increase the dosage all the time. However, I've gotten to the point of no choice anymore. The pain makes me cry when I wake up and that's with the ever-increasing dosages. I've had 3 joint replacement surgeries (L Hip, R Knee & R Shoulder) and require the other 3 surgeries, not to mention, my spine is full of arthritis and degenerating discs. So my pain meds are very necessary.
A little more background (Sorry).
So I live in a basement apartment (I have a chairlift). Last year, I had new neighbours move in. They seemed like a nice couple and offered to help me out when I needed it. I was paying them to help clean and such, but I stopped when I found I was paying for them and not much was getting done. Not to mention that they owe me money they borrowed (I know, I'm stupid) and their half of cable (for the last year!!!). Oh and I'm letting them drive my car right now, because I can't yet and I didn't want it sitting. I know, I know.
So in February, I noticed that I was missing pain meds, a lot of pain meds. I was lucky my Dr was understanding, but I still got shorted about 10 days out of 60 days, as I had a 2-month supply. I couldn't accuse anyone, because I couldn't prove it and maybe I did make a mistake (but I was sure I was right). Anywho, that made me have to go through a total reverse shoulder replacement surgery without my proper meds (not a happy camper).
On to the other day. I was supposed to have an appointment with my physiotherapist and I guess I messed up the date and asked if my neighbours would pick me up. I got home and I noticed my pill bottle wasn't how I left it and there was a pill on the floor. I lost it. I called them and said I want them back. They didn't even deny it, just put the little bag they filled and said, "Sorry, I hurt my back". I said, "First if you did hurt yourself changing my sheets --I have a really hard time and they are using my car-- you could have at least asked". Then I looked around and realized they still had a lot more of my pills. So I said "The rest or my keys back". They gave me another handful, but I know they have more.
I'm sorry, but where do you get off, stealing someone's medication? I'm sooooo beyond pissed, but worse I'm hurt at this entitlement. I've done so much for them, to be treated like this.
What do I do now???
Edit: I think I fixed the formatting. Sorry about the mix-up.

CantBelieveThisIsTru:
Get your keys back, or better yet change the locks because pill thieves don’t stop….they just keep on. And I would get some type of cabinet that locks!
Did you ask them: “Why didn’t you go see your doctor and get your own pain meds?”
The answer is probably that they don’t really need them, but are taking them because they are pill heads. Some people will take anything, which is why there are people who OD after buying a pill off someone, and they don’t even know what’s really in it. They may also be selling your meds, and that could get you in trouble for not keeping them out of their ability to access them.
Also, you really need to file a police report, just in case someone gets sick taking your meds. They can just as easily say: “OP GAVE ME THESE MEDS! And since you never reported the theft, you could go to jail.
Charybdes:
I'm guessing they're all this person feels she has. If she is truly in the state she describes and has no one to help, she's kinda stuck...Getting old can be pretty scary.

OP: Thank you. Yes, I am stuck. I moved to take care of my Mother. Unfortunately, my health declined rapidly after she died. I now rent the basement of her old house from the new owner. By the time everything was settled from her estate, I was left here alone and the only person I have is my sick daughter 3 hours away.

OP:
Ok, well I know I got a lot of flack. Yes, I did report it to the Dr and the pharmacy, but without proof, I didn't want to involve the police. Plus I want my money back! If they're in jail, they can't work. I've already told them, that they start paying their 1/2 of cable or I'm cancelling it. They have access because this was a house, divided into 2 apartments. So if I want cable, they get it too. I'll have to figure something else out. Also, I have a door with a latch, but it's remained unlocked because I did say they were helping me. It's very hard and very expensive to get someone in to just change my sheets. I'm trapped because if I cut them off, I'm stuck.
No, I can't afford to move, even though I'd like to move closer to my daughter, who was just diagnosed with MDS which is a form of blood cancer and needs a transplant sometime later this year or early next year.
I have some hard decisions to make. It's just fueled my depression more.
I find I always attract these kinds of people. I'm too caring and too trusting.
Yes. I have hidden my meds a keep them with me when I go out.
Update:
***Update: Pill Poacher**\*
Well if you've been following the adventure, I had my confrontation a few minutes ago.
I'm a heartless old bitch for asking for my cable boxes back as well as my car keys.
Ok, so here's what happened: I got a phone call from my neighbour, stating they were at Subway and did I want a sub on them. At first, I said yes, but then what I wanted wasn't available, and between the call of: "Would you like a sub", and the second call: "They don't have that, do you want something else?"...it clicked, that they were driving my car, which they were only going to use to take their kid to school. I said, "No, nothing thanks". My daughter was on the other line and said, "Get your keys back now".
I waited until they got home and then I texted, "I assume you're in my car, I want my door latched and my keys back". Well the door wouldn't latch, but the landlord's coming tomorrow. I got my keys back. I had asked the husband to latch the door and he said "Oh, now you want help from me". I said "Yes, because I don't want you to be able to come down." Of course, it wouldn't latch, but the snarky comment pissed me off.
So this is where I got nasty and said "I want my cable boxes and wifi and phone back". I got, "But we were splitting it". I said, "Splitting it means both parties pay". Now I'm the monster that took wifi away from his kid.
Now the guilt trip..."All the things we've done for you for free". I said "Free??? With the $2700 I'm going to have to eat and everything you stole, plus what, car rental...how is this FREE???
Anyway, the landlord is coming tomorrow to sort things out and fix my door. And he's selling at the end of the month. He's recommending me to the new owners. Hopefully, I won't have to move, because I can't afford it.
Thank you everyone for all your comments and advice. I'm shaking right now and the future looks scary. I'm broke and was counting on him finally paying me back. With my daughter being so sick, it really sucks right now. I'd love to move back home to be there for her now. Does anybody know where to post a GoFundMe campaign for a cancer patient in need?
Stressed to the core now, been up since 3 am after a 2-hour sleep. I wish this would just go away.
Thanks and take care. Will update if necessary.

Murky_Tale_1603:
...Also, if your door isn't locking properly, it might be a good idea to block it with a chair, or something that you can move easily in case of emergency, but still maintain your safety until the landlord is able to fix.

OP: It opens into their apartment, so all they have to do is pull. I have my cane if needed. My landlord is a cop, so I'm going to let that play out.

REMINDER: I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL POSTER. DO NOT HARASS THE ORIGINAL POSTER OR COMMENT ON THE ORIGINAL POST.

I'm a solo car camper and pasta with sauce is boring. My primary set-up is for backpacking and heating up MREs on my micro stove and tiny pot but my larger stove and dinky frying pan comes car camping so I have more options. I can also put my mini fridge that connects to the car cigarette lighter if I sacrifice car space (a true luxury of being solo and it stays cold if I leave the door shut with the engine off!).
So far, fried potatoes with sausages. Pasta. Rice. Fresh veggies/fried veggies. Soup. Supernoodles. The less horrible packet pastas.

Most of us walk every day (“hot girl” style or not), but how much strain could it be putting on our bodies? If you’ve ever walked a long (or even long-ish) distance in the wrong shoes, you know the answer.
After extensive research and analyzing features such as cushioning, arch support, traction and heel drop, I have created a list of best shoes for women to walk, run and do other activities.

Best walking shoes for women 2024:

1. Brooks Ghost 15 (best overall)
2. Skechers GOwalk Joy (best budget)
3. Hoka Arahi 6 (Best ultra-cushioned walking shoe)
4. Vasque Hiking Shoes (best for uneven terrain)
5. New Balance Fresh Foam X 880v13 (Best shoes with arch support)
6. Chaco Z/1 Classic (Best walking sandal)
7. Camper Niki Boots (Best stylish boot)
8. Adidas Ultraboost Light 23 (best for heel comfort)
9. Feiyue 1920 Fe Lo - Ivory (low-profile walking shoe)
10. VenusCelia Comfort Walking Flat Loafer (best loafer)

Brooks Ghost 15 - $110

These shoes are extremely stable, with a grippy outsole, for both speed walks and less intense jaunts along smooth and uneven surfaces. The cushioned EVA foam midsole absorbs shock during the heel strike (when your heel hits the ground), should you also do higher-impact aerobic stints, such as running. Overall, there’s little activity you can’t do comfortably in the Brooks Ghost, and it’s the shoe I now wear most consistently among all the ones tested.
The Ghost is equipped with a curved insole to reduce arch stress—which is great if you suffer from sore tendons, are flat-footed or stand for long periods of time. The Ghost also has a firm heel counter (the part of the shoe that wraps around the back of your ankle) to hold the foot in place and prevent over-pronation, or rolling your ankles.

Skechers GOwalk Joy - $50

These slip-ons from Skechers provide value way beyond what you might expect from a $50 price point. These shoes include an Ortholite insole, as well as a solidly cushioned midsole that can keep you comfortably upright for hours.
They’re lightweight and come with an extra padded heel for comfortable walking. The breathable mesh and insole also make for a lightweight shoe and the fact that they’re slip-ons makes them extra handy for getting out the door quickly.

Hoka Arahi 6 - $197

The Hoka Arahi 6 is a standout shoe for those needing stability. While not overbearing in its corrections, I found it super-comfy and fun to run in. It’s also one of the lighter stability shoes out there which is always great. With mild improvements over its predecessor, the Arahi 6 is a really nice option for your new daily shoe.

Vasque Hiking Shoes - $80

If your walks are taking you off-road (or off-sidewalk), a walking shoe designed for trekking through uneven terrain may be best. These low-top hiking shoes are designed specifically for walking and are our favorite women’s hiking shoes. Stephanie Harper, an outdoors enthusiast based in Asheville, North Carolina, reports, “They’re lightweight and form to your foot without risking stability.” With a waterproof membrane and thick rubber soles, the shoes will keep your feet dry and on stable footing in inclement weather.

New Balance Fresh Foam X 880v13 - $132

The 880v13 model is made with a 3% bio-based foam, derived from renewal resources, which is helpful for reducing the impact on the environment, especially since sneakers are an item that you have to frequently replace once they have worn out.
If you have arch issues, or flat feet, the 880v13 is padded to deliver support in that area, with a 10 millimeter heel drop that alleviates pressure so your foot is on an include, and not resting in a flat position all day. The uppers are made from a breathable mesh, which ensures your feet don’t overheat in these sneakers. I found them airy, lightweight and very responsive during my longest walks. The only negative is that collar, or opening of the shoe where your foot slides in, comes up quite high on the foot, which can cause some rubbing.

Chaco Z/1 Classic - $80

The American Podiatric Medical Association has recognized every model in the Z/1 series for promoting foot health. Undoubtedly, the comfort and support they provide for walking comes at least partly from their simple design. Matt Schonwald, a certified ski-mountaineering and avalanche guide and founder of BC Adventure Guides, recommends the Chacos specifically for their lack of extra features: “I do not like bells and whistles — they usually cause blisters, fall apart, or just underperform.” Paul Ronto of RunRepeat says the grippy sole is heavy duty and dense, giving you “confidence that your feet will grip on to the slickest surfaces.” And while the sandal’s design is pared down, Chaco also has a fully customizable option so you can choose everything from the logo badge to the sole to the footbed.

Camper Niki Boots - $210

The Camper Niki Boots offer a stylish blend of comfort and durability, making them a versatile addition to any wardrobe. Crafted with high-quality leather, these boots feature a unique, contemporary design that stands out. The cushioned insoles and robust soles provide excellent support for all-day wear. However, some users may find the fit slightly narrow, so consider sizing up if you have wider feet. Overall, the Niki Boots are a solid choice for those seeking both fashion and functionality in their footwear.

Adidas Ultraboost Light 23 - $140

The Adidas Women’s Ultraboost Light 23 stands out as the best walking shoe for heel comfort, thanks to its exceptional cushioning and responsive Boost midsole. These shoes provide excellent support and shock absorption, making long walks effortless and pain-free. The lightweight design and breathable Primeknit upper ensure a snug, adaptive fit while keeping your feet cool. Ideal for those with heel discomfort, the Ultraboost Light 23 combines innovative technology with sleek style, making it a top choice for comfort-conscious walkers.

This is the second half of my list for Oklahoma's execution roster. As mentioned in the first part, I broke it in half to comply with reddit's character limitations. For the link to part 1, please click here.
The currently executed 124 offenders, cases 63-124:
63. Robert Knighton (~1960s-2003, lethal injection): In 1973, after being released from a 1968 armed robbery conviction, Knighton went on his first major crime spree. He stabbed and strangled several men and women during many robberies and home invasions. The only victim that was killed, 32 year old Coffier Day, was shot dead while Knighton was arguing with him in his home. Coffier's father, 53 year old Claude, was also injured in the shooting. Knighton's first crime spree ended when he kidnapped a married couple and their 6 year old daughter. They escaped when the wife and mother of the family attacked Knighton with a knife to protect her husband and daughter. The family then notified the police of their abduction. Knighton managed to secure a 30 year manslaughter conviction and a 10 year armed robbery conviction with a plea deal, and was released to a halfway house in 1989. There, he began dating a female addict and befriended a teenage boy. The trio embarked on a nationwide robbery spree together. In Missouri, they shot and killed 59 year old Frank Merrifield and his 40 year old stepson Roy Donahue while robbing their home, and stole guns and money from them. In Oklahoma, the trio fatally shot a couple, 64 year old Virginia and 62 year old Richard Denney, while carjacking them. Their rampage ended when a woman in Texas grow suspicious of them circling a neighborhood. Knighton had a long history of theft convictions dating back to his childhood, and joined the Aryan Brotherhood in prison. Behind bars, he frequently attacked black and Native American inmates out of racial hatred for them.
64. Kenneth Charm (1993-2003, lethal injection): Charm and his teenage cousin lured a family friend, 14 year old Brandy Hill, into their car. They raped Hill and tried strangling her with a towel. When that failed, the cousins bludgeoned her to death with a sledgehammer.
65. Lewis Gilbert II (1994-2003, lethal injection): Gilbert and his teenage accomplice committed at least 4 robbery murders in Missouri, Ohio, and Oklahoma, but he was executed for the killing of 37 year old Roxanne Ruddell. They ambushed and kidnapped Ruddell while she was fishing alone. She was robbed of $3 and her truck, tied to a tree, and shot to death. The pair also fatally shot Ruth Loader, a 79 year old Ohioan woman, while abducting her from her residence, and gunned down a Missouri couple, 86 year old William and 76 year old Flossie Brewer, in their home. Gilbert was also sentenced to death for the Brewer murders by the state of Missouri, but was incarcerated in Oklahoma State Penitentiary’s death row.
66. Robert Duckett (~1980s-2003, lethal injection): After breaking out of prison, Duckett was picked up hitchhiking by John Howard, a 53 year old store owner. Howard agreed to let Duckett stay with him until he could find a job. The pair soon had a failing out, and Duckett was evicted by his host. He retaliated by tying Howard up with wire and then beating him to death with a fireplace poker. Duckett made off with his car after he switched the license plates, and took several bank bags from his store. He had a long violent criminal history, which included several incidents of assault and robbery. One of the incidents involved the beating of an 83 year old man. Allegedly, Duckett was previously gang-raped by other inmates, and suffered from PTSD from the incident. His attorneys claimed that Howard’s sexual advances trigged those memories, and he was killed as a result of Duckett lashing out at them. However, the prosecution shot the argument down, citing that the murder happened after Duckett was evicted from the apartment.
67. Bryan Toles (1993-2003, lethal injection): Toles and his two accomplices forced themselves into the home of the Franceschi family, and shot and killed the family patriarch, 39 year old Juan, in a struggle. Juan's son, 15 year old Lonnie, was also murdered "execution style" out of fear that he could identify Toles and his accomplices. The only survivor of the attack was Norma, Juan's wife and Lonnie's mother, who escaped by hiding in her older daughter's bedroom.
68. Jackie Willingham (1994-2003, lethal injection): Willingham was a door to door salesman selling perfume in an office building. One women, 62 year old Jayne Van Wey, he tried to solicit rejected him despite his repeated offers. Angered by her "rude behavior", Willingham attacked Van Wey when they had a chance encounter near the building's restroom. He dragged Van Wey out of a stall after following her inside, slammed her head against the bathroom wall several times, and kicked her head. Reportedly, Van Wey choked to death on her own blood.
69. Harold McElmurry III (1999-2003, lethal injection): While under the influence of meth, McElmurry and his wife Vicki broke into a home that a WW2 veteran, 80 year old Robert Pendley, shared with his wife, 75 year old Rosa. Robert and Rosa were both quickly subdued and physically restrained by the couple. McElmurry clubbed Robert to death with a pipe in front of Rosa, who was forced to watch by Vicki. Vicki then held Rosa down as McElmurry stabbed her several times with scissors. After killing the Pendleys, the McElmurrys fled with $70 in cash, a pair of guns, and the victims' car. A few days after the murders, they were captured by border agents while trying to cross into Mexico.
70. Tyrone Darks (~1990s-2004, lethal injection): Darks rammed his ex wife, 26 year old Sherry Goodlow, off the road as she was driving with their 2 year old son. After Goodlow crashed, Darks pulled their son out of the wreckage, shot her to death, and then drove away with him. Just before she succumbed to her injuries, Goodlow managed to call and notify the police about her son’s abduction. The police confronted and arrested Darks at his home, and they found the boy unharmed in their search. Darks and Goodlow’s former marriage was marred with violence, and he was arrested on numerous occasions for assaulting her. On death row, Darks was involved in a scheme to defraud a foundation for 9/11 survivors.
71. Norman Cleary (~1980s-2004, lethal injection): While burglarizing an upper class home with an accomplice, Cleary shot and killed a housekeeper, 44 year old Wanda Neafus, and took her purse and a cane that her employers purchased from the Smithsonian Institution. Cleary had a long criminal history and was previously convicted of beating an 87 year old woman in her home.
72. David Brown (~1983-2004, lethal injection): For several years, Brown violently harassed his ex wife and her family. In one incident, Brown abducted his ex wife and 11 of her customers from a beauty saloon she owned, and held them hostage until he surrendered to police. He was able to leave custody on bond and went into hiding. A few years after the hostage crisis incident, Brown broke into his ex wife's family home and gunned down her father, 47 year old Eldon McGuire.
73. Hung Thanh Le (1992-2004, lethal injection): Le crept into the apartment of another Vietnamese refugee, 34 year old Hai Nguyen, and found him watching TV on the couch. He struck Nguyen from behind with a weightlifting bar, and continued stabbing him with a meat cleaver when he screamed his wife for help. Nguyen's wife phoned the police, and Le fled with the couple's safety deposit box that contained $36,000 and their wedding ring.
74. Robert Bryan (1993-2004, lethal injection): Bryan shot and killed his estranged aunt, 69 year old Mildred, dumped her body on his parents' property, and forged a $1,800 check to himself under her name.
75. Windel Workman (~1980s(?)-2004, lethal injection): Workman beat his girlfriend's daughter, 2 year old Amanda Holman, to death while babysitting her in their home. His ex wives reported that he had a history of child abuse and often violently spanked their children during their marriages.
76. Jimmie Slaughter (1991-2005, lethal injection): Fearing that she was going to tell his wife of their affair, Slaughter stabbed and shot his ex girlfriend, 29 year old Melody Wuertz, and their daughter, 1 year old Jessica. According to court documents, Slaughter mutilated both of their bodies, and he carved an "R" on Melody's stomach. He tried pinning the murders on a black man, but the investigators and the courts dismissed his allegations.
77. George Miller Jr. (1994-2005, lethal injection): During the robbery of a hotel, Miller attacked the auditor, 25 year old Kent Dodd, with a hedge shear and paint cans, and took $122 from the register. Dodd was severely beaten, had muriatic acid shoved down his throat, and was left to die. Just before he died of his injuries, Dodd gave a description of his attacker to the police that matched Miller. A massive amount of circumstantial evidence, such as wearing shoes that resembled the bloodstained footprints next to Dodd's body, a microscopic drop of blood found on his shoes that was tentatively linked to Dodd, his wife's testimony of his unaccounted absence from their home during the murder, and what appeared to be Dodd writing Miller's alias that he knew him by in his own blood, convicted him.

So for some context, my dad's been financially abusive and incredibly narcissistic my (20nb) whole life, along with being very physically abusive to my mom. After their last argument in February, my dad had moved out of their apartment into his camper and living out of there. My parents had a custody agreement they set up outside of court. Also, I don't live with either parent, I live with my maternal grandfather. I'm currently unemployed and my dad pays for my car, in the past he's refused to tell me how much my car insurance is despite repeated asking.
So about the actual issue, about two weeks ago, my mom (40f) and younger brother, Aaron (6m) were at home with a therapist lady from the state, just for a very early session to set the groundwork. I was out with my youngest brother, Jake (4m) while the therapist was over. While Jake and I were gone, my dad went over to my mom's and took over the conversation with the therapist, making the whole topic about Aaron's mental issues (Adhd, Autism) about his sigar consumption. Basically my dad saying if my mom didn't make his whole diet sugar he wouldn't be so bad, and if he didn't have any sugar, he wouldn't have autism. My mom being fed up with this, and him showing up at her house when he pleases just walked away.
So eventually when Jake and I come back after about an hour, the therapist and my dad are still talking and Aaron is outside with them on the swings. Jake and I go inside and sit with my mom, talk about the situation, everything seems chill. Until my dad comes in, starts screaming about how much of an idiot my mom is for disagreeing with him, not seeing how he's right, etc.. There's a little back and forth of her being calm, trying to talk it out, him getting more aggressive and yelling more and more, until he walks out. He comes back in a minute later screaming again, and takes my car away, I hand him my keyring and walk outside. While walking outside, I start getting frustrated and he follows me out, I stupidly pick up a potted plant and throw it at him (most of the dirt getting dumped inside since he's halfway out the door). He dumps all my keys except the car keys on the ground, and yells how I need to pick a side (him or my mom) and how he's right and he's doing good, and that she's a drug addict (both of my parents were opioid addicts years ago).
I walk away from him before I hurt him, as I'm walking away my mom steps out to see what's happening and he slams her back into the door. I wasn't aware of her being hurt until after, but I end up turning back to get things from my car (cds, a jacket, work boots, D&D stuff and VR headset). When i get back to what used to be my car he's inside moving where it was parked (for whatever reason, everyone thinks he has OCD but he refuses medication). While moving the car he threatens me by saying "Move out of the way unless you wanna get hurt!" and revs the engine a bit.
So I mentally say screw it, and start the three mile walk home, while on the way blocking him on everything I can think of. I do feel bad about everything, and I know he's not wrong about some things, but that doesn't mean he can scream and yell in front of his kids like this.
So I just wanna know AITAH?

She keeps stalling on anything on the property. First the shop atop the hill, then a camper. She Wont let me put anything on our property. Wont even allow a mobile shower(i buy w my own money 3k) and sleep in my car in my deceased papas garage. Not a thing.
She will let my ex-stepdad build a shop top the hill. She will spend "50k"(of my brothers life insurance money) on her fence(for my dogs too or so she claims). I defend her "honor", stand up to my stepdad and even though he kicks down my locked door and is about to beat my face in at midnight. She shames, blames, yells at me that its my fault. Hes the one who lied, who fucked her door up. Yet she gives the fucker 50k of my brothers life insurance money... for their divorce... for the shop... as she tells me so i can stay up there... yet wastes away for the last 2+ years.
But when I take a few thousand from the account like she said I could when I need it for, she goes nuclear. A narcissistic mother who is so against me. A narcissistic father who looks at me with nothing but disappointment even though I am doing amazing for myself. While they both blame my brothers death for their mistreatment of me. They have everyone convinced they're saints. What couple of "friends" wont even let me sleep in their parking lot in my car just so I have somewhere to stay. What little bit of "family" I do have make nothing into something when I ask if i can stay for a little bit(more than a night) even when theyre faced with the truth that I am not the one in the wrong.
Faced with no other options, I leave, and draw from the acocunt because I have no other options. Instead of helping me, everyone just fucking hates me and thinks im the villain.

Good Afternoon Everyone,
So for backstory, I’m in my early 20s and have been in construction since I graduated high school. Moved west to get my foot in the door with a large GC and moved back south once I attained a title. I currently am with one of the largest GC’s in the country as a traveling superintendent.
So, I’m currently wrapping up a job. I have a wife and we have a child on the way. We usually do not hear where I will be going next until a week or two prior. And this brings up a many concerns especially now with a child on the way. We are comfortable going anywhere but north (I want to stay close to family).
These are the only options I have and I’m not sure what’s best for the future. I’d love to hear alternate options if you guys can think of any.
We could continue traveling. Get a camper, apartment, or temporary house. Makes good money and the company provides a good career future. But life on the road may be hard for starting a family.
I could swap jobs to a more local GC that resides in the southern region I want to stay in. This might cause for a pay cut and for my career advancement to slow down. I’d also have to look into buying a long term home.
I also have access to a GC license through immediate family. I Could possibly start my own gig, but I’m sure you guys know the immense amount of hardship that would come with that as well. But long term could be worth it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I’m just stuck trying to decide what’s best and looking for anyone that has gone through something similar. Let me know what you guys think.
I appreciate all responses. God bless!

First time buyer here extremely overwhelmed at the market. Thoughts on this?
I’ll put the link to the listing and the listing description below. My wife and I are wanting to start van life after talking about it for years. This is a gan relatively close to us, and we love the build. However, we’ve had some people express concerns over the price at its mileage. I understand that if well maintained, these vans are supposed to go for a while though right? Would you spend 25k on this? I’m thinking of offering 20. Would you be worried about buying this and ending up stranded somewhere? Any advice would be lovely, thanks in advance!

Edit: I neglected to add that it has a coolant leak and he says the radiator will need to be replaced, which if I bought it me and my diesel mechanic friend plan on doing ourselves

Asking $24,999 OBO - open to reasonable offers Located in Salt Lake City Makes for a great stealth camper van. Fully livable. I’m selling my well-maintained 2005 Dodge T1N Sprinter with a beautiful, solid camper buildout. The T1N sprinters (’02-’06 in the US) are some of the best Sprinters to ever be made, known affectionately as the million mile sprinters, the owners are near fanatical. Easy to work on and reliable, the T1Ns are both fuel efficient and a work horse, and are able to haul well, and making them perfect for camper van build outs. This van had a couple of years as a delivery van in Arizona. Previous owner in Oregon bought it but sold it right away after realizing that the camper conversion would take longer than expected. I bought the van and my friend and I did the buildout so I know the ins and outs of it. I maintained it well and replaced and repaired parts with the intent to own it for a long time but I am just not using it much and want a truck. This van was a cargo van to begin with so it doesn’t have a stereo deck. I’ve just been using my bluetooth speaker since I got it. I also haven’t put a Dometic or refrigerator into it, I’ve just been using a Yeti cooler but the solar would support an efficient fridge no problem. The Basics: · Dodge 2500 · 253,XXX miles · 158” wheel base, high top, measures out to just over 22’ in total length. (Long and Tall) · 16” All season Tires with lots of life left on them · Set of winter tires as well with half a winter on them · Hitch · Average 22-23mph on the highway Camper Build: · 2 solar panels ~250 W (2x 250 W Renogy panels) ( solar was professionally installed) · 2 Vmaxtanks AWG 12V 125Ah SLA Rechargeable Deep Cycle · VertaMax Pure SINE Wave 1500 Watt (3000W Surge) 12V Power Inverter · Electric sink pump · 5 gallon fresh water water sink setup · 12v and USB outlets · Full Size RV Queen Bed · Maxxair fan · LED lighting all around · Full insulation all around - super well insulated, ready for full on winter camping · Wood floors, siding, and walls · Lots of Storage · Huge ‘garage’ space! Recent Maintenance: (I’ll include a maintenance log as well) · Glow Plugs replaced · Fuel injectors replaced · Power steering belt tensioner replaced · Harmonic Balancer and serpentine belt · Fuel Filter replacement regularly · Regular Oil Services · Brake Service · AC service · Regular Filter changes · Replaced all Shocks, struts, tie rods · Upgraded aluminum Turbo resonator · Oil pan heater · Replaced many bulbs, light housings, and some wiring. Known Issues: · Rear doors needs adjustment to be aligned properly · Doesn’t have a stereo deck · Some drawers are a little sticky but work just fine

So.. I’ve been meditating on what to do, if anything, with a new regular.
A couple of weeks ago, a request came in late at night for the following day. It was for a pit mix that was crated in a camper. I was to go feed him and let him out. Owner hadn’t been home in a day or two because she works far from home I guess. Of course, my gut instinct was “do not accept this. It’s going to be bad. It’s going to make me sad.”
Rewind: before I got on Rover, I was helping a neighbor with her big breed puppies (6-9 months.) She also worked a lot and left them crated most of the time. They were untrained and had so much energy and it was a really sad situation for those dogs. She never lets them out of a windowless hallway. I tried to intervene then, and she sued me for “stalking” (I have a door cam and she’s my neighbor in an apartment building) and lost her claim because it was ridiculous but she still has those dogs and it’s awful. I’m still fighting to get them away from her but as I’m sure many of you know, animal rights are almost nonexistent. ☹️
So, I feel like I have trauma from that situation. I feel like now when I see a dog kept crated most of the day for most days, I automatically assume the worst. But that’s NOT a great thing to have crated all the time dogs right? Am I wrong? Be honest!
So my new client, with the camper. This poor sweet dog is SO sweet. Well trained, listens to commands, etc. here’s my concerns:

• owner leaves for days at a time. She does have me coming by 3 times a day though. But doesn’t want dog off leash, dog has collar and no harness, leash is basically a bungee cord so it pulls his neck so bad.. he just needs to RUN he is so high energy and excited to be outside when I get there.
  
• there’s also a cat, various reptiles, and at least one tarantula she’s keeping as pets that are not on the Rover profile. I don’t need to do anything for them apparently but litter box is so full the whole camper smells awful and I can’t find where the cat apparently has food left out. I told her this and she said it’s been fed and it does seem chubby but idk.. I just have such a bad feeling here
  
• the dog’s crate smells to high heaven of feces and urine. There’s no food or water in there with him. It gets to at least 80-90 degrees in there during a hot day. The bedding has been chewed up as well as various bits of trash he must have pulled through the bars.
  
• dog is so sweet. So happy and excited when I let him out of his crate. But when I have to leave, he gets SO sad when I have to put him back. I cried last night while I pushed him back in. She didn’t hire me for anything today because apparently her partner will be there at some point. But he was supposed to be there night before last too, and I swear it didn’t look like anything had been touched since the time I had been there previously. Doesn’t get home until late tomorrow.
  

Look, I’m aware that I really shouldn’t have taken this booking. I also realize I probably shouldn’t take it again. what I’m worried about is if I should report this and call animal control or something?
It sucks because it’s a pitbull. Realistically, if he were rescued and put into a shelter, his chances of being adopted or rehomed are low. is it better to give him the chance of life with this owner or to rescue him to have him euthanized later in a shelter? I just don’t know what to do.
Moral of the story: listen to your instincts. if you feel like a booking is a bad situation, it probably is.
Thanks for reading

PROLOGUE - PART I
Sergei: Phone rings - Takes a bite of his club sandwich and checks the screen, and rolls his eyes.
Andrei: Looks at him with a grin "It's her isn't it?"
Sergei: Finishes chewing and takes a sip of Mountain Dew, then answering the call "I thought you were in Boston today.
Natalia: "What, to get a Samuel Adams and a fucking potato? Get real! This is serious. I'm on a layover in Baltimore until 2, and then it's over to JFK. Did you get those pics I sent you, baby?"
Sergei: Furrows his brows to Andrei who saw the pics
Andrei: Smiles
Sergei: "Yeah, I got them alright. And I've got to say, that was fucking nice. How much were those? That shit was fucking golden!"
Natalia: "Well, you know, baby. It doesn't come cheap but Haji was able to pull some strings with Customs and talked to his uncle at the consulate. One thing led to another, and he got your dad exactly what he wanted for Christmas. Even got you and Dre an extra box for the party.
Sergei: Grinning now "It was fucking perfect. You're a doll for that one, sweetie. Dre loves them to, Right Dre?"
Andrei: "They're God damned tits compared to that cheap Honduran crap." Lighting a Cuban cigar with a wooden match
Natalia: "Well, enjoy. Look, I've got to get moving. I gotta pick up something to eat before I catch my next flight."
Ralphie: Walks into the kitchen with his Xbox headset on "Fuck you! Yeah? So's your mom! What? I'm straighter than the pole your mom dances on, you fairy!"
Sergei: "Damn it, Ralphie! Manners." Whispers "Your stepmom is on the phone."
Ralphie: "Shit." Yells "Hi, Nat!"
Natalia: On speakerphone "Hiiiii Ralphie! Did you get the thing I sent you?"
Ralphie: "Yes, Nat. It's fucking rad!"
Sergei: "Ralphie! Language!"
Andrei: Takes a puff and chuckles "He's going to be a rockstar in no time. That's an original Fender Stratocaster!"
Sergei: "Yeah, my Jimi Hendrix over here…." Picks up a magazine and fans the smoke away as he walks into the living room for a more private conversation and tosses the January copy of Fortune 500 onto the couch "Natalia, look. I know we haven't got a chance to see each other, but I miss you, so God-Damned-Much…" slides open the patio door and steps out onto the balcony "It got me to thinking, you know. It's been what two weeks since we," Pauses and smiles, beaming "went to that crab restaurant and you were wearing that dress, and we went back to your place and-"
Natalia: "Yes, Serj, I remember…" She said with a giggle "and that cute waitress with the rack was hitting on you in front of me the whole time. She's lucky she was so hot, or I wouldn't have tipped her so well…"
Sergei: "Well, you know. If you were that into her we could have had her over to your place too, for a little minage et toi"
Natalia: "Slow your roll there, cowboy! I don't like pussy that much. Speaking of which, that bitch Shiniqua at the office did her nails again."
Sergei: *Frowns* "Doesn't she spend like $300 on her God damned nails every fucking week?"
Natalia: "Well she can afford it." Sighs "Bitch is fine as fuck and she knows it too. That's why she's so stuck up."
Sergei: "Doesn't she have that hot sister, what's her name?"
Natalia: "Oh! Right. The one you fucked before we got together. How in the Hell do you not remember her name?"
Sergei: "Oh, come on Nat, it was just a one night stand, and I was drunk, and she was persuasive…"
Natalia: "Serj, and hoe with titties is persuasive enough to get you in the God damned sack. Seriously, stop thinking with your fucking dick for once."
Sergei: "Look, I'm sorry babe. It's about business. Her uncle works the State Department, right?"
Natalia: sighs annoyed "Yeah, he's like a secretary or liason to the adjuctant or something like that. Why?"
Sergei: "I need you to see if her sister, what's her name with the nails?"
Natalia: "Shiniqua…"
Sergei: "See if Shiniqua can get me the goods on his boss. I hear the guy is really connected with mineral extraction firms, and I need to find out about that oil rig off of the coast of Juneau, Alaska."
Natalia: "Seriously, what the Hell is so important about some nosebleed rig off the coast of Juneau for crying out loud?" Loudspeaker blares in the distance "Look honey, I've got to catch my next flight. Can we do this later?"
Sergei: "Okay, but the next trime you speak to her, I need you to ask her if she can schedule a meet and greet with her uncle at the next banquet at the yacht club. I'll buy him and his wife a damned table. Seriously, though. We need to get him on board before the Governor's ball."
Natalia: "OKay, okay. I'll do it. You'll be lucky if that stuck up assed hoe goes for it though. She'll want something in return, and it'll be about more than just her expensive ass nails."
Sergei: "Okay, whatever she needs, we'll pull the strings to get it done. I love you babe. Have fun in New York…"
Natalia: "Yeah. And don't go getting shithoused at the bar with Andrei and end up plowing some floozie while I'm gone either. I'll cut your fuckin' balls off, you know…"
Sergei: Sighs while pinching his nose "I know. Love you."
Natalia: "Love you too sweetie. I'll call you when I get to my hotel room."
Sergei: "Okay baby. I can't wait for you to come home next week…"
Natalia: "More like your dong can't wait for this ass next week!"
Sergei: Laughs
Natalia: "Yeah. That's what I thought. Byeeeee!" Hangs up
Sergei: Leans against the railing on the balcony and takes a deep breath of the cold and crisp night air, before heading back in.
Andrei: "Good talk?" Putting out the cigar by cutting the end off with a cigar cutter and putting the cherry into an ashtray
Sergei: "She said she'll talk to her coworker about getting Brett to sit down for a meet and greet."
Andrei: "It's important, Sergei. His boss works for the Foundation. You won't find a record of his involvement anywhere in State Department files."
Sergei: "Seriously?"
Andrei: Chuckles "They don't friggin exist! Remember?"
Sergei: "Right…"
Andrei: "If we can get a sit down with him, he can get us connected to what's under Juneau. Once we've got access to that, we can step up the next phase of our operations."
Sergei: "And What the Hell is so important about fucking Juneau of all places anyways? I thought it was just a stupid oil rig."
Andrei: "That's not all it is Sergei… It's what's under the sea floor. The "Thingy" they uncovered when they were drilling."
Sergei: knits his brow "What in the Hell is the "Thingy"?"
Andrei: Tucks the stogie into a glass cigar case "That depends." whispers "Do you believe in aliens?"
Sergei: "I think you've had too much to drink, Uncle."
Andrei: "I kid you not."
Sergei: "Get out of here. No way!"
Andrei: "It's just rumor for now, but if it's a match for what the Old Gaurd found in Enurmino back in '25…"
Sergei: "You mean…"
Andrei: "Da."
Sergei: "So the legends are true then?"
Andrei: "No fucking joke."
Sergei: "Like," looks around then lowers his voice to a whisper "like Lizard people?"
Andrei: Looking around, puts his finger to his lips and nods
Sergei: mouths the words "Holy shit!"
Andrei: "Yeah that's what I'm saying. God Damned dinosaurs! Very rare. One of a kind."

Chapter I - Todd is a brave man... Baltimore, Maryland - February, 2nd 2008
Lance Corporal Todd and Professor Chaos milled about in front of the kielbasa stand munching down some dogs with kraut, and washing it back with lemonade.
LCpl Todd: "Maaaan. A Milkor only holds 6 grenades at a time, that's like over 300+ cultists armed with HK MP5s, M4s, AK-47s, .50 Cal damn nests in the lobby, and fucking Scar heavys for the buildings security forces, not counting RPG-7s with thermobaric to take out vehicles and personnel and shit, and God damned stingers on the rooftops to take out fucking choppers in my immediate fucking AO. How in the fuck am I supposed cum dumpster that many shitheads by myself when the shit goes down? This isn't even a standard M32A1 for fucks sake! What South African shithole did they get this piece of junk from? Literally, Bill's Discount Firearms Emporium? Do I clusterfuck their shit into a quadruple cross and let them know they're ripping each other off now? Could cause a Mexican standoff and resultant shootout. That would be convenient, or do they fuck and fill my holes with bukkake and sacrifice me first? This is fucking clown shoes man. Fucking clown shoes... Fucking cults, man."
That plaza was relatively clear of cult operative activity which was focused on the front lobby of the building across the street and a block away.
Lieutentant Dan "Gator" watched the cams feed from the van.
Lt. Gator: "Look shitbreath, you gotta keep your balls on the prize. The SCIP is the prize. Nuts to butt and keep that fucker in front of you and use him like a God damned meat shield. If he gets popped we're fucked, so don't let that shit happen or Skippy Peanut Butter Company hits us with a O5 containment clusterfuck of crunchy dildos, and the last thing we need is Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto's cyborg service from fucking Styx singing "Come Sail Away" and Shanghai our asses on the Highway to the the God Damned Danger Zone. You know what they do to cornholes there for the fuckups? "
LCpl Todd, muttering under his breath, swiveled back toward the dogs cart, as a suspicious group of college aged/military aged males strolled by, being very chalant and looking around. Professor Chaos took point and fiddle fucked his blackberry absentmindedly while looking out of his perhipherals.
Lt. Gator: "Are you listening Top Gun? Fucking Use peanut boy Downtown Charlie Brown as a God damned salami sandwich and keep those fucking cookie monsters the fuck away from the Winnebago. Also, do NOT let anything happen to him and keep him in proximity. Got it? Also, where the fuck is Gunny? He should've been back with the Dominos to throw pepperoni at this motherfucker 5 minutes ago..."
LCpl Todd: "Just gotta ask, Maverick...err. Gator. Why in the living fuck do we keep using Sesame Street lingo?"
Lt. Gator: "Because the sick motherfuckers plow kids and post it to the deep web on a God damned website called motherfucking Sesame Street. Weren't you at the brief?"
LCpl Todd: "I Was, but I had to take a shit for like 5 minutes, so I guess I missed that part..."
Lt. Gator: "God damn it, Lance. Eat some motherfucking peanut butter crackers from the vending machine next time. It'll make you fucking constipated so you don't have to blow ass during God damned brief."
Gunny Wilson: "Boy, the fuck is wrong with yo' ass? Keep that Cookie Monster Lord summoning muthafucka the fuck away from my camper! The last thing I need is for Charlie Brown's cock holster to barf up a God damned queef spell with some Wizard shit on it during my mothafucking engagement, and end up pissing off Skippy and Jif management enough to pop us with God damned orbital bombardment. Ask that piece of cultist pedophile bait if this is where he saw himself being at the age of twenty six."
Professor Chaos: "Just another day, living the fucking dream, Sir. Seriously though, This is fucked up."
Gunny Wilson: "I swear, if Otis Spunkmeyer goes kamikaze with the Sesame Street Brigade, the God Damned Cookie Monster and Oscar the Grouch murder hobo legion lurking in the shadows of every storefront will start to go apeshit-. Mothafucka, are you listening, Gator? Tell Terminal Lance to get his ass in gear and keep those motherfuckers away from my ride! Put salami sandwich at the front on his exfil and this shit better go fucking swimmingly. If that motherfucker cum guzzles some motherfucking lead monster sperm on my watch, Corpsman will not be able to patch his bitch ass up in time, and it will be Hell on Earth when the shit stain bukkake brigade gets their way. Here's your motherfucking pizza, you fairy asswipe. Don't touch my Dr. Pepper..." He said taking a fat slice and gobbling down most of it in one breath.
Corpsman Bill: "Damn, Gunny. That was sexy! Here's your fucking bones for the pie, that's two Dubs and some coins, aaaand what in the flying fuck is Yui Hirasawa doing crossing my God Damned Street again? That's the third time in the past twenty minutes. Seriously, what the fuck is that shit? That better be a motherfucking Gibson Les Paul Sunburst in that God Damned Guitar case on her back and not a fucking cache of P-90s. Scoping that fucking loli, and she's got Azunyan-Chan with the God damned violin case, wait, correction, that's a fucking cello case, and they're lugging that shit to what I can only assume isn't Mugi's grandma's house. Looks like they've been pulling music and concert cases out of that minivan in front of the plaza, and parked it directly across the street from Shitbag Central. "
Corpsman Bill: "I swear to fucking Jesus, if Mugi shows up next with a motherfucking canvas wrapped tube slung over her shoulder, I'm going to assume it's a stinger launcher and not a fucking digeridoo. They didn't use a digeridoo in motherfucking Fua Fua Time, and if that's not a trio on their way to motherfucking Juliaird, and they're going all renegade Natalie Portman in Leon the Professional, I'm going to have a bad fucking time."
*Pulls the Multispec scope up to 10x*
"Checking that shit out, and it looks like Hokago Tea Time over there is up to no good. What the fuck Gator? Look at the backscatter X-ray on this shit. They're kitted out and ready to do the fucking dirty. What lolicon motherfucker called Pizza Hut to hire the three 20-30 somethings for a Lolita hit squad on our dry run?! This is bullshit. Are those bitches Triple Canopy or what? Hoes better not be motherfucking Speznas either. What in the fuck, Mugi's mean muggin the Bago. She's looking right at me. Did we get made? God Damn it. Who the fuck are they? Are they Langley?
*'Mugi' discretely flips him off where only he can see it*
Corpsman Bill: "Motherfucker... That fucking does it!"
Gunny Wilson: "Oh yeah. They're here to party, Bill."

Chapter II - Light Music Club Isn't fucking Around Baltimore, Maryland - February, 2nd 2008
After flipping off Corpsman Bill, Eight flung her hair back, she ties it in a ponytail, and turns to walk back across the street.
Number 8: "Can you hear me fuck boy? That's cute with the K-on bit, you fucking lolicon scumbag motherfucker. Yo Six, you hear this fuckwad?"
Number 6: "Yep, dumb motherfucker forgot about the CrossCom uplink with Cent. You're on a hot mic with local AO dickbreath, the rest of your team is solid."
Corpsman Bill: "Awe fuck me running", Bill muttered.
Number 8: "You ready to do this shit, or are you just going to be oogling us through your pervert scope with your dick in your hand, cough, Fag."
Lt. Gator: "Now, now, ladies. Please contain your orgasms and homicidal ideations. We're all on the same team here."
Number 6: "Eat a dick, Lieutenant"
Number 5: "Six, knock it off. Let's play nice with fuckboy brigade and get this fucking show on the road. Culty asswipes are crawling all over the fucking place here. Read?"
Number 6: "Copy that, 5."
Number 5: "Good. And for the record, Corpsman, your knowledge of K-On is fucking uncanny. Do you wear school girl dresses in your mom's basement?"
Corpsman Bill: "God damn it, I don't have to take this shit…."
Number 5: "Whatever weeb. Anyways, here's a SITREP. Something pissed off that cult leader dickhead Otis Spunkmeyer aka Russel, and all of those Oscar the Grouch motherfuckers are looking out for someone big to show up. Looks like they're expecting VIPs. You know what that means?"
Lt. Gator: "What's that, Five?"
Number 5: "It means, Lieutenant, that the fucking cookie monster fuckwad brigade is going to be distracted for the next 13 minutes, and those child sacrificing cultist dickbreaths will be looking to brown nose to make that fucker Russel happy. Seven, you see anything pretty from your nest?"
Number 7/Overwatch: "Negative, Five. Looks like the Sesame Street convention is waiting around with their dicks in their hands for the moment."
Number 5: "Copy that. Look, Gator. You see that corner office on the 17th floor? That's where shit weasel extraordinaire is supposed to have the meet with whoever is showing up. We can't get a good read on audio because the motherfucker has white noise on the windows. Some culty garbage metal band we never fucking heard of. Laser mics aren't going to do shit for now. We need to find a way to get ears inside that room, and three quote unquote 'high school girls' aren't about to get fucking railed by fucking nasty walking into that fucking heathen's nest. Got any bright ideas?"
Lt. Gator: "Can you have someone from cent do a brush pass with a listening device?"
Number 5: "Got motherfuckers from cookie monster brigade already looking out for that shit. We had an informant within their perimeter security already, but he got popped in the fucking tart two hours ago. Apparently he wasn't properly indoctrinated in Serpent protocol, and got interrogated by a proselytizer. That's when he slipped up. Now that fucker Russel is keeping an eye out for interlopers and apostates. This shit is going to get a lot more difficult to get someone on the inside."
Lt. Gator: "Please tell me you've got a solution, Five…"
Number 6: "We could cause a power surge and overload that floors breakers, and kill the noise, but that would just piss that fucker off and they would hold the meet in a different room. We need that fucking window so we can pop a visual from the spider drones we have set up on the surrounding buildings."
Gunny Wilson: "What I wouldn't do for some noise cancel right now."
Number 7/Overwatch: "Yeah, no shit. We didn't deploy until about 45 minutes ago and we're late to the punch bowl. We've got 12 mins until mystery VIPs drop by, so we've got to get this shit figured out fast."
Lt. Gator: "Copy that five, we'll work on a solution, give us a minute"
LCpl Todd: "How about we send Charlie Brown aka Professor Chaos in there, Gator?"
Lt. Gator: "Negative, Lance. If those fuckers ID him it's fucking curtains. Gunny, got any bright ideas?"
Gunny Wilson: "Wait for the VIPs to show and tag one of their entourage with a listening device from across the street."
Number 5: "Can you pull that off, Gunny?"
Gunny Wilson: "No can do, Five. Will have to get danger close, and those Oscars and Cookie monsters will be swarming the VIPs on the lookout the minute they roll up."
LCpl Todd: "Well, why not tag one of the VIPs with a sticky? Overwatch, you got darts or what?"
Number 7/Overwatch: "If I don't get him on something thick, he'll feel it tag him as soon as it hits him. If they become wise, this shit cavity becomes a hornet's nest."
Lt. Gator: "What do you think, Five?"
Number 5: "It's the best option I've heard so far, so fuck it. Yeah."
Lt. Gator: "Okay, so tag one of the VIPs the minute they step out of the motorcade. If we're lucky, the greaseball fuckwad is wearing a fur coat."
Number 7/Overwatch: "Copy that. And speaking of greaseballs, there they come now. ETA 25 seconds. Looks like they're hauling ass."
Number 5: "Yeah, guessing Otis Spunkmeyer's got these motherfuckers on a tight schedule. Time it right, we only got one shot at this..."
Number 7/Overwatch: "Yeah, on it. Looks like it's the towncar... Ready for joy"
*The three vehicle motorcade pulled to a stop in front of the steps to dirtbag haven. Four armed guards hopped out of the lead and rear vehicle each, and the driver hopped out of the VIP middle vehicle and opened the door.*
Number 7/Overwatch: "Aaaaand holy motherfucking shit. Look who the fuck is popping out..."
Lt. Gator: "Oh fuck. That's Senator Calvin McCoulough. Standby..."
Gunny Wilson: "He's the Executive Director of the Weyland-Yutani fuckwad brigade, right?"
Number 7/Overwatch: "Take the fucking shot or not?"
Number 5: "Fuck that. Tag his ass!"
*There was a muffled click as the dart tagged the senator on his shoulder pad, just as his driver closed his passenger side door behind him. The dart was no bigger than a tailor's pin*
Number 7/Overwatch: "Bug's on his jacket"
Lt. Gator: "Audio confirmed. Let's see what this fucker does..."
*The senator's cell phone trilled and he pulled it out of his pocket. He stared at the screen momentarily and answered*
Senator McCoulough: "Yeah? No. Not a good time Brett, I'm about to be in a meeting with someone very important. Yes. I know, they usually do. Yeah, I know. I'll have to call you back. Yeah. Bye." He then hung up the phone and slid it back into his pocket.
Number 5: "Overwatch, you get audio too?"
Number 7/Overwatch: "Confirmed, Five. Looks like dickbreath was talking to 'Brett' so and so. We'll have Cent dig in and find out who the fuck that is..."
Gunny Wilson: "And there they go."
*Four of the armed guards followed Senator McCoulough from behind, while four led the way.*
Number 6: "You know who his goons might be working for, Lieutenant?"
Lt. Gator: "They don't look like secret service or PMC, let alone your typical Guidos. Look what they're wearing. Those are wool overcoats and tweed jackets. You see that fuckwad in the front, doesn't he look familiar?"
Number 5: "I saw that same motherfucker inside of Royal's Bank in the executive lounge... What the fuck is going on?"
Command: "Five Actual. This is command."
Number 5: "Go ahead command."
Command: "Stand down."
Number 5: "What the fuck do you mean, stand down?"
Command: "Do it. That's a fucking order."
*Five mouthed the words "Fuck" without uttering a sound*
Gunny Wilson: "What the fuck, command?"
Command: "That's above your fucking paygrade, Gunnery Sergeant. Scrub the God damned OP. NOW!"
Gunny Wilson: "What the-"
*Gator held his hand up to Gunny and they exchanged glances*
Command: "What the fuck is the hold up. Scrub the fucking mission and abort, or I'll put all of your asses in Leavenworth."
Lt. Gator: "Copy that, command. Standing down. You all heard him. Party's over."
Gator and gunny exchanged glances, and Lance stared at 5. The fire in her eyes could melt steel. The audio recording was still live from Senator McCoulough's bug as they made their way to the elevators. Shortly after the doors closed, the signal cut off. Using hand signals, 5 threw up two fingers to 7 in her nest. 7 Nodded. Gator and Gunny saw this on cams and said nothing. When the elevator doors to the 17th floor opens, the audio signal from the bug cut back on...
Command: "I don't think I've made myself abundantly clear. Abort the fucking mission. Lieutenant. 5. That means kill the coms too."
Everyone shook their heads and muttered strings of epithets. Lance yanked out his ear bud and 5 crossed her arms, looking across the street at 6. 6 threw her hands up. Gator then threw his headset on the counter in the van. "FUCK!". 7 Spit out the Grizzly wintergreen tucked in her lip, and muttered, "Shit on a fucking biscuit..."

Server had 100 people queued, near 400 people on a 3500 size map, it's a 2x vanilla on wipe day. Ran from our base on the edge of the map past three monuments (abandoned military base, satellite, supermarket) to outpost (in the center of the map) recycling on the way, a friend DCed halfway through and we were sitting in the open for a few minutes, saw one person sitting on their roof and that's it. Flew back to base with a scrap helicopter, resupplied, went and took small oil rig, no counters or contests, didn't depot and went straight to large oil, no counters or contests. Fly back to base, same roof camper as before shoots an L9 at us and was the only person we had an encounter with during the entire thing.
The only PvP we'd seem to get is one duo that seems to arrive at the perfect time to every fight or farm trip, and a guy that would door camp with a silenced AK and then get angry that we wouldn't run directly out the door he's camping to fight him. The only PvP at the small monument recyclers was PvP where one of the 5 roof camp bases next to it would shoot at you with a bolty, and the big monuments would be desolate except for launch.
What's everyone doing on these servers?

Not all of these are mine. Some of the ideas our squad has come up with.
Heli's. A few options for updates and additional options for insertion. Allow for fast roping in on a target location if you have a mission there. For example shooting range. Allow us to fast rope into or right outside the gate of the shooting range. Maybe only for a few missions this is an option to start. These heli's wouldn't be counted in the 4 already available. Could do more with fast roping here.
More Heli's. Put in 2 Chinooks that circle the map in opposite directions. Allow for HALO jumps out of them. Could have a set rotation. Say they leave base every 20 minutes or so.
LZ voting with Queue system. If my squad of 3 wants to go to Lima 1 it shows on the LZ as +3 in queue. Solo Player 4 decides to join in and enters queue. The heli now shows green for him as well. Optional change the would be awesome. Black Hawk if more than 4 queue for one location. Could expand this to if there is multiple locations along the way that have different groups. Say one team wants to go to sawmill and another team is headed to Hunters Paradise from MSS camp. Black Hawk shows up and all 8 load up. Heli can land or fast rope in at sawmill and other team continues on same heli to Hunters Paradise. One helicopter used and two teams inserted.
LZ camping. If there is a kill of a certain amount made within a set distance of an LZ it triggers different actions. Circle should be big enough to allow players to get far enough away that they have some kind of cover. So size would vary depending on LZ. This is just spit balling mind you. Lets say kill count is whole squad or more than half. 2 man team, both players would need to be killed. 3 man team 2 players killed. 4 man team, 3 players killed. Dead players faction triggered to launch drone overhead. Can spot players on the map for a set amount of time using boxes or something. This should also trigger a notification through the radio to all faction members that a drone has been launched for X LZ. 2 or more players of drone faction get killed, QRF team is dispatched. This would be one of those Black Hawks with 10 highly motivated and kitted out AI. For each player that joins in on the hunt and hops on the Black Hawk at base they replace an AI. This would also have triggered a warning and call for QRF over faction radios. Black Hawk shows up, door gunners engage anything in the area not friendly and troops unload and get to doing their business. Could have them chase down any enemy players for a set amount of time. Say 5 min or something.
This mechanic would still allow LZ campers, but it would bring a level of risk along with it. Once you engage an enemy squad, you have to remember there is a faction out there too and they can backup their friends. So engage, then retreat and get safe. The dev's mentioned if I remember right that they want PvP but don't want it to take over. Just an idea to allow for PvP but put some risk to it. Risk and reward make things more interesting. This system could also be implemented anywhere not the LZ as well with differing parameters. Like I said, just spit balling.
Enemy (bots) should have QRF as well. If we just roll into town and blast everyone and they know it, where is their back up? Give them back up. Our squad pretty much just took over Ban Pa when we were running our missions there. I finally got to the point where enemies weren't spawning in fast enough I would wait at edges of town and try and talk incoming people into buying a time share. There could be a few trucks that show up and try and retake the town. Maybe the boss re-spawn's with this group as a means to get him to spawn again for missions. But he comes with backup.
Vendors. Let us earn experience by doing missions and apply that to different vendors as we choose. Also align gear with vendors a little better. Gunny gets all M4 and Glock gear. Artisan gets all AK gear. Turncoat gets all Mosin and cz pistol gear. Banshee gets all Shotgun and M700 gear. This way players can choose who and what they want to unlock so they can get the gear they like for their play style.
More on vendors. Allow us to turn in any quest that does not directly require physical handover of items. If it's kill 20 AI, then that should finish and they can radio the next mission over. You can have your rewards waiting for you back at base. As of now, I don't really take much with me and don't think about it because I know I'll be right back. No point in loading up too much of anything because after completing the mission I have to come back anyways. This would possibly create a little more planning for longer trips into the areas. Heck even if it's a turn over of documents, allow us to hold onto those or scan and send the contents back so we can get another mission. This would also greatly reduce the heli times.
I'm sure there are other things that will come to mind. I'm sure all of you fine operators have ideas you have thought of too. The dev's probably have their whole road map already laid out and don't give a shit about any thoughts, but for us operators it's fun. And just maybe a dev will see something and it is an option they can implement and improve the experience. So, what are your thoughts?

Greetings! We camped at Lot N for the first time last year and we'll never go back to staying in a hotel and dealing with traffic. I wanted to compile a post as a reference for those coming to Lot N for the first time this year.
Reservations
As of May 10th, you can still pick up Lot N passes for $875 for the weekend at this link.
This reservation includes a pass for (1) car or tow vehicle and (1) camper. It is not a 'per person' charge in any way.
This lot does not include any power or water services, but I will go into that later.
Lot N Timing
Lot N officially opens at noon on Thursday and closes at noon on Monday. Spots are 'first come, first served'.
We arrived at noon on Thursday to a pretty long line but got a prime spot. "Check-Out" seems pretty laid back on Monday so I'm sure nobody is there standing around waiting on you to leave by noon on Monday.
If you arrive on Friday, good luck finding a spot. I believe in you.
If you have entered the lot early on Wednesday, please send me a DM for my own personal reference ;)
Renting a Camper
This is the route we go. We've used both Outdoorsy and RV Share. We have simply rented a fifth-wheel and had it delivered and set-up on our spot. Delivery can be pricey and varies wildly based on the unit, but all in for (4) nights after fees, taxes, delivery, etc. we've spent between $1,200 and $1,600 for a fifth-wheel camper.
Make sure to communicate with your provider before booking to make sure they accommodate the drop-off and pick-up times. Most people work regular jobs and don't have availability to drop-off and pick-up on Thursday / Monday.
Also confirm the type of generator they have. Also, and many units don't have them even when it's listed as an amenity so make sure to check before booking.
You are able to have a tow vehicle drop off your unit and depart after set-up without having to use your parking pass. We usually walked down and met the trailer at the entrance to the lot with the 'trailer pass' and the attendants will let the tow vehicle in to drop off your unit.
Lot Size
The official length is 40' but we were able to put a 43' in there without too much issue. It largely depends your neighbors. We had slideouts on both sides and it was a little tight but doable. Again, it largely depends on the size of the rig you're parked next to.
Water / Sewer / Power
No hookups are officially available. There was a row last year that had power hookups but we're not completely sure of how to obtain those spots, I'll update the post once I have that information. I want to say it was $500 for the weekend. We're trying to get one of those spots this year to simply save on going out to get gas for the generator every day as it was a hassle we'd like to avoid. We ran the generator 24 hours a day last year so we were going through quite a bit of fuel.
The company who operates the showers also manage the water delivery and pump-outs. I want to say it was around $130 for fresh water and pump out. We did it twice for the weekend and mostly showered in the facilities next to the restrooms. You go and pay the provider at the shower / restroom facility and they give you colored ribbons to place on your unit and they travel around and service the units with those colored ribbons.
Generators
I've never seen someone get in trouble for having a 'non-silent' generator, but your neighbors will notice and it can get obnoxious especially if you don't have a way to place it properly away from doors, etc. The noise between the campers can get pretty bad with a loud generator and when there's no wind, fumes are prevalent.
Showers / Restrooms
There are port-a-potties around the lot and the restroom trailers are free to use (iirc).
You pay $30 a day, per person (at least last year) for access to the showers and I highly recommend it. They're shower trailers similar to the style here. They get cleaned fairly regularly and (mostly) have plenty of warm water. The occasional hiccup here and there, but mostly awesome. Lines aren't usually too long and you just plan to shower 'off times' when it's not super busy. Make sure to take shower shoes / seperate shoes for the walk there and back as well. The area around the facility can get pretty muddy at times, especially if there is any rain at all. Make sure to bring a towel and shower caddy for your things. Not a lot of 'flat space' in the showers.
Misc Notes
The lot is DUSTY!!! Try and keep your doors closed and be prepared to clean out your trailecampetent a lot.
I found this crowd to be less rowdy than say NASCAR or the infield at the 24 Hours of Daytona but others have reported that it's pretty loud pretty late. The only real issues we had with noise are the sound of generators.
The walk to the concerts is pretty long, just keep it in mind. The placement of your vehicle is highly dependant on what you want to have the 'shorter' walk to. Track entrance? Shower trailers? Concerts?
Ice is available for approx. $7 a bag.
Lot N Alternatives
Austin Motor Village. I have no information on this other than they are on the opposite side of the track from Lot N and the pricing, as it looks to me to be $2,700 for the weekend. We have no information other than what is on their website.
