How to make line symbols on facebook

I’m at a point where it’s not so much the unacceptable behavior that bothers me (although that in and of itself is problematic). It’s the almost-fake shocked reactions that both of my parents have when I say (or don’t say) something to them. Both of my parents are guilty of doing this, but they have their own style of doing it, if that makes sense.
For example, I met a guy online, moved to his home state to be with him, and then later we got married. I didn’t tell anyone in my family. My mother found out through other family members because they saw things about it on social media. I really don’t care that she found out that way. So she sent me a text asking if I had gotten married, and I told her that yes, I had, and that I didn’t say anything to anyone because I didn’t know how they were going to react. My mother then responded with, “oh, but all I ever wanted was for you to be happy!”
Now, that may very well be true, but she has always had a very perverse way of showing it. Where was this desire for my happiness when she blamed me for my father‘s affair, then apologized for it, but then took all of her anger and frustrations about it out on me, thus rendering said apology pointless? Or when she was constantly comparing me to my peers when I was growing up, asking me why I couldn’t be like this girl or that girl? Where was her concern for my happiness then? Or the many times she would say really mean-spirited things to me and I would ask her to please stop, and she would say “this is how I am and this is how I’m going to be” or something along those lines?
I mean, if you’re going to be a jerk, own it. If she owned that and said something like, “I can be a real jerk sometimes so I understand why you wouldn’t want to talk to me,” I would actually have more respect for her. But she’s not going to do that. Instead it’s, “why don’t you want to talk to your own mother? You only get one mother.”
My father wasn’t any better. When I was about 23 he was having an affair with this girl who was 19 at the time. And I begged him to stop doing that because it was affecting my grades in college (which I never finished, I take responsibility for that but my parents’ messy behavior did play a small part in that) and he told me, “you’re over 18, you don’t need a father anymore.” Fast forward 20 years later to today, I have zero contact with him, he somehow found my husband’s phone number and texts him from time to time talking about how he has no idea why his only daughter won’t talk to him, “all I did was divorce her mom.” Which is also a lie.
So, yeah. Why do they act all dumb and shocked when they know what they did? They also like to pretend they can’t remember anything when called out on their unacceptable behaviors.

Someday just want to vent or share a sentence without it saying anything or going into detail. Nmom is a predator or offender, not sure correct word. She met my stepfather when I was a child. He was in high school. She was divorced 29/30. At that age I didn't understand totality of situation. She would express to me how she was victimized by his family and how they mistreated us when we would visit. Dating (use that tern loosely) a child. Few times would have company over She would be inappropriate touching, take off his belt etc etc etc. I had platonic male friend in high school. He came by visited one day. She slept with him cause she thought I liked him. I didn't just showed me more about her. I wish I knew a way to vent about stuff like this on Facebook. But without saying things I did. Being able to get it out makes me feel better. How do you do this

Not sure where to start with this so I’ll just put it out there. I think my father is abusive towards my mother and I have conflicting feelings towards him. I came across this post a while ago where it said something along the lines of “I loved him as a daughter but I couldn’t love him as a woman” and it hit home. I wasn’t sure in the moment why I felt such a rush of emotions when I came across that post, but after giving it some time, I realized it spoke to me because that’s how I feel towards my dad.
My parents have a traditional marriage. Dad is the money maker and mom is the homemaker. There is a huge power imbalance within their marriage. My dad has done everything for us. Has sacrificed a lot and I’ll always recognize that.. but no amount of sacrifices on his part will outweigh his shitty treatment of my mom. He has never hit her (best to my knowledge) however, he talks down to her. Talks to her like she’s stupid. Tells her that he regrets marrying her. Swears at her, insults her, belittles her (in public and private), threatens her with divorce, uses religion to threaten her and say he’ll take on a 2nd wife, and has basically stripped away any and all self confidence she ever had. And what makes me even more mad and frustrated is that my mom just takes it. She won’t say anything back. Ever. She’ll obv get upset and I’ve seen her cry countless times, but she’ll never say anything back to him.
She excuses his behaviour by saying that he puts food on the table and a roof over our heads and we should be grateful for that. And that shit enrages me to no end. He has no right to treat anyone, especially his own wife, in that manner just bc he’s providing. Im 25 and so I’ve grown up seeing this shit and I know it has impacted me in all the negative ways. I hate to even think that my father is abusive.. I almost feel so guilty and ungrateful for feeling the way I feel because he provides for us all.. but I can’t help the way I feel. And yes, my parents are the kind that think staying in a shitty marriage “just for the kids” is better than being divorced… because shitty marriages have never affected kids (sarcasm).
So I ask you: 1. What do you think of the quote I posted in the title 2. How is your relationship with your father? 3. Is my dad actually abusive or am I thinking about it all wrong? 4. Am I wrong to feel a level of hate towards him?

As the title said, I want to snap at my dad at graduation if he appears/ approaches me.
A little back story, I'm a 17 year old. And I'm done with my dad's bs. Some back story I've never been close to him even when he was married to my mom. He was that dad that would only be there for all the fun stuff, but never home and if he was he would always do yard work. Always putting a wall between everyone in the house just saying. He would always put the pressure on house work/ rasing us to my mom, and wonder why we didn't have the same connection as when I was younger. Before and after the divorce my mom has told me who he actually was and everything clicked. He would cheat and lie, things I've had to deal with in other drama I've been in and it's a hard line no one should pass since that's a line to be cut off. And didn't want to have a connection with him at all. I would since he's my "dad" but the way he has acted towards me isn't the best from what I want to do, the college location. And how he acted when I got in. I got the call from my college when he was moving out, I went up to him when I got into my dream college and rolled his eyes at me. A different day he wore the college t shirt get got out to dinner with me but that was one thing that broke the connection. He also shown his sico self when I was in the back of his car and wanted to find my mom to sign papers, my sibling thought she was at a restaurant but she was at home. But my dad went up and down every row to find her car. There's been others but can say all. I haven't been treated right from his family either, so when it was thanksgiving I walked out because I was being ignored for the 6th year in a row (my mom was the only person that would talk to me). And that was the end of the contact with him, he would text me how it used to be and how things have changed. So I blocked him 2 weeks ago after 5 months of ignoring his messages, he's blind to I don't want to talk to him, my mom has told him and me not answering him. He still doesn't understand. He doesn't have any accountability, always blames my mom for what happens, never his own. Only thinks of himself. Because of this he still cries, why, don't I want to talk to him/ keeps causing my mom more problems/ drama she doesn't want.
But with that anger I feel like I might be the asshole because I cause more drama/ make a scene, imbarrese my mom, and air out family drama Infront of my dad's "new girlfriend".
So if he appears/ approachs me and annoys me at my graduation AITA for maybe Snapping.

Im a 30 year old, relatively healthy man. I became a firefighter at 19 after dropping out of college. I loved it. I worked full time for one agency, part time for another smaller agency and as needed for our local ambulance service. I was the youngest to be promoted to company officer status in our agency's history and lead my own shift. I was on every committee, county training group, special detail, special teams focusing on technical and water based recues. accomplishments. I received numerous awards of recognition from my departments and my fellow firemen. I ate it. I bled it.
But then I got hurt. I lost most of my hearing, and I couldn't hear or understand anything coming over our radios anymore. It was hard on scenes with all the noise too. I was a danger. So I medically retired at 28. I was told I didnt qualify for a pension because "if you can physically do any other job that would contribute to the fund, the state doesn't see you as disabled". I had a job at a company that sells fire equipment all lined up and I thought everything was good. Horrible management burned the sales guys and basically halved our pay about 6 months after I showed up. I found a job inspecting fire sprinkler systems for a multinational mega Corp and moved here. That was a year ago.
I hate it. With every fiber of my being it feels like I've stalled. And I'm not happy. But I have no degree, no experience outside of the first responder sphere, and anything I am qualified for on paper is paying shit pay. Anything thats making decent money and I know how to do, but I dont have the magical piece of paper for, they won't interview me because I'm "not qualified". Ive tried looking outside of the fire safety field, and am super passionate about the shooting sports, but the companies that work in that field all want degrees. Ive managed projects, worked with budgets, preformed HR duties, and was one of the Shift Safety Officers for my agency. Ive also been told I'm too young for management, regardless of previous acomloshments.
The last interview I had was going great, I thought, until I was told decade of experience I had accumulated at my fire department wasnt worth squat and they offered me $19/hr when the postings for the job said $60k/yr.
I can't afford to go back to school. I can't afford to open my own business with my crappy wages. I feel like I've hit a dead end.
Any advice?

Hey, everyone! Today, I want to remind you of the incredible power of small wins. 🌟

Think about it: every time you make progress, no matter how small, you're moving closer to your goals. Whether it's finally ticking off a task on your to-do list, reaching out to someone you've been meaning to connect with, or simply taking a moment to practice self-care, each small win is a testament to your strength and resilience.
So, celebrate those victories, no matter how insignificant they may seem at first glance. Recognize the effort you're putting in, and give yourself credit for every step forward, no matter how small.
Remember, it's not about how quickly you reach the finish line; it's about the journey and the growth you experience along the way. So keep moving forward, one small win at a time. You've got this! 💪

I can feel a long post coming in the air tonight... 🎶
It was a few months ago when my fiance proposed!! We went on a trip, he proposed when we were alone in a beautiful place and I was extremely happy on this day, it was one of the best days of my life. But... the next day was a disaster! I called my cousin, lets call her Gina, and told her that I was getting married, I called because she was one of my best friends and we have been close all my life. Gina lives in a different city from me, but we managed to get together often, she stayed with me for a year after college and generally I thought we had a bf-cousin relationship.
I was always in a better position than her financially but I've always given her everything I could, I'd buy her clothes, I've been paying her drinks and meals whenever we got out and always trying to make her feel welcomed and safe.
l called to tell her the news but I specifically asked her not to tell my parents until I was home from the trip. I wanted to have the pleasure to tell that I am getting married to my parents myself. I am a lonely child and my parents were waiting this moment for a long time since I am kind of "old" in their minds. As you have guessed Gina CALLED my parents before I could return from the trip and tell them...
What a b*tch!!!
We had no idea, we were so happy, when we returned from the trip we first went to my in laws who are really lovely people!! His mother baked and neighbors were coming and my SIL came all wishing us the best and everybody where happy about us.
After that we went to my parents to announce the news and I was very excited.
Their reaction was I quote "ok nice, now please send an email for me (something related to their work)"
I was devastated, I had a panic attack and left crying at that moment. Actually I opened the door and stormed out while my fiance was trying to catch our cat that went running behind me. We saved the cat!!🐈
My parents didn't speak to me for 3 days and they were very mad. Remember, I didn't know that Gina blabbed about me and I thought that they were just indifferent or didn't liked my fiance.
After 3 days my mum called and informed me that Gina told them before I could return from the trip and they were angry because my first thought was to tell my friends that I am going to get married and not to my parents!! Personally idk why they were so shocked, since we aren't so close and I think my best friends ( including Gina) as more of my family (and the cat).
Gina didn't have the right to tell, I texted her but she avoided me and then I was so mad I didn't speak to her for three weeks.
I went to her city to straight things out and when I got there, she hides behind her fiance. He was mad with me for not contacting them for 3 weeks ( i think he just found something to grab on ) and I asked my cousin directly why you spoke to my parents when I told you not to and she didn't speak back to me. Her "lawyer" did the indictment and I said to him to stay out of this and that Gina can speak her mind without his "help and guidance". Finally she started talking and without the presence of our dear "lawyer", among other things she said that her fiance announced that they were getting married to facebook first!! And that was the way her parents found out .....you see where this is going right?? She was frustrated that she didn't have the time to announce this to her parents properly and i don't know why in this f** world but maybe she thought that I had to pass through the same sh*t.
I left silently because really I didn't want to lose a cousin over this, a mess that I didn't initiated.
Now regarding her wedding, Gina is not well financially so she struggles with the wedding costs and also she asked me to be her MoH, really I think it's because she doesn't have other friends, she hangouts only with the friends of her fiance. I accepted of course before all this happened and I planned and saved to give Gina 5.000$ for her wedding. After this story, I only gave her 500$ which she thanked me a week later with just a typical "Thanks".
Everyone is expecting, because i am more financially stable than my cousins ( Gina and her brothers), to support my cousin at her wedding, but I am f** tired. I am tired of giving everything I can, since I was little, so they don't feel less or unequal, I was trying always to be very careful with that balance. All I ever had in mind was their best interest and considered them the brothers and sisters I never had.
I recently gave my cousin ( her brother ) a car without asking for money and even paid for his insurance and other costs and he didn't even had time for coffee. I asked him 3 times to go for coffee or dinner, that I would pay, just to celebrate his new car and he never came.
When I think of my proposal I get all teary because that day I won a husband but lost a friend and cousin.
I've always dreamed that Gina would have the best wedding but now my heart can't reach the generosity I thought I had, plus when i went to her city she didn't come to greet me.
This is how you slowly become the bad relative, the Scrooge McDuck relative who doesnt ever give to other relatives.
Also my fiance is furious with all of them. And the cat, the cat is mad with all of us.
I dont want to be the MoH but she doesn't have any other friends (and I don't like the groom) If I resing all the other relatives will wonder why I am not her MoH since we had been very close.
Thoughts???
Thank you and sorry for the long post!!!
Ps: I am used to that kind of behavior from my parents so it doesn't matter anymore!!

Hey all. Really would like some advice and suggestions on a topic I’m sure a lot of you have experienced before.
I (25F) have a best friend (25F) who is married to a man and we all hang out quite a lot. Usually, my friend and I grab a couple drinks and then her husband joins us a little later. I a couple weeks ago, we were all out and having fun and I bring up this dating app I recently joined called Feeld. I asked them hypothetical scenarioss like open relationships, three ways, etc based off what I have seen with couples on this app and meant it to be a funny conversation. My best friend kept the convo going by asking me to ask more hypothetical scenarios and I never thought twice about it. A couple days later, she invites me out w her husband and we all drank a lot beforehand. I remember buying the husband a shot since my best friend was done drinking for the night. I made a funny comment about how it’s being a while since I’ve had sex and we laughed and moved on. We always share an Uber home and they just add my place as a stop.
Fast forward to the present, and she’s ignoring me. I ask if she is okay, and she sends me this paragraph about how “uncomfortable and violated” I made them feel with my comments and actions. She mentioned that I “crossed the line w her husband by being too flirty and touchy”. Obviously, I apologized and said how mortified I feel that I made them feel this way. I never thought or viewed either one of them in a sexual way
I want to crawl out of my skin. Never in a million years would I intentionally make my best friend and her significant other feel uncomfortable. I am so embarrassed and feel like our friendship of 3 years has been ruined. I have sm respect for her and her relationship and shocked she would thinking I would ruin that.
My lesbian friend feels there is a lot of homophobia / biphobia in play here and I feel the same way. I have been very open about my sexuality as it is a big part of my identity. Has anyone been thru something similar w their straight friends? How did you feel and how did you handle it?
Tl;Dr: my straight best friend and husband are uncomfortable by my actions and comments

Deciding to move to a line of a planet that rules the 7th house (or other relationship houses) in your natal chart for improving relationships is a nuanced decision in astrocartography. Each choice, whether it's a planet that rules your 7th house or a Venus line (Venus being traditionally associated with love and relationships), has different implications. Here's how to approach this decision:

1. 7th House Ruler Line:

• Moving to a line of the planet that rules your 7th house can indeed bring the themes of that planet into your relationship dynamics.
• For example, if Mars rules your 7th house, a Mars line might bring energy, assertiveness, or even conflict into relationships, which can be beneficial or challenging depending on your personal natal chart and current life circumstances.
• It's important to consider the overall condition of the ruling planet in your natal chart. Is it well-aspected, suggesting harmonious relationship experiences, or does it have challenging aspects that might bring difficulties? 2. Venus Line:
• A Venus line generally enhances the qualities of harmony, beauty, and love in life. If relationships are a key focus for you, a Venus line can potentially make it easier to attract and nurture romantic connections.
• However, the actual impact also depends on how Venus is positioned and aspected in your natal chart. A challenged Venus might mean that while relationships are a focus, they could also bring lessons and growth opportunities.
• Using Relocated Relationship Energies:
• In your relocated chart, observe how the planet ruling your 7th house or Venus is placed. Has it moved to a different house? This will indicate new areas of life where relationship themes will play out.
• Also, consider any new aspects formed in the relocated chart, as they can significantly alter the way you experience relationships in the new location.
• Integration with Natal Energies:
• Remember, your natal chart's energies are still active. A relocated chart offers an additional layer or perspective. It’s a blend rather than a replacement.
• If you're moving to a line that enhances relationship potentials, consider how this interacts with your existing natal predispositions. It might amplify certain qualities or bring new dimensions to them.
• Personal Goals and Readiness:
• Consider your goals for relationships and your readiness to engage with the energies of the new location. Are you seeking growth, stability, new experiences, or healing in relationships?
• Understand that moving to a relationship-focused line doesn’t guarantee a perfect relationship; it simply shifts the astrological backdrop against which your relationship dynamics play out.
• Holistic Consideration:
• Life is multi-faceted, so consider other life areas too. For example, a strong focus on relationships shouldn’t overshadow career, personal growth, or other important life aspects.
• Seek Professional Astrological Advice:
• As astrocartography can be complex, consulting with a professional astrologer can provide deeper insights and personalized guidance.

Moving to a line of a planet that rules your 7th house or to a Venus line can influence your relationship experiences, but it should be considered in the context of your entire natal chart, personal goals, and the complexities of the relocated chart. Astrocartography is a tool for potential enhancement, not a guaranteed solution, and should be used as part of a broader personal and spiritual growth strategy.

First off, I would like to preface this by saying that this is the first time in my life that I would be making some sort of written review for a movie or a series so pardon me if I'm going to be all over the place.
I wasn't really planning on doing any sort of review or posted feedback before I watched the movie so I didn't really take notes and stuff so kindly correct me if I misinterpreted some of the details or missed some of the scenes. I decided to write this because of how disappointed I was from the movie as a manga reader.
Let's start first with the animations and the cinematics. I got nothing bad to say about this because it was great and it was reminiscent of the great animation quality of the first three seasons and I didn't find some of the animation complaints I had during the fourth season. The music on certain scenes was great as well and the scene where the surroundings just turned silent due to Hinata sensing the "danger" emitting out of Kenma was awesome.
The first problem I had with the movie (not really a big problem) was the sub. It felt like some of lines were better translated and delivered in the manga than it was in the movie so seeing those scenes in the movie was a bit underwhelming compared to when it happened in the manga. This is the part where i was taking notes so i remember the precise lines lmao. I also hated that they didn't even bother to animate some of the best scenes in the match and what made the match so good. This is the part where i was taking notes so i remember the precise lines or scenes lmao. Although here are some lines that I remember off the top of my head and some of the scenes that they didn't even bother to animate which in my opinion are either very important or.

1. "My disciples are there too" In the movie they made it singular and implied that Hinata was grandpa ukai's only disciple when in fact in the manga they indicated both kageyama and hinata. Granted he taught hinata so much more.
2. Grandpa ukai and nekomata-sensei backstory and flashback where??? Unless I totally missed that scene cause I was looking to much at my phone lmao.
3. "We're gonna eat you alive!!!" (Again correct me if I missed this)
4. Dedicate shift where?
5. Again idk if i'm just looking away but I didn't see the scene wherein the nohebi guy said that tsukki reminded him of kuroo or when kenma fooled hinata by the faint. Or tsukkis inner dialogue on kenma not liking him very much. Or when azumane said "It's about time I get one too".
6. What happened to inuoka? With his rivalry with hinata? Or his flashbacks with kai?
7. SKYBALL. Next nekoma setter where?

Again I didn't take notes and these are the scenes that I remember at the top of my head so kindly correct me if I'm wrong.
Now let's move on to the game itself. This was the part where I was really disappointed because the game felt so rushed and so crammed to the point that there were times when I would just be shocked that they scored so much in so little time. I cited some samples in the previous part but I really have to emphasize the fact that it was so rushed to the point that it didn't really feel like a game.
I hated the first set so much. SO MUCH! Rather than a volleyball set, it felt like your watching highlights without any context whatsoever. So many dialogues skipped or just brushed over especially on that ending. They didn't animate or illustrate the moment when karasuno, who has never won a set against nekoma on any on their practice matches, had the rug pulled under them and how nekoma intentionally. They didn't show the initial conversation between tendo and goshiki in how tendo said that nekoma intentionally made it so that they caught up to karasuno just when karasuno was already thinking that they are going to win. It was the same the rest of the match. IT DIDN'T EVEN FELL LIKE A MATCH. So much monologue, dialogues, flashbacks that was crucial to each and every member of the team was skipped. This didn't even feel like a match between 2 teams but a match between hinata and kenma. They forgot what made the nekoma match so great to begin with and just made the movie a 1 vs 1 rivalry. The rivalry between other players was just glossed over and they forgot the whole team rivalry. (I rushed this paragraph so I'm all over the place lmao, i was planning to expound for each set but i forgot a lot of the movie)
I also didn't like the last scene of the movie as much as others did. I preferred how they showed it in the manga where it showed the whole court and interchanging it between the practice scene and the real game as it slowly builds towards the the end. Instead they just to do it in kenmas perspective and all he did was look around the court as a flashback. Although this is more of a preference rather a critique.
Anyway, to sum it up my biggest gripe with this movie was how they forced the kenma vs hinata rivalry and how they simply forgot all the rivalry and character development of the other members of the both teams. They didn't animate important scenes that showed the importance of each and every character in each teams (e. g. inuoka, kai, AZUMANE, YAKU (sadly can't enumarte all of them)) like damn. Even kuroo and tsukki got so little screen time. I really wished they just made it into a series but hey I understand. This was the better business decision for them.
I apologize if this felt more like a rant rather than a review lmao.
PS. the latter half of the review was rushed and crammed just like the movie.

Hi Coaches,
TL;DR: Can you refuse to put a player on a school team because of toxic parents and their actions outside of the program.
I coach at a public middle school. I have a student coming in next year with extremely toxic parents.
I first heard of this family because they came to one of our games to scout her future program and other parents reported to me they were trash talking our team (said our girls don’t know how to play and trashed some of our players specifically). Keep in mind we are the top program in our city, we were running over the other team 14-0 within 4 minutes into the game so I sat the starters for most of the game to give the bench experience. Even so, these are their child’s future teammates and we are a very tight team community. The parents who overheard were very upset.
A month later, I was told by some parents of girls I individually train that a parent has become a problem on their kids’ AAU team. He was using stats to justify why there were only 3 good players on the team so no one is allowed to shoot but those 3. The parent was an assistant coach who ended up overpowering the head coach, and created a toxic environment. When I heard it was the dad, this was their second strike.
I attended their next game to see first hand, and indeed morale was low, mom was in stands yelling, NO NOT YOU when someone who wasn’t her daughter tried to bring the ball up on fast break. Her daughter would only pass to 2 of her teammates so the offense was stagnant and they lost.
After the game, I walked by the family and the dad recognized me. Keep in mind they have never introduced themselves or had a conversation with me. He points to his daughter and said, you get her next year, like I’m supposed to know who she is and she had dropped 60. Keep in mind, they lost and she scored 1 basket. She wasn’t the best player on their team. The presumption she would make the team and be one of the best showed how low they regarded our current roster and how brazen their arrogance.
I’ve asked around (we are a tight community) and consensus has been these parents will 100% be a problem because they have been a problem in every program. Our program is known for its positivity and collective buy-in from parents, kids, to coaches. That’s why we are the top program in our city and so many of our girls have gone on to be leaders in other aspects of the community beyond sports.
I feel it is unfair to the player to have her sit out middle school, but I feel it will be a massive distraction and a disservice to the other families to expose them to these parents. I want to have her sit out 1 year and tell the parents upfront why, that they have to prove to me they can get in line with the values. My concern of letting her on the team first and letting her parents act out first will tank our season and more importantly the experience of the other 23 families.
Any other coaches deal with this or have feedback? Much appreciated.

Hello everyone, I am currently cad shopping and I was wondering a few things about Audis. I heard from many people that Audis cause problems and can be very expensive to maintain and repair. And some people say it’s better to buy an Audi that’s at least 1 year old and others say it’s better 3-4 years old to avoid the depreciation loss.
What do you guys think it’s best? Buy a 2023 Audi with a 3 year warranty remaining but take a hit with depreciation? And if depreciation happens how much would one lose after 4 years of ownership? Or should I buy an Audi from 2020-2021 to get a reduced price since the depreciation was already the highest and buy the war with a CPO and get a PPI to make sure its in good shape?
What is your take in this matter because I’m always between save money and buy a car that’s more likely to have problems or buy a newer car that I know will be in good hands because I do take really good care of my cars but take a good hit on depreciation?
I also want to mention, I been interested in a 2021 Audi A5 Premium Plus S line but I been thinking maybe getting a 2023 hence why the question above was asked. Thank you!

Hi folks. I tried to find an answer to this question and only found fence maintience / property line related questions.
I'm looking at a first home that was built in 1948 and is build very close to the back fence which it shares with nieghboors. The Nieghboors also have three sheds close to fence.
I view it tomorrow.
When I need to paint the house, replace siding, etc, how do I do that? Finding two-diemensional workers? tiny rollers on really long poles? Highly trained rats with little tiny tools?
I'm guessing it starts with reaching out to the nieghbdors long before hand and asking these questions, and perhaps they give me some window of time where the work is done and I make it worth their time by replacing the fence nicely, helping move shed and paying for some landscaping? (I know I know, naively optimistic. and expensive.)
IDK, Uncharted territory for me, would love any insights or experiences from the community.
Thank you!

Background: I recently bought a Newfoundland as a family pet, and I'm planning on breeding them. I live in Newfoundland (the province in Canada), where the breed is from, however the breed is dying in my area. Breeders have retired decades ago, and the closest breeders (BYB or Registered) and literally thousands of Miles/Km Away.
Having a Newf has been my dream since I was a small child, culturally the breed is extremely important to my island's history and identity. I picked up my pup on the opposite end of the country while visiting family and its been the best decision of my life.
Since bringing my pup home, I cant go on a walk without having a dozen conversations with people either wishing they had one, admiring him, or expressing childhood memories of when they had one growing up.
The Plan: Understanding the common pitfalls to validity of claims, and inaccuracy of DNA testing even if I went ahead with one. I think I have a decent claim of my dog being purebred (his sire and dame were purebred and from CKC registered lines, however I have no paperwork and will likely not be able to get any)
My Pup (Carl) is 11 months now, and I am in the process of adopting a dame as a pet and potentially breeding stock. (she is 8 week old puppy I have not yet received)
\**Before too many alarm bells go off in everyone's collective heads here is my plan thus far**\**
1). Upon receipt of my new pup, full health checks at my vet, and letting them know my plan to have at least one litter.
2). Regular dog owner activities until the Dame is between 1.5-2 years old (with advice from my vet) keeping my pups separate during heat cycles until of age.
3). Have a litter, with Vet support.
4). Market puppies PURELY as healthy family pets, full health screenings, with non breeding agreements. (neuter at 18-24 months as recommended.) *it was hard to site breed specific spay/neuter information, but this reddit comment has some https://www.reddit.com/Newfoundlandecomments/745qa3/comment/dnw91og/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button *
5). If enough interest is shown locally, the plan splits. and would be one of the following options.
a). Cease breeding and have my pets spayed/neutered.
b). Continue Breeding (with consult from my vet (particularly about litter health, and gauging market interest so no pup goes without a home).
c). Have my pets spayed/neutered, reinvest with AKA or CKC registered dogs.
finally the point of this post. From experienced and educated minds; What questions should I be asking myself? What are common pitfalls I haven't acknowledged? What are some unknown costs or logistics I should consider? What advice do you have, or things you wish you knew getting into this? How can I make the best of the situation outlines above, so that I'm acting as ethically as possible?

Field report from community member of Game Edmonton.
​
Friday:
Showed up like 2 hours before Greta closed. I cut the line as usual. Funnily these two 10s (blonde and brunette) approached me to cut the line and then I flirted with them both, joked about how I basically did the same thing and how we're exactly the same 😏. Talked seductively with the brunette. They're loving my vibe. They gave me an alco cooler but I gave it to some other dudes who were nearby and started hyping him up when he was shot gunning. Those dudes were then hitting on them, but I paid 0 attention to them and brunette opened me again and then we went into the bar, I threw in a flying kiss to the brunette who kept eying me and left them. They were on their way to meet their friends.
Later, opened this pinoy chick who was by herself, she was like a 7 in looks. Her friends seem to have ditched her but this girl is like a replica of that Ukrainian chick 2 weeks ago. This time I left her the moment she didn't respond to my lead. It's funny tho since they are dtg to diff spots of the bar and the dance floor but they stay put there like a rock afterwards. Girl kept eying me after I left her to talk to some groups of chicks. I wished her a complimentary bye at the end of the night.
Opened this one good looking black chick and her okay looking friend- I whispered smth seductive in both their ears hinting at a threesome. Black chick was pretty DTF, but her friend was not liking my vibe and ended up being a cockblock. YET THEY still trying to close the gap with me at the dance floor. I tried dancing again but the bitch keeps on bitching. 🤷🏽‍♂ They were playing hard at the end of the night- just ignored them completely.
I met the blonde and brunette's group from the line now. Brunette went home early. Blonde is now introducing me to all her girl friends so like 4 girls are talking to me at the same time (told them to stop talking at the same time coz I can't hear lol), and their male best friend is just sitting and sulking in the corner like a lil bitch. I tried being friendly with him but I'm not gonna be a doormat. He tried to later cockblock me at the dance floor by blocking my view from the girls. Couldn't pull because I thought the blonde was already talking to another male friend she seemed obsessed about. But later she kept reopening me so many times (even at the dance floor) saying "I love so much" when I barely gave her any attention lol. She's still liking all my ig posts and stories lol.
My new wingman Decentralized joined and we had a fun time talking to girls outside the club and I tried pulling another blonde but she was living very far. Group of black dudes were hitting on her and her friends, but I kept persisting and basically AMOGed those dudes and we are at the donair shop now, but settled for their IG because they lived far and were a tad bit drunk for my taste. Spam messaged myself from the blonde's friend's phone who was another blonde. My wingman was near me throughout after the bar closed so it did help in talking throughout to maintain state.
Overall great night- 6 solid ig closes- three 10s, one 9 and one 8, one 7.
​
Saturday:
Showed up like 45 min before O'Byrne's closed. Lot of quick interactions with women. Only reason I'm not rusty is because I've been approaching a min. of one girl since the last 50 days. Highlights were this one set with a blonde (10) and a brunette (8) - the blonde stole my cheap shades lol and the brunette seemed more interested in me, but couldn't pull. I didn't spend enough time with them to form any solid connection. Another set - where I knew this girl but she keeps playing around when I try to make solid plans to meet, she introduced her friend but I kept breaking rapport with both of them. They actually loved it but I left the set to talk to more attractive girls. That girl seems to be a bit flaky and I feel like she's a time sink. Until she hits me up on socials, I'm not gonna waste any time pursuing this girl who I tried since last August.
Third set was after the bar closed- two girls (blonde 9, brunette 8). They were down to go to a After hours club but I tried to test how compliant they were by first going to the donair place nearby to share food. I was hungry. Blonde was down but her friend who's the mom of the group and also a single mom was hesitant. By that point, I knew they were trying to just make me pay for our Uber to the afterhours venue. They also said they don't have ig when I tried to ig close them. Why would these girls still stay in set talking to me when they were rejecting guys who hit on them while we're in set? Anyway I seemed confused at this point so I purposely acted wishy-washy and uncalibrated in terms of being decisive and then instantly left once the brunette girl gave a more definite No. Honestly could have still got them an Uber prolly looking back but idc. Interaction lasted like 5-8 min.
No ig closes.
​
Things I did well:

• Approaching hotties 10s esp. who are in groups is like piece of cake for me now.
• I've been sticking in sets longer than I previously used to, but I need to do it even more. I seem clueless when a girl withdraws attention from me, but is still into me?

​
Things I need to work on:

• Going for the kiss. My plan is to kiss someone once we're isolated but again I'm with a group. I'll remember to ask if they're bi next time.
• Staying in sets longer for the pull. I can't think of anything to pull group of girls to my place except my DJing but I keep forgetting to mention that I DJ. They find out on IG eventually.
• Coming to bars/clubs a bit early. Get into flow state and so I can reapproach girls again after other dudes eventually bore them out.

Should I reach out and apologize? Please help, any insights would really help me.
Hi, everyone. I'm 20F and my ex 22M has recently broken up, 2 days ago specifically. He broke up with me and told me that is he is tired and that our relationship is going nowhere. The reason is that we've been having arguments for I think 2 weeks before he decided to end it.
Now, to be honest, I realized that I picked a lot of fights because I felt insecure and I feared that he's going to abandon me. For context, I was passive aggressive with my tone and that made him defensive. I opened up about my feelings with him liking this celebrity girl on TikTok and I felt like he is more attracted to her than me because I've been posting a lot of pictures and he didn't complemented me and I just felt like I am unattractive and that maybe he don't want me anymore. (Looking back, I honestly think that I am immature with this one and I recognize that I relied on him for validation and assurance that I was still attractive for him.)
To continue, he said that okay he'll stop liking to make me comfortable and yada yada. After that 2 days later, he started reposting again this girl on tiktok and started sharing her pics, now this made me panic, I know, ridiculous. He started going off on me about how I am so immature and he just want someone who doesn't control her. I was hurt by what he said.
From this argument, we started to have another argument and another and another and it just keeps piling up. So, I decided to communicate with him. I know I did my best to keep my composure while communicating this on chat since we're LDR. I didn't become passive aggressive, I wasn't rude with him, No cussing or whatever, I talked with gentleness as much as possible as I don't want to make anything worse.
I told him that we need to communicate, I was sorry for being so insecure and I'll just support him if he wants to be a fanboy over that girl, that I was just feeling insecure at that time and needed compliment from him. Basically, I was sending paragraphs to him to really address the issues that we're having during the past few weeks and also to really apologize. He essentially told me to "shut my mouth" and he just wants a relationship that has peace, he said that can I just please stop talking and such and this made me feel extremely unheard and invalidated cuz I know all I want is communication and reassurance from him that we're gonna be okay even after all the fights.
After he said that, he was cold to me during the following days, I was being distant too since I was hurt and since I didnt wanna make things more complicated by opening up again my feelings, I didn't really talk that much. Fast forward he said that we should meet, we ate food and he was saying "sorry" and he said that he thought we will talk and I was nonchalant during our meet. I was really hurt and this was not to punish him, but the things that was running through my head is that he didn't really listen to me and invalidated me during the times that I wanted to really talk and what difference it would make if we will talk in person if he doesn't understand where i'm coming from.
So we didn't had that much talk. After that night, he decided to unfriend me on facebook w/o communicating so I asked what's the problem and he said he felt disrespected by our last meet since I didn't really talk. And then I apologized and said that I did that cuz he basically told me prior to meeting up to shut up and that's what I'm trying to give him. (Not to be rude or whatever) I was just trying to really give him what I thought he wants.
After that he broke up with me and I can't help thinking that maybe I was really the problem and maybe I should apologize to him. I don't know if I want him back, I am just questioning myself right now. Please help. :(

So, this is a situation I never thought I'd find myself in, but here I am, needing some perspective. My wife and I have been together for over a decade, and for the most part, it's been great. But lately, things have taken a bit of a turn, and I'm not sure if I handled it right.
For the past few months, my wife has developed this annoying habit of constantly putting me down in front of our friends and family. It started small—little jabs about my cooking or how I dress—but it's escalated to making me the butt of every joke. She'd laugh it off as just teasing, but it really started to get to me. I've tried talking to her about it multiple times, explaining how it makes me feel disrespected and hurt. Each time, she'd apologize and promise to stop, but it never lasted more than a few days before she was back at it. It felt like she didn't take my feelings seriously at all. So, I decided maybe she needed a dose of her own medicine to understand how it feels. Last weekend, we were at a small get-together with some friends, and when she started to make a snide remark about a project I've been working on, I cut her off with a joke about her recent mishap at work (she messed up a presentation, nothing too serious but it was a sensitive topic for her). Everyone laughed, and she was visibly embarrassed.
She was quiet the rest of the evening, and on the way home, she told me she felt humiliated and didn't understand why I'd do that to her. I explained my perspective, that this is how she's been making me feel for months. She argued that it was different and that I should have continued to address it privately. Now, she's upset, saying I should have never done that in public, and some of our friends have messaged me saying that what I did seemed out of line. I'm starting to wonder if I went too far.
AITA for giving my wife a taste of her own medicine to show her how her actions were affecting me?
