2024.05.19 20:38 Spare-Dream-8209 Mowed Over Neighbor’s Utility Cord.

A neighbors utility cord was run around the back of my house and plugged into the side of theirs. This utility cord was not dug into the ground but lying on top of it. I did ask my neighbors about this and they said they were meant to put it in the ground and that was it. There wasn’t any push from them or HOA to put it in the ground. Now the problem is the cord cuts directly into my yard. Every time I mow I have to maneuver it over my head and go around it in order not to cut it. Today, I finally decided to not move it at all when I mowed my grass. Not only is it a hassle but it is also dangerous to me while I’m mowing. So, obviously I ended up cutting it. Will I have to pay for the damages? I’m not even too sure what to do. I went to go tell my neighbors and they are not home. They are really never home because they are in the process of selling that house. And since it is Sunday, all the departments I need to get a hold of are closed as well. What should I do?

2024.05.19 20:31 Marsguy1 How to build up this concrete step to make it a ramp?

How to build up this concrete step to make it a ramp?
Concrete folks! This pathway connects my side yard to the sloped driveway which makes it a pain every week to take the trash out. I'd like to build a ramp to avoid this issue, and I've only done concrete work once before (putting a post in the ground). A lot of tutorials I've seen online reference pouring a new slab, but in this case I want to know *the right thing* to do when pouring on top of a 25+ year old slab with (so far) no cracking. See second photo for dimensions.
https://preview.redd.it/c6xypjknac1d1.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c5e7328fb139dd18b782069c1f4b0df808faf8b
My plan is to do it in two parts: 1) Build up a "platform" directly in front of the step to the driveway. 2) Build a ramp down the side (upper left of second photo), not quite ADA spec but probably 60-72 inches to make it an easier hill to climb, make it so I can push grandmother's wheelchair to the backyard. (I will not be driving on this obviously, but might move heavy equipment on it.)
https://preview.redd.it/ywz55r5bbc1d1.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0b0f856a072aca95653418f948656fae67859627
Here's what I've come up with so far based on what I could find online:
  1. (Somehow??) Drill two 3/8" holes into the rise of the existing step about 12" deep, halfway up (so, ~2.75") and stick a 3' piece of #3 rebar into each hole. At 3' it'll be about 6" from the edge. Get some rebar chairs to hold it up at the end. Find some kind of adhesive so the rebar will be secured inside the holes. Position the Homex expansion joint against the existing step, on top of the rebar (Homex is only 3-1/2", so I guess the bottom 2" of concrete will be touching the existing concrete?)
  2. Clean, powerwash the existing concrete surface and layer on some concrete primer using a roller brush.
  3. Build a form for the 30" by 36" section using 2 x 8 (I also have a bunch of 1" x 10" plywood - is that strong enough to hold the concrete in place?. Use other rebar to hold corners of the form in place. (Concerned about it leaking out the sides / down the end.
  4. Get a remesh wire mesh and cut it down so there's a 2 inch gap from the edges, so ~26" by ~32". Place it onto the two pieces of rebar + tie it into place.
  5. Mix a small amount of concrete to create a slurry over the existing slab. Let it cure for a few hours, Then mix ~450 lb of concrete (I have a 45 gallon tub) and pour into the form. Use an edger around the edges and broom sweep the top. Give it about 24 hours before removing the form. (I have a bunch of pea gravel, can I mix that in to the bottom to take up space?
  6. Wait about 3 days for the concrete to cure. Basically repeat the process for the ramp: drill holes into the fresh slab for more rebar, clean and prime existing surface, cut wood along a diagonal to make a sloped form, cut out a wire mesh, add homex against the edge of the fresh slab only, mix and pour in a single shot, use an edger, and try to line up the cross "lines" in the slab with the existing "lines" in the old slab. (Is there a step I can do earlier to simplify the subsequent "ramp" pour?)
Is there something I'm missing here? Is there any way I can simplify the work? Is there a step I'm doing wrong? If I just buy crack-resistant concrete can I skip the rebar and wire mesh? Is this too complicated as a DIY if I haven't done slab work previously? My nightmare is concrete leaking out of the form and seeping onto mine or the neighbors' yard.
Thank you so much for your help!

2024.05.19 20:24 TheDrippyBudtender Thoughts on selling back jewelry.

Recently made a move and am a bit strapped for cash at the moment. I have a few gold chains, and I noticed the price of gold was fairly high currently. The idea of having to sell pains me as they are pretty sentimental to me, however the extra cash could be helpful in my current circumstances.
Have you ever had to sell back jewelry or bullion? Did you find it to be worth it, or do you wish you could go back and have kept those pieces.

2024.05.19 20:24 ApprehensiveRip7666 I understand that it's fiesta but...

It's currently 2:22 AM Monday and the live band's been playing since 9 PM Sunday and I've heard that they won't stop till morning.
I live near the chapel where there's a fiesta celebration and they've been going at it for a week. Tonight's the worst. The worst part is that we don't have anyone to run to since the baranggay captain and most of the tanods live here, so they are obviously a part of this celebration.
I thought that there's the anti-noise law but apparently they're exempted. That's the problem with laws here in the Philippines. It doesn't apply if you work in the government, much more the head of the baranggay.
Although I work from home, my task is not easy and I can't go on leave because Mondays are usually busy. I'm not sure if my other neighbors who have work share the same sentiments. I just needed to vent.
Si Lord nalang ang bahala. ✌️

2024.05.19 20:19 Emotional-Relative43 Seeking Advice for Watson

Seeking Advice for Watson
Hi everyone,
I need some advice for my indoor cat, Watson. He’s always been very skittish and anxious. We let him out on the catio, which he loves, but he often prefers to stay inside, especially if it's windy, too hot, or rainy. He's a fussy boy, hates new people, and is very lazy. We try to keep him entertained and play with him daily.
Watson just turned 6, and we've had him since he was a kitten. During lockdown, my partner and I spent almost every minute with him for two years. Our work schedule has meant he’s never been alone for more than 3 hours, except when we went on holiday and had neighbors feed him. He loves our company and follows me around like a Pokémon in every room. He's a lap cat and loves cuddles.
We are moving to a new flat soon, and he’s noticing a lot of changes. We've taken him to the new place a couple of times to help him get used to it, but he was extremely cautious, shy, and scared navigating the new environment. With my new job, I’ll be working longer hours, and I’m worried he’ll feel lonely since he’s very sociable with us but hates having guests over.
I’m considering getting another cat to keep him company, but I’m unsure about the dynamics. With all the changes he’s already experiencing, I’m not sure if introducing a new cat into his territory would be a good idea given his age and demeanor.
What do you guys think now that you know more about him? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks if you bothered to read all this!

2024.05.19 20:12 Mimi126795 The downstairs neighbor falsely reported us to the landlord

Hi everyone, I just want to share my experience with a shady landlord (I won’t tell you that the house I’m renting is in Saarbrücken ;)) So, I’m living in a WG: my husband and I share the same room, a friend of us (we are from the same country), and a guy (he’s a student in IT). The house we are living in is old, the floor is lifting up/ ripping (they covered the floor with a type of PVC peel and stick), some part of the floor even squeak when you walk on it (I’m a petite female with 43 kg, the floor even squeak when I walk by, so you can imagine how noisy just walking can be). The sound proofing between floor is also terrible, I hear all the time when the neighbors upstairs fight, talk, or play music. This is where the problem start. My husband and our friend (let call him V) work at a restaurant, they arrive home very late almost every night (11 pm to 2 am). V’s room is directly above this guy’s, that’s why he can hear V opening the door of his room (his room has a sliding door). This guy reported to the landlord that we had something rolling, the landlord came up a checked and let that go, because it was not our fault. But he even reported to the landlord that we were loud, we did say sorry and try to whisper to each other in the kitchen only. But the thing that pissed me off is that yesterday (at 1 am), the landlord wrote to V asking: do you understand what quiet rule in German is? (They texted in German so this is a rough translation). Yep, just one very condescending question like that. V asked politely: yes, we know about the rule and we always try to adhere to it. What’s wrong? He replied that ever since we moved in, he received reports from our neighbor that we are noisy at nigh, and he just received a report again. This was where we know either him or the neighbor was making things up: Both my husband and V were still at the restaurant, I was in my bedroom, the other was too. No one was in the kitchen or in V’s room. So V explained that we couldn’t not have make the noise. The landlord just said he did not care. What? So now we know for sure this guy is shady, he once blamed us for the fuse in the basement of the house melted because we had too much electric devices running (a desktop computer, a few lightbulbs, and a fridge, and three of us were not at home). We have installed a security watching the hallway and the kitchen to collect proof just in case he tries to kick us out for being “noisy”. And the landlord is on the downstairs neighbor’s side because they are close (V heard them calling each other by their first names). Regarding the downstairs neighbor, we encourage V to go the toilet frequently at night (to roll the door as much as possible). I hope he farts, snorts, or sneezes so loud that the neighbor wishes he was deaf. But on the other hand, would we be AH to do that?

2024.05.19 20:08 Bend-Ashamed MILES is a fucking asshole

76 schools in the district are without power. 4 of those schools are badly damaged and included on the ones without power. As usual he moves the goal post when it doesn't go his way.
HIS plan and no one elses was to declare at noon today which schools would not be open tomorrow from a lack of power. Now he will reassess at 4PM and then again at 9PM so Johnny, Sarah or Juan, even if you have not had power in your house for three days, make sure you get to bed because i'll be dammed if you aren't going to school even if:
Your house has had no power and obviously limited ability to cook and you have no AC or maybe your house was damaged - you better fucking go to school.
or
You have been staying with a relative or neighbor and probably have not had much sleep as happens in these kind of situations - you better fucking go to school
or
If you were fortunate enough to stay in a hotel, mom or dad better have a way to leave that hotel no matter where they may have been able to find an affordable room - you better fucking go to school
FUCK YOU MIKE MILES

2024.05.19 19:48 XxryznxX The neighbors across the street aren’t as they seem.

Start off by saying my names max I’m 23 currently, I have some issues that i barely let anyone know, I’m bipolar and a bit of a narcissistic person. I don’t mean to be that way it’s just how I turned out, trust me if I could change it I would, I just have major trust issues so going to a therapist is kinda out of the question even if I need to go to one, I know it’s not healthy but I’m trying I guess, just not hard enough as some people say. The way they think they can talk about stuff that I can’t control like that makes me mad, I also have anger issues which is another thing I don’t tell a lot of people..I don’t mean to harm people it just comes naturally I’m a very open person, example: if you tell me if you need me to rate your outfit honestly, I’ll be pretty honest which most times makes people a bit angry at me that call it dog shit or something like that but they asked me to be honest, so it’s not my fault. Anyway I only have a few actual friends that I trust, about four people, I’m just going to get on with the story to save you boredom.
I moved in with one of my friends a few weeks ago, actually she’s my best friend her names Macy, also before anyone thinks that we’re dating she’s lesbian and I’m ace, I never really liked people that much I always found myself different from others. Through my whole my whole life people either disliked me or full on hated me, I try not to be effected by them which was kinda hard until I got to 8th grade when I stoped caring what people thought of me. I was alone for most of my life and I still am sometimes, my father passed away when I was younger and my mom went into a very depressive state, she still distances herself from talking about him which I understand. I love my mom a lot when I was young she was my favorite person and she still is I just can’t get over the affection when I was younger, people used to call me a mommas boy all the time which I would get mad at but I was, and I still am.
When me and Macy moved in together we did it to save money and split bills, her girlfriend broke up with her before we moved in together, she talked about splitting the bills and I eventually agreed, she’s my best friend so living with her wouldn’t be that bad I thought…I was wrong so, so wrong.
The moment we got there the neighbors were way to friendly and I don’t mean “welcome!” Friendly, they would talk to us each chance they got and they were so touchy, I’m not an ugly guy I’ll admit I’m pretty good looking, I’ve got called cute/hot by A lot of people, I normally either nod or say yeah. But their daughter (I’m guessing who’s a lot younger then me 15-16 since she looks young) keeps trying to touch me or make suggestive gestures to me. And I’ve told her parents “get your daughter I am not catching a case for that thing.” Safe to say they didn’t do anything..they were just pissed.
Also their mom Kisha keeps going into our yard every night almost and looks up at our rooms and she looks there for a good 30-a minute, until her husband Shawn comes out and scolds her, I always keep my window opened at night, I know it’s stupid but it helps me sleep, they both look in their mid 30’s. I know I shouldn’t be talking about them like their animals but honestly I don’t really give a damn if their dog keeps shitting in MY yard. Which is disgusting since they don’t pick it up even though I’ve asked them “pick up your dogs shit when you walk him.” I also occasionally go on either nightly around 8pm-9pm or early walks 5am-6:30 I have a strict schedule for working out, it makes me less stressed and anxious when I have work in the evening I work 9/5 I work as a mechanic, it’s a good job I like it, I also drive a motorcycle which makes girls fold (don’t know why I find it annoying) I also have a STEM degree, I’m not a stupid guy I’m actually pretty smart.
Macy thinks their just being nice but I don’t know if I’m just being over exaggerating but I don’t trust them.
(This is the first part! Btw it’s fake I’m just bored but I’ll make a part 2 ITS GOING TO BE INTERESTING IM TRYING I’m only 13 so it’s not that good right now)

2024.05.19 19:47 wickedtension AITA For Wanting To Go No Contact With MIL Over A Potato Soup Recipe?

I apologize for this maybe a long story as I have 3 years of information to put into it. So I (f22) have been dating my boyfriend (m24) for 7-8 years. My MIL did not like me from the start just because she felt her son could "find someone better." I have always been nice to her as I'm a people pleaser.
2 and a half years ago my boyfirned and I had gotten pregnant with our daughter. When my MIL found out she pushed us for about 3 months to get an abortion/adoption, which we kept saying no to. Since we said no she went to my parents to demand they make me abort/adoption the pregnancy. But unfortunately for her, I was visiting them that day and we got into an argument about it to which she said bf and I would be terrible parents because we both have "mental disorders" (depression and anxety). This argument went on for about an hour before my dad stepped in, forcing her to back down and leave.
Also during my pregnancy and for a whole year after bf was letting MIL do our laundry as we lived in an apartment at the time. I had noticed during this that clothes (mine, my daughters, ect) were going missing. I would ask her if she misplaced the missing clothes or gave them to bf's sister by mistake, which let to her freaking out. She would call me ungrateful and selfish everytime I asked and would threaten to stop doing my clothes and only do baby's and bf's. After a almost 2 years of her doing our laundry I finally convinced my bf to look for our missing clothes. When we went searching in her house we found 4 piles of some of the missing baby clothes in a garage sale pile. I was so mad and frustrated at how insane MIL made me feel everytime I asked I just left without a word. About an hour later she called us claiming she had "just found" so of the baby's clothes and had bf pick up all the clothes we just found. The worst parts about this is that the clothes she took were mostly clothes my family and I bought the baby and most were still brand new but no longer fit along with when bf came to pick them up she also handed him one of my dressing stated that she wanst planning on selling my fancy clothes.
When my daughter was born, MIL called us bad parents for not taking the baby to the Dr she picked out. And for a few months would bring up the dr she picked trying to convince us to switch drs. During this time she also would complain about how my daughter looked more like me then bf.
Last August we had to move back in with our parents because our landlord trippled our rent. Baby and I lived with my parents and bf moved back with his. And we lived with them for about 5 months till we found our first house in december. After we bought the house I had found out that MIL was apparently trying to convince bf to break up with me. Saying many things including calling me a golddigger, because I'm a stay at home mom and don't have a college degree(I got 2 jobs after graduating highschool and quit them when I got pregnant because bf wanted me to), saying I'm a terrible mom, telling him I'll leave him and take the house and kid with me, and claiming it would be better to break up, pay child support, and never see his daughter again then to marry me. Along with complaining about random things I posted/shared on fb. With this info I blocked her on fb. Which she also freaked out about on Christmas and ran away for 3-4 hrs.
Now on to this year. I caught her going through my things in my bedroom but when she realized I saw her she claimed my daughter lost her toy and was trying to find it.
I've found out from SIL that MIL is also talking bad about me to her neighbors and coworkers, claiming I dress weird and that I keep the kid from her ( I dont and never have), and that I'm not the one for her son and "he can do better".
I am now pregnant with my second and have had bad morning sickness that lasts all day. With this information SIL told me that MIL has been going around her house calling me a picky eater (I don't like pizza or fish) and that it's apparently not right that bf has been making dinner for the past few nights. She also has been complaining that I shouldn't be posting a potato soup recipe on fb. (No clue why soup is a bad thing but I guess it is)
And from what I understand SIL also over heard MIL talking about getting my daughter secretly baptized. Stated that MIL claims bf and I "would never know". Bf and I are not religious and believe it should be up to my daughter when she's older if she wants baptized. MIL knows this information.
My bf just ignores everything his mom does as that was how he handled her as a kid and refuses to go no contact with her. He has even stated that I should ignore her antics and "stop looking for drama" when I ask his sister to keep an ear out for negative comments from MIL about me. But with everything she has done I feel defeated and just want to be done with her and her crossing boundaries over and over.
AITA? Or am I looking for drama?
Note: this is only info from the past 3 years and there are some things I did not add that has also happened during these 3 years.

2024.05.19 19:29 Away_Log866 TA Update #10

TA Update #10
Time flies and we are already at update #10 since I started this TA series for Aero. Some of you guys wanted to donate to support me. I do appreciate the support and I did not expect to gain anything from this when I started the series. My only mission was to grow my TA knowledge and provide TA to the AERO community. I've included an Aero address for those who want to tip. Once again thank you for the support. If you haven't already, please see my previous post as this is a continuation. This is not financial advice.
Previous TA Update #9
IMPORTANT: Please send me AERO ONLY if you are going to tip as this is an AERO community.
Wallet address: 0xB51E44728E8C25f3cfAf8a93bB32f9886A9EB215
With housekeeping stuff out of the way. Let's get started as I promised to have a deeper dive/update as my last post was just a quick update.
Aero current update:
In my previous post, I mentioned that we need to see a quick or V-shape recovery if we do retest the $0.85 area. We did have a quick run-up until we hit the previous local low of $1.16244(Grey Line on the Fib level). That has become our resistance and we did not break through to further complete a double bottom formation to push prices higher. We continue to trend downwards at this moment with the current price at $1. However, pay attention to the MACD indicator and it has flipped bullish on the Daily chart(Blue line above orange - 2 green circles in the chart below). The last time it crossed bearish was when we started the downtrend from the $1.9 area. With the current price action, it tells me that the bullish market sentiment on AERO is still lacking as we weren't able to form a double bottom and break the last local high at $1.16244.

What to expect next for AERO?
One, we need more bullish sentiment in the market and I will discuss that below. Currently, the market is extremely saturated with the recent event with AMC/GME/Memestocks going up 1000% overnight. There's a lot of money moving around and people taking profits during this stage and cooling off. I would like to see AERO keep above the $1 as this is a psychological level. We want the daily MACD to stay bullish and not let the price action cross over to bearish again. Crossing over bearish will mean more downside is coming. On the weekly level, AERO is forming a morning star doji (See below). If the morning star Doji plays out - meaning holding around the current level. We can expect the next week or 2 weeks to have green candles. If that doesn't play out, a continuation of the downtrend will still keep heading towards the support level mentioned in the previous posts.
Weekly Chart for AERO - Please note that is a ghost candle I placed there to forecast. Not an actual formed candle.

Now let's discuss market structure and how it can impact AERO:
As I mentioned above, the recent event AMC/GME/Memestocks, has disrupted the market quite a bit. We saw BTC jump from the support level I mentioned in the previous post $61.3k to around $67k. This has also moved a lot of other altcoins and Aero also caught the wind to $1.16 from $0.86. To put that into perspective, that's a 33% gain for those who took the trade. I want to see BTC to break above 67k and eventually climb above the 70k area in the coming weeks to invalidate the bearish weekly MACD cross in Update #8. That will give buyers alot of bullish sentiment and could kick start the next leg up for the market as a whole. Just want to also add that last time AMC/GME event occured, it kicked started the crypto bull market.

As always, please smash the upvote if you would like to see more. Thanks for all the support. Once again, if you are tipping, please send me AERO only as this is a AERO community. Please do not feel the pressure to send me anything as I did not expect anything in return when I first started this TA series.

2024.05.19 19:25 Technical-Win2117 I’m living a literal nightmare (MA)

Three years ago, I (44f) was pregnant with my 4th child with my spouse (32 MtF) when she came out to me that she is trans. We had a very solid relationship and I helped take her to doctors appointments for her transition. She decided that we couldn’t stay in our state because she wouldn’t be able to find work as a trans woman, so we moved the family 3000 miles across the country. Once here, she worked full-time, and had evening school. She doesn’t drive, so I was taking her to her appointments, hair removal, support groups. She even started networking and making friends. It caused a lot of friction, among other things but basically my mental health was suffering because I never had the opportunity to make my own friends, nor have I ever been invited out with hers. I have been socially isolated for 3 years.
Two weeks ago she was getting out of bed and smiling at her phone, then held it to her chest guarding it. I felt something was off, said as much and asked if I could see her phone. She said “no” in a mocking tone I have never heard before and left. That night was a huge fight. I asked her why we weren’t getting marriage counseling like I’ve asked and she said her therapist was against it. I asked her to switch therapists because that is insane. She refused.
The next day she had therapy and I read that sometimes spouses with speak with the therapist of their spouse so I asked if I could. Without hesitation, she said yes. I thought it was strange because my wife doesn’t like having her flaws exposed and was expecting her to ask me why or what I was going to say. Instead, 5 minutes before the zoom she gaslit me by asking if she could stay with a woman I have never really been comfortable with if she doesn’t feel “safe” with me. (She’s been saying she doesn’t feel safe with me often lately and more and more each day. I am confused.) I recognized how sinister this was; she was trying to upset me before therapy. I remained calm, asked the therapist why he was against marriage counseling for us and found it was actually my wife that didn’t want it. I got off the phone and called my sister to book me a hotel. I felt scared.
The next day I came home and she and I made up, even had makeup sex because I fell for her lovebombing.
The next day, we were still good. Until I hit a tree root growing in the street and popped my tire. I asked her to help since she controls the finances and she was unwilling. She finally got us a tow, but then I was upset because we fight a lot about her not making an effort to be there when I need her. She then stopped messaging me, which is unlike her. I texted asking why she’s being so cruel. I waited for her to show up at home to talk. She came with a cop and an ambulance and told me I need to admit myself for a 72 hour psych hold. Confused, I walked to the police car and the officer asked if I’m ok. I told them besides utterly confused, yes, I’m fine.
In shock,I left to take some rescue cats to a lady I’m working with and just cried. I told her I don’t know what my wife is trying to do. I came back home and my wife was mad at me, except when she saw me talking to the neighbors, then she was sickeningly sweet. I went to bed in a separate room that night and around 11:30 I woke to her standing over me. She said she needed a charger, but I know now she was trying to see if I was asleep. I was in and out of sleep and went to the bathroom at 1:30. I noticed my wife was gone and the door was unlocked. I assumed she went to the home of the woman she mentioned and locked the door and went to bed. She called me at 2 am and told me I locked her out. I unlocked it and went back to bed, ignoring her attempts to engage me.
The next morning I started to drive my children to school and my back tire immediately flattened. I got out and looked, and there was a screw in it. I immediately thought that it was from her being outside at 1 am and she was trying to get a reaction from me to call another psych bus. I drove on the rim to a tire place, got it changed, and went to my doctors appointment where I documented I think I’m being psychologically abused.
Around noon she said she was coming home to talk. I saw her approaching the house with a very intimidating looking 6’4” trans woman. The woman introduced herself as my wife’s penpal of 3 months, that she was a carpenter and had her tools with her to fix things around my house. (I imagine a lot of screws.) My wife told me that this woman made a 6 hour drive in the middle of the night to walk around the neighborhood with her and smoke pot. The woman then starts to tell me I need to leave my home. That my wife and I need time apart. I play nice because I’m scared, but tell them I can’t because I have nowhere to go. My wife finds a piece of paper with DV hotlines on it that I got from my doctor and her demeanor when from sunny to dark. When she was alone with me, she was the same wife I married, loving, wanting to work on our marriage. Around this woman, she needs time apart. They left the house after dinner to stay at a house the woman rented and do mushrooms. I didn’t hear from her again. My adult son called to see how I was doing and I said good, wife is spending the night with some strange woman while I’m here with the kids. He was livid. “Mom! She’s been telling us (he and my adult daughter) that you are a danger to the kids and suicidal! Why did she leave you alone?!”
The next day my adult daughter begged me to come pick her up from college because “something is weird and [wife] isn’t acting normal. No one can get a hold of my wife. I drove the 1.5 hour drive to get my daughter with my other 4 kids in the car. My wife called my daughter around 6 to say she, the strange woman, and the other woman were at the house waiting for me. My daughter was frightened and didn’t want to go home. We got home and my wife and the woman were in her car across the street. My wife was crying and the woman was smirking at us. They drove off immediately. No sooner did I get in my home did the police knock on my door and tell me I have an abuse prevention order and I have to leave.
As we were leaving my daughter started sobbing and confessed my wife had been texting her that I am a danger to myself and the family for months. My daughter knew about this woman and was threatened not to tell me or I would ha everyone. She told me how my wife told her that she was going to have me committed and take the kids to raise with this woman while I “got help.” My daughter is processing enormous guilt right now.
She cut my bank account so I can’t eat or get a hotel. My daughter is staying at the house because after being with me the majority of the time, she can’t any longer because I have no money for hotels. I’ve spent what friends and family could send. I gave her the key to the house and she told me the locks have been changed. My wife has also relinquished the family dogs to the humane society. She has been going to work and leaving my two year old with a stranger she just met in person last Thursday (I stayed home with the baby and was her only caregiver.)
The woman left on Friday to go back down to be with her wife, but apparently coming back on Monday to stay at my house.
I have court on Tuesday. Please help, I am so scared they will take my kids.

2024.05.19 19:22 Massive-Success-6875 Apartment landlords only giving us a single day to move out for "our safety"

We've been living in these apartments for almost 2 years and recently got new downstairs neighbors, this location was always quiet and never had any issues when it came to walking around at night and worrying about dangers until we recently got new neighbors. At first they just had a lot of traffic and constantly slamming their front door which shakes our house, then constant arguing and screaming on a daily basis starting from 6-7 am until late 10pm which includes a package deal of loud bangs that sometimes shakes and has even dropped some of my things, now weve complained to our office a handful of times and were told they were actually felons and that they have been trying to evict them but dont have enough proof or evidence to do it, a month and a half passes and after dealing with it for a while now we adjusted until they started blasting music so loud it vibrates the entire room and i mean it VIBRATES unfortunately these building are not good and very thin not to mention these apartments are modern styled so theres nothing to stop any of that noise from bouncing off the walls and have also been getting more violent banging. The cherry ontop is they were involved in a shooting within the complex that has never happened and almost hit me and another family members cars as they were supposedly shooting the car up that was right next to mine. And funny enough a resident that just moved in that same day was living right infront of the were they were shooting and ended up moving out right after. Now after grabbing and saving footage to bring to the office in hopes of helping speed up the eviction process they explain to us that if we would like to move out before the lease they completely understand and would help in the paperwork of moving to a different apartment building. We didnt want to live here any longer after the recent events and ended up asking about information on just ending our lease and finding a new location entirely and they were not opposed to the idea but the catch is and i quote "yes we can move out but for our safety we only have a single day to move out the apartment" which is bewildering to me considering how complicated moving is in general. Any advice??

2024.05.19 19:17 TemperatureOther6637 Pride flag dilemma

This feels like the right place to ask for advice on something my hubby and I have come to a stalemate on for some time. Pride month is coming up and we are both avid allies and strong supporters of LGBTQ+ rights. I have close friends from the metro area I grew up in who belong to this community even though I have moved to the middle of the woods in the middle of rural trump territory since then. I would like to fly the pride flag I purchased for pride month on our lake property by the dock. Hubby is all for the idea in theory but feels due to the area we live in that it will be a safety issue. He is concerned that given it is an election year and the current political climate, that the 90% trump supporters in our area will cause damage to our property when we aren't home, potentially harm our dogs, put threatening notes on the door, etc if we chose to fly our pride flag. I personally don't feel it's right to hide who we are and don't see a rainbow flag as something that should provoke that kind of violence. Our neighbors are all strong right wing Republicans with hemophobia but that's exactly why I want to show them clearly who we are and what kind of values we represent and support including love and acceptance of all people of every sexual orientation. It's gotten to the point where when I told him it will fly on June 1 whether he likes it or not that he has now threatened to move out if I do not out of spite but out of genuine fear for his physical safety residing here. He grew up here, I didn't. Part of me feels I should take that into account but part of me feels like I've lived here 4 years and have enough of an idea of the current climate and don't feel its a safety issue. I'm sure it'll spark a fight or two, but given that I don't bring up politics in conversation at all up here because I don't want to start a fight, if someone wants to come to my home and fight with me about politics because I fly a pride flag during pride month then that's their problem not mine. I'm not here to make waves but I'm also not trying to hide anymore. I spent years as a PIMO terrified my mormon friends would find out about my gay and Trans friends and hiding my friendships with them and I'm done hiding. I know this community understands where I'm coming from. I also understand a lot of you grew up different than me and might understand better where my hubby is coming from with safety concerns too. What thoughts or advice do you all have about our dilemma?

2024.05.19 19:15 Negative-Mouse-3585 Phorid Flies

Hello I need some advice. I live in an apartment with 7 other units
For starters two years ago I lived in a building/unit where we discovered the unit above me was ABSOLUTELY filthy. The guy was hoarding trash and all sorts of things and because of him we had a MAJOR phorid fly problem and during that time I did everything in my power to keep the apartment literally spotless and they kept coming. Once they evicted him and cleaned up the problem and treated the drains they were gone for good. Few months later my lease was up and I wanted a bigger apartment so I moved out but to a new building not a new property.
I moved in and everything was fine for a year and even during the summer I did not have an issue. Fast forward to now here we are and dealing with the phorid fly issue again but on such a small scale meaning anywhere between 5-10 of them a day compared to the 100 we were catching/killing when I lived in my old unit because of the filthy tenant above us. I’m under the same impression that’s what’s going on again in my new unit/building. Especially because we did not deal with this last year. Before all of this and still during all of this I have been vacuuming everyday literally and clean all my counter tops, clean my toilet and shower once a week. I always clean my kitchen sink everyday. The inside of my fridge, deep freezer and the outside of my stove and inside is always spotless along with my microwave. I’m lost for words and I know I’m not the problem like last time.
Here’s everything I’ve done to determine this… -Cleaned both drip trays in my deep freezer and refrigerator (they weren’t dirty) -Pulled my stove out and refrigerator and cleaned it with disinfectant wipes top to bottom (which they weren’t dirty) -Cleaned the filter in my dishwasher that was collecting debris as normal -Covered the drains with a silicon pad and blocked off the overflow drain in the bathroom sink. -I have been treating the drains with a product I purchased from Amazon that contains citronella oil for almost two weeks. -Cleaned my garbage can in and out multiple times as I always do -None of my pipes are leaking or dripping -No wet rags or towels
I’m came to the conclusion it might be the most obvious answer which is my neighbor above me like last time. Come this Monday I’m going to call my landlord to see what we can do about this. Is it possible my pipes are connected to other units as well not just the one above me? Does anyone have any experience with this? The last thing I can only think about is my AC that’s attached to the wall. I’ve cleaned it many many times before along with the filter. Is it possible they’re flying from outside inside the fan and being sucked/blowed into my apartment when it blows cold air ? Is it possible they’re breeding inside of the AC unit? The only two conclusions that are left for me… There’s no central air and I’ve also thought about them coming in from the bathroom exhaust fan as a possibility but I have no clue if that’s possible

2024.05.19 19:08 Sizzle15 Acoustic or E-drums for apartment?

Hey everyone,
A little backstory: I started drumming my sophomore year of high school and eventually had to sell my drums in college because I was broke and had to pay rent. I just recently graduated with a job and moving into a new studio apartment soon. Now, I’m looking to get back into drumming because I miss it so much.
I would like to get an acoustic kit because I definitely want to try and start up a band and I love the look and feel. However, I’m afraid it might be too noisy, even with muting. So I’m also considering an electric kit, as it may be easier to keep the noise to a minimum and be more convenient for recording.
All in all, I don’t really know which direction to go and don’t know much about soundproofing in an apartment so I don’t tick off my neighbors. Any help or advice would be appreciated before I invest anything.
Thank you all so much!

2024.05.19 19:04 JeevesBadu Worried about air quality- a/c?

Hey y’all, this is what it looks like behind my air filter for the A/C. My downstairs neighbor (apartments) is concerned about air quality and has had symptoms he attributes to mold comparing them to a confirmed exposure he had years ago.
I had previously noticed a weird musty smell in my apartment at times and have noticed some mildew growing faster than I would think but didn’t think too much of it until he said something. My asthma did worsen about 6 months after moving in to the point that I had to start using a daily inhaler, but I attributed that to getting older (28). My cat has had some weird health stuff going on with no clear cause, and I’m starting to wonder if there could be something going on.
He got his vents cleaned out with an ozone machine, but I’m not excited about doing the same because of my asthma and my cat. My understanding is it’s a lung irritant and not great for pets.
Anyone have observations or advice?

2024.05.19 19:01 5280gonesouth FWP but I’m about to lose my mind

I know ABQ has lots bigger things to deal with and this is a very FWP, but what can be done about continuously barking dogs?
My neighbor leaves their dogs outside when they aren’t home. The dogs bark the entire time they are outside. Sometimes for hours.
This affects the 5 houses that each share a fence line with barking dog house. No one has had any success in trying to convince this person that their dogs actually do bark the entire time they’re outside. Dog owner is convinced they only bark if someone walks by or for cause. Nope, those dogs are boredas hell and bark to entertain themselves.
I personally have reported it about 20 times. Nothing happens. Zero repercussions. I don’t even think anyone has come by to assess the situation. City ordinance is against any dog barking longer than 15 minutes, no matter what time of day.
At this point, it feels like dog owner probably has someone on “the inside” protecting them. I know the previous owner of my house had issues with the dogs as well. This isn’t new. I’m really not unreasonable either. I expect dogs to bark, we want them to alert us. But hours on end is working my last good nerve.
I’m at my wits end. They started barking this morning (nice, quiet Sunday morning) at about 7:30 and are still going strong at 11.
Suggestions? Aside from moving or drinking. 🤪

2024.05.19 18:57 worst_driver_evar Is there a German equivalent of adult protective services?

I have an extremely elderly neighbor who frankly should not be living alone. At least once a week, she opens her window and repeatedly yells out for help. People on the street will ask her what’s wrong but she’ll ignore them until the police show up. The police will determine everything is fine, leave, and then she’ll start yelling for help again like five minutes later. This cycle repeats until she either tires herself out or the paramedics bring her to the hospital. I think the record was seven police visits one afternoon and she’ll also sometimes do this at like 3am. This whole theater has been going on for at least six months.
In my home country, the woman would have been referred to adult protective services and they would have worked with her family to move her into a nursing home, even if this was against her will. Is there nothing like this in Germany? What happens when someone is unable to live alone but they’re in denial and refusing assisted living?
Obviously the yelling for help is annoying but not really a huge deal… My larger concern is that she’ll start a fire, cause a flood, or suffer some horrific death after a fall or something.

2024.05.19 18:44 ironiccookies Neighbor's dog barks at my family every time it sees us

I've been living in my area for just under 2 years so I would've guessed my neighbor's dog would recognize us by this point and stop barking. Except it hasn't. Every time the dog sees us, it runs towards the fence and barks excessively. My neighbor did say sorry like 10 times before but the dog still barks. It's 5 barks then pause, then 1 bark then pause, then repeat. Sometimes 3 barks. And when it sees us for the first time of the day, it's over 10 long barks without a pause. Not sure what that means. When we have other people come over, my neighbor's dog also barks at them. It even barks from inside the house and even at night when it sees us inside our house. My neighbor puts a shock collar on their dog and lets it run around the block. They're the only one on the block that does this. The other dogs in the area are relatively quiet or have a leash when outside. One time the dog was out in the front and came directly into our property and brushed against our legs. We didn't dare move a muscle. It only ran back home when our neighbor called it back.
My city has a law where no dog should be running around at large or excessively barking non-stop. There's a little child in my family and the dog even barks at her. I don't know what breed the dog is but it's a massive brown dog. That's why my family is afraid of it. If it was a small dog we wouldn't care as much. In fact, we don't even feel safe going outside alone. We only go out in pairs or when our neighbor left the house.
What can I do? I've talked to them and they seem like nice people but can't seem to properly train their dog. I don't want to report them because it'd make my family look bad. We're the new kids on the block and they know pretty much everyone in the area. Even their son lives across from us.
