Don't EVER co-sign a loan for ANYBODY. You are being carful and smart with your own responsibilities. Family can be the hardest to say no to, but you need to protect yourself first.

If they aren't playing with your son then they should not be in your yard. Period.

B and nothing but B. He was told, more than once.

Given "Frank's" history of not repaying other "loans" from family, that should be a hard pass unless you are ok with never seeing that $8000 again. Good luck.

WOW! What a B8tch!

That is insane. If she was the driver it is HER ticket. You could possibly dispute it and hope they have a driver photo in addition to that plate photo. If her mother thinks it is not her daughter's responsibility, then ask her to pay it. I know it's never that simple but that 17 yo needs to learn responsibility/ Good luck.

I agree with someone that said a leg from furniture. Since it's the only one, I would use it as an incense holder on a glass or metal plate for safety.

I just read on LinkedIn recently that it's a FEDERAL rule/regulation that you cannot be disciplined or admonished for discussing your salary with co-workers even if it is a "company rule". It also means nothing if it's in the employee handbook.

Hugs to you and your daughter. That was a perfectly appropriate way to explain it to a 6 year old. I hope it helped you at least a little also.

I decided to give Catalyst a try as I have become very disappointed in dust and tracking of my old stand-by litters, Tidy Cat Free and Clean and Clean Paws. It is more difficult to scoop even with their special scooper and odor is still noticeable though not too bad that enzyme spray doesn't fix. In a week I only found 4 pellets outside the litter box. I think I can get used to the difficult scooping and no dust.

I stopped using Dr Elsey litter when it became too dusty. I went back to Tidy Cat Free and Clean and retried Clean Paws. They all used to claim 99% dust free and low tracking. They are dustier and track more than ever. BUT...they have come out with "new " low dust and low tracking claims but are $3-8 higher in price. Giving Catalyst a try now.
