Unfortunately, unless you have perfect aim and force, the person who can most quickly reuse the brick may be your intended victim. So just be ready for that.

As an oldster who becomes more progressive (and shorter) every year I have to disagree.

My weather is the same but I live on the first floor on a very busy Los Angeles street, so opening the windows lets in too much unfiltered grit and smog. I do step out onto the balcony daily to care for my plants and feed the birds, so some air gets in then.

If you have lingerie marked “hand wash only” you can use a clean sink and a little liquid hand soap if you don’t have liquid laundry detergent. Do just a few at a time. Plug the sink, wet the clothes but don’t fill the sink. Put a little dab of soap on the crotch and/or pits of the items and rub between your hands, lathering and working the lather into the whole item. Then swish them all in the sink water for a few minutes. Drain the sink and refill it halfway. (A full sink will splash all over the floor when you swish.) Give the clothes some squeezes and swishes to get most of the soap out. Drain and rinse one more time. Remove each item and squeeze out the water, but don’t wring them hard like you would a rag. Hang them up where they can drip dry.

Or get a mesh bag and put them in the washing machine in cold water, gentle cycle. Hang to dry.

When you find it necessary do this, be sure the conversation is also getting bcc’d to a home email

Yes I don’t know what happened there, fixing it!

Doesn’t really fit the requirements but actor/singer/guitarist David Peter Capaldi probably still has his old sonic screwdriver tucked in a pocket just in case.

I suppose you could become Big Tony by turning fat to lean muscle but that would only increase the mobster stereotype despite all the hard work. If there’s a skill or love you have, you could lean into getting noticeably good at it. Then at least you’d be Fat Tony the Mobster Who’s Surprisingly Good At Textile Art.

“Don’t care for” means “don’t like”

I don’t care for rutabagas

If so, it should work both ways for when it’s your keys that are lost

In my childhood I learned having the driver sit on the left was so that the person riding “shotgun” would be better able to fend off attacks without elbowing the driver. (Probably starting before shotguns, because it would be even more important with a sword.) Although they could use the whole road/trail back then, it would make sense to pass an oncoming wagon on the side where the drivers could see how much room they had between them.

Steel cut oats work well with veg. They can be a little sticky, go easy on the water because vegetables release water, and don’t really stir, treat them more like brown rice rather than porridge. (I don’t have a rice cooker so I do mine at half power in the microwave so I don’t have to worry about burning the bottom.) And add a little butter/marge at the end.

Something your therapist would not have to report is if you asked for her help to create an escape plan.

You’ve said the therapy is helping you hold a mindset that doesn’t just accept your situation. So you don’t have to go into more detail right now about why it’s so bad.

You can just make your therapy plan:

Step 1 “Persuade my therapist to help me get myself into a safe and sustainable living situation away from my immediate family”

with the promise that then you’ll do

Step 2: “Tell my therapist everything she needs to send in the authorities, in order to protect others in the family and community.”

She may be able to connect you to support services you couldn’t access on your own. Both because of her professional authority and because she’s not stuck in the house with him watching, like you are.

I’m wishing you all the lucky breaks, OP.

You could also become very necessary in the event it all goes wahoonie-shaped.

Sometimes you just have to book a doctor’s appointment to break your kid’s fever and make the slapped cheeks appear.

Often they’re sad he didn’t realize he had a bright future ahead. Fortunately, you do. Or if you didn’t, you do now. You can’t judge your life by how it is now. Especially with the world in shitty shape generally. But mostly because you’re young. Regrets for your wasted promise are a privilege reserved for old farts like myself. You still have choices to make, and time for them to play out. Choose as well as you can. And don’t be afraid to change directions as necessary.

I taught 3rd grade in the US, where kids are expected to have their printing correct and start to learn cursive. I’d say your writing is very neat and readable. It has some differences that most US adults develop when they’ve gotten used to cursive and then need to use printing. So nobody is going to have any trouble with reading this.

For instance, when little kids print, or US teachers teach it, the straight line on their e is horizontal. The stems on their a and m are straight and well-defined. Their v has a sharp point. Their f is tall, with a strong top hook and nothing below the sitting line. Their y and x made from two straight diagonal lines. And there’s no slant. But after writing in cursive for awhile, many adults form their printing similarly to you.

The only thing I’d suggest you change is to make the top part of the f stronger and more hooked. That’s the one letter that might cause confusion, even though your t has a tail to differentiate it. Your assignment doesn’t include a q, but I suggest you be sure to curve or point its tail below the line in the opposite direction from the tail on your g.

All in all, well done.

“Here I stand”

Dude, there’s your problem

Having reread it a few times I think it’s a typo for car. Although such a misadventure could easily cause a person to be late returning to the vet to pick up their cat, having gone to get gas while a procedure was in progress.

However, here’s the first “Maru and boxes” video, because you deserve a little nostalgic joy. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xdhLQCYQ-nQ

Sadly, Maru died last September but he had a long and happy life with lots of love.

Isn’t the water used for cooling? If so, discharged warmed water can adversely affect local wildlife, including the fish people fish for and the animals people hunt.
