I truly believe they thought they were helping.

At the end, we did. At this point my FIL passed away more than 10 years ago. MIL downsized and tossed most things. There’s really nothing left that we would need to deal with.
She still owns the most uncomfortable furniture. I was thinking that it might just be because of my size (6’4"), but my wife (5’1") agrees that it’s just terrible. There’s one chair my MIL uses and I wonder if that’s the only comfortable one.
Trying to avoid being rude, making them feel bad.
US. 20 vacation days, 6 personal days, 7 paid holidays.
Longest vacation I’ve taken has been about 10 days not counting weekends.
My in-laws used to do this.
I love them, but every time they bought something new, they’d give us the old one like it wasn’t something they were getting rid of. Easier to give it to us than throw it away.
The last time was a sofa and a love seat. We were stuck with the most uncomfortable furniture I’ve ever had in my life.
I dunno, we might have to get a ruling on that. Surely there’s someone in a powdered wig somewhere who can give us the official stance.
In my case, that’s not from having ADHD, it’s from having coworkers.
After a brief period of work in the morning, it’s nothing but meetings and calls until mid afternoon.
Remember to moan with pleasure during the strip search. Ask if they’re single. Touch yourself. Smile seductively. Have fun with it.
You must be fun at Disney.
I wonder if you’re banned for violating the restroom or more because you didn’t respect the integrity of the queue.
They should check in with Doc Hopper. Kermit isn’t the easiest frog to catch!
Accept the plane, say thanks, then sell it.
Now ICE is going to be going after Kermit!!!
The state has no say in the matter. Neither does the Democratic caucus. The Constitution defines the circumstances under which a member of Congress could be removed. The only way to change that would be via an amendment to the Constitution.
He’s a senator, so it would be the state of Pennsylvania.
From my googling, there’s no legal mechanism in Pennsylvania to recall an elected official. However, even if there was, recalling a member of the U.S. Congress would be unconstitutional.
The Senate would have to throw him out, and that’s not likely as long as the Republicans benefit from having him there.
Move all the books to the Canadian side now.
For me it is the faith in the non-existance of a supreme being or deity.
I agree. I prefer to consider myself agnostic rather than atheist.
I’m really a dishonest agnostic since I can’t really imagine a proof of deity that I wouldn’t discount as a hallucination.
I did have a dream many years ago in which I woke up with absolute proof that God existed, but then I went back to sleep.
When I woke later, I couldn’t remember what the proof was. If the proof was real, and God let me forget it, then he’s an ass and he doesn’t deserve my belief.
This is what I tell my co-workers:
Don’t come to me with a question and ask for the answer. Come to me with the answer that you came up with and ask me why it doesn’t work.
In other words, at least try to be the solution. You’re more likely to get help from those who can help you.
Start writing the documentation. Fill in everything you know. There might be people you help who don’t know as much as you.
Post about it, and give others the opportunity to correct your documentation.
Open the source code and see if you can start to work out the API. It’s all in there. That’s where the people who are writing it are documenting it.
If you put the effort in, then you’ve joined the team, even if no one invited you. Once you’re on the team, the people writing the code will see you as a contributor and they’ll be more willing to put the time in to help you.
