I can’t imagine he’s gotten very far.

When it hit -25 in nova scotia the other week, the hot water pipe in my partner's apartment froze and burst when it thawed. It ended up draining all the hot water as the landlord didn't know how to turn off the water ><

As a bonus, the breaker box was in the same little dugout in the wall as the water heater, and the pipe burst perfectly to spray directly onto it.

Sadly that’s the very dark side of this disease. It does remind us why we need to stay sober. Suicide is permanent. My best friend in High School tried 3 times before he got it “right”. Took me years to get over guilt and what I could of done different. Bottom line the answer is nothing. Hang in there my friend

Before reading I was quite sure the story was about a millionare

One thing is for certain, you'll move on, maybe start a new life with someone new. All you need is time to heal. Time heals everything. Consider this an experience with a lot of lessons learnt.

Not all heroes wear capes.

He was awesome, but who am I to stand in the way of true love? Least I never had to worry about getting him fixed. He was a giant lump of purring comfort, even though I thought I killed him by giving him the entire bag of catnip on the scratchpad. Dude was splayed out flat, laying face down in a pile of the green stuff, drooling his ass off.

Kinda hilarious that I adopted him from a friend when he was just a runt of the litter tiny kitten. He grew up BIG. Not fluffy, just a giant black cat who decided if he was going to sleep on you, you had no choice in the matter. I had him for about 6? years before he ran off with Vincent. (That's the name I gave the boy cat)

I feel so bad for you, because I know what it's like to want your parents' approval, (not due to religious beliefs in my case, but for other reasons). Are you in a position that you could move out on your own, because that sounds like about the only thing that you might be able to do now. If you are afraid of what your dad will say, you KNOW that at some point, your mom will HAVE to tell your dad, and that's when the other shoe will drop. (and maybe fly across the room and hit you in the head, like my mom did me--and that shit HURT!!)

Are you working at all? Could you and a few friends get a place together?? At least then, you could have some time to sort out your relationship with your parents, without the fear of being disowned, or put out, (which seems like what you might be afraid of. I would be). I don't know a lot about the Muslim Faith, even though I have a few relatives who belong to that Faith. I know in a lot of families that DO practice it, that the dad makes the rules, and they must be followed, or else. PLEASE be careful, and if you can go somewhere til things get sorted out, do it soon, so that your mom isn't stuck with this "secret" for too long. Good luck!

Damn, you really did.

You almost ignored the signs and after one date and one lay you then started to get too clingy.

Don't do that. Even if you are soulmates, getting too attached too soon isn't good.

Wtf. Bots on steroids taking over r/tifu, who wants to read this shit?

He had no idea that the dude was going to rob the place. Dude got in and just told him to drive away. If I remember correctly they were only caught because of his license plate on camera.

Hey welcome to the club, do you want me to grab you an iced coffee?

In your defense, RATM is awesome

Unfortunately shit happenes, don't be afraid to take on projects like this. You tried and it didn't work out no big deal.

Too bad about Nala. But hurray for naming Suki and Katara!

Look on the bright side, at least you didn't drill into:

• A hot water line
• A steam heating line
• A live electrical conduit
• The pipe that goes from your bathroom to the sewer

Me too.

Well yea thus shutting off the hot water

You underestimate this cat's intelligence. I question whether he's even a cat sometimes.

Or possibly only the cold water going into the water heater!

>There should also be a water shutoff where the service line enters the house

This is highly dependent on who built the house. I did construction for about 10 years in the Southeast, mostly building custom tile showers. Maybe 1 out of every 10 houses had a master shut-off other than at the meter.

Sorry to hear about your disease. I salute you for your effort. I hope you are in a better place now.

Im interested in part 2, if you still want to share it with us.

Wait, what the fuck? Why was he found guilty if he had no idea?

As an autistic person, it’s actually not odd at all. Most people are used to seeing “Asperger’s” type autism so they don’t realize. It’s called vocal stereotypy or vocal stimming. Some people hum, some people yell, etc, like my nonverbal autistic child.

I don’t know this situation, but I do know that I won’t ever stop my kid from making vocal noises just because people look at them oddly. If they’re disturbing others to the point of being a nuisance, we leave. However, I will never train my child to stop stimming. It’s necessary for our emotional regulation, which I know from experience. I just happen to stim physically instead of vocally. So long as they’re not purposely being a nuisance, it’s absolutely acceptable. Sometimes it’s not a choice.

Trying to get back in the water this summer and overcome the fear. As a kid i would just freak the fuck out once my head went under water. But I've got a better handle on things these days, and after hearing your story, I believe it's time for me to learn.

I appreciate it man, hope you heal well
