I (26f) had a close friend (28f) from university who got married. When I went to the wedding I met the Bride's brother (28m) and we have since been dating a year. I don't date around and we are seeing a future together but also realists in life. They both supported the relationship, this is not the issue but a back story.
My friend from university is the main issue. She is a friend that seems 100% genuine but always wants to know everything about everyone and be in control. It's subtle and makes you question if you're over thinking or making things up in your head. She always over exaggerates stories. Over the years there have been little examples of this but always brush it off.
It came to a point when one night out our friend group was drinking. I'm usually pretty good when I drink and stop when I've got my limit and enjoy a fun rest of the night out tipsy but having no more alcohol. My friend herself does not drink but the whole night was spiking my drink with more alcohol. Even after I, in a fun way, declared I was just on the fizzy drinks she kept putting alcohol in when I wasn't looking. I even said out load to everyone "oh this tastes funny" at the time but being drunk I didn't really think too much more of it. That night and next morning I was confused as to how I got so much more drunk after not drinking anymore but as you would.. I didn't think any more about it.
Two of the guys in the group separately without my prompt approached me saying what she had done, alcohol in my drinks. I spoke to her privately and said, "hey fun night, but I didn't enjoy being that out of control so no big deal but next time don't spike my drink past me saying no more" just trying to not make it a big deal but wanting to trust going out drinking with the group again. Anyway, she denied the whole thing and spent the rest of this group trip gaslighting and discrediting me in any way. I thought this was such an over reaction as I genuinely asked in the nicest way not to spike my drink and in private so she didn't have to be embarrassed. If she had just said sorry we would laugh it off as an accident and fun night out.
From then she and her wife have been isolating me from the group and been attaking me with horrible messages and making stuff up about me to divide me from the group. I could just accept it and move on with my life wothout this group but 1) I don't feel I should have to be the one to put up with this and be treated like this, they are also my friends. And 2) I am going out with with one of the group who is also the wife's brother. So will always be tied to these people at family functions.
My bf sees the issue but says oh well just ignore it. How do I ignore that. On future meet ups they would refuse to give me the details like a meet up time knowing they could tell everyone else last minute as they all live close by but I am a 2 hour train ride away and have to book the train ticket the day before for the ticket to not be 3x the price. And when I asked everyone else in the group including my bf they would say.. I don't know the time ask them. It's enough to make you think you have gone crazy. My bf could definitely do a lot more be on my side but he has tried to bring it up with them but they shout a lot at him and threaten to talk bad about me to their mum.. What a threat? So from this he just says don't say anything to ruin the peace. How is that my problem. That is such a gaslight thing to do..isolate me then be annoyed at me when i have a problem with them being horrible to me.
My bf still hangs out in the group, in my eyes supporting their behaviour. I have lost a lot of time crying about all this so the fact he doesn't show me more support makes me more upset.
They are all telling me I'm over reacting and if I can't calm down then just leave the group. I have had to block most of them after so many horrible messages. And as good as split from the group. But am I right to be upset when my bf for still hanging with them and wanting to go on holiday of a lifetime with them all. With these people who are happy to be that horrible. If it was just his sister at a family event I might understand but this.. And knowing I'll have to see my friend and the sister at family events.
I would be willing to forget it all of they just said sorry and stop acting like this but I can't talk to them without being attacked.
Tell me if I'm losing my mind or if I am the AH.
Trust me I am trying to ignore the whole thing and be cool whenever my bf is with them but I just can't seem to. And don't think it should have to. I am always the pushover and it's weighing on my mental health
TIA
I am looking for an audiobook of Alice through the looking glass by Lewis Carol I listened to it when I was younger but lost my ipod it was stored on. It must be at least 20 years old.
I cannot find this specific recording anywhere but it is so sentimental to me I am obsessed with finding it.
It was read by a male. I believe English or at least non animated voice/style of they are American. I'd say a deep voice. Monotone almost. It was unabridged with even the intro and jabberwocky poem before chapter one.
I have searched google and obvious audiobook sites but no luck.
If anyone can help that would be much appreciated. Maybe a link or name of a reader.
Thank you in advance

For the sake of transparency, yes, we have been removing the Pride Anthology posts. Having now been made aware that this anthology was endorsed by CGL, the Mods will discuss how to proceed. Please be patient with us. To address rumor and speculation, yes, the posts have been removed for violation of Rule 1.
For context, here is the full text of Rule 1:
"We allow anything, as long as it is talking about Battletech. However, it is not appropriate to use Battletech as a veneer to discuss the Real World, politics, or current events in this subreddit. The year 1988 serves as a line when it comes to judging whether a post is actually about Battletech. The farther away from that line towards the present a real-world event mentioned is, the more the topic is presumptively about the real world and not about Battletech and the higher the burden."
The removed post was a fan-made anthology covering LGBT+ characters in the BattleTech setting. This is acceptable according to the first sentence. The second sentence, however, points out that it is not appropriate to use BattleTech as a veneer to discuss real world politics or current events in this subreddit. The very label of "Pride" on the anthology is what runs afoul of this rule. And, as Pride month is a relatively recent thing in modern history (1999), it runs afoul of that 1988 statement as well. We hold these standards up for every topic, from the war in the Ukraine, to people painting mechs/tanks in WWII Wermacht (Nazi Germany) camo schemes, to a fan-made merc unit called the Gay Death Legion. Posts about all of these topics have been removed.
Essentially, on this subreddit, the real world doesn't exist. Discussion and/or artwork of LGBT+ characters in the setting is one thing, but we don't announce Pride. In much the same way, we don't announce Asian/Pacific Islander, Black History, D-Day, Pearl Harbor's anniversary, Veteran's/Memorial/Labor day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any other such celebrated holidays or history months. Those are real-world things, some of which are politically charged, and we do are best to kill those battles (in accordance with Rule 1) before they begin. The holidays that are "celebrated" on this subreddit are generally the in-universe (or meme) ones, such as May 20th - the end of the Battle of Tukkayid.
The setting drew from (at the time) common tropes in sci-fi and war fiction. The Draconis Combine and Capellan Confederation are particularly egregious examples of the more negative tropes used to build a future setting from 1988. Red and Yellow Peril were rampant then - less so today, but unfortunately they are not yet completely gone. Additionally, there were tanks and ships named for Real World folks that participated in the commission of Real World atrocities (Rommel and Von Luckner, among others). As time in the Real World moved forward and the developers realized the mistakes these represented, those things were phased out or flatly removed. As such, we don't allow people in here to debate, for example, the change of the Rommel tank to the Patton tank. We don't tolerate bigoted remarks targeting any of the factions or specific redditors, either. Those go against the basic rules of Reddit itself, and they are nuked as soon as they are seen and/or reported. Along these lines, we also don't allow debates over the Catalyst vs Blaine Lee Pardoe issue. That's very much a Real World thing.
The point is that these standards are applied evenly across every participant and topic on this subreddit, as best we can, regardless of personal feeling or bias. These are the rules that participants agreed to follow when they clicked the "join" button. These are the rules we've agreed to uphold as Mods. We are happy to let fans share how they view the universe. We are happy to let them tell stories featuring their own characters. "However, it is not appropriate to use Battletech as a veneer to discuss the Real World, politics, or current events in this subreddit."
For what it's worth, I am part of the LGBT+ community myself. I have also read quite a few of the comments on the posts, including those about Yen-Lo-Wang. These comments will be brought up in our Mod discussion.
Again, please be patient and give us time to further discuss this. Posts concerning the anthology will continue to be removed until we have come to a consensus.
Thank you.

Love my 1990 CRX HF but 5 summers in Texas in a non-A/C car is enough, I've decided (the CRX will not be for sale, sry).
The CRX is my first Honda, and like the brand but not married to it. My other thought is a Toyota 86/ Subaru BRZ, (also used.) Still just weighing options, open to other suggestions, but mostly:
TELL ME WHY I DON'T WANT A 9TH-GEN CIVIC Si COUPE

Howdy Redditors! I’m 38 and I am from Texas. I come here in search of an emotional affaiconnection. Obviously things at home are not so great or I wouldn’t be seeking something more, right?! Basically I’d like to find a woman that is more emotionally available, wants to actually talk/listen about the day, someone who is kind and caring. I would like to find someone who tries to be positive everyday and will be there for me like I will be there for them. What I look for in a woman is simple, a pretty smile and beautiful eyes. Body type and features like that are not issues for me, I’m more into personality first. As far as age range I would prefer to find someone between the ages of 29-49, but if you are a little younger or older I’m ok with that. Also your home situation doesn’t have to be similar to mine, I just want to meet someone that I can build an emotional connection with first. I know physical attraction is a key part to this as well as so sexual connections, but I want to start with building a good relationship before the physical part. I want there to be a a level of trust built. So I have rambled on enough about what I am looking for, now it’s time for me to describe myself, I’m 6’1” and I weigh 230lbs, I’m not overweight but I’m no bodybuilder either. I have brown hair, brown eyes and a beard. I try to be a respectful, southern gentleman. I’m an open book and I don’t mind answering any type of questions. My number one rule is please don’t ghost me! Also if you are in an open relationship I would be ok with that. If you have made it this far and I sound like what you are looking for feel free to send me a chat!

I had to exhaust all pto before starting my maternity leave so I really don’t have any but I still have my Floating Holidays. There is nothing stated about when we can use pto again just that it couldn’t be added to our actual leave.
I’m going back Monday and my kids have a half day on Friday that I’m not sure I’ll be able to find anybody to cover. I’m also trying to fill in some gaps in the last two weeks of school before camp starts. I know it’s not ideal and I’m sure it will piss some people off but I don’t think my boss would mind. I’ve heard from a few people that they’ve been drowning the past few months between me and another coworker being out so I already feel bad. Is it wrong of me to split up my floating holidays so I can work a few partial days so soon after going back?

Basically just the title.
Roster 176 only 1 wealth rune. I have a job, can’t make lagoon island and when I do during holidays I can’t get the damn wealth rune. Omnium star never dropped for me from Moake so I had to do the Unas quest for a month to get my last omnium star for legendary. I think there should be another way of getting these things since many characters/their engraving playstyles revolve around wealth runes. I’m fine with shit honing odds, weapon quality odds, stones, bracelets, gems, etc. since these are a feature necessary to keep the player engaged to up their item level/dmg and increase gold income and also experiencing new content but I cannot fathom how nearly every class requires wealth runes if they’re going a spec build and the wall is kept by RNG
Swiftness is easier, sure. But is that seriously the payoff for not running as much wealth runes as its spec variant? If a player has honed their characters up, rolled their weapon qualities, stones, bought accessories, and has the required gems to play their class and bought legendary engravings 5x3 shouldn’t that have been the “wall” in this scenario? Why is it that the spec counterpart of a class be prevented by such horrid RNG and collection experience? Congrats to you all for getting your wealth runes but damn just to acquire them is probably the worst thing I’ve ever seen in a video game to vertically progress a character’s playstyle and build.

Been with my boyfriend for almost 2 years now, I’m gonna skip the whole story because I cba, I simply cannot trust this person, had he given me a reason not to? Yes and no, no because he’s always loyal and we have our locations blah blah. Lah, YES because he once gave his ig to a “friend” at a pub. Knowing how I’d feel about that and he even was told by his best friend that (me) won’t like that if she sees that on your followers, exactly, I didn’t like it in fact ever since my trust bar had gone to 0% and I’d lie to him and tell him yeah I trust you and other things. I know how men think and how men look at other women and I hate it, but I’m a person who’s been hurt by men in very horrible atrocious ways.. and no matter how loving and kind and other things, I simply can, he’s at a birthday party today and I simply can’t wrap my head around what he’s doing who is he looking at, does he want that person? Is he looking because he wants her? I CANT, im losing my head over this and it’s serious, I might need healing or whatever you want to call it, but he’s going on a LADS HOLIDAY and it’s killing me inside, we’re going on holiday together before that but still. I can’t handle it, I’m so pissed and angry inside I can’t sleep at night, I’m struggling to close my eyes because I know what holidays can be, I can’t, it’s driving me insane, I really want to wrap this thing up and tell him I can’t trust you and I don’t think I’ll ever will, but he won’t understand, there’s no way I can trust anyone in this world. I’m so scared of being hurt and that heartbroken feeling I’m willing to give up this 20 months together, it makes me feel so bad and so toxic, I hate his friends and I hate that he goes out with them, yes toxic, nothing I can do about that and I admit it, but I can’t do this anymore I can’t spend my whole days and months overthinking about what goes inside his head, he tends to keep details of “insignificant “ things to himself, knowing I can know when someone is lying or hiding something from me, honestly, I really can’t do this anymore, I don’t see a long term relationship anymore because of this, I don’t think I’m ready for a lifetime of this, I don’t think I can do it. It’s tiring and sucks my happiness, I wish he’d do something bad so I can just move on.

I've come up with this plan to follow through during the June holidays in preparation for mid years right after holidays. Was wondering if other students could share their personal experience studying for MYEs or their own plan. Thank you! :)
Here's mine: - With available resources to past year examination papers and supplementary questions from each chapter;

1. Complete any overdue lectures or tutorials back from term 2
2. Start making notes for every chapter for every content based subject (4 H2)
3. Attempt and mark the extra questions from every chapter tested for all the subjects with reference to notes
4. Try 1 or 2 past year papers for each subject with reference to notes
5. Start memorising any relevant content needed
6. Try the rest of the past year papers without reference to notes

For those who attended the Lovejoy concert in Dallas, Texas. How much did the tickets cost per person?

Sorry I’m advance, on mobile. I just need to vent for a minute. I’ve been separated for a little over a year and divorced for about six months. For the first year of my separation, my ex lived in another city and only saw our son 3 times that year due to distance and other circumstances (we met in the middle once for a week long trip so they could see each other, and twice he visited our city for holidays). It’s not perfect, but I can at least say that we do our best to coparent well and be respectful of each others’ needs and desire to be around our kid.
Technically, I have 100% physical custody, but as long as my ex is doing well (he has a serious mental health condition that requires inpatient care at times) he sees our son most weekends for a bit and has him 2 days a week in the summer, and during the school year he’s just responsible for getting him on and off the bus on those days.
Early in the separation I lived with my mother for about 6 months, and she also has my grandmother living with her. I bought my own house at the end of last year and live 30 minutes from them now. I’ll be the first to admit it was a lot on everyone, and that it couldn’t have been easy having us show up on their doorstep, and I’m grateful, but they act like THEY are my son’s parents now, instead of my ex and I, and it’s starting to create serious problems.
Essentially, they seem to think they should also be factored into our custody schedule. They still see my son at least 1-2 times a week for family events or to meet for dinner. Yesterday, my mom called me and said “Well, I wish you’d at least let me have him one day a week, we used to see him every day, and now we don’t see him at all. Grandma (her mother, kids great grandmother) hasn’t seen him in forever!”
Guys, they saw him Monday for a Memorial Day picnic and Tuesday we met for dinner. This conversation happened on Friday and they live a half an hour away. They hadn’t seen him in two and a half days. That’s it.
My mother also got upset because my five year old “didn’t pay attention” to my grandmother.my mother and grandmother have a very problematic relationship and it’s a whole thing, but this is a constant theme. My grandmother has NO boundaries. She has tried to commission work on MY house without my consent to more suit her desires for how it should look. She bought me a bunch of clothes that she thinks will “look better on me” (she and my mother recently told me some short shorts I was wearing would make me a “laughingstock” because they didn’t like how I looked in them. They are of the opinion women who are mothers should only wear big sweatpant style shorts and sweatsuits for “modesty”). Did I mention, half of the clothes she bought me came from the men’s section at Walmart? I’m grateful for any gift, but this gift was specifically given with the intent to control me at best and insult/ hurt me at worst. She has done the clothes thing to me every year since I hit puberty. It’s a whole other thing, probably more suited to another sub than here, but just to paint a picture of who she is I thought I’d include that story here.
All this to say, this behavior bleeds over into her relationship with my child. She frequently will grab him as soon as he enters the home (like literally waiting at the front door and blocking off entry into the house, grabs his wrists and tries to kiss him and hug him even when he is screaming and literally sobbing and saying please stop). She also tries to pay him to kiss her. She will give him five dollars and then say “I gave you five dollars, now you have to kiss me.”
I find this behavior VERY PROBLEMATIC and have explained to them the lessons it could teach that would be negative. I put a stop to it each and every time but after six years, I still have not gotten any relief from their constant boundary breaking. They seem to think they have some kind of ownership of my son m, especially since the divorce, and a right to him. They don’t understand that my ex and I have a custody arrangement and that my ex will always come first. Not to mention of course that he could absolutely take me back to court to reassess a more formal arrangement if he felt I were abusing what we have now, which he would be well within his rights to do (and I would never abuse it).
On top of this, holidays are a nightmare for us now. Every time I don’t have my son for one or split it with my ex it’s a constant barrage of “how sad, WE never see him.” Or “next holiday Ex Husband doesn’t get him, we do!” Other extended family “Aunts, family friends, etc) have echoed this sentiment. Divorce is pretty rare in my family, so I guess it hasn’t been encountered much? Idk. I’m not the only one though.
THAT IS NOT HOW THIS WORKS. I HAVE A CUSTODY AGREEMENT. MY EX AND CHILD DESERVE TO SPEND HOLIDAYS TOGETHER SOMETIMES.
Because I technically have full physical custody, I think they think that I can just fuck around and not include my ex in things as desired. First and foremost, my ex will always be my sons father. he is not perfect, and you can see evidences by previous posts that we have things that we don’t agree on.But he does have rights, my son loves him, and he is a good parent. Our custody agreement is written the way it is to protect our son in the event that my ex’s mental health does not allow him to make sound decisions as a parent for a period of time. I do not believe it’s right to take advantage of this to suit mine and my family’s will for holidays and other dates that he would be able to watch our son. It’s not fair to my ex, and it’s not fair to my son.
I explain to my mom that she’s always first on the list if my ex cannot take our son one day. She has retired so her schedule is pretty open, so typically she is able to take him even on short notice. I appreciate her immensely and I know he loves my mom very much as she is a wonderful grandmother, but his great grandmother also living there makes it difficult as she is unpleasant be around and has no respect for his wishes or mine as his parent. There’s also a whole other argument to be made about whether or not they’re physically capable of watching him due to their physical limitations, but that’s a whole other thing.
I’m exhausted to the point of tears. I hate it. I have no boundaries, no life of my own. Even my divorce has somehow become about them, and this is reflective of how my entire life has gone.
Anyone else have extended family who is just so disrespectful if custody arrangements? I feel like most peoples problem is with their ex not respecting it, but here I am having to fight my own family.

Hey everyone. I'm looking for someone to talk to and get to know, with the possibility of it evolving into something more.
A little about me: I just moved to western Texas a few months ago to follow my dreams and fly planes! I'm originally from the northeast, but I've lived all over the country. I plan on being out here until about this time next year when I should have enough flight hours to work for an airline. This was a big career change for me, I used to work in the nuclear power business for 6 years before shifting over to pharmaceutical manufacturing for 3 years. Changing careers was the best decision I've ever made.
I'm a huge hockey and Formula 1 fan! I own season tickets to the Boston Bruins and eventually I want to travel to all of the biggest F1 races. I'm not going to force you to be a fan of either, but just know I watch every game and race. I'd be happy to teach you the rules!
My music tastes are all over the place. Usually you'll find me listening to country or EDM (EDC Las Vegas anyone?), but I'll listen to almost anything. Also, the Beach Boys are the greatest band of all time, end of discussion!
If I had a type, I'd say I'm usually attracted to more petite women. Myself, I'm 6'2, not super fit but not chubby (almost put myself in the hospital a month ago getting back into the gym, fun story). I'm pretty easy going, very much the "go with the flow" type and tend not to take life too seriously. I'm honest to a fault, and I'll happily give you my opinion on anything, even when you don't ask! I love to laugh and spend time with the people I love, and I'm hoping to do the same with you.
If you think we'll hit it off, send me a message! Tell me about the book you're reading or something you're watching, hopefully it's something I can add to my list (I'll also know you've read this). I'll want to exchange pictures early, I like to see who I'm talking to.
Can't wait to get to know you!
