Cerita main burit mak
Apakah kalian pernah dianggap tidak dewasa oleh orang lain?
2024.05.22 13:44 WhyHowForWhat Apakah kalian pernah dianggap tidak dewasa oleh orang lain?
Bokap sama istrinya cerita kalo adek gua sempet konsul sama psikolog. Terus istri bokap gua cerita alesan adek gua stress banyak dan salah satu nya karena mikirin keluarga nya termasuk gua. Dia bilang gua tuh ga dewasa karena gua tuh kebanyakan main game (uuuh Im cutting my gaming hours nowadays, I mostly read stuff now). Setelah gua denger itu, gua ngerasa gagal jadi kakak.
And you know what? I think she is 100% correct. Its not like Im not trying at all to better myself tapi gua ngerasa setelah lulus kuliah gua ga pernah all out lg. Apakah dia dalam hati gemes liat gua msh blm dapet kerja beneran? Ato dia sbnrnya malu punya kakak cuekan sama omongan orang lain dengan bentukan mcm wibu NEET kayak gua? Apakah gua yang dari jaman SMA jadi "penengah" antara nyokap dan bokap gua (terutama soal bulanan) sampe skrg itu ga cukup? Gua jadi cuekan gini sbnrnya jg karena gua udh males mengindahkan perkataan orang banget, gua lebih prefer nyaman dengan diri sendiri daripada berusaha nyenangin banyak orang tau2nya gua malah justru buang2 waktu dan tenaga.
Gua tuh depan dia emang santai banget, dia aja sampe berani manggil gua nama (the name one is on me tbh). Apa karena gua kurang tegas sama dia? All in all Im not saying that she is wrong to think of me as not mature, I am just confused right now. Maybe because she mostly sees me playing games that she manage to arrive to that conclusion but Idk, maybe there are other factors that makes her think like that. I am too afraid to call myself a mature women because I really dont know what is the standard for someone to be called mature.
Sekian TedTalk existential crisis gua, ada yang sepengalaman?

2024.05.22 07:40 Roronoa_Zoro174 Title Ki mhtcet hii last hopes hai!!!
 | I did gave CET as a backup because last year mere boards mai 74% hi the i gave improvement exam in mathematics this year but was not sure that if my improvement has gone well or not!!! So despite getting 99.3 PERCENTILE IN JEE MAINS i had to appear for CET....but hopefully Ab improvement k result k baad 76.6 ho chuka hai...aur NITs mak CSE secured hai!!! Let's see what happens in advance! This post is to motivate my fellow 25 tards that just don't give up... anything is possible submitted by Roronoa_Zoro174 to JEENEETards [link] [comments] My 2023 performance:- 1. 88 percentile in JEE mains 2. Couldn't even clear cut off in advance 3. Had only got 74% in CBSE My 2024 after a partial drop year:- 1. 99.3 percentile in jan attempt (29 S2) 2. Hopefully getting 120-140 average in fitjee test series 3. Gave improvement exam in 2024 and improved my boards score to 76.6% . So my fellow 25 tards.... after a partial drop from tier 3 or maybe tier 5 engineering college... I'll be going to a tier 1 engineering college...! This journey of partial drop has taught me a lot of lessons! And I'll suggest...never ever go for partial drop by my personal experience nothing else. But keep in mind...if you are confident on yourself you can do it!!! Just keep going maybe on a drop year...or in your 1 year of college... irrespective of what you get...good things take time! Belive on yourself and just keep working... success will come to you one day...may be not now or tomorrow...but one day you'll look back and smile that every pain and hardwork was worth it. So just keep grinding and make your parents proud. |
2024.05.21 22:21 Zdrobot Meade DS2090MAK - is it OK for a beginner?
I came across an advert about a used Meade DS2090MAK for sale. The seller provided no information about the scope or the tripod. The mirrors look clean in the photos, the scope is not scuffed.
It's on a computerized tripod with a "Meade Autostar" controller, and I can see that the cable is missing parts of insulation, so it might or might not work.
In the photos the whole setup looks very close (or identical) to what is shown here, here, or here.
I don't care much for GoTo mounts, but the price is 4.5+ lower then the asking price of my next contender, a used Celestron C5 on a "Heavy duty Celestron tripod" (this one). So the price is the main reason I'm posting this.
So, the price for this Meade DS2090MAK is 150 Euros, which looks very reasonable compared to the asking price for Celestron C5 + Celestron Heavy Duty Alt-Azimuth Tripod, which is 700 Euros (I know, I know..).
Also, if I'm posting too often, please remove this post.

- Is it even worth trying to find out if the controller / GoTo stuff works, or is the scope not worth it anyway?
- Is 90 mm aperture going to be that much worse than C5's 127 mm? (I guess it is)
- Is is usable if the electronics of the tripod are dead?
- Does the controller use some kind of proprietary cable? The connectors look suspiciously close to RJ45 (Ethernet) or RJ11 (phone line) connectors, so could that be a simple Ethernet patch cable or variation thereof?
- Is it hard to collimate Meade DS2090MAK, compared to C5? (i remember reading bad things about most Maks in this regard)
So, the price for this Meade DS2090MAK is 150 Euros, which looks very reasonable compared to the asking price for Celestron C5 + Celestron Heavy Duty Alt-Azimuth Tripod, which is 700 Euros (I know, I know..).

2024.05.21 13:59 seeuneve Dislike is an understatement, i actually despise my SIL. Tldr
My younger SIL (lets call her B) just gave birth last year and I helped out a lot sebab dia ni takde suami. When she couldnt calm her newborn baby, i took over and said to her, “i understand how challenging this is, dont worry im here to help you. Dulu i pun ‘koyak’ juga lah masa jaga newborn sbb penat sgt and first time mom kan”. Then B with a straight face replied, “oh i takdelah koyak sebab anak kan. Kenapa i nak koyak dgn anak sendiri”. Well u should’ve said that to your face B bcs i always saw you lose it when your baby is cranky. How dare you guilt tripping me for not coming over to see u n your baby when i actually only went back to my parents house. Mcm aku ni tkde keje lain je nak mengadap kau.
I wont be like this if you were grateful enough for your family for accepting and helping and supporting you through your journey even though what you did was really really bad. You gave birth at a private hosp, your baby gets her monthly checkup at that same private hosp, your mom tanggung both of you 100% from your car loan to your baby’s diapers and milk. Your brother (my husband) took one for all by saying to our relatives that the baby is our adopted child even though its ridiculous bcs the baby looks exactly like you.
But you are still like your old self. Arrogant, entitled, spoiled and tak reti jaga mulut. You scolded me for breastfeeding your baby even though ive asked permission and its for the baby’s own good. You shamelessly go out and about bringing your baby everywhere. I said this bcs it invites question from people around us and my husband has to lie. Sometimes, when my husband’s friends came over and B happens to be there with her baby, she would suddenly come near to my husband while holding her baby over to my husb and said, “hi daddy”. Of course member husb aku pelik and tanya eh ni anak siapa? You even had the audacity to marah everyone including me sebab lambat uruskan your placenta. My BIL snapped and scolded you and then you went ahead and cried to your mom. So what did your mom do? Of course she called all of your siblings and gave them a scolding for making you cry. Except my husband sbb aku awal2 dah message dkt MIL explaining that we genuinely forgot about the placenta and we kept it safe, and you B dont need to marah2 everyone bcs we also have our plates full. FYI, the siblings tak kesian dkt B’s situation sbb ni bukan first time dia buat benda tu. Cumanya this time terpregnant.
B lives with my MIL. She dont have a job and her income is from my MIL. I dont give a damn about all those special treatment and privilege that she has. But when it comes to my baby, i would give a whole lot of damn ye. My 2yo baby dah tak rapat dgn my MIL ever since B gave birth. Im sad to see they no longer have the bond that they used to have but i decided to distance myself from B for the sake of my mental peace. Distancing from B means distancing from my MIL as well.
But B has crossed the line so so many times that i have to do this. One time, my husb asked B to watch our baby while we both were working. All of us were outside at the time. MIL was holding B’s baby so B was free to watch over my baby. About 10mins or so we suddenly couldnt hear our baby’s voice. Rupanya B tak jaga pun anak aku and she lost my baby. My mind went blank at the time. I just followed where my feet goes and thank god i immediately found my baby. Not a single apology came out of her mouth. Aku jaga anak kau mcm anak sendiri ye tapi kau buat anak aku mcm ni. My baby fell ill later that night sbb i think she was traumatised when she got lost. The next day B accidentally spilled my husb’s drink and she politely said, sorry sebab tertumpahkan air abg. Wah kau hilangkan ank aku tak pandai pulak nk mintak maaf.
There was one time B was so proud of her 5months baby at the time sebab kaki baby dia kuat, boleh tegakkan kaki. She said, “kaki my baby kuat betul lah kuat sgt utk umur dia. Tak macam your baby kan masa 5 bulan your baby lembik2 lagi kan?” Ughh aku lah kan masa tu rasa nak tumbuk je muka kau. Then i said, eh takdelah. Anak i 5 bulan dah pandai lompat2 dah dlm jumper tu”. Then later that evening i posted a story from my archive from when my baby was 5months old and she was jumping cheerfully in the jumperoo. Hahah puas hati aku. Aku tak pernah kisah kau nak bangga2 kan anak kau tapi tak perlu lah nak downkan or comparekan dgn anak org lain. Byk lagi lah kejadian2 compare ni berlaku. Mcm makcik bawang dah perangai kau.
Recently, we stayed at a hotel in a family room. Anak aku tak suka sgt dkt baby si B ni. If the baby cry, my daughter will cry too. If the baby scream, my daughter will scream too. Shes just uncomfortable around the baby. Imagine lah the chaos when both of them are in the same room. Tapi last2 anak aku jugak yg kena marah sbb tantrum padahal ank dia yg punca. My baby, husband and MIL went out first so B and i and her baby checked out later. I jokingly said haa senang sikit nak kemas kalau tak ada dua2 baby serentak. Then B said, “oh my baby takde masalah, senang je nak jaga, tak kuat nangis, baik and dengar kata”. Eh ank kau tu baru 10bulan mana pandai nk tantrum lagi tapi susah jugak nk buat kerja sbb nak kena pegang je. Well, lets see when your daughter turns 2 agak2 anak kau ok ke tak. Later that day when my baby was napping in her stroller, B suddenly said, “anak u tido baru nampak dia baik”, then she laughed. Erghh kau nk mengata anak aku pulak.
She used to bodyshame my baby saying my baby is kurus sangat lah and my MIL pun ckp ank aku kurus lah kesian lah tak makan lah. EXCUSE ME, anak aku ni tinggi mcm bapak dia and kurus mcm mak dia. Her weight is normal, tak pernah turun pun berat dia since lahir. And she didnt seem kurus to me and everyone else pun. Aku dah tak tahan aku post an angry stroy dkt ig abt ppl yg suka mengata badan ank org. Since then dia slow down psal badan ank aku. Last2 MIL bgtahu aku yg berat badan anak B turun 400gram. Thats a lot ye for an infant. Puncanya easy je, B didnt cook real food for her baby. Her main meal is cerelac and biscuits. Sometimes i prepare food for her baby and B mcm tak suka bila MIL puji baby suka makanan aku bagi tu. B rasa mcm tercabar. She was like, “sempat eh u masak. Oh lupa u kan mmg duduk rumah tak kerja”. Like i care? Dah anak kau lapar pstu kau pulak kata busy lah tak sempat lah.
Actually byk je lagi benda menyakitkan hati jadi but cukup lah ni je. My MIL got so upset that my daughter taknak dekat dia lagi dah. Im not responsible for that. Kalau dulu u always come over to my house to see your grandchild why now tak boleh dah? Im not gonna put myself through the emotional torture by being around B a lot. It comes with a price but thats what best for me.

2024.05.21 10:31 xoxefo3952 PASIEN NOMOR SEMBILAN dari Ris Manice untuk Dibaca Gratis - Romansa Cerita Indonesia
Ini adalah cerita tentang pasien nomor sembilan yang datang padaku murni sebagai pesakitan. Allsya, remaja yang terlahir dari keluarga berada tapi tak bisa menikmati bahagia. Ditempa oleh keadaan yang memaksanya untuk dewasa sebelum waktunya. Diusianya yang masih belia ia mencari tentang keadilan, perbedaan laki-laki dan perempuan, dan pembedaan perlakuan. Ketika di penghujung SMP--masa sibuknya ujian, berhasil menemukan jawaban. Patriarki. Selain dari buku yang dibacanya, ia juga mendapatkan pemahaman dari Ersya--mahasiswa yang sedang KKN di desanya. Menjalin kedekatan. Mengajari banyak hal setiap malam, berbagi perhatian, dan juga memberi perlindungan layaknya sepasang kakak-beradik. Tiga bulan sudah, tiba masanya Ersya harus pulang. Tugasnya telah usai dan harus kembali menyelesaikan studynya di kota asal. Tentu saja Allsya tak baik-baik saja setelah perpisahan. Terciptanya kebersamaan membuatnya merasa kehilangan. Terlebih ketika mimpinya dipaksa mati oleh sang ayah dengan jeratan sebuah perjodohan. Ketika ia datang padaku memberanikan diri bercerita tentang sekelumit hidupnya sebagai upaya penyembuhan diri, maka mata hatiku merubah cara pandang tentangnya. Menebas segala prasangka yang sempat tercipta karena kesaksianku yang tidak utuh. Keputusannya datang padaku adalah momentum terbaik untuk melengkapi bagian rumpang yang sering mengundang pikiran yang bukan-bukan serta kesimpulan tanpa rujukan. Namun secara tidak langsung ia mengajakku bermain-main dalam labirinnya. Bahkan bukan lagi bersifat ajakan melainkan paksaan karena ini menyangkut tanggung jawab profesi. Baiklah, dengan bantuan diary sebagai saksi bisu sang pemiliknya yang dibiarkan aku baca, kesaksian seorang lelaki yang sangat kupuja, serta mataku sendiri yang menyaksikan beberapa bagian hidupnya, aku susun benang merah dari hidup seorang pasien nomor sembilan. Silahkan, saksikan saja kinerjaku ini! Read more

 | submitted by akangmacho to u/akangmacho [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/h2dc69uizb1d1.jpg?width=921&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=999cbfe3e71e39720ed51aa4891597de2e925299 Muhammad Ashraf Hassan 29 tahun, atau yang di kerap panggil Acep dari Muar Johor, Malaysia, bersama 485 peserta laki-laki dan perempuan lainnya, melakukan lomba maraton Gopeng Ultra Trail (GUT) dari lokasi Gua Tempurung sejauh 25 kilometer, pada sabtu pagi ditanggal 23 Maret 2019. dan berakhir pada hari yang sama di lokasi sama. Namun ketika semua peserta telah kembali hanya Acep yang tidak junjung kembali, hal ini disadari oleh temannya, Mohd Farid Md Kamal 32 tahun, ketika mendapati Acep masih tidak sampai setelah perlombaan berakhir. Penyelenggaraan mencoba melakukan panggilan telepon namun tidak ada dijawab dari Acep. Sebanyak 120 orang dikerahkan untuk mencari Acep beserta unit anjing pelacak, di hari yang berbeda pun 170 orang kini terlibat dalam operasi mencari yang melibatkan anggota polis, tentara, pasukan Gerakan AM, dan Relawan. Kehilangannya masih menjadi misteri meskipun hanya botol air yang digunakannya ditemui, namun pasukan SAR masih belum menemui petunjuk lain untuk menemukan Acep. Hingga pihak keluarga termasuk ibu Acep juga turut melakukan pencarian anaknya, dalam sebuah video ini ibu Acep ketika ikut melakukan pencarian anaknya di malam hari, mengatakan berulang-ulang dalam video ini, "Nampak mak tak Acap? mak kat sini Ashraf". Hingga pada video lain orang-orang melakukan azan di lokasi. Namun tidak jauh dengan negara Republik, masyarakat dan netizen negara itu mengkaitkan hilangnya Acep dengan unsur mistik. Ironisnya masyarakat lebih gemar cerita hal buruk, ada yang mengatakan dia sengaja kabur, ada yang mengkaitkan dia menikah dengan orang bunian dan tidak ingin kembali, ada pula yang berspekulasi bahwa dia ditangkap jin karena mencuri batu larangan. Kakak atau Abang dari Muhammad Ashraf, yaitu Mohd Zahiruddin, 35 berkata, "cerita yang sumbernya tidur jelas lebih tersebar luas, namun tidak memberi hasil dalam usaha pencarian, sebaliknya memberi kesan kesedihan kepada keluarga kami yang masih sedang menunggu kepulangannyanya." "Kami yakin, Ibu pun sama, kita semua sama yakin yang Ashraf masih ada." Kepulangan Mohammad Ashraf Hassan, atau Acap masih dinantikan istri dan anak tercinta. Dia yakin suaminya akan pulang tidak lama lagi. Operasi pencarian telah dikerahkan mulai dari radius 35 km hingga 50 km dan telah mengerahkan 700 pasukan SAR, serta sukarelawan terlibat dalam pencarian di kawasan bukit batu putih hingga Plaza Tol Gopeng. Namun hingga hari ini Acap masih belum ditemukan. |
2024.05.19 06:31 Minute-Savings604 Kelantan rapid Islamization is partly due to their rich cultural history.
 | Image 1: The Burung Petala Processions (literary "Celestial Bird Processions") (Malay: Perarakan Burung Petala; Jawi:ڤراراكن بوروڠ ڤتالا) referred to a series of imperial parades to commemorate the circumcision ceremony of the Kelantanese nobility. During the grand cavalcade, the prince and his royal entourage were celebrated around Kota Bharu via a large bird-like processional cart, notably the grand chariot of 1933 known as Burung Petala Indra and tandu Burung Petalawati of 1923. The processions were held three times between 1919 and 1933. submitted by Minute-Savings604 to malaysia [link] [comments] Image 2: Mak yong (Jawi: مق يوڠ; Thai: มะโย่ง, RTGS: ma yong) is a traditional form of dance-drama from northern Malaysia, particularly the state of Kelantan. It was banned by the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party because of its animist and Hindu-Buddhist roots which pre-date Islam in the Asian region by far.[1] The late Cik Ning was a leading mak yong performer in the 1980s. In 2005, UNESCO declared mak yong theatre a "Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity". Image 3: Wayang kulit (Javanese: ꦮꦪꦁꦏꦸꦭꦶꦠ꧀) is a traditional form of shadow puppetry originally found in the cultures of Java and Bali in Indonesia.[1] In a wayang kulit performance, the puppet figures are rear-projected on a taut linen screen with a coconut oil (or electric) light. The dalang (shadow artist) manipulates carved leather figures between the lamp and the screen to bring the shadows to life. The narratives of wayang kulit often have to do with the major theme of good vs. evil. Image 4: Main Puteri is a healing performance tradition found mainly in the north-eastern Malaysian state of Kelantan. It incorporates elements of dance, music, trance and ritual to cure patients suffering from emotional or spiritual illness. In the Kelantanese worldview, such illnesses are due either to an attack by malignant or unsettled spirits, a loss of semangat (soul or life-essence) or an imbalance of angin (inner wind) within a patient’s body. The principal figure in a Main Puteri performance is the tok puteri (spirit medium) who serves as both spirit-medium and healer. He is assisted by a tok minduk who acts as a spirit-interrogator and usually also plays the rebab (spike fiddle), leading the musical ensemble. As the tok puteri summons, into his own body, the spirit responsible for causing the patient’s illness, the tok minduk questions the spirit to ascertain its identity and determine why the spirit is unsettled. As the spirit takes possession of him, the tok puteri dances in a state of trance. Negotiations and offerings take place to appease the spirit to ensure that it will cease disturbing the patient. If the illness is due to loss of semangat or an imbalance of angin, the patient is encouraged to physically participate in the performance to bring about his or her emotional and spiritual release. Source:Wikipedia I sense that the deep rooted traditions and animistic believes of Malays that has developed throughout the centuries (often adapted into our modern culture such as Bomoh etc.) was quite present in Kelantan. There was a well known establishment called Biarritz Park in Kota Bharu who had all sorts of activities both harmless and not so harmless. The formulative that followed was an extremed quelling of such things. What do you guys think? |

2024.05.15 02:05 DanielAnakBudi Sebuah harapan dibalik orang yang tidak berduit
Di post ini, aku mau cerita bedasarkan kisah nyata dari sebagian besar orang yang pernah ngobrol sama aku (plus dengan pengalamanku pas bersama mereka) dan mungkin ini bisa menggerakkan hati atau kita makin positif sih. Ada 2 cerita yang bakalan aku bahas, dan kalian bisa pilih aja mau cerita mana yang mau kalian baca. And ofc, i make it short to save everyone's time.
The story has 2 perspective : Gojek, dan Tukang parkir (niatnya mau ada tambahan 1 lagi, yaitu cerita tentang guruku.. maybe next time i guess.)
Let's start with Gojek.
Gojek Kejadian ini terjadi pasca tahun 2021-an (kalo ga salah). Ceritanya, Sahabat jauh dari solo pulang ke sentul dan aku main sama beliau sambil ngobrol bareng kondisi-nya disana. Kami bercengkrama sampai dengan jam 8 malam, dan aku memutuskan untuk pulang (karena nyokap udah nyariin). Aku akhirnya dianterin pulang dengan mobil nyokap sahabatku yang kebetulan lagi satu jalan dari AEON. tapi, aku denger kabar kata-nya bokap-nya temen tiba-tiba sakit dan Nyokap-nya perlu beli obat. Aku nawarin untuk nemenin beli obat + nunjukin apotik terdekat, tapi akhirnya aku cukup minta diberhentiin aja di Lampu merah dekat CCM. Karena aku takut-nya mengganggu juga + takut pulang kemaleman. Cukup ucapan semoga cepat sembuh, dan akhirnya pergi ke kantor polisi perempatan CCM buat pesan Gojek.
Jujur, aku kaget ketika yang dateng ketika pesen Gojek yang dateng adalah perempuan. Aku ga permasalahin kamu kerja jadi apa... tapi dengan kondisi malem seperti ini dan beliau berani narik Gojek? oh my. That's a daring move and deserve my respect. Tapi pas aku mau naik, beliau bilang.. ini baru pertama kali dia ambil pesanan malem-malem dan kebetulan aga capek (kalo ga salah inget). Aku tawarin untuk ngendarain motornya (it was a scoopy. its has good handling but slow as snail speed. but it has good fuel economy. hehe, maaf terlalu mendiskripsikan motornya).
Kami ngobrol di jalan dong... tanya-tanya abis ngapain dan ini itu. Sampai aku nanya ke beliau "Ibu kenapa mau kerja jadi Go-Jek?". Beliau dengan lumayan santai-nya bilang something along like "Karena ada-nya ini pada saat ini, dan saya harus membiayain kedua anak saya". Aku sambil mengucapkan maaf nanya kepada beliau "Maaf bu, saya kalo boleh nanya.. Suami ibu apakah tidak kerja?". Beliau bilang "Suami saya kabur". That bring a chill on my spine... karena ini ngobrol secara langsung. Beliau bela-belain Nganter barang sampai malam, dan bahkan nyoba nge-gojek. it's somewhat shows how mother figure should always be. She wants nothing but her kids to become succeed and didnt end up like her.
And today 2024, i share her story to here... it shows that maybe even at the very rock bottom, you cannot see down but only up. and you need to keep on going whatever your situation is.
okay, Mari kita langsung aja cerita kedua.
Tukang ParkirMixue Miksu (ga boleh nyebut merek meskipun keliatan dikit, atleast its for the sake of the funni)
Nah, ini sebenarnya kejadian yag masih baru-baru banget. Cerita-nya ini abis ngampus.. Karena lagi kepengen makan eskrim, pergilah aku ke Miksu deket Sate Tegal Laka-laka yang ada di cibinong. Kebetulan disitu ada tukang parkir (yang kebetulan sering ketemuan dan dia ramah).. ngobrol lah aku sama beliau. He give me many wise words dan saran sebelum beranjak ke dunia yang bener-bener dewasa. it was all fun and game.
But then, i ask him... "Tapi pak, dengan pemikiran dan wawasan yang luas. Kenapa bapak jadi tukang parkir?" He said ketika beliau di pelabuhan tanjung priuk, dulunya dia kerja sebagai pengangkut barang dan disukai sama bos-nya karena etos kerja-nya yang tinggi (Sambil nunjukin kertas kerja-nya, dan dokumen penting lainnya ketika kerja di pelabuhan tanjung priuk. I was surprised how did he trust me to the point to show me this). He got paid handsomely, dan dia kerja dari pagi ke pagi. Sampai ketika orang dalam plays along dan kompetisi yang ga sehat mulai masuk. Dia suka disenggol dan begitu sebagai-nya... dan bahkan sudah berfikir kalo sebagai pengangkut barang udah bukan passion dia lagi (karena terkadang dia mesti berantem pas ngangkut barang di jalan entah sama pungli, dll).
Dan dimasa dimana dia udah kepala 5 atau 6 ini (kalo ga salah). Dia hanya ingin meninggal dengan tenang aja. Dia bilang sama aku "Keinginan muda dan tau pasti berbeda. Semakin kamu tua, kamu semakin belajar kalo dalam hidup itu ga semuanya bisa kamu dapatkan. tapi kamu ga boleh nyerah, dan harus tekun".
He's respectable person... even as tukang parkir. Maybe some people doesnt have a choice and ended up like him. Bahkan orang berjasa kayak beliau aja di-injek". like damn..... Hope he's having a good day
That's the story for today folks. Have a good day !

The story has 2 perspective : Gojek, dan Tukang parkir (niatnya mau ada tambahan 1 lagi, yaitu cerita tentang guruku.. maybe next time i guess.)
Let's start with Gojek.
Gojek Kejadian ini terjadi pasca tahun 2021-an (kalo ga salah). Ceritanya, Sahabat jauh dari solo pulang ke sentul dan aku main sama beliau sambil ngobrol bareng kondisi-nya disana. Kami bercengkrama sampai dengan jam 8 malam, dan aku memutuskan untuk pulang (karena nyokap udah nyariin). Aku akhirnya dianterin pulang dengan mobil nyokap sahabatku yang kebetulan lagi satu jalan dari AEON. tapi, aku denger kabar kata-nya bokap-nya temen tiba-tiba sakit dan Nyokap-nya perlu beli obat. Aku nawarin untuk nemenin beli obat + nunjukin apotik terdekat, tapi akhirnya aku cukup minta diberhentiin aja di Lampu merah dekat CCM. Karena aku takut-nya mengganggu juga + takut pulang kemaleman. Cukup ucapan semoga cepat sembuh, dan akhirnya pergi ke kantor polisi perempatan CCM buat pesan Gojek.
Jujur, aku kaget ketika yang dateng ketika pesen Gojek yang dateng adalah perempuan. Aku ga permasalahin kamu kerja jadi apa... tapi dengan kondisi malem seperti ini dan beliau berani narik Gojek? oh my. That's a daring move and deserve my respect. Tapi pas aku mau naik, beliau bilang.. ini baru pertama kali dia ambil pesanan malem-malem dan kebetulan aga capek (kalo ga salah inget). Aku tawarin untuk ngendarain motornya (it was a scoopy. its has good handling but slow as snail speed. but it has good fuel economy. hehe, maaf terlalu mendiskripsikan motornya).
Kami ngobrol di jalan dong... tanya-tanya abis ngapain dan ini itu. Sampai aku nanya ke beliau "Ibu kenapa mau kerja jadi Go-Jek?". Beliau dengan lumayan santai-nya bilang something along like "Karena ada-nya ini pada saat ini, dan saya harus membiayain kedua anak saya". Aku sambil mengucapkan maaf nanya kepada beliau "Maaf bu, saya kalo boleh nanya.. Suami ibu apakah tidak kerja?". Beliau bilang "Suami saya kabur". That bring a chill on my spine... karena ini ngobrol secara langsung. Beliau bela-belain Nganter barang sampai malam, dan bahkan nyoba nge-gojek. it's somewhat shows how mother figure should always be. She wants nothing but her kids to become succeed and didnt end up like her.

2024.05.14 14:37 reddit999998 Mohon pendapat korang apa yang aku perlu buat
Just some info berkenaan aku, 28M dan dah ada kerja stabil. Before ni memang aku tak pernah langsung couple. Kira tak pernah ada GF sampai sekarang. Bukan sebab tak ada chance, since sekolah sampai tempat kerja mmg ada org ajak couple, tapi aku jenis mindset aku mcm tak apalah, chill dulu, malas nak couple2 ni. So tu lah sampai sekarang aku tak ada. Nak cari sendiri pun tak cari2 pun
So cerita dia, baru2 ni makcik aku ada bagi satu no perempuan ni kat mak aku, dia suruh aku try dia ni. Aku baru start chat dengan dia dalam hujung minggu baru ni. Cuma aku tak bagitau yang aku kerja kat mana dan aku bagitau kat dia yang aku prefer kalau kenal lebih sikit baru boleh share. Kiranya kami just sembang2 biasa dan tak kerap, maybe 5-10 mesej macam tu dalam sehari. Vibe dia pun macam takut2 lagi
Info pasal dia, umur macam aku juga, kerja stabil, anak Datuk, pejabat dia tak jauh pun dengan pejabat aku, dalam 30 minit. Yang aku suka, walaupun dia anak Datuk ke apa, dia tak sombong ke berlagak ke, tulis pun ayat macam perempuan melayu terakhir. Aku pernah jumpa ayah dia sekali time kerja. Dan aku sebenarnya dah tengok social media dia, dan dia tak aktif sngt dalam social media, tak tunjuk sangat dan jenis islamik sikit.
Aku tak share pun social media aku kat dia, kiranya dia ada limited info pasal aku, dan dia tak tahu pun nama penuh aku. Setakat sekarang, tone dia tu nampak macam dia still was2 dengan aku lagi, sebab ya lah, aku tak bagi bnyk info lagi pasal aku, dan dia pun macam reluctant lagi nak share life dia. Tapi makcik aku cakap dia ni peramah. So maybe aku tak unlock side yang tu lagi kot. Sekarang pun time chat pun dalam ptg malam kejap 3-4 mesej mcm tu, time kerja dia tak reply. Wish goodnight ke apa ke pun dia tak reply. Tapi mesej lain dia reply
Soalan dia, apa yang aku perlu buat lepas ni? Sebab sekarang macam fasa kenal2. Adakah aku perlu call dia ke, bagitahu social media aku ke, VC dia ke, jumpa dia ke as soon as possible, bagitau aku kerja mana ke, ataupun just sembang2 dulu? Apa yang perlu aku buat untuk move forward dengan dia ni? Sebab target aku kalau betul ngam dengan dia, aku memang nak kahwin terus.
Mohon pendapat korang semua, sori aku clueless sikit pasal ni.
tldr: 28M tak pernah couple, makcik bagi no perempuan untuk try, macam mana nak teruskan

NEW UPDATE MARKED WITH ----
[New Update]: My family forgot to invite me to my grandparents funeral, but they are convinced I was there.
Trigger Warnings: death of loved ones, emotional manipulation, gaslighting, harassment
RECAP
Original Post: November 14, 2023**
I’m 30s F and caused a major blowup in my family and now none of them are talking to me. For background, my hometown is tiny (500pop) and when I went 2 hrs away to “the city” (15,000pop) for college, I loved it. I ended up staying after graduation, got married, and am happy here for a decade. I visit my home town every few weeks or so, call/text my family near daily, and thought we were all good. My family’s pretty small. Just my brother, mom, step dad, dad, step mom, and an aunt and uncle (mom’s siblings, never married, no kids). My mother's grandparents moved to my home town when I was in high school and were just down the street from us. My family has always been pretty drama free (aside from my parent’s divorce when I was a kid) and we’ve been happy. The step-parents were blended in perfectly and we share holidays and celebrations together. We’re all super close and just the perfect little group.
Ever since I moved away, the topic of “when am I moving back?” is constant, and I’ve always laughed it off. My home town has nothing. You have to drive 30 minutes for milk and bread. 60-90 minute one-way commutes to work. And floods shut down the main road every Easter. I love the town, but I love here more. I have parks, stores, community events, a library! The “city” is great. My family grumbles that I need to move back, but I refuse. I've been trying to encourage them to come here, especially since it's not an hour drive to the nearest medical facility.
Now to the meat and potatoes: both my grandparents passed over COVID times. They were both old and their health had been failing for a while so it was only a matter of time. Thankfully they didn’t catch it, but it made visiting them impossible and we survived mostly through FaceTime. They both passed in their sleep months apart. Both were cremated and kept securely under the kitchen sink for safe keeping while the pandemic blew over. That was 2021.
Well, I just found out my family held a funeral for them and scattered the ashes in my uncle’s maple grove over the summer. No one said a word to me about it. I’ve visited numerous times before and after and not one word. I only found out because my great uncle from California posted on Facebook a few weeks ago that he is entering hospice and was so thankful his health stayed strong enough for him to see his little sister (my grandma) to her final resting place. I was confused and called my mom. She was all “Yeah, the funeral we had in July, remember?” Ya’ll, I visited them for the 4th of July. They did the funeral the 8th. Not a word about it to me. They had planned this for months. Long enough to arrange for my infirm great uncle to be brought over from the other side of the country. Apparently, they talked about it “all the time”.
Everyone is convinced I was at the funeral. They SWEAR I was there. I can prove I wasn’t because Google’s got my location history. My hubby is baffled because he was supposedly there, too, but he had to work every weekend in June and July. Time clock doesn’t lie. My family straight up forgot about me. I’m hurt. I’m sad. And they’re pissed at me “for lying”. They think I’m causing drama over nothing. Nothing I say can convince them I wasn’t there. My family is united in this. And they’ve all put me “on read” until I admit I’m wrong. They think I’ve gone nuts. Either there’s a doppelganger of me attending events, or my family doesn’t want to admit they screwed up. I’m not backing down.
Thanksgiving is coming up, and my family’s been vague posting on Facebook about “forgetful kids” and mental health. It’s so freaking weird and I don’t know if I’m in bizzaro world or what’s going on. My mom’s best friend reached out and said I should just admit I was wrong and apologize, that I’m causing my mom so much unnecessary stress. I asked her if she’s checked everyone’s home for CO2. She hung up on me. (We checked our CO2, and our testers are running just fine.) I have reached out to a few people in my home town to check in on my folks, and they all say they're fine. I even spoke with the local volunteer fire fighter group to see if they could check for gas leaks. Not sure if they were able to.
I don’t know what to do. I’ve shown them the proof I wasn’t there, but they know I’m tech savvy and just assume I’ve Photoshopped it. Hubby says we need a break, and we’re going to be staying home this holiday season.
Edit: I don't know the update rules, so I'll post updates to my profile should anyone want them.
Update #1: November 27, 2023
Not sure how to do updates on posts, so figured I'd post anything on my profile. Folks have private messaged me and this will be easier I think?
It's 11/27 and Thanksgiving just happened. Hubby and I stayed home. We got a small turkey and made our own little thanksgiving. It was nice. We ate around noon, then watched a movie, and later sat outside with a bottle of wine to watch the sun set behind the trees and neighbor houses.
We usually take the day before off, drive to my folks, stay the night, and help with the Thanksgiving Day cooking. So it wasn't until Wednesday night that my mom broke the silence. Mom called and asked when I was showing up, and I told her we were staying home this year, but for them to have a happy Thanksgiving, and to give the rest of the family my love. She was quiet for a long time after I said that, and I think she eventually mumbled an "okay", or something, and hung up. It wasn't an angry hang up. Just a hang up. On Thanksgiving day, I sent a group "Happy Thanksgiving!" gif to our family group chat. I received a few "happy Thanksgiving"'s back. No one's said anything else. There's been no posts on Facebook.
Update #2: December 12, 2023
So, I think I mentioned in one of my comments that my dad and I usually talk on the phone every Sunday morning. We're both early risers so we'd chat over our morning coffees and watch the sunrise. Him and I haven't really spoken since this all went down and it's been tough. I'm used to talking to him, you know?
Well, I was sitting outside in my usual spot, watching the sun rise and freezing my butt off, and he called me. I'm not entirely sure how to describe the emotions I felt. It was a mix of panic, hope, terror, happiness, and dread. I ended up answering because I just had to know what he wanted. It was an awkward conversation. He didn't address the current "drama", but instead tiptoed around the situation with all the grace of an cow on stilts. For instance, a simple "How are you doing?" Type question was answered with a "Not good." And the whole conversation would stall out for a bit because he knew why I wasn't doing well. So we ended up talking about the weather, the various winter birds we'd seen in our feeders, and the Christmas decorations around town. Things like that.
Eventually he asked if we were coming out for Christmas, and sounded sad when I told him we weren't. He asked if him and step mom could come visit us instead, and I told him it wasn't a good idea this year. That hubby and I were going to spend a quiet holiday together. I let him know he should be receiving some gifts at his PO Box any day now, so to please pick them up from the post office and put them under the family tree for everyone. He said he'd ship ours to us as well.
And that was pretty much it. No crazy drama to report. The only posts on Facebook have been the usual Christmas excitement ones, countdowns, photos of Santa, silly gift ideas, photos of company Christmas parties.
On a personal note: Hubby and I are doing alright. Our health is good, our spirits high, and we're as solid as ever. We each got Christmas bonus' at our jobs, so we're excited about that. They're not large, but we're happy to have them. We have also done advent calendars for the first time ever. I got him a Lego one, and he got me a hot chocolate one. We're going to do the calendars again next year. Maybe make a tradition out of it.
Everyone please have a safe and happy holidays.
Inheritance: December 16, 2023
I've received a lot - A LOT - of messages and private DMs urging me to check into inheritance and such. I'm really touched a lot of Internet strangers are worried about me and I wanted to ensure everyone that inheritance is most likely not an issue here. I'd almost be relieved if it was, because then it would at least make some sense. Money does weird things to people, you know?
No one in my family is wealthy by any means. After my grandparents' passed, their small estate was used to pay for their end of life expenses and remaining assets split up. Everyone directly related got an equal split (so excluded my dad and the step parents). I don't remember the exact amount I received, but it was around $5k if I recall. My brother gave me his share, too, so I could finish paying off my college debt while the interest freeze was active.
The great uncle from California has kids and grand kids, and great grandkids of his own, and also isn't wealthy. I think one of his kids makes good money doing something in finance, but I'm not entirely sure. I can't imagine he left us anything, as we hardly knew him. My mom, aunt, and uncle only met him a few times in their lives, and my brother and I even less. Grandma and him were close, but I don't think he liked my grandpa much.
Christmas: December 25, 2023
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I've received a lot of support through my posts and I'm really grateful. Writing these updates have had a therapeutic effect.
Yesterday was Sunday, but I didn't answer my dad when he called. I just really didn't feel up to a pointless chat, so let it go to voicemail. He tried to reach me a few times throughout the day, but I didn't answer.
Our bestie last minute invited us over to his house for Christmas day lunch (today), so husband and I were busy all Christmas Eve making cookies, peanut brittle, and homemade suckers/hard candies for his kids. Mom tried to reach out as well, but I also ignored her calls.
We had a BLAST at lunch! Our friend's kids are a lot of fun to be around. They got some techy presents from their grandparents (Quest vr headset and steam decks, lucky little rascals) Friend and his wife aren't good with tech, while hubby and I are, so we helped get them set up while our friend played a good host to his folks and inlaws. The grandparents didn't realize that a Steam deck required a Steam account, so we got the kids all their own accounts set up, added them to our steam friends lists, and gifted them some games. We also bought them a few VR games for their headset, and they were off to the races with Beat Saber in no time.
As for my folks: My brother texted and asked if we could talk sometime tomorrow. I think me ignoring mom and dad has caused some kind of upset. Which they deserve.
Brother’s call: December 26, 2023
Spoke with my brother over the phone this morning.
For starters, he apologized for everything. Him and I are good (for now). For a bit of background, my brother and I are only 2 years apart. There weren't a lot of kids around growing up, so the two of us were often stuck doing stuff together. So we have a lot of shared interests and passions. He's been pretty silent on this whole matter, but still "part of the group", if you know what I mean. I think the thought of losing him out of my life was probably the most painful, because he's always been there. He was my rock until I met my husband. He's definitely a Mama's boy, though, so anything mom wanted, he made sure she got. I'm happy to have him back.
Without further ado, here's the story from the horse's mouth:
Mom apparently had a cancer scare late last year (which no one told me about, go figure), and dad had a stint put in his heart back in January (which I did know about). This "sense of mortality" has apparently lit a fire under Mom's ass to get me back home. But since I wasn't reacting to her passive aggressive hinting, she and step mom decided to go full crazy. My great uncle's health was bad, and he'd been asking about funeral arrangements for his sister (my grandma) for a while, so the moms decided to plan it. And use the event as a giant middle finger to me. They kept all the planning pretty hush-hush between the two of them, so no one on our side of the family actually knew about the funeral until like 2 weeks before. The moms said they'd invited hubby and I. No one thought anything about it. No one thought to mention, confirm, or check with me.
The plan was to scatter the ashes, say a few words, and maybe head to town for lunch. It was a small affair. The mom's didn't even tell the family that our great uncle was coming for it. Like I said, it was a small thing. Barely a footnote. No one thought it was odd because we're pretty chill people.
4th of July happens. Hubby and I are out. No one thought to mention it, as we were all busy celebrating and having a great time. Any time the topic of "this weekend" would start, the conversation would be quickly shifted by one of the moms. We went back home.
8th of July happens. Great uncle rolls into town with a few of his kids, grandkids, and great grandkids, and it's a surprise to everyone (but the moms). Everyone drives to the maple grove and the moms have brought a ton of food and stuff. It's a full blown party. No one on my side noticed I wasn't there, because there were so many extra faces outside the usual group. They did the spreading of the ashes, they said their words, they ate, they had a great time. It wasn't until our great uncle left, and all his side left with him, that they realized I wasn't there. And hadn't been there.
And this is where the crazy went up a notch. My brother says the moms were happy no one noticed I wasn't there. And that this was proof to everyone that I needed to move back because I was so easily forgotten about. Because none of them thought to reach out, right? They basically did a ton of guilt tripping manipulation bullshit and it made everyone upset at me for not showing up. Somehow it was my fault for being excluded. So suddenly everyone was on their side with "sticking it to me".
But then a few months went by, and tempers cooled, and then I guess the horror of it set in. Followed by the shame, but by then they were "in too deep". How do you undo something like this? And since I hadn't brought it up, I guess they figured they would all just stay quiet about it and hope I never asked about a funeral.
That's when I discovered the situation from my great uncle's Facebook and called my mom, who panicked and went with the stupidest solution. Claiming I was there. Don't I remember?
I ended up talking with a few friends from high school, mentioning the situation, and word got back to those in town. So suddenly town gossip and little old church ladies got involved. Was I, or wasn't I at the funeral? Did my family forget to invite me to the funeral of the only grandparents I'd ever know? Or am I just causing a ruckus? My brother said they all just went with mom's answer. Of course they wouldn't forget me. Of course I was there. Of course they're good people. And it just snowballed.
The family expected me to eventually fold. I'm usually a nonconfrontational person, so me sticking to my guns was unexpected. And then I missed Thanksgiving. And now Christmas. With no sign of backing down. And I guess the realization that I could just stop being part of their lives is setting in and my parents are panicking. He's tried just getting them to apologize and explain, but stubbornness prevails. They want to rug sweep, but I'm not letting them.
My brother is upset with everything that's happened. He's realized just how crappy it all has been and he wants nothing to do with it anymore. But since he lives with my mom, he can't "get away from it".
He has asked if he can come stay with us for a little bit. I spoke with hubby, and he's in agreement with me that my brother can come crash in our spare bedroom for as long as he wants. Brother works remotely, so it's no trouble for him to pick up and go. I believe he's making the trip today or tomorrow. Not entirely sure, but I expect crap to hit the fan when he arrives.
On a side note, hubby's stoked that my brother and I made up. The two usually game together, but haven't due to "the situation". He's downstairs right now setting up his man cave in preparation for my brother's arrival. I'm happy to see him so excited.
Brother's Here: December 27, 2023
My brother rolled in late last night. He'd obviously been crying and when I opened the door, he just held me and sobbed. I'd never seen him like that before and soon both of us were just standing in the doorway crying into one another. He kept apologizing. Over and over again. Said he wasn't sure why he went with it. Just kept saying sorry. Hubby got him all set up in the spare bedroom while brother and I talked. My brother's a wreck. He's always been a big guy, but he's lost a lot of weight and his clothes just hang off him. If I didn't know better, I'd think he was on drugs. We talked for a little bit before bed and he re-explained everything for my husband. I'd told hubby the story, but it was just so weird that hearing it again helped.
This morning my brother was up at dawn making some coffee and getting his work day going. Hubby's off all week (lucky) so hubby made us working folk some pancakes and bacon. So far everything's peaceful. We've decided not to answer any calls from our family. They've been made aware that he arrived safely, and that we are going to spend the New Years together, and that we're not answering any calls until January 1st. They may text if they wish. I'm sure they're losing their minds. Serves them right.
Everyone, have a safe and happy new years! Don't drink and drive!
Happy 2024!: January 2, 2024
I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable holidays, and may the new year be full of joy and happiness!
Not too much of an update. Things here have been quiet. My brother's settled in nicely and he's a great housemate. Our place isn't very big, but we have full basement and a nice outside patio/porch area so it doesn't feel crowded at all with the extra addition. He's a quiet and clean guy. No hassle at all. He got some fresh clothes from the Walmart, a haircut, and trimmed his beard, so he's more "presentable" now. He's a lady killer when he gets cleaned up. He's made nice with the (very nosy, but kind) retired couple next door and is adapting to "city living" nicely.
Folks back home have been mostly well behaved. There's been a few texts back and forth, as we're not answering calls. Mom mainly wants to know when brother's coming back, but he's keen on staying here for a while. Mom said I can't "keep him" and I told her he's a grown ass man and can do what he wants. Brother says he has her blocked after she ORDERED him to return home.
Brother has tentatively asked if he could stay long term, should he decide to, or at least longer than a usual visitor would stay. Which we're fine with. He has a good paying job and could afford an apartment, but he's never lived on his own and I would guess he has some anxiety about it. Should that be the case, he'll start paying us some rent and we'd probably adjust to give him the basement as his own space.
Had to change the locks: January 17, 2024
My brother is officially staying with us for the long haul. Hubby and him spent all Sunday organizing the basement and shifting things around so he now has his own area to be comfortable in. He's pretty handy and has also started fixing little things around our house. Our windows and doors have never closed and locked/unlocked smoother. He even fixed one of the closets we never use because we can never get the darn door open. Sadly, he also had to change the locks on our house and get us all new keys.
This is because while hubby and I were out this Saturday, the moms showed up. They'd been calling and texting us all week, but we weren't really answering them, so I guess the two decided to drive over and hash it out in person. They have emergency keys to my place, and just let themselves in. Brother told them to leave, they argued, and my nosy (but kind) neighbors called the police when they noticed the commotion. So, we get a call from neighbor's wife, return home to some cops in our yard, all the neighbors out "vacuuming their trees", and my nosy (but kind) neighbors standing on my porch with my brother behind them, doing their best Gandalf "You shall not pass" impression.
Had to talk with the cops, explain that we were having a family dispute and word vomited. I don't really remember what all I said, and was shaking a lot. Our local cops are really great. Fantastic guys and gals in blue, and took it all in stride. It's really cold here, so one had me join him in his cruiser with the heat on, and gave me a bottle of water to calm down while we talked. They asked if we wanted the moms trespassed but I wasn't sure if that counted as a criminal charge so just asked the cops if they could just make them leave, which the cops did with no fuss. I think the moms were shocked we were taking this so seriously. They didn't fight or scream at us. Just left quietly.
My dad promised me he'd make sure his wife left us alone. "Or else". He said he'd also have a stern talk with my mom. Him and I talked Sunday morning, and he seemed absolutely at the end of his rope. Husband jokingly told my dad he could move in, too. To which he declined.
Not sure where to go from here, but we're getting some ring cameras installed once they arrive. And everyone but my dad is blocked. Hopefully they all just leave us alone.
Nothing New To Report: February 2, 2024
Had a lot of DMs for updates, but don't have much anything to report on. The moms are behaving themselves. All's quiet on the western front. Felt weird ignoring or copy/pasting "no updates" to everyone, so here's what we've been doing, should anyone care.
Dad got a new bird/squirrel feeder from Amazon (looks like a little picnic table for a child's dolly but has a mesh top for the bird seed. I think it's supposed to be for chickens?) It's totes adorbs. To his horror, it also works as a Cooper hawk feeder, so now he's "fortifying his defenses" and putting up some trellises around it. He'll have to wait till warmer weather before planting anything to grow on them.
We had some ring cameras installed and put in a motion-activated camera that double functions as a light bulb. It goes in the light fixture outside the front door and is pretty cool. Video quality isn't all that great, but it's a nice addition I guess. It does overlook the bird feeders, so I've been watching it on my lunch breaks on the days I have to go into the office.
Hubby and brother are feuding. They started a coop farm in Stardew Valley a few days ago and they both want to romance Leah. My husband confided in me that he's also been romancing Sebastian as a backup. I'm not sure why he's keeping this a secret, but he's pretty smug about it.

fractal_frog I hope your dad can outsmart the hawks!
My dad came out for a visit over the weekend. We had a good time and the weather was lovely for some grilling and beers. It was really nice to see him again and he seemed healthy and in good spirits.
Here's his report from back home: Step mom (dad's wife) has started to realize she's screwed up. I credit her change of mindset to the fact that my dad sat her down and laid it out for her: she leaves his kids alone, or she's getting divorce papers. That apparently shut her up right quick, because they had a prenup done when they married and I'm not sure the details of it, but it wouldn't end favorably for her. She hasn't worked in years, so I imagine she'd be eligible for alimony? But I'm not versed in any of that legal mumbojumbo. Dad didn't seem too worried about it, so I'm not gonna worry about it.
Step dad was pissed the police were involved in the last "mom visit" (despite no one getting arrested or anything) and was in a "the kids are out of control and need to be reigned back in" mindset. When my dad pointed out that "the kids" in question were all in their mid-30s, it took some of the steam out of stepdad's sails. According to my dad, even my mom looked a little surprised when he said that. So, part of me is wondering if a good chunk of this whole thing is my mom not truly realizing that her kids were grown, and no longer children she could make demands of. Both of the moms have left us alone. I expected my mom to continue to kick up a fuss, but I think the cops spooked her.
There was a wonderful suggestion by a comment or to get their pastor involved, which I passed along to my dad. Dad has since spoken to their pastor about everything. He's a young guy, relatively new to their church, and joked that his first month on the job he had to do 3 funerals in a row and his new "flock" were just dying to get away from him, so he's got a sense of humor which is nice. The new pastor agreed to sit down with everyone and help the family hash it all out in a true "Come to Jesus" type moment next month, so that maybe we could celebrate Easter together as our first holiday as a family. Dad said the pastor was aware our family was having some troubles, but unsure of exactly what was going on, and since he was new, the pastor didn't want to pry. He has also agreed to do a small service down at my uncle's maple grove later in the summer, as it usually floods and is a muddy mess all spring. According to my dad, my aunt and uncle are so over all the drama and just ready to move on, so I expect hugs and apologies from them when we next meet.
Stardew Valley Update: My brother was victorious in the grand fight for Leah. It was a hard battle. Well fought. When my husband exposed his plans to woo Sebastian all this time, it was quite the betrayal. Dramatics aside, their farm is really cute and I'm so happy they're enjoying the game!
Update 4/1 - Final one I think - April 1, 2024
Happy April Fools everyone! I hope you all check your caramel apples for stray onions before taking a bite! I also hope your Easter weekend was a delightful one.
It is with great joy that I tell you all about our most recent update! Possibly even a conclusion to this whole ordeal.
The entire family (aunt, uncle, moms, dads, brother, me, husband) and pastor met at my dad's house and we all sat down to hash the situation out. As expected from what my dad said, my aunt and uncle greeted us all with apologies and hugs, which was nice. My uncle usually helps host the Easter egg hunts with the church and he brought our Easter baskets to give to us in case us kids weren't sticking around the for the weekend. I'm not sure why but seeing it made me tear up and feel stupid, because it was just a basket of candy but it meant a lot to me for some reason.
The pastor led us in a prayer and talked about forgiveness and such. He then asked us all to talk one at a time about how we're feeling and what we want the end result of today to be. No one was allowed to interrupt so everyone got to talk. It was nice. The consensus for the group was that most everyone wanted things to go back to "normal". The only ones who had any variance off this was my mom and step dad. They both wanted all us kids to move back to the area.
The pastor asked them why they wanted us back, and neither could give a good reason other than "because family", and the pastor asked us if we were thriving where we were. And we said we were. He asked if we were happy there. Which we were. He then asked my mom and step dad if they wanted us to give up our happiness to make them happy.
And Mom broke down and said no. We all had a good cry. The pastor then asked about the funeral and lies that led up to it and followed it and how it made us all feel and what we wished we'd done differently if we had the chance. It was all very emotional, but in a good way, you know? Everyone apologized and admitted they f-ed up and did a really crappy thing.
We all talked for a long, long time and the pastor was a great mediator. Eventually we all reached some sort of resolution and I think we're good now. Emotions are still high and a little raw in areas, but we stayed for Easter weekend and had a nice time. We're going to keep moving forward slowly and try to repair the relationship, but I believe we're well and truly out of the woods.
As for my brother, he's still staying with us, and mom will stop trying to guilt trip him back home. He's thinking about renting a small apartment in our area but we're not pushing him to make a decision. He knows he's welcome to stay as long as he wants. I think he wants to try dating (he's had a few girlfriends but never anything serious) and is embarrassed to bring any girls around our place, lol. He's been going to a few random classes/bookclubs at the local library for something free to do and hitting it off with all the little old ladies who attend, and they keep trying to hook him up with girls his age who they know. He has been on a few lunches/coffee dates with a couple girls, but I think he's too embarrassed by the attention to give it a real try at "dating" any of them. He's happy, though, which is all I could ask for.
I'm not sure if there will be any more updates, as I think it's all be resolved about as much as it can be at the moment. I wanted to thank you all for your words of advice and giving me a place to vent and scream into the void. Please be kind to one another and to yourselves. Thank you.

emjkr: What a nice and hopeful update, I’m really glad you stuck to your guns when everyone threw sanity out the window!
But, could your mother explain how she thought this would work out in her favour?
Things as wonderful as the moment. Still doing baby steps with The Moms. We're texting and talking on the phones more, which is nice. Very civil.
Dad "accidentally" bought a bunch of hand crafted bird feeders at a craft fair. By accidentally, I mean: he had a little too much fun in the beer tent, went for a stroll while step mom wasn't looking, and stumbled upon a guy's booth and bought "one of each". He wouldn't tell me how MANY "one of each" was, but he cackled like a witch when I asked. Step mom said she's forcing him to give a few to me, so I'm expecting a delivery or a Dad-visit any day now.
My brother is officially "going steady" with a girl. We've met her a few times and she seems like a real sweetheart. She's our age and has a little boy (5-6 years old, I haven't asked) from a previous relationship (The dad's not in the picture from what I can gather). She's the granddaughter of one of his Book Club members, so the old ladies made good match makers in the end. The relationship is still very new and I'm routing for them.
No new Stardew Valley updates. Work has been a little crazy lately and I haven't been able to play much of anything, and brother has been distracted by his new lady friend. So, husband finally started Baldur's Gate 3, and fell for Gale's "magic trick" so now those two are a thing. I expect him to be sufficiently distracted from reality for the next few weeks.

NEW UPDATE MARKED WITH ----
[New Update]: My family forgot to invite me to my grandparents funeral, but they are convinced I was there.
Trigger Warnings: death of loved ones, emotional manipulation, gaslighting, harassment
Original Post: November 14, 2023**
I’m 30s F and caused a major blowup in my family and now none of them are talking to me. For background, my hometown is tiny (500pop) and when I went 2 hrs away to “the city” (15,000pop) for college, I loved it. I ended up staying after graduation, got married, and am happy here for a decade. I visit my home town every few weeks or so, call/text my family near daily, and thought we were all good. My family’s pretty small. Just my brother, mom, step dad, dad, step mom, and an aunt and uncle (mom’s siblings, never married, no kids). My mother's grandparents moved to my home town when I was in high school and were just down the street from us. My family has always been pretty drama free (aside from my parent’s divorce when I was a kid) and we’ve been happy. The step-parents were blended in perfectly and we share holidays and celebrations together. We’re all super close and just the perfect little group.
Ever since I moved away, the topic of “when am I moving back?” is constant, and I’ve always laughed it off. My home town has nothing. You have to drive 30 minutes for milk and bread. 60-90 minute one-way commutes to work. And floods shut down the main road every Easter. I love the town, but I love here more. I have parks, stores, community events, a library! The “city” is great. My family grumbles that I need to move back, but I refuse. I've been trying to encourage them to come here, especially since it's not an hour drive to the nearest medical facility.
Now to the meat and potatoes: both my grandparents passed over COVID times. They were both old and their health had been failing for a while so it was only a matter of time. Thankfully they didn’t catch it, but it made visiting them impossible and we survived mostly through FaceTime. They both passed in their sleep months apart. Both were cremated and kept securely under the kitchen sink for safe keeping while the pandemic blew over. That was 2021.
Well, I just found out my family held a funeral for them and scattered the ashes in my uncle’s maple grove over the summer. No one said a word to me about it. I’ve visited numerous times before and after and not one word. I only found out because my great uncle from California posted on Facebook a few weeks ago that he is entering hospice and was so thankful his health stayed strong enough for him to see his little sister (my grandma) to her final resting place. I was confused and called my mom. She was all “Yeah, the funeral we had in July, remember?” Ya’ll, I visited them for the 4th of July. They did the funeral the 8th. Not a word about it to me. They had planned this for months. Long enough to arrange for my infirm great uncle to be brought over from the other side of the country. Apparently, they talked about it “all the time”.
Everyone is convinced I was at the funeral. They SWEAR I was there. I can prove I wasn’t because Google’s got my location history. My hubby is baffled because he was supposedly there, too, but he had to work every weekend in June and July. Time clock doesn’t lie. My family straight up forgot about me. I’m hurt. I’m sad. And they’re pissed at me “for lying”. They think I’m causing drama over nothing. Nothing I say can convince them I wasn’t there. My family is united in this. And they’ve all put me “on read” until I admit I’m wrong. They think I’ve gone nuts. Either there’s a doppelganger of me attending events, or my family doesn’t want to admit they screwed up. I’m not backing down.
Thanksgiving is coming up, and my family’s been vague posting on Facebook about “forgetful kids” and mental health. It’s so freaking weird and I don’t know if I’m in bizzaro world or what’s going on. My mom’s best friend reached out and said I should just admit I was wrong and apologize, that I’m causing my mom so much unnecessary stress. I asked her if she’s checked everyone’s home for CO2. She hung up on me. (We checked our CO2, and our testers are running just fine.) I have reached out to a few people in my home town to check in on my folks, and they all say they're fine. I even spoke with the local volunteer fire fighter group to see if they could check for gas leaks. Not sure if they were able to.
I don’t know what to do. I’ve shown them the proof I wasn’t there, but they know I’m tech savvy and just assume I’ve Photoshopped it. Hubby says we need a break, and we’re going to be staying home this holiday season.
Edit: I don't know the update rules, so I'll post updates to my profile should anyone want them.
Update #1: November 27, 2023
Not sure how to do updates on posts, so figured I'd post anything on my profile. Folks have private messaged me and this will be easier I think?
It's 11/27 and Thanksgiving just happened. Hubby and I stayed home. We got a small turkey and made our own little thanksgiving. It was nice. We ate around noon, then watched a movie, and later sat outside with a bottle of wine to watch the sun set behind the trees and neighbor houses.
We usually take the day before off, drive to my folks, stay the night, and help with the Thanksgiving Day cooking. So it wasn't until Wednesday night that my mom broke the silence. Mom called and asked when I was showing up, and I told her we were staying home this year, but for them to have a happy Thanksgiving, and to give the rest of the family my love. She was quiet for a long time after I said that, and I think she eventually mumbled an "okay", or something, and hung up. It wasn't an angry hang up. Just a hang up. On Thanksgiving day, I sent a group "Happy Thanksgiving!" gif to our family group chat. I received a few "happy Thanksgiving"'s back. No one's said anything else. There's been no posts on Facebook.
Update #2: December 12, 2023
So, I think I mentioned in one of my comments that my dad and I usually talk on the phone every Sunday morning. We're both early risers so we'd chat over our morning coffees and watch the sunrise. Him and I haven't really spoken since this all went down and it's been tough. I'm used to talking to him, you know?
Well, I was sitting outside in my usual spot, watching the sun rise and freezing my butt off, and he called me. I'm not entirely sure how to describe the emotions I felt. It was a mix of panic, hope, terror, happiness, and dread. I ended up answering because I just had to know what he wanted. It was an awkward conversation. He didn't address the current "drama", but instead tiptoed around the situation with all the grace of an cow on stilts. For instance, a simple "How are you doing?" Type question was answered with a "Not good." And the whole conversation would stall out for a bit because he knew why I wasn't doing well. So we ended up talking about the weather, the various winter birds we'd seen in our feeders, and the Christmas decorations around town. Things like that.
Eventually he asked if we were coming out for Christmas, and sounded sad when I told him we weren't. He asked if him and step mom could come visit us instead, and I told him it wasn't a good idea this year. That hubby and I were going to spend a quiet holiday together. I let him know he should be receiving some gifts at his PO Box any day now, so to please pick them up from the post office and put them under the family tree for everyone. He said he'd ship ours to us as well.
And that was pretty much it. No crazy drama to report. The only posts on Facebook have been the usual Christmas excitement ones, countdowns, photos of Santa, silly gift ideas, photos of company Christmas parties.
On a personal note: Hubby and I are doing alright. Our health is good, our spirits high, and we're as solid as ever. We each got Christmas bonus' at our jobs, so we're excited about that. They're not large, but we're happy to have them. We have also done advent calendars for the first time ever. I got him a Lego one, and he got me a hot chocolate one. We're going to do the calendars again next year. Maybe make a tradition out of it.
Everyone please have a safe and happy holidays.
Inheritance: December 16, 2023
I've received a lot - A LOT - of messages and private DMs urging me to check into inheritance and such. I'm really touched a lot of Internet strangers are worried about me and I wanted to ensure everyone that inheritance is most likely not an issue here. I'd almost be relieved if it was, because then it would at least make some sense. Money does weird things to people, you know?
No one in my family is wealthy by any means. After my grandparents' passed, their small estate was used to pay for their end of life expenses and remaining assets split up. Everyone directly related got an equal split (so excluded my dad and the step parents). I don't remember the exact amount I received, but it was around $5k if I recall. My brother gave me his share, too, so I could finish paying off my college debt while the interest freeze was active.
The great uncle from California has kids and grand kids, and great grandkids of his own, and also isn't wealthy. I think one of his kids makes good money doing something in finance, but I'm not entirely sure. I can't imagine he left us anything, as we hardly knew him. My mom, aunt, and uncle only met him a few times in their lives, and my brother and I even less. Grandma and him were close, but I don't think he liked my grandpa much.
Christmas: December 25, 2023
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I've received a lot of support through my posts and I'm really grateful. Writing these updates have had a therapeutic effect.
Yesterday was Sunday, but I didn't answer my dad when he called. I just really didn't feel up to a pointless chat, so let it go to voicemail. He tried to reach me a few times throughout the day, but I didn't answer.
Our bestie last minute invited us over to his house for Christmas day lunch (today), so husband and I were busy all Christmas Eve making cookies, peanut brittle, and homemade suckers/hard candies for his kids. Mom tried to reach out as well, but I also ignored her calls.
We had a BLAST at lunch! Our friend's kids are a lot of fun to be around. They got some techy presents from their grandparents (Quest vr headset and steam decks, lucky little rascals) Friend and his wife aren't good with tech, while hubby and I are, so we helped get them set up while our friend played a good host to his folks and inlaws. The grandparents didn't realize that a Steam deck required a Steam account, so we got the kids all their own accounts set up, added them to our steam friends lists, and gifted them some games. We also bought them a few VR games for their headset, and they were off to the races with Beat Saber in no time.
As for my folks: My brother texted and asked if we could talk sometime tomorrow. I think me ignoring mom and dad has caused some kind of upset. Which they deserve.
Brother’s call: December 26, 2023
Spoke with my brother over the phone this morning.
For starters, he apologized for everything. Him and I are good (for now). For a bit of background, my brother and I are only 2 years apart. There weren't a lot of kids around growing up, so the two of us were often stuck doing stuff together. So we have a lot of shared interests and passions. He's been pretty silent on this whole matter, but still "part of the group", if you know what I mean. I think the thought of losing him out of my life was probably the most painful, because he's always been there. He was my rock until I met my husband. He's definitely a Mama's boy, though, so anything mom wanted, he made sure she got. I'm happy to have him back.
Without further ado, here's the story from the horse's mouth:
Mom apparently had a cancer scare late last year (which no one told me about, go figure), and dad had a stint put in his heart back in January (which I did know about). This "sense of mortality" has apparently lit a fire under Mom's ass to get me back home. But since I wasn't reacting to her passive aggressive hinting, she and step mom decided to go full crazy. My great uncle's health was bad, and he'd been asking about funeral arrangements for his sister (my grandma) for a while, so the moms decided to plan it. And use the event as a giant middle finger to me. They kept all the planning pretty hush-hush between the two of them, so no one on our side of the family actually knew about the funeral until like 2 weeks before. The moms said they'd invited hubby and I. No one thought anything about it. No one thought to mention, confirm, or check with me.
The plan was to scatter the ashes, say a few words, and maybe head to town for lunch. It was a small affair. The mom's didn't even tell the family that our great uncle was coming for it. Like I said, it was a small thing. Barely a footnote. No one thought it was odd because we're pretty chill people.
4th of July happens. Hubby and I are out. No one thought to mention it, as we were all busy celebrating and having a great time. Any time the topic of "this weekend" would start, the conversation would be quickly shifted by one of the moms. We went back home.
8th of July happens. Great uncle rolls into town with a few of his kids, grandkids, and great grandkids, and it's a surprise to everyone (but the moms). Everyone drives to the maple grove and the moms have brought a ton of food and stuff. It's a full blown party. No one on my side noticed I wasn't there, because there were so many extra faces outside the usual group. They did the spreading of the ashes, they said their words, they ate, they had a great time. It wasn't until our great uncle left, and all his side left with him, that they realized I wasn't there. And hadn't been there.
And this is where the crazy went up a notch. My brother says the moms were happy no one noticed I wasn't there. And that this was proof to everyone that I needed to move back because I was so easily forgotten about. Because none of them thought to reach out, right? They basically did a ton of guilt tripping manipulation bullshit and it made everyone upset at me for not showing up. Somehow it was my fault for being excluded. So suddenly everyone was on their side with "sticking it to me".
But then a few months went by, and tempers cooled, and then I guess the horror of it set in. Followed by the shame, but by then they were "in too deep". How do you undo something like this? And since I hadn't brought it up, I guess they figured they would all just stay quiet about it and hope I never asked about a funeral.
That's when I discovered the situation from my great uncle's Facebook and called my mom, who panicked and went with the stupidest solution. Claiming I was there. Don't I remember?
I ended up talking with a few friends from high school, mentioning the situation, and word got back to those in town. So suddenly town gossip and little old church ladies got involved. Was I, or wasn't I at the funeral? Did my family forget to invite me to the funeral of the only grandparents I'd ever know? Or am I just causing a ruckus? My brother said they all just went with mom's answer. Of course they wouldn't forget me. Of course I was there. Of course they're good people. And it just snowballed.
The family expected me to eventually fold. I'm usually a nonconfrontational person, so me sticking to my guns was unexpected. And then I missed Thanksgiving. And now Christmas. With no sign of backing down. And I guess the realization that I could just stop being part of their lives is setting in and my parents are panicking. He's tried just getting them to apologize and explain, but stubbornness prevails. They want to rug sweep, but I'm not letting them.
My brother is upset with everything that's happened. He's realized just how crappy it all has been and he wants nothing to do with it anymore. But since he lives with my mom, he can't "get away from it".
He has asked if he can come stay with us for a little bit. I spoke with hubby, and he's in agreement with me that my brother can come crash in our spare bedroom for as long as he wants. Brother works remotely, so it's no trouble for him to pick up and go. I believe he's making the trip today or tomorrow. Not entirely sure, but I expect crap to hit the fan when he arrives.
On a side note, hubby's stoked that my brother and I made up. The two usually game together, but haven't due to "the situation". He's downstairs right now setting up his man cave in preparation for my brother's arrival. I'm happy to see him so excited.
Brother's Here: December 27, 2023
My brother rolled in late last night. He'd obviously been crying and when I opened the door, he just held me and sobbed. I'd never seen him like that before and soon both of us were just standing in the doorway crying into one another. He kept apologizing. Over and over again. Said he wasn't sure why he went with it. Just kept saying sorry. Hubby got him all set up in the spare bedroom while brother and I talked. My brother's a wreck. He's always been a big guy, but he's lost a lot of weight and his clothes just hang off him. If I didn't know better, I'd think he was on drugs. We talked for a little bit before bed and he re-explained everything for my husband. I'd told hubby the story, but it was just so weird that hearing it again helped.
This morning my brother was up at dawn making some coffee and getting his work day going. Hubby's off all week (lucky) so hubby made us working folk some pancakes and bacon. So far everything's peaceful. We've decided not to answer any calls from our family. They've been made aware that he arrived safely, and that we are going to spend the New Years together, and that we're not answering any calls until January 1st. They may text if they wish. I'm sure they're losing their minds. Serves them right.
Everyone, have a safe and happy new years! Don't drink and drive!
Happy 2024!: January 2, 2024
I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable holidays, and may the new year be full of joy and happiness!
Not too much of an update. Things here have been quiet. My brother's settled in nicely and he's a great housemate. Our place isn't very big, but we have full basement and a nice outside patio/porch area so it doesn't feel crowded at all with the extra addition. He's a quiet and clean guy. No hassle at all. He got some fresh clothes from the Walmart, a haircut, and trimmed his beard, so he's more "presentable" now. He's a lady killer when he gets cleaned up. He's made nice with the (very nosy, but kind) retired couple next door and is adapting to "city living" nicely.
Folks back home have been mostly well behaved. There's been a few texts back and forth, as we're not answering calls. Mom mainly wants to know when brother's coming back, but he's keen on staying here for a while. Mom said I can't "keep him" and I told her he's a grown ass man and can do what he wants. Brother says he has her blocked after she ORDERED him to return home.
Brother has tentatively asked if he could stay long term, should he decide to, or at least longer than a usual visitor would stay. Which we're fine with. He has a good paying job and could afford an apartment, but he's never lived on his own and I would guess he has some anxiety about it. Should that be the case, he'll start paying us some rent and we'd probably adjust to give him the basement as his own space.
Had to change the locks: January 17, 2024
My brother is officially staying with us for the long haul. Hubby and him spent all Sunday organizing the basement and shifting things around so he now has his own area to be comfortable in. He's pretty handy and has also started fixing little things around our house. Our windows and doors have never closed and locked/unlocked smoother. He even fixed one of the closets we never use because we can never get the darn door open. Sadly, he also had to change the locks on our house and get us all new keys.
This is because while hubby and I were out this Saturday, the moms showed up. They'd been calling and texting us all week, but we weren't really answering them, so I guess the two decided to drive over and hash it out in person. They have emergency keys to my place, and just let themselves in. Brother told them to leave, they argued, and my nosy (but kind) neighbors called the police when they noticed the commotion. So, we get a call from neighbor's wife, return home to some cops in our yard, all the neighbors out "vacuuming their trees", and my nosy (but kind) neighbors standing on my porch with my brother behind them, doing their best Gandalf "You shall not pass" impression.
Had to talk with the cops, explain that we were having a family dispute and word vomited. I don't really remember what all I said, and was shaking a lot. Our local cops are really great. Fantastic guys and gals in blue, and took it all in stride. It's really cold here, so one had me join him in his cruiser with the heat on, and gave me a bottle of water to calm down while we talked. They asked if we wanted the moms trespassed but I wasn't sure if that counted as a criminal charge so just asked the cops if they could just make them leave, which the cops did with no fuss. I think the moms were shocked we were taking this so seriously. They didn't fight or scream at us. Just left quietly.
My dad promised me he'd make sure his wife left us alone. "Or else". He said he'd also have a stern talk with my mom. Him and I talked Sunday morning, and he seemed absolutely at the end of his rope. Husband jokingly told my dad he could move in, too. To which he declined.
Not sure where to go from here, but we're getting some ring cameras installed once they arrive. And everyone but my dad is blocked. Hopefully they all just leave us alone.
Nothing New To Report: February 2, 2024
Had a lot of DMs for updates, but don't have much anything to report on. The moms are behaving themselves. All's quiet on the western front. Felt weird ignoring or copy/pasting "no updates" to everyone, so here's what we've been doing, should anyone care.
Dad got a new bird/squirrel feeder from Amazon (looks like a little picnic table for a child's dolly but has a mesh top for the bird seed. I think it's supposed to be for chickens?) It's totes adorbs. To his horror, it also works as a Cooper hawk feeder, so now he's "fortifying his defenses" and putting up some trellises around it. He'll have to wait till warmer weather before planting anything to grow on them.
We had some ring cameras installed and put in a motion-activated camera that double functions as a light bulb. It goes in the light fixture outside the front door and is pretty cool. Video quality isn't all that great, but it's a nice addition I guess. It does overlook the bird feeders, so I've been watching it on my lunch breaks on the days I have to go into the office.
Hubby and brother are feuding. They started a coop farm in Stardew Valley a few days ago and they both want to romance Leah. My husband confided in me that he's also been romancing Sebastian as a backup. I'm not sure why he's keeping this a secret, but he's pretty smug about it.

fractal_frog I hope your dad can outsmart the hawks!
OOP: He'll be able to, I just know it. He's used to dealing with the wildlife and having hawks about, but he just wasn't expecting one to snag a meal right from his new feeder.MissOP: keep the updates coming. the moms are so close to folding it's just a little bit more. LMAO also, the bro mance between your husband and brother is so cute. lol Honestly, I think your husband making sure he has a side piece of Sebastian is absolutely the play.
I told him it was "technically" still a bird feeder. Just....for bigger birds. Which he thought was funny. He said he might make a little "no hawks allowed" sign to put up next to it.
OOP: So far still no word from the moms, but I hope you're right. I would love an apology and for us to begin moving past this. But I NEED that apology. I feel selfish saying that, but I refuse to "be the bigger person" on this. I just won't.Update: February 27, 2024
As for my brother and husband, yeah, they're basically soul mates. The two hit it off immediately when they first met, and they've been thick as thieves for years.
My dad came out for a visit over the weekend. We had a good time and the weather was lovely for some grilling and beers. It was really nice to see him again and he seemed healthy and in good spirits.
Here's his report from back home: Step mom (dad's wife) has started to realize she's screwed up. I credit her change of mindset to the fact that my dad sat her down and laid it out for her: she leaves his kids alone, or she's getting divorce papers. That apparently shut her up right quick, because they had a prenup done when they married and I'm not sure the details of it, but it wouldn't end favorably for her. She hasn't worked in years, so I imagine she'd be eligible for alimony? But I'm not versed in any of that legal mumbojumbo. Dad didn't seem too worried about it, so I'm not gonna worry about it.
Step dad was pissed the police were involved in the last "mom visit" (despite no one getting arrested or anything) and was in a "the kids are out of control and need to be reigned back in" mindset. When my dad pointed out that "the kids" in question were all in their mid-30s, it took some of the steam out of stepdad's sails. According to my dad, even my mom looked a little surprised when he said that. So, part of me is wondering if a good chunk of this whole thing is my mom not truly realizing that her kids were grown, and no longer children she could make demands of. Both of the moms have left us alone. I expected my mom to continue to kick up a fuss, but I think the cops spooked her.
There was a wonderful suggestion by a comment or to get their pastor involved, which I passed along to my dad. Dad has since spoken to their pastor about everything. He's a young guy, relatively new to their church, and joked that his first month on the job he had to do 3 funerals in a row and his new "flock" were just dying to get away from him, so he's got a sense of humor which is nice. The new pastor agreed to sit down with everyone and help the family hash it all out in a true "Come to Jesus" type moment next month, so that maybe we could celebrate Easter together as our first holiday as a family. Dad said the pastor was aware our family was having some troubles, but unsure of exactly what was going on, and since he was new, the pastor didn't want to pry. He has also agreed to do a small service down at my uncle's maple grove later in the summer, as it usually floods and is a muddy mess all spring. According to my dad, my aunt and uncle are so over all the drama and just ready to move on, so I expect hugs and apologies from them when we next meet.
Stardew Valley Update: My brother was victorious in the grand fight for Leah. It was a hard battle. Well fought. When my husband exposed his plans to woo Sebastian all this time, it was quite the betrayal. Dramatics aside, their farm is really cute and I'm so happy they're enjoying the game!
Update 4/1 - Final one I think - April 1, 2024
Happy April Fools everyone! I hope you all check your caramel apples for stray onions before taking a bite! I also hope your Easter weekend was a delightful one.
It is with great joy that I tell you all about our most recent update! Possibly even a conclusion to this whole ordeal.
The entire family (aunt, uncle, moms, dads, brother, me, husband) and pastor met at my dad's house and we all sat down to hash the situation out. As expected from what my dad said, my aunt and uncle greeted us all with apologies and hugs, which was nice. My uncle usually helps host the Easter egg hunts with the church and he brought our Easter baskets to give to us in case us kids weren't sticking around the for the weekend. I'm not sure why but seeing it made me tear up and feel stupid, because it was just a basket of candy but it meant a lot to me for some reason.
The pastor led us in a prayer and talked about forgiveness and such. He then asked us all to talk one at a time about how we're feeling and what we want the end result of today to be. No one was allowed to interrupt so everyone got to talk. It was nice. The consensus for the group was that most everyone wanted things to go back to "normal". The only ones who had any variance off this was my mom and step dad. They both wanted all us kids to move back to the area.
The pastor asked them why they wanted us back, and neither could give a good reason other than "because family", and the pastor asked us if we were thriving where we were. And we said we were. He asked if we were happy there. Which we were. He then asked my mom and step dad if they wanted us to give up our happiness to make them happy.
And Mom broke down and said no. We all had a good cry. The pastor then asked about the funeral and lies that led up to it and followed it and how it made us all feel and what we wished we'd done differently if we had the chance. It was all very emotional, but in a good way, you know? Everyone apologized and admitted they f-ed up and did a really crappy thing.
We all talked for a long, long time and the pastor was a great mediator. Eventually we all reached some sort of resolution and I think we're good now. Emotions are still high and a little raw in areas, but we stayed for Easter weekend and had a nice time. We're going to keep moving forward slowly and try to repair the relationship, but I believe we're well and truly out of the woods.
As for my brother, he's still staying with us, and mom will stop trying to guilt trip him back home. He's thinking about renting a small apartment in our area but we're not pushing him to make a decision. He knows he's welcome to stay as long as he wants. I think he wants to try dating (he's had a few girlfriends but never anything serious) and is embarrassed to bring any girls around our place, lol. He's been going to a few random classes/bookclubs at the local library for something free to do and hitting it off with all the little old ladies who attend, and they keep trying to hook him up with girls his age who they know. He has been on a few lunches/coffee dates with a couple girls, but I think he's too embarrassed by the attention to give it a real try at "dating" any of them. He's happy, though, which is all I could ask for.
I'm not sure if there will be any more updates, as I think it's all be resolved about as much as it can be at the moment. I wanted to thank you all for your words of advice and giving me a place to vent and scream into the void. Please be kind to one another and to yourselves. Thank you.

emjkr: What a nice and hopeful update, I’m really glad you stuck to your guns when everyone threw sanity out the window!
But, could your mother explain how she thought this would work out in her favour?
OOP: I don't think mom thought too far ahead. I believe she assumed it would all just magically work out the way she wanted it to. She said she wasn't sure what she was expecting to happen (which I think was a lie, but I wasn't going to push it).mak_zaddy: This was a great update! But ummmmmm no stardew valley update? What gives? Has Sebastian been woo’ed? How’s Leah? What’s happening?
OOP: Sebastian has indeed been wooed (and whoohooed) There's kids and cows and chickens. The two are still having a wonderful time at the game. They're working on completing the community center but it's slow going as they aren't trying to speedrun and just doing things as they want. I believe they're thinking about going into the desert mines once they complete that bundle, but they're both super chicken shit about it!-my-cabbages: I don't really understand what you had to apologize for ... but I'm glad you're happy and the situation seems to be settling down
OOP: There wasn't much of an apology on my end, as everyone agreed I had done nothing wrong. Mine was more of a "I'm sorry you didn't feel as though I would listen." Type apology, which I don't really believe is a proper apology because apologies like that push the blame back on another. I mostly expressed my feelings and the shock of it all, and how betrayed I felt.
----NEW UPDATE----
Small, happy update: May 7, 2024 (1 month later)Things as wonderful as the moment. Still doing baby steps with The Moms. We're texting and talking on the phones more, which is nice. Very civil.
Dad "accidentally" bought a bunch of hand crafted bird feeders at a craft fair. By accidentally, I mean: he had a little too much fun in the beer tent, went for a stroll while step mom wasn't looking, and stumbled upon a guy's booth and bought "one of each". He wouldn't tell me how MANY "one of each" was, but he cackled like a witch when I asked. Step mom said she's forcing him to give a few to me, so I'm expecting a delivery or a Dad-visit any day now.
My brother is officially "going steady" with a girl. We've met her a few times and she seems like a real sweetheart. She's our age and has a little boy (5-6 years old, I haven't asked) from a previous relationship (The dad's not in the picture from what I can gather). She's the granddaughter of one of his Book Club members, so the old ladies made good match makers in the end. The relationship is still very new and I'm routing for them.
No new Stardew Valley updates. Work has been a little crazy lately and I haven't been able to play much of anything, and brother has been distracted by his new lady friend. So, husband finally started Baldur's Gate 3, and fell for Gale's "magic trick" so now those two are a thing. I expect him to be sufficiently distracted from reality for the next few weeks.

2024.05.08 00:45 FoxStreet5111 Storage building disappeared with all my star wars materials, sandstone and late game materials.
I was exploring today and found Mak Krassido wandering and asked him to join me. I decided I was going to make a separate Star Wars village for him and go search for the other wandering villagers. I went thru the cave back to main world and removed a few villagers I didn’t need to make space and when I came back through the tunnel and went to my Main Rebel village my small storage building, the smallest tattoo e build was gone. It had 4 of the largest chests one with sandstone, the other two had Star Wars materials and the 4th had all the little late game and important items as well as like 3 lightsabers and things I needed for crafting tools and making spaceship. I’m pretty bummed about it consider the Star Wars materials are apparently limited which is crazy to think about considering they are needed for all the sets they are selling and I’ve already been through a bunch of caves before knowing to leave one enemy alive for farming materials. Can anyone confirm that there is going to no more enemies added so once you harvest all of the Star Wars wreckage and decorations on the island and defeat all the storm troopers there will be no way to get any more Star Wars materials?

2024.05.06 18:49 fan-dragonoid From dusk till dawn
 | From dusk till dawn submitted by fan-dragonoid to BakuMedia [link] [comments] After the ban dawn and jigen left the bakugan interspace annoyed and worried "We shud report this,there are still some type of doom cards floating around you know?" Said jigen with a worryed expresson,or at least the most worry his bakugan ball form cud show.dawn nobbed and took his phone out,reported the fight and asked for a cleaner and more throrrow screening prosess of the aility cards used.after that dawn just streached around "might as well go back for a trip while haveing to wait,what do you say?"jigen looked down at the ground "we both knew we were gonna go this week,no need to hide it,not from me".dawn's face was sad as he heared it but changed his face to a smirk quickly "your right!" Then both jigen and dawn went to the teleporter rooms,wich now were no more then public transport and went back to gundalia city,the main city of gundalia Day 1:after arriveing jigen jumped onto the shoulder of dawn "you know,i cud have broght us right to the place" dawn smiled as he changes back to his original look "i know,but we have three days to kill anyway,might as well start here" jigen nobs and both went on an uneventful shopping spree,the city was a lot more lively and was bigger and brighter then ever,it was beuteful yet it saddened dawn as it clearly destroyed gundalian architecture.but nether dawn nor jigen gave it much mind Day 2:after wakeing up in the human style motel dawn noticed that some human habbits started to rub on him,like the idea of breakfast or table manners,or rather the way of these as they were completely different in gundalia,wich also was a culture shock in a gundalian cafe both visited later,it was nice to be with ones people yet it wasnt really home,or this place of it isnt and so they both went to a different motel,this one being vestal themed. "So,we have a date tomorrow?" Asked jigen comfused "we both know you arent in the mental headspace to do such a thing,right?" Continued jigen not wanting his partner to be hurt. "Look...i just cudnt say no..." dawn looked down as jigen attemps to hug dawn "might as well try right?: jigen nobs "might as well try." Day 3:after getting ready dawn,together with jigen went to the same cafe they went yesterday,as the date was also said to be there,there partner was really easy to spot,after all a nethian being in a gundalian cafe was very unlikely,especally ordering food from there,so dawn sat down and jigen sat on the tiny table provided for partner bakugan. "I bet your thinking 'why or how is a nethian eating and accually enjoing gundalian food' right?" Dawn,clearly shocked and paniked tryed to reply but sll that came out were muttering and before dawn cudnt completely cover from the emberresment the woman stopped him "its allright,i was accually raised between the two borders...lost my family to war and hid thanks to some gundalian farmers..." dawn looks down "war takes loved ones from all of us..." "you two?" Asked the woman "oh btw,im nova" "Nice to meet you nova,and yea...she was also a nethian..." nova seemed shocked "wait,dont tell me,dawn right?" Dawn seemed more shocked then ever "you know me?!" Nova instantly shushed dawn "not so loud dummy,but yea,i accually was friend with dusk...she died too soon...sadly i didint even hear why or how...nor her last words..." dawn pains the memories yet he smiles while saddened "please,be free,dont let yourself chained into this war like i did,explore the worlds,for the bith of us..." nova and dawn meet there glances as dawn comtinues "these were here last words...saldy i dont really knoe how ether,she most likely got ambushed before i cud see her...and sechs tavanel has gone missing ever since that day..." nova sighs sadly and gets up.then dawn comments "its her death anniversary tomorrow,i know you arent here for the fun of it,wanna meet up tomorrow?" Nova nobs "nethian hotel 31209 nurzak street" i nob and nova leaves,and as i and jigen eat our food we cudnt help but notice a blue bakugan roll onto the tabe,it opened up into a three headed bakugan,the middle hwad haveing a face like horn "soo,apologies to overhear,but dawn right?might take me with ya?" Jigen looks at him "good evening,who do i have the pleashure of meeting?" "Sanzu hollowbos" samzu hopped around proudly as he continues to hype himself up "im the shogun of gundalia,the three headed beast ney,the overlord of battle!" Dawn just looked at him annoyed "and why do you wanna come with?" Sanzu's voice became somber "dawn...we together with sechs tavanel crossed horns(blades) many times,i truely respected them as my equalz,its sad to see them gone..." jigens sighns "look,just dont overdo your part ok?we dont mind more company but we do mind annoying bakugan,ok?" Sanzu replied as if he trained for it "good for the great emperor" both dawn and jigen sigh as all three left for a gundalian motel Day 4: all three left early and met up with nova "whos that on your left shoulder?" Jigen,who was on my right shoulder replies "sanzu hollowbos,a bakugan who also wants to visit dusk's grave" nova smiles a bit "good to see that dusk had soo many friends" dawn nobbs too as they head out,on the way dawn stopped the whole group "wait here please,i need to buy something" nova nobbed and stopped,dawn then supriseingly put both jigen and sanzu into the hands of nova "sorry,but this needs to be done alone,ok?" Jigen nobs "whatever you need my friend". Dawn then enters and soon leaves with a big bag,it was not able to idemtify the item inside it so nova asks about it while samzu and jigen jumb back onto dawn's shoulders "nothing much,but something importent for dusk..." nova hugs dawn "its ok" and then lets go "lets stay strong,for her ok?" Dawn nobs as they continue there journey,soon they were in the farm/country side kf gundalia "i just meet up with some farmers around here,walking by foot to her grave wud be tok dificult nova nobs and waits as dawn goes to the farm hut near them "ey,mate,brother long time no see" dawn seemed genuinely happy for a moment as he hugged the gundalian seniors "oh my how you've grown" said the grandma like gundalian woman "soo hows live dawn?" Asked the grandpa gundalian "its really good,but i cudnt do it without you two" "Nonesense" replied the grandma "helping an orphan in need is nothing specal" "Plus now we have the best security there is" replied the granda while chuckling,dawn chuckled back "ma,pa,mind if i tacke the quad for today?" "Dont mind us sweetie,we know what day it is" said the grandma as she hugs dawn again "thanks ma" and right as dawn left the grandpa gundalian said "see you soon,dont forget you allways have a home here" dawn smiles "i know,thanks pa" replied dawn as he left the hut and signals for nova to come "we will take the quad" then the group jump on the quad and drive for hours into the middle of nowhere,there it was,the grave of dawn,sadness strook the group as reality hit them harder then before,nova sat next to the grave and cried while both jigen and sanzu mourn in silence,at the same time dawn took out a cople rod like pieces out of his bag and connected them,then took a blade out of the blade and maks a spear,nova was clearly comfused "whats that?" She asks.dawn replies "she liked spears the most,she mentioned that she really liked the old gundalian look,so i boght one with costum ingraveings" dawn then stood up and placed the spear into the ground,blade side up while attaching some sort of fabric on it "on this blade stands 'from dusk till dawn,from war to piece,may this be the eternal brige to connect these pieces.' These were her words,and her idea of a united flag" as soon as i finished saying that the fabrig thats now connected to the spear flew in the wind,revealing a badly drawn flag that was a mix of the gundalian and nethian flag,everyone smiled a bit as they finished grieving "ready to go?" Asks nova and dawn nobs "yea" they then drove all the way back and dawn quickly goes back into the hut,hugs grandma and grandpa,gives the keys back and quickly leaves,once in gundalia city nova looks to dawn "hey,wanna go to nethia?you weren't there before were you?" Dawn shook his head "no,sadly not" nova smiles "its the first thing tomorrow then!" Dawn smiles and starts headding to his hotel "deal" Day 5: the trio of dawn,jigen and sanzu left there hotel once more,this time being the nethian hotel and went on there way to meet up with nova,while on the way jigen asks "why are you still sticking aroung?" "What?me?cause i wanna!" Sais sanzu not wantig to admit that ne nether likes being lonley nor that he starts to like both dawn and jigen,jigen just looks at him knowing he tries to hide it "if you say so,just help us if we need it ok?" Sanzu,seeming happy "of corse,i dont know how you two surived eithout my Greatness!" Before anyone cud say anything they met up with nova,they greeted eachother and soon left for nethia,it was no more then a sight seeing tour with some shopping,it was beuteful yet saddening to see the home of the former enemy,the place soo many people died for,for what dusk died for,yet even togh dawn was griefing,this was hard on him,he knew he had others griefing with him,like nova,and soon enoght the day ended and nova went with dawn to the teleport mashines "hey,it was nice to meet up,call me if you ever need me ok?" Nova smiks and jokeingly punches dawn on the arm "need you?more like when you need me" both giggled and soon waved eachother goodbye as dawn activated his teleporter,soon enoght he was back on earth,so he put his human disguise back on wich felt like putting on a set of mwly washed clothes and went back to his appartment "ach,how i missed laying in my bed ey?" Jigen also was laying on his miniature bed "indeed,nd good that we boght a nother one on the way here,sanzu wud have stolen mine" and as dawn looks to sanzu he was allready asleep in his miniature bed,dawn giggles "goodnight jigen" said dawn to his partner jigen "goodnight to you too sanzu,even if you dont hear me tonight" jigen also giggles "Goodnight dawn" The end |

Nova instantly shushed dawn "not so loud dummy,but yea,i accually was friend with dusk...she died too soon...sadly i didint even hear why or how...nor her last words..." dawn pains the memories yet he smiles while saddened "please,be free,dont let yourself chained into this war like i did,explore the worlds,for the bith of us..." nova and dawn meet there glances as dawn comtinues "these were here last words...saldy i dont really knoe how ether,she most likely got ambushed before i cud see her...and sechs tavanel has gone missing ever since that day..." nova sighs sadly and gets up.then dawn comments "its her death anniversary tomorrow,i know you arent here for the fun of it,wanna meet up tomorrow?" Nova nobs "nethian hotel 31209 nurzak street" i nob and nova leaves,and as i and jigen eat our food we cudnt help but notice a blue bakugan roll onto the tabe,it opened up into a three headed bakugan,the middle hwad haveing a face like horn "soo,apologies to overhear,but dawn right?might take me with ya?" Jigen looks at him "good evening,who do i have the pleashure of meeting?" "Sanzu hollowbos" samzu hopped around proudly as he continues to hype himself up "im the shogun of gundalia,the three headed beast ney,the overlord of battle!" Dawn just looked at him annoyed "and why do you wanna come with?" Sanzu's voice became somber "dawn...we together with sechs tavanel crossed horns(blades) many times,i truely respected them as my equalz,its sad to see them gone..." jigens sighns "look,just dont overdo your part ok?we dont mind more company but we do mind annoying bakugan,ok?" Sanzu replied as if he trained for it "good for the great emperor" both dawn and jigen sigh as all three left for a gundalian motel Day 4: all three left early and met up with nova "whos that on your left shoulder?" Jigen,who was on my right shoulder replies "sanzu hollowbos,a bakugan who also wants to visit dusk's grave" nova smiles a bit "good to see that dusk had soo many friends" dawn nobbs too as they head out,on the way dawn stopped the whole group "wait here please,i need to buy something" nova nobbed and stopped,dawn then supriseingly put both jigen and sanzu into the hands of nova "sorry,but this needs to be done alone,ok?" Jigen nobs "whatever you need my friend". Dawn then enters and soon leaves with a big bag,it was not able to idemtify the item inside it so nova asks about it while samzu and jigen jumb back onto dawn's shoulders "nothing much,but something importent for dusk..." nova hugs dawn "its ok" and then lets go "lets stay strong,for her ok?" Dawn nobs as they continue there journey,soon they were in the farm/country side kf gundalia "i just meet up with some farmers around here,walking by foot to her grave wud be tok dificult nova nobs and waits as dawn goes to the farm hut near them "ey,mate,brother long time no see" dawn seemed genuinely happy for a moment as he hugged the gundalian seniors "oh my how you've grown" said the grandma like gundalian woman "soo hows live dawn?" Asked the grandpa gundalian "its really good,but i cudnt do it without you two" "Nonesense" replied the grandma "helping an orphan in need is nothing specal" "Plus now we have the best security there is" replied the granda while chuckling,dawn chuckled back "ma,pa,mind if i tacke the quad for today?" "Dont mind us sweetie,we know what day it is" said the grandma as she hugs dawn again "thanks ma" and right as dawn left the grandpa gundalian said "see you soon,dont forget you allways have a home here" dawn smiles "i know,thanks pa" replied dawn as he left the hut and signals for nova to come "we will take the quad" then the group jump on the quad and drive for hours into the middle of nowhere,there it was,the grave of dawn,sadness strook the group as reality hit them harder then before,nova sat next to the grave and cried while both jigen and sanzu mourn in silence,at the same time dawn took out a cople rod like pieces out of his bag and connected them,then took a blade out of the blade and maks a spear,nova was clearly comfused "whats that?" She asks.dawn replies "she liked spears the most,she mentioned that she really liked the old gundalian look,so i boght one with costum ingraveings" dawn then stood up and placed the spear into the ground,blade side up while attaching some sort of fabric on it "on this blade stands 'from dusk till dawn,from war to piece,may this be the eternal brige to connect these pieces.' These were her words,and her idea of a united flag" as soon as i finished saying that the fabrig thats now connected to the spear flew in the wind,revealing a badly drawn flag that was a mix of the gundalian and nethian flag,everyone smiled a bit as they finished grieving "ready to go?" Asks nova and dawn nobs "yea" they then drove all the way back and dawn quickly goes back into the hut,hugs grandma and grandpa,gives the keys back and quickly leaves,once in gundalia city nova looks to dawn "hey,wanna go to nethia?you weren't there before were you?" Dawn shook his head "no,sadly not" nova smiles "its the first thing tomorrow then!" Dawn smiles and starts headding to his hotel "deal" Day 5: the trio of dawn,jigen and sanzu left there hotel once more,this time being the nethian hotel and went on there way to meet up with nova,while on the way jigen asks "why are you still sticking aroung?" "What?me?cause i wanna!" Sais sanzu not wantig to admit that ne nether likes being lonley nor that he starts to like both dawn and jigen,jigen just looks at him knowing he tries to hide it "if you say so,just help us if we need it ok?" Sanzu,seeming happy "of corse,i dont know how you two surived eithout my Greatness!" Before anyone cud say anything they met up with nova,they greeted eachother and soon left for nethia,it was no more then a sight seeing tour with some shopping,it was beuteful yet saddening to see the home of the former enemy,the place soo many people died for,for what dusk died for,yet even togh dawn was griefing,this was hard on him,he knew he had others griefing with him,like nova,and soon enoght the day ended and nova went with dawn to the teleport mashines "hey,it was nice to meet up,call me if you ever need me ok?" Nova smiks and jokeingly punches dawn on the arm "need you?more like when you need me" both giggled and soon waved eachother goodbye as dawn activated his teleporter,soon enoght he was back on earth,so he put his human disguise back on wich felt like putting on a set of mwly washed clothes and went back to his appartment "ach,how i missed laying in my bed ey?" Jigen also was laying on his miniature bed "indeed,nd good that we boght a nother one on the way here,sanzu wud have stolen mine" and as dawn looks to sanzu he was allready asleep in his miniature bed,dawn giggles "goodnight jigen" said dawn to his partner jigen "goodnight to you too sanzu,even if you dont hear me tonight" jigen also giggles "Goodnight dawn" The end |
2024.05.06 03:25 iamproudintrovert wait for college results or secure my slot at phinma?
wait for other results or secure my slot on phinma?
so the title says it all, i am kind of unsure what to do and where to enroll. graduating as SHS grade 12 student, and around april, saint jude emailed me saying that i passed their scholarship exam and im qualified for HK 10. I've seen some good and bad reviews about the school, but mainly what stood out the most is how horrible they treat IT students (im taking BSIT).
i can pay 750 as downpayment para masecure slot ko, or wait for the results sa uMak, PUP, DOST Scholarship, and take the exam on TUP but i don't know, is there anything that i should do in this situation?

2024.05.04 19:25 goingdeeeep Random Star Wars Villager encounters?
I looked through the threads and didn't see anything about this - apologies if it's been discussed.
When I was wandering on the Star Wars island, I ran into a human female Rebel Pilot named Su Sifta in the Frostlands (she was patrolling with two Rebel Troopers). I asked her to adventure with me, and she was a delightful partner while attacking Empire caves. She's got an excitable personality that's fairly charming.
When I brought her back to my Level 9 Rebel Village, I asked her to join - she said she could not unless I asked someone else to leave. I was willing to evict one of the Farming Droids (but there were no options to do so). I eventually brought her back to one of my Mainland Villages and was able to invite her to live there. Interestingly - she shows up as a Named Villager, but has no details in her bio.
My main question - has anyone run into other random Star Wars Villagers while adventuring? I'm curious who else is out there, and if there are Wookiees or Twi'leks or Ewoks, etc.!
Edited to add:
It appears you can find at least 4 named Wandering Star Wars NPCs on SW Island (all are human thus far): -Beck Pirra, a female smuggler -Mak Krissido, a male Rebel Pilot -Su Sifta, a female Rebel Pilot -Tal Tirrus, a male Smuggler
Thanks to many folks below who shared their findings - I can confirm all 4 of these, and I have found them as well.
As pointed out by u/theycallmeKozi: they tend to walk along the paths on your maps; and they usually seem to be in company with 2 Rebel Soldiers (with the white round hats). Once you converse, and request the chattable NPC join you, the other two wander off on their own.
As of now, you are unable to add them to the Rebel Village. You'll need to either start a second village on SW Island; or bring them back to the main Fortnite Island and place them in one of your normal villages. For some reason, they also currently lack bios (although they do show up as Residents on the Resident/Bio screen).
Good luck to all looking - and thanks for those who shared their findings!

 | So, I noticed that we got Silvervine Senri in the latest Mini Box, which has some fun interactions with Obedience Beasts/Unicore Control/whatever you want to call it. submitted by EmrysX77 to DuelLinks [link] [comments] But it’s also just level 2 support in general, soooo….this is my not-at-all serious take on a level/rank/link-2 deck that incorporates a couple of distinct engines. |
