Accompany her where? I feel like that’s an important piece to this puzzle. Are we talking about running some errands, or an out of town trip?

Most recently, she asked me to go out of town with her during a time that I cannot take off.

WWTOTD Wife Question
Posted by HollywoodCourt on 8/26/25 at 11:34 am
This seems to be the place for this.
Background: My wife has two children from a previous marriage, and we have one together. In the past +12 years there has been times when she has asked me to accompany her, if I was unavailable, she immediately tells me she's going to take our son. He's +21 years but under 25.
Most recently, she asked me to go out of town with her during a time that I cannot take off. Immediately after saying I couldn't go, she said "ok, I'll just take [her son]." This has happened a few times before when I was unable to accompany her.
I have expressed that it feels like she is replacing me and that she is too quick to find an alternate to take my spot, but she just says that she doesn't want to not go just because I can't.
It doesn't bother me that he goes with her, it bothers me that she’s quick to dismiss my absence and find an alternative. It’s almost like this gif:
What would you do in this situation that I haven’t already done?

Marriott Bonvoy Product Chage
Posted by HollywoodCourt on 8/1/25 at 11:48 am
This might be a better question for the Money Board, but since this board is full of seasoned travelers I thought I should start here first.
I’ve been a Marriott Bonvoy card holder for about 6 years now and recently learned about The Ritz Carlton Card from a fellow hotel guest. I’ve done the research and I am aware of the $450 annual fee, the free night (up to 85k points), the TSA precheck and $300 travel credit, as well as all the travel insurance and car rental insurance, but I want to know if anyone on this board has firsthand experience with the card and if they could give their perspective on how changing affected them.

We just got the Limited for the wife 6 months ago and she's very pleased. Went with the Limited over the Caligraphy because the minor esthetic differences didn't warrant the higher price tag.
I've driven it a handful of times and it's a pleasure to drive. Roomy and spacious for our family of five. Great on road trips.
So far, no problems. Chose it over the KIA Telluride because she liked "the feel" interior better.

You need to find an example that includes the QB making a football move towards the ball carrier to support your arguments.

B44 intercepts the pass of A12 at the B-20 and turns back up-field on the return
During the return, B21 approaches A88 at midfield from the blind side and blocks A88
(a) with extended hands;
(b) with a screen type block;
(c) by attacking with forcible contact with his shoulder into the chest of A88;
(d) by attacking with forcible contact with the shoulder into the head of A88 B44 returns the pass to the A-20
Notice in your example that A12 threw the interception but was not involved in the play at anytime after the fact.
Your example is inconclusive of what protection a QB has in that situation.

I don't know whre you got that,
It's the definition of "Blindside Block "
No wonder you're arguing so much, you don't even know what a blindside block is.

Definition
A blindside block is a block that's made toward the blocker's own end line or against an opponent who is vulnerable to injury.
Legal blindside blocks
A blindside block is legal if it's initiated with open hands and the contact is not forcible. For example, a block that's made like a basketball pick to free the runner is not considered forcible.
That block was made toward the blocker's own end line or against an opponent who is vulnerable to injury & was forcible contact. It satisfied the criteria and was the correct call.

Was in Franklinton last weekend for my uncles funeral. He seved for three presidents and left some petty cool heirlooms to my cousin. Thought I would share here. And now, for your viewing pleasure.
His service pistol. USP in .357 Sig
His fun gun. A vaquero in .45
Retirement gift #1
A Colt Mark IV 1911. The other side is engraved with his name. Couple of folders
Retirement gift #2. Apparently, this is his original USSS service pistol from when he was assigned to Bush Sr. Story unconfirmed. They engraved it with the USSS symbol and his name on the box.
A couple of long riffles. I forget the make and model because I was too busy practicing my quick draw with the Vaquero.

I recently installed energy efficient windows and they started burning my grass.
Had to buy special screens to correct the problem.
Unfortunately children from the OT have infiltrated this page as well and we have to tolerate the slow-minded intolerance.
Which film/ screens did you install and what are your results?

You are going to need to add anti-glare window film on your windows. This is a huge problem in Texas, where synthetic turf is becoming more popular. The reflective heat will melt the turf. Same thing happening to your lawn.
I just looked that stuff up LINK. Expensive doesn't begin to describe it ($250 for a 5'x54" sheet of film). If it works, it will be money well spent. I guess this is a situation of buy once, cry once.
I just hope I don't need to cover too many windows.

Or, hear me out, it happened later in the year therefore the Sun was rising and setting further south.
You do realize that the Equinox is only 9 days away, right?
One of you made a smartass remark and the rest parroted the unhumorous quip.
I can see how all of you misunderstood what was said.
Thank you for the opportunity to clarify my statement.

If the sun angle is changing we've got more problems than your dead grass
You do realize that the Earth is not stationary and rotates on a tilted axis and orbits the Sun in a slightly oval-shaped, or elliptical, path, don't you? Right?
You are aware that these two motions affect the Sun's changing position in the sky and the times of daily sunrises and sunsets over a year? Right?
So, during summer in the northern hemisphere, the Sun rises north of east and sets north of west. As the year progresses and the end of Summer nears, the position of the Sun rising and setting moves slightly south (see images below for reference).
I guess they don't teach that at Liberal State University.
Are My Windows Killing My Grass?

The front of my house faces ENE and receives over 5 hours of sunlight in the summer months.
I've lived in this house for close to 14 years and noticed that every summer, dead patches of grass (Bermuda) begin to appear starting at the end of July.
For years I've tried to remedy the problem by aerating, dethatching, watering, pesticide and fertilizing, but nothing worked.
This summer I noticed the sun rising slightly more south than last year and the dead grass patches appear to have shifted slightly more south. This could be completely unrelated but it got me thinking that maybe the sun is reflecting off of my windows and burning the grass.
A quick Google search confirmed that this is a thing and special film can be applied to the widows to correct it.
I want to know if any of you have any experience with this and if there is a product that you recommend to fix it.
Thanks in advance for your help.
