Apartment for rent columbus

To start, I'm in NY. My child has had a horrible year of KINDERGARTEN. Yes, kindergarten. First few weeks of school,my son was getting punched by one particular student, kicked, cursed at and bullied. I advocated to no end, constant calls to the principal, the nurse, attempts at communication with the teacher to no avail. Generally he'd be deemed a liar essentially, or they'd claim "the cameras didn't catch it" or no staff member witnessed it. 2 DASA forms later, both determined unfounded, a handful of meetings with staff, calls to the superintendent's office and a mass amount of confusion,poor communication - they treated my son like a head case for being triggered by these same 3-4 students that continued to harass him through out the year. I've kept him home on some occasions until they'd come up with a new plan or resolution and he'd return and we'd see what happens only to have the process repeat and continue. By the end of January, they FINALLY removed the primary instigator from his class after charging across the classroom to slap my child across the face (this happened TWICE the same exact way only a week apart from each other). By this point, ky child had some mild aggression towards said students but the school took this as a point to send my son into the psychologist's office, the social worker, principal here there every where, every day without telling me. When I found out the severity, I threw a fit. Finally got someone from superintendent's office to call me back, she heard me out and seemed to take my case seriously. She arranged a meeting immediately. She scolded all staff members present for their poor communication and made clear of what was expected. Changes were directed to be made. I felt confident that maybe they'd finally do right by my child to give the safe, positive environment and education they deserve. Things seemed to improve, my child had more positive things to say about school (as they refused to talk about it for the whole year because they never wanted to even go). About a month or so after this meeting, brings us to about a week ago, my child discloses to me they are still going to the psychologist's several times a day every day and this conversation was prompted by a very invasive phone call from this "doctor" questioning my personal life. My child said she had been probing them about personal information too. Because of the excessive nature of these "earned breaks" out of class as my child's "reward" for good behavior, I called the superintendent to inform her that the staff had not followed her direction for the new plan. She lashes out at me and is wildly inappropriate with me. At this point, I write a letter via email to the principal (who I literally speak to at least 2 times a week this ENTIRE year since noone else communicates with me or calls me back), I inform him to discontinue all intersctions, sessions, groups etc with this woman (also worth noting, no my child has no diagnoses, no BIP, no IEP, no official mental disorders or disabilities as per the pediatrician and an evaluation by a licensed therapist as per the psychologist's recommendation-which i knew was bs but to appease and do the right thing, I had it done anyway). My child comes home that day and he didn't get sent to her office, they sent HER to my child's class to sit with them???!!!? At this point, I'm livid and have lost all patience and am now deficit in trust with these people. My child goes to school the next day, as I try to figure out what to do, calling education lawyers left and right with no success.
Here's where it goes from horrible to absolutely insanely ridiculously terrifying. I notice a small bruise on my child's outer forearm. I ask about it, they tell me the teacher grabbed their arm too hard "squeezed" like this my child gripped with white knuckles and teeth gritting. I'm horrified. Livid. Can't wrap my head around it but honestly in my heart, not entirely surprised.. this sad excuse for a teacher has been dismissive, neglectful, refuses to take accountability or responsibility, passive aggressive and nasty attitude anytime she had to dare waste her time talking to me, which has been one of the largest issues this year. This woman does not tell me what's happening ever. And always addressing literally any single issue with my child. For example, my child saying "butt" was deemed inappropriate language from her on a daily sheet report and only once i called and demanded what she was referring she said such language was "butt" ... Give me a break. She sends my child out to these other staff members whenever she doesn't want to deal seemingly because of my complaints about her poor practices. NOW, once my child tells me this, we go to the precinct to get it at least reported and documented and first thing the next morning, we go to the pediatrician. She documented as well and had to hear my child's account of what happened which she also documented. I took pictures the night of, the next morning and in the doctor's office. I kept my child home, of course and the principal contacts me. I tell him what I had been told from my child, and he says he'll address the teacher about it. She blatantly denies it. My child said they said "ow" to which she said "sorry" so she acknowledged she hurt them, and never informed me. Within 24 hours of my reporting her injuring my child, CPS knocks on my door with a wild accusation against me in hand. I explain to the investigator what has transpired and showed my child's arm, she documented that and with all the information I gave her and the things she confirmed with me, it became quite obvious the school made this allegation. She acknowledged that the more info she was getting from me, the more the picture was becoming clear of what was going on. I continue to tey to contact an education lawyer but I don't know what to do. None will call me back although the one that did I absolutely can not afford $5k retainer and $500/hr. Does anyone have any advice of what I can do or any resources? I've been collecting documents and also have yet to get my child's records which they also have refused to give me. I have a formal letter written for these records now that I'm submitting Monday. I have dates of incidents roughly not all of them, I have some phone calls recorded, held on to hand written noted given by the teacher, etc. Any advice would be absolutely appreciated!! Please help me protect my child!

I am in my mid-20s, $60k in roth 401k, $11k in roth IRA, $11k in a mutual fund (VTSAX), and $23k in my savings. My take-home pay now is great; however, I am transitioning into a 6 year PhD program this fall in which I will likely be in the lowest tax bracket with no 401k, bringing home a stipend from my fellowship of ~$3k a month after deductions. Tuition is all covered. After the degree, I will be making upwards of $180k+ as a business professor, so my focus is on making it through these 6 years.
My rent + utilities will be $1,400. No kids (but hopefully within the next 10 years), just a dog with pet insurance. No debt. I have been driving a 2013 Hyundai Elantra (80k miles) that is the bane of my existence, it hasn't been able to keep up with my lifestyle and handle skiing, surfing, camping, backroads, you name it. There has been no major engine repair needed, but anything else you can name, I have either repaired it twice or I am ignoring the problem as it's not worth it to repair aesthetics on it.
Do I ride this car into the ground and risk having to buy a car without a trade-in during my grad program? It's a gamble if it would make it 6 years and I will be doing a 3k mile road trip every year around the holidays. Or do I trade it in ($6250 value quoted from dealer) and order the Subaru car of my dreams? It would be $28k after trade-in credit, tax, & fees and with a $5k gift from my parents + $10k from emptying the mutual fund + either $13k from my savings to pay cash or do a small 1-2 year loan to pay it off. I would then buy $1k-$4k worth of warranties before the 3-year window is up after the car is paid off. For the first 2 years of the car, the maintenance is free.
I need some objective help here - is this a smart decision?

I live in an apartment near Hanks & walked for 30mins last weekend without finding a good spot that wasn’t directly on a sidewalk. Would Pt Defiance work? What other areas?

I have a condo now dt, my girlfriend is still in her home country for another 6 months to a year (most likely year). I do not want to live alone and will stay with my parents until she returns. I was able to turn my life around in the past year and would like to give back to my community somehow.
I was wondering how I would find a candidate (who wouldn't destroy it) and how I could protect myself to end the agreement as soon as I have to move in, which could be whenever in 6 months to a year. I would like to be nice but it is naive to think I could not be taken advantage of. Thank you.

Hello!
Let me preface this by saying I really don't know much about wrestling as I am not a fan. However, my fiancé is a huge wrestling fan and I wanted to surprise him with tickets to his first live event. I would ask him all these questions but I want to keep it a surprise for his birthday coming up soon.
The date in question is the Columbus Dynamite Rampage show.
I am really confused about the seating. This event is at a large arena and yet it is only showing seats for 1/4 of the venue. Is this a common thing? Why not sell all the seats in the arena if you are having it in a fairly large arena in the first place?
Also about seating, is it better to be on the floor or in the raised seating? I saw somewhere that you really don't want floor seats unless you are really close to the ring.
Lastly, can we expect big ticket wrestlers to be there like MJF? My fiancé said that usually those on the promotional poster will be there but then backtracked and said they aren't always there which really confused me. I am just so used to rock concerts and knowing who exactly will be at a show each night that this just doesn't make sense to me. Is it more about the experience than who is actually on the lineup?
​
Thank you all in advance!

I rent a condo that comes with a parking space.
There’s been a car parked in my spot for 48 hours. I do not know who it is. I tried to identify them through our Facebook group, left a note on their windshield, and also checked with security. They did not move and the note was still there this morning.
Today I called parking enforcement. They ticketed the car and called a tow truck but about 20 mins later the officer said…we’ll I ran the plates and this is actually a VERY close neighbour (while looking down my hall) and said they don’t typically tow in the first instance in that case. I had been warned by someone else in my condo that this could happen because it happened to them when someone else in the building parked in their spot.
I felt pressured so I was like ok ticket them. Then the officer said they’d try to call them again and if they haven’t moved to put in another complaint (it took 8 hours for them to respond so I’m not looking forward to another day of waiting…). I also put another note on their car.
So how often can they ticket? If i put in another complaint tomorrow will they ticket again and tow? Or just tow? Or say not enough time has passed? Just trying to plan my weekend because my Friday night was ruined waiting for them to respond. I’m also annoyed because it’s an $80,000 SUV and I wanted to tow them so bad lol… def think I was a bit of a pushover.
Also just want to say the officer who responded was lovely and he just told me it was policy to not tow at first when it’s a neighbour situation.

anyone have food truck parking and kitchen space for rent around the parma area?

Most of you have no clue the shit you are in for. You want to lie and cheat at all things but you will face the judgment you deserve in due time. Don't ip hack me but I know alot of things that are to come. I literally watched the world think there smart but only feed off of answers others give them. You were guided you have gotten greedy. You think you are in control but you are not. People like me love u, we try to understand you but all it takes is some of us to set it down just for a second and you will tear each other to apart and lose yourselves. Going dark would be intriguing to see how u do at that point. There are great people who protect you. Why should they ungrateful, snobs, entitled for sacrifices we have given because we want it for you, your ignorance is tiresome and will see how u do when we shut it off have fun when u don't have the knowledge u need.

1. I have some patches of some other warm season grasses growing in my front lawn. Is my only option removing the other grass and resodding or is there a herbicide I can use that will target everything that is not St Augustine.
2. Anyone figured out a good way of removing it that doesn't involve renting a sod cutter? I want to add a new bed next to my driveway that is too narrow to use a sod cutter for. Over the years I have tried a number of techniques/tools for removing St Augustine but it's always been backbreaking work. Anyone have a technique which works for them?

Traveling to DC for the first time with kids. Not sure how well they’ll be able to hold up walking in the heat. Transportation-wise would it be a good idea to rent a car or go places with an Uber? How safe/crowded is the metro? Deciding whether or not to get a car rental

So all I want to do is live simply, within my means, and never overspend.
Me and my wife have been sharing a car I got a good deal on for about a year now, which is good given my inability (thus far) to keep a job. I got the car when I had a job, so I was approved a small loan and it came out to being a good deal of which I'm proud. I'm proud of being frugal and finding reliable transportation for my wife and I. I wish I can pay cash for vehicle, but have never had employment long enough (and simultaneously gotten paid enough) to save up a few thousand for a cheap and reliable car.
Recently I found myself a new job and they wanted me to start asap. This job requires me and my wife to travel in different directions on our commutes, at conflicting times, so this new job is requiring us to have another vehicle.
One thing to keep in mind is this job is coming right in the nic of time. Although my disabilities have kept me from keeping a job more than 6 months (burnout quits and many firings), I have never qualified for disability.
My wife works, but doesn't make enough for both of us, so this job is saving our butts from being homeless. I'm grateful for it and I hope I can keep it.
All this being said, given the fact that I don't have paystubs, my income to debt is already high, and my wife and I have bad credit (from things like medical bills going to collections because I can't keep a job)... I was forced, or felt forced, to go to a "buy here pay here" lot and bought a car valued at $5k for $10k with a 16% interest rate, (term 2 years), so I'm going to end up paying over $15k for $5k car.
It feels terrible, but I felt like I had no other choice.
Not being able to keep a job has caused me to only prioritize rent, food, and medications, so I have no savings and I've gone into collections for things like an emergency room visit, a storage unit, a cancer screening, a dentist visit, and maybe an asthma clinic visit or 2. I also definitely do not pay on my student loans, there's absolutely no way I can pay school loans given how hard it's been to make ends meet.
Anyways, despite my best intentions to be ultra frugal, I've basically plummeted myself 15k in debt and it feels terrible, especially knowing the car is barely worth $5k.
The ADHD tax is high with this one.
I really do just want to work my job without stress of losing it and live frugally so I don't have to stress about mounting debt, but I guess that's a bit of a pipe dream.
Any positive words from the sub? :)
Have a nice weekend!

I Delilah (22 F) and my dad (46 M) have never had a good relationship he has always had issues with substance abuse has been verbally and physically abusive with me and left me my sister and mom when I was six after cheating on her, she received no child support. My dad was also in and out of rehab when he did live with us he also spent some time in jail.
A year back he reached out via social media and told me that he had met the one and was getting married he wanted me to be a part of the wedding I told him I would go but I didn't want to be apart of the wedding because I felt uncomfortable considering this was the women he left my mom for and they had an on and off relation ship.
The day of the wedding I show up and it is way nicer then the wedding my mom and him had but that is not what really set me off it was mainly all of the time lines they all said that they had been dating while my mom and him were still together which wouldn't be a huge deal but it felt as though she was rubbing it in my face that he cheated on my mom but this is not when it started.
We are at the reception and she stands up to give a speech and in this speech she says quote "I'm so happy when we met you came to your senses and left that ugly wife and weird kids we make a better family then they ever did and Delilah I know your here but I wish you weren't and I pray you will soon be out of his life" I could not believe the words coming out of this women's mouth I was about to lose it right then and there but I am a very calm person so I decided that for now I would let her finish and talk to her after.
As the night goes on I decide to walk over and tell her that I am now trying to fix my relationship with my father and she should support him reconnecting with his old family. To which she replies he doesn't need his old family that's why he married me. To this I completely lost it and threw her bouquet screaming if she wants to ruin my relationship with him I will ruin theirs too. As you can imagine she hit me and we just kept going at it, it took my dad and my boyfriend to separate us. My family says I was being a bitch what do you guys think.

Hi all, just a quick preface, I'm only posting this incase someone else tries to search for this because I was at it for hours and it might save someone's life. I'm so glad we were home and it didn't happen in the middle of the night. I feel like writing it like a story so I'm gonna. Tldr at bottom.
This morning I was up early as I've been for the last few days, my cat just got spayed so I've been sleeping in little spurts with her as much as possible.
It was around 8am or so at this point after sitting with her in the living room just zoning out on my phone killing time with my cat and wife napping beside me when out of nowhere I get hit with a smell, hard.
Kinda hammy. Kinda like a ham that's just about to go bad or just turned bad. It filled the entire house. It was serious. Filled the house in a matter of minutes. I jokingly said to my cat "Are you smelly? Do your farts smell like old ham or something?" She replied "meow" as she usually does as she's quite vocal. This discussion woke my wife who I asked, "Do you smell some old ham or something?"
Before she can even open her eyes the smell intensifies. It's now so strong it's making me feel a bit nauseous."Yeah what is that" she says popping up pretty quickly looking puzzled or disgusted. "It literally just came out of nowhere and it's getting waaay worse by, like, the minute." I responded.
So we open the door and screen door window quickly, place a fan in front of it. By this point it's making me feel worse, my mouths watering a slight amount like I'm going to vomit if it gets much worse.
We are both running around the house trying to figure out where the hell this smell is coming from. She mentions it has a slight paint thinner-esque smell to it but I didn't really smell anything but overwhelming old ham.
We had our HVAC system checked out a few weeks ago and found out it was leaking coolant and after googling weird smells in the house with no results about ham she found the coolant can smell like paint thinner among other things however ham was not on the list so I call the guy who did the HVAC work anyway just to see what he thought.
He basically said it should be odorless and would stop by anyway Monday as he was visiting family and took the day and weekend to do so. So we start googling like crazy. Not finding anything but click bait articles about the usual bad house smells, you know dead animals in the vents, gas leaks, sewage fumes, fishy-smelling electrical fires and the usual stuff. I tried every key word I could think of to get different results.
Dead animals don't bother me, my stomachs pretty strong when it comes to that, didn't smell fishy, if it was sewage I figured I'd be blowing chunks as I'm pretty sensitive to the smell because of something gross that happened to me when I was young and it just didn't smell like sewage. We don't have gas so it wasn't that.
At this point I have no idea and I feel pretty awful so I decide to step out back and me and the wife basically both had the same idea at the same time to call the non-emergency fire department to as she's feeling weird too. They come out and have a gas and co2 meter thing that I'm sure checks for other stuff too with nothing showing up. They smell it too and I ask since they just got here if they smell it from the vent when I turn the AC on. Figured maybe a fresh nose in the place would be able to point it out if it did.
Nope the place smells less hammy to me almost as soon as the vents start to push air. They look around a bit more and have no idea what it could be or where it's coming from. At this point I'm stumped, they leave and it's back to Google. Finding almost nothing even close to what I have going on I decide to go underneath the house ( it's a trailer or mobile home ) and make sure nothing died under there or if I can even smell anything under there at all.
There was a couple cat poops from before we sealed up the side right I assume but no smell, nothing. At this point I'm clueless and not sure what to do or who to call but the smell is coming and going in waves now. Super strong to almost gone every 20 minutes or so except for one little spot in the kitchen it seemed to persist a bit. I'm checking everything I can at this point and it's just about 4pm.
I call the sewage company, maintenence comes to check the line and whatever. He comes in to see if he smells it and thinks it's sewage and after a bit he's not too sure. He recommends getting someone to check my air vents for something dead or left behind like a rodent or his meal and also to pour some water down the drains we haven't been using to make sure the traps are full and keeping sewage smell and fumes out just to be safe. I gladly take any advice I hear and have read so far and he leaves.
I start calling HVAC companies who are telling me they don't do dead animal removal in vents, and to call a pest removal company. What? Okay. So I call a pest company who tells me to call an HVAC company... who tells me to call pest control... who tells me to call animal control.. who tells me to call an HVAC company. I am still not sure who to call if you can't get into the vents easily and need them checked but it seems to be a different branch or kind of animal control but they're not answering.
I basically rip apart the kitchen, moving furniture, checking all the cupboards, the fridge, the dry food and anything I see. What about the water i left in the instant pot? No. Nothing. Anywhere. Just hammyness. The vents? Sure smells like fresh air.
I'm getting no where. It's almost 5:30 at this point, everything is closing or closed besides 24 hour places who are going to charge me an arm or two tonight and I have no clue about the weekend. I sadly sit down on the couch after I mess with the thermostat just trying to see if I can make it any better.
My wife steps outside because this wave is smacking her hard. At this point I had smelled a slightly chemical smell mixed in with the harsh hammyness a couple times but I don't recognize it at all. I'm thinking of dropping out the air duct myself, moving the fridge to check behind it. Everything. I get up to join her outside and that's when it happens.
ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzZzzZZZAP POP. It comes from the kitchen and instantly I know what it is. I look at my wife and say "of course, ham!" She's confused and asks "Ham? What was that noise" as I'm running toward the kitchen.
It was the vent light on the oven hood. You know the thing with a vent that probably has bacon grease and other food oils up in there. There's smoke and it smells HAMMY. I run to the breaker box and kill the power and we grab fire extinguishers. Luckily no fire. But we almost left the house to go to my mom's or a hotel until we could get it looked at several times but something kept telling me not to leave. And I'm really glad we didn't.
TL;DR house started to smell like almost bad ham and paint thinner or some kind of chemicals possibly sewage in a matter of minutes, turns out range hood was trying to start an electrical fire.
Moral of the story is if you smell slightly bad food and chemicals, flip the breaker and see if it goes away. Might just be about to have a serious problem.

Background info: We're progressing well on a house, est. to close on 7/3.
I want to put 5% down on the $245k house shown (Midwest MCOL), to get the monthly payment at a comfortable level (below $2k), but that also drags our most liquid form of savings down to a questionable amount. We have other near- liquid assets we could leverage in emergencies, but ofc would like to avoid that. With our monthly payment, we'd still be looking at putting $1000-1500 back in savings per month (probably not counting the first month or two - assuming it will all be spent on moving and buying things) and I'll be getting a $3k bonus next month.
We have a very full 2bdrm/1 bath apartment, going into a 3 bdrm/1.5 bath house.
We know we need a fridge, washer, and dryer - so budgeting around $3k there. All the other appliances are good and new, so - makes sense to round out the set and get the remaining needs new, too.
We're being given a lawn mower and are supposed to make a list of other smaller things our parents can help get for us or give us from hand-me-downs or dupes.
My ask: Please please help me think of a list of other lawn care, basic maintenance (we have a solid full toolbox), and must-haves I'll need the first month to help me figure out what I should plan to ask for from family vs. buy on our own! That'll help me nail down the down payment percentage and budget out the rest.
Thank you!

Hello I am about to sign a lease for an apartment but in order to move in ,I need to get the electric setup done .The electricity in that area is provided by Tri County electric and in order to apply ,they want me to submit a drivers license . I am quite puzzled as how people without drivers license would do this and get to stay .I am an international in United states and I do have my Indian passport and ssn here .How do I navigate this situation?

What’s going on evo fam, so recently I started to take my evo apart to replace some seals and replace my clutch, I would like to first point out I did watch many videos on how to release the throw out bearing and did release it. (Or so I thought) so after I thought I released the throw out bearing I started taking apart the housing bolts and doing the usual of pulling the transmission out. After getting all bolts out and managed to move it about a inch and then it just stops and gets stuck on something. So after long around seeing if anything in the way or something I went down to the inspection hole where I thought I disengaged the throw out bearing and I look in and it looks like it’s fully engaged. I can not for the life of me figure this out, if anyone has any solutions pls let me know!

my first and only friend from year 7 - leaving high school was secretly apart of the group of bullies who bullied me since kinder garden - now, and i had no idea
he’s stolen my girls, constantly trying to take my real life friends and he’s even stolen my hustles + carrier path, literal every single hobby, he does EVERYTHING i do, but better. i come from a very broken family and he’s rich with a lot of support, i am white and taller (he’s short and Italian) so i know secretly he has little man syndrome an tries to be better, after ten+ years i want to fight him now. he’s going to engage to my ex gf whilst also befriending all my old bullies who picked on me growing up and broke my things.
i’m now bigger than all of them but i still feel weak and want to fight. he’s truely mentally exhausted me, my old best friend was one of ‘them’ and i didn’t know it. i also got bashed 3 years ago and he hasn’t checked up
should i call him a bitch and end this relationship on my own terms ?👊🏻 or play the game too ? i did recently diss his dead cousin after he stole my girl and posted a pic with me and her on his fb profile pic he let it sit there for years, i then posted a pic with my cousin to say fuck you, cause he necked himself and i want to as well due to the situations he has put me in, what the fuck do i do, it’s just sneak diss fuckery as this point, like i said should i just provoke and fight him and end this shit so it cant be repaired?
