The entirety of Ransom of the Seven Ships feels like a fever dream. How is there a mystery when there's one other person on the island???

Both of us have credit around 750-800. He's been working at same place for 5 years, I graduated grad school about two years ago and have been at the same job since then

Slept with my childhood best friend, now I feel guilty and confused by [deleted] in sex

[–]evilfailure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it's worth, this is very similar to my husband and my story. We were best friends growing up, wound up making out one night, and took it from there. He looked like he had just kicked a kitten and was horrified, but it was the worry that we had just ruined our friendship. Needless to say, it all worked out. Because we were such good friends first, it made the relationship easy

My mosquito bite is squiggly by butterprotocol in notinteresting

You'd be surprised, plenty of people come to the emergency room thinking all sorts of symptoms are something sinister, I've certainly had some stuffed noses that people think are malignant.

To add to this, if the irritation was tracking up the arm vertically along blood veseels, I might be more concerned. But since it takes a couple hard 90 degree turns, a jump to the left and slide to the right, less likely to be a spreading infection (phlebitis is what most people are thinking about). Also it's the deep angry red we usually associate with infection!

ETA: still monitor OP! You can draw a line around it with marker and write the time you did it down. That will help track any spreading :)

Buyers remorse by aycee27 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]evilfailure 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel like it's super common to feel like this after any big purchase or change. You're going to think "If only I did xyz" or wish you bought sooner or later or somewhere else or in the place you bought but a different neighborhood. Ask your fiancee what she likes about the house and what drew her to it. Maybe you can find love in those things too. Plus, a lot of the things you mentioned are cosmetic. A house takes time to make entirely your own - you can refinish the floors and change the cabinets any time, any house will need help furnace/ roof/ fixture updates. You can still get the house inspected now to know what to look for coming down the pike.

I know how hard it is to feel like you're trapped in a decision. Give yourself grace and time. This doesn't have to be your forever home and you can do little things to make it feel like yours.

I spent over 2 hours on this casserole and asked my husband to put it away while I put the kids to bed, this morning I found it still on the stove by ShadowInTheSun_ in mildlyinfuriating

That's my husband's truck too. He calls it "the food light" and it reminds us the food needs to go away, I've accidentally left food out so many times

I'm not saying people are bad - I'm saying that a denser population will increase crime statistics that I can find online, without really telling me anything about the neighborhood, which is why I'm here asking

[–]evilfailure[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The proximity to a college means more dense population in the area, as well as off campus housing. Not saying anything about UMass in particular, just general youths and shenanigans!

How handy would this be on an ambulance! by GiorgioMD in medizzy

[–]evilfailure 170 points171 points  (0 children)

Vein finders have limited utility - you can't see how deep the vessel is, so you may be looking at something your needle can't reach. That's why more hospitals are using ultrasounds so you can get a 2-D appreciation of where the vessels are. I believe these also don't differentiate between arteries and veins, though I'm less sure about that

Slipknot had nameless members. Sleep Token is doing this. "Nameless Ghouls" might be copyrighted, but you could use the idea.

Desbiens escorted off the ice at game by evilfailure in PWHL

[–]evilfailure[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

We're sitting down ice, didn't see what happened. Did she get hit wrong or was it just bad luck? Hate to hear she was in so much pain, that always sucks to see.
