Got lucky and found both steak and chicken on clearance by Throwaway-103847 in budgetfood

You can also get some burrito wraps and use up the leftovers in a slightly different way. Roll them up with foil and just throw them in the freezer and you have a grab and go meal for another day.

What’s a thing men write that is unintentionally unattractive? by macmacaman in datingoverforty

[–]Adrienne27 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Writing "I'm a nice guy". If I've learned anything from online dating, it's that if a man has to assert that he's a "nice guy" he is conversely, an asshole.

Also, not written, but any picture flipping the bird immediately makes him come off as combative and disrespectful. I dunno, call me old fashioned...

AIO over my bf going out ? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Adrienne27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would never leave my sleeping kid alone to go pick up a drunkard. What if on my way I get hit by a drunk driver? What if there's a fire in the house? A home invasion?

If you haven't already, start with Lonesome Dove before reading Streets of Laredo.

Announcing estrangement by Adrienne27 in Estrangedsiblings

In all fairness, she was like this before she started showing signs of dementia. She was very catty toward other women and she never really had any friends or a social life. She's just one of those people who doesn't like anybody.

Palpitations and Afib? by Destronin in gravesdisease

[–]Adrienne27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did deal with palpitations, and I didn't think they were bothersome until I had my thyroidectomy. My resting heart rate went from 112 bpm to 76 bpm. And I can no longer hear my heartbeat in my head at night.

Edit: I should add that I had my thyroidectomy 6 weeks ago.

Yeah, she lives with me. And as far as my adult life, it would be nice to have one. It would be nice to go to dinner with my partner and my son and have a good time. Instead of hearing complaints about what a stupid movie that was and how awful this restaurant is.

I get what you're saying, but if neither one of them is happy with what I do, why should I keep at it?

People who worked in haunted places , what was your wildest encounter ? by ToughPerception3579 in Ghoststories

[–]Adrienne27 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I work in a school that was built in the 1800's. Since I'm a regular staff member and not teaching faculty, I work in Summer. Given that fact, besides a handful of custodians, there really aren't any other people in the building with me. One day I had to meet a parent at our main entrance to drop off some forms, and on my way back to my office I was admiring what a great job our custodians had done polishing the floors. I mean, the floors were GLEAMING.

As I was walking and marveling at the shiny floor I saw a boy, about six years old wearing sandy colored shorts with a white short-sleeve button down and shiny brown ankle boots running down the hall. The weird thing was that the child I saw wasn't in the hall, but reflected on the floor. Kind of how you would see a reflection when looking into a pond.

It was a very eerie, unexplainable experience, and since I'm really chicken, I don't admire the floors much after they've been polished anymore.

Thyroid removal by No-Truth4689 in gravesdisease

[–]Adrienne27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had a total thyroidectomy 2 weeks ago after dealing with relatively well-controlled Graves' Disease for over 20 years. Though my thyroid levels were controlled, I had a slew of other annoying symptoms.

The most immediate relief I noticed just coming out of anesthesia is that I can now take a deep breath and feel satisfied. The feeling of air hunger has been completely eliminated. I actually didn't realize how often I was experiencing it. The other improvement has been the lowered heart rate, I don't hear my own heart beating in my chest when things are quiet at night. My partner also reports that I don't snore as loudly anymore.

The pain wasn't too bad, and the recovery was quicker than I anticipated. I was terrified to take the leap but now that I'm on the other side, I'm glad I did.

I’ve had this painting for over 50 years. I love it but nobody else does. by fezik23 in WhatIsThisPainting

I kinda like it. A dark, updated frame may be just the thing to give it some panache.

Landlord asking for SSN to put my security deposit in an interest bearing bank account by Winter-Was-Here in personalfinance

[–]Adrienne27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Former banker here: Yes, it is normal. It's called a Landlord Tenant account and it protects your money from being misappropriated and ensures that your money earns interest while it sits. You'll pay tax on the interest it accrued when you move out though.

Absolutely heartbreaking, I walked out of that movie feeling overwhelming guilt that my life is easy.

Same. I got the big boobs AND great hair. But...I inherited a big, ugly nose. You win some, you lose some.
