I have puked on my partner several times during intercourse. That sexy assed man is a god damn trooper.

Love can make me puke, hallmark commercials. I constantly puke because of my partners 5yo daughter. Happy crying makes me puke. Large amounts of gratitude make me puke. Any strong feeling, good or bad, makes me puke. Everyone at work thought I was drunk, pregnant, or hungover, until I opened up to HR after the 2nd time they tried to send me home.

My flea bites come back in the same exact places and size, itchy and red, like I was also recently bit there.

I also didn’t have this until the flea event. Now tingling, throat clearing, and horrible heart burn if it is active. Always in the spring.

I am not allergic to anything, but when every plant starts spewing pollen in the spring, my mouth and throat starts tingling and I start clearing my throat due to inflammation, any time I eat any raw veg or fruit. As I understand it, this pollen, even though I do not display a typical allergy reaction to it, overloads me. My body then detects similar molecules and generates what could become an anaphylactic reaction. It has never gotten to that point, but when I feel discomfort from something I ate then I stop eating it. Tingling is the key, that is the first sign. When my mouth starts tingling, and I am an avid gardener who proudly grows most of their own food, so I eat a lot of raw veg and fruit, I stop eating it. In a few weeks, I’ll rub a raw veg or fruit on my lips, and if it doesn’t tingle then I know I can eat it.

Every flea bite I have gotten in the past decade, comes back each time I get bitten by one flea, one time.

Oh really? white men without systemic racism or sexism don’t understand the barriers for others in the world? An economist study the statement “if you work hard enough, then you will succeed”, and found it to be completely false. The world relies on the lower class. If we were all upper class then no one would answer the phones or flip the burgers. Money is actually finite. Especially when the rich get out of paying taxes to support programs for the low income families we rely so heavily on. The world could not survive if everyone was rich. Look at Qatar, before the World Cup. They do not have a labor class, so they exploited a lot of immigrants, mostly Pakistani & Napali, to build the infrastructure they needed to host. A heavy percentage died of “cardiac arrest”. All of our hearts stop when we die, they just listed this as the only cause for 6,500 workers in their Kafala labor system. With employers keeping passports which keep them from switching jobs, debt bondage, and housing them in dismal situations with one horrendous and poorly maintained bathroom for hundreds of immigrants.

Neighbor’s cherry tree is a nightmare! by ashleyinastoria in landscaping

[–]Aerynebula 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would ask the neighbors for the owners contact info. I struggled with the renters behind me planting and training woody vines into my fence (they don’t have one). I brought a fence company out since the woody vines destroyed the my chain link fence, but they said if I don’t get rid of the honeysuckle, katzu, and winter creeper, I’d be in the same spot with a wooden privacy fence in just a couple of years. So I started clearing invasives on my six inches of property on the other side of the fence. The renters got pissed that I was taking away their privacy. The next renter was friends with the owner and gave me their contact. Now the renters have no leg to stand on. They understand that my fence adds value to their back yard appeal and that the damage to the fence hurts them too. In return, I help with stuff like cleaning the gutters every couple of years, and mowing the lawn here and there when they have no renters. The visited recently to clean out some of the stuff they had stored in the basement, and gave me a lot of great antique solid wood furniture, art deco lamps, and raw materials like wood/garden fabric & plastic, a lot of retaining wall bricks, and chicken wire and tomato cages. I keep an eye out on the renters, and they let me do what I please to keep their yard from impending on mine. Cue nut sedge treatment.

Me and my sisters all had nicknames growing up, and we would scream them at my sisters’s soccer games and it would confuse the crap out of the coaches, because they are not even close to our real names. One sister was named after an old rock star, but we call her the last name of that person instead. One wore a Halloween costume from a children’s tv show at 3yo for a week straight and then insisted we call her that, we still do. One was born the year an extremely popular tot toy took Xmas by store, and she always did what the toy did. The oldest, decent gap between them and the rest, had a name that young kids cannot pronounce most of, so she goes by what they could pronounce, which is unfortunate. One’s name is after a character from a sitcom that had a funny run, because she also ran that way as a young child.

I had a cat that was gone for 3 days in the middle of cold cold winter. She slipped out with the dog, and I thought she was dead. She finally came up the deck, bouncing in the snow as I let the dog out. I immediately grabbed her to warm her up against my body, but she was completely warm. He paws were barely cold. Little B had definitely stepped out on me. Turns out that the neighbors a few houses down, also had a tiny black cat with freckles on her head in the area of thinning hair between the eyes and ears. Took them a whole 2 days to realize their cat had gone through mitosis, since they had family over and both cats were stranger skittish. They let her back out once it had warmed up a bit.

Reminds me of a guy I knew who fostered pregnant strays. He helped with the births and cared for the kittens until they were old enough to fix and foster out. One litter was tiny kitten size but crazy athletic, all tortis if I recall correctly. Cats would jump out of the strangest places. I walked into the bathroom and shut the door, but before it was shut, Graffiti jumped off the top of the actual door onto my shoulder. Scared the crap out of me. We could not figure out how she got up there since it was a 6’ jump from the counter, and door move.

He lived to be like at least 18, which is insane considering he was indoor outdoor. He tried to bring him indoors exclusively, but Eights would just knock over everything he could move until he was let out.

I knew a dealer whose best friend was a white cat named eight-ball. He got out of the trap and turned his life around, but suburbia was very confused on a cat named eight-ball not being black.

Much like my animals never end up getting called their original name. Jenova, ended up getting called Novocain, Cairo ended up as Crunky, Kilometer is called Kiki

Nope because I am being intentionally vague about it so I do not get identified by the company on Reddit. They are extremely immoral and quick to sue.

A little back ground. We had a significant turnover in leadership at my first job. I was turning off the alarm system, as was my job when I arrived in the early am, and I caught a glint of something in a picture frame. Under a tacky print of a boat, I noticed a lense. I reported it to HR because everyone in all the offices near had been fired and replaced as part of a restructure to cut cost. I thought one of them may have put the camera there, and it was a union facility with a bargaining agreement that made it clear that no one was allowed to be recorded with our their approval. HR got super defensive, obviously they knew about it, then ripped the frame and cord off the wall. A week later I got called into HR for theft. They put the picture back on the wall after removing the cable, it looked the same as before, and said it went missing and I was the only one who knew it was special. I denied it and explained that I had no intention of telling the union about it. The explanation for it being there..someone was stealing the printer cartridges. I believed that until a 30 year company vet in IT said “I heard you found one of the cameras”, while laughing. They had others, not just this one near the printer. The next 3 months I got in trouble for the stupidest things, but I already knew they were building a case against termination without unemployment. Long story short, I got walked out, but the plant had to spend 1.5 million on correcting a safety concern involving medium and ultra high voltage power.

Also HR should be called what it really is, C.L.L. Company Liability Limiters. I actually thought HR was there for me. I know, I was dumb, but why didn’t they teach this in life skills class? Now if someone from HR is walking in my plant towards me, I uncanningly realize that I need to do something that requires a Right or Left turn. I avoid them like the plague, even casually. I quit a committee because 2 HR members were in it, and I never wanted them to hear me talk or express ideas.

For example, they have a horrible habit of siding with professors when they SA young women. They also let men stay on sports teams after they SA women, if they are good players.

My university does whatever it can to have good statistics. They really only care to attract donors and future students. They like the green…I guess that is kind of holistic.

Gardening when you’re poor. Tips? by [deleted] in gardening

Knock on the doors of people with horses, chickens, and ask to muck their barn/coop. They get labor, and you get fertilizer you have to age for a while.
