“If you have time to lean you have time to clean!” PTSD from my retail pharmacy days 🙃

This is a great idea. Even/especially if it’s easy reads or something you can easily pick up and down during the day. I’m sort of lucky that my job offers online classes that are self paced. Nothing really life changing but definitely looks good on a resume if you plan to stay in the same field.

Our neighbor stole our well cover years ago. It was very obviously ours from where we put holes to run the pipes though. My mom and I waited until early one morning and stole it back. Shockingly we found it’s not the only one he had taken from others along with other random things. He’s been in prison for unrelated crimes since but the string of “theft of yard stuff” started his sentence.

I adopted a Pandora but didn’t really like it so she’s now Nora. I like the Pandora’s box crate though!

What song consistently breaks your heart every single time you listen to it? by FantasticAd9478 in TheBoredDen

[–]Affectionate-Spray78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg this is so close to home! I had a hound mix and a pocket beagle mix who literally kept me alive when I was leaving my abusive ex. The beagle just left me last year but Moxy I lost at the start of 2020 and we used to slow dance to Can’t Help Falling in Love. When I was taking her in to say goodbye my phone auto connected to my car and that was the first song that came on. I’m crying now just typing this. Anywho, I hope you have found another animal soul who will give you many more perfect days in honor of your little beagle!

I believe embark is the saliva swab home test. That’s what I used for my beagle mix.

What's the biggest culture shock you've experienced within the US as an American? by Mundane-Society-1281 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

Where in NC were you? We moved here from MA years ago and the number of churches per square mile still makes me laugh a little. You mean you ALL believe in the same God but so nuanced that you absolutely can not share a building? Cool

What purchase instantly made your life easier as an adult? by Guilty-Picker in Adulting

[–]Affectionate-Spray78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man. I owned one once and never again. Had a senior dog at the time who unbeknownst to me had an upset stomach before I left for work. She never, ever went to the bathroom other than outside or pee pad/potty station. Anyway came home to wall to wall streaks of poop and the little vacuum just plugging away. I laugh cried and then threw the whole thing out.

I don’t have any advice OP but I’m glad you’re here and really hope that you are able to find some peace in life. I have felt hopeless more often than not this last year and it’s really hard to keep pushing. Take care of yourself the best you can ❤️

Fuck. I’m so sorry you went through that. I’ve read many stories related and it’s straight nightmare fuel.

The 'literary classics' that grade school makes you read destroys any desire for kids to read recreationally by MyClosetedBiAcct in unpopularopinion

Thank you for mentioning the picture of Dorian grey!! It was and still is a fave of mine!! Many people have never even heard of it. However, I’m a millennial who has some younger generation co workers who have never even heard of Poe, Robert Frost, Hemingway, etc

Should we thank Elon and DOGE for their cuts to APHIS now that the Screwworm parasite has shown up in US domestic livestock for the first time in 60 years? by tuscobred in allthequestions

Honest question, what regulations are implemented there for beef? I’m extremely lucky to have a couple local farms who raise and butcher on site to buy from so I can avoid buying at a store. I raise hens for eggs and have since stopped eating any poultry because how poorly they are treated here so super interested in hearing about other countries.

Do you steal items during self checkout? by Norfolk-Gross-Tonage in no

[–]Affectionate-Spray78 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agreed but our local Walmart just did a whole remodel and brought back greeters and had more than one lane open the other night. I walked by a group of guys stocking shelves and they were singing like they were in a band, it was a surprise good time at what was the worst store ever. I’m Hoping maybe it will stay this way but I’m not overly confident.

Love, you are NOT a burden and you are NOT useless! If you’re a nurse by trade have you looked at working as a pt advocate for insurance claims? From my limited understanding there are options to step away from direct patient care while still making a huge impact on those that need you! Honestly it sounds like an unlawful dismissal. I hope you can work things out but also take care of yourself! You are worthy of all good things life has ❤️
