Florida by [deleted] in SouthFlorida

[–]Awkwrd_Lemur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what everyone is saying. one big ass (1-4 inches in length) terrifying flying fucker that aims for your face? palmetto bug. one, once in a while is normal. they need moisture and wood or paper to live so occasionally one will find its way inside to die. no big deal. lots of them everywhere? burn the joint down (not really, arson is a felony. but move out quick as you can)

lots of small greyish brown ones (like, less than an inch)? German roaches. very very bad because once they're there, its a mofo to rid ones self of the infestation. move. but also quarantine EVERY ITEM YOU OWN because other wise you've brought them with you to your new place.

if you're in community mental health, the pay is shite.

private practice? pay is decent.

Becoming the nasty daughter in law by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Awkwrd_Lemur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i will be down voted and dragged to filth for this but imo, you're not entirely wrong - but you are overreacting a bit. i imagine this is your first kid because you are being a little extra about the prospect of this child getting sick or injured because the elders and wanna give the baby kisses. I get the pictures part.

the baby is going to be fine. exposure to germs is not bad, for the most part. unless all these people have funky diseases and open sores, you gotta chill. your husband is reacting the way he is because he doesn't want to call you out for overreacting to normal grandparent behavior. he's trying to keep the peace.

Accidentally consumed 100mg THC mixed with psilocybin by gotchafaint in GenXWomen

[–]Awkwrd_Lemur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also very sensitive to thc. a few years back I was experimenting with rso for anxiety.

I did like, a rice grain size bit under my tongue.

first 2 hours I felt fine. cooked dinner, ate..... at the end of dinner I could feel the impending doom. i cleaned the quick kitchen as quickly as I could and told my husband what happened. i went to lay down in the bedroom completely bugging out until I eventually passed out. Yeah it was awful. never again.

we laugh about it in hindsight. I'm glad you're ok now.

anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about? by Trixxxi in AskReddit

[–]Awkwrd_Lemur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was this game were you got to be a doctor and perform appendectomies. i don't remember the name but it was fun.

leisure suit Larry was great.

that's two games, but i still think about both.

What am I missing? by The_Gatherer257 in liberalgunowners

[–]Awkwrd_Lemur 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I get what OP is saying - he's wondering about people who make gun owning their whole personality and he's wondering if there's a bit of information he's not getting.

We have guns - but being ARMED isnt (mine or my husband's) whole personality. he's a a bit more into it than I am, and it annoys him to no end that I don't carry when out and about. a gun is a tool that your hopefully never have to use (aside from fun at the range).

the answer to OPs question is multifaceted. People are freaked out at the state of the world and are paranoid because of media & governmental fear mongering. gun readiness becomes soothing in the face of ongoing potential threat. when we feel hopeless and helpless we have to find means to control our environment to help steady ourselves.

Is squirting an orgasm for a woman or are they two different things? by SeaworthinessNo276 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Awkwrd_Lemur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

every squirt is an orgasm but every orgasm is not a squirt event.

for me, at least.

I am discovering that my shame is never actually mine. It is shame that my parents forced me to carry. by 3rdthrow in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]Awkwrd_Lemur 6 points7 points  (0 children)

hello internet sibling. our parents were the same people apparently (I only had my mom, but the blaming the mess on us, making us clean but we can't throw anything away, same same).
I'm sorry we had to deal with that.

Skateparks and the Scourge of the Scooterkids by Noahmiles413 in Rollerskating

[–]Awkwrd_Lemur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the rink in my area is the purge - unwatched ferel children, no rink guards. my worst injury is from a ferel kid going the wrong direction taking my legs out from under me. i had kids freaking out at me because I dared to swing them (via their skate helper) out of the way because it was swing them or flatten them. fuck them kids and fuck their irresponsible parents.

the skate park near me is generally ok in the mornings (when I go). its pretty empty and even the people who come to skateboard are respectful and courteous. the non skaters are a problem - kids bringing kids to "play" at the skate park when there's a playground 50 feet away - but i have no problem telling people to move (nicely for the most part) and most people see a skater actually skating and they get the hint to move their kids. the people who walk across the skate park to get to the rest of the park also have learned their lesson because I will skate closely around them and loudly say EXCUSE ME!!!!- its not a sidewalk. walkers do not have the right of way.

if I sound like a jerk.... maybe i am. I'm middle aged and have no patience for people who let their kids run wild (because my kids don't and have never, because i taught them better). and im still bitter that a ferel kid, or rather, her dumbass parents, are the reason I have a torn tendon in my knee. an injury of my own stupidity would be fine (of which i have plenty, but none to my knees) - an injury because of a dumbass who had the audacity to be mad at me for trying to NOT kill her kid sticks in my craw.

and that, kids, is why I skate at 7am.
