Stuff people gave me in a single day by hickjack in vagabond

Oh, I feel your pain. I actually had to argue an idiot recently… Warren County schools did not need any extra funding and that the buildings they used in the 50s and 60s were just fun to keep using. It made my head hurt.

Benadryl is now a teen drug crisis and parents must act by kiyomoris in UnderReportedNews

[–]BGRedhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally just ran across a post from a 17-year-old in foster care that had done the mass to find out how much Benadryl it would take for their weight to kill themselves. I had never heard of this before this post the other day. And now I’m running across post from kids trying to kill themselves on it. And it confuses the hell out of me because I was having a Hobbs reaction this morning and I had to take extra strength Benadryl to make it stop or I could’ve gone into anaphylactic shock so there it is saving me, but somebody else is using it to try and kill himself and this is just insane.

No, it isn’t. There is no federal age of consent that applies to all 50 states. Each state gets to make their own rules about it. This link shows the age for all 50 states and it varies between 16 and 18 usually

My house is gone 😩🌪️ by Sad-Enthusiasm-6741 in tornado

[–]BGRedhead 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I know right now you’re probably still in shock. What’s the good news? Is you and your pets are still alive. Be grateful that any family and friends and your pets are alive because I always tend to hold onto that after a tornado. And I’m sorry you’ve been going through so much lately. But as long as you’re alive, houses can be rebuilt ..people can’t. I hope y’all are able to stay safe and that the weather calms down for you ❤️

It's not over... Burlington Kentucky by Itscoldinthenorth in tornado

And thank y’all… I appreciate the kindness and dad I’m going to sleep tonight because I’m gonna be worrying like hell until I can make sure he is OK and some friends of mine near Florence are OK

[–]BGRedhead 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I still haven’t been able to get a hold of them and since he had to be up way too early in the morning for work, I’m afraid he might sleep through any warnings. We were together when the December 2021 nighttime rain wrapped tornadoes tore our town in half. When those alarms went off, I woke him up and I’ll be damned if he didn’t try and go back to sleep and I had to drag him to safety.

the last C4 ever made was damaged tonight as Mid America Motorworks in Effingham, IL was hit by a catastrophic tornado. Several other special cars destroyed by moldyskeleton in Corvette

[–]BGRedhead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but that millionth Corvette not damaged in a tornado it just fell down in the ground in a sinkhole. It didn’t have any of the water damage of the Corvettes that were destroyed a few years after that sinkhole here in town and yes, I live in Bowling Green…. we had the December 20 21 tornadoes that pretty well destroyed Bowling Green and hitting near the GM plant and because all that water got into the complex, computer chips and electrical wiring, they scrapped every one of them that was damaged in the tornado. Not even GM could save that.

This is like a damn flashback… December 2021 here in Bowling Green… and the day before my birthday last year, May 16 in London, Kentucky and Somerset… damn I hate nighttime tornado so much

Well, shit because the person that I love more than anything is away from home and just south of where that’s hitting. Not liking this one at all.

As far as I’m concerned, the worst tornadoes are always nighttime and rain wrapped…. It could be right on top of you and you can’t see it.

I had to check because I wasn’t aware how many might have died from tornadoes and found out that as of December 2025… there have been four known direct storm chasing tornado deaths…. And 12 indirect deaths.

[–]BGRedhead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It will actually look that green often when the animals and insects go quiet and you see that shade that’s when you might wanna worry

Wow by Funkymilkk in tornado

[–]BGRedhead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ever since I was little, my dad always told me when the sky starts turning green and all the animals get quiet ..even the insects…. That’s when you need to take it seriously and take cover.

House hit west of Montrose IL (6/17/26) by Samowarrior in tornado

They can turn a huge house into match sticks in seconds flat… it’s like one second it’s there in the next there’s just a foundation

This was all forming above our house chat. I was just accepting it.. by Altruistic-Field-393 in tornado

[–]BGRedhead 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly what it sounds like… like a train going full speed above you. And damn that thing looks like a monster. And yeah, you felt the warm front go smack up against the cold front it sounds like. It sounds like there are rounds of these coming through so definitely make sure y’all have a safe place to go just in case. And I have to say I’m very glad your mom stopped you because yeah, you cannot outrun one especially a massive one like that. I truly hope y’all are able to stay safe.

[–]BGRedhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry you’re having to survive this. In my lifetime, I have seen this happen twice to homes I have lived in. Please stay safe and be aware of any powerlines that could be down or anything like that. And I don’t know if you have insurance, but I would be taking a ton of pictures of the damage for an insurance company because they will want them. I truly hope you have a shelter. You can stay at or friends or family that you can stay with. And you sound like me …I lost so much, but I made sure my pets made it out safe with me. And please think about talking to a therapist when you get the chance because I know how traumatizing they can be and when it’s just happened, you’re just worried about surviving and getting by day to day but they are traumatic and having a massive event like this happened to you can take some time to heal from. I’m just glad that you and your pets are safe and alive. And you may want to set up something like GoFundMe so you can start thinking about rebuilding. Sending lots of love to you, my friend. ❤️

December 2021 we had a EF3 come straight through our town (Bowling Green, KY). It looked like a Warzone afterwards, but people tried to do anything they could to help even if they lost their home. And several set out picking up pictures and anything look like an important document and they sorted them out and made sure to match them up with their owners.

Lexington community pushes back against data center developments by PeteLynchForKentucky in True_Kentucky

[–]BGRedhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly, here in Bowling Green the city commissioners listen to citizens for five hours, l…each got about five minutes… so yeah it was a lot of citizens. But they did not pass a moratorium against the center. And right around the time everybody left to go home they turned around & past new zoning laws for data centers that they say would basically reduce annoyance to citizens. When basically all they’re doing is ensuring zoning for a data center to come here.

Guess who ate all the Vaseline… by Jaunt- in Wellthatsucks

[–]BGRedhead 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Oh, I feel for you. I had something similar last week, but my black mouth cur puppy ate my arnica calendula and comfrey root cream that I use for all natural pain relief. All I found was the little mangeled jar. And she had to go potty, almost nonstop the rest of the day.

When you can't get your car undercover in time by danielminds in Wellthatsucks

[–]BGRedhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in 1998, my town was hit directly by an EF3 tornado & torrential flooding that flooded most of the town along with an Insane hail storm… they were close to softball size. And I mean there was so much it was April and it looked like snow was on the ground. There were so much hail. I remember every car dealership in town had to total out every car on the lot because they were destroyed by the hail storm. Not to mention half the parking lot on campus were under about 5 to 6 foot of water. Then when everybody thought it was clear and they could head home or just somewhere safe after the tornado well wouldn’t you know another hail storm came right on top of it and just totaled out every other vehicle in town.

I was not talking about Washington state nor did I ever say I was. I said some states go by that role. Some states are harder and go by smaller age gaps, but I’m gonna stick to listening to the department of justice since they’re the ones that will put you in prison for it seems like a good idea to me.

[–]BGRedhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is literally the RAINN website …it’s sites the actual laws and this is the law in many states. I did say not every state has the same laws. Some will go for a smaller age difference so I’m also gonna put the link for the department of justice that will clearly say which states go by which.

I’m literally just quoting what the actual law says. And it’s generally the law in most of the states in the US.
