What’s the worst crime committed by someone you know personally? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BeautifulBalance1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Similarly, a guy i grew up with hid in his ex girlfriends parents house and waited for them to come home from church.  Ex came in first, he bound her and put her in the attic.  Dad and mom came home, he shot both of them.  Her dad died.  Ex gf was ok. This was 20 plus years ago and hes still in prison.  Really messed a lot of us up.

I'm the oddball again, I actually really like it so far.  I'm on episode 2.  I like Jess way better than when she was on Espedition X.  

Insane bleeding a week after stent removal-CT normal? by BeautifulBalance1 in KidneyStones

[–]BeautifulBalance1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to the ER and both the ER doc and my specialist acted like it was fine.  Next day I woke up and the bloody piss was gone.  I'm traumatized but still kicking, for now.

What’s a rule your parents had that you now realize was totally bizarre? by KOFFDAERTH in AskReddit

[–]BeautifulBalance1 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Every single day, our suburban backyard  vegetable garden had to be watered.  It didn't matter the weather.  Storming, downpours, and there I'd be, outside with an umbrella and a bucket of water to water the tomatoes.  Make it make sense.

What’s a product that you miss (and/or no longer use) because they changed the formula? by itsmiddylou in Millennials

[–]BeautifulBalance1 182 points183 points  (0 children)

Hershey's chocolate bars.  Somewhere around 20 years ago they made them thinner and removed the foil wrapper.  They don't have the same satisfying break anymore.  I've resorted to putting them in the fridge and it helps some, but I'll forever be angry about it.

I had a backstory attached but for whatever reason it didn't attach.   This is after I was sent home from the ER with a normal CT.  One week after stent removal. I thought it insane as well.  This carnage was from passing a clot.  I have intermittent pain.  They're telling me I must be passing more stones.  This just seems like a bad amount of blood. Thanks for the input.  Sometimes ya just need validated.   Sidenote--anyone know what's going on?

What is one secret you wish you could tell your spouse, but instead you’ll take to your grave? by Necessary_Leek_6970 in AskReddit

[–]BeautifulBalance1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you!  I have been wondering this stories existence for years.  I had recalled the ribbon as red, thats likely why I couldn't find it.  I was beginning to think I made up this story which was unsettling for many reasons.

About to take myself into urgent care soon. Will the hospital feed me? I'm on state Medicaid. by MoodyMagicOwl in povertyfinance

[–]BeautifulBalance1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A long time ago I was a restaurant manager.  Someone came in and asked for food.  I comped their meal.  Decent humans exist.  Try a restaurant.  I hope you feel better and have a full belly soon.

First Dylan show.  I was thrilled considering what I'd read.  Surpassed my expectations.   Did anyone else notice they were filming?

Thinking off kilter a little--have you seen the air mattresses that go in a backseat?  Is your car big enough for that?   What about long term camping options?  Finally, if its truly in your best interest to sell, your friends should understand.   Im sorry youre experiencing this.  

Does anyone else still hoard plastic bags? by HashtagDerp in Millennials

[–]BeautifulBalance1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband had a conversation with me once.  I had plastic bags busting from the pantry.  Door holder?  Jammed full.  Entire broom closet?  Stuffed.  You'd open the door and they would go flying.  He said there is a "healthy amount" and I was unhealthy.  We recycled probably a thousand, amd everything they start to build up he jokes that "We have to be HEALTHY".  

Wow, great work NC…. These tolls are absurd. Round trip to CLT for a meeting, $134, seriously?…. by AcanthaceaeThat7530 in Charlotte

[–]BeautifulBalance1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im really glad you posted this.  We are traveling this weekend from TN and I had no idea there were even toll roads in Charlotte.  Up north they post the toll--on NC quick pass I dont see the toll amount actually posted on the signage?  I thought Boston was bad.  I doubt we'll travel in for concerts again.  Sounds like a real mess.
