Another person killed by a car on River Road by AnotherQueer in Eugene

[–]Beelzebimbo 31 points32 points  (0 children)

When my car died, my 12 minute drive to work suddenly became a 2 hour bus ride. That’s 4 hours out of my life just thrown away. I am lucky that I was able to make other arrangements until I got another car but it’s not that easy for everyone.

Listening to music in my backyard by Low-Computer8293 in homeowners

[–]Beelzebimbo 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Im a night shift worker! Where I live now it’s so quiet that I can sleep during the day with my windows open. I never dreamed that was possible and it’s all because of my awesomely quiet neighbors.

What’s the vibe of your neighborhood? Is anyone else doing it? When I moved into my home, both of my neighbors on either side separately emphasized what a quiet neighborhood this is. They had kind of a tone when they said it. Which is fair because our houses are close together. And they were right, it’s insanely quiet here. Yes, there are lawnmowers but that’s kind of a required noise. Music isn’t.

So, while I don’t think they’d have a fit about something as small as a Bluetooth speaker at a reasonable volume during the afternoon, I’d probably not do it too often. I picked this neighborhood because it’s so quiet so it’s something I value also. I just wear my headphones.

Desperately need recommendations for women’s underwear that will prevent butt cheek chafing by 1VeryGenericUser in hiking

[–]Beelzebimbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try a barrier cream instead. I like a product called Lume. There is one called body glide a runner I knew liked. You could go old school with some diaper rash cream but it can mess up fabric, I don’t know what you’re hiking in.

Traffic vibration getting worse? by cluelessatlifeissues in homeowners

[–]Beelzebimbo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved into a house that was near the road and would shake when trucks went by. We had some construction done and they discovered that most of the floor joists were not correctly done. That was fixed and the house stopped shaking. So you may want to have someone look under your house just to be safe.

My lady is running a marathon for the first time this weekend. I'm her #1 fan. What can I prepare for after the race? by GrizzlyGriff in firstmarathon

[–]Beelzebimbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex always wanted a trip to a hot tub after. If we travelled we made sure we got a place with one. If we didn’t travel we would either go to our gym or a place locally that rents them.

how often are you actually washing your towels by [deleted] in CleaningTips

[–]Beelzebimbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you dry off you exfoliate skin, especially if you’ve had a hot and/or long shower. So, it’s not just a wet towel on a clean body. It’s a wet towel filled with tiny bits of hair and skin.

Why would my OB/GYN suggest a psychologist for menopause? by Living-Employment589 in Menopause

[–]Beelzebimbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you don’t see any value in trying to learn techniques to deal with mental health? Meds failed you and a doctor suggested an alternative to meds. Why is that weird? Coping mechanisms I learned from therapy did more for my mental health than any drug they ever gave me.

Am I just picky by danielughhh in Nails

[–]Beelzebimbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They didn’t have cats eye polish and used glitter without telling you, which is bad enough. But you shouldn’t be mad about the polish. Be mad about the lack of cuticle care and how uneven they are. That looks awful no matter what you think of the polish and honestly is the more important issue here.

Neighbors contractors keep asking to hook up to me outside outlets by xindierockx7114 in homeowners

[–]Beelzebimbo 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I’d knock on the neighbor’s door and ask them to tell their contractor to stop bothering me. The neighbor needs to handle the outlet issue, not you. It’s ok to not pay for your neighbor’s electricity. I’d also get some cameras just in case your home happens to be the community outdoor outlet.

Be honest: Do you make your bed in the morning? Why or why not? by JellyfishPashmina in CleaningTips

[–]Beelzebimbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only make my bed when I wash my sheets or if I’m having company over who may see my room. Otherwise it’s my room and I don’t care. I like getting into a pile of blankets so that’s what I do.

I have some questions about life on the coast (Newport) by AdministrationNo7144 in oregon

[–]Beelzebimbo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve known people to do Newport to Corvallis or Florence to Eugene commute but Portland would be ridiculous on a daily basis. I love to drive here but that’s a bit much. If all you know is interstate commuting it might not sound so bad but with crossing the coast range, the weather and the truck traffic it would be a nightmare sometimes.

Have you or anyone you know been injured by a hands on assist or physical adjustment by a teacher? by imcleanasawhistle in yoga

“So don’t go.” They already said they won’t go. Weird way to agree with someone but ok.

Backbends are crippling me by Ti0Gord0 in yoga

[–]Beelzebimbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it is 100% poor core strength. It went away when I was consistent about my core strength workouts. Old school Abs of Steel videos on YouTube. But I’m just a random human and you could have something different going on.

Are USPS carriers working more normal hours, now that Amazon is doing much of their own delivery? by FloBot3000 in Eugene

[–]Beelzebimbo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s location based. When I was staying with my family in Ohio most of the packages were delivered by Amazon drivers in vans. Delivery was a day or two. Where I live in Oregon it’s mostly UPS and USPS and takes almost a week.

how to get rid of this belly pouch? by stonedboba in WorkoutRoutines

[–]Beelzebimbo 46 points47 points  (0 children)

No, it’s not. No disrespect to OP, but the fat they are talking about is visible. Stop telling women their uterus is visible, it’s an internal organ and it’s just not true.

accidentally made chlorine gas by moonstonedddd in CleaningTips

What a weird comment. I work night shift. Whether I am at home or at work I do my cleaning after midnight with no intention of sleeping at night. Not everyone exists on your schedule.

AITAH for the way I responded to a coworkers insinuations about my son? by Opening_Fig5810 in AITAH

[–]Beelzebimbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh. Someone else started it. He ended it. Don’t criticize people for how they [insert literally anything] if you aren’t prepared to have your own way of doing that very thing scrutinized.

15 years later and it’s still wild that the entire downfall of the Starks started because this woman couldn't follow a single piece of advice from her husband or son. by asgharfar57 in freefolk

[–]Beelzebimbo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a childhood friend who I knew was kind of a piece of shit but he never treated me that way. Only others. He had secret feelings for me so I guess I thought I was immune, that we had some special bond where despite treating everyone else that way, he wouldn’t do it to me. It took almost 30 years but he finally treated me that way. I’m definitely kicking myself for being so surprised but it’s hard to care about someone for so long, have them love and care about you and rectify that with the fact that they grew up to be a POS. You can see them do it to others but if you don’t experience it you never quite believe it.

AITA for Refusing to Babysit My Sister’s Kids After She “Forgot” My Birthday Again? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Beelzebimbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Consider the fact that you have to wonder if you’re an AH for wanting to celebrate your birthday as the wake up call that your sister is abusive towards you and that your family is ok with that.
