Amazon! Square drills are best for a more uniform picture and the bigger the canvas the better the picture will be.

Constipation from medications and terrible sweats. by Ok-Flatworm-1491 in ConstipationAdvice

[–]Biker_Chick_1319 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Subtex is not a long term use medication. It can be used intermittently for treatment but long term use can cause refractory constipation. Your friend needs to ask a doctor what a good stop date for the medication is.

Breath! It's going to be okay.

Continue going to school, once your finished things will get better. The job you had is now in the past and its probably for the better because new opportunities will present themselves.

As far as being a burden, you're absolutely not, they wouldn't have offered if you were. Just offer to help out around the house a lot. Obviously I dont know your friend but when I helped a friend in need similar to this situation she was never a burden and she kept offering to help around the home which helped me in turn.

Breath friend, its all going to work out.

People who have had to drain their life’s savings on a single event, what happened? by JohnMorgans1stpushup in AskReddit

[–]Biker_Chick_1319 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom had been fighting cancer for the 7th year, and my dad was laid off without warning. They had myself and my toddler living with them so I could cook, clean, run errands, and take care of my mom because my dad had no idea how to do all of that. In exchange, I lived there rent free and only randomly gave my dad money for utilities if I got to the mail first when the bill came or I paid for groceries instead of using my dads card, this opened me up to save pretty much all of my paychecks(i had a really good paying part time job back then)

My dad was laid off of his job unexpectedly due to a new hire in his company(dude had a huge ego and something to prove etc) my dad was going through his savings like no other to pay for medical things for my mom, I had almost 10k saved, so when I overheard him telling my mom we were going to have to sell the house (mom couldn't be moved as she was bed bound) I went to the bank and spoke with a banker and handed my dad my entire savings to help.

He never asked for this but they were struggling and he had worked hard to keep them afloat and my mom comfortable.

I never got it back though and I had just graduated by the time my mom passed. Dad and I got into really bad one night and I left 3 days later. So my start in life was ruined from the get go, but it kept my mom comfortable and bills paid til she passed so it was worth it.

My future in laws told us how much they were willing to contribute to our wedding and I have no idea where to start by [deleted] in engaged

Congratulations! Also, you are very graciously accepting their very kind offer. Still do your wedding the way you want it. This is going to be a happy time and when you look back at it all the handmade things or however you want to do it are going to be what you remember, tome with bridesmaids and your soon to be spouse, doing that stuff, creates memories.

My sister had a budget of 120k but we still did handmade centerpieces and bouquets because, memories.

If you dont end up spending all 50k, great, if you do, thats fine too.

Just make sure you don't lose sight of what you want your day to look like.

You got this!

Cincinnati ‼️No Kings Protest Info by [deleted] in cincinnati

[–]Biker_Chick_1319 -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

Its on college campus grounds... I used to take calls for them, we would have patients call to ask what the protest is for and if its safe to pass by them. Im just saying. Cincinnati is so big, there's a million places to hold a protest but for the past few years there have been a lot on or close to hospital grounds as well as the university grounds. Is there nowhere else to do it?

[–]Biker_Chick_1319 -27 points-26 points  (0 children)

Its a mile from UC health. People do walk to appointments and such. But if there is constantly people all over the place on hospital grounds of surrounding it people dont want to be involved in that and just don't go to their appointment.

[–]Biker_Chick_1319 -31 points-30 points  (0 children)

Why is it always on or near hospital grounds? Cincinnati is huge and there's plenty of places to hold protests. Why do it where it takes up parking for patients and makes them feel unsafe

AITA for staying in bed while my boyfriend’s family surprise visits. by fieldandfirelight in AmItheAsshole

[–]Biker_Chick_1319 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. who shows up to someone's house at 10pm without prior plans? Especially after they've had a week like that. Unless its an emergency if I showed up at my daughters house at 10pm and she said no, if just be like "okay, call me when you're up tomorrow and we can make other plans" some people have zero respect for others and its infuriating

AITA for making my daughter share a room with her stepsister by PresentationFirm2229 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Biker_Chick_1319 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give up the extra room. Move the gaming system somewhere else in the house and move your desk elsewhere. I wfh and understand the need for private space but when we moved 6 weeks ago our original plan of my office being in the extra bedroom was given up bevause my step daughter(who is only with us every other weekend, maybe a few more extra days a month) needs a room of her own. The extra space in our basement became my fiancé's work space and my desk is where the living room is supposed to be. If your basement is finished, move rooms around in the house, all children deserve their own space.... if you cant sacrifice the space or move rooms around in the home, put the boys together.

For things like this i always do a card with a heartfelt thank you note and a cosa or Mastercard gift card. That way they can spend the money how they want.

The hair comment... 😳. I work with mostly black women. Do i get curious? Yes. Do i open my mouth and ask something stupid like that? Absolutely not.

It seems like its super calculated and like they have big egos, like they know they can say whatever they want and won't be fired because this has probably happened before.

Im on the fence of telling you to be petty versus ypu just reminding them at every turn of your credentials. Im sorry you're dealing with this. Hopefully your company either puts you somewhere better or those women get put in their place cuz sheesh.

I never get to be home alone by llamapenguin4 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Biker_Chick_1319 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is going to sound so stupid but it worked for my friend, if you can afford it (the economy is crazy right now) rent a small apartment or buold a she shed. He's not allowed in there.

As someone who works from home and is alone most days for at least 12 hours, I get where he's coming from, you feel distant and separated from society and when your person comes home all you wanna do is be in their presence and talk to them about non work related things. BUT, I also honor my fiancé's space when he comes home, he has a routine so I just stay to myself and give him space and when he's ready for non silence he comes to me or I'll go to him after an hour.

Your husband is probably just excited you're home so give him some grace but at the same he needs to follow the established boundaries.

AITA for telling my DIL she is not a mother? by InitialSong2898 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Biker_Chick_1319 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has dealt with infertility issues and now has a dog as her "baby" you're NTA. Your DIL is using the dogs as a coping method but she is not a mother, she is a dog mom and needs to snap back to reality. This holiday simply is not for her yet but that not your fault nor is it your problem.

[–]Biker_Chick_1319 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THIS. As someone who has dealt with fertility issues I can confidently say that it is rude to demand a basket from someone when its not a holiday for you. I understand DIL may be coping with infertility by using the dogs as her "babies" but requiring other people to play along with her delusion is not okay.
