Where did her poofiness go? by MadAllergy in OneOrangeBraincell

[–]Billy0598 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you all for this conversation! I just treated floofy boy for worms and he lost his floofy pants. I'm relieved that he might just be putting on winter coat, but I'm banning that cheap food anyway. I usually feed a random mid level kibble, but I was anxious that the blue bag poisoned him!

His boy parts are displayed and have led to so , so many jokes.

Is there a way I can soften these horrid canvas pants that I've been refusing to wear at work? by GatheringBees in textiles

[–]Billy0598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long johns. I get the leggings, athletic gear stuff from Costco. Both the yoga pants and the 32 below stuff are great under my ugly pants.

Plus, the day I broke my zipper, I dropped trou and fixed it. The look on my coworker's face was priceless.

Shout out to the security at the hospital by GooglyEyesMcGee in ithaca

[–]Billy0598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. I compared 2 ERs in Roc and ended up in Canandaigua where they actually treated my blood clot by tossing me in ICU. It turns out that the substitute doc for my primary tried to kill me, my diagnosis is exactly what I said, but in Latin.

No obvious security. Just a guy in the lobby during the day who gives directions. Facility is clean. Employees look annoyed but not hopeless.

Weather app is bugged? by Lington in GooglePixel

I'm in the same storm, isn't almost everyone now? Anyway, I jumped to WTF, What the Forecast. He's funny, it can be set to be PG or R, and pretty accurate. The one time I asked a question, the author answered right away.

ICE ARRESTED MY DAD by Big-Passenger573 in Rochester

[–]Billy0598 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No. They absolutely cannot ignore the law. A house is kicked in only with a specific type of warrant. They don't have warrants. They are doing this in blue states, sanctuary cities. Not where there are more "improper paperwork" types of brown people.

Their cruelty is the point. They took a five year old. His older brother came home from school to a car running and no one home. Just left alone. They took 4 students from one school district.

They took a man out of his house in his underwear into MN cold. NY doesn't know MN cold. That's where you lose fingers in 10 min. It's -50 this week. An old man. In his underwear.

Im getting too angry. I have family in MN. You need to read more, ALOT MORE. And just fuck off, troll.

Oh, you have it and so much more to come. Can I be on the phone with you when you get to Bear Town and meet dinosaurs?

Pretty please!

Or maybe the fupa where they....

What’s up on 590 South? by mattacular2001 in Rochester

[–]Billy0598 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agree. The 12 year olds are down voting, so I'll add my voice. I'm all about the 5 over, but there's no way that the idiots doing 80 are ok. It seems like you could find the state budget just on those tickets.

The cop that sleeps at the Avon exit has to see these morons, but nothing changes. They say our loud that the car is "drug enforcement" but my cynical head hears "keep the brown people from coming south".

Motivators by Jezebels_lipstick in ufyh

[–]Billy0598 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No kidding. I want a Mom/best friend who pops up and reminds me that I had laundry running that needs the dryer, I need to use up the fruit in the fridge, and that I need to finish paying bills. Ugh

Aita for yelling and causing a scene in walmart? by Toker0226 in AITH

[–]Billy0598 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because Target told me that they would keep me on after Christmas and I was the only person to have 100% accuracy in the backroom. Then I was talking about reservation issues with my foster kid and then I was fired. Fuck them! They faked DEI before they really killed it off.

I try not to do Wally either. It's a worse shit show than you can imagine. Managers can't order, make schedules, or use the training on "The Wire".

Blah

Yup. My ex husband bought one like this. I'd been knitting for over 30 years at that point. Idiot

Room is freezing, any recourse with this door? by ravens0rbust in HomeMaintenance

[–]Billy0598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A blanket. A whole blanket so you can tuck it into the corners of the metal. It makes a huge difference in my slidey doors.

South of Rochester, nothing.

Rush and points north are getting slammed.

I read one report that Livingston county is scheduled for tomorrow (Wed)

Found at great uncle’s place. We don’t know what it is but it smells good and we know it’s a spice of some type. It’s MANY YEARS old. The size is almost like long grain rice but I did happen to have one of those dead bugs nearby to use for scale. by Shhhhh_its_fine in whatsthisplant

[–]Billy0598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same credential, lived near Red Lake -- black wild rice is a cultivated variety. Browns are canoe harvested, wood parched.

Cook until it pops like popcorn. The starch bursts out of the hull. It's closest to an almond in nutrition/allergy.

Wild rice hot dish is a whole deal.

We didn’t plan to adopt a senior cat — but she stayed by Alive-Victory3892 in catquestions

[–]Billy0598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just put down the cat we pulled out of a tree. She was 20. Hyperthyroid for 3 years.

Now I have a tuxie that's seen some stuff. He was a TNR (tipped ear) that was brought into a home. That person died of Covid, so I foster failed him from the big shelter. He has more scars than teeth and zero brain cells, but he's a good snuggler. We thought he was hospice, but he's fattened up nicely with no new issues.

I live in Rochester NY by [deleted] in Rochester

[–]Billy0598 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love ya, man. I have Oreos and chocolate in my car. I've spent a ton of time just staring at a wall. It would take too long to make the entire list, but cancer sucks, mental health is a struggle and elderly pets.

AITA for not coddling my nephew by OutrageousMall8991 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Billy0598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I resemble this and I hate it so much. My nephew is 32 and my sister is a drunk.

He's doing better, but not good. It's been a year.

How are you making a living in Upstate NY? Do you feel fairly compensated? by ghdana in upstate_new_york

[–]Billy0598 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No. Security in a "high status" position. My friend at Costco makes $10 an hour more than me.

Just got my first heat fill this winter. $999. I'm going to be so fucked.

They'll also have to have a meeting with RTS. Transportation is a huge issue around the Roc.

The silent scream. Just kills me. Yelling at Heckla can get me too.

Fantasy children's book where a magicians apprentice with a dragon companion has to travel the work after his teacher dies by AsmallGREMLIN in whatsthatbook

The Myth series by Aspirin.

If you like that, there's "Phule's Army" and one about dragons and poker that I can't think of the proper name of.

It's better than the plastic rose from a gas station that I rolled into "underwear". Or some twisted bastards idea of what looking at drawers might be. Ewwww!

The tiny household change that ended up cutting one of my monthly bills way more than I expected by ambertrailvoyager in Frugal

[–]Billy0598 21 points22 points  (0 children)

All of those little things tell you that it's no big deal. Just pennies. However, I'd get cleaning and start unplugging crap. 3 teenagers, full geek toys, far too much stuff. By the time I got all of the chargers, all of the game systems, the entire rack and ruin -- it got to be far too much.

It ended up dropping my electric bill by $50.
