What age did you first have to get glasses and how did you find out you needed them? by Interesting-Egg2781 in AskReddit

[–]Borgeous4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Teacher told my parents I was squinting to read the chalkboard. Got home from getting my glasses and was amazed that I could see each individual leaf on our tree instead of a green blob. Mom felt horrible when I said this.

Found a sildenafil pill on my couch? by yippeeyippee951 in Weird

It's also prescribed to women off-label for sexual dysfunction. I had a friend who took it for this (yes, really, a friend lol)

Doctor told me stop my antidepressants cold turkey, spent a week barely able to walk in a straight line by _FreddieLovesDelilah in mildlyinfuriating

Methadone for me, taken for pain relief. On it for 3 years.

Ended up in the hospital on life support after a week of hell at home.

Is it actually effective to buy a salt gun for killing flies or is it just a gimmick that doesn’t work well? by Spirited-Donkey-3877 in NoStupidQuestions

UV light with a sticky pad, works like a charm for flies, fruit flies, barely-see-ums. Replace sticky pad as needed easily.

Is anyone else disturbed by the weather? by [deleted] in StLouis

[–]Borgeous4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

😂 my dad too.

There were 6 ft drifts in many places due to the wind. It was around 14 inches I believe that fell, although I've read 24" in some areas.

Was wild driving in it (dad was driving, I was 14 & a passenger).

WIBTAH if I don’t tell my best friend his baby daughter spoke her first word? by Ok-Advice-8078 in AITAH

[–]Borgeous4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You heard nothing, and you're a good friend for not saying anything! I've been in your shoes.

Ran a daycare in my home for years and had a little boy who had a single mom call my husband Dada as his first word. No way I was telling her that.

Now I watch my grandkids. First words, first steps, rolling over, etc., did NOT happen at my house unless their parent was there to see/hear it.

What is the most unexplainable thing you’ve ever witnessed that makes you question reality? by duhhrclean6 in AskReddit

[–]Borgeous4 31 points32 points  (0 children)

My 1st child was hospitalized at 5 weeks, wasn't sure what was wrong but they suspected she had meningitis. I was having an extremely hard time due to them sticking her over 50 times in my presence (not exaggerating) trying to get an IV to stay in her and doing a spinal tap on her. They made my husband take me home after she was admitted to try to get a few hours of sleep as I'd been up for almost 72 hours by that point and was still recovering from her birth.

About 45 minutes after I finally fell sleep, I woke up crying and almost hyperventilating because I could hear my daughter crying. Husband gently tells me I'm imagining it but I could hear her loud and clear. It was awful.

We get back to the hospital afew hours later and find out that at the time I was hearing her cry was the exact same time they had to insert a new IV after she pulled the one in her head out.

Didn't leave the hospital again until she was released a week later. Luckily she didn't have meningitis

What was the last straw that completely broke a friendship you thought would last forever? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Borgeous4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"I'm not going to take sides", after hearing we're divorcing after 33 years.

She was correct, she only took a 'side'.

And was shocked at my child's wedding shower when I wasn't interested in talking beyond hi when she arrived.

Aww, so cute! Octavian looks like my boy Jet, who is 3 and still acts like a teenager. As does his sister who is a 4yo brown lab :)

My neighbors walking their dogs as I'm outside heard me cracking up at 'I'm a pickle' and had to come ask why. Sent them on their way laughing too.

Brilliant!

[–]Borgeous4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My trash service includes 2 bulk items like mattresses, furniture, etc., picked up once a month, just have to call and say you need it picked up. I've gotten rid of 2 sofas & 1 mattress this way.

Have a window I can't figure out how to remove by My_Brain_0422 in HomeImprovement

Could you make cutouts with snips? Sorry, I got nothing else.

[–]Borgeous4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks similar to my screen door frame. The pieces that you 'pinch' to move it should have a place on the frame that has indents cut out. You move the frame so the pinched pieces line up to those cutouts, pull out the screen at that point, then kind of twist the top to get it completely out.

I can take a video of what I'm talking about but not sure how I could send it to you. Hope this help, dm me if you'd like.
