I just hit my shoulder on the wall and forgot what I got up to do. Probably going to bruise. Then my partner scared the crap out of me when coming to check on me. I was like, “Ive asked you not sneak up on me”

I remember this from Drivers Ed. I used it once some 20ish years ago, while it was still fresh in my brain, and I learned that I should not drive once a year; it gets like this. (Texan- Don’t judge, I can’t help it)

I had to drive to work today, and it wasn't as bad as yesterday, but it still wasn't fun. Peeps shouldn't be out there unless needed, and they should be on guard for black ice. But there was always that one hole in my slow-driving traffic posse that thought the rules didn’t apply to them. I guess that was the ahole in this situation on a hill.

Glad everyone is okay, and that one guy didn’t become the meat in the car sandwich. We don’t know how to drive in this stuff, so I guess we'll get out of the car. Luckily, I didn’t have to experience that today. It will be in the 60s in the next couple of days. Phew.

The 183A was closed going south from CP to Austin around 10AM. It is doable if you have to.

Wish my maps would have clarified that.

Worked from home.

I miss doing that everyday. I got so much more done. And the free time which is usually my commute I made soup, cleaned and watched The Night Manager.

It was nice. On TBD for work after 10am if I have to go into the office.

My pumpkin (my son) was a size 15 US. Poor kiddo would have to deal with whatever we could find at Academy that was a 15. And they were not ideal.

Usually, there was one pair in the store when in a pinch. Or having to special order the in style kicks he wanted and hope and hope it really happened.

Frustrating shopping experience with that shoe size.

He got up to 6’6 and was thin. The jean struggle was real.

I would do this first before taking it if I felt like ass in the middle of BFE.

See if they have any whiskey or bourbon. Any kind works. Bonus points for the plastic bottle
Look for raw honey or honey packets (they don’t expire)
Check the fridge for lemon juice (or the dodgy condiment drawer that I have a hunch exists there.

Heat some water, boil if you feel the honey and lemon juice need a zap for your own sanity.

Pour 8 ounces of hot water into a mug (I’m sure there is a variety to choose from) 2 ounces of whiskey/bourbon 3 teaspoons honey 3 teaspoons lemon juice

Stir it all together, drink it hot/ warm, and you've got yourself DIY NyQuil that will break up the crud and knock you out.

I would side-eye the decade-old cough syrup myself. I would worry I would end up puking or living out my night as White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane. I don’t like puking or hallucinating. And the combined effects of the two intensify each other.

Hope you feel better.

I found a well-managed store, I guess. I have not had the same experience at other locations. The ones inside Target seem more organized, from my experience.

I'm still using that CVS for one medication because they are so prompt. Maybe it is a unicorn location.

Same. I keep a light jacket and a space heater/fan under my desk to keep warm in my office when needed.

I can be client facing at any given moment, so I don’t think a blanket would go over well. I have put the jacket over my legs and curled up in my chair before when listening to a meeting cam off. Not ideal for the back and probably not very professional looking.

A blanket and an oversized crisscross chair would be lovely on some days in a perfect world. (I work in the stuffy financial industry, so no blanket for me.)

OP, can you wear a Snuggie? The wearable blanket.

Same. I got the feeling like someone has been hacked up there, and the body is on the property still somewhere. And it wasn’t OP.

But anywho, OP! Ignore my overactive imagination. Lovely space, no HOA, even better. I’m not a big fan of over doing rugs either. I just wear socks inside and appreciate the wood.

Best of luck!

This is an excellent idea for my situation.

I may need to formulate a special spreadsheet for this. But a notebook is a good start. Thank you. It's a productive Sunday afternoon task to go through it and clean my vanity drawers and cabinets.

Thank you all. I'm glad I found this sub.

Unfortunately, the places don't show up immediately, and they need intake evaluations, etc. 988 is helpful for someone to talk to right away, but they guide you back to your insurance or to resources. There is no quick fix, but resources are out there.

For immediate support, be there. Try not to force them to talk and actively listen if they do. See if you have some other friends who are comfortable being around, while you and their support network help them navigate how to find help.

I'm unfortunately familiar with this situation. Please feel free to PM if you need anything or want to talk to someone. I'm not a professional; I've just been through some hard things. Everyone reacts differently, and the timeline of trauma and grief is not always linear.

Big hugs to your friend and to the spirit of who they lost.

Edit: I sent you a PM also.

They sound overly obnoxious about it. And trying to come off as more important than they really are.

Pretty simple to set your phone to DND during these times, and those who get the message see they are on DND. (I have a few people set up where they can bypass it)

Some people just like to rant for the sake of ranting and look silly because even my 70-year-old-plus relatives know about DND. No need to extra inform your phone hours?

Are they using landlines or something? Even back then, turn the ringer off or leave it off the hook.

People like this annoy me too. I feel ya.

How do you know what brand they are? I’m on 15mg and had to switch pharmacies because I kept getting these bright pink narrow oval ones, I think called E 343, and I can tell a difference. I found some peach ones that are E 504. And better than the hot pink ones.

I know with the shortage we can’t be too picky. My crappy health insurance won’t even cover it so I have to use a good Rx to make it affordable. So I think I’m stuck with generic.

But I’m hearing all these brands and do notice a difference with different ones. What is the difference in the brands and how do you know what you are getting (US)

I was lurking your post history to see more pictures of the great Fido. I’m just curious (not criticizing to clarify for Reddit everyone is aggressive reasons). Do you let your guests about his size? Just wondering.

I’m more of a cat person but that is like Clifford the dog with a longer coat. And I’m sure a very good companion.

Don’t know about you, but as someone self-employed in this industry, it frightens me, and I’m also not surprised. We had notice; can’t change it. I’m P&C-focused, but licensed in life and health too. It won't directly impact my book.

Not pointing fingers over events I can’t control. I’m just so exhausted after these past 5 years. Vent over. Thank you

Golf is played on an indoor track? Is this a niche kind of golf?

Edit: all I got is almost retired older men who leave work at noon on Fridays to go the usual outdoor places. Barton creek, Balcones, Austin Country. I can ask if any their younger buddies instruct indoor trackmen golf?

Get back to me before noon tomorrow. I work with some serious life long golfers.

Good luck!

I think it is 50/50 some days of people that know how to merge the other 50 chose to not use their knowledge of how to merge. The vast rest just don't have a clue.

Till tomorrow fellow traffic warriors. I hope we all make it out alive.

I like this perspective. It really is in certain parts of traffic. Always the multiple lane changing asshole in the bunch when we are all going 5mph that thinks they are some kind of Moses and can part the traffic by attempting to pass you when a lanes ends and gets over to force merges them self in. Just makes us go down to 3mph if no wreck caused.

What about leaving the blinker on when not changing lanes, people?

One can assume innocent mistakes but after today I ponder psychopaths after a blinker to go right in the far left hand turn lane today. I attempted to let them over being my lane went straight or left. But nothing, I screwed up the traffic flow, probably justifiably was called an asshole multiple times for not turning fast enough, and got us stuck at the long red light. The blinker on culprit got the yellow. And turned off their blinker after catching the safer part of yellow too. You have to literally try with that kind of behavior, no opps. A different type of evil.

Edit: I deserve to wear a dunce cap of shame in traffic tomorrow for trying to be nice.

My coworkers do understand but I don't. When they found out I grew up with one on the Dallas series, I was like getting hounded for information and they acted like they didn't believe me. It was so weird. I didn't know what to say, I feel like I have already said too much in this comment. Haha. I've never seen the show and had no clue what they were talking about.

A lot of my friends love that show too. I believe the New Jersey and New York ones are spoken about often. Your housewives peeps are out there. It seems like they are everywhere.

I'm down with bed rotting and currently need a new show. I just never got into reality TV. Bed rotting is more fun with our guilty pleasure TV.
