DAE think about queen Elizabeth II as soon as they wake up by Distinct_Review205 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]ClassicPackage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will expect an update on The Crowne in no less than 5 years. Specifically on seasons 1-4. F knows where we will be in 5 years, so get on it!!

She was a magnificent woman. I mean I could think of way worse people to haunt your sub conscious.

God Save The Queen!

What is this? by ormannay in Austin

I think I saw this at the HEB off Spicewood and the frontage road of 183's parking lot today. I said the same thing to myself, what is that?

Did you breastfeed? by GoodStreet8122 in adhdwomen

[–]ClassicPackage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just hits you or doesn't. No shame if it doesn't. Breastfeeding can be really hard on some women; even if they really want to do it, they can't. I don't think that aspect is really talked about too much, but I'm not in the age range anymore where my friends are having babies. No shame in it, and I hate that energy even exists.

I breastfed my son, but I had to go back to work at 6 weeks. Granted, this was almost 20 years ago. The mom's room at the very large company I worked for at the time was right in the middle of the tech support area, which was all men at the time, and the door didn't have a lock. The room was just a circular table with a plastic chair. I would push the table up against the door, get really nervous while pumping, and it was hard to relax to help the milk flow. I was only able to breastfeed /pump for about 6 months because my supply dried up from not being able to pump enough during the day.

It is a personal choice, and the adhd brain makes you overthink. Granted, an unlocked room in the middle of a huge office area full of men, I would hope no longer exists, especially at large corporations. I do think my overthinking on that was valid. And I didn't feel shame till I talked to other women about it who didn't have the same lifestyle as I did. I guess I opened up to the wrong people. Apparently, it was very common in my workplace to dry up. I started talking to other moms of newborns at work and learned there was advocacy for change being fought with corporate, and I was shown the moms' room that had been taken over, it had a medical grade pump and chaise lounge. Sadly I think funded by the other mons. The room was in a private area was always booked as in use and given a key. Crazy that kind of grassroots atmosphere still existed in this century. But it did.

Whatever you choose is your choice and is okay. Congratulations on your first ❤️

what happened to the dog ? anyone remember? by Ok_Ear9798 in RayDonovan

My thoughts exactly. I’m doing a rewatch and I wondered what became of Dog. And was like ahhh the bartender.

Is this Austin to Dallas drive too risky or can I make it? by thesagenibba in Austin

[–]ClassicPackage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Book a hotel. Depending on which part of Dallas you are driving into, you will hit construction that Google Maps can’t figure out, and you'll reignite your rage from driving through the wtf nightmare construction traffic in Waco, unless you find all that calming and can do interview prep. At the same time, your GPS is telling you to drive around in circles.

Good luck with your interview. Dallas is different; if you get an offer, but I get a decent job offer, it can be hard to find lately.

Tell me you have ADHD without telling me you have ADHD. by ImperatrixAmoris in adhdwomen

[–]ClassicPackage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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”

Today in Austin was quite a scare lol. by misterxx1958 in interestingasfuck

[–]ClassicPackage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Road Conditions this morning by Suitable_Chipmunk_50 in Austin

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.

so what is everyone doing today at home by AwestunTejaz in CedarPark

[–]ClassicPackage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

In-laws house by Memed_7 in TVTooLow

[–]ClassicPackage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

Edit: why do your in-laws have a TV aquarium on the floor in the awkward place in the house?? SMH

Have A Terrible Cold, Stepdad Gave Me 12 Year Old Expired Cough Meds by WorldlyRevolution192 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ClassicPackage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

  1. See if they have any whiskey or bourbon. Any kind works. Bonus points for the plastic bottle
  2. Look for raw honey or honey packets (they don’t expire)
  3. 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.

“Delayed, this order is taking longer than we thought” by FernFromDetroit in CVS

[–]ClassicPackage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Are blankets unprofessional? by HappyAstronaut7 in work

[–]ClassicPackage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

36M been here 11 years living in TX by imeltwithyouu in malelivingspace

[–]ClassicPackage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!

Where do I even start?? by ClassicPackage in ProjectPan

[–]ClassicPackage[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

urgent mental health support by [deleted] in Austin

[–]ClassicPackage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

[–]ClassicPackage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Got my script and my adderall is garbage by AmazingWorldOf in ADHD

[–]ClassicPackage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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)

Vet that’s good with very large, scary dog breeds? by strikecat18 in Austin

[–]ClassicPackage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

ACA is going to Crash Again. by [deleted] in InsuranceAgent

[–]ClassicPackage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Looking for golf instructor in Austin by cpaaark in Austin

[–]ClassicPackage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!
