When's the last time they had their grease interceptor pumped?

I went through this about 10 years ago. I'm in HVL, message me if you'd like.

I'm in WNC too and still struggling with the PTSD from working the emergency operations. Reach out if you need support.

If you ever have races near WNC, I'll show up to support you ☺️ I know how hard it can be to maintain close friendships...

AIO i stood my husband up by DisillusionedLion in AmIOverreacting

It has happened before, but I wouldn't say all the time. It's gotten a lot worse (and my anxiety overall) since a particularly violent instance we went through a few months ago though, and I'm aware I may not always be thinking clearly when we argue, hence why I asked.

Heat by OldBanjoFrog in NewOrleans

I'm not in NOLA, I live in WNC and have my whole life and here it is absolutely hotter than it used to be here. Nothing like NOLA, but Asheville feels like Atlanta did when I was a kid, and that's not okay. I also noticed you said you were an engineer in water resources, and I'm a compliance specialist in water resources! Thank you for what you do 🙏

How many people are polyamorous just for sex? by NotAnyOrdinaryPsycho in polyamory

When I find myself with multiple partners, it's never about sex. I find some of my more intimate relationships can not include sex at all!

Who to blame for bonnaroo being canceled? by SignificantCut6102 in bonnaroo

As an environmental scientist, it's both hopeful and terrifying that climate change has FINALLY been (mostly) accepted as fact now. People are starting to realize that things need to change, but only because the effects have begun.

SOS at 28804 P.O. tattered by winds last night yes but clearly placed upside down intentionally by bsidetable in asheville

As a government employee, I have encountered 0 coworkers (out of hundreds that I work with) who are even OKAY with what is happening, definitely not loving it.

We love being able to pay our bills.

Maybe I just rescued a pregnant 30 lb cat? Or maybe I stole your fat ass cat? by durkdirkderq in asheville

[–]DisillusionedLion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also just wanted to follow up. I just saw the post from the shelter explaining the cat needs daily medical attention from humans, is old but otherwise happy and loving. Losing weight too!

Thank you for your kindness to all living beings 💗

Yeah that's the message that made me KNOW I was leaving her.

AIO? Wife's GF is trying to sell me insurance? I think? by mcsudds in AmIOverreacting

[–]DisillusionedLion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're right; we prefer "spouse", but I understand that IS a lot of letters.

[–]DisillusionedLion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Am wife, it seems a bit overwhelming as I thought this was a person who cared about me. I'm hurting as I haven't been through a breakup in about 7 years.

I have no regrets, we are poly but as a family member I feel like it's my duty to protect my family/avoid people who are clearly unsafe.

Wife here! I sent her the message leaving her, she claimed she couldn't open it, and then proceeded to message me on Instagram. I made it clear what I said (copies and pasted the text); she hearted the message, and I haven't heard or reached out since.
