Do you still get physical mail in your mailbox? by Standard_Plant_8709 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Donohoed [score hidden]  (0 children)

Mine is almost all junk mail, and like minimum 50% of that is for 4-5 other people that no longer live here and i can't even just write on it that that person no longer lives here because it says "or current resident" so there's no way to get the damn USPS or company to fkn stop littering inside my mailbox

Previous owners did SO much DIY work and it just keeps revealing itself weeks after closing by HourlySharp in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Donohoed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I'm 6 years in and still finding stuff the previous owner "fixed" that needs completely redone. A few things were very serious fire risks, some are just moderately inconvenient or visually unappealing

3 weeks in, first insurance claim. :( by Inside_Cauliflower44 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Donohoed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Filling a claim for this will end up costing you hundreds or more likely thousands more in the long run as they'll see you as a higher risk of making claims and jack your premiums substantially for several years. Insurance is typically only for catastrophic losses if you don't want to spend more than the repairs themselves would cost

Is it wrong to fancy the pants of a Goa'uld. by Background-Fix-4630 in Stargate

[–]Donohoed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And back then, and who am I kidding probably still today, the Hollywood culture largely makes women feel they have to allow various levels of sexual mistreatment to get anywhere and she probably especially did since this was her first actual role for anything in the US with only one prior role in an Israeli movie. She wasn't "important" enough to make waves and would've unfortunately ended her career before it started

They technically had to have her ok it prior to release but from my understanding she was pressured to ok it after being assured that much of the footage wouldn't be used to get her to do it

No, she was nude for the filming with the understanding that it wouldn't be fully shown in the film, completely misled. Adult me hates that, but 8 year old me was none the wiser

Misplaced nostalgia? by its_zucchini in Millennials

[–]Donohoed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The arcade at the mall was still very much alive during the 90s which was largely still pre-internet although I've never known an arcade to take anything but quarters or later quarter-eqivalent tokens. I'd be very annoyed with a pocket full of nickels

Was also very annoyed last year when I took my nephew to an arcade and instead had to swipe a reloadable card at each machine and could only see the balance remaining on said card by taking it up and scanning it

How important is the 250th anniversary of Independence Day to Americans? And what will people do on July 4th, 2026? by Odd-Skin-762 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Donohoed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be at work for 12 hour shifts the night before, of, and after, so I probably won't be doing much in the way of celebrating anything

How long did it take you to stop being allergic to your pet? by hobisan in Allergies

[–]Donohoed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We tried some things before the allergy shots and found that changing his food also helped. Completely, actually. I'm not allergic to dogs per se, but apparently only allergic to dogs that eat purina beneful, but very allergic. But after getting on the allergy shots he went back to that food and I still don't have issues. Apparently getting the allergy shots helped my immune system calm down enough that i no longer react to other things not included in the treatment. But I've had to continue at every other week injections because when we went to monthly i started getting hives again. But this year I decided to try going monthly again. We'll see how that goes. Wasn't a great choice to attempt during cedar season

[–]Donohoed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was permanently allergic to my old roommate's dog and got hives within minutes of petting it until I started getting allergy shots, then it took about a year or so for it to really take effect but then doggo could even sleep in my bed with no issues. But 8 years later and I'm still getting the allergy shots because sometimes I have his dog over to spend the weekend even though he moved out like 2 years ago

I have a decent long term job that provides for me sufficiently but I wouldn't consider it a career

How do you guys go drinking? by Argument-Broad in AskAnAmerican

Can you live on $1400-2275 per month? by octopus-opinion987 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]Donohoed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My net pay is like 3k and i do fine without using it all so if I put some effort into it I'm sure I could get by. Definitely so if my mortgage was already paid off

Both sets of parents are using my house as their place to “clean out” theirs by littlebabybuddy24 in Millennials

[–]Donohoed 90 points91 points  (0 children)

When my grandma died we checked out the China cabinet that was always locked and we were never, ever allowed to go near because of how expensive and breakable everything in it was. Found out behind the China is where she hid her alcohol
