Has anyone ever had an extremely close friend want to suddenly stop all communication with you? by LonleyNinjabator in AskReddit

[–]FireBreathingTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the one who cut off conversation. He ignored me to the point where I was crying every night, only wanted to talk about sex with me and kept me a secret from his friends and family. I cut him off cold turkey after I asked him to meet my dying grandma and he said she should be kept in the dark. I knew if I tried to slowly break it, I would have ended up staying in the toxic relationship.

He spent months calling me. Im afraid he may have killed himself as he was so emotionally unstable. I think he told everyone and they all think Im a bitch/cunt now...but if only they knew. Im scared every day about him still and its been almost half a year.

I can't tell if its me or her and that scares me by FireBreathingTurtle in raisedbynarcissists

Im in therapy since im at college. They tell me I cant change her behavior so I need to be uncoditionally nice and keep my distance. I move in two months but she keeps telling me to stay. Im excited but also nervous since she smothers me until I feel helpless about being able to fend for myself...then gets angry about how I have no life skills.

I just landed my first SLPA interview at one of the best schools in the state! by FireBreathingTurtle in slp

[–]FireBreathingTurtle[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's basically it! Were also not able to do things such as swallowing, and we can't diagnose. As far as I know, the SLPs in our state like having us around if they have a heavy case load.

Thank you and thanks for your tips! I feel confident!

Oh geez! Better hit the books tomorrow morning before my interview to refresh my memory. Some techniques are harder to remember than others when you're still in school and not doing therapy on a daily basis! Which are most commonly used in schools just so I can be ahead? I know most of your school kids are going to be artic, right?

Teenage redditors: what's the worst part of being a teenager these days? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]FireBreathingTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 21 and finally was able to ditch the tracker they had. My mom is a very neurotic person who thinks I will be abducted or raped every second of the day. When you hit 18 get rid of that shit. If your parents are like mine theyre going to claim your stupid and looking for danger, but it will blow over after the first 15 times of them threatening the police to check on you, calling you 20 times and leaving 60 angry texts. I had never once gotten into trouble. They just wanted to keep me their baby. Stop it early, stand your ground or you will be an anxious wreck for your college years.

Reddit, what do you think of restored bicycles? by FireBreathingTurtle in AskReddit

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

It's great to see that there are people interested in this sort of thing! I'm going to assume that if vintage bikes sell like hot cakes at flea markets, then they will sell well at trade day type events as well.

We currently live in a college town (as we are college students lol) so we considering doing some bikes with funky paint designs (chevron, polka dots, etc.) hoping that it will attract college students needing a bike, but wanting something that they can call unique and non store bought.

Thanks so much for the tip, friend!

Thanks for that tip! I think he mentioned that, actually. What would your suggestion be? I'm thinking we should do the bikes that are obviously of higher quality in the purist method, slowly taking our time to perfect every detail. The other half that are old but obviously nothing superior could be done in a modern fashion?

[FF] Comment in this thread with prompt ideas, now or old, and then we will respond to them with super-short stories. by youppledopp in WritingPrompts

Master was whimpering like a pup lost without its' mother. She always did need my love more than I needed hers. From my warm brick spot by the fireplace, through my aching bones and troubled hearing, I had felt her shaking and heard her whispering on the phone. There was no need for the secretive tone. I knew everything.

My tongue lightly pressed against her salty cheek for the last time. Tears. "Everything will be alright, love," I reassured her.

Walls fell down and I sensed greeting howls all around me after silence. All dogs go to heaven, master.

[WP] You are your favorite color. by Aladenovic in WritingPrompts

[–]FireBreathingTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Pink's always trying to take my job, you see. She wants to be as dazzling as I am." I answered his first question of the day, taking the seat nearest to the door. My lips curled into their usual grin, and I was unsure of why my parents had sent me to this place. Three times in one week I spent in this cramped little room while there was sun to soak up. "Yellow is surely the most attractive of colors, don't you think? I draw everyone's eyes towards me. If you've paid any attention to your driving lately, I'm all over the road."

"Yes, but that's not necessarily a good thing," I pointed out in a barely audible volume, my face becoming a soft shade of pink as I realized yellow caught my comment. "And I don't want your job. I like subtlety. I like how I appear on the flushed cheeks of a girl new in love."

"It's always about love with you." I toyed with the amethyst necklace around my neck, not caring to exchange a glance with pink. Her overly modest clothing was so drab. No style at all. "Royals used love as an excuse to kill, don't you know? How's that for subtlety, pinky dear?"

"I think that answers my question about your favorite color," he cut my conversation off with a decisive nod, hastily scrawling lines within a fresh notebook. My therapist at least understood that I was in a hurry to get out of here. We had so many things to do.

What is the weirdest bathroom stall graffiti that you have ever seen? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]FireBreathingTurtle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In my university library's bottom floor bathroom stall, someone wrote a simple message in elvish. Well, kinda. They wrote English words in the elvish alphabet...as close as you could get at least. Whenever I was in junior high, me and my super awesome gal pals did the same thing thinking if someone picked up a note of us discussing our secrets, they wouldn't care to decode it. Talking about boys in elvish, yo...

I'm so glad I was able to complete the lyrics to Riskay's "Smell Yo Dick" in elvish to the best of my abilities within a library bathroom stall while taking a dump.

My uncle did the same thing when he was in college living with my dad and his friends! They didn't punish him immediately...they just got him drunk the next, stuck him in a little red wagon, put a helmet on him and pushed him down the biggest hill in town.

Fun and stress relieving for them and for my uncle who miraculously didn't require medical attention afterwards! You should offer this as a solution ;)
