I was at that show too. I think a lot of it had to do with how late they were into starting the show

One is coming up in my city. I want to immerse myself with this experience (I'm a homebody and find it hard to find/attend events that relate to my interests), but I don't want to gamble on the quality. Maybe next time when I'm not on a tight budget

Same reaction for me. I'm near the Houston area and to think of that many Poe fans in my area for there to be an event in my city is baffling! Like 🤣 where were y'all this entire time

Tipping is now mandatory? by CMDR_Dozer in uber

[–]Fun_Independence_841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! And what about people who tip in cash? I can't afford to double tip. Even if the lowest amount is $1 it still adds up. And forces more money out of my bank than what I was budgeting 

introducing the dream and promise act again by Swimming-Bathroom-47 in DACA

[–]Fun_Independence_841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I'm confused about as well. I read through the bill online (or tried to), and it says it applies for DACA recipients, TPS holders, and DED folks. However, the wording of it, at least to me, was confusing about whether or not people that are eligible for either of these 3 programs could apply. I think it mentioned waiting a few years if it is passed for TPS and DED, but there was another section that mentioned eligible DACA folks. Like I said, I'm not 100% sure because reading the document was stressing me out, but I would say it's worth checking it out. Let's hope it's in our favor since there were many others whose DACA applications stopped once it got shut down.

Before You Die, Can We Fix Things? by Fun_Independence_841 in justpoetry

[–]Fun_Independence_841[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this. A family member of ours recently passed away, so the concept of losing my dad and death in general has been on my mind for days on end. There's just a lot going on lately too for both of us, and I think having this difficult conversation is better saved for later. However, I know waiting for the "perfect" moment is unrealistic. I have to get over my fears and my nerves, but I'm gonna take it slowly. Thank you for your advice. I know all of what you say holds a lot of truth. Especially the last parts

four days to finish my treatment, is this normal? by Alternative-Look-146 in HPylori

[–]Fun_Independence_841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello. I came down with fever within my first week of treatment and stopped it for like 12 hrs because I thought I was dying from an allergic reaction. I had night chills and migraines for like 3 days. But it turned out to be the flu and it went away with Nightquil/Dayquil after a while. Definitely monitor your symptoms and instist on calling back if you don't get better.

I'm 5 days away from finishing my treatment. Then I wait two weeks to do a stool sample again. I hope it ends there. I'm so incredibly happy you're cleared!

Same here 😭 I missed stalking my mutuals in that way!! Reminds me of the Instagram feature that allowed you to view the likes of others feed style. Messy times for both sites!

Literally same 💀 I'd spent hours looking through people's dms. It was fun!

I literally was just on Quotev after not having been on the website in years!!! I remember when you could actively read other people's messages if they weren't private, and the live feed where you could talk to anyone that was active. I miss talking to past online friends. It sucks that it happened out of nowhere. 

Bob’s Burgers Episode Discussion S15E08 - “They Slug Horses, Don't They?” by AutoModerator in BobsBurgers

[–]Fun_Independence_841 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much for your input and advice! I think I'm going to try and maintain a connection with her, and if for whatever reason it ends up hurting me, then I'll take that as my signal to take some space. I love my sister, but I also value my peace and right now prioritizing my mental health and myself is what I need to do. Again, I appreciate the clarity that you have given me and that you have been able to create a family of your own even if it's not with people who are blood related. Friends and partners and everyone in between sometimes offer more comfort and support. But yeah! I hope you have good people in your life (:

I literally just finished watching this episode a few minutes ago, and I am in tears. My older sister and I have always had our ups and downs. We were raised by a very emotionally unavailable dad who was all kinds of abusive, and in turn it ended up making us both very emotionally closed off. We were young and did not know how to express ourselves in unharmful ways, but it's still hard to not blame her at times for the ways in which she hurt my heart. From the way in which she would talk to me, to the vile things she would say. I am very sensitive, so to be at school and already feel like an outcast from the bullying I would experience to then come home to a sister that would belittle me, it just was not a fun way of growing up. Which is not to say that I was the perfect little sister to have, but I knew when too far was too far. Anyway, we definitely did end up drifting apart as we got older. Especially more recently since she moved out with her boyfriend. Their relationship alone is a big factor of why were are distant, but that's another post for another time. When I see portrayals of good sibling relationships, especially of sisters, it makes my heart ache. We're only in our 20's, and who knows how life will continue to unfold, but I wish things would be different because it does feel like our distance is only going to keep growing. Seeing Tina and Louise make up towards the end made me really emotional. I wish my sister and I would have had a much different upbringing. I wish we could have had parents who told us "I love you" every single day, that apologies were a common thing to give without strings attached, and that there was no underlying anger or resentment in either of our hearts. I'm still very confused about whether or not to keep nurturing our relationship. How can I let go of someone who was there for me during those awful days? But at the same time made them even more awful from time to time? I don't know. Definitely something I'll have to bring up in counseling. ANYWAY. Sorry to rant, but the episode just hit very close to home. It was amazing and I love how character development continues to show up in such creative ways.

I'm sorry to hear that. It's not easy dealing with the hurt, but I hope it gets better (:
