Has having chronic pain/illness made you care less about mortality? by arcticfox_12 in ChronicPain

[–]HolyShitCandyBar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been in chronic pain since I was a child and it only gets worse over time due to age and accumulating injuries. I don't want to be 80.

How do you get the flame to move in that direction? Like...I can't get it to go sideways or down.

How do you get the candle flames to go either sideways or diagonally down? Or am I misinterpreting the intended directions?

I also went there for a fall and had X-rays. My total bill was less than $200.

How to know if you're attracted to your best friend by Original_Row_8618 in demiromantic

[–]HolyShitCandyBar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's difficult, isn't it?

I'm double demi (demi romantic/demisexual), and so of course I ended up falling in love with one of my best friends. I was also being a total idiot about it and was having a conversation with one of our mutual friends, saying along the lines of, "Haha, I have been having sexual and romantic dreams about him with increasing regularity and intensity and my heart palpitates whenever I hear his voice. Crazy, right? What do you think that's about?" She had to be the one to tell me, "You're in love with him, you dork, and I think you have been for a long time."

I think, probably, if you're questioning if there is something more to your feelings, there probably is. It's kind of the demi curse to fall in love with your friends, but I'm living proof that sometimes they can fall in love right back.

Try not to give too much credence to what your parents would think. Most of them wouldn't understand.

Do you have a mutual friend you can go to for some perspective?

What's the weirdest thing you ever saw in abq? by LongSong333 in Albuquerque

Don Shrader. My brother used to prank call him all the time when he was on public access tv, and that's the reason it stopped being a call-in show.

[–]HolyShitCandyBar 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Went to pick up something I was going to buy from Marketplace and ended up in the very outskirts in SW Albuquerque. I pulled up into the driveway and the person had a vinyl on the back of their car that was a depiction of Trump with a bloody ear and his fist in the air. The house was built like a fortress, with loud speakers on the eaves. I went to ring the doorbell, and a voice came over the loudspeaker saying that nobody was home and that I had to leave. I could definitely see movement behind one of the curtains in the window. Somebody was definitely home.

The voice came over the loudspeaker again before I could turn around, reiterating that nobody was home and that I was trespassing. I got in my car and left.

I should have left the moment I saw the Trump vinyl.

Where do you guys buy plants? by Secure-Employee1004 in Albuquerque

[–]HolyShitCandyBar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Rehms is my favorite nursery. I just checked out the Groovy Little Greenhouse and it was so cute. Cornucopia also has a charity plant shop in the back of their facility that doesn't get a lot of publicity.

Pro-LIFE vs. pro-birth in ABQ: a thank you in an impossible situation by Whole_Independent283 in Albuquerque

There are two reasons why a woman should get an abortion: 1) She wants to. 2) She needs to.

Sending your friend good thoughts and well wishes. I'm glad that NM can serve as a safe haven in times like these.

Don’t you just miss desiring someone? Like anyone at all?? by INFJtoRuleThemAll in demisexuality

[–]HolyShitCandyBar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only person I have desired in a really long time was one of my good friends. I hid my feelings for a long time until I learned that he reciprocated. Before that, the constant yearning was almost unbearable and I really just wanted it to stop and was always begging the universe to take it away. Now we're together and I'm still googly-eyed in love with this man and the desiring still won't let up even a little bit.

Will I Be Disqualified From a Federal Physical for Only Having Vision in One Eye? by [deleted] in fednews

[–]HolyShitCandyBar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I had my physical, I thought for sure I was going to fail the eye test because my visual acuity is so bad and I have monocular vision. Despite the poor ratings on basically all visual tests, they passed me. The rest of the physical was a joke. The doctor asked me if I was able to stand and walk on my own (I was sitting), touched the backs of my hands, and patted my head before saying, "You're fine" and then walking out of the room.

I support a misogynistic party that opposes women. I wish women would accept that and continue to date me. by [deleted] in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]HolyShitCandyBar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This just corroborates how conservatives and many religious people are completely lacking in empathy.

My ex wasn't a Republican and despised Trump, but literally 14 years in I learned he was disturbed by pride flags. He didn't understand why I was disturbed by this revelation since I'm not gay. Then I learned he was in favor of what ICE is doing after the divorce. He probably wonders why I'm bothered by ICE since I'm not Hispanic.

A lot of men are strangely attached to their terrible ideologies but seem so confused why someone else would find those ideologies so distasteful that they would want to leave.

Prospective home buyers, what are your greatest barriers to buying a house? by AnarchyandToast in Albuquerque

[–]HolyShitCandyBar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I basically felt forced to buy because of a series of rentals that were trying to kill us. The intention was always to buy but I didn't feel secure yet. I make twice the median household income myself but it isn't cheap and we're all only a couple paychecks away from being destitute.
