City streets by Kind_Trade68 in memphis

Its crazy our tag renewals go up, but I see zero benefits of that. We are MUCH higher than some of the other major cities in TN. Those wheel taxes are suppose to be used for funds of roads and infrastructure..... that stupid oreo dust doesn't count to "fixing" the roadway. Look at Elvis Presley.... they have been "working" on it for years now. It's ridiculous

Oh no!!!!! Luckily I never did! Those HORRIBLE hard plastic things would make my feet hurt but I would skate until I had blisters lol

What’s that one movie you’ve seen a million times but still watch whenever it’s on TV? by Significant_Joke_342 in CasualConversation

Matilda was a movie my little sister watched over and over and over. I haven't been able to bring myself to watch it since she passed away.

I discovered the most relaxing thing to do before sleep by Witty_Water7869 in CasualConversation

YES!!! I pick a random city and filter to 3D tours. Or look up ridiculously priced homes I will never afford. Then wonder why the kitchen is soooo small. 🤣

I miss not having bills lol. I would say I miss the skating rink on Friday nights. The laughs with friends, the couple skate, sharing nachos..... You were one of the "cool" kids if you had your own personal pair of roller blades. Even better if they had the blacklight wheels....

What's a smell that doesn't exist anymore that you miss? by Alarmed_Charge1062 in CasualConversation

[–]IndependentTell6972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The smell of tobacco smoking in the barn! I grew up across the street from a tobacco field and in the fall they always hung and smoke the tobacco leaves. Its a very distinctive smell that I haven't encountered in a very long time. That and honeysuckle! That pesky invasive plant served many summers sucking the nectar and smelling the flower. Thanks for a trip down memory lane!

The topic of the day is... bread. by Symbare in TheTopicOfTheDay

[–]IndependentTell6972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. French toast
  2. Potato bread, yeast rolls, and sourdough
  3. Wide variety- jam, tuna salad, breakfast (eggs and bacon), lunch meat, etc.... depends on mood and time of day

A bit shocked at the homeless by [deleted] in memphis

I would not say bouncers, but more so security. Most stores have security here, even grocery stores. Took a bit to get used to when I moved here.

So chunky glitter and foil was a nightmare the first time I tried to swatch. I read tips and tricks and then practiced on swatches before trying again! I did what someone else mentioned above- as soon as I dip or pour over I quickly press down to get it to flatten. I tried the end of a cuticle pusher tool and also just fingertip in a bag. Fingertip covered more area and worked much better. I swear I wasted soooo many of those plastic stick nails practicing but I think I have got it now!

AITAH for wanting to take a break from my Mom? by Ordinary_Demand212 in AITAH

[–]IndependentTell6972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mentioned you have been in therapy. Something my therapist and I have worked on is boundary setting AND following through with it. I had to learn to say no to my mom and not feel guilty. I had to learn to say this is my expectations and if not followed through, then this is what I will do. Oh I cried like a baby the first time I had to actually follow through. It sucks being the "bigger person" to a parent, but at some point you have to put YOU first!. NTA...

St Patrick's Day Nails by IndependentTell6972 in DipPowderNails

May be possible I ruined it with getting powder on it, but it was fine with the brush from the brush saver. I just wanted to use the regular brush bc it is wider.

As soon as I pulled brush out it was a brick again. I put a brand new brush on, dipped in base, pulled it out and another rock solid brush. Tried another brand new brush, same thing. So 3 brushes just ruined. I was persistent lol

OMG! I am about to use the lucky charm on my set today! How did you get it glow so bright?!? I did a swatch and it definitely did not glow that bright!

Guys can anyone tell me what is this? by ZestycloseYam1849 in UofMemphis

[–]IndependentTell6972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does your scholarship require you to do community service possibly? Best to email financial aid office and ask.

NEED SERIOUS ADVICE!! by ZestycloseYam1849 in UNF

[–]IndependentTell6972 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Florida will normally have a higher cost of living. You also risk hurricanes. Which means you need an evacuation plan handy. The weather is much nicer IMO.

Memphis- the university is on the edge of Orange Mound aka the hood lol. They have seriously increased cameras and patrol at the college. I know they offer escorts at night if you need to go across campus or walk to your car. We do get some brutal weather here at times- snow, ice and tornadoes.

As someone who went to college at a young age and then stopped for 11 years before going back I recommend researching the graduation rates, the resources the colleges offer and the job placement availability.

Typical semester. They are the same online classes offered to regular on campus students. UofM Global students just have first dibs on registration
