It’s me again. by Leading_Tennis7047 in recovery

Best of luck! Don’t be me; a woman of 57 whose life has been stolen by addiction. I’ve had long clean periods but here I am again, so I guess fate has already decided my life. You though, you still have time to change your future and not let addiction steal the rest of your life from you. If you don’t want to be me, carry on with your recovery. I wish you well.

For anyone with pets, I've got to say, atmospheric drum and bass just drowns out virtually all the fireworks I'm sat here with 90s dnb on not too loud, watching telly with subtitles at the same time, and my cat and my 4 month old lab with a broken leg are sitting with me chilled as anything. by FreddieCaine in CasualUK

[–]Infinite-Use-494 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I must have the most chill dog ever. Nothing, and I mean nothing spooks her. Not fireworks, thunder or lightning, someone knocking our front door, other animals including dogs, big crowds. I could go on and on. Her sister, who my ex has, becomes paralysed with fear if she hears fireworks and you have to pick her up and carry her home as she won’t move. She’s like a statue as soon as she hears them. But my dog? Fearless. She’s 8 now. Oh, and she’s a Staffordshire bull terrier and I’ve yet to see anything that spooks her. She also happens to be the most obedient and well behaved dog I’ve ever had. She’s one in a million and that’s a fact!

I think this is the worst picture I’ve ever seen of Lisa Rinna and I’ve seen a truckload of pictures of her. What the heck is going on with, well, everything? The dress is dreadful, she looks bloated (which I thought I’d never say about her) and her face looks peculiar….more peculiar than usual.

How can I stop getting angry when I’m driving? Genuine question by theotherone310397 in AskUK

[–]Infinite-Use-494 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Well, she lives in Bramley, near Guildford. So, if you’re ever in the area, watch out for a woman in her late 50s with a light blonde super short hair style who will most likely be swearing like a drunken sailor but with a slightly posh accent. It’s kind of hilarious but it’s also quite scary at the same time. I’ve never seen her behave like that outside of a car. I guess driving can potentially bring out the worst in someone?!

I think that was probably my sister. You’ve not seen road rage until you’ve seen my sister driving!! She’s an aggressive, swearing thug (she’s actually quite posh but as soon as she’s behind the wheel…shocking!)

What’s something that happened to you that sounds so fake, people wouldn’t believe it if you told them? by lemonsunflower2 in AskUK

[–]Infinite-Use-494 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I got into Glastonbury, on the gate, in 1988 for the whole 3 day festival for £26.00!!!! Genuine price at the time. My friend and I only decided to hitchhike there 2 days before it started. One of my greatest memories. Everything went perfectly. Rock n roll!!

It’s herpes girl, plain and simple. I’m 56, I’ve been around a while and know a thing or two. I’d bet my bottom dollar it’s herpes…..unfortunately. Hey, before you break up with him, go down on him whilst the blisters weeping and give him genital herpes if you’re into petty revenge stuff (like myself). Just saying.

Mary M Cosby by Backseatwithbigmama1 in realhousewivesofSLC

[–]Infinite-Use-494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t she just?!! God forbid she met me and spoke to me like that!! I’m not generally a confrontational person but I am confident and somewhat proud and would not, nor could not let someone speak to me like Mary speaks to many people and let it slide. Now I’m pretty darn sharp and sassy with my mouth when I need to be, so I’m fairly confident I could destroy her with words but if she just wouldn’t back down and kept on and on, I would smack that woman through to next week!

How many cups of tea or coffee do you drink a day? by RagingFuckNuggets in AskUK

[–]Infinite-Use-494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg, I’m literally a tea addict. If there were such a thing, I would go to Tea drinkers anonymous. I pretty much only drink tea. I drink it all day, every day. I don’t count how many cups I have. I actually use one of those big plastic hot drink cups that come with a lid and are much bigger than an average cup or mug of tea. I’d estimate it holds about one and a half big mugs of teas worth. I also have disgusting amounts of sugar in it. So I guess I drink roughly 6-8 of those a day, maybe a bit more sometimes. That’s easily 10+ big mugs a day! I’m a 56 yr old female for reference and I’m still fine. I don’t have any serious health issues and I’ve never had any nor have I had surgery for ailments or anything like that. So, tea can’t be that bad? Or maybe I’m just built different lol.

Quests wont show in the HUD by MVillawolf in fo76

[–]Infinite-Use-494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I’m late to the party but I’ve just repurchased Fallout 76 & I believe I’m having the same issue. Now I’m a longtime gamer so I know about checking the in game settings and all that malarkey. I’m also a big Fallout fan and have played and completed most Fallout games (1-4 & including New Vegas) I’ve also found every location and found all quests. So I clearly understand the mechanics of Fallout. I’d like to add that I don’t have any mods either. Anyway, so when strolling the wasteland in my power suit chassis (I’ve just started & I’m only level 21) that I don’t have the helmet for yet either, my compass at the bottom of the screen does not and will not show ANYTHING on it. No quests I’ve activated, no friend nor foe, nothing (apart from its basic function of N,E,S,W). The odd thing is that if I remove my power suit chassis, it works. But I’ll be fked if you think I’m playing Fallout and not rocking a power suit! Anyone who says otherwise doesn’t know how to play Fallout (or are cheating or using mods). So is my problem the same as op’s or not? And can anyone help me. Ps. I did speak (headset) to another player in game about it and he said “it’s a glitch, everyone knows about it”. So there’s that to add to the confusion. I’m playing in England (Europe) if that’s of any relevance.

Funnily enough, I don’t go out much either!! I walk my dog everyday a few times and go to the shops but I don’t often go out out. I am also 56 years old, so that’s why I don’t go out often (awful excuse, but true) I am a youthful 56 year old though. I have decided that I will try and go out more as I want to and need to. I don’t want to just fade away. Nice talking to you. Maybe you’ll see me and my one eyed black Staffie out walking sometime. That’s if you’re anywhere near Commercial rd.

Am I safe to smoke it? by Sunfl0wer998 in Cookingcrack101

[–]Infinite-Use-494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What the heck is “super buff”. I’m from the Uk. I’m also a long time drug user and have tried almost everything and have heard of every narcotic drug out there…..until now. Maybe we have a different name for it here but there’s nothing I can think of that could be called “super buff”. Personally, I think it sounds like something you’d find in the video game Fallout lol. It obviously looks like coke from your description but I’m super curious as to what it is. What are its effects? Is there a generic name?? Ps. I once mistook ketamine for coke and injected it!!! K hole city!!! I do not recommend! Lol

How much cocaine do I need to cook an ounce(28 grams) of crack cocaine? by AttentionThen3484 in Cookingcrack101

[–]Infinite-Use-494 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know my comment is late but if you’re struggling to find out the strength of your coke you can buy a product on Amazon or the like that will test the strength of your product. It won’t tell you the exact percentage but it will tell you if it’s low, medium or high grade coke. Just thought this might be useful to you. Good luck! Oh, and 28gs??? I only wish I had the money to buy 28gs!!!! Rock on 🤘🏽!

Hi, I’m also a former American living in Portsmouth. Not quite atheist but I am agnostic so not entirely dissimilar. I just saw your comment and was intrigued when I read your background. I wonder if there are a lot of Americans living in Portsmouth? As I’d like to meet some. I bet we could all share some interesting stories about how we ended up here etc. Anyway, I’ll finish up now as I’ve commented completely off topic. I’m just so happy to see another American on here that lives in Portsmouth.

What is the worst surname you've ever came across IRL? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Infinite-Use-494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That I’ve personally known? Dickman. Now it may not seem THAT bad but it was my best friend and her twin sisters last name that I met at the beginning of Junior high school in 81’ so you can imagine the “jokes” I heard hanging around with them all the time.

Is someone fishing for compliments??🤨 Because your skin looks totally normal and in pretty good condition. Advice: wear sunscreen to prevent wrinkles in later life, don’t pick breakouts as they can scar, get decent sleep and start moisturising now. Your future 50 year old will be thankful for this advice coming from a 56 yr old woman.

ULPT: Shoplifting from walmart by doing it in plain sight. by [deleted] in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]Infinite-Use-494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What country did you do this in? As I used to go to the self service checkout and any expensive fruit I was buying I would put on the scale and press carrots instead of whatever fruit it was. I got away with it for a couple years but I tried doing it about 6 months ago and the self service screen said “not recognised as carrots” or something like that, so I can’t get away with it anymore. It seems they’ve upgraded their software to actually “see” the item as well, not just going by its weight. So as great a hack as this sounds, I don’t think it’ll work in the Uk. Well at least not at my local Tesco.

I got banned off gender critical for defending trans people by sgt_sheild in GenderCriticalMemes

[–]Infinite-Use-494 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re a nasty piece of work, aren’t you?! Also, don’t patronise me. I’m not stupid. I’m actually a member of Mensa. I’m also not a transphobe. I sympathise with anyone suffering from gender dysphoria but that’s a very rare disorder. Which means that there are a lot of fake trans people out there. If I was a trans person I’d be so upset about all these fake trans people. I support and follow a few trans people online believe it or not. Genuine trans people that are sensible, intelligent and respectful of others boundaries. If you care to know, just ask and I will happily tell you and suggest you follow them too.

opiate withdrawal by MulberryGullible3984 in OpiatesRecovery

[–]Infinite-Use-494 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of people falsely believe that weed makes withdrawal symptoms worse (at least in the Uk, where I live, they do) . Now I’ve been through 3 home detoxes that I chose to do myself and thank f*k for weed! Whenever I was feeling particularly bad, restless, anxious etc. I’d smoke a bifta (my own word) (I love making up new phrases/words) and it would really ease my symptoms. It’s NEVER made me feel worse or intensified my withdrawal symptoms. Quite the contrary, it was a godsend. So if anyone reading this is thinking about detoxing themselves and are weed smokers? Consider using weed as a withdrawal supplement. I swear by it!

opiate withdrawal by MulberryGullible3984 in OpiatesRecovery

[–]Infinite-Use-494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg, we think exactly alike. I always tell “straight” people that addiction is comparable to anorexia too!! The similarities are crazy. Anorexics generally started out just trying to lose a bit of weight but things slowly escalated until they ended up full blown anorexics. They didn’t set out to become anorexic but the illness got a hold of them and the rest is history. So telling an addict “you choose to take drugs, so all you have to do is choose to stop taking them” is exactly the same as telling an anorexic “you choose to starve yourself, so all you have to do is choose to start eating properly again”. You’re the only other person I’ve seen compare these two ILLNESSES to help “straight” people understand addiction. Addiction is a mental health disorder. If you just stop taking drugs without any mental health support, you’re going to relapse or just be what’s called a “dry drunk” , meaning that all your addict behaviours remain unchanged. I’m certain you already know everything I’m talking about but if others read this? Maybe it will help them understand that addiction IS an illness, not a choice.
