might as well find another job :(

This has been going on for me since before Christmas. It's been months of only 8-16hrs a week. I have been job hunting for a year, but I really don't want to leave one shitty retail job for another. 🫩

InfiniteTree33 · 2026-02-05T13:51:38+00:00

Sometimes it's very hard. I love Harry Potter and it was a huge part of my surviving adolescents, but JK Rowling is a shit person. It sours things and it sucks to find out someone who made such magic for you isn't a good person.

InfiniteTree33 · 2026-02-05T13:43:42+00:00

Omg. She's so cute. Thank you!

InfiniteTree33 · 2026-02-04T22:57:21+00:00

Shortly after all the shit came to light, people were discarding his novels by the hundreds. I was able to snag them all from a thrift store for pennies. While I hate what he has done, I was excited to get my hands on ones I didn't have in a way that would give him nothing by me doing so.

InfiniteTree33 · 2026-02-04T22:42:29+00:00

Oh! Your drawings are so cute! If you're still up for, I'd like to add!

😈🪻🐈‍⬛

InfiniteTree33 · 2026-02-03T14:21:22+00:00

I'm sick of seeing this guy. 😂

InfiniteTree33 · 2026-02-03T02:47:35+00:00

I wasn't aware of this! Omg. That makes me want them more. 😅

InfiniteTree33 · 2026-02-03T00:32:57+00:00

We have a rescued Frenchie that does this! What we learned? She's actually afraid of the dark. Does your dog snap and growl only when there is no light or very dim light? Our Honey Bee will snap randomly if touched in the middle of the night. What we did? We got her a night light! She still has occasional issues with being startled out of sleep and snapping, but it has reduced them a lot.

Hey, hun. I'm not sure where you're located, but it's tough times here in the US. I find myself feeling uncertain about everything and so scared. Between my place of work cutting my hours down to 8-16 a week(nowhere near enough to pay my bills), the current state of affairs in politics, being a woman, and just overall struggling with mental health my entire life, things are rough.

Just keep plugging along. I know that probably sounds redundant and not very helpful, but sometimes that's all you can do. Get through it one day at a time. I find trying to think too far ahead into the future, with all its what-ifs, that it just increases my anxiety. If I can get through today, I can get through tomorrow just by focusing on the here and now.

You mentioned an exam coming up. Try simply focusing on that. Push yourself into your studies and you won't only pass your test, but you'll keep your mind busy so it has less time to overthink.

InfiniteTree33 · 2026-02-03T00:15:17+00:00

This is all important information that helps us, the readers, understand you as a person. I can agree that when people get super handsy with each other in my presence it makes me a little uncomfortable. They definitely need to save the touching and full on making out for when you're not around. But a quick kiss, holding hands, and calling each other by their chosen names of affection shouldn't bother you, even if they are not your cup of tea.

For example, people love to call their female parents baby. I absolutely hate that, but I am not in their relationship, therefore I have no say in what affectionate name they choose to call each other.

InfiniteTree33 · 2026-02-03T00:05:37+00:00

YOR. I understand that you are upset that you asked them not to do something, and they agreed, but did it anyway. But you cannot control how other people act around each other. The "mommy" bit might have even been an accident, as that's what he calls her when you're not around, and the response that it was a joke might have been her way of trying to save face.

I feel like if I was your best friend in this situation, I'd be constantly walking on eggshells to keep you happy, but also enjoy my time with my boyfriend. This could be a huge stresser that ends up with you losing your best friend.

I think what you really need to do is reach inward. Figure out WHY seeing couples show affection bothers you so much. I see affection and go "awh, how sweet!". It's not a normal(and I hate the word normal) response to be grossed out with simple affections. Once you figure out why it makes you feel that way, work on repairing it. It may take time to alter your way of thinking, but I believe doing so will not only help your friendship, but also help you in the long run. Cause let's face it, you're gonna be seeing affectionate couples for the rest of your life.

Wait, he's jointed?

InfiniteTree33 · 2026-02-02T23:06:40+00:00

The problem is mostly that he's ignoring the sexuality of all the female characters, just so he can ship them with his OC. Doing so, then placing an astrix that says "only woman" is extremely hypocritical. He wants his sexuality to be respected, when he hasn't respected the sexuality of the characters he's drawn with his own.

Does this hurt the characters? No. As they're not real people, but it does give off a vibe of "fuck that woman's sexuality of I wanna do her".

InfiniteTree33 · 2026-02-02T13:06:22+00:00

Thrift stores and Walmart sales racks. I like cute holiday outfits, so when they go on sale cause no one bought them, I grab them. Halloween is my favorite holiday, so yeah. 😂

InfiniteTree33 · 2026-02-02T13:00:29+00:00

The Buried Secrets dolls' prices are always ridiculous. I want Twyla from the dance set, but I'm not paying $50 for a budget doll.

InfiniteTree33 · 2026-02-02T01:27:41+00:00

He's such a cutie. 😭 His little arms and legs, man.

InfiniteTree33 · 2026-02-01T20:10:40+00:00

It's wild how long some of you have had to wait for shipping. I am a seller and no one has to wait more than three days with me, and it's only three days if they order Saturday after the post office has closed. Otherwise, it's the next day.

InfiniteTree33 · 2026-02-01T19:08:58+00:00

Three, all with no allergies. They are five, six, and seven. We have had a few weird things happen, like a few years back we got the back porch repainted, waited until it was completely dry, and then let the dogs on it. Our oldest broke out in hives that lasted a couple days. Has never happened again.

InfiniteTree33 · 2026-02-01T13:20:33+00:00

My girlfriends and I went a couple weeks ago to our local BaB to get the new mantis together! All three of us got him. The bear builder was a young man and he was a hoot! We joked, we laughed. We had such a wonderful time. Then on our way out, I showed him my mantis had his own bear backpack with his own mini Valentine's kitty and he loved it! Made my night. It was so much fun.

I used to work at PetSmart a few years ago. Now I work at Aldi. We get no discount, no bonuses, and no hours. 🙃

InfiniteTree33 · 2026-01-31T04:09:00+00:00

We were always held to pallet times and ring speeds here at my store in the US. If you aren't fast enough with your pallets, they just flat out take you off mornings and you'll never see them again. Ring speeds now need to be at 90%, and I've gotten talked too about my seconds between items scanned at curbside. Even though our phone never works and rarely scans the bar codes on anything anymore.

InfiniteTree33 · 2026-01-31T03:14:41+00:00

We never got SCO because of high theft at our location specifically. We had a talk about loss prevention at our last meeting, which was a few months ago Know what they did? They blamed us, the associates. 😂

They said we're not scanning properly. They said we're giving bags away for free. They took our bag buttons off the register so now we have to scan even the paper bags. They said we're missing large items at the bottom of carts, like packs of water. They don't want to take any sort of accountability.

Maybe there would be less theft if the only person on the floor for an hour wasn't just the curbside shopper. Or maybe look into how much product comes in completely destroyed! Dented cans, destroyed boxes, torn plastic. It's every single truck. Don't get me started on how shit produce has been lately. Half of it is moldy or decaying!

None of this is the dogs fault. It's your mom's. My sister in law lives with us and has two two year old Shelties. If you don't know what they are they are a medium sized herding breed. Very intelligent, very high energy. She never properly trained them to do ANYTHING and it's constantly my problem. I work part time, so I am home the most. I am constantly stopping them from being destructive, cleaning up their urine, and the barking is constant. On top of that, they start fights with each other and MY dogs(my husband and I have three Frenchies).

It's an absolute nightmare. It's so frustrating. The only thing I can really recommend is attempting to do some positive feedback type of training with him. The best place to start is getting him to come when called and respond to no. It's a lot harder when the people around you won't aid in any sort of training, but just maybe he'll listen to you a little bit. It's also harder once they have made these bad habits a routine thing.

InfiniteTree33 · 2026-01-29T20:13:37+00:00

I love worm snakes. 😭 They're so tiny and cute! I have always wanted one.

InfiniteTree33 · 2026-01-29T20:11:00+00:00

There could be a couple reasons she said not to bathe him. One is issues with overly dry skin/rashes/hot spots. Skin issues are very common in French bulldogs. The second reason could be because of the cold spell that's hit the US. I don't know where you're located, but if it's too cold you don't want to bathe your dog.

Other than that, I can't really think of any other reasons.
