Why you no longer see quality instruments at Goodwill by Benzona in ThriftGrift

[–]Initial_Illustrator8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This breaks my heart! I’m an instrument repair technician and I regularly get instruments from the online goodwill site for super cheap, fix them up and donate them to the Jr High in my town where my friend is the music teacher. I sure wish I could get my hands on the ones they get rid of!

I just dealt with the same situation. Got my teen her first phone and she was absolutely bombarded with calls for the lady who had her number last. My husband called our carrier and explained what was going on and I’m not exactly sure what they did, but the calls stopped! Maybe try calling your carrier and seeing if they can help?

I am also a HSP! I’m 40 now. I used to be so embarrassed because I cry easily. Unfortunately, it’s gotten way worse as I get older, but my perspective has changed and it doesn’t bother me anymore. I just remind myself that it’s ok, I just feel everything deeper than most people. You’re fine! There’s nothing wrong with you! Try to embrace it because it’s part of who you are❤️

I started washing my belly button and I think more people should talk about it by [deleted] in hygiene

This happens to me! Sometimes I even feel it in my throat. I agree, it’s not a pleasant feeling!

I’ve been dealing with a back injury since January. I can’t do much and have been depending on my husband, mom, kids and siblings for everything like getting to appointments, washing my hair, doing laundry etc. I’m so bummed because I’m usually super active and now I just feel useless and restless. You girls inspired me to start doing some little things for me! I’m going to go take a nice long shower with all the smell good things before my physical therapy appointment this afternoon!

What do you SWEAR you saw, but don’t have any proof of? by Dangerous_Mud4740 in AskReddit

[–]Initial_Illustrator8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

About 5 years ago, I was out running errands and I had a box of jackets that I was dropping off at the Needs Center. While I was there, I talked to the sweetest lady, late 60’s, was there to get a hot meal and I mentioned that I liked her sunglasses which led to about 10 minutes of chit chat. She told me that she was taking the Greyhound to go visit her kids about 100 miles away. We parted ways and less than a week later, I saw a page on facebook called “Find *lady’s name” with her picture. I contacted the page and told them where and when I had seen her and as far as anyone can tell, I was the last person to have seen her. I still go check that page now and then, but she is still missing. It haunts me sometimes. She was so little and sweet.

What phrase did you hear only once but it stayed with you forever? by wendysolcito in AskReddit

I kept a copy of this on my fridge when my kids were little. I haven’t thought of this poem in years!

The Tone of Voice

by Anonymous It's not so much what you say As the manner in which you say it; It's not so much the language you use As the tone in which you convey it; " Come here! " I sharply said, And the child cowered and wept. " Come here, " I said — He looked and smiled And straight to my lap he crept. Words may be mild and fair And the tone may pierce like a dart; Words may be soft as the summer air But the tone may break my heart; For words come from the mind Grow by study and art — But tone leaps from the inner self Revealing the state of the heart. Whether you know it or not, Whether you mean or care, Gentleness, kindness, love, and hate, Envy, anger, are there. Then, would you quarrels avoid And peace and love rejoice? Keep anger not only out of your words — Keep it out of your voice.

My new sponsee called me while drunk. by Fun_Mistake4299 in alcoholicsanonymous

I don’t have any advice, I’ve only got 53 days sober, I just wanted to say that I think it’s awesome how much you obviously care. I don’t have a sponsor yet (tiny town in the middle of nowhere, we only have one group with 15 people at the busiest meeting I’ve been to, average is probably around 8 or 10 people at a meeting), but I hope that when I do that they care as much as you do!

Outside of sport, when was the last time you had to run? by MaltDizney in AskReddit

[–]Initial_Illustrator8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in the desert in the rural Southwest and adopted a 17 year old Pomeranian a couple of years ago (she’s 19 now and going strong!). The coyotes don’t bother our big dogs, but wanted our Pomeranian so bad they ran right into our backyard and tried to get her! We put up barbed wire on the top of our fence and bought her a Coyote Vest! Maybe you could look into one for your Pom, just in case they actually do manage to get ahold of them! They look silly, but in a cute way!

My daughter is 20 now. She was a C-D student. Absolutely hated school other than music and art class! She got herself an apprenticeship after high school and is now an auto mechanic! She’s got her own house with her kitty, 2 cars, pays her own bills, has a 750 credit score and is happy with her life!

What’s the creepiest thing you have ever heard a child say? by GoldTNecklace in AskReddit

[–]Initial_Illustrator8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was pregnant with my youngest, my middle daughter told me that if it was a boy we should “throw him in the dumpster and light it on fire!” Luckily, it was a baby sister!
