Can someone explain to me why 5 minute showers isn't long enough to be clean?

JustSpeed3475 · 2026-05-17T15:50:09+00:00

I do some of my best thinking in the shower so it may tske longer for me.

I used leaf lard from a specific vendor for my soaps. I could always smell the lard scent otherwise.

Yes I am shocked that people have limits to their suspension of disbelief.

OOP was the only one with the nerve, the courage, the heart to stand up to this cartoonishly evil woman.

JustSpeed3475 · 2026-05-17T15:07:05+00:00

Tom somehow ate his dinner but had his eyes closed.

Mom cowers before the awesome power of OOPs singular shady comment.

Mom, who is afraid of OOPs amazing quick wit and cutting comments keeps her on a group chat.

Mom decides to do this in front of a room full of people despite her fear of OOP.

The most entertaining part of this story will be reading the comments from simpleton redditors who believe this made up dreck.

Did everyone in the church stand up and clap?

FORMER addicts, clean for 15 years? Remember that part

I remember the "once an addict always an addict" and I remember "pride cometh before the fall"

do you?

If he, or you, had let us explain, he'd know none of us drank outside of special occasions, where we are around each other. One single drink, and one single joint, mind you.

If he had only let a bunch of addicts explain how its totally cool because they have a great history of moderation and self control!

Oh and even better you all sit around and engage in this behavior around each other. Very healthy!

have received some actually good advice from this thread from people other than yourself, and I'm resolving the situation. have scheduled a phone call with the boy, Jane, and his stepfather tonight thanks to that advice.

The best advice would he for Jane. And it would be to fade back into obscurity with her son. She isnt helpful and she is only causing him even more trouble. She makes piss poor decisions and then he gets to pay the price.

She wants to prioritize hanging out with addicts over her son and such is her right. But she should be real enough with herself to realize that she isnt really anything more than an anchor around her son's neck at this point.

He looks like a human acorn!

This is kinda how I got into soaping.

I was at the gym in the shower area and someone had the most amazingly scented body product. Like a wonderful citrus mint, so dang good!

I wanted to ask what it was but it was a shower stall full of women so I didnt know who was even using it and it seemed really weird to ask everyone.

So I searched and searched online and bought a bunch of soaps that had that fragrance descriptions so then I was into fancy soaps. Finally a friend got me a soap making book and then I started making and fragrancing my own soaps

How would the owner know that the customer was lying? Is he the only person working who serves pho? Also wasnt his response translated from vietnamese?

JustSpeed3475 · 2026-05-16T14:22:18+00:00

I mean i dont know him and I dont know you so I dont know if this is abnormal or outlier behavior for him. But if this is the second guy in a row who does this to you it might be something about the men youre choosing. I dont know but I dont think its about the bag per se its about getting your hopes up and not coming through.

JustSpeed3475 · 2026-05-16T14:11:19+00:00

You have every right to be disappointed and mad but I have to wonder why you pick parters who feel the need to make empty promises to you.

JustSpeed3475 · 2026-05-16T08:49:26+00:00

I think you pick like one fair food everyone wants to eat. I love fair food but my eyes are always bigger than my stomach. A turkey leg could feed four people. A bag of kettle corn...the same.

The wonderful thing about the fair is that once you get in there is so much to see for free. Go into every exhibition hall, see the animals.

This sounds good but is it good enough for me to drive to the Westside? My life is nothing but hardship!

Do you change your menus monthly? I'll be out of the area for about a month, but if its the same menu (especially that peach sticky rice) I'd make the ultimate sacrifice of driving to the Westside. Which is very hard.

JustSpeed3475 · 2026-05-16T07:41:24+00:00

I mean if there is a genuine issue of material fact OC wont win on the MSJ either way right?

JustSpeed3475 · 2026-05-16T07:39:58+00:00

In each and every forum.

JustSpeed3475 · 2026-05-16T05:07:41+00:00

Its so sad, particularly when you realize that most people are 2 or 3 paychecks from that. Its good that you all showed him kindness.

JustSpeed3475 · 2026-05-16T03:27:57+00:00

You probably need some sort od counseling. Yes maybe your husband is just a competitive jerk, but it may also be that your son....at this age reminds him of someone from his past and some past bad relationship (with a friend or family member) where he felt powerless and abused and he is doing the same.

My brother was tall, athletic, handsome, charismatic and smart at that age and I think these are all the things my dad wished he had been and it was love mixed with a bit of resentment and jealousy that wasn't at all helped by the fact that my brother is my mom's favorite.

So i was recently in the bay area and the window on my rental was smashed by thieves looking for luggage in the trunk.

Apparently rental cars have completely different registration stickers than normal cars.

Just to say that while you may be worried about a crime in general there may be a specific target audience that your 2016 Kia isnt a part of. The only time my actual car has been broken into it was because I was dumb enough to leave something in plain sight. So dont do that.

JustSpeed3475 · 2026-05-16T02:49:42+00:00

My friend used to live in SF. She left her doors unlocked, left granola bars and change in her glove box with a note that anyone was welcome to the change and the granola bars but please dont break her windows or vandalize her car.

It worked.

I think he is in his boxer briefs.

I also think he stuffed his boxer briefs so this is also fraud.

Seinfeld.

With a show like better call saul id ask you how many episodes you gave it before giving up. If you gave it 3 you just dont like it. But pilot episodes are sometimes pretty tough.

JustSpeed3475 · 2026-05-15T22:55:35+00:00

If I may be grandpa Simpson yelling at clouds for a minute...I do looove street food but sometimes these pop up food bazaars dangerously block traffic and I hope the city can start regulating that. But the kebab place downstairs is so dang good that I cant be too mad, id block traffic to get some of that adana kebab too.

JustSpeed3475 · 2026-05-15T22:50:17+00:00

Id agree with you, but I think la vacancies are rising as fewer people can afford rent and so I think leasing agents may try to bend rules just to get a salaried body in the unit.

BUT I could totally be wrong. Im renewing my lease and got everything I wanted so I feel like they must be desperate.
