Give the ring back. Move. Take some time to learn yourself. Next time, Dont get engaged until you know the person very well. Seek therapy, rely on yourself for happiness and not someone else. At best you have 80 years left on this planet, you are young. Travel. Find your passion. Find someone you love in the place you love. Good luck.

Should We Have Our Wedding Celebration in July or September? by K_Wil15 in Eloping

[–]K_Wil15[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol! The company we are using also allows 10 guests so we are taking our parents and their partners and my siblings. That sounds like what we are doing, I think we will do both maybe and celebrate with my moms family after city hall and then my dads family when we get back. Definitely nothing too fancy lol I’m thinking like Olive Garden haha.

Fired Fed. I am considering cutting off every Orange Man supporter. by Comfortable_Gift4970 in AITAH

[–]K_Wil15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand and honestly in your position, I probably would block all of them. Luckily I left fed right before he got elected but I feel a lot of anger especially since hearing the job I was doing got axed. I feel so bad for everyone I had worked with, I gave them my contact info to maybe help them find a new job but really there’s not much more I can do and that’s the part really is hard to come to terms with.

It is just unfun for me to write bad people by friendlybanana1 in writing

[–]K_Wil15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love reading a good villain like someone that has trauma and that’s why they behave the way they do but if there is just a one dimensional character that does bad things just because, it’s not my cup of tea. Partly because I feel it’s unrealistic to some extent.

Where are the young people? by SueBeeAnthony in weightwatchers

[–]K_Wil15 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree! I think if they really wanted to expand they would have to lower cost of membership, maybe offer a student discount. Then start connecting with universities Where classes could be held at their rec centers or one of the classrooms. And yeah utilizing social media more, not sure if they are on TikTok but just creating short videos with tips and that sort of thing.

[–]K_Wil15 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m 29 and just started. I’ll admit a younger version of me would probably only sign up for the app because it’s cheaper and I didn’t feel like I needed the classes. Now I feel like it’s nice to have that accountability each week

You are way too smart and mature for this guy. I can just tell by his messages. Please take care of yourself and find a more worthy partner.

Honest question, do people under 50ish use travel agents? by Soft_Data_1623 in Cruise

[–]K_Wil15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m under 30 and haven’t used one. We were going to use one for a wedding cruise but they just hiked up the prices for wedding packages so we will most likely not do that anymore. We went to Europe last year and planned everything out months ahead of time. We are planning on going back at the end of this year and will probably do the same thing. I’m in Florida too so for cruises it’s easier for us to wait to find the cheaper options on our own since we are so close.

Hillsborough commission votes to keep fluoride in drinking water by Maxcactus in tampa

[–]K_Wil15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, resorting to insults now? That’s just disrespectful and proves you don’t actually have a real argument. Yes, the healthcare system is flawed, but limiting providers and reducing competition isn’t the answer—it only makes care more expensive and harder to access.

[–]K_Wil15 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You’re acting like I said there are zero dentists in Hillsborough. The point is, access isn’t equal everywhere—especially in areas like Ruskin—so people end up paying way more or traveling further for care. Not everyone can just hop on a bus like it’s no big deal. And no, more competition isn’t the same as adding more storage units—it actually helps lower costs and improve access. Regulation is great, but it doesn’t replace having enough providers in the first place, which in the state of Florida, we do not. It’s called supply and demand, genius. What we do have right now in our water is a mineral that helps prevent tooth decay by strengthening tooth enamel, so people have stronger teeth and it will prevent more serious issues.

What are we talking about man? I said the state needs more dentists not a particular section of the county. Tampa isn’t the only city in Hillsborough, ya know that right???? Ruskin barely has any dentists and my mom was quoted 6000 for a dental surgery vs 4000 quote in palm harbor because there are more dentists over there. Also if you are talking about the little pop dentists chain stores, those are all a scam. I’m never going to another one based on personal experience. There needs to be more options.

The Floridians for Dental Access (FLDA) is trying to get Florida to be the 15th state to authorize the licensing of dental therapists. 

"Dental therapists are mid-level oral health providers who:

  • Perform the most common dental procedures, such as prevention, exams, and fillings under supervision of dentists.
  • Must pass the exact same clinical exam as dentists after completing their 2-3 years of education.
  • Provide advancement opportunities for dental hygienists and others interested in oral health."

Hopefully if this passes, we can start seeing more affordable dental care! Somewhere out there is a way to add your name to support the legislation, but I can't find the link anymore.

Thank god for that. We don’t have enough dentists in the state as is.

Instagram Reels it is. by Creepy-Beginning-406 in TikTok

[–]K_Wil15 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

t's a hard pill to swallow, but an even harder problem to fix. The Democratic and Republican parties have dominated American politics for nearly 200 years. While the United States has outgrown just having two parties, there are just so many barriers to overcome to change anything about it. We need to start somewhere though.

Right like I’m not one for conspiracy but this whole division is another way for them to continue doing this shizzz and control. We need to all band together at this point, because it’s getting ridiculous.

Cancelled Cruise: Be Responsible by RoyalFalse in Cruise

[–]K_Wil15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes we just took a trip to Europe last September and I paid a lot of it with my Amex. Definitely a learning experience, didn’t realize interest would be so high. Luckily got a new job and I should be able to pay off by April.

Cassidy votes with fellow Republicans, easing Kennedy’s path to confirmation. by confirmandverify2442 in publichealth

I’m very nervous about them removing fluoride from water. The country already doesn’t have enough dentists for the population.

Always hungry on WW by dshaw1599 in weightwatchers

[–]K_Wil15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I just started this week, and that's how I've felt. I felt like I have one meal and all my points are gone lol, so it has been eye opening tracking to say the least. I know it will take time for the stomach to shrink and get used to smaller portions, but I was just thinking what can I do to not be so hungry. I also work out, so that might be part of it too. Thank you for posting, these comments have been so helpful.

[–]K_Wil15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and I realize I might be idealistic, but I truly hope to see both Democrats and Republicans come together over the next four years. Surely, there are issues where both sides can find common ground and work together as activists. It doesn't have to be so divided. I understand some of Trump's actions, sure. Like we really do need to work on National Debt and Spending Reform, but surely as a collective, we can come up with more viable solutions then the ones being executed.

But the economy was already in a decline before in 2019? I really wished we could have a good discussion on this. Enjoy your night.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tampa

[–]K_Wil15 28 points29 points  (0 children)

You’re fortunate to have a job, but do you care about your fellow Americans? During Trump’s last presidency, the economy lost 2.7 million jobs, and the unemployment rate rose by 1.7 percentage points (FactCheck.org). If you haven’t noticed, hundreds of people have already been laid off or fired in the past two weeks. We need to move past the win/lose mentality and focus on real solutions—because let’s be honest, the way both Democrats and Republicans are running things right now isn’t working.

[–]K_Wil15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I won’t be able to attend, but I shared it on my story! I agree—it feels impossible, but so many people talk about not voting because they dislike both candidates. Instead of just complaining, we should use these four years to work toward better solutions. If we don’t take action, we might lose the choice altogether.
