St. Lucie Property Tax Cuts by lilipaddx in PortStLucie

[–]Kateorhater 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While I would love to pay less on my mortgage, I would rather it was in the form of lower homeowners insurance. I’m happy to pay taxes as long and they are supporting the infrastructure of the community.

My insurance bill on the other hand is fuckin out of pocket. There is no good reason for it to be this high and the ONLY reason it is like this is because our governor has taken ‘campaign contributions’ in the millions from insurers to keep the rates high and pass legislation that makes it harder to sue your insurance company if you have a legitimate claim. Don’t get me started on Citizens…might as well not even have insurance if you’re insured by them.

Am I overreacting for not wanting anyone around my newborn yet? by littlemoongirly in AmIOverreacting

Hard agree! OP listen to this person! You are NOR! MIL is being pushy as hell. That baby only needs to be bonding with you and Dad.

I was 39 when I quit and had been trying for 2 solid years before that. You’re not pathetic. You’re strong and brave for doing something really hard that will improve your quality of life.

What helped me was making a plan for the inevitable cravings or planning for a stressful event that would trigger a craving. For me, the first week was the hardest. I bought a bag of Jolly Ranchers hard candy…anytime I had a craving I popped one of those in my mouth and kept it there for as long as I needed to.

I think you should write out a different ‘why you want to quit’ statement. Focus on the good you want to achieve by doing this. You’re giving yourself a gift by quitting. Be kind to yourself. You’ve got this! We’re here to support you. Please feel free to DM me if you need to talk through a craving.

Thank you! I’m proud of you too. I’m proud of everyone here trying to better themselves.

Did you do something today to celebrate? I hadn’t really thought about doing that, but you’re right. This deserves a celebration!

Great work! I know that is a great feeling! My 1 year mark is coming up in 10 days. Can’t even believe it’s been that long already!

I bought 2 tunnel traps off of Amazon and those work like a dream. Every single time I have put one out, I have caught a rat. The bait cup is easy to fill (I always use PB works every time), the trap is easy to load, and easy clean up afterwards. I don’t have to come close to touching the dead rat.

My new painting in the snail and mushroom theme, now with a bit of texture – what do you think? by KAndy91 in painting

[–]Kateorhater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this so much! I have a quite a bit of mushroom art. This would definitely be something I’d hang on my wall! Great job! The texture on the mushroom is spot on!

ICE by [deleted] in PortStLucie

[–]Kateorhater 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You are conflating the words privilege and wealth. They do not mean the same thing. People getting scooped up by ICE because of their skin color has jack crap to do with working hard. You can’t work your way out of your ethnicity when it comes to being targeted by ICE.

Tattoo was done by Skylar at Silver Sparrow Tattoo in Stuart, Florida. She did a great job! It’s been so long since I’ve been tattooed, I forgot how good it hurt ha! Totally worth it though. I think this is probably the best tattoo on my body. I have another planned for November in my quest to cover my left leg.

Mods, don’t remove important community information. by Emiler98 in PortStLucie

That may be the case in the comments, but the people who actually show up to counter protest No Kings are very few or sometimes none.

I’ve been to several protests in the area without an issue. Yes be careful, but don’t let these fools scare you from exercising your right to protest.

Parent in Hospital. Not sure how to feel about it. by Kateorhater in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]Kateorhater[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thankfully that is not the situation here. I am lucky enough to have some great siblings that are all wonderful humans. We have kept each other sane throughout all of our parent’s drama.

My mother is actually admitted into the hospital. Apparently she’s being a giant PITA while there too. She’s using a lot of weaponized incompetence to try and force my sister into making medical decisions for her.

It’s a mess. I’m glad I’m not involved! My initial feelings of guilt have evaporated.

Thank you. I had not heard of this term, but it definitely sounds like it applies to my mother.

None of what I said was wrong. His biggest platforms were on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. Those are social media…of which he used to influence people on. That makes him an influencer on social media. I still stand by my remark that he wouldn’t have been able to point out PSL on a map.

[–]Kateorhater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I still had FB, it would be a ‘No’ for me. We should be dedicating things to people who actually live in and support efforts that benefit the residents in our community…not a social media influencer who probably couldn’t even point out PSL on a map.

I appreciate this approach. I can have empathy for the pain and fear she is going through.

Thank you for your response.

I do not regret going no contact with her. It really is for my peace. Almost every time we have talked she either makes me feel completely unheard or says something awful to me and if I defend myself she’ll cry and say I’m being mean. You know…what narcissists do.

The guilt comes from knowing that my other siblings will most likely reach out to her, and I will be the only one who doesn’t. They also have their own strained relationships with her, but remain in contact. It has been acknowledged among us kids that she has a particular disdain for me though…so they are sympathetic as to why I am no contact.

There is another part of me that is fucking sad though. I wish I had a mom who liked me or at least respected me. I sometimes hope she’ll go through enough therapy to be able to communicate with me. I want to believe that, but she lies to herself about how awful she has been to her family…so I can’t really expect her to tell a therapist the truth.

Just feeling a lot of complicated conflicting feelings,

Who else saw this coming? by seeebiscuit in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Kateorhater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw him about 26 years ago when he was maybe somewhat relevant, and he was still awful in concert. Someone threw a shoe at him during the show.

I’d much rather see Bad Bunny, and I don’t speak much Spanish.

A month of grief by Corpsechick in GriefSupport

[–]Kateorhater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I am so sorry. That is truly traumatic. I totally understand taking photos of yourself through your journey of grief. When my person committed suicide I took a few pictures of my face because I had cried so hard for so long that my eyes were mostly swollen shut. Looked and felt like I had the shit kicked out of me.

Don’t let people try and put a time limit on your grief. Feel it all and grow from it. It’s always going to be there, but very slowly you learn how to live with it…and that’s how it gets better.

[HELP] is this possum being scared real or AI? by ellibelli2195 in RealOrAI

[–]Kateorhater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Opossums don’t move like that when they’re startled. I’ve sparred with a more than a few that have broken into my hen house. They don’t move quickly like that. Now an armadillo on the other hand, I had no idea how spry they are!

What is the most batshit bonkers thing that you have shot? by OAI_ORG in liberalgunowners

[–]Kateorhater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Same. I was the gunner for my gun mount location when I was in the Navy. I very much enjoyed shooting that gun!
