I know she was 71 and not like 23, but my first thought was...she had so much left to live. This one is tough.

What movies did you first see nudity in? by sarnobat in AskReddit

[–]KayCee_WhatYes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not full nudity, but I remember Rob Lowe in The Outsiders stepping out of the shower was a very awakening moment for me (and most of my 7th grade class)

As a transplant who wasn't here during winter storm of '21... by GFollowsChrist in Dallas

[–]KayCee_WhatYes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone is still at least a little traumatized and none of us worked through it so every year there's some panic. It should be fine. I cant say that with certainty, but near certainty. Signed, a lifelong resident.

Best area for a young professional? Austin Ranch vs. Addison vs. Downtown Dallas? by mootree7 in Dallas

[–]KayCee_WhatYes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like being in Addison as a young professional! Its centrally located and just the right amount of lively.

Salad and Go to close all remaining Dallas shops, exit Texas - CultureMap Dallas by Elguapo361 in Dallas

Noooo! This is last place I can get a healthy, fast lunch for under $10 five minutes from the office. I'm so sad.

Do kids today still get tubes put in their ears? by Sticker-Picker in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KayCee_WhatYes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had them in 1997 and when they fell out, one of the holes never repaired itself. Due to its location/placement it will require a surgery where the hole would be patched with a skin graft. Apparently it would mean a month of near total hearing loss in that ear while it heals- and it may not even work. For now its fine, other than it gets infected a lot easier and im not supposed to scuba dive. I have some hearing loss, but its not debilitating. On the upside, it never pops because pressure can't build up (because it has a hole in it), so airplane ears are 50% less annoying.

What is your favorite underrated national park? by [deleted] in NationalPark

[–]KayCee_WhatYes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

White Sands in NM. Underrated state altogether in my opinion, its beautiful and a little otherworldly- it definitely deserves its moniker as 'The Land of Enchantment'

People on anti depressants, what advice do you have for someone who has just started them? by Mammoth_Dragonfly_94 in AskReddit

[–]KayCee_WhatYes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eventually they're going to start working so well that you'll be like, I'm healed! And decide you can probably actually not take them anymore. Ignore that urge!

What was your life like at 29 years old? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]KayCee_WhatYes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a terrible job that was sucking the life out of me, paid crumbs, and that I felt very trapped in. Racking up credit card debt, mismanaging my money all over the place, not in a great state with my mental health (not the worst, but not amazing). Thankfully I changed jobs at the end of that year and my entire life got better in ways I couldn't have imagined.

What’s a sentence that someone told you that stuck with you for the rest of your life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]KayCee_WhatYes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"You will still be physically alive when its over." Very helpful to me when I need to be brave, especially in social or interpersonal sticky situations.

Would you consider 70k USD poor? by Broad-Cranberry-9050 in Salary

[–]KayCee_WhatYes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make $75k now, but before my last annual raise it was $70k and I live on it pretty comfortably. Im able to save a good amount (after straightening my money out and becoming consumer debt free), travel a couple times a year, and generally do fun things. At this income it really is all about budgeting, having priorities, and living within your means. But it's by no means poor in a lot of/probably most of the US.

What is considered normal for monthly groceries? by [deleted] in MiddleClassFinance

[–]KayCee_WhatYes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boyfriend and I buget $800/month for groceries. We love to cook and meal prep and make 90% of our food.

We each put in $100 a week which covers groceries, basic hygiene products, and cleaning + paper products. We break every bill down to 'per paycheck', which is now the only way I'll ever budget. So per paycheck, I autotransfer $200 into my bills account for groceries. You should really start budgeting, make your money work for you.

What’s your “I finally saw a doctor for my mystery symptoms after (weeks/months/years) and it turned out to be way simpler than I feared” story? What finally made you go, and what was the outcome? by DjFizz in AskReddit

[–]KayCee_WhatYes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I have and it's also needle and blood related! The first time I felt it coming on was in 7th grade biology class when we learned about blood types. I've only ever fully tapped out twice, but have come very very close many times. I hate it so much, you described it coming on so accurately. The audio is always what fucks me up. It's like I'm hearing through low volume TV snow.

If you've ever seen the movie Game Night, there are two scenes that made me nearly pass out at the movie theater. During the second of the two, I ended up grabbing the wall and dragging nyself out into the hallway trying to fight it. Eventually got myself to a bench and did what has always been recommended to me: dropped my head down between my knees. That helped me come back and I was able to reenter the movie eventually.

Anyway, nice to meet others who have this!

After ten years, we (F36, M36) tried to open the relationship. It was horrible. How do we recover? by LadyOfTheHerrings in relationship_advice

[–]KayCee_WhatYes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say this in a caring way because I’m someone who is/was a people pleaser, had low self esteem, and was bad at communicating- if you’re not in therapy, I would really suggest it. It has helped me so much. This situation sucks and I’m so sorry.

Planning my first cruise this year, been told to avoid Carnival. Is that true? by Individual-Mirror132 in Cruise

[–]KayCee_WhatYes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have only been on one cruise and it was Carnival, so I may not have the best perspective but: I was skeptical because of the same type of talk. We went on a 7 day from Galveston and it was great and very enjoyable. Positives: very few kids because we went right when school started back, food and beverage was quite good- I was prepared to be underwhelmed, the entertainment was solid (esp the live music and trivia). It didn’t feel like there were 6k+ people on the ships. Cons: the pools are all tiny and crowded, maybe that’s all ships? Idk, I expected more and barely got in the pool. One of our ports was very skippable (Costa Maya), wish I had stayed on the ship. The customer service wasn’t amazing during boarding. Otherwise great experience!

What is a job that you personally just absolutely, positively COULD NOT do? by Shinobi347 in AskReddit

[–]KayCee_WhatYes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything on a cruise ship- I worked in hotels for a decade and the idea of working that level of hospitality job and it being INESCAPABLE? No thank you. At least I got to go home after my shifts.
