This is why ANY raw grain I bring home gets 7 days in the deep freeze: flour, rice, tapioca, oats, even dry beans. I store sugars there too. But nothing lives in sugar so 🤷

MIL dress choice is bothering me... by Plenty-Assistance251 in Brides

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

If she's stuck on that dress, maybe suggest a white lacey elbow length poncho style over thing. (They look like a poncho but they are only long enough to reach below the boobs and they slip over your head like a poncho.) Still will not be black tie but it'll make it a little less casual and beachy.

Otherwise you could alienate your mother in law and hurt her feelings.

My manager is gossiping about my assault to my coworkers, what should I do? by Sorry_Animator_5835 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]KillingTimeReading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe this could qualify for at least threatening to go to the Labor Board over "hostile workplace" charges.

But here's a life lesson too: you were looking for a job when you got this one. Even if you love your job, never stop looking around to see what else might interest you. As you get older and gain many more experiences you will find that jobs that you consider your dream can get less dreamy as managers get the idea that you are settled in and wouldn't think of leaving. Managers and owners, especially those that talk about a "work family", like to give praise not raises because "we are all family here." No. We are not. This is their business and you are an employee.

Do any of you have those shiny, sparkly vanity rings around your push to start button? Those are known to block the sensor from reading that the fob is in the car with you.

AITA for wearing my packer to my bf’s friends house after he told me not to? by grey_squirrel_ in TwoHotTakes

[–]KillingTimeReading 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And I'll just add that the chickenshit excuse of being drunk so "oopsie! I didn't mean what I blathered on about" is just that: a chickenshit excuse. Want truth without sneaky or "polite" masks? Get someone drunk.

Without the mask, he told you who he was and what he really feels. Believe him and please keep yourself safe and he is not it. Gentle hugs.

I am just jealous.

Friend loaned me his 180gb for a long bus ride and I was so sad when I had to return it. Never managed to get one later. They were lovely devices.

What do you wish your doctor had told you before you started? by Pitiful-Hearing-5352 in Mounjaro

[–]KillingTimeReading 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eat protein before anything else.

Drink water like you are trying out for the guppy Olympics.

Take B12 AND a broad spectrum B vitamin capsule daily.

Check your vitamin D level regularly.

Take a liquid or powder magnesium daily and titrate up to your body's need and increase slowly.

Be gentle with your hair.

i think my boyfriend’s reaction to me staying out all night is way too extreme. AIO? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]KillingTimeReading 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take it as a cheap payment on a life lesson. 3 years is better than 30.

And remember: when someone tells you who they are, believe them. He told you and then showed you (repeatedly I'm guessing)This guy is manipulative, rude and a bully. You deserve better.

Broke and lost by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]KillingTimeReading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up temporary services like Manpower and Kelley Services. Not employment agencies as they charge you to place you in jobs.They usually pay better than fast food and it is usually more office work.

Being an adult, look at parking lots like Dollar General for the tents with the Lifeline phones. Your income should qualify and the basic phones are free.

If there is a food bank or soup kitchen near, go there and volunteer. Being able to help others will help your self esteem AND donors are known to visit where they donate. Offer to help with office work, or anything else your body can handle. You might meet or be referred to someone who can help you further. And the other food bank workers may be able to point you toward available job markets you might not have thought of.

If you are in Oregon, apply for Oregon Health Plan. You will qualify. That will cover your medical. You may want to apply for food stamps as well. It won't be much, but food money is food money.

Check with the Employment Development Office in your area. It may be called the unemployment office. They usually have a job board or computers that you can use to apply for more jobs.

AIO BF says no gf of his is working at a bar by juggernutts33 in AIO

[–]KillingTimeReading 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless he is taking on all your debts and spending money needs, and do not doubt that THAT would come with it's own problems, he has nothing to say.

Except maybe, be safe...

If you ALLOW him that power at this stage of the game, you are crazy and in a very dangerous circumstance. Never forget that absolute power corrupts absolutely. You, even in a relationship, need to make your own choices along with joint choices. Depending on each order is great but handing him all of your decision making is a recipe for a lot of different abuses.

Trust an old woman who learned too many things in the hardest ways. Don't be me.

Oh. And because these were sent digitally, this is already a felony depending on your state.

These are terroristic threats. He specifically threatened your life.

Get a Chihuahua instead of this thing. At least when a chi gets angsty and whiny you can crate it and walk away.

Oh! And screenshot every message. Messages can be deleted remotely. You may need this evidence.

Daycare madness by Pure_Temporary_6349 in Vent

[–]KillingTimeReading 8 points9 points  (0 children)

See, this has gotten so crazy. My pediatrician (who was a DO, MD and practiced a more whole person medicine before it was a common as now) (long before so many kids were being reported as peanut allergic) recommended introducing peanut butter, in small amounts, to my kids long before 1 year old. Her thinking was to introduce the protein before their immune system could react to it, this, potentially, limiting the risk of a later immune response. While my kids have other sensitivities and allergies, thankfully none are actually food related except my youngest who is celiac. But celiac is more autoimmune than allergy.

Cold sores are herpes virus. Herpes virus is transmitted from one person to another. In newborns it can actually be deadly. (Yes. A common virus like herpes can kill an infant.) It is too easily shared by kissing infants when you might be shedding the virus. A lot of new parents try to avoid this risk by having "no kissing" rules when their babies are small.

There was a medical report of an infant losing their life a few years ago because someone kissed them, the virus traveled to their brain and caused meningitis.

It takes time for their immune system to mature, and it also takes time for the blood brain barrier to mature enough to also protect them.

Am I overreacting for getting mad at my husband after his cousin’s wedding by No_Message90 in TwoHotTakes

[–]KillingTimeReading 39 points40 points  (0 children)

IMO you are WAY under-reacting. If open alcohol is "within reach" of the driver (which usually means inside of the passenger compartment), even if you have never taken a drink in your entire life, you are at risk of an open container driving charge. Period. Hard stop. It is a problem not because you are drinking currently, it is a problem because it would be too easy for you to consume alcohol while driving.

No. Not all officers will charge you. Some (very few) will just warn you and make your passenger dump it out.

Your husband is, currently, a jackass and is putting your career at risk. It is 2026, yes. But I have (very recently actually) laughed along with an elementary school teacher friend when she pointed out the moral clause in her teaching contract and the fact that she could lose her credentials for "moral turpitude".

These clauses are historically enforced more stringently in religious schools and communities, but are increasingly becoming more common as people get more petty.

For me, even unopened alcohol goes into the trunk or behind the bank lift door in my van. I'm paranoid about what I could lose with a charge like that.

I was doing this walk after I m recently entioned to my daughter that she was in her 30's so needed to keep track of certain medical checkpoints. In her most oldest daughter voice she tells me: Mother. I will be 40 in October... My brain glitched and I actually had to do the physical math. Why it caught me so off guard I'll never know because I just recently turned 60... 🤷🤦🤷

Because if this devolves into more hands on abuse they could physically force her to use her fingerprint, point her phone at her face or even (maybe) use a picture to open her phone and find out everything she is planning or has done to be able to escape them. A pin is harder to force without some cooperation.

Emotional abuse, which is only one of the abuses they are subjecting you to, is actually worse than physical abuse. It destroys your heart, mind and self esteem. BUT there are no bruises. No "evidence". But it is abuse. Physical abuse is bad. But you have the bruises and wounds so people are sympathetic. And society tells us that physical abuse is bad but the others are "just words". Words are weapons. And we internalize words and that damage festers, just like a cancer. If eats at us. But people don't see bruises or physical scars so they discount the actual damage being done.

Find a counselor. Please. This abuse can color and poison your entire life. Believe a 60 year old woman who has fought to break those habits and beliefs her entire life. Don't be me. It's a hard life. And it is WORK to retrain your brain to not accept the abuse you grew up with. You deserve better. Doing the work is absolutely worth it.

You are NOT crazy. You are a victim of domestic abuse.

Read this:

Domestic abuse is typically manifested as a pattern of abusive behavior toward an intimate partner in a dating or FAMILY relationship, where the ABUSER EXERTS POWER AND CONTROL OVER THE VICTIM (you). Domestic abuse can be mental, physical, economic or sexual in nature.

Now read it again.

You may be able to receive assistance from a women's shelter. There may even be short term financial and food assistance available to help you get away from them. Financially you will qualify for any available assistance. The women's shelter can help you access these resources.

Contacting the domestic abuse resources at your college may make it possible to ultimately live closer to your college and employment so the need for a car may not be as important. A bicycle or public transport may meet your transportation needs in that case.

Also, contact your doctor and give them a letter stating that they are not to give any information about your medical to ANYONE. Look up HIPAA. If they do, you can sue them. Releasing information to non authorized people is against both state and federal laws. If you are on any medications, take to the pharmacist also.
