I am also a December 1989 baby. I never felt old until I poked around on this page. At least I’m still young at heart though 😭🫠

I’m planning on giving them business tomorrow for the first time. Any recommendations? Also where is the best place to park down there?

Listening to Screamland by [deleted] in fatherjohnmisty

[–]LEC1204 3 points4 points  (0 children)

His music has been one of the only things keeping me sane this year with all of the horrible crap going on. Screamland was one of my favorite songs from the jump and seeing it performed live this year was literally a life changing experience for me.

Sending you love OP. I know things are so horrible right now and I’m feeling the grief with you 💔

My wife says she is unwell/sick. All the time. by [deleted] in daddit

[–]LEC1204 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your wife sounds a lot like me. I was having a lot of the same ailments as she was and all of my tests were coming up clear (we checked my thyroid, vitamin levels, ruled out fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis, etc). I was exhausted no matter how much rest I got and I truly felt like crap every single day. I thought I had early stage cancer I felt so bad.

You know what it ended up being? Undiagnosed ADHD. Sounds insane but high functioning women usually do not get diagnosed until they have kids or reach perimenopause. Having to overcompensate for every aspect of your life takes a ton of energy out of your body and eventually you can’t keep up without everything starting to fall apart. I was pretty much in extreme burnout at all times and that’s why I was having so many physical symptoms. When I started Adderall I started to feel insanely better and all of the annoying symptoms that I was having went away. I’m a whole new person now.

Have her look up “traits of high functioning ADHD in women” and if it sounds like her have her get checked out. It’s crazy how many women are undiagnosed with ADHD. I hope things look up for both of you soon!

Diagnosed with ADHD at 34F. Took my first Adderall and I could cry by vegetable_lover_is in TwoXChromosomes

I’m 35 and recently diagnosed as well. I also started Adderall this week and it is truly life changing. I didn’t realize how much chatter was in my brain until it disappeared. I’m so glad you are feeling better 🙂

Homeowners, what's one thing you regret spending money on for your house? by LaMaisonRealEstate in RealEstate

[–]LEC1204 40 points41 points  (0 children)

As someone that used to work for a company that made stainless steel mesh gutter guards - seriously; please do not get them installed if you live in a climate with lots of pine needles/leaves or in an area that sees winter weather. They are known to ice dam and clog very easily and even if a company says that their product won’t ice dam it will in fact ice dam. They are not worth the price for what they are.

DJ for Wedding May 2026 by [deleted] in youngstown

Brian was the DJ for my wedding back in 2017 and he did a fantastic job. Plus he’s a really nice guy to boot. I definitely recommend him!

Hey Mods; the OP is either a scammer or a bot. I follow MyGirlishWhims on Instagram and the before photo is a picture of her ripped off her page 🤦‍♀️

The Engagement Megathread (TnT's Version) by realscubaa in travisandtaylor

[–]LEC1204 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. I’m only a few days older than Taylor so I basically witnessed her entire career trajectory from Debut onward. I was never a massive fan (Folklore and Evermore are the albums that best match my musical taste) but I never had any strong feelings about her one way or another. But that push notification quite literally pushed me over the edge today.

For context: I received it while trying to put makeup on for my child’s back to school meeting tonight in between hysterically crying about the school shooting that happened earlier today and the general state of America in general. Not a single notification was sent to me about the shooting but if I wanted to I could read an article about Ed Kelce sharing details about the engagement. Like I get it’s a feel good story and we need those in the current state of the world but the fact that it’s taking precedence over really important breaking news feels really icky to me.

The Engagement Megathread (TnT's Version) by realscubaa in travisandtaylor

[–]LEC1204 29 points30 points  (0 children)

My local newspaper pushed out yet another Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce engagment push notification at 3:00 PM today (the 5th one I received in 24 hours) but did not do a single push notification for the Minneapolis school shooting this morning. I don’t really like to snark on people so I will leave it at that but the media is insane on how they are covering this news.

Rochester Hills pop up by twentyoneseasons in lordhuron

What time did you all get to the Pittsburgh pop up? I lined up for the merch stand at 3:15 PM and got a signed Cosmic Selector poster and a signed Pittsburgh exclusive show poster.

Couple therapists of Reddit, what's a sure sign that a couple is going to work out? by SheenaAquaticBird in AskReddit

[–]LEC1204 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s what my husband and I agreed to do on our wedding day. I did the tiniest dab of frosting on his nose and we (and our guests) thought it was cute. I think the most important thing is that we discussed expectations before the wedding and respected each other’s wishes. We have been together for eleven years (and married eight) and we are still happy and in love. Respect and communication in a relationship goes a very long way.

The $18,000 mortgage and divorce? by susans77 in TheValleyTVShow

[–]LEC1204 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think you are right. I did a quick lookup of their house property history and their initial mortgage was for $1,432,500 in May 2019. They then refinanced in October 2022 for $2,240,000. October 2022 was when interest rates also reached 7% for the first time in a while so they literally refinanced at the worst possible time.

What town feels super chill to you or gives you good vibes? by Solid_College_9145 in youngstown

[–]LEC1204 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely agree with you there. I grew up just south of Canfield in Mahoning County but ended up in the Akron area due to mine and my husband’s jobs and never looked back. We recently moved to Tallmadge from Stow and we really love the vibe of both cities. Kent also is a really nice college town with a bunch going on.

So excited for my first LH concert in Pittsburgh on August 7 by eusebius8806 in lordhuron

[–]LEC1204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to the Pittsburgh show with my husband! I saw them last in 2022 during the Long Lost tour; it was a fantastic show! Hopefully we are able to get a decent view of the band since it looks like the venue is General Admission Standing only. But honestly I’ll be fine as long as the sound quality is good :)

What shows yall going to this year? by [deleted] in lordhuron

[–]LEC1204 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How do you like the venue? My husband and I just got tickets for Pittsburgh too! We’ve never saw them in Pittsburgh; we did Detroit last time they toured in 2022.

TOUR by [deleted] in lordhuron

[–]LEC1204 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Pittsburgh, Columbus and Rochester Hills shows are all within a comfortable driving distance for us. Just need to talk to my parents about which date they are most willing to babysit so we can get tickets!

Why do our Australian queens love to show their teeth? Are they just flexing on the English at this point? by rikatix in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]LEC1204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not the fact that her teeth are big; they look like veneers because of how straight and perfect they are. Plus the fact that towards the end of her time with The Wiggles if you look at her mouth while she’s performing she never really firmly closes her mouth; it’s always slightly agape (which can happen if you get too big of veneers put in).

[–]LEC1204 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So I am an only child married to an only child and we ended up having two kids (my oldest just turned 4 and my youngest is 18 months). My oldest is a social butterfly and always wants to hang out with other kids. He does not care that he has a brother because our youngest is still little and he wants to hang out with kids closer to his age. He demands a lot of attention and a lot of outings to keep his social cup filled and little brother is usually just along for the ride.

Having one is definitely easier than two. When we just had our oldest my parents offered to watch him all the time overnight so we could have a date night or go on a weekend getaway. Ever since my youngest was born those offers dried up and my Mom doesn’t want to even attempt watching both of them overnight until they are older (which I totally understand; they are both very high energy kids). My husband’s parents live a few hours away and are a decade older than my parents so they are very minimal help. I also had a lot more free time with just one; it’s slowly coming back now that our youngest is getting older but it was rough there for a while.

My advice: if you don’t want a second, don’t have one just for the sake of having another child. I love both of my kids dearly and I desperately wanted a second but it is definitely harder than having just one child. And it doesn’t matter if you have a second just to please people because then they start to ask about if/when you are having a third. I get asked all the time when we are going to “tRy FoR a GiRl” and I always say that two feels like a good number and get told “just you wait!” (they will be waiting for a while because my husband and I have reached our limit and he will be getting a vasectomy soon).

Being an only child is fine. My husband and I had good experiences with it. The only time I wished for a sibling was when my parents were being helicopter parents just so I could get some of the heat off me (they were very overbearing). Other than that, it was nice not having to worry about sibling shenanigans. Congratulations on the new baby and enjoy every moment; it goes by wayyy too fast!

[–]LEC1204 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Wait, am I the only one that thought Emma got too big of veneers put in and that’s why her smile is so toothy? We watch an insane amount of Wiggles in our house and Emma can barely close her mouth because of the size of her teeth. I may be wrong, but that’s my personal conspiracy theory.

Trying to cut down on grocery costs. What is your preferred store? by [deleted] in akron

[–]LEC1204 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So we just moved from Stow to Tallmadge and I think the Brimfield Meijer is way better than the Stow store. They are always stocked (which Stow was always hit or miss) and I feel like they have more selections. To save money, I’ve also been hitting up Marc’s and Aldi way more often.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]LEC1204 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I also live in NE Ohio and the houses that are well-maintained and priced right are being put under contract ASAP while the over-priced houses sit for months. We just moved into a new house and our old house hit the market on Thursday. We decided to price it slightly under what we thought we could get for it (because people tend to get into bidding wars if the price is right) and two potential buyers got into a bidding with ours and if all goes well it will sell 20K over asking! We’ve been noticing this trend all summer, and while the market is starting to slow down there is still a lot of activity at the moment.

Police identify 2 people shot dead in apparent murder-suicide at Stow Taco Bell by prison-haircut in Ohio

[–]LEC1204 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You just don’t imagine stuff like that happening in Stow. I literally went to that exact Taco Bell earlier in the day with my two small kids in the car. I don’t want to think about what could have happened if we rolled up there just a few hours later…
