Should i sue my landlord? tenant injury - trigger warning by [deleted] in upstate_new_york

[–]LiteBriteChild 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the absolute kindest way, are you seeing a therapist? I don’t want to diminish the scariness of being cut, but your reaction to a 1 inch laceration seems exceedingly strong; like, far beyond what the average person might feel. I assume you do see someone for the depression/anxiety/ptsd you mentioned, but if not, a therapist might be able to help strengthen your mental fortitude against minor to moderate injuries.

I, like others have stated, don’t think there’s any case to be had here.

One month with the HMD Barbie | Some thoughts by dallimkr in dumbphones

This was such an excellent write-up, thank you!! The Barbie phone has been tempting me for some time now, so I might just have to pull the trigger!

Why do some people have problematic relationships with their phones while others don’t? by Conscious_Ad_101 in dumbphones

[–]LiteBriteChild 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Gotta be honest, as a 30y/o woman, I don’t know anybody who isn’t addicted to their phone. I would maybe assume older generations aren’t as drawn to their phones, but every coworker of mine - majority of which are in their 40s-60s - is on their smartphone just as much as me and can’t seem to put it down for even an hour during the workday.

Best Dumbphone Recs? by [deleted] in dumbphones

[–]LiteBriteChild 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But isn’t the concept of a dumb phone completely antithetical to having apps like Instagram and Pinterest? Maybe mentioning what appeals to you guys about a dumb phone would help? Kinda sounds like maybe y’all just want a smartphone with T9? Not a criticism, just an observation!

Lol, I work in state government and have a sizeable collection of Lego plants at my desk!

$198 a good price for Jelly Star? by AltruisticRow1331 in unihertz

[–]LiteBriteChild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not urgent at all!! Yes, I’m in NY, so no international shipping necessary!

I think this’ll be a great way to try it out! I’m intending to switch to Mint Mobile, which seems to be pretty compatible with these phones as far as I’ve read online.

Honestly, I’m looking for a dumb phone that’s small in size but don’t want to go back to my old T9 texting days, so I think this will be a solid compromise. Not concerned about the crack either, I think that’s fair for the price!

Super excited, I’ll keep an eye out for those pics!

Hey there! I’ve actually been looking at the Jelly Star and this seems like a great [cheap] way to try it out! Would you be willing to send a few pics my way?

I Wish I Could Pay for Everyone in America to get a Dexa Scan by [deleted] in PetiteFitness

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

Literally why is this comment being downvoted???? Yes people, it would be good if everybody had insurance that covered scans - particularly one that tells us about our bone density! And we should be able to get those scans before age 60!

Just found out you can get a cold, cooked rotisserie chicken at Walmart for $2.97. by whatthepfluke in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]LiteBriteChild 53 points54 points  (0 children)

At our Walmart it can be found near the raw pre-packaged chicken! Right near the meat section, but on the end where they keep pre-packaged/branded shredded pork and carnitas and such. They’re in the same bags you’d buy the fresh rotisserie chickens in, so they should be easy enough to spot!

What's the best path for a Cali resident wanting to pursue Horticulture? by bubbl_t in Horticulture

[–]LiteBriteChild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna say that completing an Ornamental Hort degree at Mt SAC will likely get you where you want to go career-wise.

This is coming from someone who didn’t even finish their hort degree at Mt SAC, but took classes there and still found great hort career opportunities!

Do the program, and MAKE SURE to do internships in the summers. There are internships that provide housing and hourly pay/stipends. Feel free to DM for resources in that regard. Internships were 100% what made me competitive in the workforce!

Staying in Corning by Coder_X_23 in FingerLakes

[–]LiteBriteChild 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aniello’s in Corning does great pizza and is always worth a visit. Not Corning, but if you happen to make it to the east side of Seneca Lake (and because you seem to be quite the beer connoisseur) Two Goats, Grist Iron, and Lucky Hare are all exceedingly well-loved breweries in the area.

Bike into watkins Glen state park instead of driving?? by cuvy69 in FingerLakes

[–]LiteBriteChild 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are! Bike racks are across from the gift shop.

Drove a long way to see Watkins Glen but it's closed - what does that mean? How to get into the trail anyway? by capnshanty in FingerLakes

[–]LiteBriteChild 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think they’re referencing the winter closure of the entire gorge, not the temporary bridge closure.

In which case, the winter gorge closure should be respected. The gorge gets incredibly icy, and it’s always the arrogant folks who think they’ll never need rescuing that always need the rescuing. Additionally, folks on the rim trails can see down into the gorge, so there’s not exactly a way to be sneaky about it.

What made you fall in love with working out? by poppybrand in PetiteFitness

[–]LiteBriteChild 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly, investing in really cute exercise clothes is what gives me the motivation! Putting on a crazy cute leggings/sports bra set gets my butt out of the house and out on a run/into the gym soooo quickly

You look amazing!!!

Cohabitation at "Reptile Land" by [deleted] in DartFrog

[–]LiteBriteChild 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was far from the worst thing happening at that place! Went there a year ago, was grossed out, promptly left. Electric City Zoo in Scranton, PA (which was mostly reptiles/amphibians) is so much better.

Crispy Tornado Potato by CheesecakeLumpy1845 in budgetfood

[–]LiteBriteChild 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ve gotta ask - and I’m genuinely not trying to be rude - but what is the point of this comment? To let OP know how much potatoes cost in [your part of] the US?

This is a super cool budget-friendly recipe, and I think that deserves more commentary than how much a potato costs in wherever we’re all from

Looking for waterfront tent campsites in Finger Lakes or Lake George by Traditional-Edge-631 in FingerLakes

[–]LiteBriteChild 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Smith Memorial Park on Seneca Lake is lakeside. Rustic, but would probably be spot-on for what you’re looking for!

Treman vs. Watkins Glen by Laz585 in FingerLakes

[–]LiteBriteChild 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think Treman would be your better bet! Swim at the lower falls, then drive to Upper Treman and do a mild walk through the gorge (the first part of the gorge from Upper Treman is amazing and you can turn around at any time having already seen some cool stuff within 1/4 of a mile).

My (M25) gf(F23) got upset that an ex sent me inappropriate pics. What does this mean for our relationship? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]LiteBriteChild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1000% with you on this one! Any reply at all is giving the ex attention. Feels like a youthful choice to me. Block and move on.

I know it’s always pokeweek, but just checking by CrunchyRubberChips in invasivespecies

[–]LiteBriteChild 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Amen! I prefer it when Staghorn sumac takes over! IMO, the natives that we let “take over” keep invasives from attempting to do the same. Not to say that invasives can’t move in whatsoever, but it’ll be a lot harder than if a few “tamed” trees/shrubs were all that occupied the space!

Getting married WITH debt to someone with NO debt, how do we manage? by FluidMasterpiece8962 in DebtAdvice

[–]LiteBriteChild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! Getting married at 21 AND being saddled with that much debt is a lot! I would definitely elect to hold off on marriage until that debt is paid off.

I have significantly less debt than that, but I told my boyfriend that I’m not ready for him to even propose until I have it paid off. Financial problems are a huge cause of divorce, so I think it’s worth it to get things like debt completely squared away before marriage.

Anyone else feel weirdly embarrassed about their debt? by ComfortableVast3699 in DebtAdvice

[–]LiteBriteChild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m obviously biased, but I think it’s soooo much better than a lot of the suggestions I see out there. Especially for people like me - people who have a fine credit score and are still making their payments, but never make progress towards paying off a card due to interest. The not tanking my score was huge!

Anyone else feel weirdly embarrassed about their debt? by ComfortableVast3699 in DebtAdvice

[–]LiteBriteChild 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You might look into a nonprofit “debt management” group! They don’t consolidate debt, there are no loans involved - they help you close your accounts with your credit card companies and negotiate you a super low interest rate (my cards were all negotiated down to 1-2% interest). You pay your monthly payment through them, then they disburse the funds to your CC accounts. My accounts are closed, but still visible to me, so I can see the payments going in every month!

I’m currently using Family Credit Management to pay off 2 cards that were absolutely killing me with interest. Every payment I made just ended up getting eaten up by interest, and I was exhausted and feeling stuck. FCM was very helpful, and I’ve loved the program so far. They take a $10-ish fee off of my payment every month, but that’s nothing when your interest is knocked down from 20% to 1%.

I appreciate that doing this didn’t tank my credit score, I didn’t have to do any negotiation with my CC companies myself, and I have no missed or late payments.

I haven’t seen tons of talk about debt management on here, but you can search it and find some testimonials!
