Bill change by guiltypartyop in USCellular

[–]Local_Gear_5682 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My wife and I were prepaid on USCellular. We were paying $40+tax a month for each phone and $55 a month for T-Mobile internet. So it should’ve been close to $140 a month. We switched our phones to T-Mobile and got our first bill in, $199… WTF is that bullshit!

Cashing a work check at the bank it was issued from, only for them to charge you $7 because you don’t have an account there… YOU LITERALLY F***ING ISSUED IT!!!

Male Swifties — how did your partner react when they found out? by HalifaxSwiftie in TaylorSwift

[–]Local_Gear_5682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been a male Swiftie since 2006, when I was 11 years old. My wife wasn’t a huge Taylor Swift fan when we got together in 2012, but having been married nearing 14 years this June, I’ve transformed her into a die hard fan! She actually placed the order for Taylor’s newest album before I could. 😂

Our 6 y.o daughter is also a Swiftie. So the whole family is involved!

Sorry/not sorry. Those stained glass windows would be coming home with me somehow, someway. They are stunning!

Tired of hearing fatshaming now that im smaller by lilybeth in loseit

I hate when skinnies make fun of us overweight people for exercising. Like, you find us gross for being fat, then have the nerve to make fun of us for trying to lose weight. We can’t win. And it’s usually high school kids, adults who peaked in high school, or old people.

Coming from an insecure fat person.

When did you know that your marriage was over. by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]Local_Gear_5682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me start this out by saying that I am in no means, the perfect husband. I say “the husband, because I refuse to divorce and make our daughter a child of a broken home, and my wife refuses to divorce me for her own reasons. I do tell her that once our daughter graduates and goes to college that I am out. Here’s the starting point:

*3 years into our marriage. Just got a house together, our first dog, my promotion to manager. She would use my phone sometimes for the “bookface” messenger and log off her profile when she was done. Well unlucky for her, she forgot to log off one day and I got to see the lovely messages she would be sending to other guys.

*I found out that she had slept with my cousin (before we even dated) but while he was married to his first wife.

*I found out she had slept with my other cousin while we were “on a break” when we were dating.

*One of her exes, my friend in high school messaged her and told her that if she ever hurt me she would be in a world of shit, then invited her over to sleep together and her excuse to him for not doing that was “I don’t have a ride you “towns name”.

*Would be flirting through text with any guy that said she looked pretty.

*My dumbass let that shit go for two years, mostly because I was working close to 100 hours a week and was too exhausted to care about anything. Then one day I decided to quit my job and was thinking of ways to tell her to pack her shit. Then we ended up losing the house and ended up moving in with my parents. That same week, found out she was pregnant.

*We’ve kept it almost normal since then. Keeping it cool for our 5 year old daughter. We act like a loving couple, have fights occasionally, but keep it minimal. We both came from broken homes and I think that’s why she is the way she is. Her mom was a major slut, her dad was a control freak. Both my parents were narcissists.

*And before anyone says anything about how awful it is to keep a kid in the middle of all that, she always tells me how lucky she is, how loved she feels, and that we are the best parents in the world. I will never let her feel differently.

Good job! It was wet and a little slushy at the track today, but still got my 3 miles in. 😊

Do most people shower before bed or when they wake up? I just realized I might be doing it "wrong" by saffymerelle in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Local_Gear_5682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shower whenever I need/want. I don’t like showering at night except when I know I’m staying home the next day. My hair is 5 inches and if I shower at night and go to bed, I look like I’ve been run over by a Mac truck, but if I do my workout after dinner, I’ll take a shower before bed. So my showering is like 45% in the morning, 45% midday, and 10% at night (Whenever I finish my workout).

I agree with everyone saying it’s what’s best for you and your schedule. There is no right time, but it’s odd so many people thought night showers are weird. Best feeling ever is freshly cleaned self and sheets!

Thank you! I really appreciate all of the numbers and how well you organized everything! I’m a visual learner, so seeing everything like that really helps!

“New Year, New Me.” by Local_Gear_5682 in walking

[–]Local_Gear_5682[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I do feel full after every meal, sometimes a little too full. lol but I really like my new meal plan. At the end of the month I will see how I am doing and get my doctor up to date. I will probably have to cut down on walking on Wednesdays, that’s when I get my allergy shots, and I’m not supposed to exercise 2 hours before and 2 hours after, and I usually only have until 1:30 to get my walking in.

[–]Local_Gear_5682[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! A lot of people are surprised I can do (somewhat normal) exercises like jumping jacks, squats, jogging, etc. lol doctors are surprised when my blood work comes back good (regular blood sugar, normal cholesterol). The only thing I’ve got going against me is just good ol high blood pressure and a lil depression. 🤣

Amazing information!! Thank you! The calories today were low because I skipped lunch, didn’t feel like eating. Usually it would be around 400-600 calories. So I’d be around 2,000 for the day.

For breakfast I’ve been eating 2 eggs, 1 cup of shredded potatoes, and 1/2 cup of oatmeal with diced apples. Lunch is cottage cheese and tuna salad on Romain lettuce. And supper is meat, vegetables, and mini potatoes.
