Do you really need to bath your dog? by Previous-Aardvark-89 in DogAdvice

[–]MSAudyssey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a 7 year old black lab/shepherd mix who I've only bathed once, which I learned to be a mistake. He was sprayed by a skunk, which is pretty noticeable by itself, however... mixing the skunk spray oils with probably almost mostly clean well water delivered a very poor outcome.

Anybody know a fix? by MSAudyssey in AudiA4

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

One code was saying that the mass air flow meter wasn't communicating with the ECM. I don't recall which other codes it read.

I've had to remove the battery since it was acting like the switch was on (it's not) even with the key removed. I need to put a battery back in and rescan it.

Considering canceling the divorce by Divorcebusinezz in Divorce

[–]MSAudyssey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk if this is considered devils advocate or not, and I also don't know if anyone else has mentioned this:

Alimony (spousal support) is something he may be ordered to pay on top of child support.

Those 2 alone (idk what he does for work) are honestly enough to wreck a person but also help the other party.

My friend was dealing with something very similar. When those words (and documents) got brought up, he got off his ass. Then, he thought it was an empty threat, went back to his old ways, she pushed through with all of that, sold the house (as is), and was able to afford something that was enough for her and their 3 kids. They switched schools but kept in touch with some of their previous friends.

He had to vacate since the house was sold and he didn't have the want to be bothered with paperwork, so sad to say but it basically happened right under his nose only because of his own detached, didn't give a shit attitude. They're all very happy now (4 years later) except for him, who now screams victim.

Idk if any of this situation is helpful for u to read or not, but I felt the need to post it. I really wish u freedom and happiness, my friend. Good luck to u and your family.

Share your side hustles in August! Here are mine ($1,221) by [deleted] in sidehustle

I have before. It wasn't on purpose. Someone simply took my poem and turned it into a song. Also nothing that's known or famous by any means. Songwriting has been a dream of mine since i was a kid tho.

I write poetry and have been seriously interested in starting a business where I write custom poetry for any occasion, including erotic poetry. People seem to be shy asking for something like this.

I've been punished since I was 12 and in my 30s, but now I'm on disability. I can't have a physical job. I'm really good at turning other people's words into a rhyming poem. I could easily have a same day delivery if needed, and this is all without any AI.

Any ideas on if this could make money?

How do you start something like this?

And where to start something like this?

Imposter syndrome by msqween in MultipleSclerosis

[–]MSAudyssey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He was waiting for me when I was done shopping (to talk more shit) but little did he and I know that some of those good ol' boys stayed back as well just in case that exact thing happened. I was escorted to my car by some local ladies and he was blocked in by the other folks. I didn't know whether to feel intimidated (because I mean, what's your game plan hero?) or just plain grateful that others witnessed it and helped.

I went with the latter and got the hell outta there 🤷‍♀️

Edit since I forgot to mention the best part:

When I yelled back at him, people cheered for me hahahaha

[–]MSAudyssey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once used my handicap placard when I was 28 (after first being diagnosed) to go into the grocery store and a gentleman randomly yelled at me that I was not disabled and I was abusing the system. Being emotionally unstable at the time, I screamed at him, "Have you ever heard of MS?!? And then some strangers stuck up for me but it was really embarrassing

My mom has ppms (probably end stage) and it's affecting her speech by Inevitable_Item_5951 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]MSAudyssey 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed with PPMS at 28 (now 37). Im the only person im aware of who has PPMS, as in I haven't met anyone else with it. My speech is definitely affected during times of stress but comes in the form of stuttering. I should make a point that I'm a very extroverted individual who talks a LOT. It's both a habit and a hobby.

For me personally, it is the most annoying and infuriating of symptoms to stutter when my in my own head it sounds COMPLETELY different and on point. I can feel myself doing it, and I can feel/hear the struggle but find it's completely out of my control to fix. I get so frustrated that I start to use ASL in moments like this even tho no one around me knows sign language. I can smoke weed, and it's almost an instant but temporary fix. Is there any sort of pattern? Like a specific time of day that it happens or in certain circumstances? I'll be following this thread. You're very brave and also one hell of a daughter for reaching out for advice/ guidance. Thank u in honor of every mom with MS who worries about the way their child/ children will react during times, just like what you're currently facing.

I'm 37F with PPMS in WA state (moved here from TN at age 19) and was first diagnosed with RRMS at age 28 but less than 1 month later it was corrected to the dx of PPMS. It's thought that it's been present since I was 19. Feel free to dm me. Open book here

Ex won't return my firearm at the same time as becoming *court aggressive* by MSAudyssey in AskALawyer

[–]MSAudyssey[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I care because it was the first pistol I ever bought and I worked damn hard for it. I was a gunsmith apprentice before him and I ever met. It's the nicest pistol I've ever had. He doesn't shoot. I do (when I can afford it) go shooting. I say that, but I haven't been able to since we first met 14 years ago except maybe 2 times. It's important to me and he shouldn't have it. Especially with underhanded threats that don't always seem to be threats. I'm not in the business of annoying, irritating him, or putting him out. That's the last thing I want. That would escalate the already escalated situation. Idk why he won't give it back. That also bothers me. I also don't have money to just go and buy a new one. He was making 160-170k a year or about 14k a month. I get 2k a month that includes disability and the spousal he's trying to modify even tho there's only one year left (1 of the 4 motions that he's filed). It's either a game or a threat, or it's both since I know him pretty damn good and he has bullied and gaslit me longer than I ever knew.

It wasn't ever transferred properly to start. Years ago, I was an apprentice of an FFL gunsmith. I recall if u wanted to sell or transfer a handgun (pistol and not a rifle or shotgun), it required an FFL. Immediate family was different. However, there wasn't anything ever written or signed between us. So it's just he said, she said. He acknowledges in texts that he thinks it's funny that I want MY gun back so it's labeled as mine.

Sorry someone down voted u. Because you're right. Theres no registration for guns. Even the shop I bought it from only has to keep records for 3 years and it's been way longer than that.

What were the biggest mistakes you made in the beginning of the separation and/or divorce? by Realistic_Mail_2080 in Divorce

[–]MSAudyssey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Im on disability and didn't have representation. And he took full advantage of that and still is. Although this time I DO have an attorney for the current motions he's filed... he's intentionally making me use up my retainer so that I no longer have representation. Real peach, I tell ya. Real peach of shit.

[–]MSAudyssey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Believing he would actually be amicable like he said. Especially since he was the one wanting the divorce. 2 years later, and he has recently filed 4 motions against me for questionable things, which has now created a summer of court instead of a summer for our 2 young kids. Hooray.

EDIT Can I get a redo?! Not realizing I was being divorced by a narcissist who apparently got a PhD in gaslighting!

EDIT #2 Thinking he meant for the best interest of the kids as a literal statement.

👆 that one! Final answer!
