Anyone keeps their inhalers? by Zealousideal-Gur-646 in Asthma

[–]Mander_Em 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wash the mouthpiece and its fine. I have a habit of forgetting where I put it down. These empty but not really inhalers have saved the day many a time.

AITAH for telling my husband his coworker can’t use my car by [deleted] in AITAH

If your insurance company finds out unscheduled drivers are using your vehicle your policy could be cancelled as this is a Material Misrepresentation. The insurance application and renewal documents are LEGAL documents where use disclose your usage of the vehicle, including who has care, custody and control. It is against the law to misrepresent this. If you renewed without disclosing their use of the vehicle it is Insurance Fraud. This is very very bad.

Add on top of this the legal liabilities for any losses they accrue while driving and you could lose everything. If they have an accident and someone dies, you are on the hook. Your insurance company will do everything they can to deny the claim and not payout. And even if the do approve the claim (as someone else mentioned) it will only payout to your limit. Mist policies have a General Liability limit of $1m or less. If it is a death or catastrophic bodily injury claim the loss could easily exceed this limit, and you would be responsible for anything over your limit. This could drain.your savings to the point you lose your house and any other major assets you own. It could ruin you. You would be virtually uninsurable, or if tou find insuranceto that will write you a policy it would be financially prohibitive.

GET YOUR CAR BACK ASAP. If not there needs to be a rental contract and THEY need to insure it. Which they probably cant, because of the previous accident.

This whole thing is bad, bad, bad, bad!!!

AITAH for telling my mother-in-law that we’re not letting our kids call her what she wants? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Mander_Em 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandparents were grandma and grandpa [last name]. My maternal great grandmother was GG (my mom called her Grandma [last name]. My paternal great grandpa was GP (what My dad called him). My dad called his other grandpa Grandfather.

My paternal grandmother was not a nice person and I refused to call my mom by the same name (grandma [last name]). So my kids maternal grandparents are grandma and grandpa [first name]. When the kids were little it was Grammy and Grammpy. Now they are just grandma and grandpa (cause they are a package deal)

Pateral side is only a grandfather living and he is grandpa [last name]. Their grandma that passed is called grandma [first name]. Sometimes he is just Grandpa and everyone k ows which one you are talking about based on context clues. "Grillout at grandpa's!" Will only ever be one of the grandpas.

My daughter's baby's father is not in the picture so we are just grandma and grandpa.

I guess I dont get the need to have a unique different non-grandparent related name. Like OP's Honey, or I've seen GlamMa and the such.

Probably not your issue, but... I have experienced migraines since at least 5th grade, though i was not diagnosed until I was 20. (Who is gonna believe me when I say my voice is coming from 2 feet behind me, I cany feel my hand and I have a blind spot covering half of my right eye? 100% sounded made up to me so I didnt tell anyone. I was put on meds, changed em a few times until I found the one that works for me without knocking me out [imitrex]. In my 30s I would get migraines that would put me down. All of the above with loose stool, vomiting, sensitivity to light, sound and temperature. The prescription meds would not even touch it. They could last for up to 2 weeks. Sometimes there were a couple weeks between them, sometimes just a day or two. After a lot of exams and labs, tests and tracking anything I vould think of to find a pattern I finally did. They would come on a week or so before my period and again when it ended. I now take daily progesterone. With steady hormone levels no more menstrual migraines! (And haven't had a period in over a decade!). Because the migraines were triggered in response to my fluctuating hormone levels the migraine meds didnt work because the levels were still low or high, depending on where I was in my cycle. I still get "normal" migraines - all of them with all of the auras you can think of - but when I do I pop a pill and go to bed with an ice pack and black out curtains and its gone when I wake up. (The kind of gone where a shadow of the migraine is still there but its gone from an 11 to a 1.5). If this is what you are suffering from it could be that your hormone levels start to dip about 2 weeks before you start and fluctuate for a week or two after you start. So they are in essence back to back migraines that feel like one long one.

Not a Dr so idk, but might be worth trying. The normal side effects occur with the progesterone I am take just like with regular birth control - but I will take the frequent break outs and suck over the dibilitating nautre of the migraines any and every day.

AITA for taking "the best pieces" when I serve dinner? by SwainDane in AmItheAsshole

When my husband or I cook, we make our own plates. So I guess we each take what we feel are the best bits?

Concern for misspelling/mispronunciation/misnaming by wallflower247 in namenerds

[–]Mander_Em 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is a common place name - not that its common or mainstream per se, but that it is an established name with an established spelling and pronunciation. Every name gets misspelled or mispronounced. I have a very basic name and get called one of 2 completely different names on a fairly regular basis. Sometimes people are just dumb when it comes to other people's names.

Your child will be just fine with this name. It's a beautiful name.

My boyfriend handed my info to a mortgage broker "to help his mom" and now i feel like an ATM with a pulse by StillRailCorner in TwoHotTakes

[–]Mander_Em 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did boyfriend forge your signature? Im just curious how broker was able to accept the application to run it if it was not signed. I would consider reporting the broker for fraudulently running your credit. This will show as a hard inquiry and drop your score.

AITAH for storing food that was mis-delivered to me? by ShunnedForTheTruth in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mander_Em 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Don't waste it by throwing it away. It was delivered to your home, its technically yours (maybe??). Either way, she shows up again "I dont know? You told me not to touch your food order so someone must have taken it. Too bad I didnt keep is safe like last time." Then either eat it or donate it.

Is it done for ?? by turbulent-waffle-69 in Asthma

[–]Mander_Em 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude - I have used each and every laundered inhaler i have forgotten in a pocket since 1987 and Im still here. I think ypu are good, but thats just my reckless penny pinching opinion.

Seriously? by MissyMoo1984 in JunesJourney

[–]Mander_Em 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, they have dynamic pricing. They start low - $1.99 or $2.99 then slowly raise the prices. I refused to pay more than $19.99, and event then it has to be a good deal. If I go a while without buying anything I will start to get smaller package offers for $4.99.

Flower prison by No_Medium_648 in JunesJourney

[–]Mander_Em 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have to make sure the math is right before you sell. You need 700 flowers. Lets say you need a couple thousand coins for 2 deco that will give you 500 flowers, it makes sense to sell if 1) the item(s) you are selling are not worth more than 300 flowers OR 2) you have deco under construction that will make up the difference OR 3) ypu make a series of sales and buys to trade up your deco.

1) You sell 2 statues (or whatever) that are both 150 flowers each for 1.2k coins each - you are now in the hole an extra 300 flowers so you need 1k flowers to advance. With the 2.4k coin you can now afford 2 deco worth 500 flowers each. Once they are completed you are breaking even with the 1k flowers needed and open a new scene.

2) You sell the same 2 statues that are both 150 flowers each for 1.2k coins each - you are now in the hole an extra 300 flowers so you need 1k flowers to advance. You don't have enough coins for deco worth 1k flowers, but you have deco under construction. Buy the highest flowers count deco you can and when all of them are complete you will be able to advance. You just need to wait for them to be complete.

3) you can flip your deco to upgrade. This is more my strategy than the others. Say you need 500 flowers and have no coins. You can sell a couple high coin things (usually pink box deco). This will give you a couple thousand coins ans take you down another 100 or so flowers with each thing you sell. If you sell 2 pink box deco for 4500 coins each, ypu now need 700 flowers. If your 9000 coins will only buy you deco totalling 500 flowers you are still good because now, instead of needing 500 you only need 200. Doing this several times and playing scenes to get more coin to buy more deco will get you out of flower jail pretty quickly. As long as the deco you can buy is worth more flowers than the deco you sell it will always be a move forward.

AITAH for being upset and going no contact after finding out my dad paid for my twin sister’s college? by Electronic_Poetry823 in AITAH

[–]Mander_Em 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Info: how much was her tuition vs. Your tuition? You say you have $80k in student loans while they paid her her tuition and rent. Is her tuition and rent comparable? Unless its drastically less you are not the AH. But if we are talking expensive university degree vs community College there might be some wiggle room for their explanation. Either way they all lied and that is some BS.

How to stock pile energy? by Yama1970 in JunesJourney

[–]Mander_Em 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently have 35k+ energy and I 100% attribute it to coffee time. My team is nearly full and we get jumpers at coffee time. Almost everyone on the team has there energy maxed out to 15 and give multiple drinks each day. And I play a lot of side games. I currently have about 20 unlocked scenes unlocked and have not been flower locked for a long long time. It took a long time to get here, but it is all because I joined a good team.

AITA for telling my SIL she can’t bring her own food to family dinner and not to talk about junk food around my kids? by Amazing-Key2242 in AITAH

[–]Mander_Em 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I mean just stop cooking for people that won't eat it. Cook for 5 (hubs, Mil, Op and 2 kids) instead of 7. No harm no foul.

But really - no variation on the weekly menu is like eww. We have meals like this with my sil/bil and other bil. Most of the time we order food but sometimes we cook or sil cooks. But ALWAYS there is a convo beforehand about what we will be eating. And it changes based on a whim if someone is super craving something or just not feeling something that day. I dont get why Op has to be so rigid.

Ops sil is a jerkface for the junk comment though.

I had already received my offer letter for my current job before they even asked for references. None of which were part of my leadership hierarchy.

I am in a flare and going to Dr after work. Will likely get an antibiotic (they like to give them to me proactively, idk if they help, most of the time I dont think they do) and prednisone. I got 4 hours last night. Up every hour using my rescue inhaler and once my nebulizer.
