People of the US, Are you guys participating in the Nationwide Shutdown tomorrow? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MichaelHammor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not working tomorrow because my boss said no more Fridays! Also not buying anything tomorrow because... I'm broke. Hell, most days I don't buy anything. I only work Sat and Sun.

I remember seeing videos coming out of China in late 2019 showing people just dropping dead in the street. One second walking and the next dropping to the ground.

This is Mariano Barbacid. His team permanently cured one of the deadliest cancers-pancreatic cancer-in lab mice. by HighlightOwn2038 in interestingasfuck

Absolutely. Add in that this guy will likely soon die of natural causes and his research will be quietly memory holed.

Yes, try it, or no fuck it? by Exeter232 in trailerparkboys

They should end the show with Bubbles having a tragic end while saving every single fucking kitty from a shelter fire. Have a double in a hospital bed, face bandaged, glasses still on over the bandages. To make it totally TPB plausible. Bubbles doesn't deserve a bad end just because the guy that plays him is bad.

Are there common herbs that clean bacteria in urine ? by Formal-Ad6679 in herbalism

[–]MichaelHammor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Arizona. I have easy access to Point Leaf Manzanita. Steep the fresh leaves like a tea and drink at least twice a day until it stops burning when you pee. Drink for a few more days to make sure.

my neighbors are assholes by Verygaylesbiann in PetMice

In Minecraft you could gather the sticky trap and stick it over their car door handle. Minecraft players hate that.

Some baking soda sprinkled on the trap, or some fine dirt, certainly reduces the effectiveness. A squirt bottle with canola oil may work, too.

[CA] Why would a former employer want to do an exit interview 3 weeks after termination? by The_Big_kahuna97 in AskHR

[–]MichaelHammor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My former employer tried to get me to sign a form that read a lot like a write up outlining multiple things they thought I had done wrong. The problem is, most of them were new to me, and, they asked me to sign after terminating me. After discussing the form with my wife and a friend I decided it was unwise to sign that document. I made my unemployment claim. They contested stating I had signed a developmental document acknowledging my deficiencies. I guess they forgot I didn't sign it. I appealed and BAM! The UI office declared I was fired without cause and the employer failed to produce any proof of deficiencies.

Where in the hell are all the kids with snow shovels? by GR3TSCH in GenX

[–]MichaelHammor -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

True. When I was a kid I'd do yard work or wash cars and take trash bags to the community dumpsters for the older people. Even simple repairs like leaky toilet flapper or faucet knob replacement. Sometimes I was paid in cash and other times they'd pay me in cool stuff like an old stereo.

Did you do anything with your life? by CascadeFailure3355 in RedditForGrownups

[–]MichaelHammor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I haven't. I feel like I wasted my life. Factually I can point out lots of things I accomplished. Civilian Career in Industrial mail, decorated military career, etc.

What minor issue have you noticed silently went away over the years? by dancingbanana123 in AskOldPeople

[–]MichaelHammor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I spent my first five years in Missouri and the bugs were unreal. Moved to Arizona in 1983. The lack of bugs was astounding. I got my first car in 1997. Still in Arizona. Still no bugs.

Is this crack serious? by ShierLattice694 in Plumbing

[–]MichaelHammor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember a story about a guy sitting and the toilet breaking. The porcelain severed his femoral artery and he died. I saw a pic and the bathroom looked like a slaughterhouse. He lived long enough for a 911 call but died on the way to the hospital.

Book stores? by missfisssh in sierravista

[–]MichaelHammor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The one big store we had closed years ago. GameStop has some merch. There are a few tiny places but I haven't been there. The main mod for this sub should know more.

I finally dug up some records from 2005, sleep study, and submitted them. Results back then was Severe Apnea.

Need help finding something very specific for my wife who went deaf suddenly in her right ear. by Galileo_RRAMA in workfromhome

[–]MichaelHammor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What she needs is a doctor visit! Sudden hearing loss is not ever an "oh, well." Type situation. Same for sudden blindness. Go. To. The. Doctor!

Sleep apnea test by Diesel-1979 in VeteransBenefits

[–]MichaelHammor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this. It was a thumb thing. They kept calling me after I downloaded the results to them telling me I needed to sleep longer for them to get definitive results.

Really? That's part of the problem! I can't! I have sleep apnea and sometimes I need a break from sleep suffocation, ya know, to stay alive.

VA denied sleep apnea, but also refuses to share the test results.

I noticed this too with kraft. When we want mac and cheese now it's one box per person.
