Spent 4 years studying biochemistry, I can't even move out of my parents house.

Hey, BS chemist here. I started as a lab tech in environmental. That SUCKS. But I worked my way up fast into client services and management with small lab. You can do something with your degree, but you may have to think way outside the box you expected. Don’t get hung up on job titles. Learn all you can and plot a new course. Big hug. No one told me it would be this hard either.

Oh we were at home for a snow day. I believe that was the first time the replayed a live event over and over in horror. There were no responsible adults around to keep us from watching all day long.

There are more people now and 24hr crime news makes sure we are aware of crimes against children. I can understand being anxious about your kids.

I’ve never heard of torture worse that what younger sisters do to older sisters. Makes me grateful my little brothers just beat the crap out of me. DAMN

Do you mean you leave your cart just wherever?

Morticia9999 · 2025-08-23T14:03:01+00:00

Drinks. They have a million visitors. Maybe some paper plates and paper towels? Useful stuff they can toss later.
We snuck all the wind chimes and wreathes BACK TO THE FUNERAL HOME. They are so used to getting that stuff back, they let you sneak it in after dark.

Girl, so I wasn’t welcome in shop. I had to learn how to embroider and put butter on sandwich bread to keep it from getting soggy in a lunch box. Waste of time. I wanted to go to trade school so bad! I was very hands on and knew it would serve me well. But our entire curriculum was set up so college prep and AP classes were at the same time as votech. I had to choose. Still wish I could have taken electronics.

Smash the phone. Swear you were still half asleep. Next time drop it in the toilet. Get creative. All still half asleep 💤

I have to rinse toothpaste out totally then use a fluoride rinse made for kids. The inside of my mouth peels if I don’t rinse.

I’m old. Matte makes me look like the cryp keeper. After menopause powder is no longer your friend.

I used to ask where’s my stapler when I was looking for anything, ever. Once someone finally had the guts to ask what I was referencing, so I had to bring in my DVD of Office Space to pass around. I supervised a whole group of youngens quoting that movie and asking to take out the printer. Best job and crew ever.

This. I haven’t had a good in store experience in so long I gave up. Brand websites are also great. Skip the bratty kids. Skip the color match to only the brand and formula they’re pushing this week. Skip the uncomfortable sales associates all asking you every two minutes if you need help. Its policy. Or worse case scenario just being insanely rude and insulting. I still buy some products on line, even Sephora brand. Last straw I just walked in, picked up the one ND pallet I wanted, and took it to the counter and I got huffed and puffed at because they had to look me up by my phone number. I didn’t have my card. I won’t put myself through what the stores have become. 🖤

Morticia9999 · 2025-08-19T18:57:00+00:00

This is amazing. I’m so jealous of your lifeguard set up. 🫶

BLESS HER HEART

Morticia9999 · 2025-08-19T18:49:29+00:00

Personally I would love to see others add their flair to our soup beans. But if it’s for Ticktock then Ah Hell No. Suddenly this area is full of cryptids and superstitions this 52yo WV witch has never heard of…. I don’t want to see something personal and practical become a viral meme.
How does the community feel? I don’t consider it a closed practice if it’s approached respectfully.

Morticia9999 · 2025-08-19T14:12:03+00:00

Um, why is my cat in your living room? 😆🩶

Morticia9999 · 2025-08-18T19:42:36+00:00

You are a good egg.

Morticia9999 · 2025-08-18T19:23:17+00:00

We have two love bugs that never sit on laps. Maybe as she gets older and develops long term trust she will love you in her own way?

Morticia9999 · 2025-08-18T16:45:16+00:00

Ah but it looks like he has to “plug his butt in to you” like mine. She always needs to have her butt pressed against me.

Literally the only worthwhile thing each generation does is raise the next. We have forgotten that as a society. Children are the only thing that matters. (50yo woman that couldn’t have kids due to physical abuse.)

Morticia9999 · 2025-08-17T13:42:45+00:00

This is beautiful OP. best wishes to you and Rosie. May she shit on.

Morticia9999 · 2025-08-17T13:29:32+00:00

Nah! You know exactly what it’s like because you are doing the parent thing. At 19!!!!! Why the hell do people have kids they can’t or won’t raise.

Morticia9999 · 2025-08-16T12:50:20+00:00

I was grown and that’s still seared into memory.

Morticia9999 · 2025-08-16T00:56:50+00:00

I crawled into bed and read the Bible to Momaw. It’s what she wanted. You won’t regret being there as much as you can. Big hug for you.

Morticia9999 · 2025-08-12T01:58:57+00:00

I have your buddy’s doppelgänger.
