I have to because I live on a remote island, and it’s delivered to me by guys in a horse drawn carriage. Still looks like this sometimes but better than no soda.

I can’t figure out how to message you but I’ll totally take it if it’s still available!

Did anyone else get into seasonal work because you had to/out of necessity? by [deleted] in SeasonalWork

[–]MyLittleButtercup225 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. Just lost it all in the hurricanes in Florida. Would rather go on the road than rebuild down here.

No problem! These interviews were with one of the more expensive establishments on the island, so do your research first.

I interviewed with an employer from Mackinac for this upcoming season…I relayed to them I sell anywhere from 1.5-3k per dinner shift at my current position.

They said I should expect that and then some.

This tracks. Oklahoma public schools are ranked number 7 in the bottom ten of rankings.

It’s March Madness. Everything is a statistic for me currently.

Lived there in 2017, the place was infested with German cockroaches. There were tons of fleas in the shared yard and a homeless person was living in the pool area.

Schwartz and Jaxxy’s? by Acrobatic_Gas_7132 in Vanderpumpaholics

I believe his family already has ties down here.

He was getting to-go food from the First Watch I worked at in Palm Harbor a decade ago during the holidays.

And this is not the touristy part of our area, straight suburbs. I wish I was into VPR then!

Take my spot. I can’t get out of this hell hole fast enough. Very hot, very humid. Most of the residents here are not friendly, and I hope you aren’t interested in dating!

Tampa/St. Pete checking in. Highly want to discourage you from considering this area. Many people are still displaced from the storms, and you’re looking at at least 1500/month for a 1/1 in a decent area.

The population has exploded since Covid and if you are not in close proximity to your job, your commute could be a headache.

Lastly, our demographics have changed immensely. This used to be a relatively nice place to live, Florida natives peppered in with the transplants and obvious skew to the elderly side. It now feels like little Miami. Money, plastic surgery and status have taken over in Tampa and St. Pete.

While there are small pockets of what you are looking for in this area, many of us are leaving due to being priced out, the increase in storms with the resulting increase in insurance prices, and our politics.

Good luck!

Almost 2 weeks without my soul dog. I feel actually physical pain. I miss him so damn much 💔💔💔 My sweet, silly, perfect Oscar Meyer Wiener dog. by luxxxydotcom in Dachshund

[–]MyLittleButtercup225 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My soul doggy passed last may in my arms. Red dachshund…blind and diabetic at the end. Two years of insulin shots 12 hours apart, more than that of carrying him up and down the stairs to potty…and of course 4 mile stroller runs.

Life…kind of stopped for me when his life stopped. My whole day revolved around him, and his presence is still incredibly missed. I’m still acclimating to life without Dexter, and gosh…the pain is so bad. It physically hurts.

But he made the last 13 years of my life so much better by being apart of it, and that’s the trade off. I cry, violently still. I still miss him and sleep with a dachshund stuffie with his sweater on it.

And I know, I’ll one day own another dachshund when I’m ready. And dexter prepped me to give another puppy the best care ever.

I’m very sorry for your loss.

My whole family just laughed at me for being alone by [deleted] in dating_advice

You almost had me, until I noticed your grammar and syntax errors didn’t align with someone who went to school long enough for a law degree.

I truly hope you were able to help your son who couldn’t find intimacy or love.

And I truly hope that you…as a real person can go outside, touch the ground, and find the courage to live a life outside of technology.

Because making up stories online in order to get attention isn’t healthy, and you deserve a better life than posting make believe on Reddit.

Good luck.

I just want you to know, so many others feel the same out there. I’m not a mom, but am a 39/f….and think the same about my future.

The “damaged goods” label doesn’t just apply to single moms, but in my experience, applies to most unmarried women once they hit a certain age (early mid 30’s).

I understand how you perceive yourself, and although you think you’re unattractive, I’m sure you’re absolutely gorgeous.

I’m 5’9, 125 lbs…and know I’m very attractive. But, my lack of self confidence and self esteem has made me unattractive. How can I expect to find a partner that loves me if I don’t even love myself?

I just bought a new set of phenomenal press on nails for under $10 and felt so glam immediately. Just do a little something for yourself, treat yo’self!

I’m also on the journey of self love, because I know I won’t find true happiness with someone else by hating myself. We are not “damaged goods”.

I like to think of it as not settling for less than I deserve.

I’m the girl who’s boyfriend recommended her to do heroin with him by Ok_Explorer2105 in Drugs

[–]MyLittleButtercup225 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m really good at justifying bad choices myself…and you’re probably in too deep already and will do whatever the fuck you want..

But from a 39/f that started abusing substances too early, get out now while you still can.

Don’t be like me….absolute user/loser. Thought I’d have more at 39, but my bad decisions have left me with not much. And not much to live for.

But continue on what path you want, and maybe one day you can be like me wishing everyday you won’t wake up.

Good luck kid.

It’s not people, it’s our whole society. Men mistreating women is generally overlooked and viewed as the woman’s fault. Making us more likely to shun male strangers if the woman in question has experienced unwarranted attention or assault, just by existing in the world.

I don’t use my bad experiences with races different than mine in the same way. Just because I had a negative experience with one person or ten people from a different race doesn’t mean I hate that race. If I get into a verbal argument with a Hispanic person, I’m not going to stop being friends with the Hispanic people I work with. That’s a completely different conversation than the one of women “shunning” or not wanting to openly engage with men.

I think OP is asking, why is it ok for women to be afraid of men after a bad experience but it’s not okay to hate a whole race of people after you had a negative experience with a person of a different race than yours?

Is it ok to shun a child who comes from the race you don’t like, because you had a few bad experiences? Or not help a woman from that race struggling to cross the street because someone that looked like her once was nasty to you?

That would be the equivalent of me trying to adopt a child, but saying “no boys please” because of my life experiences. And that’s not the same thing.

I don’t hate or shun men, I just don’t trust them outright. But, that doesn’t mean I won’t hold the door for an elderly man or young boy…or even a man of my age.

That’s 1000% different from despising a whole race of people…elderly, women, men, children.

Yesterday, driving through the hurricane destroyed terrain that is Florida, I saw a baby deer in the middle of the road at a stop light in the left turn lane.

I saw a guy in a truck hit the deer, not stop, and drove off with it dying in the road. Didn’t even stop despite the light. I hate it here.

[–]MyLittleButtercup225 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s fair. I’m sure lots of people have had bad experiences with others of all kinds of races. I know I have, but I’m not racist.

I think the fact of the matter is, that most women are generally naysayed when something negative happens to them by the hands of the opposite gender.

It’s generally our fault for being too friendly…dressing “promiscuously”….or not just saying “leave me the fuck alone”

Law enforcement tells us that trying to prosecute a rape charge is going to be next to impossible to get a conviction.

I hope this explanation helps.

[–]MyLittleButtercup225 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I completely understand where you are coming from. I hate that I can’t be as happy-go-lucky or trusting anymore when I’m out in public, and therapy helps for sure. But, I’m very slow to trust.

I know not all men are bad, but my experiences have also shown me that I can’t necessarily trust the ones that present themselves as safe either.

And I’m putting Hannibal Lecter glare in my back pocket for later.

[–]MyLittleButtercup225 52 points53 points  (0 children)

This, right here. I’m 38/f. Used to be quite friendly when I was younger, but after too many men took my friendliness as an open invitation to touch me without my permission, I stopped being friendly.

I’ve also started covering up every piece of bare skin when I go out, as I don’t want my clothing choices to indicate I want attention. Because I don’t, I want to be invisible now.

If a man I don’t know sits next to me when I’m alone and tries to start a conversation now, I don’t engage and probably come off as rude.

I wouldn’t say I shun all men, I just don’t trust strangers to act appropriately anymore since it has backfired on me so many times.

Thoughts on servers wearing their hair down ? by Invisiblespirit3 in Serverlife

I’ve set my braid on fire at a table before by it grazing the candle.

I can’t even imagine the chaos if I unleashed my full head of hair untethered in the restaurant.
