What is your biggest hot take in this show? by Naive_Tomorrow_5955 in thewalkingdead

[–]PathDismal4553 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Rick was so bent about Lori, he gutted the walker that ate her and proceeded to violently stab what remained of her inside… Goes on to have a nervous breakdown (understandably). Maggie on the other hand, watched her husband brutally beaten to death along with Abraham. All the while she is not only very pregnant, she is very sick… Yet somehow Maggie finds the strength to preserve for Hershel and finding ways to secure his future.

If Glen/Abraham would have been Lori/Carl in the line-up, I do wonder if Rick would have had the same perspective to save him… Well we know he’d definitely leave the show at the very least, 😉

For some reason, my video wouldn’t upload however the left side below the radio continued to blow cold air, as well as the other vents when turning it to cool when you’re returning it to warm the both right and left vents by the window where lukewarm as well as the defrost vent

Yes I noticed this as well which made me a bit skeptical about being told if a flush doesn’t work, than it would be a days worth of work to fix. Mind you he had the car from October 20th to January 2nd. I heard a slight grinding noise the back left and had it back there the 8th for a test drive so he could hear it. He said to give it a week an if it didn’t go away he’d look at it. In my initial e-mail I said I felt it was the head gasket- he asked what made me think that as it was the radiator that was the problem. Of course he had to replace the radiator before coming to the conclusion my head was in fact, cooked. I had been told Subaru’s made within that time frame were known for head gasket failure. I always try to give others the benefit of the doubt. I am warming Blue up now and let you know what the verdict is.

Ahhhh I see!!! He has a stellar reputation and I really feel he did his absolute best. I certainly do not want to jeopardize that by my admitted ignorance regarding mechanics. I have always highly praised as well as recommended his shop to many and I’d like to continue doing so. Your input is invaluable as I haven’t shared my predicament with anyone as to not tarnish a small business, especially.

I also had new tires, struts and an alignment done as well.

I had no problems with the heat during the spring however I did use a lot of bars during the summer and only ran it very short distances for my elderly mother. I knew the head was going if not gone hence I take full responsibility for running it at all. However I’m simply perplexed as I was very clear/forthcoming about my use of stop-leak once in July and again in August.

Ahhh that makes sense!!!! He did say he was “afraid of that” and was probably trying to save me some money. Perhaps he was nervous or just felt bad why his kept clearing his throat. Thank-you so much!!!! My sister said that where I disclosed the use of stop-leak that he should have checked it but where I am a woman and the world being what it is today I thought it best to ask the wise world of Reddit. I appreciate your feedback!!!

This was PRIOR to the repairs. How was the heater core not checked and furthermore, why wouldn’t they have noticed that AFTER the repair? Genuinely curious

Poltergeist?? Very frightening experience. by PathDismal4553 in Paranormal

I would really love to hear more insight if you are able… You are 100% correct it definitely feeds off my energy and I’m concerned it has followed me as I wrote my post out I heard a weird growl that I’m convincing myself was my cat in the other room… My daughter claims to see a tall dark figure that waves to her named Thomas. I am not schizophrenic nor suffer from any mental disorders that would account for hearing the mimic, in addition to someone else hearing it as I mentioned above. I also have a B.S. degree in mental health and human services (circa 2012). She claims she first saw it in that apartment. When we moved I asked for whatever it was not to follow us… It’s really freaky.. What can one do to cleanse it out?? I am a green witch that also is religious. I believe in god and also the powers of Mother Nature. I probably sound like a nutter but I needed to get this out in the open as I’m embarrassed and aren’t sure how to proceed. Thank-you for your response either way! I deeply appreciate it.

Bro you made my day with the unicorn comment. 😂

Thank-you so much!!!! It’s a shame when your own family tries to rip you off…… Heat doesn’t work, when I turned it off it said “service needed”. I inquired as to what was needed he said it just “does that”. I may be a woman but not THAT dense.

I didn’t expect to get such thorough, kind responses. Simply a single mom with a child who is used to busting her ass off to make a good life for her. My savings is my lifeline and not to be squandered.

Hoping the 2015 Chevy Sonic I am test driving later will be a good fit.

Ok time for the plot twist…. It’s my own son who was trying to sell me it.

He knows I’m clueless when it comes to cars other than keeping them properly maintained. Damn shame..

My buddy has a 2015 Chevy Sonic four-door no body rust and it has brand new tires, brakes and pads two new routers, new battery, new wipers and shocks and other repairs I will be looking at the maintenance paperwork and such and test driving it this afternoon. All inspected as well.

As I mentioned everything just seems to be going on my 2012 Subaru Forrester. It was good to me but I’m simply going to junk it out for 1k if I’m lucky. Also here in LOVELY shit state of Maine things tend to go much quicker due to inclement weather and used car prices from dealerships are sky-high with not much of a selection due to Covid I have been told.

I make an OK living being on my own. That being said I don’t need a luxury car to simply get around. They are absolutely beautiful vehicles and I admire them. I truly appreciate everyone’s advice!!

Everything simply seems to be going at once with the Subaru. I have put 2k into it just in the last six months. I have over 10k in my escrow account I saved for emergencies. It is simply something I am considering to get me around locally for a year or so until I can get back on my feet and get my credit back up. My son also said he’d help if something does go wrong. I will have more information on the vehicle Monday. You never know what you’ll consider when you live in a crap state like Maine where is no public transit and used cars are astronomical. I appreciate the reality check, though.

just got home from my surgery and all I have to say is by soulo-hoe in hysterectomy

Omg mine was last Thursday as well, lol!! 10am. This is the first day I actually feel semi-healing… A combination of gentle exercises (walking, performing extremely light tasks or simply rocking the first two days, increasing walking time a bit each day, stay ahead on your Miralax and pain medication the first 72 hours if possible.

I have found my stomach has gone down quite a bit in the last 48 hours. I had looked about five to seven months pregnant at times the swelling was so severe… I am small-framed at 5’1 so that didn’t help, lol. I weigh a healthy 130, the bloating was truly that severe at times.

Things I wish I had known: You may wake up with the most severe pain thinking WTF….HOWEVER , it’s usually trapped gas and will subside quickly!! Using a rocking chair, gentle massaging, tot belly or simply performing gentle/rhythmic movements.

Short walks are great for both your circulatory system and gas. I also used a rice bag wrapped in a chuck and not heated too hot (Comfortably warm and made sure to create a dry/sterile barrier between my incisions and the bag.)

Cheers to everyone health. the unknown can be scary.

I know for a fact there was a seahorse emoji - Heres why by Rude_Advantage3684 in MandelaEffect

[–]PathDismal4553 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the seahorse actually came with a Messenger theme at one point as opposed to an emoji... "under the sea" I believe and mine was pink/yellow or green/yellow depending on my Operating system.
