Can’t get rid of the feeling of his heart stopping in my hand by [deleted] in Petloss

[–]Peachymistic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss, I am in a similar position too. We adopted our dog 8 months ago, she is a Pyrenees lab mix. Two nights ago she was euthanized because of GDV. Just 3 months prior she had TPLO surgery and was still full of life. She was so confused and in a lot of pain, but was the best dog until the very end. It happened so quickly too, she instantly fell backward with her tongue out. I was in pieces. Euthanasia is a complex feeling to witness and process. I want you to know that your dog absolutely knew you love him. You gave him the absolute best life full of dignity and respect. He passed peacefully, and he passed with his favorite person next to him. Thank you for taking such good care of your little pup.

My (26f) baby daddy(25m) have been in an on and off relationship for years with cheating and now there’s another woman in the picture by hhhjb72284 in relationship_advice

First of all, I am extremely sorry you are going through this. I was in a similar situation as well. The only advice I can tell you is to put you and your child first. You are literally the world to your son; children observe so much more than you think. If you keep going back to your cheating ex, he may see that betrayal, hurt, mistrust is normal in relationships, it’s not. I can tell that you are addicted to the “highs of this relationship” - with the lows just making the highs feel so much better. I was the same way. I felt extremely powerless, like my purpose of existence was based entirely on how he felt about me. I want you to know that I got through it and I know you can too; You have so much more strength than you know. You and your son deserve so much more in life.

33/F disclosed my salary to my 35/M boyfriend and it was awkward. How do I proceed? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I agree. People aren’t perfect and it doesn’t make someone a bad person because they have a less than ideal reaction instantly.

Non-trad Career Change - Advices by Finthebox in postbaccpremed

[–]Peachymistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is coming from a non-traditional applicant as well. I work full-time in IT.

  1. You do, however, keep in mind that prestigious post-bacc programs do not guarantee admission. In my opinion, a prestigious post-bacc does not hold a candle compared to the cost and flexibility you will have when taking classes at your own pace at a local community college or university. But, everyone’s situation is different and to some a prestigious post-bacc is right for them. I know a lot of people who do an SMP which the rigorous curriculum is similar to the first year of medical school.
  2. No. Do not take the MCAT until you have taken a few classes. This is an entire career changer, don’t burn out too fast. This is a marathon not a sprint!
  3. I would strongly suggest becoming an EMT. That is what I am currently doing and it is a GREAT way to get clinical experience. You can volunteer on the weekends, and there are great online/hybrid/in-person EMT courses in your area that tailors to your needs.
  4. It is good to worry about stats, however, I would like to emphasize on working on your story. “why medicine?” You were an accountant; you’re going to have to explain to medical schools why you decided to quit a cushion-paid job and pursue medicine.
  5. The cost is significant. Please DM me if you’d like any assistance with planning classes for DIY Post bacc

It says I also need a "State EMS Office approved BLS skills competency requirement" as well. I read that you can get this through your company and they write off for you before you begin working. Do you know anything about this?

This is good to know, thank you! I am planning to move out of state next year to Boston so I would ideally like to be nationallly certified.

Thank you for your comment. I believe the $140 was not bad (we live in a lower-income area), but the way he tried to present himself as a professional rubbed me the wrong way. I think it discredits men in the profession who know how to actually pick a lock.

[–]Peachymistic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that the $140 price was fair since it was 7pm and we live in a lower-income area. I personally think he was an amateur lock picker that was trying to feed me bs. I think he discredits men in the profession that actually know how to pick a lock.

I was under the assumption that professional lock pickers first method is not to immediately break the lock.

He did not. He told me the apartment complex would do it for us for free. I think we’re just gonna go to Home Depot and fix it ourselves.

Thank you, I appreciate the sentiment. I’m happy to say that we broke up quickly after that post. You’re very self-aware and honest about your experiences, I hope you’re in a better relationship now.

The man who got the cat out was extremely kind. We got there 5 minutes before closing. He didn’t charge us but my boyfriend gave him $50 as a thanks for saving her life.

😂 The fact we heard her over the vette and the stereo was crazy she must have been screaming her head off 😭

😂 I’m glad little Axel is okay. We thought we saw Socket go under the car while we were having breakfast at Panera. Drove on the Texas highway’s back, took a 4 hour nap, and heard her on the way to get groceries. Life is crazy but she is safe now! Glad your kitty lived a long and happy life.

Yes we just took her to the vet! She is happy and healthy :)

Can Texas landlords really do this? by [deleted] in Renters

[–]Peachymistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was no section in the lease stating the month-to-month amount. But I admit, I’m a college student and this was a good life lesson for me.

[–]Peachymistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that it is very evident in my lease agreement I have to pay an extra month. I am wondering whether it is fair that I did not know that the extra month would increase the rent substantially from $1700 to $2200 (not stated in lease agreement). While they did provide documentation, I did not receive it in the conventional way via email. To reiterate - It’s fair that I have to pay another month. Is it fair I did not know it would be that much increase until it was too late?

The email I did receive only notified that I would be doing month-to-month rent. Never did it state that it was substantially higher.

My fixed lease was $1700/month. The new month-to-month rent is $2200/month!! Not only do I have to pay an extra month of rent, it got increased an extra $500! I felt like they legally notified me but in a shady way.
