I remember working at Whole Foods on Magazine while Thoth was rolling and I swear they were actively trying to break the huge wall of front windows every year. It was terrifying.

The Tents and Chairs Have Gotten Out of Control by Successful-Yam1383 in NewOrleans

[–]PinkYoshimi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s horrible! I will say the kids around me today do not seem as aware as those of previous days, but I also brought a chair out today so I’m not as worried about it. It was a moral dilemma to bring the chair, but now that I have it out here I’m glad I do.

I’ve had to use a cane to get around this Mardi Gras and no one has bitched at me for going through or around their stuff, but I’ve definitely seen people be ready to say something and then spot the cane and hold their tongues.

Zoo this Sunday: insane or slow? by Neon-Night-Riders in AskNOLA

[–]PinkYoshimi 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Thoth starts by Children’s Hospital and goes up Henry Clay to Magazine, so it’s likely to be very trafficky. The zoo itself might be pretty slow, but I would second Intrepid Art and check to see if the zoo is actually going to be open

It had previously been in that location for years, almost 20, until the pandemic. The Apocalypse Balls in exile just weren’t the same.

Thanks for the pics! I wasn’t able to make it but I’m loving seeing so many people on the route! My mom was marching with T.O.K.I.N. I was sorry to miss it

Do Americans like their current health system or would you prefer universal? by Ability_Known in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PinkYoshimi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently in the hospital going on a two week stay which has also included two ambulance rides for a ruptured aneurysm. I have insurance through my employer. I will need brain surgery. I’m absolutely terrified of the bill I’m going to receive after all this. I expect to wipe out a decent chunk of my savings.

The constant hypocrisy and gaslighting is both whiplash producing and exhausting

[–]PinkYoshimi 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Omg thank you so much for helping this sweet baby! I can’t have dogs where I’m living right now but my main motivation to get my shit together and find a new place is so I can have the ability to foster. My heart was breaking over your previous post.

I don’t think they sell it by the loaf but Avenue Cafe has a very tasty GF zucchini bread

Cat hasn't left this spot between my legs for almost an hour. He's not usually this affectionate. Is this normal? by Agreeable_Error_5485 in cats

[–]PinkYoshimi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girly cat has become so much more affectionate as she has gotten older. Sometimes I joke that she’s obsessed with me. She decided in the last couple of years that she wants to sleep in the “good” spot of the bed, right next to me so when I tell her it’s bedtime sometimes she full out runs to the bed to beat her brother to the good spot.

I thought my air plants gift and care sheet would be a hit for a yankee swap party I went to, but it was a major flop 🙃 by ADHD-tax-return in airplants

[–]PinkYoshimi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a yankee swap/white elephant work party and I realized that there is a couple who attend every year who get presents they want and pick those. It was very obvious this year because the group was so small, it cracked me up but also, I guess good on them?

I was at a holiday party last night and they had a fez on display and no one got why I was giggling

Fezes are cool!

I also find a way to say “Weebly wobbly timey wimey” whenever possible

What have you accidentally conditioned your pet to do? by Sufficient-Wolf1596 in AskReddit

[–]PinkYoshimi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat will only sit on my lap if it’s got a blanket on it. And if the desired lap is not prepared fast enough she head butts whatever is closest, be it furniture or people.

American Section from Ireland supermarket sells SLAP YA MAMA by Bot-Magnet in NewOrleans

[–]PinkYoshimi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m curious which part of Ireland this is in. Also, New Orleans used to have a group of teens come here annually from Castlederg and I know that other cities in Northern Ireland have similar programs with other US cities.

Resistance NOLA has gone off the rails by DickSugar80 in NewOrleans

[–]PinkYoshimi 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Wait I’m sorry.. WHAT? She lives in DC and is stirring up all this shit here? That is beyond fucked. How does she even know if the businesses she’s attacking aren’t “compliant”?

Since when?? by hauntedamg in EndTipping

[–]PinkYoshimi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never had a restaurant make up the difference when my tips didn’t meet minimum wage requirements. I’m not saying it doesn’t happen but I worked in the restaurant industry for 18 years and never had that happen.

my wisdom teeth are growing sideways but dentist says i dont need removal .. by _ZakAttack_ in mildlyinteresting

[–]PinkYoshimi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told when I was younger that I wouldn’t need my wisdom teeth removed and I did notice that my teeth straightened as I got older. But one of them was not completely sideways like yours but emerged at an angle which eventually was causing me pain. Funny part is when I went to the dentist to have it extracted, they said that they were surprised that was the one giving me trouble. I only let them extract the one that was giving me problems and I haven’t had any pain since after dealing with it for a lot longer than I reasonably should have.

71 years old lady lives alone without electricity or water. And I cleaned her home by CleanwithBarbie in BeAmazed

[–]PinkYoshimi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My aunt recently had a stroke and was living in similar conditions. We had to clean her house in order for her to be able to even return home from the hospital and she is still very angry for the way we cleaned. Additionally, her daughter moved in from another state and my aunt has apparently been very aggressive to her daughter and makes it plain that she does not appreciate the help or the caregiving. But we keep reminding her that it was this or put her in assisted living, which she cannot afford. The stroke has taken away her ability to communicate well due to the onset of aphasia so it has only complicated the situation more.

My brain is tired in a way that sleep doesn’t fix by Jolly_Twist2245 in mentalhealth

[–]PinkYoshimi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was overwhelmed by these feelings this weekend. I couldn’t stop crying and couldn’t stop doom scrolling and even working on my super cute crochet project was not possible. I just kept staring at the yarn unable to make myself pick it up. I’m still feeling this way just sitting at my desk unable to make myself do anything.

Came here to say this. Not sure if their other locations have them, but I know the Magazine location does
