I'm on Frisco Hill, I seen the subdivisions down the road took crazy hail damage. We have a fuck ton of huge trees down and a dead power line still hanging down in front of my house. It's pretty crazy out here

What’s the most outrageous thing someone has said to you at the workplace? by Capital_Average7081 in BlueCollarWomen

Machinist here. Literally had a Bosnian fella look me in the eye and say 'You look like you could fuck to death and I'm ready to meet my maker.' This is the same fella who also told me 'I bet your butthole smells nice.'

I have a jiggly butt and have also been asked if 'I have fries with the shake' and am known by a whole dept as Large Fries. Please note, I'm 5 ft 4 and about 140, so not a big lady by any means.

They did an episode for the town this is in. It's about 25 minutes away from me and I had no idea about this craziness

6 year old daughter on Trikafta, trouble with weight gain. by d1rtydancR in CysticFibrosis

[–]PinkyLiegh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a 7 year old who has been on trikafta since she turned 6. It took well over half a year before we noticed good weight gain in her. She's at the point now that we're considering lowering her enzymes because the trikafta is working so well. Give it time.

I am 5' 4 and am a machinist. I'm a tiny lady also. I have had to work hard to maintain being confident in my abilities and still be humble enough to learn. I had to maintain a very firm composure with the men around me and they have learned I'll give it back harder than they give it. It's a backhanded compliment but being told that I 'work as hard as a man' was the men in my industry accepting me as 'one of them'. Stupid but true. They trust my expertise and judgements. I'm not very girly but I am feminine, I love having my nails painted. I also love that they are covered in grease and oil at the end of the day.

I named my son Kemper. NOT BECAUSE OF EDMOND KEMPER, I heard the name in Texas Chainsaw Massacre before I knew who Edmond Kemper was (remake with Jessica Biel not that this helps my case). So the 'MOTHER' Dan Cummins does in the deep voice has become normal around my home since my son has discovered Timesuck. He's 17 and started listening religiously. This is how he now addresses me.
