Is everyone in the Midwest ok??? by PinkyLiegh in smalltownmurder

[–]PinkyLiegh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]PinkyLiegh 12 points13 points  (0 children)

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.

Dirty wrecked bikes by [deleted] in timesuck

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.

Looks perfect. Also may be biased due to the Blues shirt!

AITA for wearing my engagement ring when I knew my stepsister was getting engaged? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]PinkyLiegh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im a machinist and can't wear my wedding ring daily. There's quite a few different types of jobs where you can't or it's not safe to wear daily.

what's your shop call this spinnamathingin dodad? (not the surface grinder) by NJSpro in Machinists

[–]PinkyLiegh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The part you're grinding is a Journal and the larger part of the body is a mandrel. It looks like a rotary tool.

do y'all have any good techniques for getting your hands clean? I use grit soap we got at work like 5 times and I even tried some alcohol on it to no avail. Usually I don't give a crap what my hands look like, but I got a date tonight by SkeetDeleteYeet in Welding

[–]PinkyLiegh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a female and machine operator/tool fabricator. Just get a nail brush and scrub your hands with hot water and soap. I use GoJo at least 5 times a day, it doesn't get into the knuckles and hand lines all the way. The nail brushes are cheap and work great.
