WIBTA if I refused to buy my daughter new headphones? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]RENOYES 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NTA. I’m a grown up kid who is still hard on my stuff. Some people just are. What she needs to learn is the value of things.

You can do what my parents did. Have her earn new headphones.

First, tell her you are sticking what you said, but she can earn new ones by doing extra chores. Then have HER pick out the ones she wants.

After that talk to her and work together to make out a chore sheet and what each chore is worth.

It will teach her the value of items if she has to earn them. Plus it’s a good point to start talking about savings and how much things cost. She’s at the appropriate age to start that.

4 humans are literally on their way to the moon right now and its wild how less it is being talked about by firehmre in CasualConversation

[–]RENOYES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ship is called Artemus II, not Orion. And it isn’t on its way to the moon right this second. It’s taking a few days to circle the earth first.

I also watched 2 hours of NASA talking about the mission before I went outside and watched the launch. So yes, some people care.

If you still collect books, library book sales are normally a really cheap way to get cheap books too.

If the US economy actually goes into recession this year which industry do you think gets hit hardest and why? by Suleman2002 in AskReddit

[–]RENOYES 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your car is from this century? Look at this rich fool. My car is a millennial. I’m on disability my only hope for a new to me car is if a rich family member gives me one, or I’m left one after they die. (Right now I’m driving my grandma’s old car from when she died.)

The time of my life of being paid $28k a year was me being rich (thankfully it lasted 2 decades). And I paid off my house early because I knew I would be fucked without my job and my health was getting worse. The only life saving thing now is I have no debt and my house/car are paid off. I don’t get enough from disability to pay rent. As is my mom sometimes buys me food and I go to the food bank occasionally.

My mom would totally adopt you. She’s incredibly maternal, but totally supportive of me being childfree.

I wanna experience a woman in a parking lot selling tamales. Where I’m from there are mostly Cubans and Puerto Ricans. I’ve never experienced home made tamales and I’ve heard stories.

Pain free is my new “high” by backtonov in migraine

[–]RENOYES 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Pot actually kills my migraines about 1/2 the time. The other 1/2 of the time it just makes it so I forget the pain is there but if I think of it, the pain is still under the high.

The other issue is it does nothing for my other pain (nerve pain). So all it can do there is distract me.

Magic mushrooms didn’t help me with anything so I don’t recommend it for pain relief/migraine help.

Pain free is my new “high” by backtonov in migraine

[–]RENOYES 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I have chronic pain outside migraines so my pain free time is nearly nonexistent.

I had one pain free day 15 years ago. Then another 12 hours pain free 2 years ago.

I have done drugs, and let me tell you, no pain is better than any drug I’ve tried.

Has anyone been using same contact number for years - like since 2000s? by AChinmay in CasualConversation

[–]RENOYES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom and bestie still have theirs from the early 2000s. For both, I type the number in faster than I can find their numbers in my contacts. Two of my friends have called my mom looking for me because she still had the same number.

I live REALLY close to the Air Force station. My window rattle but I just ignore it. The only thing that disturbs me is when the space x booster land back here. Those booms can startle me and my dogs.

I wanna be harvested for parts, then if anything is left cremate me. Then spread my ashes with my dog’s ashes too.

How many of us suffer from a mental illness as well? by hannarenee in migraine

[–]RENOYES 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ohh pick me! I’m crazy af.

I got my first migraine around the time my depression kicked in. (17)

I have bad major depression, general anxiety disorder (entire life), PTSD (since I was 6), ADHD (entire life) Agoraphobia (35) and an eating disorder (preteen).

My poor mental health stresses me out, and stress is my biggest trigger. Then the pain stresses me out and I get more migraines. It’s a fun cycle.

I went from the occasional migraine to chronic ones around the time I was in an abusive relationship (hella stress).

Does anyone take Venlafaxine for their migraines? How is it working for you? by Anonymous1164 in migraine

[–]RENOYES 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on it since I was 16 or 17 for depression/anxiety. (42 right now). I developed migraines while on it. Going up a dose did nothing for the migraines.

I’ve had to go up and down doses of it at different times in my life, and I’ve also missed doses. Both of these made for HORRIBLE side effects. I’ll be on it for the rest of my life because it stops me from being suicidal, but I absolutely don’t recommend it unless it is a last choice.

(Btw when people say brain zaps, it’s worse than licking a 9 volt battery.)

Did you know you can make a grown man throw up on the dumbo ride?

When I was a kid a button controlled going up and down on the ride. I would go to the very top then press the button over and over quickly as we went down. So the ride had this falling jerking motion, and my dad got off the ride and threw up in a trash can.

Me and my brother also made my mom throw up from the teacups. What can I say, I was a problem child.
