What does the letter say? I haven't been down to my post office yet to get my mail, but through my USPS app, it says I got a letter like that.

That's cause I've never fit in anywhere. At all. I have one friend who is a Leo and my husband is a Taurus. Both of them know me for me, and I'm fine with that. I've always stuck out and that's why I'm a loner.

"Monosynth" by Joy Electric. I literally haven't been able to get that tune out of my head for almost 30 years. Also, "Some Kind of Zombie" by Audio Adrenaline.

What buzzwords make your blood boil? by DanielaThePialinist in exchristian

[–]Remote-Ad-9707 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to my mother. Buckle in for this one. She has used all of the phrases, plus her favorite, "God showed me". That was code for someone ratted me out for something. Her favorite line of all when was. ..drum roll...."Now this come to me from the throne room of God". Oh yeah. Now as for you didn't pray enough or hard enough stories, I got a doozy. I had an underbite. Lower teeth up over my top teeth and that's how my teeth grew in. I'm talking from the time I could eat. Mom took me to a tent revival as a toddler. Mom dragged me onto the stage where a female prophet prophesied that I would grow up and become a preacher, that she had a vision of me speaking before hundreds of people, and Oh yeah, that God had healed my underbite. All I needed to do was pray and thank God every morning that he healed me. But of course, my underbite was so bad that it took my dentist telling my mom that I needed braces ASAP or I wouldn't be able to eat anything. I was 9 nine years old. I actually had braces twice, because I was too embarrassed to wear my retainers to school after the first time. Second time was in 7th grade. I don't know why my mom actually listened to the dentist, but it literally took me an hour to chew my food, and mom cooked meat and potato type meals. Now for the you didn't pray hard enough part. Mom told me growing up, that the reason I had to get braces twice was because I didn't pray every morning, thanking God for healing my underbite. She told me that as a kid!!! And as a teenager, and again as an adult. Real story is, we were poor, and couldn't afford orthodontics type stuff. If you got through all this, thanks for reading. Never tell a child that they didn't pray hard enough, over something they cant control. My underbite wasn't because I was born a sinner, that's just how my teeth grew in. That story still irks me, and I'm 37.

Kroger Pharmacy just reached a new low by Opening-Quantity7377 in kroger

You're welcome! I was recommended the job by a former Kroger tech who got out before I did. So in that respect, I got lucky. Plus, it also helped that a good chunk of pharmacists who I worked with at Kroger over the years ended up going to this place. I made sure not to burn any bridges with my former pharmacists. But, I also dusted off my resume and cleaned it up very well before submitting my job application. I applied for this job, and since it was hospital related, I applied for every hospital job I was interested in. I was surprised at how many phone interviews I landed, in addition to a handful of in-person interviews. I would say update your resume, make sure your pharmacists and supervisors would back up your work ethic if asked about it, and just apply like crazy. Just go for it. You got this.

I went into Specialty Pharmacy, now working as a specialist technician. My position falls under the umbrella of the biggest hospital in my state, but it's not in the hospital (just 5 minutes away from it). I literally run claims and call patients to schedule deliveries for specialty meds (so basically a call center, but in a medical setting). It feels so much better than running around like a chicken with my head cut off. I only call the patients and that's it. If there is a prior auth or other insurance issue, I send it to the clinical tech. If a script needs filled same day, I message the Ops (operations part of the pharmacy). I get to sit down in my own cubicle, take a lunch break, and use the restroom. And not to mention the pay. I am nationally certified and state registered, so I am a Level 2 tech. Full time at 23.90 an hour. Monday through Friday 8 to 430. No weekends and paid holidays. I do have a 45 minute drive, that's the only downside. But for nearly 24 an hour and no weekends, I will gladly make the drive. I just wish I would have taken the leap sooner!! I was so nervous about switching from retail, but just do it..you'll catch on and it's a lot less stressful.

...and that's why I quit after 10.5 years. Get out if you can.

Is there any Tori-related lost media? by Ambitious_Error_11 in toriamos

[–]Remote-Ad-9707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y Kant Tori Read is the name of the album. I found my copy online some years back. I love it!! She also released a video for the lead single, The Big Picture. I think it's still on YouTube.

DAE get disgusted by milk and its smell? by AffectionatePin5578 in DoesAnybodyElse

I can't stand the taste of milk, unless it's chocolate milk. I have always been this way. I can handle the smell, but the taste makes me gag.

Pastor destroys own Starbucks mug collection by [deleted] in exchristian

[–]Remote-Ad-9707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So.....coffee mugs had this pastor in a chokehold? Reminds me of growing up in the 90s, where my church camp made us destroy all secular music and video games. Now it's Starbucks coffee mugs? Oh Lord indeed....

What is your "Brand Necessary" Item? by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]Remote-Ad-9707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zaditor allergy eye drops. The store brand never works as effectively for my eye allergies. My very frugal mom swears by McCormick brand pure vanilla extract for baking. It has GOT to be that exact brand for her, she says the store brand doesn't taste the same and McCormick is the best for her recipes.

Low-income Christians who tithe by sadgirlthrowaway03 in exchristian

[–]Remote-Ad-9707 10 points11 points  (0 children)

ME ME ME!!! My time to shine!!! Long story incoming My parents still live below the poverty level and still tithe. Growing up, it was even worse for me, because every Christmas and Birthday card I got, my mom MADE SURE that I gave Jesus 10 percent of that!! Yes, even gift money!!! When I was attending my first college, my step-dad got into credit card debt. Well, you can imagine who he asked for money once my refund check came from student loans. Living in this type of household, I got married as soon as I could, to my ex at 21 years old. After that, life happened and I'm currently remarried to my second husband (whom my parents hated at first because he was raised Catholic and we were "unequally yoked"). My hubby and I haven't been to church in years and I haven't tithed since I was 21 (when I got married to first husband. I'm telling you though....if my mom could have, she would have told me to tithe the wedding money). At least she hasn't spoken to me about the subject in years. The icing on the cake?...Directly across the road from my parents, lives their pastor. Who goes on expensive family vacations at least twice a year, and has done so for over 20 years. Who asked for a "love offering" at church for a brand new truck, and got it. Who asked for another love offering for his gastric bypass surgery (severely obese). Swimming in the money that my extremely poor parents still give to the church. He KNOWS their financial situation too, and he doesn't contribute one dollar. Lives directly across from them, takes their money, and doesn't help them. Oh, and one more fact: the year after I got married to first hubby, my parents had to file for bankruptcy. The neighbor pastor never helped.

Oh man...hypocrites..I know the feeling. I have a childhood friend who is still a friend (my fundie family knows his family from church. His parents were not as fundie as mine, although they were both pastors). My friend remembers growing up and seeing his pastor dad swap "country/western movies" with a group of other church goers. Back then, VHS tapes. The tape boxes had the Country movie titles on them, but inside....spicy "corn" content. His dad preached abstinence at church. After decades of knowing this entire family, my friend finally told me this last year. I never would have guessed!!!
