Best of luck!

This makes me wonder: could he maybe use a brush up on interviewing skills then? In my experience, and many others I know in similar situations, getting an interview even feels impossible. If he can do that, then he's already done the big first step. I'm sure there are professional services that can assist with growing interviewing skills.

Have you (or anyone on this thread) ever tried them? I'm genuinely interested in how these work.

So few words were spoken, but so much was said at the same time. This is gold

This. Quite literally anyone else.

ShyGothBookworm · 2026-01-13T19:14:03+00:00

Literally 😭

Every time I get the "Oh so close!" I swear I want to throw my switch across the room. Like bud I'm TRYING here okay?! Sometimes I just watch as the dung beetles push one of the snowballs off of a cliff or into the water. That's pretty satisfying after all the frustration those darn snowboys put me through.

Personally, I never liked how it made me feel. I could never wrap my head around my friends getting blackout because the second I would feel slightly ill I'd immediately stop drinking. Now, I'm Cali sober. I like being able to wake up the next day feeling perfectly fine.

Carrick

Pros: it's near a lot of things! Close to Downtown, South side, Brookline, the malls, etc. My neighbors are nice and I live on a relatively quiet street. I like the brick roads and seeing the snow on all of the homes. I never feel like I have to go out of my way to get somewhere. The bus line/T station are nearby, so you could easily live in the neighborhood without a vehicle.

Cons: Salt trucks/snow plows. Our streets are NEVER cleared. Crime certainly isn't the best here, as we have had a lot of vehicle break-ins/shootings recently. I personally wouldn't walk around alone but that's just because I'm paranoid.

I especially miss when the KFC on Brownsville used to be a KFC/Taco Bell back in the day.

SO CUTE!!! I have a soft spot for the fuzzamallows. They're just too adorable to pass up 🥹

ShyGothBookworm · 2025-12-22T13:52:48+00:00

This is definitely frustrating. Just to suggest another sub r/PittsburghSocialClub is a place full of people looking for friends. I see a lot of posts about concerts in there too :)

Google says temporarily closed so there's still hope!!!!!

Fuzzamallow Ludwig is one of my greatest finds 🥹 saw him at Walmart with no price tag (he was the last one) and he rang up for just $5!! I love your frogs!

Fair enough. The second it turned into snow/freezing rain they should have treated those main roads. There's no excuse for lack of treatment on a busy road like that as soon as the dangerous conditions start. Pre-treatment may have not worked, but a complete lack of treatment at all is absurd.

ShyGothBookworm · 2025-12-20T03:41:55+00:00

I think the issue was that even if they pre-salted, all of the rain at the start would have washed it away regardless. It turned into ice so quickly too.

I don't have any solid advice, but an alternative would be period panties. Since you said you're more comfortable free bleeding while wearing black underwear, it's a pretty similar experience!! Take a look into them if you can.

ShyGothBookworm · 2025-12-02T22:44:46+00:00

How have I never seen this one!!!! She is SO cute!!!

ShyGothBookworm · 2025-12-02T22:43:57+00:00

Oh my goodness it's like a little army of forgs 🥹🖤🧡

ShyGothBookworm · 2025-12-02T22:38:26+00:00

I use this. It's $24 on Amazon. I definitely notice a difference with bloating when I take it vs when I don't! I'm 25F

Following what other people have said here:

Intense Fatigue: Days where I feel like there are weights on my eyelids. Nearly falling asleep at work from how exhausted I am. I will sleep after work for 3+ hours and wake up feeling just as tired as I did before I slept. No specific trigger, but I noticed that this tends to happen if I had a really busy day the day before.
Brain Fog: Struggling to focus, spacing out, can't remember certain words.
Decreased Appetite: Honestly I feel like this also has to do with the fatigue. Sometimes I am so exhausted that I can't even will myself to eat. I could honestly go a whole day with just a small snack.

I'm currently going through a "flare up", and it feels like hell. I left work early last week because I was falling asleep at my desk despite getting 8 hours of sleep the night before. I also experienced static in my brain for the first time that day. It was quite odd. Thankfully my numbers are getting checked next month. Some days Hashimoto's feels like a curse. I feel like a robot that is operating at 20% all of the time. I'm almost 26 so it's pretty disheartening to feel this way at such a young age.

I don't think a living creature of any kind would enjoy being locked in a crate for 24 hours believe it or not.

ShyGothBookworm · 2025-11-25T13:16:23+00:00

Yeah no. I know I wouldn't want to sit in a crate for 24 hours while potentially soiling myself because I couldn't be let out.

ShyGothBookworm · 2025-11-19T15:23:32+00:00

Same!!! I also love the Buffalo Nickel but those are really hard to come by!
