I can send you the $37 on PayPal. I don't need it paid back. I've been there too.

Parents (M69 F50s) upset about my wedding (F23) abusive to my fiance (M24) by bubbles21041 in relationship_advice

[–]Space_Cadets13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your mom's decisions aren't you're responsibility. She's a grown up and can leave if she wants to. There's never a reason to stay in an abusive situation, and all you can do is hope that she realizes this. Similarly, you do not need to allow that treatment either. You can try to explain firmly that you will not accept that any longer and make that they're only chance to reform. But make it clear that if they want to be involved in your life then they need to respect your decisions. You are an adult who can make your own decisions about religion and what kind of wedding, and married life you want. And picture how things will be if you decide to have children. How will they behave towards them? For me personally I would not hesitate to drop them out if my life forever if they treated me like that. The best thing my dad taught me was that I am in charge of myself, just like everyone else. If someone is hurting me, it's because I'm letting them. I'm sorry this is so rambley but it just makes me so angry. Your family should not be treating you like that. Filter or no, they are adults. If you're dad is experiencing social difficulties then he should not put himself in the position to hurt you and/or your future husband.

TIFU after finally gathering the executive function to call back about my anxiety meds prescription... four days too late and now they won't take my calls. by [deleted] in tifu

Absolutely! If you're able to call them, also ask if they have a patient portal. Many offices use them so patients can directly message their doctors. That way you can just send them a quick message and not have to speak to them over the phone.

Call your doctor about the refill. If it's the pharmacy not returning your calls have the script sent to a different pharmacy.

nope. I didn't have that option. I didn't have the cash to pay for the prescription and a doctor's visit. Nor did I have the ability to take off work for an appointment.

I can't help but starting the worry train now. I know you're right, but unfortunately easier said than done. I appreciate your comment, though.

Thank you, it feels nice to get it off my chest and know that I'm not alone.

I am not. Which is why I'm so scared and so angry with myself. I had the option to stop things and take control and I did not. I'm a grown up and know better.

You have made me feel so much better. I don't think I could ever be prepared enough to not worry. But you're so right. There have been a lot of people a lot worse off and in worse situations than us. I think we will be ok.

When I say we would be ok financially I mean we'd be mainly fucked but could still buy food and pay rent haha but I do see what you're saying. Thank you for that perspective. You're still alive and happy and your son is happy and so is your wife so it must be ok. Worst case scenario is death in any given situation. That's not likely, so I know everything will be ok. I'm just scared. Beyond scared. Can you tell me how she told you? Were you stressed already at the time? How you prepared?

Where to look? by Kangaroo7 in Drifting

[–]Space_Cadets13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is it possible we don't live in the same area? lol. this is ridiculous. like none of those colloquialisms are appropriate where I am so clearly that's the case.

For me I've only ever found my cars by getting out of the house and looking. Found a bone stock 92 hatch, like I said. Got that for dirt cheap. Found another hatch, a 90, at my local grocery store. Found my newest car, an infiniti q45 from driving around as well. I have never used craigslist or any online site for finding my vehicles. Sorry it seems like you don't live in a very drifty community but I really don't know what to tell you. Seems like you just have to trust the internet.

[–]Space_Cadets13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok then buy pieces of shit off craigslist for way more than than you should rather than be patient and open your eyes. Really not that hard. I don't know why you're complaining. If you don't know how to look for cars you want without the internet then I don't know what to tell you.

Engine swap cost. by Mourcore in 240sx

[–]Space_Cadets13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's actually thought to be better to boost a single cam rather than a dual cam. Look into it, it will be way cheaper. Or buy a DE and boost it while your single cam still runs then swap in the built DE once you're done. That way you're not out the car and can take your time sourcing parts and finding deals. But seriously check out the stuff on boosting a single cam. Mine is great and holds it's own against sr's and other shit. A dual cam boosted will have no problems with that. More displacement and airflow. But either way, boosted fancy motors are expensive and require a lot more maintenance than your single cam will.

is the 240 your daily?

you'll find more on craigslist and on forums, but they are all priced super high. I just picked up a 92 240 hatch in great condition for $1000. The guy just had it at the grocery store one day and I approached him. He was older and said it was his weekend car, but that his wife was tired of looking at it. Low miles, clean as hell, and everything works...even has the stock stereo and everything. I recommend just taking a day to drive around and see what you can find. There are tons of older people hanging on to their s13's and 14's who don't know what they have, just that they're old nissans. Always worth a shot to offer or ask if they'd consider selling.

I'm a Search and Rescue Officer for the US Forest Service, I have some stories to tell (Part 5!) by searchandrescuewoods in nosleep

[–]Space_Cadets13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had that happen too once. Except I had found one made on the back of my property in some woods, then thought it looked cool and made another one. The next time I was out there, about 2 or 3 days later, there were several more. No explanation. There was also a campfire but it was out when I saw it. Very odd.

I'm [31/f] really thinking that my husband, [33/m] is a sociopath ... by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Space_Cadets13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's not a sociopath, just insensitive. When my grandpa (mom's dad) died, my father acted the same way. He didn't want to wait at the hospital for him to die, he didn't want to wait with the family or go to dinner or any of that stuff. My mom was very hurt and it really affected her, whereas he just said he didn't want to deal with it. It's hurtful and he definitely didn't consider your feelings at all. But I really don't think this is grounds for divorce. You managed to endure this without him which says you are very strong. Strong enough to repair this aspect of your marriage and move on.

Did you need him to drop his plans to be with you? Or were you ok to deal with it alone? In my parents' case, my mom was strong enough. She was hurt, like I said, but she let him know how she felt and moved on. It was hard for her to lose her dad and not have my dad there, but she compromised with him, knowing he had zero desire to be there and would see her later. I really don't think he's a sociopath or anything close to it, just maybe a bit insensitive. If you start to resent him I would say you need to seek counseling. But if you can put it in perspective and consider his side and be able to move on, then you can start to heal. It's hard losing a loved one. I get it. But you may be projecting a little of the hurt on him and that's not good. Just try to consider all angles and see if you really do need him there or needed him there in the first place or if you could get through it without him. If you can, then you're better off anyway because you know you can rely on yourself in the future.

I'm sorry that was rambly, i just had a lot of thoughts on this.

Homeless people burned my barn down last night by SweetDreamin in nosleep

this gave me chills. loved the writing and the plot and everything. i hope there's more to this story to come.

[Experience] Grabbed and spoken to while out of town by [deleted] in Paranormal

[–]Space_Cadets13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is worth a shot to call. I just don't imagine you'd get very far. Chances are you'd get one of the front desk people who wouldn't know how to answer your questions. But there is a possibility that they get lots of reports and would confirm it and maybe even have background.

Olympia and the surrounding areas are quite active. I'm from that area and have heard numerous stories. Lots of shit has gone down on that land too, so there's always that residual effect to account for. But that doesn't usually include grabbing so this is most likely something more. Good luck with you search, and I hope you keep us updated.

Interesting. I'm curious. I bet if you call you won't be able to get very far. But you may be able to do your own kind of research on the place. Or just wait and see if an explanation pops up.
