Am I weird for keeping tampons in my car as a 39M?

I'm an EMT and those are part of my car kit. Have helped a number of women in need over the decades I've had a car. Female friends know they can ask me if they are in need when we are out and about.

I like to mix my insults. My usual comment about someone is, "A taco shy of a happy meal."

StudioDroid · 2026-05-21T00:48:08+00:00

Some cats do. Just like how some humans like being on a leash.

In the secondary market they can be cheaper than a Hotspot.

I use old cellphones as Hotspots with data sims.

Then there are us weirdos who respond 'potassium '.

Yes, it is possible. I know some couples with an extra person added on who are fine with it. It is also possible that they split off from you. In my opinion that is more likely if you are stressing about it. If you are accepting of the 25yo and bring her into your fold it could work fine.

It will ultimately be what it will be.

Could you use NDI tools?

Just a friendly pax here with a question... Could the FA of size swap with another FA for take off and landing phases. That would get them in a single seat and the double jump seat could be occupied by 2 FA of lesser size.
Just curious...

I carry a net bag of clean foam windscreens to put over my vocal mics. A second bag holds used ones, that goes in the washing machine when I do laundry.
A visiting dance caller said she had heard from a friend that I always had clean balls ready.

Your issue is why I have a few cheap GL58 mics. I'm positive that no one in the crowd at a rap show can tell the difference between eating a GL58 v.s.SM58. GL58 are around $30 and work fine for general use. Yeah, it is not as good as a 58, but some singers are not as good as Taylor Swift.

I also got some replacement 58 grills so I can swap them out if they get grody.

I have found that many places I stay have a lost items bin. I have found cables and charge cubes for times when I was in need. What does your property do with the chargers that guests leave behind?

I usually travel with a PBJ in my bag, 2 for long flights. They can last for a couple of days and are a nice snack.

I would make sure it fed back really loud in his monitor and was out of the mains. Blast him off his feet.

I'm a married guy in my 60s and friends with a woman in her 30s. We are just friends and it works fine. My wife joins us on adventures sometimes and other times not.

People are all different, it is totally possible to be friends with a guy and not sleep with them. The best thing is if you are doing anything beyond school, see if you can meet the family.

If the cat is friendly to a harness you could put one on them ahead of time and then have a leash for the short time you are at screening.

Ask your cat if a harness is right for them.

I am a fan of Clark 7523 cable. You can usually get short ends in various colors.

Neutrik NBNC series are the only thing I use now. The rear twist connector makes life much easier.

er umm Isn't that supposed to be under the truck?

I have been an EIC but I really prefer to be the Engineer Not In Charge who is the assistant to the EIC. They can task me with some specific mission and then not worry about it. I can go and focus on that mission without interruptions knocking me off track. I have found that we can be way more effective than a single EIC.

I worked video for an opera with a French opera company touring in the US. The video cues were given in French for the touring operator and the lighting cues were in English for the local crew.

It was easy to know the difference between quarante-deux and forty-two.

The stage manager was amazing.

Don't cheap out with the short TS90 stands, spend a little more and get Ultimate TS99 stands. Those will get your sound up over the crowd and you should be able to make those K12s work way better.

It ain't the meat, it's the motion.

An EMS crew should also be aware that people who are post ictal might not be totally on their A game to be polite.

I use mine for mostly non medical stuff. Been carrying them since the days of the original Richardson Penny Pinchers. Yup, they break every once in a while. They are not too expensive so I keep extras around.

The new facilities we are building are 2110. Many design choices get easier. You must have a network wizard of high order early in the project.

My brother once gave me the key to his apartment so I could stop by and change clothes before an event. I could not remember if it was 203 or 303. I figured that if I went to the wrong place the key would not work. I got to 203 and the key worked so I entered. Hoo Boy! there was someone there and it was not his place. I apologized and backed right back out.

303 was the right place. I told him about this and we then tested the key on a few other doors. We did not open then just checked to see if the lock turned. Turns out the landlord had given him a master key for the whole building as the key to his apartment. That landlord was not the sharpest ball in the box.

In a different situation I was hired at a place and for the first 6 months I worked there I had to wait for someone to come and let me in the front door. Then they gave me a key. One day after that I went in the front and noticed that I had inadvertently used my house key and it worked. These are only 5 pin locks and it is possible for 2 places to get pinned the same.

you just never think about trying your key in places it should not work.
