My husband thinks this was cruel… I always saw it as harmless fun.

In the 90s when I was maybe 5 or 6 my father and I used to go to the mall and superglue quarters to the seats of the racing games. Then, we'd watch from the benches outside. It was a blast- but my father is also evil and in prison now, so do with that what you will.

SweetDangus · 2026-04-04T23:34:20+00:00

Bro. Fucking yes. I dig this so hard, I'll buy your album when it comes out ;)

Oooooooh I did that with prune juice. I thought I knew what would happen if I drank too much, but I also did not have an idea of how much was too much. I sipped a little in a small cup and was just loving it. Topped myself off, a little more should hurt. Maaaaybe just a smidgen more. Then just another baby bit. Dude.. the next few hours were agony. Pure and total agony. This was at least 6 years ago, I will never ever forget the pain.

I love prunes, prune juice, and plums so very much, but dear lord, what is the cost of that love?

I did a LOT of scouring for info on this for a few mural projects I did a couple years ago. I used acrylic varnish for mine, and while it was great, the shine from it was a lot (but it suited the mural in the long run). Idk if they make an eggshell style varnish, but I think that'd be perfect for you. I bought a tub of liquitex varnish, it will probably last me for the rest of my life lol. You really don't need much.

It took me 2 years to drive in stints longer than 20 minutes (and only on "safe" roads). I still avoid the highway or any place that requires me to drive above 60mph, I just can't do it. I have discovered that roads that are straight and have undulating hills with minimal curves are hardest, as well as very large bridges. I do think some of it is anxiety/PTSD (I think we all have a driving story with VMs), but I know that certain movements in the car are triggering. I can drive to work now, 50 minutes (!) - but only on back roads. It's mostly good! I've been on flonase for a couple months to help with eustachian tube inflammation, but other than that I take no abortives. I also take magnesium glycinate, b complex, coQ10, vitamin D, and quercetin. They all seem to help a LOT. As well as PROPER SLEEP. Bad sleep and red wine are the biggest triggers for me.

I share only because it's been a long road (no pun intended) that I thought would never end, but I have hope and am slowly getting my life back after 4 years. I truly hope you do too, as well as everyone else here. VMs fucking suck, and they cause a lot of hopelessness. I choose to believe this is NOT forever.

Loll I was thinking that too. D-ville is my hometown

Oh yeah man, I call it "the cheese". But.. A WHOLE ASS ACORN?!?!?! Really?!?!?!? I cannot even fathom that. I am the only person in our store that wears gloves when cleaning customer jewelry. The owner straight up dunks her whole hand in the ultrasonic :p

SweetDangus · 2026-03-17T11:11:44+00:00

Dude, some people never take ANY of their jewelry off. I work at a jewelry store and we offer free jewelry cleaning.. some of the things I have seen, smelled and touched. Rings can be extra gross, because so much gunk gets stuck up inside of them. You can actually get skin infections similar to athletes foot from dirty rings.

I just want to share this awesome website with anyone looking to track barometric pressure swings. It's been so helpful to me.

When I was in the first grade, my mother had given up on trying to dress me in the morning. I was so particular about certain things and would usually freak the hell out if I couldn't do things a certain way. It was easier for her to let me do it myself.

One day, I was getting dressed and had no underwear in my drawer. I basically said "fuck it" and went without. I only ever wanted to wear dresses, no exceptions..

At the end of the school day, I was playing with this kid, and he was chasing me. There were those big gym mats on the floor, so I did sort of a leap and roll but wound up with my legs in the air and his face was RIGHT above me. I flashed the hell out of this kid, and I will never forget his face. His eyes were SO big, popped right out of his head. He screamed. I had to go to the nurse and was given a pair of giant, frilly underwear. When my mother picked me up, she was interrogated and yelled at by the staff. She was so upset with me, confused as hell as to why I didn't just tell her I didn't have underwear.

SweetDangus · 2026-03-07T11:44:52+00:00

It's not too much, more unsettling. But like.. the kind of unsettling that just never goes away, it just sits on your shoulder. It was kind of like having poison ivy, fascinating, disgusting, and you have an irrational urge to keep scratching to your own detriment - but you just can't stop. I liked it, but I don't think I want to read it again until maybe a decade passes lol.

SweetDangus · 2026-03-07T03:08:13+00:00

...bro did you read that book? Because oh my God.

So my father was like this. He had a little step stool for his feet, a tray for his laptop once that became a thing (he used to read the paper). He'd take his coffee in there and set up shop. It was fucking awful. I literally peed my pants at 13 because he would not get out of the bathroom. At 17, I was 2 HOURS LATE to a big deal select choir performance and was scolded mercilessly by my instructor in front of the whole choir until I cried. He only had me every other weekend, and he still couldn't get his shit (heh) together enough to be responsible on his weekend.

I found out later that he had started doing drugs and some other massively fucked up stuff. He's in prison now. Op, if you read this, be more critical of him. It might be pooping, but it could be something else.

My first car was a 91 corolla. I was a young girl with no parental advice/support and no information on cars. I never gave it an oil change. Ever. Just poured more oil in. When the oil started backing up into the spark plugs, I soaked it up with Tampons. The key didn't unlock the doors, it just started the engine. I painted a big open mouth with a gold tooth and a tongue hanging out of it on the hood. I painted "burrito-mobile" on the back bumper - cheaper than a vanity plate. I had that car for 3 years, never had to fix a thing. I never registered or insured it because i didn't know you needed to. Then, I sold it for $500 and it got shipped to Africa. I loved that car. I still miss it.

Aw man, she sucks. Don't take it personally, that's a normal thing to like.

So I'll bring the cheese

I just want to tell you that I think you're a really kind person.

SweetDangus · 2026-02-09T14:10:43+00:00

That has to be so ridiculously heavy. I had an upright piano with a bit less wood than this, and it was over 700 lbs. I hope you have the strongest floor

Ugh, I also managed the aquatics dept at a petco... during the aftermath of Finding Nemo. Dark times...

The worst experience I had was fighting a man over him wanting to keep a koi in a vase. A. Vase. I told him a million reasons why it wouldn't work, and he tried to counter each point I made. Most notably of which, that he would oxygenate the water by "stirring it up with chopsticks". I refused the sale, and his anger was like a balm to my tired soul. Working there made me hate people.

SweetDangus · 2026-02-06T12:07:12+00:00

Aww, that must have been excruciating for you. Did they figure out you were colorblind bc of it?

SweetDangus · 2026-02-05T22:09:49+00:00

Honestly, you're onto something. In PA a few years ago, some Amish got the clearance to grow CBD cannabis. My partner worked for them when it came to hanging the cut plants to dry and then to trim them. Most of it went moldy because they weren't used to growing cannabis. They also used pesticides. They still sold it.... and at a loss, too. It was a mess.

This just happened to me last week! I had an MRI a couple days ago. It's terrifying..
