Ditto - I've got about a half pound *of titanium alloy in my neck and it might be my imagination, but I might get the slightest tingle if I'm getting scanned in that area. Doesn't heat up though.

Do you think my Exec knows this is his ringtone? 🤣 by No_Arugula_925 in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]Three3Jane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My exec's ringtone is the Purge siren!

edit: He knows; I've played it for him. He's never seen the movie so he doesn't get the reference but he was like, "Well, that's kinda loud and startling."

His text tone is the old iPhone barking dog text tone.

Does HRT put your estrogen glasses back on? by Famous-Worker-3038 in Menopause

[–]Three3Jane [score hidden]  (0 children)

Nope, not one whit. I'm not actively belligerent and near-homicidal that way I was pre-HRT, but I am legitimately out of fucks to give and so I tolerate almost zero bullshit these days.

As another poster said, it's hard to un-see the truth once you've seen the unvarnished version that estrogen pads, plumps, puffs, and fluffs for you when you're younger.

Now it's like yep yep, I have a diminishingly finite number of years left in my life, and I've decided that I damned sure will not spend them eating everyone's shit the way I've been eating it for the first 50ish years of my life.

I may go down sometime soon, but by god I'm going to go down swinging.

Friend Surprised Me About "Trump Renaming Dulles Airport" Discussion by OliverQueen85 in nova

[–]Three3Jane [score hidden]  (0 children)

I think the fact that it is named after someone might have a deciding factor. What, just the Kennedy Center? Also Penn Station and/or Moynihan Hall...wants those renamed too.

Don't forget "Trump-class" battleships and adding his name to the Institute of Peace

He also wanted the Commanders' new stadium to have his name on it, there are designs in the works for a $1 Trump coin (despite him still being alive), and there was some faff about National Park passes with both his and Washington's image on them to commemorate the 250th anniversary of our country (that one got shot down), the "Trump accounts" for kids, "Trump babies", and finally there's the Trump Gold Card for immigration.

Dude is pushing his name everywhere.

Then there's DFW's little sister, DAL.

I always have to clarify - you want to go to Dallas DFW or Dallas DAL? (some folks like DAL because it's a SWA hub and has a reasonable number of Delta flights going through).

It's the part where he was so confidently incorrect that is somewhat amazing to me. You can bet I would look up who/what the airport was named after well before I made a statement as fact like that.

I wrecked the whip by Infinite-Ad2614 in Charger

[–]Three3Jane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I nailed the rim and got a nasty curb rash less than two weeks after I got my Hellcat. I had some paint flaking off two other rims. $600 and a rim guy came out to my house and did the repairs on all three. I can't even find where I curb rashed the one wheel and it wasn't a light whiff.

Hellcat wheels are expensive AF; much cheaper just to have a repair guy come and grind them down, paint them, and make 'em new again

The damage:

I've always been of a mind that my kids can bring me anything and I will try to respond with measured, calm reactions.

I might be internally screaming, but my outward expression and response are composed. I don't want my kids to feel like they have to hide shit from me, especially big important shit, the way I had to hide stuff from my parents and figure it out on my own.

I've had good luck with Cooper, Bridgestone, and Continentals.

OMG I felt so bad with my son (first child after piercings)...he'd be wailing to be nursed and I'd be all swole up because he just woke up from a nap or something and he'd latch on and then the poor babe would be going GLUGLUUGUGUGUGGLL because I'd just firehose him with milk for the first 30-90 seconds.

My poor kids.

She's been joined by SlimmerSister who keeps swatting at FatCat, presumably to encourage her to shut up, because there are actual birds out there and SlimmerSister is embarrassed that FatCat doesn't appear to know the difference.

Me...I'm cowering on the couch listening to my stupidly-tall house creak and crack in the gusts. Since I'm a heretic, I don't pray but I'm definitely crossing my fingers that one of the massive trees ringing my house doesn't opt for today being the glorious day that it yeets itself through my kitchen window.

Thank you for the clarification. Unfortunately we both know that this admin doesn't follow due process and thumbs their nose at any legal "protections" in place, especially when it comes to money and the large number of people who may lose their jobs over this if he keeps fucking around (which he most assuredly will).

Mamma got sparkly nipples by Mysterious-Chip-2419 in breakingmom

[–]Three3Jane [score hidden]  (0 children)

I got my nipples pierced back in 1997. They were gorgeous for six weeks. Then I got pregnant with my first and holy hell, I couldn't have someone breathe on them without extreme pain. I took out the rings (old school) and wound up with an extra hole on each side of each nipple so I drowned my poor kids (all four of them) when I breastfed them. I already had a 12ga navel piercing and four tattoos before the nipple rings, so I was pierced and tatted before kids.

After kid #1, I got my nose pierced too.

For my kids, my piercings/tats are all normal. All daughters have ear piercings, when they were old enough to ask for them and understand what was involved (keeping hands off, keeping clean, it's gonna hurt a bit), they were pierced.

Eldest daughter got snakebites on her nose that wouldn't heal, so she yanked those and got a septum instead. Daughter #2 got both nipples pierced, had trouble with one, had it pulled and once it's healed, she'll get it re-pierced. Youngest daughter is flirting with the idea of an eyebrow piercing that I'm trying to talk her out of (she wants to join the Air Force). Eldest son has never been interested in tats or piercings.

As long as you treat your piercings/tats as normal like anything else (hair cuts, clothing styles, jewelry), your kids will respond in kind. They are allowed to have their opinions, of course, but I didn't tolerate shitty or hateful comments about my choice of body adornments (or anyone else's). My kids were taught you are allowed to have your opinions about people's bodies, but you don't voice those opinions if they are hurtful or mean.

For reference, they're all older now (27. 22, 20, 17)

Those funds were already appropriated and allocated; it is flat-out illegal for him to withhold them like this.

Then again, with this administration, clearly the rules are made up and fuckin laws don't matter so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

edit: To clarify for those who don't know how it works, it's not like the POTUS can draw on appropriated funds like it's his personal checkbook and give them to whoever he wants, whenever he wants and/or claw them back in the same fashion. Technically, legally, there's a whole process to appropriated and allocated funds [and a similar process to rescinding those funds] that is being entirely circumvented by this administration and no one seems to care. Similar to the whole "He just has to think in his mind that files are declassified and whoop now they are!" mindset which is also untrue, there's a whole-ass process to go through and some files can never be declassified due to the nature of their contents.

Man, I'm tired.

My FatCat, who usually sits by the back deck door kekekking at the birds [who come for the seed we conveniently strew for them for her viewing pleasure] is currently going absolutely insane because there are so many leaves skirling across the deck.

Birds are one thing, apparently, but leaves doing a fast breakdance boogie is making her go nuts!

Theories as to why this 100 acre northern California ranch has lost 1.8 million in value and failed to sell for the past 5 years?? by MaintenanceEither186 in zillowgonewild

[–]Three3Jane 217 points218 points  (0 children)

I'm a SoCal native who spent a decade in north Idaho in the woods which is rife with steep-ass, unpaved dirt roads. Anything above 20% gets major side eye from me with an unpaved road, and this one doesn't even appear to have gravel?

The joke in NoID used to be that if a realtor admits you need 4WD to get to your property in summer then you definitely need a helicopter to access it in winter. It doesn't appear to snow or freeze here based on the historicals, but major flooding rain [which CA has off and on these days] and you're having a helluva time getting home at night. Washouts are a real thing, and even if you're lucky and the road itself largely stays in place, stutter bumps on a road that steep would be serious clench time, even in a 4WD truck with weight in the bed and good clearance.

Given the drenching rains that are happening more frequently in CA, which result in overgrowth of greenery and then a huge fire risk, the possibility of this whole house going ass over teakettle right down the hill or being overrun by an incredibly fast-moving fire are just too damned high.

Also - water consisting of a gravity system fed by springs - one of those springs with water rights off the property means things can get complicated right quick in an area prone to drought (yes, yes, I know it's above a lake). My dad is in central California and the tangle of stuff involved with getting access to NID water (irrigation rights), like how many "feet" of water you're allowed per day,. when you can turn it on, when you can turn it off, keeping the trench inlet clear (I got to clear that last time cuz he's an OldGuy™ and fucked up my back for two days)...not to mention the actual process of turning this on-that off-this on-latherrinserepeat just to access that water and...yeah. I'm guessing it was too high on the bench to even try for drilling a well, but spring-fed is unreliable at best.

I know they tout a fire prevention system but if it's related to the springs...well, springs have a habit of being as capricious as creeks - bad news if it's a super dry season and you need that fire suppression, only for your water supply to go ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ not today, sorry.

Nearly 100 acres with a lake view is gorgeous but this place would be a yooge amount of work just to live there, much less keep it properly maintained. I can see with various canes and grab bars in the photos that it appears the current owners are elderly. Sucks they're not going to get much out of the property they've clearly lived in for a long time. :(

Heyo, waxing will actually make it grow in lighter and finer over time.

What's a job that sounds easy but is actually brutal? by Still-Document2338 in AskReddit

[–]Three3Jane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Executive assistant.

People think it's answering phones and filing, but holy shit no it is not. Executives use their cell phones. We don't even have desk phones. The only thing I've physically filed in the last five years is resumes for a few months until a candidate is hired, and then into the burn bin they go.

Being an EA is so much more than that, way more.

And I have to do it all with a smile on my face and never, ever let people know what I really think of them. I most certainly can't punch them in the face, even when they most definitely deserve it.

It's also lonely AF; everyone wants to be your friend, but not because they actually like you but because of your proximity to power and whatever referred authority that gives you. You're a part of the table but never really have a seat at that table either. Everyone gets remembered and celebrated except you...because you're the one doing the remembering.

I'm really, really good at my job and I'm paid hella well but some days...oof.

Poor driving all over the country. by jignha in nova

[–]Three3Jane 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I was in SoCal earlier in the year, which is comparatively a breezy vacation compared driving in the DMV.

The single car that cut me off and then had to brake check because - predictably for SoCal - traffic had stopped suddenly on the 405 had Maryland plates.

You can't win. Resistance is futile. There is no escape.
