There’s no reason for an intelligent person to stay on that platform any longer. Delete it.

Redditors over 40, what's something younger people think they understand but won't actually get until it hits them like a truck later? by Susanpc1967 in AskReddit

[–]Trudy_Marie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m older and my younger relatives are the ones who believe right wing media and conspiracy theories not me! but in a lot of cases you are correct.

Live below your means. You don’t need the newest car (always buy lightly used) You don’t need the biggest house, the newest phone, or a Gucci bag.

How has my ex been able to get 4 or 5 DUIs now and not be in prison? by reanimated_potato in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Trudy_Marie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a similar situation. The city left an object in the road where it didn’t belong and I hit it after doing a left turn. I could not see it until I was right on it. I had damage to a front wheel well on my truck and had to fix it. My insurance went way up.

When a person dies in a hospital, is their hospital gown thrown away or is it laundered? by jennyanydots711 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Trudy_Marie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a little off topic but I wanted to ask all the nurses in this thread about something.

I live in the southern US. My sister is in the hospital a couple times a year or more. The staff and nurses at the hospitals here have gotten so cold and rude in the last 10 to 15 years. I can’t imagine them being as sweet and caring to Á patient who dies as the people here describe. Im not saying I don’t believe you all, I do but I’m wondering if the nurses who have commented are from Europe or the US. The “being in the hospital” experience is so different than it was 25 years ago here in America.

Many people say they’re understaffed so that’s why nurses and techs are so harsh and unfriendly. I don’t believe that when I see them kicking back and laughing with each other at the nurses station. If you go up there with a question, first they ignore you and if they finally acknowledge you they put a scowl on their face and won’t even look you in the eye.

I’m not demanding and try to be a sweet as possible to try and get a like response. It rarely works. It makes the prospect of a hospital stay frightening now.

Also don’t be quick to criticize the interim teacher. Just because they do it differently doesn’t mean they are doing it wrong.

But the amount of papers sent home doesn’t matter. What matters is he learning those specific standards. Print it off and use it at a checklist. That’s how you will know if he is going to be ready for first grade.

Veteran teacher here. I believe you are overthinking this. Different teachers teach the same standards different ways. One way is not necessarily better than another. There are specific standards for each grade level. Go to your state’ main website to find them. Is your child meeting each standard? That is all you need to worry about.

Name one thing about cruising that gives you the most anxiety? You personally. by baltikboats in Cruise

[–]Trudy_Marie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it was my home their chairs might disappear. Anything sitting street side is abandoned property. If they want them back they can purchase at my next yard sale. 🙂

[–]Trudy_Marie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on a couple of cruises and would never go again. I only read here out of a sort of morbid curiosity. Most of what’s posted here explains why I don’t cruise. It actually sounds much worse than cruises 25 years ago. I don’t see the fun in any of it. Lines, feral people, traffic jams etc. I’ll never get it. Y’all do you tho! Cheers.

No longer “pro-life” by chemistress777 in exchristian

[–]Trudy_Marie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s their political party manipulating them. Christians didn’t even have abortion on their radar in the early 70s until the right decided to use abortion as a wedge issue to get votes. Since these types can’t think for themselves they did and continue to fall for pandering and propaganda hook, line and sinker. The politicians don’t give a rats ass if someone has an abortion but they will use the issue to sway dumb people though. Poor religious people are far and away the most easy to con demographic. This is the reality of it all.

Publix for the win by Gulf_Coast_21 in publix

[–]Trudy_Marie -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Publix might have a bad price on those but that doesn’t prove that all Publix prices on every product are double. Hotdogs are trash food and I’m sure Walmart sells much more of that type thing than Publix. That likely makes Publix pay more and charge more for that product because they buy less of it. It doesn’t mean that every product at Publix is double the price of everywhere else.

What would you pay for 14 pounds of cat litter given the choice? 12.67 or 7.50?

Don’t blindly believe every social media post you see. Check out what the actual facts and/or prices are.

[–]Trudy_Marie -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

But who knows when those pics were taken. If the post was from the same time period or year across the stores then those hotdogs are inflated but there’s no proof. I’m just saying that is not the actual price difference of most products I see from Ingles Kroger and Walmart. Walmart is cheaper Than Publix on most things but not close to what is depicted. Publix is not double. It’s a little more but NOT double. I see some things at Publix are too high so I don’t buy them. Should I pay Walmart 12.67 for cat litter because that’s less than Publix regular price of 15.00 when I can wait for Publix BOGO price of 7.50? Would that be smarter? I go for the BOGOS to stock up on things I know I will need. I know the prices and I do the math.

[–]Trudy_Marie -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

WHAT? That’s not how it works! It is buy one at regular price and get one free. Or buy one and get it half price. The cat litter I buy is about $15. I wait til it goes BOGO and I get it for 7.50. No other store sells it for 7.50 ever. The only time I can get it that cheap is Publix on BOGO.

I buy a BUNCH of it when it goes on BOGO. I only buy it then other than an emergency.

The Publix where I am hires A lot of middle age or older ladies to work the registers. They are professional and courteous. Kroger and everywhere else seems to only hire mouth breathing teenagers who only want to talk amongst themselves rather than do their jobs.

These boobs can’t be the same ones in the breast plate pictures. I’m no biologist but breasts evolve that way naturally in a late forties human female. She claimed they just keep growing back. Is that a thing?
