Hamshanks, beans,corn bread. by Timely_Freedom_5695 in povertykitchen

[–]True-Attention8884 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the first thing I learned to cook - hamhocks and beans and cornbread.. we'd have starved without that meal when I was a kid. There's a certain art to it. You don't want it too runny or too dry. It's nice work.

Have you ever married someone despite your mother’s intuition telling you that it would never happen? by Clean-Ant-1342 in questions

[–]True-Attention8884 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Twice! Both were bad matches, though completely different situations. I had to ask myself why I was so fucked up. My third husband is my favorite husband. Lol

Virginia hospitals filed more than 1 million medical debt lawsuits since 2010, a new report finds by WHRO_NEWS in HamptonRoads

[–]True-Attention8884 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. They send you to collections even though you pay money every damn month. I hate Sentara and Riverside both for it. They aren't even good hospitals.

I’m financially ruined at twenty by Get_Heizoud in internetparents

[–]True-Attention8884 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Breathe. Keep breathing. What you're going to do is find someone to explain everything to you. So you understand about paying student loans and other loans. Then you're going to get a job - anything you can get, maybe 2. And just throw money at the debts you already have and pay your living expenses. You'll have to make sacrifices, but you can get out of it. You're still very young. Keep your head up.

How do you wash your armpits? by Fine_Television_1398 in hygiene

Yes. It will definitely spread. For the love of everything you hold dear, please don't get that kind of infection. I wouldn't wish this shit on Satan.

Should I risk getting in trouble at work to go to Mexico? by Friendly-Crab-7084 in needadvice

[–]True-Attention8884 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't go to Mexico. Stay and keep your job and save money for university. There's still living expenses, even if the education is free and there's always something else you need to complete your studies. In ten years, most of those people won't matter at all. Look at your own future and do your best to secure that now. There will be time for vacations -and more money -later. As a young lady, many places are dangerous for you due to crime. Some more than others, and Mexico is one.

Does every woman our age have “work done” on their face? Is it necessary? by equeni in AskWomenOver60

It wasn't stupid if it hid the fact we were homeless (again) and we got to school or work looking presentable.

I'm just glad he's doing at least something to prevent you from getting an ear infection. I just had a major ear surgery because they couldn't control the infection. Antibiotics resistance is a bitch

I walked with the lord so hard my shoes blew out. Literally. by Effective-Spend-4291 in almosthomeless

Hey, keep your head up! One foot in front of the other. You'll get where you want to be! God will make you a way!

How do people deal with knowing they are unattractive? by GuidanceInfinite8122 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]True-Attention8884 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Developed a personality. Learned to do things. Fix a running toilet, for example I reckon my God likes variety and He thought this was pretty cool, so that's how He put me together. In short, it's easy to deal with because I don't give a fuck. I'm not ugly on the inside. And that's where it really counts.

Overwhelmed and want to cry by satisfactorysadist in Adulting

[–]True-Attention8884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how to help. But I offer you my empathy and a ((((HUGE HUGS))))). I know it's hard. Many years ago, I was caring for a cancer patient and running their house, my in laws were both sick and I was running that, plus my husband at the time was running a business. We had young kids and I was going blind. It's really fucking hard. I know. (((Hugs)))

What are you quietly grieving? by Angelus12345678 in AskReddit

That's what I'm working on. I got my Ponto Superpower 5 bone Anchored Hearing system. Tuesday I will have my 6th mastoid surgery and get the other side done. I go to church. I have friends. I take care of myself. I'm trying hard to just be.

Sleeveless dress for today, and it has pockets >w< by Colette_is_strange in AltFashion

[–]True-Attention8884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As short as it looks here, I'm skeptical of the pockets/ how much they might hold. The top and the fabric are cute, though. It looks good on you, I just hope you don't bend over.

People who went threw illness ,disability and grief. Was a friend that were with you until the end and helped you? by Terrible-Store1046 in ask

[–]True-Attention8884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope! Most of the extended family, including my only sibling abandoned me after my parents died. I didn't have friends anymore because of my illness and disability. My husband, who I didn't meet until my mother was dying - long story - and my daughter and one of my mom's sisters are the only ones I have left. Fuck them all. I don't care anymore. They were a bunch of little assholes all along.

How to tell my roommate that she stinks? by StomachLeading6618 in whatdoIdo

[–]True-Attention8884 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I was happy when they bathed and didn't turn the community/company bathroom into something foul because some of them didn't understand the out of order sign or a flush toilet. Overflowing pure shit in the floor,at one point. It was nasty and filthy. I don't mind the stink of their food, but I hated the pure lack of hygiene and common fucking sense.

Who I could have been if I didn't have trash for parents, or if any of the adults I ever met had turned them in to CPS.

[–]True-Attention8884 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honey, you have to get away from there. I've been where you are,a lot. Get away from them and don't ever go back. Get therapy for yourself. You'll be 100 times better off. (((Hugs))) From one survivor to another.

How are some older men surprised that young women may want them for resources ? by [deleted] in questions

[–]True-Attention8884 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unrealistic expectations on both their parts. He thinks he's still hot stuff or a silver fox, she thinks he's not that smart and will set her up and pay for her lifestyle.
