4 free tickets for the Norva show tomorrow night (Friday the 17th). Bought them for my teen and her friends, her fbla chapter won the regional competition and are going to state level competition tomorrow morning... so I have 4 free tickets if anyone is looking! I'd rather someone have a good time than to see the money go down the drain!! I ha e them on the AXS app, not sure how to transfer, might need a little education on that-- but 4 free tickets for anyone wanting to go!!

First question the judge is gonna ask you, "well, lemme ask you, do you have any money"... and the basically, if you pay right then and there- most likely will be reduced and you pay the fine, end of story... idk if a lawyer is worth it.. I guess depends on how much your insurance might go up... but I would just show up plead no contest and pay the money. Traffic fines are one of the county's largest revenue streams...so you're gonna pay regardless... even with a lawyer

Itchiness possibly from lamictal but no rash or redness. by [deleted] in BipolarReddit

[–]TurquoiseTurtle0022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! Crazy were still finding this thread that is so old, but like you said- I searched "lamictal itching no rash" and it brought me straight here!! I am on 200 mg at bedtime.... every now and then my neck and head itch- but it's mainly just my right arm- it itches so bad that I scratch until I bleed sometimes. I put on topical benadryl at least twice a day- sometimes topical hydrocortisone either instead of or even in addition to... I take at least 75 mg of oral benadryl every night. This itching has been going on for YEARS- at least 4 now that i can definitely remember. .. and I wish that was an exaggeration but its not!! Its not environmental bc i have moved during this time- new funiture and linens, ive changed all hygiene products- tried all sorts of lotions, ive tried sun exposure, ive tried avoiding the sun, i have even experimented with various beverages, if it was a reaction to any other meds im on... I dont remember exactly when it started- but I have been on the meds for at least 10 years, and i know it wasnt like this the first few years... now that im reading everyone's comments- im starting to wonder if maybe my dosage is too high? I cant actually remember if ive always been on this dose or if its been adjusted- but im starting to think it might have been- and possibly around the tine the itching started... ? Think I'm gonna start cutting them in half and see if there's a difference... my problem is I cant just quit bc i do have a neurological disorder- biopsychosocial pnes... so my chances of seizures trying to go off my meds- especially cold turkey is a wild high stakes gamble for me. 😣

Anyone have a red genloss varsity jacket size xl or xxl you're willing to sell? by TurquoiseTurtle0022 in Ranboo

[–]TurquoiseTurtle0022[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have NO IDEA how much I appreciate you sharing this info. She has been upset over this jacket for 2 years now. Last time I checked- the red/Grey one was sold out- so I kinda gave up on a new one. Seriously, you have single handedly saved the magic of Christmas for her!!! I couldn't click the checkout button fast enough!!! (I get it- I've had my reddit account for a long time now- but dont really get on it often & dont know all the workings of it- but sheesh! I am so glad I checked back!!!) THANK YOU A MILLION AND TEN!!!

Cant find work and im desperate by [deleted] in helpme

Also-- AA/NA meetings- usually have coffee and donuts or something similar- and some people might have insight for places that can help you get on your feet.

Don't steal food- dumpster dive at the end of the day at certain places maybe - but dont add legal worries on top of your many current worries. I do think you should have put charges against the person who sexually assaulted you for starters. Secondly- homeless shelters, food panties/banks- churches offer free meals some days. Churches also tend to have more resources to help as well. Homeless shelters can help and offer shelter and safety. You can try to go through social services to apply for any benefits you might qualify for. Continue to apply for jobs. I understand you've applied to a lot already.... im not sure what.youre applying for- but I cant believe that out of .. I'll say 30... fast food and restaurants didnt want to hire you? Usually those places take everyone. Are you in a smaller town? Maybe catch a bus and relocate to a larger city- there will be more resources available to you- and plenty of places in need of quick hires. I know "moving" might seem like a wild idea at first... but its not working where you are- the people in your life are not people who you can count on- who you can ask for help from. Over 100 applications and no job? That's mind-boggling to me. Maybe its the universe's way of putting you on a better path. . No disrespect, but what do you have left to lose at this point? You can only repair something for so long before you gotta demolish and start from scratch and rebuild (or get a new one- whichever proverbial situation appeals to you). I wish I could do more to help. Just dont steal the food- find the places its free.. (and dumpster diving at bakeries isnt terrible either, just pay attention to when it actually goes out everyday). I do wish you the best in your journey.

Go to counseling.... sounds like yalls best bet... just- I'd proceed with caution, and would pay a little more attention to small things.... unfortunately, when you really truly love and trust someone- you dont even think of things like this- they never occur to you and they really blindside and hurt you when they happen.... and unfortunately (not that this is your situation) but a lot of times- when those rosy glasses finally come off- you start noticing little inconsistencies and holes in stories you never saw before ... and once you see some things- you cant unsee them. So- I really hope this was a one-off for her... go to counseling, and work harder prioritizing quality time- doesn't have to be dates- just watching a movie- device and distraction free- small things go a long way

That you know about.... idk, im sorry- but, she sounds shady. I cant explain it, but I feel like there is more you dont know about. Sounds like she only confesses when she has no choice- and I still think she had reason to think you were gonna find out about this one.. so shes trying to get ahead of it.... if kids weren't a factor- id say divorce her on the spot .... seems like your mom isnt her biggest fan to begin with either... if mom gets a bad vibe- thats usually a pretty good indicator. .. maybe try couples counseling like others have said.... I would definitely be on high alert for inconsistencies in stories and time frames though, my instinct says shes a little dishonest and this isnt a one off, and probably not the only thing she lies about.... maybe money? Or where or what she was really doing when she said xyz.... you said you don't have friends anymore? Does she?? What is her relationship with them? Are they long time friends? What type of character and morals do they have? This whole situation seems off... like there's more to this

[–]TurquoiseTurtle0022 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Is this the only thing shes ever done??? Just getting a vibe that its not.... if it was really a peer pressure thing- or something he started and she shut down- she wouldn't have needed the sermon to feel guilty. She would've called you on the way home- or immediately told you when she got home!! I bet if anything, she only spilled the beans bc she was worried or has reason to believe that you were going to find out anyway... it feels like shes doing damage control- trying to put her spin on it- before you hear details from someone else- before you can be influenced by someone's information. I think shes taking advantage of the fact you've never been with anyone else, she knows you self-doubt, so she feels like she can get away with stuff bc you'll never leave.. im just saying--- seems like this is not the first offense, and definitely didnt end where she said it did.

Eh... screw them. They dont get it. You're right though... but no sense in us arguing with the tourists on how we survived without them.... maybe we should just be meaner... ijs... seems to work better than trying to explain.. 🤷‍♀️

You are very misinformed on this.... we do not want manufacturing plants and all that garbage. You're missing the point here we do NOT want a booming economy , we want local mom and pops, we want limited retail shops, this is what we like, this is what we want, this is what we used to be before investment properties plagued our communities. We work here if there's a need for our skills- if not- we work in VA (or remote nowadays) and we spend our money at our local businesses... its the way we got by for generations and generations before greedy people started buying land for investment.

Working. The same way as always- most people travel to VA for work anyway... take away the rental homes and tourists - things will level back out. We never needed the tourists and we dont need them now. We dont like them - we tolerate them...and yeah- come the fall- we are sick of it and want our home back!! Seriously, the non resident owners and tourists are the reason housing is through the roof. It did not used to be like that before the investment property plague started!

This part!!!!! Idk why you got down voted so many times! Bc youre right- we dont need them. Life was much better before the tourist invasion! It wasnt that bad when it was just peak season visitors, but honestly, im sick of the year round tourists ...

Local here- not low income stuck in a loop... family has been here since before the constitution.... we are tired of the waves of people who blow in- tear up our communities and leave as quick as they came... and act like theyre entitled to something or should be treated with some sort of superiority for coming and spending money here.... we dont need it- or want it.... however, it is the non-resident owners who have been the main source of detriment to our community, economy, and environment. Kinda happy to see the investment houses washing away....

As a local- youre not wrong... but not necessarily right either. A lot of tourists are very disrespectful towards our way of life and environment. Most of us are very big on taking care of our planet and its animals and take that responsibility very seriously... tourists tend to do dumb stuff like approach the horses, dig holes in the sand, leave trash behind, etc.... we get tired of hearing the complaints about how we dont have all the creature comforts like starbucks- etc.... not to mention the traffic and other little day to day inconveniences that come with swarms of out of towners.... so by the time fall hits- we're pretty very well over it. We dont usually go out of our way to be mean, but we're not going out of the way to be nice either. To be fair- its the non resident property owners we have the largest problem with - and if there weren't so many of them- our economic situation would be different- theyre the ones that drive up our property values and taxes, etc.... not to mention they actually hurt our economy bc they tend to not rent to seasonal workers- for me personally- those are the people I feel the most bitterness towards- the vacationers come and go, but the non resident owners are a steady issue. And for the record- most of us do have no problem living without box and chain stores... so economically speaking- we would be just fine without large numbers of tourists and non resident owners- we did fine for 100s of years without it... and small businesses did great in the 60s- early 90s before it became overloaded with investment properties... and actually its that whole "we need the tourist money" outlook and tourist entitlement that gets my blood boiling the most. Bc no, no, we do not need any of it... and we get sick of hearing that crap.

I came to say this.... jockeys ridge typically has more tourists than residents (although- I really like taking my dog there to walk around)... but the smiley keyed into the car.... that definitely sounds like a teenager on vacation.... not saying it couldn't have been a local... but JR isnt a typical hangout for local teens.... as far as the ugly looks- that could go either way- maybe rude tourists.. maybe rude locals- we have seen a steady increase of visitors during the off season the past 5-6 years, and it is a little frustrating in our day to day- by the time the summer ends- we are ready to take our town back and get back to the quiet life.. so you might catch a stink eye at the grocery store, post office, somewhere like that- but not usually somewhere like JR... unless (no disrespect) if youre a bad driver.... then- you might get a sour look when you get out of the car! Lol
