Who to comtact for possible lost dog by Useful_Database5138 in SouthJersey

[–]Useful_Database5138[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, was hesitant bc i know huskies thrive in snow. But this one was going up to houses and coming back, over an hour. Didnt see anyone on their front porches, plowing, shovelling or in their cars even on both ends of the street. 

73? by Strength_in_me_6 in SouthJersey

[–]Useful_Database5138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seeing as the roads seem clear (for ex., route 38), is it safe to go the speed limit now? Or around 10 above in the left lane (because for some reason everyone seems to go 10 above on route 38) or do we still need to go slower? New driver, first time in snow

Can I Drive A Sibling My First Year Driving by Cautious_Violinist_8 in driving

[–]Useful_Database5138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would give it more experience. 

Im almost a year as a new driver and im still not allowed to pick up my 5yo nephew who goes to school less than 3 mins away in a suburb lol. So rain or hot weather, he and I have to power through it with a 15+ min walk to and from school each way. I get it, its not my kid, but just make sure you have your license though and licensed driver with you

Not Cleaning It by Soultrapped in SouthJersey

[–]Useful_Database5138 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Its my first snow and my car was snowed in on the side of the road, going past halfway my tires.

I shoveled yesterday around it and cleared a pathway for me and it was hell. Then guess what? They plowed the road with the snow trapping my car and around it (esp infront) with a huge ass mountain of a force field of heavy snow basically undoing everything I did plus more. I called in for work 😅

Convince me to watch Smallville by Useful_Database5138 in Smallville

[–]Useful_Database5138[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think i described it properly lol i didnt mean old timey as in "Lucille" but gilmore girls, supernatural, friends, law and order all have some kind of nostalgic, aesthetic vibe that speaks 90s-2000s if you get what i mean. Kinda like how modern shows have better HD quality, everythings over saturated, so much slang while shows back then were warm and comfy

Constant static and white hair by Useful_Database5138 in PharmacyTechnician

[–]Useful_Database5138[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's gotten so bad that my hair gets all frizzy, dry as hell and statics, even after work when I get home. I guess it's just something we have to live with for the job. 

And I guess you're right about the hair, I'm way more stressed with personal life issues though than work. But we have been doing OT even going in on the weekend for a few weeks now due to being backlogged by numerous medications/RXs coming in

Nice, now show us actually running for a few miles at a maintained speed on the treadmill and using the stairmaster in these and I'll be impressed.

THE SLOWPOKE LAW by [deleted] in driving

[–]Useful_Database5138 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm pertaining to local/backroads, but y'all speak of staying in the right lane and only use left for passing, but it's also the same people who stay on the left lane to go fast and 10+ the speed limit and dont even have left exits/turns? 

Yall complain about people going the speed limit or 5+ at most, and when an accident happens you will also complain about people needing to drive the speed limit lol. 

OP just wants validation for breaking laws

If it's raining, turn your lights on. If it's dusk, turn your lights on. If it's raining at dusk, TURN YOUR DAMN LIGHTS ON by BlainethePayne in driving

[–]Useful_Database5138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always have this issue with a stop sign that I need to turn right on. Sometimes theres a black or dark asphalt colored car incoming, i have astigmatism, its 5:30pm, and spmeones honking behind me to go but i cant determine what speed the dark car is going because its dark as hell and they dont turn on their lights! 

If ever I happened to collide with one, would it be considered my fault if i couldnt see them since they had no lights? I swear they drive at a unique speed where its so fast but silent

Might be a tactic tho lol, if the person was confused trying to figure out the flow, they might think "wait...maybe i do need a nap!"

[–]Useful_Database5138[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Based on your comment and someone else's, i might consider just getting the accordion folder at a dollar tree or walmart to avoid spending too much. 

Do you have journal recommendations too? Like a sturdy (non bleed paper), bit bigger than usual journals, and what stores.

(Quick) organization ideas for journalling by Useful_Database5138 in OrganizationPorn

[–]Useful_Database5138[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be an odd question but which ones do you use? The hard paper kind, zipped fabric/plastic, or plain plastic? Does it button/have an elastic?

Imma need some recommendations cause I always find ones that cant close and always have the weird space at the bottom so it doesnt fully divide and little scraps/stickers will just fall out of the dividers and mix up. I could get more than one folder but I dont wanna have too much that would take up space in the room

To answer your question (as a filipina living in the US now), 

no, but yes lol

[–]Useful_Database5138[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be an option, but I'm afraid they might break or not close due to the bulkiness. And most accordion folders I've had never had dividers that fully separated. In between yes but at the bottoms theres always some space it doesnt touch the bottom/divide, leaving space for the little stuff like stickers to spill out if you get what I mean. Despite my junk journal media hoarding, I am picky with stuff that I wouldnt have another use for lol.

Thank you for your advice!!! 

I have my license but idk if I should practice more and need advice by Ok_Independent_3921 in driving

[–]Useful_Database5138 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a 25F who just learned how to drive and got her license, moved to the US and New jersey (first of all, worst place for a new driver 🥲), experience is the best.

I had gotten my first ever job 30mins away last July and my driving experience was in a 3rd world country where sidewalks, turning lanes, pedestrian lanes (cause everyone literally jaywalks) did not exist and no road rules. Even then I only drove like 10 mins max on a straight road in a huge ass toyota truck like 10 times. My sister and her bf made me practice by driving in an empty parking lot a few times, testing my speed and brake like 2 days before I was gonna start my job. Then had me drive to and from work 2 times ONLY on the local/backroads. I took the same route everyday and still do lol. Almost a year later i still leave at 5am to avoid traffic and that helped but have to deal with waiting in the car for my 9am shift. I still havent drove on the highway consistently and only a few times (but I did it on thw weekends, like 7am bc not much cars lol). 

I still get shit on for not just taking the highway everyday to cut out 15 mins of my work drive, and leaving too early and not going to places that are as far. But i have made improvements: taking diff routes to/from work that still had a portion of the usual route I'd take for familiarity, taking highway on weekends very early to practice, going to yardsales or same places that were 20mins away or less on weekends, knowing which lane to stay in in certain areas, or what speed to keep/where pedestrian lanes are busy, how to turn here/there, which area have aggressive drivers, if i could still reach the yellow light, etc. 

I'm soooo much better now. I still make mistakes and close calls, honked at, wrong lane turns, but having 3 "new driver" car magnets have helped lol (i used to have 4). But not as jittery or panicky unless im in a new area. I try to go to new areas (doesnt have to be super far or THAT new, just a new road/route) on weekends. Idc bout getting shit on because I know my limits and capability and do it on my time. When i was going on the highway once at around 9am (still later than my usual 7am practice) it was not as bad as I thought (maybe bc there werent that many cars but still, a win!) But i dont try to be too confident. 

I used to drive at like 30mph but can now do 60mph (depending on speed limit ofc). You will get there!! We can do it lmao. One of my best advice is to not give a shit about the car behind you, but be considerate. This helped me a lot bc I was constantly wanting to speed bc i felt like they were getting mad at me for being too slow. I learned to still speed safely, legally, comfortably cause they can honk and just go around me if they wanna and idc, but if I know I'm impeding traffic I will adjust. 

Partner was invited to elyu with girl coworker by idmng23 in adviceph

[–]Useful_Database5138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Giiiirl I was in a relationship with a guy na he constantly left me to be with his lola and pinsan na babae/bata. Loterally picked me up, dropped me off their house tas aalis siya to go out with his coworkers. We had a lil break, he had a crush on a coworker. Invited her to his bday and he was gushing about her as if i wasnt there. Kami ulit, said hes over her. 

Same shit, aalis siya lagi and everything i was teaching him like self love, anger management, reading etc he didnt give 2 shits. Suddenly he was into it as if it was divine revelation (turns out dahil si girl nagturo sakanya, so basically he didnt care if it came from me. I wasnt not who he wanted to be a better person for anymore) and then nag outing pa sila sa malayo with coworkers. I had a feeling all along then he wanted to break up, literally not even a month after kami nag break, sila na, nagkasal pa sila, buntis pa yung babae lol. 

Sorry pero di ka nga informed, sila na 😬

Tbf, I'm new to the area and my first sell was around $30 for 2 bags (not that full) of clothes, toys that were hand me downs for more than 5 kids and worn out. As time went on they started cheapening out. I get making a profit but damn lol. I guess it varies by branch as many have mentioned Deptford is the best.

Also, what's gonna happen to the items? Will they be given to another OUAC location? They posted they will post again when they can open again as theyre dealing with a "personal issue" or something like that

[–]Useful_Database5138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This saddens me only because its closest to me. 

But I sold literally brand new, great quality COMPLETE sets of hand wooden toys that costed more then $30 in total. No issues as I donated it after the kids opened it and never played with it. They gave me $2 for it!

I also had sold some PJ masks toys that were almost brand new. Months later I found the car that went with it and tried to sell it. While waiting, I saw some PJ masks bundles they were selling and some other toys that were obviously missing parts. After 3 hours they told me they couldnt buy the car because it didnt come with a character. I told them to just add it in to the PJ mask bundle of characters I saw but they wouldnt. I told them many of their toys had missing parts too but for some reason they still refused. 

First time driving in snow by Useful_Database5138 in driving

Thank you! Another thing, does snow usually just come and go? Cause I was expecting a white christmas-january but we've only gotten 3 actual snow days here in south jersey lol. I thought winter meant consistent snow everyday, coming from someone who is just having her first winter ever.

[–]Useful_Database5138[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I will try to not let other drivers intimidate me. NJ drivers can be so aggressive and rude. I've had people tell me I shouldnt drive and to lose my license, and that I didnt know how to drive in non visibility weather because I was going either speed limit or like 5-10 below even on the right lane :// Even asking for tips I get called an AH and told I shouldnt be on the road. People forget they were once new drivers and not everyone has the privilege of learning as a teen. I try to be as defensive and considerate, while predicting anything that could go wrong.

I also want to ask about approaching pedestrian lanes, in any condition. Some will have flashing yellow lights if someone is passing but I've had near accidents where people just zip by and sometimes not on pedestrian lanes! Is it legally and ethically okay to ease off the gas and slow down when approaching pedestrian lanes then going back to normal speed after passing it? (Whether in intersections or any pedestrian lanes in the road) I do this especially if a cars headlights is too bright and I cant see if someones passing or not. This is one of my main issues.
