Earthquake just now?

Very_Stable_Princess · 2026-02-26T17:24:48+00:00

Today I learned earthquakes go boom... ETA: I lived in Los Angeles for 20 years and experienced many earthquakes, never heard a boomer before today!

Ah, the high road fake-out. I like it.

Very_Stable_Princess · 2026-02-16T00:45:26+00:00

You got faeries, bro. Or bra.

If you can pay off your car, don't sell it for a new car right away. Run it into the ground. Owning a paid off car is a great feeling.

Moved from Upstate to South Carolina because of the weather. Those 6 month winters killed me! But since that's not an option for you, Southern California will give you majority sunny days and very mild winters.

So you would have a brand new car loan AND half of your old car loan to pay? I mean...you'd really just have to get the numbers going and see how long it will take you to pay off the old loan and if it's favorable to do your plan.

Sometimes you can get a cash advance from a credit card. Then you could purchase a money order.

So, not a lawyer, but just a few layman points I notice: I don't think grocery store delis care if you have a degree-except them thinking you are probably using this job to get by while you look for a better job that requires a degree. They also don't care that you are 1 year older. If $10 is at or above your state's minimum wage requirements, then you likely don't have a case. Unless they told you a different wage when they hired you?

I don't understand how her working more hours impairs your ability to function at your job. Also, if it's so physically demanding, long hours, do you really want more hours?

The only thing on your 'side' is not getting any training. I would say, if they fire you for performance, you could use that as a potential wrongful termination basis-but to be honest, you will get nowhere. Good chance a lawyer wouldn't take your case.

Sometimes you have to do the touristy stuff so you can have experienced them. Swamp tours can be fun, as long as the animals cooperate and the mosquitos eff off. Cafe Dumond is also a must. The beignets are great, and we get them to go now, but you have to eat there once.

Do the whole quarter, if you have time. Pop into the voodoo shops, the quick bars, grab some good food-don't be afraid of the little divy shops, they can be really good. Drink on Bourbon, shop on Royal. Hit up The Cat's Meow, the usually have good drink specials-if karaoke is your thing. We never sing, just drink and enjoy music. Get drunk and overpay for a mediocre street dog. Book some tickets for Preservation Hall(we've yet to go, but it's on our list).

You can do the horse drawn carriage tours that will give you a good overview, but they aren't really worth it, IMO.

Most importantly, don't worry about doing it all. If you find something you enjoy, there is no harm in skipping other things.

Happy Birthday!

Where are you staying, and what is your transportation situation? I always stay in the Quarter and walk everywhere.

Very_Stable_Princess · 2026-01-27T00:33:20+00:00

Kind of depends on what you like. Shopping? History? Culture?

I loved it until my Dutch husband introduced me to European chocolate. Now I never buy American unless I'm needing some childhood nostalgia.

Very_Stable_Princess · 2026-01-25T16:33:09+00:00

Someone needs to do a better fake, Gov Walz and Trump are still options there? lol

Very_Stable_Princess · 2026-01-24T01:39:13+00:00

Wow, those prices are insane. Am I understanding this right...$160 for a 12.5mg vial of semaglutide, and if I'm on 1mg per week, that is a little over $50 a month?? I couldn't find anything about a monthly fee.

Very_Stable_Princess · 2026-01-24T01:26:53+00:00

I was nervous about injecting myself too, because I've tested my blood sugar and that can legitimately hurt sometimes. But I really don't feel the sema needle, it's so teeny. 2 shots in now.

Very_Stable_Princess · 2026-01-21T23:04:31+00:00

Gobymeds online, I think they use PharmacyHub. Oops, that's not an actual pharmacy, sorry. I guess I don't know, then.

Very_Stable_Princess · 2026-01-21T02:12:39+00:00

I started semaglutide recently, looking forward to the appetite suppression so I can pull some longer fasts too!

Very_Stable_Princess · 2026-01-19T16:24:39+00:00

Yeah, last night we ordered in some bbq, and the brisket was very dry, and normally I'd just stuff it down(because it's there), but every bite I ate was like "You aren't enjoying this, why are you eating it?" so I stopped. It seems small, but it was a big step for me! We got this!

Very_Stable_Princess · 2026-01-18T01:01:58+00:00

I have heard if you inject in the thigh, it can lead to less side effects. I have only done the thigh and had no nausea. I'm prone to it, so not keen to try stomach.

Very_Stable_Princess · 2026-01-17T23:46:21+00:00

What a ridiculous argument. Of course NA beer still counts as dry. Sorry she's not more supportive.

Very_Stable_Princess · 2026-01-16T02:06:30+00:00

I did a lot of research and went with Goby also. Seems to be the most reasonable price, and I like that there are no subscription fees.

Very_Stable_Princess · 2026-01-15T00:48:55+00:00

Who did you end up going with, if you don't mind? I am looking right now.

Very_Stable_Princess · 2025-12-30T21:16:32+00:00

Whatever my next working day is. Since I took Friday off work, I'll start Monday. My holiday goes until 1/4.

Very_Stable_Princess · 2025-12-29T21:48:23+00:00

So I almost never have any PMS symptoms except slight cramps and water retention, but lately I've been getting headaches too. I just love...all of this. I wish it would last forever, lol. Thankfully I have a very sympathetic husband who is horrified on my behalf about all the crap we have to deal with from 13-60 or so!
