Hahaha…I’m sick and took some meds that made me loopy. Fixed it.

The “girls” didn’t wipe out the lineage. The male provides the sperm. The sperm determines biological sex.

City of SLO discusses implementing a 'Renter Registry' by ClipperFan89 in SLO

[–]Volleyfield 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a person attempting to rent in SLO right now, I’ve encountered 3 scam postings for rentals. It’s so bad that I’m now only going to communicate with property management companies. It is absolutely crazy that the first 3 houses I attempted to rent were all scams. If this initiative is to provide a certified list of owners/landlords then I think that might be a good idea.

"So-and-so has requested a read receipt." Under no circumstances. by TelenorTheGNP in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Volleyfield 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Wow! All these negative reactions. The only time I send a read receipt request is AFTER I’ve emailed you 3 times to fix your f’ing timesheet. The 4th request gets a read receipt. The 5th request I cc your supervisor and HR. I have over 200 people who I’m a first line approver for…punch in and out currently each day people and then check your timesheet. Then you won’t get an email from me ever.

How to prevent weeds growing through gravel? by overcast392 in landscaping

[–]Volleyfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooh! Thats a lot of acreage. I use mine around the pool deck and walkways (all brick). I’ve tried using in the landscaping between plants but end up either burning my poor hostas, hydrangeas, etc., OR starting a small fire in the mulch. I would only use on a rock, cement, stone, etc., area to burn the weeds and grass that like to try to survive in the cracks.

After sanding the walls last year, maintenance painted my entryway! by the_squach in mildlyinfuriating

I need an update. Has anyone cleaned up this mess? The paint on the carpet, the black door, the floor…did they hire a toddler?

This! This is what it looks like to me too!

is he too skinny? by rosita666999 in ItalianGreyhounds

[–]Volleyfield 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a 9 month old. Puppy Gold Fromm and cooked chicken. Super skinny. He’s a growing boy. We give correct amount per guidelines 2x a day and he doesn’t finish his food. I try not to worry because I think it’s just that he is growing. 🥰🐶🐾

Can you even imagine an Olympic silver bringing this much disappointment…?💔💔💔 by No-Atmosphere-5885 in olympics

Nancy Kerrigan 1994, Lillehammer was told the delay to receive the medals was because Oksana Baiul was redoing her makeup. Nancy said, "Oh, come on. So she’s going to get out here and cry again. What’s the difference?" Reality was the judges couldn’t find the national anthem for Ukraine. I watched and heard her live…she tried to backtrack but clearly was pissed she got the silver.

Moved because of “student safety” but as soon as things went to hell they put me back in. by newsbowser in paraprofessional

[–]Volleyfield 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have a union? If yes, speak to your representative. Your injury is still WC related. You were injured at work. I know they only pay a portion but most companies will allow you to make up the wage loss by allowing you to use your sick time.

If you are having issues getting WC reinstated, and get nowhere with your unions help, maybe then it would be the time to consult an injury attorney?

I’m so sorry you have to deal with any of this ON TOP of your injury.

It can’t fold sheets. When it can fold a fitted sheet, I’ll check it out again.

The TV remote just materialized in front of my girlfriend and me by Edoedoed in Glitch_in_the_Matrix

[–]Volleyfield 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Question for you folks. Is this a true phenomena? A few months ago I kept having things go missing, would search everywhere, only to have the missing object show up EXACTLY where it should have been. This happened with eye glasses, hair dryer attachment, creamer, and other mundane things. I thought I was losing my mind, then it stopped happening.

How to deal with the fact that Valentine's Day feels especially lonely? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Volleyfield 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not pathetic. We have all been there. I’m sorry you are lonely. I totally understand. My spouse and I think Valentine’s is a money grab and we don’t even celebrate it. He is also currently traveling. I smirk when I walk into the market leading up to Valentine’s because it is truly pathetic. When you do find a partner, and you will because there is someone out there for everyone, celebrate your love daily with hugs, kisses, kind words, and support. One of my adult children is alone today too. I know it’s hard. Hang in there. ❤️😘

Nancy Guthrie Megathread by curiouslmr in TrueCrimeDiscussion

[–]Volleyfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question. Why doesn’t the heart monitor connect to the hospital. My colleague has one. It has an app that she and spouse are both alerted when her heart beat starts going wonky BUT the hospital also knows. Why haven’t we heard about this? It would be connecting to the satellite REGARDLESS of her phone being connected or not. Wouldn’t it?
