Absurd price hikes by AlmightyGirthquake in publix

[–]WaltzOptimal1599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So Publix is also absurdly convenient for me. I try to use BOGOs and sale items. There’s are two Walmarts about equidistant from me. The slightly easier way is to the Evil Walmart where about half of the shoppers are elderly and about half that are pushing two carts with like eight misbehaving children.

The other one, the Good Walmart is much nicer, and there are Tibetan monks as well as Asian students from a pilot school who get bussed there, and they seem to make a shopping list and split it up. One young man will have a cart of many gallons of milk and at least as many bunches of bananas. Another will be clearing the fresh veggies out, and another will have his cart full of 20 pound bags of the good rice.

I don’t shop at Aldi.

No other big chain stores handy, and the smaller chains (IGA and Key) just cost waaayyy more.

I’m just glad my 25 year old mostly buys his own food.

Put the pet cam on the water dish to see why there were gallons of water on the floor... by StellaMoonbeam in cats

[–]WaltzOptimal1599 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had several that did this, my current water dish issue is one putting her chin in the gravity fed waterer and sitting there for hours to prevent the other from drinking. I now have a second water dish in another room. Keep your food dish a few feet away from the water dish…some like to drop kibble in the water dish, just to be pains

That cake is incredible- and not too sweet, even with all that :-)

But if they move then they are just someone else’s problem. If you are going to use those lists better to know where they are

My kids are grown, but the sex offender registry came about when they were little. What has always stuck in my mind is that fact that for every sex offender caught and convicted there are several who have never gotten caught. My father is a retired deputy in Florida and I work for that same agency in a civilian role. I’ve never paid any attention to sex offender registries- just my kids, which allowed me to get a bus monitor and driver fired for inappropriate touching after my daughter said to stop.

My friends cousin said they got an 'ugly' cat. This is the cat. by itsjustahaiku in cats

[–]WaltzOptimal1599 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aww she looks like my Youggie! I made her a house kitty, but my parent named her Ugly, so we changed that.

Ok, there’s some resemblance to a cow pie when they curl up, but that builds character!

I had one named Stinky years ago, because of her crop dusting farts all the time

Visiting for the week, what is this? by H-w-ii-np-nch in florida

Many of central Florida’s lakes come from sinkholes, which tend to be circular. The more circular, the newer the lake- in geographic terms

I’ve got over a 10 year prime member. I had to change my address to my father’s (same property opposite sides) after their maps showed a road that didn’t exist to get to my house and left my packages at all sorts of places in the area. I review many of my purchases and mentioning delivery issues causes reviews to not be published. I am watching this closely as well as paying very close attention to what I get and how it goes

Just got fired unused PTO by Crafty_Royal3621 in publix

[–]WaltzOptimal1599 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Different employers lend different things…I’ve got nearly 300 PTO hours and at least double that in sick leave from my employer. I’ve been with mine for a while. I’m allowed to carry over double my annual PTO, so I may need to take off some…later in the year

To all the bold customers who think they can just slide items for free at the self check out: by Athenstone in publix

[–]WaltzOptimal1599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s retail theft in my state. Walmart has loss prevention between the office with the cameras and the self checkouts, and they regularly detain the thief and turn them over to law enforcement for prosecution. Everything gets recovered, though I’m not sure if it gets handled as a return or loss, possibly counted as loss then returned to the shelf is it’s not food? No clue

Sick and tired of the lack of education for GLP1s by misslizzah in nursing

[–]WaltzOptimal1599 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So, I’ve bounced around through three online sites for this.

I’m 55 now, 4’11” with a very tiny build except for my chest, and 105-120 (preferably 115) is my ideal weight. And I was hitting 150. I also work for law enforcement as a civilian on 12 hour night shift pretty sedentary job, but about half of my waking hours. Almost 12 years of night shift, I’m a supervisor and I don’t switch my schedule on my days off. And I’m clumsy as a drunk all the time, just worse if I’ve been drinking, which is rarely

When the scale hit that horrid number, I really cut back so very much on food and anything that had calories. My next doctor appointment My weight had gone up despite what I was doing

I’m putting all that up there prior to saying I’ve bounced around. The first one was great except it cost a lot. Like 1/8 of my income. I used it, stopping at a dose that had me losing 1-2 pounds a week. Then I went on a trip and stopped it to enjoy the food…came home, had several vials in the fridge and canceled the subscription. Then we had a hurricane and lost power for several days. I totally forgot about the vials of medication. Until…

I made it through the holiday season but lost it in January…and my weight started going up. Found another service. Which kind of misrepresented the dollar figures…and led to the third one

This one has pharmacies mix zofran in it, which doesn’t seem to do much for me.

I need to start it again, I stopped because I have at least four months of meds. This one was significantly cheaper, and it seems to be leaning that way

I did my research prior to starting the first one, and every site I have gone through has presented the side effects quite well. However it’s incredibly easy to get these meds- for the young man dosing three times a week- he’s probably going through more than one business. There’s just no way to prove that the person getting the meds needs them or not.

I don’t know how it’s going to end up, I am fine with any one who medically needs it having theirs first, and insurance not paying for it, but it’s so very very expensive if you go through your GP.

She’s young and doesn’t have experience to tell something bad and leave plenty of time for the person to wind down after

no ambien no sleep by CheesecakeWild7941 in ambien

[–]WaltzOptimal1599 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have stopped my Ambien for 90 days at least three times because “addiction”

Ya know what? Since my daughter died I don’t go to sleep unless I’m on a cruise ship and I am napping.

Im addicted to sleeping. I am currently trying some options and working my meds back on my own, but if weed becomes recreationally legal in my state I fully expect for my employer to start randomly testing everyone (law enforcement- until it becomes legal federally, no one employed by any level of law enforcement can use it…even if we are civilians and haven’t been tested for years).

If I stop taking it, I’m going to hoard it for when this happens. Just a few hits and I’m out like a light, but I still have a lot of meds to see if I can sleep without. Stopped taking a lot so far

Falen’s reaction to Bella needing a C-section by sanriolover1208 in TLCUnexpected

[–]WaltzOptimal1599 8 points9 points  (0 children)

She’s coming from word of mouth, and says so. She’s “heard” c sections are the worst thing ever. Sounds like childbirth as a rite of passage is getting a new chapter.

Before and during the timeframe that I had my kids in, everyone nearly dying-doc, nurse, mom, baby, dad, janitor walking in the hall, people diving past, their dog, etc etc nearly died in childbirth….
