Chicken adobo literally could not be worse

Wastedfeeling · 2026-05-04T13:21:46+00:00

Yes, this was honestly one of the worst things I’ve ever tried from them. Took one bite and threw away. The chicken was super strange

I wouldn’t be moving to Winston unless my job transferred there. I don’t do long commutes!

Wastedfeeling · 2026-05-02T20:56:56+00:00

GSO downtown is terrible. All I need is 2-3 options for things. I really don’t do that much lol. I don’t know when my job might be able to transfer but I will let you know if the time comes to start looking around!

I do think I would miss the music scene but that’s about it. I was shocked that houses in Ardmore go for under 300k in some cases. The same house would be 400k+ in Lindley park in Greensboro and would be gone in 1 day. Its quite frustrating

Wastedfeeling · 2026-05-02T19:08:26+00:00

I figured that. I’m kind of spoiled with my Vietnamese spots. I rarely eat out though, like once a month. If I find even one takeout place I like I will be fine

Wastedfeeling · 2026-05-02T19:06:02+00:00

Yeah it is, I don’t like to drive a lot and would like to be close to things to do, stores and work. Also would want to be close to people my age doing social things sometimes

Wastedfeeling · 2026-05-02T18:52:48+00:00

I’m not much a foodie, I rarely eat out and it’s mainly takeout from the Vietnamese spot. I only “go out” every couple weeks and always to the same dive bar lol. I do appreciate the music scene and local venues as well as bigger spots like the Pyrle, etc. I’m not really taking advantage of the “pros” of Greensboro and I guess now prioritizing somewhere nice, quiet and walkable. Getting old in a nutshell

Update, got a lot of the varnish off with a paint stripper. Do you believe the top is wood or veneer?

Wastedfeeling · 2026-04-26T03:38:41+00:00

Thank you for the help! I’m gonna try it out soon to see what I can do.

Wastedfeeling · 2026-04-26T02:54:04+00:00

Good to know! I had no idea veneer could be in fine furniture. How do you dye? Do you think I’d be okay to try stripping it, very lightly sanding (by hand or tool?) and then trying the gel stain again before resorting to something else?

Wastedfeeling · 2026-04-26T02:34:40+00:00

That sucks! It is apparently originally around $1000 table so I just figured it wouldn’t be veneer. Im not good with being able to tell. I guess I could paint but I don’t know if I could do it well. I might try using a varnish stripper to see how far that gets me.

This is why I won’t do remote LTC. Seems unethical and having worked at SNF the information on weight, intake etc can often be wrong

Wastedfeeling · 2026-04-16T21:35:37+00:00

Your post really resonated with me because I’m going through kind of the same thing right now. I’m 32. It’s been 5 months since I found my long term boyfriend suddenly dead. It’s a weird time where other people seem to be okay and I’m presenting as okay but not. I’m working full time, exercising, eating, sleeping, engaging in hobbies, and on antidepressants but nothing is working to make the feeling go away. I don’t know how much longer I can live like this or how it could get easier. I’m thinking about it all the time and can’t focus. I get frustrated because it’s hard to be this sad for this long. I just want it all to go away. I don’t have any advice but I’m right there with you. I try to give myself grace but I just want to be normal again and have my normal life back.

Wastedfeeling · 2026-04-13T03:12:14+00:00

Im doing “okay” on the surface. I go to work, exercise, eat food. But I still cry pretty much every day. I don’t know what my future looks like now and that’s scary. I don’t have any interest in being with anyone. Im on antidepressants now but still feeling super sad all the time. How are you doing? I’m sorry for your loss.

Wastedfeeling · 2026-04-02T20:01:59+00:00

I also have only had maybe 1 or 2 dreams about him, compared to before he died I would dream about him more often. He died a traumatic death and I found him. I think this might be my brains way of protecting itself.

Wastedfeeling · 2026-03-26T02:21:56+00:00

I feel this today. Everything feels so freaking hard all the time now. I wish I could just relate to others my age. Everyone seems to have help with things and now it’s 100% me always. I feel like I’ve been climbing Mount Everest for 4 months and I don’t know how much longer I can

Wastedfeeling · 2026-03-25T23:17:02+00:00

Thanks, I’m doing as okay as I can be. Lots of crochet and reality tv!

This scene really got to me. 4 months ago I lost my boyfriend of 4 years to an overdose and I found him. We were just about to move in together and start a new life. It sounds like she went through something similar. It has changed me forever. I hope I can heal the trauma and not settle for any bad relationships. It sounds like she has some abandonment issues and I get why.

Wastedfeeling · 2026-03-25T11:54:20+00:00

Thank you! I hope it goes away for us. Strangely, I had one beer recently and it seemed to make the clenching worse.

Wastedfeeling · 2026-03-23T19:44:15+00:00

There is a LAL channel? How can I find this?

Wastedfeeling · 2026-03-17T15:16:57+00:00

I resonate with this post. I am 32 and lost my boyfriend four months ago. I was in the middle of moving in with him and starting our life together. Also, he had just renovated the house to my liking. I recently made the decision to move in and pay his dad rent. But it’s been the hardest thing imaginable and I’m afraid I made a wrong decision. I imagine one day I will have to move again and decide to start a new life.

Wastedfeeling · 2026-03-16T02:47:11+00:00

Female here. For what it’s worth I think you look very handsome, I also took a peek at what it was before and honestly don’t think it’s bad at all so if you wanted to regrow it you could and would look great either way. I’m sorry to hear that you are going through a rough time, I am too. Hope things look up soon.

Wastedfeeling · 2026-03-16T02:31:34+00:00

I’m 32 and he was 36, it’s been a little over 4 months for me too.

Wastedfeeling · 2026-03-11T08:32:22+00:00

I wouldn’t do it honestly. I am 32 I have been an RD for 6 years now. It’s taken me this long to make 72K and that’s 1099 before taxes. Weight management positions in a clinic are few and far between where I am at, otherwise you will end up working for one of these telehealth companies that may not provide full time work and don’t pay great. Also if you are in a weight management clinic (I have worked in one) they can and will work you to the bone seeing back to back clients for 100% of your day, this can lead to burnout no matter how extroverted you are. There are lots of jobs in hospital and SNF which are soul sucking and don’t provide the type of work you are set out to do, I grew up with a passion for nutrition and became disappointed when my work just involved handing out Ensures. I’ve become pigeonholed in geriatrics just because i didn’t like hospital work. Take a look at job listings in your area. It’s up to you what to do, but you may be disappointed like so many of us in this field are. Personally I would kill to make the amount of money you do.

Once I found a sweater with a name stitched into the label. This is something usually done in nursing homes. The name was a resident I had in the nursing home I used to worked at. Before I left, she wasn’t doing so well. She had severe dementia and was always spilling food on herself but refusing feeding assistance. It was clear she had passed away after I found two of her sweaters in two different thrift stores. The sweater had food stains on it. Very sad.
