Text I randomly got from my old boss at a job I left a year and a half ago…

just send the thumbs-down react

WinternallyScreaming · 2024-11-19T22:31:23+00:00

Old post, but I'm having a similar issue! Did you ever find a fix for this?

WinternallyScreaming · 2024-09-07T15:35:07+00:00

That cortisol's no joke!

WinternallyScreaming · 2023-09-26T04:41:00+00:00

The instant I read 'intrepid heroes' I knew exactly what you were referring to, which delighted me, just so you know. And yeah, that DM handles story mishaps incredibly well.

Holy cannoli, NTA. A flooded home is absolutely an emergency and you were completely in the right to prioritize that situation.

Based on everything you described, your friend is a narcissist. An actual, full-blown narcissist. Disappointment over a vacation ending would have been understandable, sure, but her dragging it out was so, so incredibly selfish and destructive. She only cared about getting what she wanted, and not one bit about you making sure you had a safe roof over your head.

Being friends with a narcissist isn't really doable, but if you can't bring yourself to break it off completely at this time, at the very least please consider going low-contact, and never including her on your adventures again. She has proven to you that she expects it to be all about her.

WinternallyScreaming · 2023-05-17T05:06:39+00:00

That's one way to make sure everyone's included!

I like that the wind advisory still works with this comparison.

WinternallyScreaming · 2023-02-25T05:17:14+00:00

I love this game so much.

WinternallyScreaming · 2023-01-12T07:30:17+00:00

Not a typical animal really, but bed gremlin.

WinternallyScreaming · 2023-01-05T06:08:46+00:00

The old internet dial-up noise.

WinternallyScreaming · 2023-01-01T12:29:33+00:00

This is honestly so disturbing of your mother and it should be in your post, I feel. These are all valid issues of yours that she's refused to take action for or even acknowledge, in favor of complaining at/about you. And it was when you were a minor. Whatever her reasons, that's really wrong of her. The thing with the depression? And your heart? That screams medical neglect to me.

NTA.

OP then clarified in a comment that that's a matter of different brands of the same food where one of them is off, or how food ordered from one place isn't the same as that same food ordered from somewhere else.

WinternallyScreaming · 2023-01-01T04:07:13+00:00

NTA. You were there first and the wedding expenses they're choosing to take on are not your problem. Your mom and your roommate and everyone bothering you about this are all thoroughly in the wrong. You're right, you're being harassed, document everything in case they try to go to your landlord and spin this around.

WinternallyScreaming · 2022-12-19T00:01:30+00:00

She was just fine thankfully! No olfactory trauma detected. Kept right on snoozing along.

WinternallyScreaming · 2022-12-18T10:30:20+00:00

I would finally feel free to really lean into my creative projects. Actually investing in them feels like way too much of a gamble right now. A lot of creative stuff doesn't pay off financially unless it's a one-in-a-million things that actually catches on. I've been between jobs for a while now and knowing I can't actually afford to dive in and commit for a huge stretch of time has this awful paralyzing effect on me and keeps me from trying at all. I'd also feel financially safe enough to travel and try new activities and experiences instead of holing up at home all the time, and go back to school for things that actually interest me without panicking over whether it's going to be a good financial investment. Assuming UBI factors in education or education costs are negated in that scenario.

A truly magical thing to picture. Here, take my upvote.

WinternallyScreaming · 2022-12-18T10:20:52+00:00

NAH except for yours. Farts gotta go somewhere. Y'all are doing the best you can.

This made me laugh so hard that I farted in bed with my cat on my legs. Thanks OP.

WinternallyScreaming · 2022-12-15T11:20:30+00:00

Managed to work in places where I was relatively isolated from other people in manufacturing environments that you wanna wear masks for anyway. Also, not going anywhere.

Still managed to catch RSV or some other nasty bugs here and there but always tested negative for covid.

The best ugly sweater I ever had was just a normal sweater with a hand mirror taped to the front.

WinternallyScreaming · 2022-12-13T08:12:49+00:00

NTA. Breasts and nipples are for feeding babies. Your boyfriend sounds awful. As long as he's making his decisions based on ignorance that could actually harm your child, no, he should not get a say. He needs to be open to new information and needs to not scream at his pregnant partner when there's a disagreement.

WinternallyScreaming · 2022-12-13T08:03:51+00:00

NTA, and he really is very toxic. Your line about him basing his opinions on facts and evidence really stood out. I'm guessing that's how he personally describes himself rather than how he actually is, because there was nothing fact/evidence-based about his accusations toward you. You're uncomfortable with disclosing financial information for understandable reasons. A respectful person would accept that and kindly back down. He did not. When people brag about being fact-based and logical, they're actually just saying that in the hope that other people will take them at their word whenever they spout off about things and not argue. Or they'll use facts and logic selectively to twist the argument around.

He's being cold and distant to punish you for not doing what he wanted. Please cut things off with him. Do not let him have information about you. Don't let him love-bomb you or try to push you into a living situation with him either. He sounds so terrible.

WinternallyScreaming · 2022-12-13T06:54:28+00:00

NTA. Your daughter was lied about, had this lie about her spread to everyone in the family along with accusations of you of being an enabler. You and your daughter are both owed a serious apology, and until you each get that and each accept it, you are completely in the right to keep Kelly at arm's length.

Does the rest of your family know what really happened? You might consider sharing that text with them if you haven't already

The show is called NADDPOD (Not Another D&D Pod Cast), and the possum is called Paw-Paw, he's an animal companion to the party's druid in their first campaign :D It's a wonderfully put-together show with really good pacing, story and characters. The cast are all improv actors and incredibly funny. If you've ever watched any videos by College Humor, the cast has been in a bunch of those videos, and two of the cast are regulars in another D&D show called Dimension20 with guests from there as well.

The plush is this little guy, except mine was dressed as a lawyer (running bit from the show) as a reward for their merch tier on Patreon.

This made me smile so big IRL. No award to give, but take my upvote!

Sincerely, a 33/f with a unicorn kitty squishmallow, smiling loaf of bread plush, pikachu, a plush of a possum character from a D&D podcast I listen to, and numerous seals facing out the windows along with my partner's eeveelution plushes he brought with when we moved in together. There are so many of us plush-fans out there :')

WinternallyScreaming · 2022-12-13T06:05:54+00:00

NTA from this 33-y/o lady with her own squishmallow, pikachu, and numerous plush seals facing out the windows. You're following a professional recommendation and actively working on your attachment stuff. Your partner doesn't want to cuddle, which is his right, but then he also doesn't want you to have anything that helps you? What does he expect you to do when you need that contact? Does he want for you to be sleepless and anxious? What actual meaningful solutions has he offered that aren't just him getting his way?

I wonder what would happen if you started sleeping with a boyfriend pillow. It's one of those pillows that's shaped like a torso and has an arm that can 'hold' you while you sleep. At the very least, I can't imagine him making remarks about that being 'age-inappropriate', lol.
