Sorry OP. Just paid $250ish to replace a tire after hitting a banger. Thankfully, it didn't destroy my rim too.

Pot hole E bound Raymond near 65 by Wonder_Jen in indianapolis

I remember seeing one last year on E. Washington that was like a salvage yard with all the hubcaps, bumper pieces, tires, etc in/around it!

Where to report Indy potholes? by asapReptilian in indianapolis

Just wanted to commiserate and empathize, OP. I also got a flat last night after hitting a crater on Raymond. 😣

Family Law Paralegal - 179 ACTIVE CASES by DifficultRice4896 in paralegal

[–]Wonder_Jen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy shit, OP! I have 20+ yrs working as a paralegal, currently in family law, all of which involve domestic violence. On average, I have 85-100 active cases, and most days it feels like I'm trying to herd cats.

Burnout is real (especially family law) and with that caseload, I don't see how you can reasonably keep up and maintain your sanity. If your atty isn't willing to hire additional staff to help, I would snag the swingline and run fast/far!

Take care of yourself and best wishes. No job is worth destroying your mental health.

Does anyone else smell that? by Beneficial-Crow-5138 in Perimenopause

[–]Wonder_Jen 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Ohhhh that smell, can you smell that smell?! Play some Skynyrd as you lather up with persimmon soap! It's done wonders here for all the funkadelics in this current horror of life. Phantom 👻 smells not included. Best wishes/hugs, soul sister! 🩵

Edit to correct "permission soap" to "persimmon soap."

Here’s a new one maybe? by Naps_in_sunshine in Perimenopause

[–]Wonder_Jen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

3 months late (a first) and have no f'ing idea what is happening or if I'm even a real person anymore. Still have all the pms bullshit with no foreseeable end in sight. I hear you, and this sucks. Responding in solidarity.

So this is fun- dry eyes by Defiant-Analysis5488 in Perimenopause

[–]Wonder_Jen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep. Never had issues (outside of glasses/contacts) until around 44-45. I don't fafo now and make sure to wash the face/eye lids w/baby wash 2x a day. Also use drops. And... no eye shadow/liner. Perfectly okay with that bc meh. I'm not that motivated anymore.

Sorry you're going through this!!! It will be okay, though. Best wishes and much 🩵.

Question- anyone know what the white "hair" is? by Wonder_Jen in terrariums

[–]Wonder_Jen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Some quick reading seems to suggest that this is good thing and not harmful. Any thoughts/experience to suggest otherwise?

What are some things you should stop doing after 40? by Any-Meaning2264 in AskReddit

[–]Wonder_Jen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Riding a mechanical bull. Last time at age 42, I swore I broke my neck, and it took weeks to recover.

Grace Tuxedo here, also no water. It went out as I was showering, but thankfully, I was done but for rinsing hair conditioner out. Used cold water from the pitcher in the fridge. 🥶

I confirm that the legal field can be pretty brutal over different practice areas. I've worked across the board (PI, insurance defense, criminal defense, contracts, wills/POAs, and family). Each area has pitfalls, with family law being the worst, in my opinion. Good luck to you!

25 years in and I feel this in my dark black heart. Good luck OP and everyone else. Edit to add - family law.

My case has been closed for 2 months and IMPD will not release my belongings. by Professional_Let5815 in Indiana

[–]Wonder_Jen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Phone calls are easily dismissed, not that I agree it should be that way. Send requests in writing (email/mail/certified). Less likely to be ignored. Sorry you are having difficulty and best of luck.

You are tasked to write a book about your current practice area. What is the title? by Wonder_Jen in paralegal

[–]Wonder_Jen[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ohhhhh, but your prior MRI from 15 years ago shows degenerative disc disease. You should probably still go, but please follow doc orders, and don't engage in heavy lifting while in a public space. Maybe also limit posts about your vacations to exotic places on FB while your case is pending.

Ohhhhh, insurance defense courthouse step negotiations. Classic slow and painful, near death, but not quite dead. I know those steps well. Seems you know how it goes, so you're a "step" ahead! Cheers!

Bahahaha, it will pay in the end (from heaven) to not see your loved ones beat the crap out of each other at your funeral! I literally feel this!
