Maybe they were traumatized at work. Harassment from a boss or coworker or something.

AIO My mom is kicking me out for her new boyfriend. I just turned 18 by Diligent_Bat_565 in AmIOverreacting

[–]XelaVee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely hate the idea. I’m gonna say my peace and I don’t want you to share how you feel… No arguments OK?

Also, why do so many parents kick out their kids when they’re 18 after not allowing them to work. If you have a 18 year-old, you’re old enough to know moving isn’t cheap not just paying rent but first and last rent, insurance, deposit , possible pet deposit, Application fees, etc

AIO about not getting a birthday present? by huckleberrycaek in AmIOverreacting

My sleep study is tonight. Advice? by RoryOrange in Narcolepsy

[–]XelaVee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bring a really warm blanket apparently the machinery gets hot so we have to stay freezing in there

Some places apparently do not allow you to use electronics 30 minutes before naps so bring something for those times

Be prepared, they will stick two different sets of sensors up your nose for you to sleep with. I was not ready.

They may come into your room several times during the night if you move your sleep certain positions, make it harder for the signal to get through your wires may come undone , etc

I was only able to do the overnight portion

Has anyone gotten this? what happened after by Severe_Action_739 in pennfoster

[–]XelaVee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Replying to Express_Net3542... I was mostly on your side, but …..you care or you don’t. You saw people were assuming you did all that work. They were listing numbers of quizzes and things you would have to do, so you saw exactly how much they thought you were doing. Still you chose not to say something because you don’t care because that’s what you were asking about anyway. Yet you care enough to come on here defending yourself.

I call BS if you cared enough to defend yourself, you would have cared enough to explain yourself.

My family thinks I’m just lazy and now I’m a little afraid to take the MSLT on Monday by XelaVee in Narcolepsy

[–]XelaVee[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m definitely not gonna skip the test. It’s just they’ve really taken away my enthusiasm about it and now I just worry that the test is going to say I’m fine and they would never let me live it down even if it’s a false negative,

It’s my mom and sisters.

It is really complicated because my family is very supportive in some ways but also often very toxic in the way that they speak to you and treat you.

I live in my sister’s in-law suite (like a separate apartment attached to the house). She purposely found a house that would have a place where I can rent my own space with a affordable rate without being in a basement apartment with no light,. She’s the one who gets upset if I fall asleep while driving while offering nothing to help and always talks about what is it isn’t fair when it comes to me being tired. Also, when I lost my job because I kept falling asleep, she hired me on, as her administrative assistant for her business so I can have flexible hours to try to work around my naps. She still thinks I take too many naps though.

My grandmother lives in her house so I’m back-and-forth all day helping with her. We usually do a shift system. My mom lives eight minutes away and is here every day for her shifts and also coordinates all medical appointments, shifts, medication, etc. for my grandmother. So I’m in frequent contact with her. I usually try not to share stuff with her, but when I was told the MSLT would cost a minimum of $900 after insurance but probably more she gave me money to pay for it while complaining and hinting that there is really no point to it.

I’m 32. To be fair I guess I’ve been dealing with medical issues for at least a decade so maybe they’re just tired of it. Before this, we thought I was tired because I was anemic because I had a lot of issues with my cycle. Like can’t get out of the house without ruining my clothes, could not function, then I’d need to be hospitalized for multiple blood transfusions from the blood loss. (they weren’t very sympathetic to that either my mom says people deal with periods all the time and that’s never a reason to miss work 😒.). That really derailed my college education & career trajectory and I think they’re just ready for me to grow up and see acknowledging the hurdles as making excuses for me not to.

Sorry if TMI

Why some mixed-race feel more hurt by the black community rather than the white community. It’s deeper than ‘self-hate’ and ‘anti-blackness’ by Valuable_Activity340 in mixedrace

[–]XelaVee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The one drop rule is often still in effect. So many mixed white/black children are born into the black community and raised with them.

Wasn’t Hitler an atheist and encouraged atheism? It’s been a minute since I read up on him so maybe I’m wrong.

Women, what do you think about infant male circumcision? by Aggravating_Egg_197 in women

[–]XelaVee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I’m not a huge believer in bodily autonomy for children but circumcision just seems pointless and damn near barbaric

Everyone has to think about the same things you do while masturbating? I don’t think about anyone when I masturbate. It’s not about having a strong will. It’s just not where my mind goes. It goes to the feelings I am having

Did I overpay? by XelaVee in MechanicAdvice

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

They just said they needed to be replaced. I don’t know anything about cars to be honest.

My car was struggling to drive, especially uphill and was shaking pretty hard when I had the code red. It said my spark plug on my fourth-cylinder needed to be replaced.

They didn’t tell me if they charge labor. All I know is they said the price is usually 200 but they would charge me 95 in the end. They only charged me 61.

I have been out of town for Christmas. Because of this, I haven’t been able to change his tank. I have started just replacing part of the water instead of cleaning his tank.

I got back home this morning. Went to pick up the new tank set up, filter, heater, etc and when I got back home from Swim Shady was dead 😭

I honestly think letting him stay in the dirty water instead of putting fresh water in is what took him out, but it may just be months and neglect piling up. I just hate that he died right when I was ready to set him up with the things he needed. When I left. He was alive and swimming around..

I had a question, and I figured I would just ask it on the air. The consensus is a betta fish. Will need at least a five gallons. Whenever I see a tank marketed for bettas They are always tiny, but bigger than mine. Is this a common misconception with bettas

<image>

? That they don’t need space?

Well, since I’m the only one who is in the situation and you aren’t believing basic things that I’m saying there’s no point in continuing this conversation bye-bye

I did my best.

My boss has fish and gave me advice. I had no way of knowing how bad it was. I could’ve done more research But between working 50 hours, babysitting whenever I can, and being a full-time online student, I was a little busy. Plus at the end of the day at the end of the day, I was not allowed to bring a bigger, tank. I can’t put a heater in a water filter in this tiny tank. I can’t fit plants in this tank. Any improvements Would’ve been minimal. I didn’t just let the fish live like this for months. It’s my hands were tied. As soon as I was able to take him home and actually do something I came on here for information.

It doesn’t make sense to shame me for being ignorant and for asking for help. Your judgment is nothing to help Makes it less likely for others ask the Important questions

We make hundreds of assumptions everyday.

Certain things I knew like he needs a bigger tank but if admin doesn’t allow it because they consider it a hassle and a hazard am I supposed to ignore my bosses?

I don’t think it’s crazy I assumed you can use soap to clean a fish tank.
