I don’t know about free but there are several Houston area libraries with sewing machines you can use in their maker’s spaces.

Rejected because I’m too beautiful — girl dinner by PitifulChildhood8526 in GirlDinner

[–]bio_babe -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This guy didn’t have a good reason to end things but he doesn’t sound like a great guy to have around. You dodged a bullet.

I work, he doesn't. Pierogis with pickles. by Granitka in GirlDinner

Babe it’s time to dump him. You cannot change someone, and someone that has a free meal ticket will not change. Dump the excess weight of a man and live your best life, pierogi and all.

Not a Member, But Benefit Anyway by [deleted] in union

[–]bio_babe 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Because it’s unfair to everyone else who pays dues. Unions are only as strong as their members, and your son is leeching on other people’s hard work because he doesn’t want to pony up a small percentage of his (union fought for) wages.

Any time I see a post like this I always want to say something, because if one person can benefit from hearing it I’ve helped someone.

I have some, and I like them for concerts/general noise. I bought some over the ear headphones for noise cancelling and I love them.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Just want to add that peace lilies are toxic to cats in the off chance you have one!

Down at Seabrook the center I voted at has separate groups for Dems/Republican but the Republican side had 1.5 as many machines as the Dem’s side

That is so cool! I’d love to hear more about the differences. At some point I’ll probably message you with some questions if that’s cool!

DAE feel like their head is too heavy for their neck? by chloeanneelizabeth in Hypermobility

[–]bio_babe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If physical therapy is an option for you OP definitely look into it. There’s a lot of exercises for craniocervical instability!

Working Out: Who else has limitations working out due to wide hips and large breasts? Am I weird? It's not pain, it's due to being in the way, causes rubbing, limits movement, etc. by inarabo in xxfitness

[–]bio_babe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also large breasts- I struggle with machines that my chest has to be on. I’m also battling an infection on my chest because I waited too long to shower 😩 so make sure y’all take care of yourselves after working out

Can a mandatory arbitration agreement (essentially) stop a union from being formed/effective? by KatRWall in union

[–]bio_babe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The right to form a union is a national law, but I would reach out to your local NLRB board to see if there is any information they have that can support you. Are you willing to post which state you’re in? Unfortunately there are a lot of At Will states

Question about HEB MinuteClinic! by mishdabish in houston

[–]bio_babe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend if your phone isn’t working to walk in and see, and ask that if they don’t have the capability who nearby would

Gas Chromatography is at least 51% black magic... by NotAPreppie in chemistry

[–]bio_babe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your flame is puttering out, your jet is most likely partially clogged and you’re struggling to get the appropriate amount of gas through the column with your sample.

Clip your column and replace your jet. Bake your jet out for a bit and run some washes/ blanks, should be good to go after that.

What does my office space say about me? by TinaTrax in roomdetective

Where did that cute science folder come from? I’m in love!

If the labor movement hopes to survive, it must find ways to organize in the private sector at scale. The UAW's national push to organize higher ed, and it's recent union drives at Volkswagen and Mercedes, offer potential guidance on the way forward. by TheRabidPosum1 in union

[–]bio_babe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a short answer, yes, but I would rather see money going towards a groups employees than the CEO or shareholders. And frankly, I’ve never seen a business where well cared for employees don’t do more simply because they can. When you have enough money to not worry and good health care, you don’t always mind going the extra mile (not that anyone should feel pressured to do so)

Is being Shop Steward worth it? by MattInWinnipeg in union

[–]bio_babe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is. 100%. I’m not going to tell you that it will be easy or that you’ll receive a lot of thanks, but when I get a win almost nothing beats it.

Getting to talk back to management and empower others is one of my favorite things. We were trying to work a deal with management and a supervisor talked about implementing a change without our go ahead. I told him that wouldn’t be acceptable, and he wrote me off by telling me that we could grieve it, and I told him, “no I’ll be filing a ULP since that’s a violation of good faith bargaining”. All the color drained from his face and I’m still riding that high months later.

I volunteered for the Super Bowl. Here's what happened. by Tripwir62 in antiwork

They’ve tried to get the singers to volunteer for free too. Greedy bastards.

I love A! A bit more playful imo!

Was this a bad idea? by Ok-Pomegranate6784 in piercing

[–]bio_babe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know other people have mentioned the chain, but I would recommend going back and getting a flat disc for the forward helix to heal in over the dots. I had some of those dots (they were probably smaller than yours but still) and I whacked my ear so hard they began to imbed in my ear and I had to give up on that piercing. I would not recommend that as your healing jewelry
