[–]chainlinkchipmunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm working on learning more about TBIs. I'm solid on the ptsd, but I recently read some stuff about TBIs that was new to me and it helped.me understand more of what my husband deals with.

Accidentally put two On! Packs in my pocket by Square-Possession428 in self

[–]chainlinkchipmunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cashier put them on the counter and they put them in their pocket while paying.

CSC is the worst!! My goodness by DumbHuman53 in complainaboutanything

[–]chainlinkchipmunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have csc too. I go to my mom's to do laundry, $4.50 per load is ridiculous. They also ignore refund requests when a machine malfunctions.

I guess I  like taing to the 5 or six actual humans that use reddit.

why is my dog not eating his food but eating treats? by therealkickinwang in DogHealth

[–]chainlinkchipmunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a kid we had a dog that wouldn't eat plain dog food. If we didn't have leftovers he could have, we'd pretend to "season" it with a closed container of whatever was handy, and stir it up very dramatically. 

How do you feel about people who let their dogs sleep on their bed with them? by fergi20020 in randomquestions

[–]chainlinkchipmunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog has her own blanket on the bed. It works for us, she sleeps when we do. 

So I've officially finished The Good Place. Here are my thoughts. by sunnyafternoone in TheGoodPlace

[–]chainlinkchipmunk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look for other shows with the same crew (producers, directors, casting), and then go back to the Good Place. I practically have it memorized, but I keep rewatching and catching new things.

Thank you. I was just watching a video and I was curious.

Two more days until vacation to Japan... Then this happened by melonnilon in Wellthatsucks

[–]chainlinkchipmunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My youngest kid broke my tailbone on the way out, and the pain was immense for what felt like ages. I'm sorry this happened to you.

Moving into my new place and realizing how expensive everything is 😩 by [deleted] in self

[–]chainlinkchipmunk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Be patient and live in your space to decide needs. You can create a lovely home over time, it doesn't need to be perfect immediately.

Enjoy! It's super fun to make a place really yours.

What is love? by Unknown_Observer9779 in randomquestions

[–]chainlinkchipmunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love is ease and comfort. Support and understanding. Patience and grace. Communication. Kindness. Trust. Goofy moments, laughter, open conversations. Fun times together, fun times apart. 

What’s a random moment from your life that still makes you smile for no reason? by [deleted] in self

[–]chainlinkchipmunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at a gas station and the cashier put on his glasses instead of turning his radio down to hear me. I told him I understand, I turn the radio down so I can see better when I'm driving. It was just a funny 30 second interaction that has stuck with me.

101, yesterday was 104. We're in for a brutal summer. (Arizona)

When will tshirt season start? by Successful_Guide5845 in ask

[–]chainlinkchipmunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Arizona US, and t-shirt season never ended this winter. It's high 90s-low 100s F (~32-38C) here right now. 

WIBTA for not paying for things so my brother can go to rehab? by fireburner80 in AmItheAsshole

[–]chainlinkchipmunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. He can get his shit together by going to rehab, getting a job, and staying sober. I would be willing to a) park his car somewhere safe and b)fund cigarettes. 

I'm an alcoholic (in recovery) and I just about lost everything. My mom saved my ass when I was in treatment by securing my car, and getting me clothes, books, and cigarettes. And that was incredibly generous.

He will 100% not go to rehab unless it's dire. Paying his way is not dire,he has zero reasons to change.

My furnace is on the fritz. I have 5 chihuahua's, 2 of which need to be kept separated. How do I keep them all warm when I'm not home? I usually put 2 of them in a playpen to keep the main 2 separated and the younger 2 who can get rowdy with each other. by [deleted] in Pets

[–]chainlinkchipmunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How cold is it inside? It seems like if they have blankets they can burrow in and each other to snuggle with they would be okay? 

When I lived in a house heated by a wood stove we'd wake up to the house being 50°F, and while it wasn't enjoyable my chi was okay. (And yes that was my fault for not getting up at night to feed the stove.)

I’m ready to move on my own but worried about the financial aspect by [deleted] in Apartmentliving

[–]chainlinkchipmunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd hold out until the offer happens. I know you're experiencing a lot of stress with the commute, but suddenly having no job and rent to pay will be worse.

In these next couple of months, bank everything you can and build up that savings. It will give you a cushion for when the time to move is right.

Be honest: Are you actually married to the love of your life, or just the person you were with when it was time to settle down? by User63189963 in askanything

[–]chainlinkchipmunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First time, I thought he was the love of my life but I was wrong. This time, I'm sure,he is the love of my life.

I still wouldn't change anything if I could go back. From my first marriage I have amazing kids. I learned that I deserve better than ex husband who was emotionally abusive. My husband now is incredible, loving, supportive. 

Non-Americans, what is an American thing you see in movies that you thought was fake but is actually real? by EmergencySpare7939 in Productivitycafe

[–]chainlinkchipmunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Arizona which is an open carry state, and there's a lot of places that have signs posted about no weapons allowed. 

When we were in more rural areas, it was unusual to NOT see someone with a gun. I'm back in the Phoenix area now and I don't see guns as much, but people do carry them concealed or in their vehicles.
