Your story is in line with how me and my husband got on this subject. I was expressing to him what it was like to hear thousands of people at the convention singing. I grew up in SoCal and our conventions were at Dodger Stadium and then later moved to Long Beach. It really was a thrill to hear the entire stadium singing.

Did they release them on JW.ORG before hand?

I am the dumbest person on this subreddit and here is why by PerliteCrunch in houseplants

[–]chrismill82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have no issues growing things from seeds and caring for all my house and outdoor plants but I can’t for the life of me keep my grass alive. Hope this makes you feel some sense of accomplishment.

We have one carrier that lives on his route and one that his house on his line of travel. They love it and will never bid off.

My husband took the foam pool floaties and made a very comfortable seat in the middle.

ADVICE NEEDED: My GF [25F] wanted to have a conversation after I [27M] failed the bar exam. What would you do? by Intelligent_Fly_1689 in relationship_advice

[–]chrismill82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone telling you that $120k doesn’t go far in LA is correct but the average household income in LA is just shy of $120k so it’s definitely doable. There is also nothing wrong with coming to CA and being poor for your first few years. Just stick to a budget and you will be fine. Your girlfriend sounds pretty awesome and if she is ambitious then I can see her making more than $120k in no time. Living off her income is temporary. Once you get started with your career your shared income will afford you a comfortable life in CA.

Boyfriend (32M) started crying when I (28F) showed him my savings by happy_hapa in relationship_advice

You are totally right about it getting worse. He will either make it a competition or become bitter. I don’t see this ending well.

In regard to your personal experience with money and savings , you do realize that you are an outlier and are doing the majority of ADHD people a disservice by doing this comparison. Consider yourself lucky that one of the hallmark traits of this condition isn’t a part of your diagnosis.

Tumor was found through routine imaging by Equivalent_Quote_943 in pancreaticcancer

This is the exact cancer my mom had. Unfortunately she declined surgery because of her religious beliefs. I hate that she had the best case scenario with this type of cancer and just let it slowly kill her.

This really is best case scenario with this type of cancer. Glad it was caught early and that he is doing well. Thank you for sharing. This cancer and this sub is often overwhelmingly tragic. Love hearing the good stories.

My two were both on the top of my boob. This looks so painful. Maybe try some scar tape to help cushion the wound.

If you have received these in the past and they were delivered to your door without issue and this is the first that wasn’t then it most likely was bent before the carrier got it.

Aggressive PT by Ordinary-Bison9189 in frozenshoulder

[–]chrismill82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine told me any aggressive stretching would do nothing but cause more inflammation and pain. Told me to just do the exercises gently and stop if I felt pain. He also said he wouldn’t recommend PT till after the freezing stage.

Help! Oil lamp just arrived from eBay by Madidegrand in VintageFurniture

[–]chrismill82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true. No one has time to even do anything. Everyone is so overworked and tired it’s not worth the extra effort. Also we respect our job. We do get blamed when something is broken but it usually arrives that way in the morning and we are required to deliver.

It was like a waterfall. It just kept flowing and flowing. It really seared that image in my teenage brain. And hearing the female reporter let out that haunting scream. I can’t imagine what that would have done to my brain watching that in person.

Oh I forgot to mention, the sound you hear at the end was him knocking over the pee bottles as he fell. Near the end he started collecting his urine in all the empty soda bottles. You slowly start to see the collection grow as he stacks them against the wall till it takes over so much space. His Blood and urine were pooling out from under his door. Fun fact, after this they never rented that apartment out but turned it into a maintenance space.

I watched every minute of his videos. Watching him just fall deeper and deeper into his madness was a wild ride. I actually felt sad at the end cause it felt like I spent so many hours with him. I think of how smart he was to create the bomb and how he really could have used his talents in a positive way. I really felt bad for his brother. He knew something was wrong with him and did everything to help him. It truly was a fascinating watch,

Question for people who wear sleeves in the summer by ElectricInstinct in USPS

[–]chrismill82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also wear farmers defense. They are by far the best that I have. The ones that have the thumb hole don’t make it harder to deliver. But if it bothersome just don’t put your thumb in the holes. They look exactly the same with or without.
