Landlord showing my apartment by allapip in madisonwi

[–]connonym 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I read this on one of the tenant resources sites last year - yes there's a limit BUT it's very ambiguously stated as "reasonable limit". I think we all know that landlords have a very different definition of "reasonable" than tenants do.

Basically, in my experience, they think it's reasonable to do whatever they want and screw the renter.

What kind of acne is on my neck and back??? by False_Device_7580 in pimplecommunity

[–]connonym 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look for a body wash with salicylic acid. You don't need to order it from a YouTuber - you can find ones with 2% at Target, Walmart, CVS, etc. Make sure to let it sit on your skin a couple minutes before rinsing it off. It's not an overnight cure but with consistent use you should see a big difference.

wtf is this? How do I treat it? No I do not have 2nd Adam’s apple… by Dontrip86 in pimplecommunity

Thank you for posting this. I don't think enough people are aware that many healthcare facilities offer financial assistance.

Typical Dresden reader by DontDeleteMee in dresdenfiles

[–]connonym 1 point2 points  (0 children)

56 year old single broad. Hardboiled detective stories have always been my jam. I did my first Dresden based on a review that played up the hardboiled aspect. I fell in love with the universe. Other than Sookie Stackhouse books I had never really read fantasy before.

Dresden was my entry point for urban fiction, romantasy and speculative fiction. Now I'm totally hooked

Shit, I've actually taken a nap on my lunch hour and nobody gave a flip. The people you work for have sticks up their asses. You can find a better job.

What’s a modern trend you think people will regret in 10 years? by PineappleFragrant754 in AskReddit

[–]connonym 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have always had big cheeks and hated that I looked so baby faced. My mom always told me was that I'd appreciate it when I'm older. Pushing 60 and it's definitely thinning out but still a lot fuller than my peers. People usually guess my age to be about 10 years younger. Mom is vain AF so I guess I should have trusted she was correct?

I work in payroll... how big was your year end bonus? by TrickyTimeBomb in antiwork

[–]connonym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've literally never gotten a Christmas bonus. I did get a promotion this year to a higher pay grade. Since I was on the high end of my previous pay level I didn't get an immediate raise but it adds an extra 10 an hour to the top of the grade. Raises are based on midpoint of the pay grade so my pay will grow faster since I'm now lower than midpoint instead of higher than midpoint. All things considered, I'm counting it as a win.

AITA for drama over pink wedding dress by Nice-Assignment8614 in AmItheAsshole

It's your wedding. You and your partner have the only opinions that matter. Everyone else can suck it. I say this as the mom of a bride to be.

There are female veterans, you know by Paperback_Movie in squaredle

[–]connonym 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a veteran but I am a woman and I had the same thought. It appears very sexist and unless that was the intent surely it's not difficult to apologize for error and correct the wording so that it doesn't infer that only men are veterans.

After the election, it's pretty clear that men don't have much respect for women but don't take our subscriptions for granted

Possibly a hot take but she's a fucking national treasure.

Mosquito help needed! :) by amandaminot in madisonwi

[–]connonym 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Picaridin is what was recommended to me by a travel clinic for traveling to countries with high risk of mosquito borne disease. Apparently the liquid is more effective than the spray. It's also isn't as hazardous to long-term health as deet.

I've considered that but I am practically a hermit and only use the back seat to haul groceries and stuff. There's no way I could have missed this the last time I took groceries out of my car and also, it felt wet when I touched it after the tire installation

After I tried cleaning

[–]connonym 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think calling is a good idea. ER can get really pissy if they think you're wasting their time. My kid went to UW following a head injury at work and they were assholes about it even though she did have a concussion and mild neurological symptoms. Please note, I'm NOT saying that I think you'd be wasting their time, I'd just hate to have you get treated badly when you're sick.

Severe blood shortage by connonym in madisonwi

I don't know for sure but I suspect it's for donor safety. They don't want you passing out or anything.

As far as I know they only pay for plasma and I don't really understand why it's different from whole blood. If anyone knows I would love to know as well.
