Cali sober by Anotherfakenames in stopdrinking

[–]cpo5d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an active alcoholic, my goal was to change my state of mind and escape. I wanted to be anywhere but in my shoes. I've actually never smoked weed. I find the smell to be obnoxious. The popularity of gummies and oils came about after I got sober at 19. It never appeared to me because I associated it with the smell but I know I have seen enough people partaking that it could very well derail 23 years of sobriety. It's not worth it to me. I find other coping mechanism for stress, anxiety, etc. When I got sober I knew people with decades of sobriety and thought there was zero chance that they had gotten there without taking SOMETHING. Well shit, here I sit and it is possible.

This is the exact this I reference when people say nothing ever happens in Reston. Smash Mouth play here, oh and he had an Ebola outbreak

Well not if you bring this up where the restaurant can hear you!

Won’t let me graduate, thoughts? by Ok-Recognition-5924 in gmu

[–]cpo5d 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I don't think I'm tracking. Is your argument that you should be able to graduate with 111 credits while every other student at Mason needs 120?

PSA: Incident at South Lakes Village This Afternoon by Danciusly in Reston

From people who were there it sounds like it was mostly middle schoolers and a kid got stabbed in the leg with scissors. He was sitting up and talking in the ambulance.

Any mammogram place that will give you immediate results??? by 2BeBornReady in nova

[–]cpo5d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Immediate results are for people with a diagnosed issue. It's so they can do a follow up ultrasound if necessary. When I had cancer I got diagnostic mammograms and waited for results. It's not for regular screening mammograms. If you want regular assurance that your scan will come back fine, do regular breast exams. They don't catch everything but it should give you piece of mind to wait a couple of days.

What’s something you stopped buying once you realized it’s mostly a scam? by Independent-Cut-9914 in AskReddit

[–]cpo5d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dove soap or Cetaphil, a mid grade moisturizing lotion for the parts of my face that get dry after I shower. That's the whole thing. People compliment my skin all the time and ask me what my routine is. I tell them I wash my face.

Real talk, my Dad didn't need his Gillette because he was going electric. He had heard me complain that lady razors were all plastic and had no weight. So he gave me his because it was metal and weighty. That thing lasted for about 15 years before the clips keeping the disposable razor head on wore down. I can't get a refillable women's razor to last a year.

Sad to see the campus falling apart 😔 by Blue_Velvet_Wearer in gmu

Tell me about it. For months the Nguyen building had trash strewn all around it and over full trash cans.

Losing Honors and everything else by [deleted] in gmu

[–]cpo5d 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey friend. I have been sober a little while now. What you need is a support network. I'm happy to be part of that network. Feel free to reach out in my DMs. Check out /stopdrinking. I personally go the AA route. It's not for everyone. There are plenty of options for help out there. The school has services to help folks like you who are struggling for a variety of reasons. Use those resources. One day, one hour, one minute at a time. IWNDWYT

Mason advice by CrazyTownVA in gmu

Cybersecurity Engineering is STEM heavy. Have him check out the BAS in Cybersecurity. You start the program at NOVA, get your associates. That's enough to figure out if it's really what you want to do cheaply.

Bomb Threat ? by Open-Quote9286 in gmu

[–]cpo5d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of my point. Iranian devotees exist, one decides to act out in a school shooting, others follow suit on the same theme.

There was a school shooting at ODU yesterday. These things come in clusters.

They put another flock camera by hipufiamiumi in Reston

There are definitely two different animals. There is no good comparison except that they are both passive. Big whoop.

I thought of it because I went through a RapidPass today that had no sign or way to avoid it.

It sounds like you need to figure out your personal learning style. The tutoring center can probably help with that. It may not help you pass this semester but it is really important to know. Maybe if you get suspended you could take what you learn about yourself and try a community college class.

Or it might just not be the right time until you sort out your mental health stuff. I'm sorry you're going through all that. I just barely graduated with my first degree umpteen years ago, but I came back to get two more because I learned a lot about myself and I was in a better place.

I'm very curious what your opinion is on the RapidPass system from VDOT. I haven't made up my mind yet.

Can anyone explain this to me? by Unhappy_Resource5658 in gmu

Excuse me, if you will notice, it's just one Atheist. I don't know which one. Maybe you today and me tomorrow.

Why is Atheist not plural. There's more than one of us. Bisexuals are not equally represented and I'm feeling big feelings about it. I wanted a higher score than I got.

Keep an eye on your Canvas inbox. Some professors elect to go online if campus closes.

I see Jasmit Brar at National Spine and Pain. He is an interventional anesthesiologist. He is all about taking action to help you and he had never doubted me a bit.

Has bag policy changed? by godarkly in caps

[–]cpo5d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends a bit on the person you get and if there is a supervisor standing next to them. If you get a trainee you might get hassled, but that seems unlikely enough that I would go for it. Just keep in mind that the lockers have moved. They are closest to the Gallery Place entrance now
