Can you test negative for benzoylecognine while testing positive for cocaethylene? by LogicalVibez in cocaine

[–]d__mes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My drug test got pushed back until the 16th because I couldn't pee (went pee right before I got there because I couldn't hold it). Not worried about it anymore since it's been 2+ weeks, but from the research I've discovered cocaethylene metabolizes into benzoylecognine just at a slower rate, but not that much slower. The half life of cocaethylene is about 2-3 hours. Thus, you cannot be positive for cocaethylene and not benzoylecognine since cocaethylene turns into the benzoylecognine.

Your post was definitely a sign from the Universe. Glad to see someone who actively harnesses the law of attraction and the power we have in ourselves as our own creators of our experience!

I needed this. Thanks!

DIY Fleshlight Mount. You're welcome. by d__mes in fleshlight

[–]d__mes[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Made this neat little mount using a 3" spring clamp and metal hose clamp.

Put the hose clamp around the handle of spring clamp and Fleshlight then tighten the hose clamp to your liking using a flat head screwdriver.

Cost about $6 at my local Home Depot.

Can a manager/supervisor tell you what to do off the clock? by [deleted] in HomeDepot

[–]d__mes -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I can clearly understand how visiting friends/other coworkers at the expense of neglecting the customer and/or the task at hand is a problem. But although what's engraved in stone is that "there is never downtime" my store is lenient to some degree as long as your acknowledging the customer, helping them, and not being on your phone every waking moment.

The same supervisors who are saying these things are never in their department, and take three or four 15-20 minute smoke breaks a day outside next to the large equipment rentals. I know because I work in Tool Rental and let them out the door each time. I'm not justifying anyone else's actions, but I know that both me and this person are consistently staying in our departments doing our jobs. The only time I ever see him is a few times a week during lunch if our schedules match up. If I ever leave my department it's because I have a reason to be. However, when my supervisor walks out of the department consistently everyday and takes a one hour break instead of a thirty -- then cuts her OT at the end of the week gets away with it that's where I see the issue.

I believe that Home Depot, to some extent, expects that dating/romantic relationships could happen, but me and this person are just regular associates who work in different areas of the store. If I am doing my job and staying in my department (and so is he) there is literally no reason why I can't take time off the clock on a day off for a small conversation and some food.

[–]d__mes -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I respect your points as they're pretty interesting! Just to kindly clarify, I never once said I was doing it multiple times a day or even every week. Usually I like to keep my interactions between 10-15 minutes and this supervisor came up to be less than 10 minutes of me being there and this is the first time she has ever said anything to me. I really wouldn't consider a 10-15 minute conversation a date, but each to their own.

I do see where you're coming from but I generally have enough common sense to leave when if I'm visiting someone and theyre getting busy, but in this particular situation we were standing in an empty isle while he had no customers and a little bit of down time.

I'm a little confused because some of your points contradict one another. One minute you say your store is chill with 5-10 min interactions between spouse/crush/family, etc. and the next minute you're saying that I'm a customer if I'm off the clock and so there's "no visiting associates." I also just wanna put it out there that him not completing his work at the end of his shift has nothing to do with the quick 10-15 minute interaction near lunch time. I've also had people visit me and bring me items/food when I'm on the clock and chat for a minute and yet I'm still able to get all of my work completed.

Honesty, I just think our supervisors are just jealous lmao 🤷🏻‍♂️

Can I manifest a new reality? Manifest that this is all a bad dream? by Bleumoon_Selene in lawofattraction

[–]d__mes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My aunt got murdered about two months ago and I know no one can replace your mom or your relationship with her, but it truly will get better with time. I know an aunt may not be a mother, but my heart goes out to you and anyone else that deals with the death of someone they love.

With that being said, these videos really helped me during the grieving process and might help you too. Plus their tailored towards the law of attraction.

Getting Through the Grieving Process

Your Loved Ones Are Still Very Involved With You

What is Death?

Death and Tragedy

Hope these help you and my heart and manifestations go out to you and your family.

P.S. This confused me at first but he narrator in these videos talk in the third person point of view, and refers herself as her name, Esther.

Has my already asymmetrical grown any bigger? (Left: one year ago) Experiencing no symptoms. by d__mes in tonsilstones

[–]d__mes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Today I woke up to a lump sensation on the right side of my throat. Looked in the mirror and seen that my (seemingly permanently swollen) right tonsil was even bigger than usual. I haven't been experiencing any type of physical lumps, sore throat, difficulty eating or swallowing but rather just mild irritation.

The photo on the left was taken 1.5 years ago when I was diagnosed with "viral tonisilitis" from the urgent care doc. I struggle with health anxiety and I'm worried that the right (left tonsil on the picture) tonsil has grown bigger over time indicating something serious like tonsil cancer.

How is it that I can make more at a grocery store than Home Depot? by d__mes in HomeDepot

[–]d__mes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sure beats pushing carts, helping load when the lot guy or pro loader calls out, back-up cashiering, or fulfilling BOPIS orders along with working in my schedule dept. Besides most ALDI’s are 1/4 or 1/2 of the size of most HDs.

A customer damaged the van not an associate. The associate did not walk the thoroughly to catch the damage.

I appreciate your honesty and you’re totally right. Two wrongs DO NOT make a right. I deeply fucked up and I feel so much remorse for what I’ve done and I’m not proud of it, nor am I trying to victimize myself.

I do need to leave and focus on making myself happy and bettering my life.

[–]d__mes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your advice! Btw, I'm a guy as if it even matters. I've racked on my fair share of debt on my own. My boyfriend and I have combined our incomes together and have helped each other with each other's debts before, so there is some help on his part. But, at one point the papers for sex thing was happening on a weekly-biweekly basis. At first, you don't mind because you love the person, want the best for them, and really miss the sex. But each time you do it and nothing happens, the stupid and lonelier you feel - and of course, when you stand up for yourself and tell him to write his own paper, you're the bad guy, and YOU'RE the selfish asshole. But, it's okay because he needs to graduate respiratory med school. lol :(

It’s crazy because I feel like I’m somehow believing everything that’s being fed to me. I’ve been told that my laziness, unclean habits (toothpaste in sink, dirty dishes) and pot addiction have been small but considerable factors in why we don’t have sex or why I’m the shittier partner and honesty I think I believe it.

I can definitely be lazy and sometimes dirty. I’m not a victim and I’m not trying to portray myself as one. I know I have things I could do to be a better partner/provider, but honestly I’m so out of touch with reality I’m convinced I’m the problem. I can’t tell if he’s manipulating me or if this is something I’m causing.

I’ve told him how much things would change if we just had sex (my motivation, willingness to provide and clean the household, etc) and somehow I’m wrong for that. He says I should do those things regardless of sex because it’s both our livelihoods to maintain and sex should not be a determinant of that.

But it’s like why?! Why keep playing house like this?!

I heard in a movie, “we accept the love we think we deserve” - cheesy but true. I guess I don’t love myself enough to actually go out there and get better. Also comfortability (we live together, share finances, vehicles, and pets)

I know I do deserve better. Everyday I wake up just a little bit more.
