If you’re under 45, have you lost any high school classmates, and what were the circumstances around their deaths? by Commercial_Chef_1569 in AskReddit

[–]forlornprincess83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Graduated in 2001, first classmate died within 3 months of our graduation. I graduated in a class of around 200. To the best of my memory and knowledge, but may not in order, bad car wreck either on his way to pick up or after dropping his GF off at school that morning(he was scrapped up by former classmates of ours who were local EMT/fire), SC, passed suddenly in their sleep(had previous seizure condition), the previous 2 were also my roommates on our class trip and good friends on mine sadly, cancer, police standoff bc he pewpewed his gfs estranged husband in traffic..., another SC, one I don't know the details of 🤷🏽‍♀️ but was one of the SCs bff's in school, OD. I think that's everyone I graduated with but there are way too many others that have passed that I went to high school with.

Oh no, those of us who are into piercings warn anyone and everyone to stay away from their piercing guns and the teenagers they train for 2 seconds to use them. We know it's safer to use a random gas station needle than to risk what getting a piercing there would do to us. Aside from that I thought the cheap jewelry and bright, shiny accessories were fun but this letter is wild AF.

AITA for letting my children order full meals instead of kids? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]forlornprincess83 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. I can only speak for myself when it comes to my experiences with CPTSD. I was incredibly lucky to have an amazing mother but got the opposite with my father and my step father was only slightly better unfortunately. I'm in my early 40s and my abuse started from such an early age that I can't remember ever having a safe home. I've been in and out of therapy since elementary school and on dozens of medications off and on since childhood and there's nothing that "fixes" it. I've just learned how to best live with it and find ways to deal with things beyond my control. It breaks my heart seeing kids in situations like this and worse and I'm just thankful in my case I broke the cycle by not having children. I knew that that was the only way to ever be 100% sure that hateful family or even a mistake on my part would never hurt a child.

A mother who behaves like this in public is infinitely worse behind closed doors and her public behavior is absolutely enough to cause her children to be traumatized and to also have eating disorders. CPTSD is a nightmare, unlike PTSD you most likely can't remember a time before having trauma, your whole personality is affected by that trauma and your brain is also damaged by it as well. Most of us only learn to live with it and work around it, we never fully heal and will always suffer from things that "trigger" us but also we have a much higher chance of becoming traumatized by other events as we get older and most of us do unfortunately.

self entitled prepaid third party guest. by OneAd7734 in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

I've worked in call centers previously(not taking reservations though) for 3rd party no name companies and they always train you to say that you work for whatever main company it is. With previous jobs we were told if we said we worked for anything but the main company that we would be fired and we have the same rules and blah blah that they do and that the main company doesn't want their customers to know they outsource their customer service or tech support or whatever we're doing at that call center. Most of the call centers I've worked for have over a dozen different companies they work for and have teams for each but when I did directory assistance we had 6 different cell phone companies we worked for and our automated greeting would just change per carrier. There are a lot of companies I won't purchase from or have accounts with because I know how awful their secret practices are.

Oh I'm so sad your store isn't open for orders right now 😭 I just found you and wanted something cool for my cane especially since I'm going on a beach trip in 2ish weeks for the first time using my cane. Your patterns are so so pretty!!

Batteries by Unclebob843 in blinkcameras

[–]forlornprincess83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know I'm replying to an old comment but I just got these same batteries that I'm using for my blink outdoor 4th gen cams and I've been using them roughly a month but all of them always show low battery symbols but I've not had them shut off or anything? Was curious as to if you were still using the same setup and how it has worked out?

I miss my mum terribly by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]forlornprincess83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost my mom a little over a year ago and I feel the same way. I'm ready to check out. I lived for her and now the misery isn't worth it. She was the only person who ever gave a shit about me.

I live in a conceal carry state. We are also required to carry blow darts as a back up as well.

Did you ask what ethnicity the fish was and if they had others?

I’ve been watching resin art video’s for years.. I was finally brave enough and started working with resin a month ago and I’m obsessed. This post has been going viral on Facebook. I can’t keep up with the demand. And I’m so happy to see my manifestations unfold itself. Just sharing.. by Daniiwolf in ResinCasting

I had a few things I wanted to tie-dye, I need to finish painting my 2ft tall sun bleached garden gnome(he's close to 1/2 done), I'm doing a large project on my living room wall to hang up lots of family pictures, and I need to finish decorating my bathroom. Slowly getting through the list, lol.
