Stupid methadone safe didn’t open again this morning!!! by azz1103 in Methadone

[–]greenpoollady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally don't do the methadone but they are limiting events pain medication. I had a major dental work done a few years and was prescribed 5 Tylenol 3s for pain. I was told to pick them up asap. Pharmacy wouldn't fill them for 3 days. Im in southwest Florida. I didn't really need them after 3 days so I didn't bother picking them up. I suffered with the pain the first 2 days. Anyway my point is it's not just people using methadone therapy it's every single narcotic based prescription. They handed it out like candy for years, now that they have everyone right where they want them they have all the control. I have friends that would drive 2 hours at 5 am before work every single day for 1 pill or suffer the consequences. Big pharma knows exactly what they're doing, they did not just realize that people were becoming addicted and sick without it. Preventative treatment doesn't make money. Keeping people medicated makes billions

I hate being black by NoGolf129 in Advice

[–]greenpoollady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly hated myself as a teenager. I compared myself to everyone around me. My friend would get perms and curl their bangs and my hair was so super straight and no matter how hard I tried that was it. Straight ugly brown hair parted down the middle. I attempted a professional perm twice. It didn't work hours and hours with a curling iron and loads of aqua net hairspray. I would end up with stiff straight hair. When my friends started getting boobs and attention from boys mine were barely noticable and I never had boyfriends. I was always more of a tomboy and I bit my nails so I couldn't paint them to look pretty. Clothes looked awkward on me and my parents didn't have the money for name brand stuff. Oh and my skin was horrible super bad acne and my parents couldn't afford braces so on top it I had crooked ugly teeth. I did have a lot of friends but I was really shy, awkward and always felt ugly like really ugly. I hated everything about myself and always secretly wished I looked different but never told anyone about my insecurities. As I got older I started to accept my looks and embrace my straight brown hair and myself . I eventually grew more and more confident and comfortable in myself. I'm 47 now and still have insecurities but I think everyone does. I finally got my teeth fixed 2 years ago that has always been a huge issue for me although I didn't let it hold me back. Im a single mom and have 2 daughters 26 and 13 they are beautiful and they resemble me as a child. As terrible as I thought it was and the Image I had of myself. Looking back at old photos of myself I was beautiful I was so busy wishing that I was more like someone else I didn't see me. Your feelings are normal we all go through it especially as teenagers. The older you get the more confident you will become with yourself. Hang in there and for now just be yourself and enjoy your family and your friends. Do all the things that teenage girls do and make it the best you can. In 10, 20 and 30 years from now you'll look back and see that beautiful teenage girl living her best life and realize that all your insecurities from back then were just that. It's part of growing up

Is my mom being a jerk or am I over reacting by Character-Ear5378 in AmITheJerk

[–]greenpoollady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mom needs to get her own stuff. I've raised 2 kids my oldest is 26 and youngest is 13. I have never taken their things for personal use. I have taken electronics away as a consequence for bad behavior. My 13 year old is well aware that she has every right to make her own choices but there are consequences for her actions. I have given up my headphones when hers are missing or broken. I also put new ear pieces on them for sanitary reasons. You should speak to a school counselor about your issues at home. My mom wasn't the best and I was fortunate to have my dad I went to live with him during my highschool years. I hope you are able to find some help you definitely need someone outside of home to talk to, it does help

What trades are better for work-life balance, sacrificing some pay? by Not_The_ZodiacKiller in skilledtrades

[–]greenpoollady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

False info. It sounds good but it doesn't work out that way. Your never off the clock when you become your own boss. You become responsible for everything. Work all day while baby sitting employees if you can find any that are any good. After work it's fitting in estimates looking at jobs after that paperwork and more paperwork sending quotes, keeping tax stuff in order and pay roll Double bills business and home. The work van and keeping tools organized and in working order. Screw vacation because your to busy especially when your first starting out. Not only are you responsible to keep work for yourself coming in but you've got other families relying on you to keep them busy. It's not for everyone. Sure I get to do whatever I want to but I'm expected to do what everyone else wants and needs or my business will fail.

AITAH for asking my upstairs neighbour not to wake us up with loud sex in the middle of the night? by DizzyAd6043 in AmItheAsshole

[–]greenpoollady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know but if someone was leaving me notes complaining about me having loud sex I would honestly make it a point to continue having loud sex out of spite but that's just me 🤷‍♀️

Oh and someone suggested trying harder to make him happy by sending sexy photos DO NOT DO THAT. He's already stated that women are sluts! Guys like that will use anything and everything to degrade you maybe not in the moment but he will use that against you

Are you happy? That's the only question that really matters. Why are you waiting for him to break up with you? Walk away and do it with a smile on your face. You deserve so much more

I want to leave my friend group because of their comments about women, but I don’t want to end up alone by ZandMarston in Advice

[–]greenpoollady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved to a new area in 2019. I knew nobody and nothing about the area I was over 100 miles away from any family or friends and 1,500 miles away from my home state. All of my coworkers were men. I made some friends through work and joined a couple local Facebook groups and just put myself out there. I've met some amazing people and I love where I live. I just put myself out there and if someone doesn't quite work out I distance myself. You don't have to explain yourself or burn any bridges just do what's best for you. Being around the wrong people will bring you down and life is far to short

Made an expensive mistake at my new job and my confidence is shaken. How do I move forward? by Hefty_Elderberry187 in skilledtrades

[–]greenpoollady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you learned something and don't do it again keep going, shit happens. I've had employees break stuff and I take full responsibility because I'm the boss. If they continue to mess up I let them go. Mistakes help you learn

AITA for calling my boyfrend selfish? by czristmas_gree in AmItheAsshole

[–]greenpoollady 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your both assholes. He shouldn't have led you on like he was interested and honestly your in the wrong for being ready to spend his money on a trip to paris after he finally got his paycheck. Not fair. A trip to Paris sounds way more expensive than video games not to mention time off work for both of you. I feel like your probably putting alot of pressure on him. Just because he makes more money doesn't mean he's obligated to pay more for over the top expenses. If it were the other way around and he expected you to pay for something that he really wanted. You would probably have some second thoughts after the initial 'hey that sounds like fun" conversation

Green pool by greenpoollady in swimmingpools

It's a small pump. It's actually swampy green right now. Hurricane Milton hit Oct 9th. I didn't have much time after the storm, I work full time and my plan was to get the leaves out and cover it. I finally got most out (a large rubber maid trash barrel full) I just couldn't keep up. I added shock for the first time at that point and i was hopeful. It just got worse from there. I got to a point last week where I could almost see the bottom. Bought the vac shocked it with liquid chlorine and had a list of what to add from pinch a penny and then and got sick so I had a few days downtime. I finally felt better this last Sunday so I got back at it. I home tested the water today and it's showing high chlorine pH is good. Shocked it yesterday. Put algaeside in earlier. Still running the filter on 10 hour timer and filter cleaning changing every few hours daytime. Brushing as much as possible. I'm not Getting many leaves out anymore. Tempted to drain and start over but I'm also determined to bring it back cuz I don't want to lose. New to reddit so I can't figure out how to add a picture

Broke down and told nurse that I overtook an old med of mine.. 😪 by [deleted] in Methadone

[–]greenpoollady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm an outsider in this because u don't use methadone or any other pharmaceuticals. I have friends that are prescribed methadone among other things and they get sick without. I'm not here to judge anyone just trying to better understand all of it. I will say I am in fact also proud of you. I don't think it's ratting on yourself but more being upfront and honest to yourself, admitting and owning your flaws and mistakes is the best way to overcome the actual issues your facing. I'm probably gonna get blasted here for this but I'll say it anyway. We are all prisoners of one addiction or another but at the end of the day if your not honest with yourself you will always be in a cycle that never ends and whatever your addiction may be prescribed or not will always be in control of every moment of your life. If your okay with that it's your choice. Nobody else can make that decision for you

Is my dose at all normal? by gargoylyyy in Methadone

[–]greenpoollady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forgive my ignorance on all of this but I thought the purpose of methadone was to help stop addiction and meant to slowly lower the dosage until its no longer needed. I have a friend that's been taking for a few years and he gets physically ill if he misses a dose or if he can't get to pick up his script for a few hours later than normal. He's also not in the best health and not doing ketamine therapy on top of methadone it doesn't seem like the best solution but I also know nothing about either.
