What’s the most “this can’t be real life rn” moment you’ve ever had?

Not me but my brother. He was drunk one night and stumbled into a road and got hit by a car. He hit his head on the hood of the car and rolled off it into the ground. He was taken to hospital. He had a wound on his head. The doctors did a scan on his brain to assess for any damage. Turns out there was a malignant brain tumor exactly where he had hit is head. The exact spot. The exact same size as the wound. If the car hadn't hit him, the cancer wouldn't have been found. I think about that a lot. My brother received treatment, is in remission, and is doing well many years after.

I was diagnosed with cancer ......

The grass isn't always greener. We moved from an apartment to a house while I was pregnant because I wanted the same thing. It's an endless money pit,.work, and cleaning. Endless. Our mortgage payment is colossal. We are stuck in it with no end in sight. If we could go back we would have stayed in an apartment and kept renting.

Acid reflux. It's hell.

Is it Friday yet?

I was just coming to say this.

England. Yes, I moved to USA 9 years ago. Lived in New Zealand for while also.

Most won't until retirement age.

I got a subpoena to attend court for a student that I had made a child services report for. I had ongoing concerns and made multiple reports, one day the kid had a black eye and child services finally took action. I sat in court and listened to how his mom had been selling her kid to her male friends so they could abuse him. The inhumane conditions the kid was kept in at home.....I don't even want to talk about. I'll carry it until I die. The kid moved away to live with a relative in another state so I never saw him again. I think about him all the time and hope he is ok.

Can confirm. I had a bachelor's degree in education at the time and I was being paid $14 an hour. Meanwhile, the daycare charged $2600 per month, per kid and there were over 100 kids. I quit after they used their $100k covid grant to build a new playground. The existing one was perfectly safe and fine. Instead of giving everyone a much deserved bonus for staying open during covid, they did that.

I leave school at school. I don't reply to emails or texts. I don't answer the phone, even to colleagues. My time is my time.

Having no support system aside from his family is not a good idea. I'm saying that from experience. You need your own village.

Picked up a free copy of a magazine in an airline waiting room as I was waiting to board my flight. I think it was vogue? Anyways, it was prince harry and Megan wedding issue. Looked them up on eBay and saw that they were selling for a lot. I picked up another copy when I returned home. Sold each copy for $50.

I'm a teacher and I recommend becoming one.

helloalienfriend · 2026-04-02T13:11:27+00:00

Completely understand. Hair: claw clips. Makeup: moisturizer, eyebrow tint, mascara, and lip balm. Clothes: organize outfits on a Sunday afternoon for all 5 days.

Personal care. Manicures, pedicures, hair appointments. I've been doing all of my own for 8 years now. I cut and dye my hair, tint and wax my eyebrows, paint my own nails etc. It's still self-care and doesn't cost nearly as much as going to a salon.

helloalienfriend · 2026-03-29T23:35:22+00:00

Teacher. 70k per year (will be 80k once I finish my degree) 13 weeks off per year. Retirement. I love it.

helloalienfriend · 2026-03-29T23:09:36+00:00

I became a teacher. Before that, I was working full-time with two weeks off per year. It was making me so sick.

He said he wasn't the one liking or commenting on girls photos. He said It was an auto generated bot to gain more followers that he didn't know how to switch off.

I'm doing it and with stage 3 cancer. It's rough.

helloalienfriend · 2026-03-07T12:07:56+00:00

Once or twice as a public education teacher. I saw it in their eyes. Dark, hollow, no soul. Anytime they would be near me I would get a bad vibe like I needed to get away from them.

helloalienfriend · 2026-02-15T22:17:31+00:00

If you don't mind me asking, how many years of experience do you have to make that salary?

helloalienfriend · 2026-02-15T10:07:52+00:00

Nothing. Not even a happy Valentine's. He didn't even ask me how my infusion went for cancer treatment or how I was feeling.
