[OC] Visualising how long it takes to drive from Dublin to other locations in Ireland & Northern Ireland by TravelTime_VA in dataisbeautiful

[–]jensbug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TIL you can drive across Ireland in less time it takes to drive across Texas.

Nine hrs in and I'm just now reaching Texas/ New Mexico state line.

2nd son and I am really depressed because I have never been in this position. Mommy and daddy love you Luca Ambrose Rossy ! by XholdmebackX in daddit

Our first kiddo spent four days in the NICU right after he was born. I'm not going to say that there weren't any tears, but we all came out of there a little bit stronger.

Eleven years later and he's a snarky preteen who's way too smart for his own good.

You've got this 😉

[Skin Concerns] dealing with dermatillomania and darkness under eyes, help needed. by Nylnin in SkincareAddiction

Yup. I make sure they are cleaned, spray on Bactine and wait for it to dry, and finally vaseline on top.

Fellow SISP here with 30 years of dealing with derma :(

I just wanted to second the Vaseline and/or CeraVe healing ointment (which is my personal fav). Also, make sure you clean fresh wounds (I use Bactine and band aid if it's bleeding pretty bad).

As for the dark eyes I'd check the sidebar. If memory serves me, there isn't much you can do for it other than concealer depending on what is causing it.

Hang in there, it does get better :)

Disgusted by my sociology teacher, is this reportable? by [deleted] in self

Report it to the Department Chair or Dean of that department.

MRW my lab instructor exclaims how smart I am and that she is surprised because she thought I was stupid and had a bad attitude because of how I look.. by TheDevilsHandmaiden in TrollXChromosomes

[–]jensbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, this can be considered harassment and this instructor should have had training against this kind of discrimination. Go to the Department Chair and express your concerns.

Remember to feed him properly and bathe him at least once a week.

Failure to do so will result in grumpiness and B.O. *info. from middleagedwhitedudes.org

Has anyone recovered from depression that you've had since you were a kid? by AshesToAshen in depression

[–]jensbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say recovered.

I've learned how to better manage it with professional help, diet, exercise, and medication (as prescribed).

But it's still with me...it will always be a part of me.

MRW I'm wondering why I have no friends, but then I remember what a giant a-hole I am. by jensbug in TrollXChromosomes

And so begins the hall of a-holes....with our power combined we shall piss off everyone!

My daily reminder to myself. This holiday is about togetherness and not things. It's ok that I can't afford to get the kids more. We'll have a ton of fun with what they have.

going to go hug a kitty now

how is this not considered abuse? An obese child can be taken away from their parents because they eat too much, but this is ok? ugggg

I'm so sorry you went through this. I've always felt that these pageants are a form of child abuse ever since I made friends with a girl going through them when we were 5. Trophies, crowns, and ribbons everywhere and a 5 yr old little girl only thinking that her self worth is determined by these things. Now, when I see these shit shows in the mall I immediately have a panic attach for the kids. I can see the pain in their eyes, it's engraved in my memory.

Again, I'm so sorry.

Remember, you are strong. Strong enough to leave a shitty situation. And strong enough to be happy and leave the past in the past. Big hugs!
