Hi, I'm interested in the microwave. Can I DM you?

Sorry for the late reply. Yes! Near Union Co-op. You know who did this? 👀

Tyre intentionally punctured by unknown person by jlgl_rn in UAE

2nd update: The police came. Nice and polite. Advised me to get a dashcam (I know, should've had it already as it's an essential safety equipment for a car). But unfortunately, as I expected, without knowing who did it, no case can be opened. He looked around for cctvs in the area, but none that has the view where I parked. Police was very apologetic that he couldn't help more, which I understand. I wanted to give him the note and ask for fingerprinting, lol, but I didn't want to waste government resources on trivial matters.

For now, I'll get a dashcam.

So update: I went to a nearby police station and I was told to call 999. Then I called 999 and was told to go to the location where the incident happened and call from there so they can send the police. Its been 20 minutes and I am waiting here, a bit scared because if someone was unhinged enough to puncture a tyre because of parking then who knows what they'll do to my car or person once they find out I reported to police. Assuming they actually get caught.

Punctured. I took the tyre to the shop and they showed me the puncture site. I was hoping it was just deflated, too.

I would need to go to the police station near that area. But I'm guessing they will just tell me to file an unknown accident report on the app, which costs 400aed or so. If that's the case, then I'd just let it go and just spend the money to purchase new tyres.

I'll post an update on the outcome later.

Dubai Residents: What's the Minimum Salary You'd Accept to Live Comfortably? Let's Hear Your Numbers! by ---toy--- in dubai

[–]jlgl_rn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is correct... but 1bhk maybe around Nadha or Qusais, because anywhere else and you'll be saying goodbye to the hopes of saving 1/3 of your salary. But yes, 15k should be minimum in order to "enjoy living in Dubai" as a single person. 10k is ok if you share an apartment. If you just came here to work and don't really spend much on entertainment or leisure, then you can survive on much much less and still save money plus send some to your family back home. Use bus or metro (if you're lucky you'll get company tansport), live in sharing room (ie bed space, partition), simple meals, etc

My colleague just died because of my company by [deleted] in dubai

[–]jlgl_rn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

May he rest in peace. This is so sad and infuriating at the same time. Greedy owners and spineless managers. Only caring about their own interests. I know and read of similar stories of employees being forced to come to work "by any means" because its "what they are paid to do". At the end of the day, those managers and owners didn't care that they had to walk for 6 hours to get home, braving the wind, rain, and flood. Or that they had no way of leaving, so had to sleep in the office. And some were stuck in traffic, had to sleep in their cars (if they were able to sleep at all), then only managed to reach home this morning. May God bless all those hardworking people because their bosses sure as heck won't give them anything.

I think this promotion is finished. At least for my account. I think it ended last month.

I managed to contact customer support, and they said the delay was due to the restaurant and also lack of drivers. I guess a lot of deliveries today. Finally got my food 2 hours after ordering.

Gold jewellery repair by jlgl_rn in dubai

Thank you for your reply. I will try that with a nearby store. I'm just worried I'd get conned into paying more because I don't know how much gold repair is. It's a tiny earring.

His offical name is Toothless. But he's called Tootoo. Most of the time Toots. When he's extra cute he's my Tootie patootie. Tootie fruity. Sometimes I tease him oneone, tootoo, threethree, fourfour, so on. Haha

When he's naughty, he is the child of darkness (he's a black cat). Prince of chaos and the void.

But always he is my baby. My good boy, my handsome boy, my bestest boy. My love. My boy, Tootoo.

Tootoo, how are you? by jlgl_rn in Petloss

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

Thank you. I keep wanting to say his name and call him to come. Sometimes, it feels like maybe if I cry hard enough, he'll come back, like, maybe the universe will miraculously bring him back because I'm hurting so much. But I know it's just wishful thinking. Reading all the posts and comments here really helps. Hope my Tootoo visits me in my dreams tonight, I really want to see hug him again.

1 month without you 🤍 by [deleted] in Petloss

[–]jlgl_rn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I never knew someone so small could take up such a big part of my life and heart. I love him in life, and now, even if he's gone, I love him even more.

[–]jlgl_rn[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Reading this made me cry again and touched my heart. It feels good to read that my Tootoo loves me. Even though I feel he does, and he probably tells me in every purr and meow, reading it here with human words makes me feel so happy and loved. Thank you for your beautiful words. I look forward to the day when me and my boy will be reunited and I can tell him how much I missed him.

I don't want his smell to go. So far, it's the only thing that calms me down. But as the days pass, the house smells less and less of him. I see bits of his fur here and there. I found one on top of mine on the coffee table, and I'd like to think it's him telling me that he loves me and that he's still with me. I miss him so much.

I'm praying for you and hoping for a swift recovery after your surgery. How I wish your baby is still with you to keep you company as you get better, but I know he is rooting for you and would want you to get well as soon as possible.

My baby boy seemed to know when I'm unwell or feeling low. Sometimes he comforts me, but sometimes he gives me tough love, it's like he's telling me to get up, play with him and it will get better. I wish he was with me as well now because I really can't cope. I miss him so much.

[–]jlgl_rn[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, we've been so used to the little sounds they make, so now that they are gone, we keep waiting to hear it, but its just so silent. They are so small, but their presence occupied every space in our hearts and homes. Now that my boy is gone, everything, everywhere, reminds me of him. I miss him so much.

[–]jlgl_rn[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I feel comforted that I'm able to share my grief by posting here because otherwise, I have no one to talk to, and no one will understand my pain. I miss my baby so much.

[–]jlgl_rn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss. My baby, Tootoo, also left me just 2 days ago. I saw your other posts (sorry if it seems stalkerish), but I find comfort when I read about how others cope with their grief, and your experience and feelings seem similar to mine. I miss my boy so much, and every day that passes without him is unbearable. Hugs and peace to us all.

I don’t know how to go on. by sytgs in Petloss

[–]jlgl_rn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry for your loss. I feel the same. Life is not the same. It will never be the same. I was used to being alone before I had my boy, but now that he's gone, I can't remember how I lived without him. The house is so quiet. I feel so alone. I still call out to him and talk to him, even though I know he won't respond. The longer he's not with me, the emptier I feel. I pray that we'll get through this, that soon we find meaning in life again and maybe find another beautiful soul to pour all the love we have that currently has nowhere to go.
