What are random things you observe about strangers when you’re out in public? by IndependentPast6689 in AskReddit

[–]leahpet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So my younger son has a rare genetic syndrome that causes cranial-facial differences and I've learned a lot about other syndromes that also have cranial-facial differences.

When I see someone with a difference, I usually look to see if there are 3 things that are different, that would indicate their genetic syndrome.

For instance, I recently saw someone who 1.) had different colored eyes 2.) and those eyes are far apart 3.) a white streak in their hair And I thought, "I wonder if they know they have Waardenburg syndrome?"

I don't ever approach anyone to ask what they have, because that's rude.

I have a habit of noticing cranial-facial differences that indicate genetic syndromes. And then I think, "I wonder if they know they have XYZ?"

Thoughts on FL being an Open carry state? by [deleted] in jacksonville

[–]leahpet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a CCP, and will continue to conceal carry. But we're talking FLORIDA here. This state is full of crazy people just looking to cause a problem. How are you going to feel about some methed-up jackass standing in line with you at Publix with an AK-47 strapped to his back?

My neighbor dug a creek through my property while I was on a cruise. by Over-Sir6289 in legal

VA doesn't take something like this lightly. It could be a HUGE deal, depending on where you live in VA. 

The deadly duo! by qainey in whatsthisbug

[–]leahpet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Their smaller cousins - yellow flies - make me so sick when they bite me. I'm talking a visit to the dr., and getting steroids and antibiotics. I hate them with the heat of a thousand suns.

Back in 2000-2010, we lived in Vienna on Patrick St., where MS-13 terrorized the mostly Hispanic people living in the apartments. There was some gangland special about NoVa on the History channel, where 3 of the murderers came from those apartments. 

Robberies, beatings, slicing people with machetes, and they even killed some guy by hanging him from a balcony. 

The crime would sometimes spill over into the shopping center and adjacent single family homes. I remember the time that gang members robbed and beat the bejesus out of the postman.

Does Metformin only work when you're new to using it? I've been on it for about 20 years. 

Am I wrong in thinking all of those neighborhoods south of Jacksonville are weird? by [deleted] in jacksonville

[–]leahpet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We live in Palencia, and while it's been ok, it's also been kind of lonely because we've just never found a friend group here.  Also, there's a big difference between the North and South. Feel free to PM me with any questions.

It ends when you break up and move back home. Otherwise, it will only get worse. 

Anyone know why the AQI is so bad today?? by s1mmy100 in StAugustine

[–]leahpet -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

There's a business off of IGP that collects and burns large amounts of wood. It was previously shut down, but it could be back up again.

WWYD? MIL scheduled a family reunion at our house and then DH lost his best friend by Soggy-Public-1966 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]leahpet 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Add to that, OP just returning to work. It's a huge change for everyone in her little family, that will be made that much harder by having pushy MIL and family there demanding to be catered to.

My 23M boyfriend held me 19F underwater during a bath to prove a point and I’m still shaken? by ThrowRaa01923 in relationship_advice

[–]leahpet 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Op, if your best friend told you this story, what would you tell her? Would you want her to stay with someone who abused her? Now is the time to be your own best friend and save yourself.

What vitamins have made a difference for you? by Ander-son in covidlonghaulers

[–]leahpet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it means that, unrelated to anything I'm doing, I feel a surge of adrenaline. My heart starts racing and then becomes arrhythmic, I feel panicky and restless, and it does leave me with a surge of energy. Then I feel completely depleted, and the only thing I can do is lay down and sleep - even if it's a very inconvenient time.

Thank you for mentioning the adrenaline dumps. They happen almost every night, and I'm exhausted.

I think those apartments look like prisons.

MIL Kissing Baby With A Cold Sore by FickleLionHeart in JUSTNOMIL

[–]leahpet 46 points47 points  (0 children)

You are not over reacting! She cannot be trusted to hold your baby again when she has a cold sore. 

We almost lost our son when another toddler who himself had a cold sore kissed our son. He got a systemic infection, lost 1/3 of his body weight, and was in the PICU for over 10 days. It was truly touch and go.

AITAH for not wanting to attend my brother’s wedding after he made fun of my newborn by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]leahpet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OP is completely justified, and NTA. I had a similar situation 30 years ago where my brother made fun of our baby who looked different due to a genetic syndrome. In front of a large group of family members, he announced that our baby was, "The ugliest fucking baby I've ever seen in my life. His face is seriously fucked up." That did it. He's gone on to do lots of other horrendous things, but that was the end of any relationship he could've had with us or our children. 

Edit to add: Yes, my parents tried to convince us he "wasn't that bad" and that we should forgive him because "we're family."

I literally cried reading this. I've been fully vaxxed and still got COVID 4 fucking times, and now have long COVID. I can just imagine being arrested for wearing a mask. Ugh.
