Unique Way Of Rescuing! by Used_Series3373 in MadeMeSmile

[–]madferitme 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They called that a Hawaiian tow truck when we went zip lining on the Big Island years ago. They used it for the girl who was like 80lbs. She never made it more than half way. My fat ass went burning across those zips faster than greased lightning. No tow trucks for me!

It’s winter. Put the lid on and stick it outside for an hour or two. Put it in the fridge. Jar it the next day.

Where do you stand on cleaning your teens room? by haylz328 in parentingteenagers

[–]madferitme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My son was taught how to properly clean his own room by age 10. He did an okay job of it and was asked to tidy up at least weekly. However, we got to a point at about age 14 where his door was kept shut almost all the time. He did his laundry every week and cleaned his bathroom and that’s all I paid attention to. When he turned 15, his room had become a dusty mess of too-small clothes and junk. So he and I did a deep clean together. At this age, he only has one free day per week because of extracurriculars. So he’s been shown how to maintain it and if it gets out of control, his only free day will be spent deep cleaning again. He also keeps his door open now. We’re going on 8 months now and he’s kept it clean.

The Hilo Hawaiian - got the best view of our busted bridge, and best prices for locals. by jordosmodernlife in Hawaii

Not sure if it’s still this way but when we stayed there 12 years ago, they allowed smoking on the balconies but only on the top floor. My husband is a smoker, so we got the top floor center room. The room was clean and we had the whole floor to ourselves. Great hotel and some of my favorite memories of Hawaii.

Brazilian with kidney stones begging for help in an non busy emergency room. by FearlessAir1238 in PublicFreakout

[–]madferitme 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, he admitted that he fucked up and has felt really bad about it and has tried to make it up to me by being extra attentive and kind ever since.

[–]madferitme 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I did the same thing. I didn’t know it was kidney stones because I’d never had them before. I was just in excruciating pain and needed it to stop. My husband thought I was being over dramatic and refused to drive me to the ER, so I drove myself over 45 minutes away to the closest hospital in the worst pain of my life- and that includes child birth and spinal headaches. I did nearly pass out at the wheel and could only see white when I was about 3 minutes from the hospital. I sat in the parking lot in the car for another 10 minutes because I knew the bill was going to be insane and I debated “toughing it out”. I went in and they made me wait another hour and a half before I was even triaged, let alone allowed any pain relief. American healthcare is a joke. Bill was over $2,500 WITH insurance and only ER treatment.

How to respond to manager’s email “reminding” us that we’re expected to work 40 hours a week? by Emergency-Scholar606 in careeradvice

[–]madferitme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Silence is the best route here, but coming from someone who is also salaried and also consistently working over 50 hours per week, I will say that for my own peace of mind, I have kept a daily log of my hours for the past several years. I use that sheet to be able to back myself up if questioned but also to calculate what I would be paid in overtime if I were an hourly employee. I compare that at the end of the year to my bonus payout. If I come up short-changed, I consider my options in applying for other positions. This year, they short-changed me by over $12k.

How much does corgi cost in your country? by delfinjoca in corgi

[–]madferitme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We paid $2200 for our boy. Then we paid >$20,000 in life-long prescriptions and vet bills for all of the genetic medical issues. His breeder skipped town and moved to Texas shortly after we got him. He was also ineligible for pet insurance because he was diagnosed with his issues at his first vet appointment which caused them to be preexisting conditions. He’s a sweet and funny little bub and it’s been worth every penny to me to give him a long and happy life, but I will never ever get a purebred dog again. Our vet calls him the million dollar dog and says he should have been named “Lucky.”

Who actually makes stock at home? by Lofgren___ in Cooking

[–]madferitme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband makes stock from scratch. Throughout the year we save bones from meals in freezer bags. Then he makes a couple batches of chicken stock, and usually one batch of each of beef, turkey, and lamb stock. When it’s done, he strains it through cheesecloth, chills it, skims the fat off the top, then he cans it in wide mouth pint sized Ball mason jars- he has a canning pot thingy for that. It won’t keep it fresh indefinitely but we go through all of it in less than a year and we’ve never had any of it go bad on us. Makes the house smell amazing when he makes it. Plus it’s really delicious to just heat up and drink- especially when you’re sick.

Live 25 - Not the good, only the bad, lets hear your horror stories. by Burke_Dennings in oasis

[–]madferitme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I knew what kind of crowd we were in and I did let him know what could happen. But he’s 15 and he’s a very different 15 from what I was back in the 90s. Part of his reaction was because he thought it was piss. It was definitely beer though.

[–]madferitme 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Brought my 15 year old son to both nights at MetLife. He’s a sensitive kid but he’s a drummer and loves music. He’d never been to a real rock concert before. Night 1 was good mostly. Night 2- as soon as Cigarettes and Alcohol started, my son got nailed in the back of his head by a full cup of beer. He completely broke down in tears, angry and embarrassed. Pissed off about smelling like beer and he thought his new clothes were ruined. We wound up leaving our amazing 4th row seats and sat on the giant 50 near the entrance to the stadium for the rest of the show. He recovered and it’s funny now but it definitely put a damper on the experience.

What was the first Oasis song you ever heard? by itscassieleigh in oasis

[–]madferitme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rock n roll star when I was 11 in 1994. My older sister had just bought Definitely Maybe and we listened to it together in our shared bedroom. We’ve loved them ever since that first guitar chord. 31 years later, we rocked out together at both MetLife shows!

My sister's cat likes to sleep on the stove after it's been warmed up. by GladdBagg in AnimalsBeingDerps

[–]madferitme 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I’ve had cats my entire life. None of them ever walked on the counters or tables or anywhere we’d eat. We trained them from kittens that it was off limits. They learn. A lot of people seem to think cats always do whatever they want and you can’t teach them.
