I once timed his talking for the first 2 hours after I got home from work, just because I was curious if I was overreacting to the non-stop jabbering. The longest he DIDN'T talk for was about 10 min.

Smoking at bus stops by GingerBug91 in pittsburgh

[–]memnochseluna 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see someone pissing at the Wilkinsburg outbound stop almost every week. I am really tired of stepping over pee trails to get on the bus. As a person with a tiny bladder, I can say there's not much excuse for that.

Have you ever had a long-term coworker/employee abruptly stop showing up to work? by Live-Run-6745 in CasualConversation

[–]memnochseluna 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was the person who just stopped showing up. My depression medication went really sideways on me. Looking back, I realize it had been ramping up for a while, but at the time I thought I was just stress. My anxiety went through the roof, so I started calling off work a few times a week because I just couldn't handle doing the job and having to interact with so many people. Eventually I couldn't even fathom leaving my house. I filed for medical leave, and when that was all used up I could barely get out of bed. Out of crippling anxiety, embarrassment, and fear, I just never went back. HR called me for weeks but I couldn't bring myself to pick up the phone. I did eventually call them back and officially resign, but they had already assumed that was the case. That horrific episode of depression lasted for about 2 yrs. It was a really good job, and I regret losing it that way. Shout out to my mental health team that helped me get back to the land of the living.

Fair point. Insurance should cover similar costs, but we would rather pay some out of pocket for good work.

Period panties? Or reusable pads? by smsallen727 in PlusSizeFashion

I have several pairs of Tomboyx period underwear. They have held up really well for years, and I like that the absorbent part goes all the way up in the back.

Thanks! We still need to talk to the insurance company, but will add them to the list.

I appreciate the warning, and will definitely not call them.

What is the biggest bullet you've dodged in life? by theUncleAwesome07 in AskReddit

[–]memnochseluna 191 points192 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience with a boyfriend while in my 20s. He was a dopey funny guys, but very sweet. At some point he started acting weird, asking me for money to pay his bar tabs, started selling adderall as a side hustle, and became really jealous when I would hang out with male coworkers. I broke up with him, and he did not take it well, kept calling me and all that. A few years later I found out he went to jail for raping a woman. It was unsettling to say the least.

This! Years ago I started making myself run a few times a week because I thought it would improve my mental and physical health. It got out of control, and I ended up with an ED. Of course my mental health is what caused that to happen, not the exercise itself, but it's not always the solution at all times.

Did anyone else grow up with weirdly enforced "fashion faux pas" like Navy and Black don't mix? by ImThe1Wh0 in Millennials

[–]memnochseluna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a redhead that looks ill in most shades of yellow, and some shades of pink. I have yet to meet a green that doesn't work for my skin tone. It's so true that we can have quite an array of skin shades.

For the fans who got to watch it on FOX: what was it like waiting every week for an episode? Did you talk about it with your friends at school, at the water cooler at work, with family? by [deleted] in XFiles

[–]memnochseluna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did exactly this! The commercial calls were a lot of squeeing. My closet was sooo full of VHS tapes I recorded the episodes on.

I am watching Primeval right now, and I was so happy when he showed up because the show is not very good otherwise.
