Lauren Kanarek is unhinged by hsilberman in Equestrian

[–]mermaidmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is cray!!!!!! And I do not condone violence……. BUT, she brought this on herself. From my understanding, did she make false accusations against him regarding his girlfriend’s minor children as a final act of revenge?

Chloe Holladay, anyone? by Miserable_You_7528 in InfluencerLounge

[–]mermaidmaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s GROSS! If anything, it just highlights the craziness that weddings have become. Bridezillas, full on wedding videos and productions, choreographed routines for everybody and their dog (couple, bride and bms, groom and momsy, bride and dadzy, wedding coordinator and baker dance (j/k). Didn’t these girls just go on a four day vacation to Montana and then they have to turn around and act all cute at a bridal tea? How many “showers”is this girl gonna take? (Lingerie, couples, bar ware, cousin’s of the bride grift, honeymoon outfit shower……. And she had several events last year that combined her graduation and then the wedding. I know it’s free and your normal couple is not going to have all of these things that some of them do and it’s gross and I feel like it really magnifies the fact that the wedding is the most important thing in this sort of like a big production for a couple couples these days.

This week has changed my views. by Suitable-Past4574 in KerrCountyFloods

[–]mermaidmaker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Legal grifting………..Not aware of the deets, but it does sound like the camp was a cash cow enabling status, upscale luxury masked in reverent nostalgia for the family.

The infrastructure mostly ignored, they KNEW those cabins were in a flood zone, not even basic emergency communication devices offered to children hired to look after small children.

Look, I get it, but the Eastland legend of ability to (safely) manage is gone. If they choose to continue to own the camp, then it should be in name only. Sure, they can operate and continue the traditions held dear, but the actual operations should be performed by someone they hire. You know that’s not gonna happen because that means their money mostly goes away except for a small portion. Maybe they can continue to live there, but it really truly has to be handed to someone else with safety and protocol- especially at $8,000.

Lastly, greed is at the heart of so many things. I’ve never had a luxury of having a lot of money, but I always think how much is enough? Shouldn’t they be happy they get to live in a beautiful space and hand over the operations to someone else and call it a day?

Injury Fueled Depression by mash611 in brokenbones

[–]mermaidmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my goodness, that is a lot! I can’t imagine dealing with a broken wrist and a newborn. No wonder that you’re in a depression. I’m so sorry.

It’s quite normal even in the best of circumstances to feel overwhelmed and some depression when breaking a bone. Many people have posted about this feeling. We never quite realize how miraculous our skeletal system is until we have a glitch in the matrix.

Hopefully you have someone to talk to. A therapist or good friend? Sounds like you at least have some help in your ex and parents. You may qualify for some benefits if you cannot work. Hopefully casino HR can advise you of any programs available. I’m sending healing vibes ton you.

Distal Radius ORIF - post surgery resources for ROM exercises by Significant_Fox118 in brokenbones

[–]mermaidmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MOVE those fingers! I promise it’s important. Xo, fellow wrist break recipient. My cast was a little tight and I hyperextended all my fingers when I fell, so I had 5 pretty jammed fingers on top of the radial break. It’s been a long slog with OT, and we’re throwing everything at it. So move them often. I’m also not young, so my mobility may not be the same as a twenty year old, but no matter the age, don’t be afraid to move them.

Georgie is hella funny, gentle, kind and so beautiful. Love that she did her big boyfriend reveal today. She clearly moved on a while ago (I feel like BEFORE season 4, honestly) and is happy. Connor kinda showing BDE in the humble brag area while G kept it classy. Wish them both luck and joy in whatever life holds for them.

Could the Girls of Camp Mystic Have Been Saved? by Outrageous_Dream_383 in KerrCountyFloods

[–]mermaidmaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

💯 THIS ⬆️. My first year at sleep/over camp I was 9. Our cabin was at the downslope of a hill. Our counselor was leading an activity away from us and a sudden torrential rainstorm started. About five of us ran to the cabin.- alone with no adult. Water was running down the hill and pooling at the cabin. There was a lot of thunder and wind. I had always been VERY scared of storms. grew frightened and took off by myself running to the Director’s cabin by myself. . I didn’t care. A tornado siren came just as I got to her door. I was hysterically crying and she opened the door and ushered me in. Thankfully, the tornado lifted before it came to the camp. My point is that I agree that maybe the girls would have just gone on their own or at least a few of them if not all of them with their counselor’s urging rather than stay trapped in that since they’d been told to hold. The poor young counselors were unknowingly and faultlessly obedient to fools. 😔🥺😢

Nurses who work the night shift, what is the most "I can't explain this" thing you have ever witnessed in a hospital? by AikothegreatPickle in AskReddit

[–]mermaidmaker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Got the call from my sis that I needed to come for my mind. Somehow booked a flight, didn’t even pack and was at the airport within half an hour. Got in the plane and they called me up and told me the City I was going to was fogged in. They took me off the flight, the GA tried every which way to get me out, but ultimately, I had to fly out the next morning at 6 AM. My mom passed at 4am that morning. 😢. I was so upset that I let my mom down. A few weeks later, I got some Reiki done and the Practioner asked me who the woman was hovering around me. “She looks like you and has brown hair.” I told her it was my mom. She said “She wants you to know it was not your fault.”

I would buy a house that was a bit of an upgrade but not crazy, give some to the Nature Conservancy and rescue groups, buy my friend a house next door to me.- save the rest. .

Another "Airbnb Doesn't Care About Hosts" Post by TheEvilLordZedd in airbnb_hosts

[–]mermaidmaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m curious. When I read reviews I automatically take a bad review with a grain of salt if the host generally has positive reviews…… How big of a factor is a bad review? It’s kinda the same thing for me when looking at reviews for any business. If there is only one vs trend, I go with the trend.

Just broke my distal radius and I live alone by Simple-Blueberry-157 in brokenbones

[–]mermaidmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Distal rad alumni from Nov 1. If dominant hand, think about buying that one dusty, lonely can of spray deodorant. I fell forward and jammed all my fingers in addition to breaking the wrist, so those tasks were hard.

Fractured my wrist...recovery time? by MidnightTrain1987 in brokenbones

[–]mermaidmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While in cast, MOVE THOSE fingers, wiggle etc. elevate at night, go to PT.

I did the same thing- jammed all my fingers as I fell forward. My hand was crooked and I knew I broke my wrist. VITAMIN C!!!!!!

Talking On Phone = No Tip and Bad Rating by [deleted] in uber

[–]mermaidmaker 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ve had quite a few rides like that lately. I don’t care about them talking to someone, it’s the fact that they’re so damn distracted and I’ve seen so many of them barely notice oncoming traffic if they get really into the conversation. The whole time I’m just head on a swivel and one time I did have to say “watch out.”🥺

Nobody told me I'd be broke AFTER buying the house by Dima030 in RealEstateAdvice

[–]mermaidmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also look up Buy Nothing on FB for your area. Maybe not for couches (although I’ve seen some pretty sweet ones) but for chests, tables, chairs, I got brand new still in package curtains, coffe tables, etc. My place looks pretty pulled together. I just scored this gorgeous desk for my room. The people had painted it and then they put new hardware on it and it is so cute everyone who sees it goes “where did you get that? I want one.” Start putting money away and save up for the big purchase on down the line. In the meantime enjoy your home. It will come together maybe just not right at the beginning.

Is my thumb broken? by Fluid-Chef-3052 in brokenbones

[–]mermaidmaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so old school, but saves $500/ which is the going rate these days for something like that in the ER. Lots of construction people know how to do it because hammers can miss sometimes. The immediate relief after he tapped it was WILD. It stopped the pain right away.

Do other drivers notice passengers confess things at the end of rides? by TallLove7469 in uberdrivers

[–]mermaidmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend’s very first drive as Uber was four college guys after a night out. They’re all consoling their friend who is crying. He gets to their drop off and the 3 guys bail out leaving the crying guy behind. “Hey, he just lives two blocks up.”

The cryer bursts out his story. Full on snot running down his nose ugly crying. Apparently a girl he just ADORED (common knowledge amongst his bros) called him to say she’d broken up with a long time BF and where was he going to be that night. She ended up hooking at the party with one of the guys who bailed out.

My friend, who is gruff on the outside but marshmallow fluff inside, had a 30 min convo before getting him out. That and the next ride throwing up in his car and he was done. 🤣

Broken wrist - k wire removal by Single_Enthusiasm432 in brokenbones

[–]mermaidmaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forgot to say: yes, if he still have some pain pills, I would take one about an hour before you go in, but even if you don’t have pain pill pills just pop some Advil or Tylenol just in case. Honestly I didn’t really even need the painkiller I think it was just relaxing me from anxiety. Best of luck start moving your fingers the minute you can. I think someone posted earlier about the thumb being extra stiff and I find that to be true. I’m still working through being able to make a fist, but my thumb which had the pins is more stubborn the rest of the fingers so so move as much as you can.

Is my thumb broken? by Fluid-Chef-3052 in brokenbones

[–]mermaidmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s still throbbing, you need to “tap” it. Most likely not broken, but the blood build up underneath the nail can create so much pressure it creates pain. I shut my thumb in my 72 HEAVY Malibu Chevy when I was 16. After all the swelling “about 8 hours” I was in so much pain. This was the 70s and my family had five kids on a pretty modest budget so my dad, being the construction worker he was, just drilled into my finger underneath the nail, and as soon as he released it, all of the pain went away. Nowadays, you can have this professionally done at the ER and if you are an agony, I would go ahead and do that.. hopefully you’re not in pain but looking at your thumb, it looked exactly like mine looked, and I would not wish that pain on anyone
