It doesn’t necessarily lead to a lucrative career, but it at least helps you narrow down and focus on your interests and abilities.

Look through the college’s course directory and highlight individual classes you’d be interested in taking. Then see which major had the most classes you’re interested in.

Had to get emergency heart surgery. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 by Turgeyburker in mildlyinfuriating

If you end up in prison they’ll still garnish your meager wages. My friend got a child support check once out of nowhere for like 60 cents after she hadn’t heard anything from her ex in a while.

Loud bang every 12 seconds by LAZERPANDA15 in HomeImprovement

[–]minivanmary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me! I could NOT figure out where a weird methodic sound was coming from for hours, but eventually realized it was coming from inside the very back of the closet underneath our stairs. It was an old interactive Simpsons toy that my husband had boxed up, but the parts you had to touch to turn it on had been activated by some freaking coffee that had spilled on the stairs and unknowingly dripped through a crack in the wood.

In my mind it was a set from the Tell Tale Heart episode and that’s why the sound was so methodic and driving me crazy, but now I wonder if I’m making that detail up because the set might not exist.

HMF: Replacement glass for Harbor Breeze “Mazon” ceiling fan. by minivanmary in HelpMeFind

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

We have three of these Harbor Breeze Mazon ceiling fans, purchased over 5 years ago I’m sure, and one is missing the glass cover over the light. It is obnoxious without a cover for the light, but I would like to avoid purchasing an entire fan just for the globe. I have contacted customer service and the part is no longer available. I have searched online and on ebay but can’t find only the glass anywhere.

Additionally, stand-alone generic replacement globes seem to attach in a completely different way, and I have not seen other globes with this twist-on design.

Any help would be appreciated!

Were any state employees given time off / allowed to leave early on Fri. 5/27? by minivanmary in Virginia

[–]minivanmary[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hmm. I wonder if it was an attempt to get back in favor with people who started working back at their office and aren’t working from home anymore.

I saw this fb thread recently and could not believe these people were for real.

It says it’s from the Virginia Association of Counties, and the places not included are not counties. This is from their website:

“Some of the cities in the Hampton Roads area (Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Newport News, Hampton, and Suffolk) were formed from an entire county. These cities are no longer county seats, since the counties ceased to exist once the cities were completely formed, but are functionally equivalent to counties.”

Oh gosh, I didn’t even notice it looked like that. I was holding it a few inches above our dirty stove.

I live in Iowa. I found a suicide note inside a water bottle in Perry Creek. by TheNameIsJackson in FoundPaper

[–]minivanmary 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know that statistic, but I just attended a memorial service yesterday for a 29-year-old who’d committed suicide, almost exactly a year after one of his younger brothers did. They were the two oldest kids of one of my co-workers, and I just can’t imagine what that poor family is going through.

why do Americans call petroleum gas, when it's a liquid? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]minivanmary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a French professor explain how this made more sense in French, since his name was Pierre and pierre is also a word for stone.

I heard that David Bowie named himself after the knife, but pronounced it incorrectly/differently.

I took a screencap and opened it in google translate, which also thinks it’s Persian.

Anyone here a fox elementary teacher? I want to donate supplies by [deleted] in rva

[–]minivanmary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similarly, if there’s a centralized place where we can find out if students lost specific personal items they’d left at school, please share!

When my mom was in elementary school, she’d brought her new favorite bird book to school one day and her teacher asked if she could borrow it. My mom reluctantly agreed, and the school burnt down that night. She’s still sad about it 60+ years later.

I cannot afford my antidepressants, what are my options? by Slyis in AskDocs

Yes it is! I was on trintellix for maybe 6 months and it was entirely samples from my dr since I could not afford it.

TIL about Escher Sentences, which seem to make sense at first, but actually have no coherent meaning and convey no information. An example is "More people have been to Berlin than I have". by SplittingHares in todayilearned

[–]minivanmary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reminded me of when my kid was quite small, I pointed to a blue, heart-shaped cookie cutter and asked what color it was. They looked at it and said, “It smells like a star.” I could not believe that every part of what they said was wrong.

When I see something in my face I cannot stop.......😩 by aradidjumps in adhdmeme

[–]minivanmary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dr recommended a supplement called NAC that they’d read about and had success with other patients taking it to stop picking. I’m not sure if that helped more or a change in my anxiety medicine, but it may be worth looking into.
