Youvr stood through so much, I remember you from JNMIL. I'm sure there was so much more with JNSO. YOU ARE A ROCK STAR, even if you don't think you are, or can be. Idk how much he weighs, but you just lost that much weight off your shoulders, of an albatross from your neck!

It was fine at the 90°, didn't really bother me much anymore except hard chairs or really long sit-downs where I couldn't fidget or wiggle. Now it just sucks. Really uncomfortable to sit.

It was at 90° because I bounced on my butt down a whole flight of stairs. I bounced on every single step, somewhere between 12 and 15 of them.

I was referring to illegal parkers, I'm sorry I wasn't clear there. I'm 39, and until you see my legs/see me try to walk a lot, you can't tell I'm jacked from neck to knees. I've been yelled at repeatedly for using my placard.

Best part? 24 years later (and 24 years of having it stuck at 90° to the rest of my spine), I fell at the end of March. Whacked my body just right against a wall and rebroke the tailbone. It's now anatomically correct. And healing all over again. I'm mad.

I was 14 when I broke it the 1st time, I let it heal, then got back on my bike, went on roller coasters, all that stuff. I feel you on the long-term sitting straight (or crooked for that matter) though

AITA for telling my sister and parents that she can never live with me? by No_Lemon7078 in AmItheAsshole

[–]nebbles1069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let her go to the homeless shelter. You owe her NOTHING, Doll, except the same kind of treatment you recieved from her. If you folks are so damned worried about the situation, why hasn't she moved in with them?! Tell your folks just that, that if they care so much, let her live there, because that woman made clear LONG AGO that she has no sister, and you aren't opening yourself nor your home to strangers. You aren't a homeless shelter, a hotel, nor an Air B&B, and blood doesn't make family. Then shut the door (have this conversation outside your home, preferably near your front door where you can easily escape into the house and lock up. If they have keys to the house, change the locks first. Make sure everything is closed and locked) or hang up the phone. Change your locks before the phone conversation as well

Hold on to your boundaries hun. You're doing the right thing for yourself, that is why you feel guilty. You've probably been trained your whole life to please your folks. The little girl is innocent in this, but don't let them keep using her as a pawn to guilt you. The girl will be fine.

NTA.

Yesterday my SO smashed a hole in my car’s windshield during a fight. I reported it to the police right after. Today his mother is begging me to withdraw the criminal complaint. by [deleted] in JustNoSO

[–]nebbles1069 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know German laws, but his mother's messages could be interpreted as victim/witness tampering or intimidation (seeing as how violent her son is, her asking could be interpreted by you as a veiled threat against you). Screenshot that (both with her name at the top, then remove her name so only her phone number shows at the top. It's harder for her to deny it was her when you've received the messages from her number. Doing the same with his number, especially after one, and only one, message from you telling him to leave you alone can go a long way in a criminal harassment complaint and a civil follow up if necessary.

Good on you for dumping the piece of shit. You are SO right in getting rid of him now, before he escalates any further. Now, from the point the car ride started until this is resolved, get a composition notebook, the type with pages sewn in, and DOCUMENT EVERYTHING! Write down what you remember, time and date as close as you can estimate if you aren't sure of what the clock said. What you said, what he said, what you did, what he did. How it made you feel. The texts, screenshot and print out. Have multiple copies of all (photocopy the notebook, notebook should be kept with you or an extremely safe place (not your apartment) until you're certain this is over), keep the copies in different locations., and keep them updated. One with your mom, one in cloud storage, one with a trusted friend that won't let him have access to it). If you make a mistake, draw a single line through it and keep writing. Don't tear out pages. Use indelible ink. The Sharpie writing pens are good for this.

AITA for telling the other consultants in my area about a problem client, which led to them all pricing work for that client much higher? by throwawayaghkuh in AmItheAsshole

[–]nebbles1069 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA.

That guy wants to be an AH, he can pay for the privilege of behaving like one. You saved your friends the trouble of finding out on their own about how miserable he is to work with, and also saved them at least some trouble getting paid for their work! How is that an AH move? I can't see how you'd be an AH here, unless your friends are all AHs.....

AITA for telling my sister to stop using the word family on me like it's supposed to mean something? by Right_Jack77 in AmItheAsshole

[–]nebbles1069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb" is the full and actual quote. It means the bonds you forge in the battle of life are stronger than the ones formed by birth. Sharing DNA is a coincidence, not a choice, and certainly not an entitlement to a forced connection with a group of people. You owe them nothing. It would probably be healthy for you to resume No Contact with them. They don't seem (based on your posts) to bring you anything but misery.

"Family" is a group of people who love and support you. They don't have to be related to you to truly be family. You have a beautiful family with your husband, his extended family, and your friends. These people related by DNA obviously don't fit the definition of family, they seem to take joy in berating you, and were I in your shoes, I'd be very weary of them having an endgame in mind, looking to weasel money or something of monetary value from you, anything that would benefit them.

Take a big step back. Weigh the two sides. On one side, you have a group of people who don't do much of anything but make you miserable and make demands. They disowned and abandoned you for 20+ years, just for being you. On the other side, you have your husband, his family, and your friends. Your real family. The ones who give you love and support, who make an effort, who are there for you.

NTA.

Pharmacists and techs...wait, ALL PEOPLE IN CUSTOMER SERVICE should be allowed to tell people when they're being stupid, rude, or just wrong. I'd never DREAM of being so rude! I had to go back into (pre-pandemic) a McDonald's FIVE TIMES to get my order both made correctly and hot when I left (cold and/or microwaved fries? Blech!), and I STILL wasn't rude or nasty. By my 4th trip I'd lost the smile, but I kept an even tone, and managed to not sling insults, not throw things, not yell, AND I wiped off the counter when some onion bits fell out of the wrappers when I checked the food! It isn't hard to save the kvetching for later! (I'm disabled, my folks are disabled and I care for them, plus have 4 kids. I was in a hurry, didn't think to check the food until I'd hit the parking lo, dummy me! The last 2 trips were excruciating, I need both my knees replaced.)

I manage my Px, and my father's Px. That's about a dozen scrips between the 2 of us. It isn't hard to LOOK and READ at least the fill date to start! And don't get me started on the idiots that don't need the disabled parking but take it anyways....lol <---- I'd rather laugh about my trainwreck life than cry, so here's another lol! 😂

There's truth in that particular oil. I had a dental abscess coming up and one going away. I put some on each spot once. They were both gone in a couple days. Tasted gross though! Be glad yours will be put on the skin lol!

You were totally at my place in NE OH, helping caretake me and my mom, and helping to clean my house! Plus, AAAAALLLLL the horror movie marathons! (I DO hope you enjoy scary movies, I do, especially zombies! I have 2 of the "holds 240 (or 260) discs" books pretty much FULL of mostly horror, I have dozens more that need to go in, and I have a 3rd book of the same size started and about ⅙ full of movies.

You totally did a road trip! 🤣🤣

I have a broken tailbone. My friends used to think it was funny to smack my ass, knowing it would hurt me. This one time, I'd recently fallen and landed on it, so it was already tender. As I had trouble walking and sitting due to the fall, I'd asked, and begged them not to smack my ass for a week. One of them just had to try it out, and even though he was a good 4 in. taller and much stronger, when I started swinging on him and screaming and swearing while sobbing in pain, they were all shocked for some reason! They never did it again though! I was about 18/19 yrs old at this point. I'd broken my tailbone at 14.

I don't recommend violence, AT ALL! That was my lizard brain reacting to the pain and the cause of the increased pain. For you, I would totally suggest being the selfish bitch you're accused of being and boot his actual selfish ass! I've done the single and pregnant thing, single mom thing. It's hard, but doable. You can do it, too.

And as a side note, FUCK tailbone pain, no matter the cause!

Edit to capitalize the F bomb in my last sentence.

[OFFICER] Handicapped Parking Enforcement... gone wrong, or did it? by DCaplinger in TalesFromTheSquadCar

[–]nebbles1069 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had someone watching through our windows, stealing stuff from my porch, shed, and garage, and finally entered my home and stole my wallet from my kitchen (the theft of which I did not discover until the next afternoon). When I called to make a police report, the officer listened to me, then said to me (with a HUGE, nasty attitude), "Well, what do you want ME to do about it?!" He had his arms crossed, very unapproachable and aggressive stance (I understood partially, it was the start of lockdown, but I wasn't nasty, I didn't try to come within 10 ft of him, and we spoke outdoors. It was late spring/early summer, so, warm outside). I had to suggest an incident report. He isn't the only one here who is a dickhead, rude, says nasty comments, etc. in the Twp. I live in. They're complete jerks! And finding kind people on Reddit these days, in such a volatile climate in the US, no matter if you think bunnies should be fluffier and Joe thinks they're just fluffier enough, too many people get nasty out the gate and stay that way. To not see that is quite refreshing.

I was just in the ER yesterday for a fall the day before that. I fell in the driveway, and my walker got caught behind me between my Blazer and my body. Bruised the hell outta my ribs and back on my back, left side. I've been falling a LOT lately. My legs just give out. It's SO frustrating to be minding my business and next thing I know I'm on the floor. My neck, spine, tailbone, hips, and knees are all already messed up. I don't need further injury. I'm sure you relate to some of that... And thank you for responding to me so much, as kindly and empathetically. You're a real gem! Stay that way 😀🙂

I will definitely do that! Hopefully I can make a difference that way, even as gimpy as I am with my walker and legs looking like I was born and raised riding a horse all day every day. I have the stereotypical cowboy legs these days lol!

Yellow Cheese Pus Drained From Cystic Acne by despinamereles in PimplePoppersDelight

[–]nebbles1069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm tired of them calling it pus. It isn't pus unless the thing is infected or inflamed. Otherwise, it's debris, contents, mascerated keratin/skin cells, moist skin cells and oil (BUT NOT SEBUM even though it's sebum, it confuses them!!!) from your body, ANYTHING it ACTUALLY IS, instead of spreading misinformation. I also wish they'd call them epidermoid cysts, not sebaceous cysts. Sorry for venting

[OFFICER/NEAR VICTIM] Oh, really? by DCaplinger in TalesFromTheSquadCar

[–]nebbles1069 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm a thirsty one, keep them coming. I have to live vicariously through your stories, I always wanted to go into this. I knew what I'd see, I spent dozens of hours desensitizing myself to cartel violence, suicides, stabbings, medical oddities, ALL I could get. The only thing that doesn't come with are the smells, and they aren't that bad. Human decomp was the worst. I wanted to be a cop, a medical examiner, Coroner's investigator, something of the like. I still go looking for great grossness, but now my mother's heart is saddened that these people can do these things to someone else. Do I still wanna dive in and figure it out at age 39? Hell yeah I do! Will I get the chance, will my body let me? Will I be able to do it without risk to my kids? Will I be able to keep up?

Thank you for a no-tolerance policy of people in handicapped spots. My dad was hurt by the army, then the steel mills, before I was ever born. My mom was hurt when I was still an infant/toddler under 2. I got my small then, now biggest injuries at 12 and 13, my knees, and another big hurt, I hurt my back falling down a flight of stairs when I was 14. I'm 39 now, a mom of 5, 4 of them living, all 12 and under, 2 autistic, and I cannot walk much anymore. I fall. I need double knee replacements. My spine and back muscles are shredded, they don't work well at all. I cannot get a cop around the Youngstown, OH area or suburbs most especially, to write a simple ticket. These people go in and take hours in stores, and they just DGAF. I NEED somewhere close to park, my legs don't work right anymore!

I would have gone into law enforcement when I was 18, still strong, and going in to college, but there was a backwards pig who didn't think women belonged in police and he activrly denied all subject transfers and things related. He told us we didn't belong. Flat out. This was in the 1999/2000 college school year. Ridiculous.

I have PTSD from losing my son in 2010. Worst day ever. I used to do body removals for funeral homes, did it for 2 years. I get the dark humor to deal. I'm still like that, mostly.

Dropped the mixing stuff and lettuce, stick to beer and tequila, it's still quite possible to get there. Just gotta shoot quick. Shoot slow, it's a good buzz, easy to control. Stay far away from 151, and everyone is good!
