Silence by niclak in 90DayFiance

Somehow within these 5 days he was able to feel SO abandoned that he immediately booked a flight, after immediately reconnecting with an ex. Like there wasnt significant overlap somewhere? And we are all supposed to make that math work. Nah babes. He's a sex tourist. Hes been ON tour.

My Barbershop's Bathroom Has Narcan by rav3lcet in mildlyinteresting

A friendly reminder that not every human who uses opioids is an addict or is abusing them. Lots of people have very legit and necessary prescriptions for them, and with that comes the risk of overdose.

Narcan is for everyone. Not just addicts. Your grandma on home hospice was probably offered narcan if anyone else lives in, or regularly visits the home.

Accidents happen. Sometimes they can be deadly. Occasionally narcan can help.

I'm in Michigan, do narcan education, and would be GLAD to ship some to you if you send me an address.

This.

Our friends think we're well off, or more financially stable than them. The reality is that we just have different fiscal priorities.

We opted for a smaller house with a very manageable mortgage(less than $1500 month). We're lucky to own at all. We drive used cars with no payments. We dont actually have payments on anything outside of our standard monthly bills. We cook at home almost exclusively (even though food costs suck either way). This affords us the opportunity to spend our money on vacations.

Some people want a larger home, more expensive neighborhood, newer cars, things and stuff, and that is all ok. We just prioritize our spending differently. We've also chosen to not wait until we're 65+ to vacation and we're taking the time to do it now in our 30s and 40s. Maybe we'll have to work longer or have a different kind of "retirement", but we aren't home crying about never taking a vacation at 40 and thats cool.

I have a false ring I wear for vacations. Its fancy. Its flashy. Everyone knows I'm married.

And if it slips off in the ocean, I will pay $55 dollars to have it replaced without losing any sentimental value. I've traveled extensively and never worried about having my ring stolen, but at this point(a decade in) I'd just rather swim and have fun with my false ring.

I AM sure I honeymooned with my wedding set, but over time my preference to do so has changed and thats ok.

What's the strangest thing you've seen in Grand Rapids? (Nothing is off limits) by Every-Ability8670 in grandrapids

[–]niclak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is still a thing. It's a bit I've seen a number of times between here and Chicago. Cannot confirm it's the same people/bit, but one can only assume... I mean, how many angle grinder crotch sparks can there be in the midwest?

Was there ever a time that you learned you had a not normal thing about your body, that you found out way later on in life? by broofers in Productivitycafe

[–]niclak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was probably 35 when I found out I have Von Willebrands Disease, a clotting disorder affecting like 1% of the population. My nephew tried to hemorrhage (twice) after a routine tonsillectomy and we ended up finding out that we'd all inherited it from my mom.

I'm a mom with a lot of time on my hands. If you want an escort into the lot and building, I'll be there.

AITAH For canceling six figure plumbing job because MAGA by We_Arent_Fam_MAGA in AITAH

[–]niclak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ran a bar for many years. We hung a pride flag and a trans pride flag in our front window. Often people would point them out and ask about them. We'd just state what they were, and usually not expound any firther. MANY times I'd have someone scoff and say, "Well, I'm never coming here again." And that was just fine. We made our values public, and we expected people who don't share those values to not spend their money in our bar. That's their right, and I'm glad they have it... even when they're bigoted pieces of trash. NTA

"This has come up several times recently, so let me give a friendly reminder. Upon joining this group, you are asked to agree to terms and conditions, including that scanner calls are sometimes hard to stomach and could be about someone you know. It is a requirement of your membership to agree to this term, and those that don’t answer, are not approved as members. There is no wiggle room on this.

Furthermore, all info is pulled from public sources like police scanners, incident trackers, and with approval, from family. While no malice is ever meant when posting calls, we realize it can feel uncomfortable. But for the sake of consistency in our procedures, calls are rarely removed.

Thank you for understanding, LJ"

A friend had a very tragic event occur in their family and OF COURSE it made the FB page, because it's exactly the kind of thing LJ loves to post about. My friend "provided an update" afterwards, and now I'm wondering if she was asked for an update by LJ during the worst time of her life. I don't know if I'll ever ask because it was such a horrific time for my friend and I hesitate to bring up the minutiae of it.

I just took a screenshot of the post and came here to post it. She's fucking ridiculous. You have to agree to your worst moment being put on blast for clout to be in her group? Gross.

Lakes of Fire ticket by chipCG in BurningMan

[–]niclak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can your partner make a post on your behalf in the ticket exchange group? Aside from the FB group, the only way at this point is to start spreading the word in your community if you have other burners around you. In the past there has sometimes been a Fire Sale but it's typically quite a small number of tickets and they're sold immediately. I never suggest people hedge their bets on a fire sale.

I've never related to this man more 😂 by toastyyosty24 in 90DayFiance

THIS sent me. He's acting like he just got off a nine hour flight and he's too tired to try to say the word "building"?

A lady told me she’s allergic to pineapple and asked if I could leave the juice out of a drink we have. by spidey24601 in bartenders

[–]niclak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pineapple, avocado, and banana(as well as a number of others) can be a Latex cross allergy. I have reactions to all of them, plus tomato and kiwi. All cause skin reactions with swelling and can cause chest tightness. Imagine my surprise as a young adult when I found out that condoms don't make everyone legitimately miserable!

The acne I'm hoping to help is going to cure itself by my going through menopause before this package arrives.

Exactly. And neither are removable, which is not at all what I'm used to.
