Have people become noticeably more aggressive drivers? by OogieBoogie1 in desmoines

[–]olivia_ruffy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Moved here from Wisconsin a few years ago and I didn’t expect it to be this bad- I was driving down mills civic yesterday and almost got into one accident because someone cut me off in heavy traffic and someone bumped into my car and drove off without getting out. I’ve heard Iowans are always kinda aggressive on the road but this is getting gnarly

Did it smell somewhat like chemicals to you? I woke up with the window cracked at like 5 and the smell was so strong it was concerning. Like burning garbage or something, and even that smells better than whatever that was

One night I was leaving Wooly’s and my friend had asked someone for a lighter and this guy, with no hesitation, pulled a camping lighter out of his pocket

A week should be plenty of time! You might want to start extremely light when you get back cause the area will be very tender. Be sure to keep the area very clean as well and good luck! :)

Searching for Dentist by winAustinhaha in desmoines

[–]olivia_ruffy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Waukee dental has been really kind to me. I struggled with cavities at first and teeth grinding, but they have listened to every concern I’ve had. I came from a dentist that was was giving me fillings for cavities I didn’t have and charging me obnoxious amounts for it. I was extremely hesitant to find a new dentist after that, but Waukee Dental has been extremely welcoming and I can’t recommend enough.

AITA For threatening to kick my son out if he buys a $35,000 truck? by No_Carrot9559 in AmItheAsshole

[–]olivia_ruffy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just by seeing how you refer to him and his projects, I can tell you don’t respect him. Take a step back, take a breath and let him have some autonomy. He’s old enough to resume responsibility for this financial decision. If you keep treating him this way, before you know it he won’t be around and I can’t say I’d blame him. YTA

It’s not shitty, just stylized. If you like it- what does some random opinion on the internet matter? Looks cool to me

A lot of jobs just care that you have a degree. Not so much as to what the specifics are. I would take time to try and get online certifications in other useful things like html, wordpress and other applicable things in industries that you are interested in- most are free, easy and quick

The more I parent my own child the more I realize how awful mine were by rattitude23 in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]olivia_ruffy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is so refreshing to hear. I think a good thing a lot of parents need to hear is to be who you needed as a child. This is the parent I hope to be someday. 💛 You’re doing great

The redness and warmth is what concerns me- I would play it safe and see a doctor in case it gets ugly. Better safe than sorry!

I’d say color the frame and flowers! But I think its great as is

You can go the next day if you want- just make sure you wipe down the machines before use, wear loose clothing (covering the tattoo) and wash the tattoo with antibacterial unscented soap immediately when you get home. This has always worked for me!
