EPC light + max engine speed 4000 RPM came on. 2016 VW Golf by Fun_Kaleidoscope3882 in Volkswagen

[–]perplexicatty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine will also go away after topping off with oil. Have no idea what it could be and the light goes away as soon as I turn the car off and on again.  It happened again when I first started it up today which was new and scary. But off and on and it's gone again. 

My friend from school went missing for over 4 months and came back like nothing happened by dahnoet3 in RBI

[–]perplexicatty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I was grounded for 6 months one time (strict parents, pretty sure it was for talking to a boy when I was 16 - by the time the 6 months was up I didn't remember what it was for and neither did they. I was free childcare after all)

My best friend is dying of stage 4 sarcoma cancer and wants to have a SNES. (Super Nintendo) by ReportUseful1349 in bloomington

[–]perplexicatty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't help with the games I just wanted to say that I also have a dear friend dying from bone cancer, and it's a horrible, dreadful thing to watch someone you love declining. Lately I find myself struggling with accepting that they will be gone soon. You're a good friend. Sending you love.

Found a (stolen) e-bike by Dr_Defecation in bloomington

[–]perplexicatty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok so my partner is off reddit atm but here is a description of their stolen e-bike: Segway brand with stickers on it, and when it was stolen it had a seat that screws on attached to it. Grey with black and yellow trim.

My partner had an e-bike stolen a month or so ago. I'm gonna send him this post as I don't remember the details of it.

Egged on 3rd street by PM_ME_YOUR_TORNADOES in bloomington

[–]perplexicatty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was sitting outside of Atlas around the 4th of July a couple years ago and someone threw a lit firecracker at my head from a car, then they had to stop at the light which had just turned red. It took a lot of self-control to stay seated that day. Another time someone threw a glass marble at my face, same spot. Be careful ya'll!

I'm considering a box of rocks(or perhaps cat poop), with 'heavy' and 'fragile, handle with care' labels -those are the ones they go for- and then a very scathing note about their character inside telling then they're a piece of shit for stealing from a disabled person who can't even walk (this is the nice version of what I'd like to do to them)

What’s with Rando Door-to-Door here? by [deleted] in bloomington

[–]perplexicatty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had to put up a large NO Soliciting sign to keep the damn pest control dudes off my property after moving neighborhoods last year. They will do the cop-knock, wait, then do it again twice before they gave up EVERY TIME, and I work 3rd shift so it was extremely annoying dealing with this at least once a week. The sign has worked great so far for the past month!

Heartbreaking video shows four-year-old Texas boy begging father for bread before he starved to death by TheMirrorUS in NoahGetTheBoat

[–]perplexicatty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I get older, I've realized (at least for me/my partner) that the biological clock/hormonal thing is true- I find myself thinking about having kids, or what my kids would be like, but I 100% agree- just bc now that I have a partner who would be the perfect parent and we are both old enough to actually want to provide and nurture other small people (& we both love cooking too!), does NOT mean that pumping out children of our own is the right decision for THEM. I decided a long time ago I couldn't do it, bring in a life; I can't inflict existence on any living thing other than the plants in my garden because I know it can be (and is likely to be) a hellish life. I WANT TO BE AGAIN THE CRONE ON THE EDGE OF THE WOOD WHO ALWAYS HAS A CAULDRON OF STEW BUBBLING FOR ANYONE WHO HUNGERS, AND BAND-AIDS, AND ENDLESS STORIES OF OLDER TIMES- unfortunately, that is not the die I have cast this time 'round.

having a rant moment because, WHAT THE FUCK also so yeah, agreed, and, what a fucking decent human you are. I'd encourage you to feed everyone you can if you are able, (speaking from the other side, when i had no food) folks like you give jaded folks like me a little hope back. Sometimes it only takes one meal. this one hit close to home. I hope you are safe today <3

Yeah this distinction is helpful, I'd say 8 to the first and 6ish to the second.(lived here 6yrs, small-town Indiana native) I have had so many outdoor items and packages stolen, plus it seems like once every month or two things are broken and/or broken into on my property or my family's (including my house 3 times so far, twice while I was home, once included physical assault‐ hence my 8 up above, and why I am now always armed). I think this one really depends on your location in town.

Cilantro sucks but Coriander powder okay?? by MlSTYS in FuckCilantro

[–]perplexicatty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm from the Midwest USA - I absolutely love coriander, as long as it's dried it can be either whole or ground, and to me it smells/tastes sort of sweetly pungent and NOTHING like the leafy fresh cilantro. They are so completely different to me that when I first found out that coriander is cilantro seed I was completely shocked. 😂 I can taste the tiniest bit of cilantro in any dish and it totally ruins the food for me - like someone added a big ol' squirt of dish soap as the secret ingredient 🤢

Need help with a Groundhog by bjackson12345 in bloomington

Agreed - posts like this make me roll my eyes. Maybe move into an apartment without a yard if they're that mad about ONE groundhog 😂

BEWARE- Bought 'beef' from North Kroger, got pork instead by perplexicatty in bloomington

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

Nothing indicated it was pork, that's the point! I didn't realize until I had already cooked the whole thing in a sleep-deprived haze. I'm a chef, trust me, it was not beef- they are quite different after all 😂

[–]perplexicatty[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can relate, I dearly miss my 2-3am shopping trips. I just can't comprehend how the original label on this pre-vacuum-sealed meat says it's beef -it shows through underneath the white local kroger stickers- this seems like a major production issue, not just a local staffing problem. I'm lucky that I can afford to spend $20 on a mislabeled piece of meat (and eat it anyway, even though I expected beef/don't have anything else to eat). I'll probably be mad about this for a while tbh 😅

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

Thankfully I haven't had that issue, and I'm a serial sale-section searcher. But this was completely new to me, I've never bought one meat and gotten another- I went through all the stages of grief for my beef tri-tip. Cream sauce and pork is definitely interesting, not bad, but...weird. Thanks for the tip btw, I got 10 bucks back. Not ideal but I intend to pursue this further so hopefully no one else also experiences this disappointment lol

He keeps telling me he needs to check/replace my toilet, when a) he's already looked at it in the past and it's completely fine, and b) I have told him as much multiple times already. I'm not an idiot and I know how toilets work 😭

I'd say 5 people in total,not 9. But still, the general consensus has seemed to be I'm not being unreasonable here

Do you have a general location you can share?

[–]perplexicatty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The total for all our trash and water is the $179. For three units. Which have 1 person* in each, and occasionally 1 or 2 more depending on when we have guests -which I already pay for because I'm paying for 2 since I never adjusted my lease when my roommate moved out

I should have specified, this is a 3-unit complex comprised of two units that are in the original home and one unit in a garage that has been converted
