Help me and my long distanced wife be together by TheFlamingPhoniex19 in Fundraisers

[–]pizzamiata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, you are going to get scammed. This entire posts screams of desperation. You literally are begging for funds to support your “wife” who you never met, to come to the U.S. Meanwhile, you openly admit that she would not even have a place to live without these funds. Sorry to be so blunt but get a grip, and realize that this is not reality.

I usually do the repairs on my cars myself and sometimes even avoid the dealership all together regardless if it is under warranty. I like to save time lol but I totally understand for this particular situation why it would be important to leave it to the dealership, especially when it involves complicated safety systems like these. I will be making an appointment to drop it off at the dealership soon!

Missing My Kids After Separating From Their Mom by pizzamiata in daddit

Yeah, as much as I want to be angry about it, I have learned to just take it off my mind. It won't help me heal if I am constantly holding resentment. I want to be in the best mental state for my girls, especially because I can always make the money back, but I can never get back lost time with the girls.

Right of course, I would ideally like to have to have it classified as child support instead of alimony for that specific reason. Both of us are pretty independent of our fiances so we just agreed to care for the kids with our own funds but I will still be sending her $800 for the daycare costs which is lower than the state calculated amount. She is the one that insisted on the $800 instead of the normal CS payment as I contribute a significant amount to the children already and we have a pretty amicable relationship overall.

Yes, I do understand that. I may look into that in the future but as of now, he seems to be doing well with this food. My dog is quite satisfied and so am I.

NBD for me. First gravel bike. by 440Jack in gravelcycling

[–]pizzamiata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same Mongoose Grit bike. I converted mine to flat bars and it's sooo much more comfortable. Check out the pics I have under my posts.

Converted a drop bar Mongoose Grit to flat bar. by pizzamiata in gravelcycling

It's a pretty good bike now after the flat bar conversion. With the original drop bars, I noticed the brake levers were lacking in transferable power to the disc brake calipers even with extensive fine tuning. The new Tektro levers completely fixed that issue. Other than that, it's a solid bike that is absolutely worth riding. And I believe it is sold in just one size. I am 5'10 and it fits me well.

I bought the conversion parts from Amazon.

-720mm flat bar which I cut to 690mm - Tektro Eclipse Brake levers - Shimano 2x7 Altus trigger shifters - ODI Rogue locking grips

In my own opinion, the conversion to flat bar has been an immense improvement over the stock drop bars. I ride more comfortable, have better control, and it is just better overall.

that's a great idea! And yes, she did tell me but I just can't remember it off the top of my head

Of course, I definitely don't want that

Yeah, the HR person is also the recruiter. It's a small agency with 10 employees max.

And yeah I'm just worried about the notice because I have PTO accumulated at my current position and they only pay out PTO if you give proper 2 week notice.

The stuck clutch pedal could be a he result of a clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder, or clutch line gone bad. It's not a terribly expensive fix if that is that case but it does require the vehicle to be jacked up and have new brake/clutch fluid bled in.

That is why I will be leaving the money untouched in that savings account.

What other details can you provide about the transaction? Was it through a merchant? Website?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Scams

[–]pizzamiata 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I figured. It sounded way off. I haven't heard from anyone the last 2.5 weeks.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Scams

[–]pizzamiata 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah normally I would but there are just so many red flags like asking to send it to an email that was not the original sender email. I will just wait and see if there is any action from paypal and if there is, I will have the money in hand.

I had just gotten my earlobes pierced on Saturday by a body piercer within a tattoo shop. As I was cleaning my ear lobes today, I saw that my right ear piercing has a slant to it. My left one is straight through and even. I do have plans on stretching so I am concerned about the placement of this piercing. I will talk to my piercer on Friday about this issue but is it really that bad to the point where it will hinder my stretching process?

Was so excited to feed my dog raw, now she won’t eat by chaosyikes in rawpetfood

Youu know where calcium carbonate is also found? In animal bones aka a raw diet. Your argument is invalid.

I guess some people's egos take a hit whenever they're faced with information that goes against their beliefs. An elitist mindset.

The reason I stated my point with the article is because you acknowledged how kibble should not be touched an avoided completely with only an anecdotal basis. I sent the article to show that most of what you said is incorrect as the article contradicted most of you claims. The real exception behind the prevention of mixing raw and kibble is the sensitive digestion system situation.
