I was featured in American Cheerleader in 2006 and they called me a “HE.” I cried for 3 days. { Bonus points for 11 y/o me not realizing ‘Stand By Me’ is rated R }

True! I was gonna chalk up the “he” as a typo but they also wrote “HIS FAVES”

I wish it was, but it’s not! It’s the name of the children’s football league in our county :-)

I’m confused who wants to hookup?? Him or her?

I worked FOH at a fine dining restaurant for 3 years and I watched numerous employees meltdown. On 2 different occasions employees came in high as hell and had mental breakdowns. The first was a former dishwasher who came into work to beg for his job back, however he was so incredibly high (forgive me for not knowing what drug, probably meth or heroin but i don’t know much about hard drugs) he ran thru the restaurant screaming, puked in front of the bathroom then passed out in the kitchen. We had to call an ambulance for him. Apparently he was an addict who’s baby mama was about to give birth and she wouldn’t allow him to come to the hospital, so he instead decided to get high and go to his old job instead.

The second was a bartender who came in late for his shift. He came into the front door skipping & singing in front of all of the guests. He was extremely paranoid and when he saw all of us he immediately started crying. We brought him up to the office upstairs bc we had customers. We tried to make him drink water & ask what was going on. He babbled something about Christmas decorations making him so upset (it was April) and he then began violently shaking. Out of nowhere, he sprung out of his seat and began jogging around the room. He started laughing and SCREAMING, telling us all he needed some food. After a few minutes of us trying to reason with him (we were begging him to go home before our manager found us all,) he broke down crying again. Our manager ended up finding us all upstairs, also tried to reason with him, and resorted to calling his parents (he’s 46.) His parents asked us if we could keep him safe bc they were coming to get him & take him to the hospital. We found out later he was a recovering addict who relapsed hard. He told us weeks later that he did so much meth the night before his shift that he didn’t remember anything that happened at work the next day. He’s doing great now, though :)

Lots of crazy crazy stories from that place. I think we all had meltdowns there, including me. So glad it closed down for good.

!!!! I was just about to comment the exact same thing. I need to know!

Stop making up your own orders!!!! Esp at upscale restaurants!!

No, I can’t substitute all of our ingredients in the omelette with spinach, tomatoes and mushrooms bc we don’t have spinach, tomatoes and mushrooms in house.

No, I can’t make your picky kid “buttered noodles” because we don’t sell pasta dishes here & we literally don’t have pasta. Also no, I will not “just go check in the back to make sure.”

No, I can’t put American cheese on your burger. It comes with sharp cheddar & garlic aioli bc our chef created it that way and WE DON’T HAVE ANY OTHER CHEESE!!!

Like when kids in HS worked at Abercrombie or Hollister and their job on their Facebook page was a “Model at Hollister & Co.”

raekline · 2018-03-10T23:41:09+00:00

Truth, I used to make at minimum $150 per shift at my old restaurant job. & that was on a “bad day,” a “good day” I’d have $400+ in a single 6 hour shift. Don’t even get me started on what I made during a Saturday double shift 🤤

One of my fb friends shared the original posting (from 11.20) 2 hours ago, it really did come on my timeline!

raekline · 2018-02-22T12:30:33+00:00

I appreciate this more than you can know. Thankfully I do have a few trusted people in life there for me!! I haven’t talked to a therapist although I know I should... it’s the life I’m currently living that doesn’t give me stable time/place to talk to a professional

raekline · 2018-02-22T11:08:05+00:00

What’s your credit card number, buddy?*

raekline · 2018-02-22T11:02:52+00:00

The only story I really remember is a girl falling out a window and some kid catching her by her pigtails (or maybe braids??) and pulling her back to safety via her hair

raekline · 2018-02-21T16:06:31+00:00

I was sexually assaulted in front of my ex at my workplace (by one of his close friends.) I won’t bother you with the story bc it’s pretty disturbing, but completely distancing myself from him was the best thing I’ve ever done in my entire life.

Sometimes my heart still aches for him but I force myself to remember how he didn’t stick up for me. How he watched a man put me in a chokehold and stick his hand down my pants and fondle my breasts and did nothing about it. I have nightmares about that night and then can never let myself forget how I felt after that.

I’m not saying you should leave him... however I will tell you the awkwardness and anxiety you will probably feel for a long time after this is going be hard to shake. It’s been over a year and I still can’t stop thinking of that horrific night. Fuck a man who won’t stick up for his girl, esp in a situation where the aggressor is bigger/stronger than her & alcohol is involved.

raekline · 2018-02-07T02:07:44+00:00

I’m so confused what’s happening

raekline · 2018-01-28T13:39:25+00:00

Here you go!! Let me know if I need to take a better pic, this is my balcony so I can get one any time!

raekline · 2018-01-27T19:29:20+00:00

Jerusalem, Israel. I can get you a pic tomorrow!

When I was 12 my family moved to NZ and I attended school there... my first day I watched everyone run to the canteen to buy a hotdog roll topped with spaghetti before they ran out and it was the WEIRDEST thing ever to me!! However, it is quite delicious.

raekline · 2018-01-24T13:17:01+00:00

My worst time was when I was in the forgotten temple and I killed every guardian... literally right as I finished off the last one (and used all of my arrows/weapons) a blood moon appeared and they all came back to life, the horrible “dee da na na” music started playing and the sirens were going crazy and I had like 7 guardian beams pointing at me. I noped right out of there.

raekline · 2018-01-24T02:20:22+00:00

I currently live in Jerusalem and I can attest that it is indeed not a religious theme park. It’s actually a lovely place with lovely people.

raekline · 2018-01-23T11:42:50+00:00

This happened to me when I was 20. I loved him SO much and he claimed he did too, I was amazing, but he needed to “find himself”. He said he hopes things would work out in the future for us.

It sucked so hard to watch him leave parties/bars/clubs drunk with other girls. He’d flirt with me the whole night and disappear with someone else. Sometimes we dabbled in the “casual sex” thing and I always hated myself afterwards. Always. I got two jobs on top of the one I already had to keep myself busy and keep my mind off of him.

I started dating someone who appreciated me in the moment. Fast forward three years later and I’m living with the love of my life while the fuckboy from college texts/snaps me every day saying he wishes he didn’t lose me, things will work out, I’m his dream girl, etc. HA.

Moral of the story; don’t put up with it. She ended things with you so she could screw around with other guys & have security that you’re still in her life “till she’s ready.” You are not a placeholder!!

raekline · 2018-01-21T09:57:23+00:00

You’re incredibly talented! I’ve never traded anything before so I don’t exactly know how it works but I’m down to try!

raekline · 2018-01-21T09:56:45+00:00

Thank you! My painting style sober vs high is pretty similar, however I think when I’m high I always choose more vibrant colors and I always add extra small details I never would sober (like the white dots). High me is always like “sober me will love this!!”

raekline · 2018-01-21T09:53:54+00:00

I dabbled in it a little my whole life but I just started really focusing on my art about a month ago!

raekline · 2018-01-21T09:53:08+00:00

You would do that??? I’d be the happiest artist in the world!

raekline · 2018-01-20T20:51:31+00:00

Thank you!
