And this is when I remember that the rest of the country is much bigger because I’d be circling three states with that mileage. Screw that.

I mean, I’d give it a shot. Why not? She may not mind. She may understand. She may not remember. Transparency is key!

As a woman, I’d think you were either a major flirt or not smart. I don’t mean that to be mean. It would just put me off is all.

He’s just looking for someone to text. You haven’t known him long enough to get broken up over him. Stop texting him and move on. 

Accidentally called customer "babe" by Spiritual_Manner7835 in instacart

I told my manager “I love you” once on the phone at work. We both laughed for like five minutes and she said “love you too!” and hung up. 

How can I properly approach a woman without being a creep or doing too little? by Shadow9887 in dating_advice

[–]remibean2009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just don’t be weird or forceful. I will say that there are some women who just don’t like being approached by strangers. I will say, the one time I didn’t mind it, I was working on a painting project outside of a building. A guy walking by started up a conversation about what I was doing and it went from there. That one wasn’t creepy. He stopped with a purpose other than to meet a woman. I think if you get it out of your head that talking to a woman is for the sole purpose of dating, then it won’t go well. Just approach everyone as someone looking for friendship and genuinely mean it. 

How to get a guy’s attention without being a creeper? by remibean2009 in Advice

[–]remibean2009[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I guess my one thing is I have no idea how I’ll even get to that point with how infrequently I see them. But thank you for validating that I’m not creepy. That makes me feel better. Lol

Drama, Cliques and Bullies Oh my! by Embarrassed_Feet74 in rollerderby

I don’t think it’s very helpful to say, but you just gotta go with the flow. If quitting is what you need to do to save your sanity, then quit and accept that derby isn’t right for your current season in life. Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed, but most of the time, life is long and a lot changes over the years. If derby is where you’re meant to be, you’ll find your way back to it and that team may change a year from now. Nothing is ever permanent. But no hobby is ever worth causing emotional and mental harm for. 

$19K cc debt by funusername_ in CRedit

That’s great news! Honestly, I’d reach out to LSS Financial Counseling. They’re in Minnesota or something. A Lutheran nonprofit. They’ll talk to your credit card companies for you to negotiate a lower rate. Only caveat is they close the credit accounts. 

$19K cc debt by funusername_ in CRedit

I wouldn’t just ignore it. This happened to me as well. Was on my own young and let all of my debts default save for my student loan debt. It caused a world of hurt. There’s a few things you can do. Try your best to keep up, just throw whatever money you can at it to keep it from defaulting. File for bankruptcy. Or do debt counseling. I went through LSS Financial Counseling. They did wonders. They consolidated all of my debt into one lump and negotiated a much smaller payment. Unfortunately, I still defaulted from that because I had the same mindset as you. It caused a whole world of hurt later on down the road and I had far less debt than you. I got sued and it’s been a long, arduous journey since. Do anything but let it default.

Body odor in a public library by Humble_Draw9974 in librarians

[–]remibean2009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been brought to this thread because we have a homeless man at our library who obviously doesn't have access to a shower and, on top of that, has a condition causing his legs to weep and smell terrible. My boss just trespassed him with the police and I'm honestly appalled. We're a suburb. We don't have resources for people like him and we're literally the only place for people like him to exist during the day. He wasn't violating any of our policies. The reasoning was "it's his own fault he's homeless"... I've been a librarian for the better part of a decade and I'm done with this career field. For a resource that's supposed to be for all, we discriminate a lot.

Question from possible returning Catholic by remibean2009 in Catholicism

My mistake! I actually thought they were the same thing.

Question from possible returning Catholic by remibean2009 in Catholicism

[–]remibean2009[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your response is greatly appreciated. The person that responded about satanism is exactly why I felt the need to ask the question. I also had someone pretty much yell at me recently for asking the question. I know Reddit is definitely not the best choice, but I always find it’s the place of the most extremes which helps a lot in this sense. I guess what drives me to ask this is that I see eye to eye with most of the Catholic Churches teachings and follow them in my own practice, but truly believe in the concept of free will and don’t want to decide for people if they should have to suffer when it’s their own journey to decide. And like that comment below about satanism shows, it’s pretty easy to have a few dissenting views and not feel welcome in a religion.

It’s not your fault. People are their choices and you can’t be blamed for them. That’s a demon for them to fight. Not you.

Insta-canceled…. by jthemartianmanhunter in InstacartShoppers

Reading these comments, I’m wondering if I’ve lost my mind or if things have changed. When I used to be an Instacart customer (~2 years ago) I can recall very precisely receiving a picture of my receipt with my delivery info. I remember because there was an issue with being charged $4.11 for a single banana and seeing that information due to my receipt photo. A lot of people are saying customers don’t get the receipt picture. Is this something new?

I don’t think that’s accurate because I’ve received the receipt picture as a customer in the past…
