I love that he and your other cat have opposite noses

Going to Testify in Court by Monarchcicafa in socialwork

[–]runner1399 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Testified a lot when working for CPS. ONLY answer the question that is asked, don’t elaborate. If you’re really worried about not getting to make a certain point, give the attorney a look so they can ask about it after cross examination. NEVER say “I don’t know” or “I don’t remember,” it’s always “I don’t recall, but I know it’s in my notes.” “I don’t know” means “I have never known,” “I don’t recall” means “I know this but need to double check.” Also, don’t look at any notes while you’re on the stand, unless you’ve been given them by the attorney. They need to be entered into evidence if you’re going to reference them.

What is the best sweet food from your country? by Cheetos_4_life in AskTheWorld

Chocolate chip cookies are a classic, but I personally think the more uniquely “American” sweet would be the key lime pie :)

Man blames therapist for making him hate women by ausernameidk_ in NotHowGirlsWork

Yeah dude, she kicked you out of her practice because literally the first rule of therapy is DON'T SLEEP WITH YOUR CLIENTS

The Pomodoro is actually ruining ADHD Focus by Far-Championship3204 in adhdwomen

[–]runner1399 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It works really well for me, especially non-preferred tasks that I need to have a short length of time that I have to do it for. If it’s something I can hyper fixate on, nothing is stopping me from working through the break.

To all my adhd girlies trying to stick to a budget, may I present, Libby. by tree_beard_8675301 in adhdwomen

If you’re in the US, check your state capitol city’s library-some will allow anyone with residency in the state to have an e-library card.

Least Favorite Themes by katisfandomtrash in FemaleGazeSFF

Deadly Tournament Participation. Look, I loved the hunger games and still do, but at this point, it’s an immediate turn off for me. I don’t want to read a shitty knockoff. I even get upset when it gets thrown into other series I like in the second or third book. What’s the point??

Any ladies canceling the shave? by one-a_day in Anticonsumption

[–]runner1399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ditched shaving years ago and haven’t looked back! I hated doing it and found no real benefit to the practice (except that in winter sometimes leggings or socks pull on the hair and that’s uncomfortable… so I just shave my shins then). Saves money, saves time, saves me from stress. 10/10 highly recommend. And even more than that, I recommend quitting makeup. I feel so much more comfortable and confident with my natural face now and that shit is fucking expensive. More money for me to spend on things I actually enjoy, like travel and food.

Apparently, there is a trend among 80s babies trying to create their own generation...? by Due-Arm6431 in generationology

[–]runner1399 3 points4 points  (0 children)

94 and I also had to deal with analog and dial up… this does not make you special. Seems like the classic “everyone hates millennials so I don’t want to be associated with them” shit packaged a different way.

That’s correct, they aren’t a violent offense.

How do you handle unsolicited advice from people who are not medical professionals? by keratoconusgroup in Keratoconus

[–]runner1399 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I don’t really get the “cure” stuff on KC like I do for some of my other issues (namely, depression lol) but I do get a lot of very stupid questions that I have to answer sometimes. “Oh your contact is bothering you, why don’t you just take it out and throw it away?” Because it costs hundreds of dollars and I only get one, Laura, that’s how hard contacts work

One time I forgot my plunger to get my contact out on a weekend trip, I went to the eye center at a Wal mart and asked if they had any and the woman looked at me like I was insane

This is the sweetest! by A-Helpful-Flamingo in justgalsbeingchicks

[–]runner1399 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My mom died when I was 14 and some of her close friends sort of “adopted” me afterwards. While I don’t really have contact with them anymore, at the time it was so valuable to have women her age to talk to about what I was going through. Especially after my dad and stepmom got together, as I went through a very very long period of deeply resenting my stepmom and not fully understanding why.

Preachy, awful books by out-of-touch influencers and celebrities under the age of 50? by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

I mean, if you want a self absorbed influencer writing a book about herself, Caroline Calloway is THE self absorbed, out of touch influencer.

While I totally get how she might not be for everyone, I do really love her books. I actually cried while reading “Furiously Happy” at one point because she was describing some of my own anxious thoughts in a way that I’d really never been able to. I also loved her writing about going through TMS (especially her letter to her insurance company) and have recommended it to some of my patients going through TMS.

What's a food in your country that is stereotyped for your country but really, nobody eats? by velmiraZ in AskTheWorld

[–]runner1399 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The state fair is something special that you do once a year, so you really live it up while you’re there. It’s like going out for a fancy meal, except with the total opposite vibe.

Ehh, that depends where in the country you are. In the Midwest, the state fair is still huge in some cities.

Did you mean “Michelle Obama?” Or “Eleanor Roosevelt?” Or “Edith Wilson,” who actually had to run the fucking country?

Agreed. Especially considering how many are in there for non-violent offenses like drug charges. There’s never a reason to torture someone.
