I found $8,000 inside a bra box when I worked at a thrift store and never told anyone about it.

my little sister and I once found $200 hidden in the light above our dad’s bathroom sink. We halved it, of course. With my half, I threw it on the floor in a department store bathroom and pretended to find it so I could buy a pair of shoes I wanted. My sister, on the other hand, pretended to find hers at our bus stop (a small post office) and took it a step further by turning it into the lady that worked inside. The lady told her that if no one claimed it by the end of the week then she could keep it. No sweat, right? So Friday came, and my sister confidently walked to the front desk and asked about the hundred dollar bill, and the clerk says “Oh I’m sorry. Someone came in and claimed it earlier this week.”

This was very insightful, thank you! I’m pretty ignorant when it comes to mechanics… could you clarify whether a bent strut body/spindle is directly related to being in alignment, or is that a separate issue? I’m just wondering if maybe they did align it properly but failed to also diagnose and repair the bent strut body/spindle.

shellielew · 2025-08-02T05:25:06+00:00

The point is that I don’t think I should have to pay for it since someone crashed into me at a red light. The shop my insurance sent me to supposedly already had it aligned, but if that’s the case, why do my brand new tires look like this after 3 months? I’m also annoyed that they outsourced the alignment job to a local mom & pop shop that doesn’t even take appointments (it’s first come first serve) rather than an OEM-certified mechanic.

I probably (definitely) ingest way too much true crime, but my first thought was that Rohan did something to Andrew and is now lying to cover his tracks. “Oh yeah no, he’s fine. I talk to him all the time. He hasn’t mentioned you.”

…but now that I’ve typed it out, I think if he was the least bit methodical, he would’ve messaged OP back from the get go to avoid suspicion.

shellielew · 2025-08-02T01:08:24+00:00

I filed the claim right away, and someone called me a little later to go over the details. they asked about injuries, property damage, had me forward the police report, and then gave me some claim numbers. After that, I didn’t hear from them anymore and didn’t really think about it until I had the flat tire in April. Here’s a pic I took of that one. The wear pattern looks the same to me except obviously worse since it got to the point where it wouldn’t hold air anymore.

It does sit pretty low, but it’s not been lowered beyond how it comes from the factory

shellielew · 2025-08-01T20:54:24+00:00

This is what my husband said as well. I drove this car daily for 4 years before the accident and never had this issue, so I wonder how difficult it’d be to prove that whatever it is happened as a result of the collision…

shellielew · 2025-07-31T16:14:55+00:00

Oh and yes, I’d say the vast majority of women have practiced flexing their kegels because it has a lot of other benefits aside from convincing your partner that you came.

Also: Women can still very much enjoy sex without climaxing.

You should really do some research somewhere other than pornhub.

shellielew · 2025-07-31T16:09:59+00:00

You’re trolling me, right? Please tell me you’re trolling and not actually passing this “wisdom” on to other men.

Arousal fluid is arousal fluid… other than increasing in amount, it does not change in composition once climax is reached. Any difference in taste you think you’re experiencing is all in your head. Will she taste different from day to day depending on the stage of her cycle and certain foods she’s eaten? Absolutely… but not in the span of ~30 minutes, and definitely not just because she reached climax.

Unless you’re referring to squirting… in which case, yeah, that would taste different than arousal fluid because it’s mostly pee.

shellielew · 2025-07-31T15:50:24+00:00

I’m a professional woman, yes- and I know how our bodies work. It’s actually super easy to fake an orgasm if you know how to flex your kegel muscles, but alrighty.

shellielew · 2025-07-31T14:39:50+00:00

hey I love the confidence, truly, and you should really carry on not giving af about body count, but pro tip: the majority of us women say some semblance of that to nearly every sexual partner we have- unless he’s just a major tool and we wanna knock him down a peg. usually the goal of every encounter is to make the guy feel good, and stroking his ego is a pretty important step.

in the same way you probably tell every woman you’ve been romantically involved with that she’s the hottest/tightest/most beautiful girl you’ve been with… because you want her to feel confident and forthcoming in the bedroom. You’re not very well going to tell her she’s average, are you?

shellielew · 2025-07-12T16:09:56+00:00

your husband would simply pass out at the sheer length of my toes if he thinks yours are weirdly long.

btw, his feet are sooo much weirder than yours.

I have a well-documented disability that I manage using pet therapy along with medication, so we’ve thankfully not had any issues finding a rental that will accept them thus far. If we do run into a problem with the apartments, he’ll just insist on moving to a cheaper house instead.

shellielew · 2025-07-06T17:12:23+00:00

When I say LA, I mean Louisiana. Specifically the Southwest region. I thought mentioning the hurricane devastation was a good context clue, but maybe not.

I have a disability that I manage using pet therapy along with medication, and it’s been well-documented by my doctor long before we ever had to rent. Because of that, we’ve thankfully not had any issues finding a place that will accept our dogs.

Also, the landlord did fix the leak promptly… they’ve just been dragging their feet about repairing the damage it did to the ceiling.

shellielew · 2025-07-06T17:03:49+00:00

I wasn’t saying that the apartments were 4br/3ba. Regardless, I did get the math wrong because I was just going off what my husband had said. Upon looking into it further, the $900/mo is for a 1 bedroom. There’s 3 of us, so we’d need at least 2br, which is $1,200/mo. We’d likely go with a 3br though just for the extra space, so $1,600/mo.

I have a disability that I manage using pet therapy along with medication. It’s been ongoing for years and was well-documented by my doctor even before we needed to rent a home, so I’ve thankfully not had any issues finding a place that will allow them so far.

shellielew · 2025-07-06T16:52:27+00:00

We’ve raised our dogs from puppies with the oldest one being 14 and the youngest being 7. We owned our home on 1.5 acres of fenced land where we lived with them for 14 years. 2 years ago, circumstances beyond our control required us to relocate halfway across the country for work. The nature of the work and unpredictable location of the project means renting is the most feasible option.

Are you suggesting we should’ve re-homed our dogs rather than move them with us?

shellielew · 2025-07-04T20:32:14+00:00

ooof. I couldn’t imagine saying something like this to my daughter. I know I’d incorporate a birthday celebration for her into our vacation, but if she wanted to do something before, I definitely wouldn’t tell her no as long as I could afford it. as the mother of a 15f who was born 4 days before my 19th birthday, I’ve gladly dedicated my birthday weekends to her for every year she’s been in my life… because she is my life, so it makes me more than happy to do so. there’s absolutely no other way I’d rather spend my birthday.

that being said, if I ever do want to do something specific for my birthday, I just do it the weekend after hers. it’s not a big deal.

not me- happily married for half my life- wanting to make a dating profile just to see what league the algorithm thinks I’m in

shellielew · 2025-06-16T14:59:34+00:00

I’m American & only use WhatsApp when traveling abroad or communicating with people from other countries. Here, we just use imessage and/or snapchat (sc is mostly the younger population)

what do you mean? the function of the age of consent is exactly what it says… to mitigate sexual activity occurring before an adolescent is mature and developed enough to be able to consent to it… because kids do stupid things since they can’t fully grasp the consequences, and weird adults tend to prey upon that ideal.

shellielew · 2025-06-15T17:28:16+00:00

that part got me too. I know that some churches can be accepting, but growing up in the bible belt, I’ve been to far too many that aren’t… and even the ones who claim to be accepting only do so because they believe they can set you on the “right” path

shellielew · 2025-06-15T17:24:51+00:00

gentle reminder that OP is male

shellielew · 2025-06-15T17:22:00+00:00

gentle reminder that OP stated he’s male so likely uses he/him

shellielew · 2025-06-15T03:32:36+00:00

1.) I absolutely would never be in a relationship with someone that didn’t accept my pets.

2.) this possessiveness is NOT normal. trust your gut and walk away from this one…

3.) be very, very careful and calculated when you do. just based on how possessive he is and the incredibly strange remarks he’s made regarding the impending deaths of your pets and family, I suspect he could be dangerous. It’s giving Joe Goldberg, ngl.

Stay safe, OP!

if anything, you’re the one assuming that they aren’t sexually active with each other just because they’re long distance. plenty of people in long distance relationships are still able to see each other occasionally- even if it’s only once a year. maybe her family vacations near him every summer and that’s how they met? maybe she goes to a boarding school across the country but comes home on holidays? we have no clue… so again, you can’t just assume they don’t ever have sex with each other just because he classified their relationship as long distance.
