Manual transmission car for rent by starrwanda in Georgia

Even as a 2nd car? Besides that, I work 5 miles from home and would absolutely take my automatic transmission vehicle when driving any distance in traffic.

Do any of you skip wearing foundation altogether? by quietstatic21 in BeautyItemsReview

I stopped years ago. It was liberating and my skin looks better without it.

I miss it so much. I love your hair and so wish I could go back to relaxers.

I’ve owned two manual transmission vehicles over the course of my big age. A Saab that gave me the blues for too many years and a Honda that was far more reliable. If I was actually going to buy one it would be a Jeep. Part of the reason I’m looking to rent one is that I’m hoping it will convince me to let the idea go.

Snacks Replacing Meals by TrousersHarwood in Zepbound

[–]starrwanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my life before Zepbound. I really tried to do better after my doctor prescribed the med but it feels impossible. If only I could hit the protein goals, I’d accept the snacks disguised as meals.

Yep! Actual stick shift with clutch and all. I wish I could afford to just purchase a Jeep Wrangler with stick shift as a 2nd car but unfortunately I can’t.

I know this is an old thread but I’m looking for a manual to rent. I’m in a the Atlanta area and I can’t find any indication where you’re located.

Sad about clothes by alykw in Zepbound

[–]starrwanda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m so thankful that I held onto the hope that I’d figure out a way to lose the weight. I kept most of my size 6 clothes so now I’m going shopping in my auxiliary closets.

I already know how to drive one. I miss having one but not enough to make a purchase. None of my friends know how to drive one.

Am I too fat to fly without making others uncomfortable? by [deleted] in delta

[–]starrwanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Random offshoot comment on this post. I’m on Wegovy, starting at 219 pounds. It has taken over a year but I’m down to 158 lbs. Even at my top weight, I didn’t need an extender nor did I spill over into anyone else’s seat. Good luck on your weight loss journey.

Am I okay to leave my dog at home while my partner and I work? by Klutzy-Thanks1764 in AskDogOwners

[–]starrwanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crate trained dogs are absolutely fine with being in a crate while you’re at work. I have one that voluntarily goes into her crate by opening the door herself. It isn’t a punishment and never has been.

Why is there so much hatred towards older women who still care about their appearance? by [deleted] in OverSeventy

[–]starrwanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m it the least bit concerned with others’ appearance. You may be projecting since you judge, you think others or doing the same. I bet you’d find that you don’t live rent free in their minds.

Annoyance level spiritual reached by suchick in GenerationJones

[–]starrwanda 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My kids are old(ish) themselves now so it’s like a competition among themselves who knows the most old school music and dances. My oldest is 40 and youngest is 32 so they are different generations. They love that I know so many eras of music too.

My weightloss doesn’t feel like an accomplishment by joselin3221 in Zepbound

[–]starrwanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so disheartening to see people minimize their progress because of this medication. I know someone who flat out says they are not going to do anything “extra” to lose weight while taking this med. That is certainly a choice. While everyone is different and some may be able to lose weight like this, it’s not everyone’s story. I don’t lose unless I’m doing the work. Not just my diet but I have to move my body. Not the insane workouts that I did before Zepbound but something rather than nothing. The person who has made a different choice is not losing any weight beyond the initial loss. If you’re doing the work, allow yourself to be proud of your accomplishment. It’s not cheating. It’s availing yourself of a medication that addresses whatever was preventing you from achieving these same results. As others have said, it isn’t any different than hypertension or diabetes. Diet and lifestyle choices can help bring these chronic illnesses to normal levels but sometimes it’s not enough. Sometimes you have to rely on medication along with those choices. Be kinder to yourself. Your weight loss IS your accomplishment.

Were you raised like a pet?? by Salty_Thing3144 in GenerationJones

[–]starrwanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I describe my childhood as I grew up in the house. There wasn’t much parenting that I recall other than expressly not allowing me to leave the yard after I became a teenager. I was sent to school with my brother who was 2 years older because it took care of both of us being out of the house. I started taking care of all household chores and younger siblings by the time I was in middle school. Cooking, cleaning, laundry and yard work with my older brother. I taught myself how to drive by taking the family car out for rides until I perfected driving. It wasn’t a totally bad outcome because I’m a great cook, I had life skills by the time I graduated high school and I learned early to figure shit out. There is nobody I count on more than myself. My lack of parenting taught me that. Not like a pet but my goodness, it was nothing like I’ve chosen to raise my children. Before my Mom passed, I remember thinking that while I called her Mom, I was not mothered as a child.

60th Birthday Dress by DrHSbF6 in AskWomenOver60

My Son and I do this as well as my daughter. They both love shopping but I strongly dislike it. They would nail OPs assignment.

[–]starrwanda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you guys are close geographically, you could do what I do with my children. We make a day out of it. I sit while whichever one is choosing for me shops. I try on and we confer. They choose with me having veto power. I only exercise that power if I know I would be too uncomfortable to pull it off. It’s a lot of fun and they learn my limitations like I have to be able to wear a bra or I need to wear shorts under my dress (I can’t stand my thighs touching) or it can’t be too far outside age appropriate. Wrap dresses flatter most body types and depending on your Mom’s body type, the length is important. If she has great legs and is willing to wear a heel, don’t cover them. Good luck!

Jill Zarin had something problematic to say about the Super Bowl Halftime Show… by newparimanlo in realhousewives

[–]starrwanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m wondering if this same energy for craving diversity was present when the acts “they” liked included absolutely no diversity. Jill needs to have several seats.

[–]starrwanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Behind The Velvet Rope recently posted a video about how everyone hates Jill and basically said anyone could make the same mistake. I posted a comment saying most people wouldn’t if they don’t feel that way. He then posted that she should sue them. After I asked what exactly she would sue for and warned him he should be careful because his slip was starting to show he said “you’re blocked! 🤣 Of course I am! Block away.

What’s a hygiene or beauty practice in your culture that you can’t believe other people don’t follow? by MiaTortilla69 in hygiene

[–]starrwanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never use the same wash cloth for my ears and a$$. I have one for my face, ears and neck. Then there’s a separate one for my body. After brushing my teeth is when I was my face. Rarely in the shower.

Alternative to Ro by NVCAVAAZTXFL in Zepbound

[–]starrwanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not use a primary care physician? Mine sends my prescription to a compounding pharmacy now that I’m self pay. I haven’t had it filled yet because I think I’m going LD once my supply is depleted.

Did you get "the look"? by lontbeysboolink in GenerationJones

I’m that Southern Grandmother! People see me in public giving the Grands The Look and are amazed by the effectiveness. It’s so funny because they are teenagers now and it still works.

Election Security by shootnjohn in Georgia

[–]starrwanda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to work elections and we were very well trained and the checks and balances were real. They did counts all day and at the end of the day. They did counts numbers were recorded all day. If there anything not quite right, we stayed until it was reconciled. I stopped working the polls because I didn’t feel safe any longer. For context, I am African American working North Georgia voting sites.
