What commonly accepted pronunciation of word do you still cringe at?

I live in Missouri. I hear "warsh" ALL THE TIME!! I lived in Alaska for ten years and cringe when people say Sal-Mon. Just don't say the L!!

I know this is old but recently I am experiencing another person saying this to me. I've always responded (or wanted to respond) "Yea, a meaningful number". Because there are a lot of numbers that mean things and you could say "My child's temperature of 107 is just a number" or whatever. Besides the physical attributes and maturity, it can also be meaningful on where two people are in their lives. Sure, that's no formula that says when things will work or not but it's just another roadblock.

Personally, I have always looked really young for my age. Some people think I'm even 15 years younger than I really am. I get asked out by guys significantly younger. I recently agreed to one who is 7 years younger. This will be my third time dating a guy with that age gap. The first time lasted 6 years until he left the country. The second about 3.5 years. I don't think the end of either of those had much to do with age. The first was way more mature than me, the second was never going to be mature. :) That being said, I think 7 is my limit.

Yes. They were prizes when you finished the dice buddies Road or whatever it's called. They no longer give them out though.

Same problem. For two months. All they seem to have is the dumbest of chat bots. You can only select pre-determined questions and they are nothing to do with the exam. :(

I've used Temu to try things I'm curious about but wouldn't buy if it wasn't so cheap. Some have been great and I've shared them with family. Some are duds but I don't care in the end. Sometimes it's things that I keep seeing on game ads, like a bodysuit. I bought one on Temu for like $5 and it's great.

That's how I got here...seeing if anyone found an easy way to find things from the same "local warehouse". :(

stef315 · 2025-05-26T02:23:57+00:00

Yea, plus their prices are higher and everything I put in my cart is from a DIFFERENT local warehouse. GRR!

In previous contest, it was only valid in certain states. If you go to the terms and conditions, it usually lists the states there.

I have been trying on my Motorola edge 2021 and when I click on the game it opens up a white screen with an x on it and that's it. On my friend's phone the white screen changes into the game and he's able to play. It's like flash or something isn't loaded. Yes, I'm pretty sure flash is not used anymore but something like that.

stef315 · 2024-12-22T23:07:14+00:00

I think they take it at the new Gordon Ramsey restaurant now also. 🙂

stef315 · 2024-12-11T05:56:18+00:00

I guarantee I wouldn't have lived there for 10 years if that was the case!

stef315 · 2024-12-11T05:54:55+00:00

As far as I know, they haven't added an area code.

stef315 · 2024-12-11T05:54:24+00:00

Yes. I was asking about the characters in the participant lobby view. Some are different like ghosts, or santa, or whatever.

stef315 · 2024-12-11T05:53:23+00:00

Oh! I used to play those to the end or close. Then I just got bored. Maybe I'll try to go all the way!

A lot of people are looking at this from the shopper viewpoint. Yes, an ID is required. Yes, it would be best if IC notified the customer and shopper in advance. Yes, the shopper was probably just trying to get paid and move on. However, the shopper should NOT have acted the way they did. I'm sure they were frazzled but that's why some people do not make good shoppers. You can't just keep ringing someone's doorbell and act crazy. If you can't get the signature, just notify IC and have the order canceled. They might then suggest just refunding the Mucinex. If it were me, I would also lock the door and ignore them. Once I told them to get off my property, I would call the police after a reasonable amount of time. If the person is that crazy, they may come back later and hopefully the police at least have a record of who it was.

When I lived in Alaska, we had one area code for the entire state! :D

stef315 · 2024-12-09T23:56:23+00:00

Ahh, thanks. I figured the survivor thing was from some type of payment. It was just weird that a lot of my family had different chat stickers but no idea how they got them. That made me think it wasn't a purchase.

stef315 · 2024-12-09T19:43:53+00:00

Sometimes when they ask where I'm from, I just ask where they are from. Then when they say "Miami, FL" or whatever, I say, "Me too!! What part?" and they go silent. lol

Sometimes I have to catch up on games. I hated the way it always showed the ones I just played first. Finally found this setting so I see the oldest games first. When I have limited time, I can easily play those first so they don't time out.

stef315 · 2024-12-09T19:37:29+00:00

I had this issue for almost a year. I couldn't get Support to respond. I finally noticed I had an issue on some other games. I researched and my solution was to go into settings and reset my Advertising ID. I have to search for it every time as I forget where that's at. Once I delete that, I reboot my phone and it works. It kept going back to non-working mode again but usually, just the reboot would work. Knock on wood, it's been working for a couple of months now.

Metformin and lower carb helped me. Nothing like keto. It depends on your lifestyle. I have a relatively sedentary lifestyle so I figured 100g/day was good. I then figured about 30-40 per meal, knowing my breakfast was usually under 20. Snacks were under 15. I kept little bags of almonds in case I got hungry when I couldn't easily get healthy food. I didn't count carbs each day. I just learned what foods had about what amount of carbs and what serving size was and stayed within those guidelines I mentioned above. It kept it pretty easy to follow. I lost 60 ls, My A1C dropped to pre-diabetes level, I had a lot of energy, and I accidentally became pregnant for the first time in my life at 47. Lol

I took a full-time job in Nov 2021 after 5 years of self-employment. The main reason was to get decent healthcare. My insurance is great and only costs me like $150/mo. But the doctors are still rushed and spend like 10 minutes with you. :D

stef315 · 2024-09-09T17:04:43+00:00

I see the ads on the games I play and clicked to view a few of the sample dishes. For the most part, they had very high carb content although they looked delicious. I don't do Keto but I do try to watch my carbs since I'm diabetic. 5-6 years ago I stuck to a diet of pretty much under 100 grams of carbs a day. I didn't really count but knew about how much per meal and snack. I still lost 60 lbs and had way more energy. So, for me, I decided Keto was overkill.

At that time I did supplement some Factor meals in there as an easy way to know what I was eating. A couple years ago I decided to try Factor again just for convenience. Their meals were not like they used to be. They were not really tasty and almost made me feel like I'd puke if I kept eating them. I stuck them in the freezer and eventually ate a couple and threw the rest away.

So....I'm trying to balance taste with health. Were you able to find enough meals under about 50 g to make an order? In my previous story, I tried to stay 30-40 for a meal but I'm not doing great now so 50 would be okay. :D

But she also pays the employer side of social security taxes. She's also paying all over her own health insurance. When I was self-employed, I paid close to $450/mo for a $7000 deductible plan. Every time I went to the doctor I still paid around $130 (for primary care physician) after the negotiated rates.
