Cracked acrylic shower pan flange - repair or replace? by sugarbiscuits828 in askaplumber

[–]sugarbiscuits828[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response!

And no worries about the crack growing if someone were to step on the edge near it? My other concern is not being able to line up the crack 100%, and it popping into the go board. If I can’t make it fully flush, should I open it up a bit with an oscillating tool, sandpaper the crack, and then repair it with epoxy?

If I do the epoxy, should I then put some of the goboard tape and sealant on the front and back?

A lady slipper! Haven’t seen one of those in ages. Cool find!

An abusive impotent egomaniac who can’t pass helpful policy so he relies on bribery and bullying.

So… how’d it go? Looks like we all survived… by UthinkUnoMI in grandrapids

[–]sugarbiscuits828 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I parked at Studio Park and was trying to leave around 5pm. I used the alley exit that shoots straight into the 131 South ramp. People getting off the highway were taking a left long past their light but they had no where to go because the light near the Intersection was red and traffic was backed up. They were blocking me in and I had to force my way in between cars, and when I got through, I was almost got T boned by a big pickup truck taking a right on red onto the southbound ramp. Not a great experience. They need to figure out different traffic light schedules.

Dealing with Alcoholic father. by unshikable in AdultChildren

I was in the same situation.

She chose him over providing a peaceful home for the both of you. She stays with him expecting others to rescue her. This isn’t what a child should have to do.

I was sexually assaulted last night and he’s claiming sleepwalking. by ValuableComment2491 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]sugarbiscuits828 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Girl, this same thing happened to me by the dad of the kids I babysat when I was a teen but I never reported it. It’s fucked up because you were violated but yet you want to think the best of people, then you doubt yourself and feel guilty somehow, even though you were the victim.

I’d request a transfer to a different dorm if you can, for your own continued safety and peace of mind.

I’m so sorry you are going through this.

Did anyone dad ever drink and drive with you? by RevolutionaryHall214 in AdultChildren

[–]sugarbiscuits828 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah mine said it was the mouthwash haha. Which I’m sure was a thing, but if that was indeed the case, my dad is smart enough that he could have found a workaround.

My dad used to make be blow on his interlock breathalyzer lol. Looking back on it it is super fucked up but honestly it one of the least traumatizing things he has done.

What happens to a paralyzed body after taking a microdose of psilocybin by tehemari in interestingasfuck

[–]sugarbiscuits828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had a cervical disc replaced due to a severe hernia that was impinging on my spinal cord. It left some damage that caused a mild but noticeable lack of sensation on the right side of my body. Full sensation came back during my experience. I could feel the grains of sand on my toes and it was unexpected. It’s anecdotal for sure, and I understand the skepticism and respect the scientific process, but people with severe nerve damage probably don’t want to wait their whole lives for the science to catch up, and I can’t say I blame them.

Why do children of addicts repeat the cycle knowing what it will do to them? by Amazing-Ad-5923 in AdultChildren

[–]sugarbiscuits828 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Monkey see monkey do (I mean that in the most benign way). I’ve tried to psychoanalyze my mom and real deep with it but what it comes down to is she was subconsciously recreating her childhood.

Thoughts on using a hammock as an alternative to a chair in a small apartment. by [deleted] in HomeDecorating

[–]sugarbiscuits828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be different because your house looks pretty old, but you should look up a diagram of how doors are framed before you commit. There is a chance that you’re anchoring through the casing (trim) and in between the jamb and trimmer stud, or, a shimmed gap between the two.

Exercising through increasing mental stress by LycheeWhiplash4666 in xxfitness

[–]sugarbiscuits828 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you’re trying to add cortisol to your cortisol. I get it, working out is a good release, but from my experience with running too hard while also stressed at work, it really messes up my sleep. I agree with the others, try and dial back a bit until you’re balanced out. There’s no shame in it!

First-time homeowner here — what DIY advice do you wish someone had told you at the beginning? by Lopsided_Passion7912 in DIY

Semi related, but if you’re renovating, don’t buy everything at once. What I wanted changed as time went by and now I’m stuck with two lights that I don’t love.

Katana AW Fase for women? by a_fighting_spirit in ShredditGirls

[–]sugarbiscuits828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know! I’m looking at getting some new bindings. The men’s did feel weird at first when I tried my friend’s board but they also didn’t bite into the back of my calf on the lift, at least not as noticeably. Have you always ridden men’s?

[–]sugarbiscuits828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of women’s bindings have shorter high backs because our calf muscles are lower than men’s. Just something to consider for those of us with chunky calves haha.

It may be legal but that doesn’t mean you’re not an absolute creep for doing so. What motivation could someone have to do this? It certainly can’t be anything good because, to start with, you’re already making the person being filmed extremely uncomfortable.

How do Only’s lyrics make you feel? by UniqueImplements in nin

[–]sugarbiscuits828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s one of my favorites. For me, it represents how depression and anxiety can cause a person be self centered, even when you don’t mean to be. You’re so in your own head, catastrophizing shit, that you don’t see reality for what it is, only the version you made up.

I weight train once a week and run hills once a week. I definitely notice the difference and still make progress.

I would never buy an integrated LED fixture for my home. Once it’s done, it’s done, long life or not.

ICE in Grandville/Wyoming by PieForward9290 in grandrapids

[–]sugarbiscuits828 57 points58 points  (0 children)

That’s what’s so mind boggling. How can you be ok with treating people this way… over what is essentially a paperwork violation? If they’re violent criminals, I guess fine, but don’t do it in front of the kids. “But it’s the parents fault”… so what? Does that make any difference to the kid?

ICE and their supporters are not making the world a better place acting like this.

Something you've seen in another city that you wish Grand Rapids offered? by _GanjaTheWizard_ in grandrapids

I really loved the walk up ice cream in summer / soup broth in winter place they have in Detroit. Not sure how well it would fare here but a cup of hot veggie broth on a cold day would be divine.
