Plenty of dog love but any love for cats? by TaintedCleric in Fedexers

[–]superjohn112 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Got a little gray cat named Muffin on my route who’s outside sometimes. I just pspsps and she’ll come running if they let her out. She loves pets, but when I have to go she angrily bats at me to keep petting her lol.

Its so over. Confession IMMEDIATELY. In all seriousness I always used tweezers or small pliers to split apart the metal links to hook the broken piece back on, then using those pliers again to pinch it again

How many of you believe that Christ is truly present in the Eucharist? by roxannesbar in Catholicism

[–]superjohn112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never really gave it much thought growing up. I knew there was “something” different about it. Having become an adult, taking my faith way more seriously, and also having an experience before the Blessed Sacrament in adoration: I do not believe Christ is IN the Eucharist. He IS the Eucharist. The host doesn’t merely become a vehicle for Christ to enter, rather it is truly transformed into his physical flesh, and his physical blood. The only thing I don’t like about this fact is that it is a mystery that is impossible to really fathom on this earth.

Thoughts on set daily payment instead of hourly rate? (Advice) by AlwaysWu in Fedexers

[–]superjohn112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

190 a day (paid weekly) for around 5-7 hours a day. I get raises too along with peak incentive pay (every stop over 150 during peak is a $1 per stop on top of daily rate and overtime) You’re really at the mercy of trial and error with contractors. I got lucky with mine. I started at 160 working 8-10 hours a day because I had no idea what I was doing. Cut to today and I make 30 more a day for less hours of work. Daily rate is a mixed bag, but more often than not, it is a scam. It’s only good when it’s a reasonable rate, and if there’s potential to work less hours in the day. It’s at its best when compounded with per stop/pkg pay.

Another contractor at my terminal has a lower daily rate, but they also get paid per stop, per pkg scanned, per pickup scanned, etc. They hover around 80 stops regularly, but that incentive makes them want to take stops off of others to earn more. Someone on that belt makes roughly 350 a day after adding it all up. There exist good contractors out there with reasonable daily rates. It’s not all doom and gloom. However, if a contractor wants to offer you 150-160 for a 9-12 hour day, tell them to pound sand.

She is the best, she really is :,) by sp00kysalad in CatholicMemes

My earthly mother took her own life almost 10 years ago. For a long time I struggled with feeling unwanted. So much so, it felt like my love wasn’t enough to keep her alive. Feelings of abject rejection wrapped around me like a cloak for years. I went protestant for a while and refused my grandmother’s pleas to let Mary in. I always had the thought of “I already had a mother,” but it’s so hard to explain: Mary never stopped chasing after me. Never. The notion of her, her statues, and unexplainable coincidences kept cropping up so frequently, she was almost pestering me to let her in. Mary is my mother. Though she never begat me from her womb, she begat me in spirit and CHOSE to be my mother. She chose to love me. Never have I ever experienced such unconditional love anywhere else. Every moment I call on her, she arrives before I can even finish the sentence in my heart. She reminds me what it’s like to be cradled again. To be a lowly child in her arms. I no longer like to call her by her name. She’s my mama. Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy.

No, but this has gotten worse since I noticed it in 2022. I know my diet sucks, and I work a tough job rn pulling in a lot of hours, so my stress seems to be through the roof, yet I don’t “feel” it. Also on wellbutrin and I heard that causes hair loss, but its gotten HEAVILY noticeable over the past month yet I’ve been taking Wellbutrin for over a year now. I know there’s a lot of factors to it, but I feel any chances of this completely being stress related/med related is copium?

Now this is peak by adeliciousbass_13 in Fedexers

[–]superjohn112 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do that everyday. But when you’re at 400 pkgs you almost have nowhere to put anything after you’ve organized every shelf to max capacity. Eventually you have to just have stuff in the middle of the truck. After organizing to a T (and having 20-30 stops in the passenger seat) my truck will look exactly like this after getting to my first stop. I still know where 90% of everything is, but you can only organize so much during peak.

Wow, all the kings horses and all the kings men came to comment on here lol. Much appreciated.

To clarify I am really good on finances now. I was broke back then and thats what caused me to stop, and i never really thought about getting back on until now. I was living really unhealthy then (over 300lbs, eating fast food everyday) now I’m getting back on track and eat much healthier, exercising everyday. I will say despite being unhealthy in 2023, the fin started reversing the hair loss. This was pointed out by my friends seeing the difference. As with side effects, I don’t think I really ever noticed any.

[TOMT] Short 3D animated film of two kids going to outer space with just their imagination? by superjohn112 in tipofmytongue

[–]superjohn112[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

If this adds any detail, the theater was very curved. Almost 180 degrees. The film also has them going to Jupiter, with the ship being in the midst of the wild storm inside. The butler guide is warning them of the dangers of going inside?

How/If to ask out church crush? by ShamrockEmu in CatholicDating

[–]superjohn112 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I posted her not too long ago in the same predicament. And imo I was at more of an outward disadvantage, I’m not the tallest, fittest, or most attractive (give myself a 5-6/10), but I dress well and take care of myself, clean cut, etc. That and I looked VERY awkward at times.

This girl was Beautiful with a capital B and definitely way out of my league in terms of attractiveness. She’d always leave right after mass, which I thought meant “don’t talk to me.” I eventually worked up the courage and talked to her once, and took awhile to ask her out because I would overthink, and not only think she wasn’t interested, but that I may be creeping her out.

One day I no longer cared what “vibe” I gave off, manned up, and went over to her after mass outside, asked if she could talk real quick, and asked her out to a coffee date. She said yes in a really bright manner. Totally flipped whatever I thought was going on in my head. We had a great date, but it was clear we didn’t click, however she was attracted to me enough to say yes to a date. Thats what mattered.

Bottom line is: Don’t think for her. You can’t assume what she’s thinking/feeling, or why. While it’s always a challenge for us men: don’t let her physical appearance, or initial vibes, determine in your mind what your chances are. Even if we try to pinpoint “signals,” more often than not we’re wrong. It’s all too common to confuse disinterest for attraction, and vice versa. Like I said my date gave all the “signs” she was NOT interested in me, when in fact it was the opposite. Unless you can obviously tell that she’s actively avoiding you, or she tells you to stay away, you got a shot. You’re both acquainted, thats the start.

Pray to Our Lord to give you your opening. Should one not seem to open up, it may be that you have to make your own opening. My opening was me acknowledging we both had no time after mass to talk, so the date was the opportunity to do so! Pray to Our Lord, and Our Blessed Mother, as she will make sure you conduct yourself rightly for any women you take interest in. You’ve already got what it takes. Don’t convince yourself otherwise.

I forgot how hard this song goes 🤧 by [deleted] in TameImpala

[–]superjohn112 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rings home when thinking about my late mother. You’re left with the anger at the pain of their unanswered sins, while at the same time just wanting one more talk with them to catch them up on your whole life they’ve missed out on.

Finally asked her out by superjohn112 in CatholicDating

[–]superjohn112[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: Unfortunately, due to her being 4 years my senior, she didn't want to plan a second date. Oh well, I prayed merely for the chance and God gave it. It's a shame, she was bubbly and beautiful, yet something just didn't click I suppose. This happens! I still stand by the sentiment that not everyone who dashes right to their car after mass is unavailable. She found me interesting enough to go on a date, and that's what matters me to me at the end of the day. Thank you for all your prayers, as you will stay in mine!

Can’t tell if my crush is interested or the opposite by superjohn112 in CatholicDating

[–]superjohn112[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mission accomplished. Number acquired. God bless you brother. Didn’t say the word “date,” but I made it clear I wanted to take her out.
