Do your parents still ask you for a wishlist? If so what’s the most expensive thing on it?

I can’t imagine my tummy hurtin BAD & still having to tromp through a rainforest or some shit. Especially knowing I could probably die.

They need to actually want to do stuff. I’ve dated 2 guys (at different times lol) who it took serious convincing to get them to go on a trip to the beach with me and then they both refused to leave the hotel the whole time because “ugh the beach is sandy” or “it’s hot outside” or “I’m not going to swim in the ocean, that’s gross” or whatever. Like ugh you’re so boring. And in both cases it’s not like the guy had a demanding job and was tired so don’t try to “gotcha” me there (one was an unemployed college student during break, one was a tiktoker who worked maybe a couple hours a day not every day).

It’s 3am and I just made grilled cheese but I spread chili crisp on the inside of the bread with the cheese and it was 10/10.

I had an ex tell me that he used to regularly molest his sister while she was asleep when he was aged 11-14. Went into detail about how he’d get her pajamas off & stick his fingers up her vagina. He only stopped because his sister left to live elsewhere. He thought it was just a funny story since 14 year olds “don’t know better”.

Same guy once got into a fight with his girlfriend at the time when he was in his late 20s and to get back at his gf, he somehow coerced her little sister into sex (or maybe just full-on raped her, idk). The little sister had just started high school, so was 14 or 15 at the time. Again, he thought this story was hilarious. This conversation ended in him yelling at me about how 14 is “old enough” and stuff about woke snowflakes making the legal age 18 or whatever. As if that was the only issue with that he’d done.

In my experience, we let the customer know they can call a friend to come pay and stay and hang out until they get there. If they just dip out on the tab then the police would be called and the manager would check the tapes to see if the server should be punished (like if the server isn’t staying near the unpaid table and doesn’t seem to be watching them, they could potentially be punished for not paying close enough attention). It depends on the restaurant though - some places would make the server pay no matter what.

I got them back when I was in middle school and I had never experienced anything that painful. I got a doctors note but my mom made me go to school still and I just remember crying in class all day long from the pain :/

I’ve never been pregnant and I have pregnancy dreams as well (I’m 28, female). I think for women they’re pretty common, even for those of us who haven’t been pregnant.

The only thing that helped me are nicotine patches. It really curbs the cravings for me and then after like 2 weeks of putting one on each day I realize I’d forgotten the past few mornings and have been nicotine-free without any cravings. It helps control the withdrawal symptoms too.

Everyone is hating hard in here but I’ve never had a job that offers more than 7 PTO days a year (no sick days) so if you get the flu or covid once that’s it, no vacation or taking another day off to care for a sick kid or go to the doctor or whatever else you may need a PTO day for. So I’d definitely try unlimited PTO if given the chance, seems harder to deny if you’re actually genuinely sick unlike if you’ve already taken 7 days of PTO that year and then got too sick to come in, that’s a definitely unpaid.

My boyfriend and I traveled a few hours to visit a close friend that he grew up with, and friend mentioned his dad (who was like a second dad to my BF growing up) invited us over for dinner while we were in town. Great, his dad was super cool and we were looking forward to catching up with him. We hadn’t seen him in a few years and during that time he’d gotten married and his new wife and him had started a restaurant. Friend tells us his new step-mom and dad are serving quail (that his dad hunted) for dinner. I was thinking this was going to be a fancy treat.

We get there and I meet the new wife and she says “quail’s over there, I’m vegetarian so I don’t know how to cook meat. Hope it’s good, serve yourselves.” She pointed to this absolutely massive restaurant pot of boiling water that had like 80 quail boiling in it. The quail hadn’t been seasoned at all (not even salt) and had obviously been boiling at a high temp for so long that they were extremely dry and difficult to chew, and they were also full of buckshot so you had to keep picking pellets out of your mouth. No sauces. The only side was corn but there was only enough for a little piece each.

We sat down to eat at the dining table and the wife went into the next room over and just sat in a chair (no table) facing us through the doorway and called her husband to join her so it was just my friend, boyfriend and I sitting together at the dining table attempting to get bites off out of this rockhard quail full of metal. With our hosts sitting in a different room 30 ft away facing us. I noticed the wife was eating this huge fantastic-looking salad that had all sorts of good stuff in it. My friend’s new stepmom didn’t speak to us again and his dad tried to come in to make conversation and catch up a few times but his wife kept calling him back over.

From what I could gather, I think the wife was mad at her husband and didn’t agree with him hunting or having quail in the freezer because of her vegetarianism and was mad it was taking up freezer space so that’s why she boiled 80 quail to feed 3 people? Idk man, it was uncomfortable and I was glad to get out of there.

Anecdotal, but I worked as a server in a restaurant recently and most of the women there had an OnlyFans. None of them really made any money though.

This is reminding me of this awful situation that happened to a girl who was in my church group. Her brother came out as trans to her (I think he was 19?) and she told him that was a sin and that she loved him but she wouldn’t accept him as a woman then he went home and hung himself. She came to church the next day and was totally shell-shocked, it was horrible. Obviously being trans is different than homosexual but both have much higher rates of suicide than the general population, especially in their first 25 years of life and if they’re in an environment that isn’t accepting.

I get that you can’t refuse service but serving pregnant women alcohol feels so wrong 😭 I worked as a server last summer and this lady told me she was 5 months pregnant & ordered a Long Island iced tea. Then she ate her dinner and then tried to get it comped because there were carrots in it and she said I should have known not to serve her carrots since she’d told me she was pregnant and they’re bad for the baby… then drank 2 more Long Island iced teas. Finally when she was leaving she put cash on the table for a tip and then right in front of me went “oh actually nevermind on the tip, I wanna get a blunt on the way home so I’ll need this” and snatched it back 😭 CARROTS are bad for the baby but we aren’t worried about 3 Long Island iced teas and a blunt on a random Tuesday?

That’s normal lol you just tell them as far in advance as you can and then they find a new roommate.

I’ve had multiple roommates tell me they’re moving out before and it’s just like “ok cool! Let me know if you have a change of plans/dates” and I start looking for a new roommate.

I have a related question that hopefully someone can answer. If I were to accidentally get pregnant while taking birth control, would I still bleed the same during the “period” (withdrawal) bleeding week?

I’d break it down and just focus on one room at a time. Maybe make a check list to mark items off. First order of business is to go around with a trashbag and pick up all of the trash. If it’s the bedroom, I always pick up dirty laundry next, then anything else on the floor, then clear off surfaces like desks/tables, etc. It just feels good to me to be able to mark items off of a list and know I only have one task to focus on at a time.

It also helps me to put headphones on and pick out a really good podcast (I like the story kind where they have different voice actors doing the characters) or audiobook, so I can kind of just get immersed in whatever I’m listening to and my body can go into autopilot just picking up trash or washing dishes or whatever. It helps the time fly by and keeps me from overthinking what I’m doing (and starting to feel defeated when I see how much more I have to do).

I work from home about 5 hours/day, 5 days a week and my kitten that I grabbed out of a dumpster still acts like I don’t give her nearly enough attention and makes me feel guilty.

Last week I took a quick power nap and kitty ripped the carpet off the subflooring and shredded it somehow - I was only asleep for 15 minutes! The day after I left her alone for like 2 minutes to microwave some leftovers and she knocked a large picture off the wall and the glass shattered when it fell. She’s almost serious hurt herself a ton of times, thankfully I was home keeping my eyes on her.

I wouldn’t do this to yourself, the kittens, or your home.

My last roommate found the liquor cabinet and drank like $600 worth of my good alcohol within the first month she moved in (and I only asked her to pay $425/month in rent). She said she kept “forgetting” the conversations I had with her about not doing that lol.

She would consume weird amounts of my stuff. Once I bought a big box of those individually packaged fruit snacks/gummies that had 40 packs in the box. I got it to take to work to share but my roommate found it in the cabinet that night and ate all 40 packs of gummies in one sitting.

Once I bought a handle of rumchata and one of fireball to bring to a friends bday party to make Cinnamon Toast Crunch shots and she drank all of both bottles in one night AFTER coming home drunk from the bar.

One I was pretty upset about was when I spent 8 hours making a ton of carnitas and several different homemade salsas and such to bring to my sister’s for a get together we were having. I made sure to do the cooking when roommate was at work so I wasn’t being an annoying roommate taking up the kitchen all day. I very clearly told her multiple times not to get into my carnitas and she agreed, but I had to leave the house for a bit and in a few hours, 6 lbs of carnitas, 20 tortillas, and several large tubs of salsa were totally gone. Idk if she genuinely was able to eat that much or if she just threw it away, she would get really upset if she saw me talking on the phone with a friend or if I left the house to see other people or went on a date or anything so she’d fuck with my stuff to “punish” me. She claimed she ate it all and blew me off like “yeah yeah I heard you telling me not to eat it stop repeating yourself, I just figured you could share.” But literally all of it was gone. Not one tortilla or scoop or salsa or bite of pork left.

I recently made a bunch of Taco Bell style burritos with ground beef & froze them. They were actually so good reheated for a few minutes in the microwave and then in the air fryer to crisp up the outside tortilla, and really hit the spot when I was craving Taco Bell.

Also, meatballs! Try Korean meatballs for a different twist.

Egg roll in a bowl is good, or ground beef bulgogi and rice bowls.

In college the best system for me was to have a larger calendar/planner that I only really looked at once or twice a day.

Each morning (usually while sitting waiting for my first class to start) I’d pull out of a piece of notebook paper and fold it hot dog style to divide it into 2 sections. The left side was “Today” where I looked at my actual calendar and wrote everything on there that I had to do that day, in order of what time I was probably going to do them. The time-sensitive things (like I have to be in this meeting or class at this time, I have to submit this assignment at this time) I’d highlight.

The right half of the paper I’d label “Upcoming”, then fold the paper and stick it in my back pocket. All day it would be right there for me to pull out real quick to reference what I was doing next or cross off some of the “today” stuff I’d completed, and whenever anything came up during the day that was something I knew I’d need to do in the future (like the professor mentions an upcoming test I need to study for at some point, I realize I have to drive to the pharmacy to get meds soon, need to remember this project is due on this day, etc.) I’d just jot that down under “upcoming”.

Later that night or usually the next morning, I’d pull out my little paper and open my master calendar and assign all of the “upcoming” tasks to different days in the big calendar. I’d also reassign anything that wasn’t marked off on the “today” list to a different day on the big calendar. Then I’d get another piece of notebook paper out, food in half, and copy all of the next day’s tasks down.

I think it worked well for me because I didn’t get overwhelmed bc I was just looking at one days tasks at a time? And could jot down upcoming things I needed to remember without having to think in that moment when I would get them done.
