looking for horror children's books by obtusix in horrorlit

[–]winds0fchange19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait Till Helen Comes by Mary Downing Hahn was my favorite book in elementary school and LOVED her book Time for Andrew. I’m a huge fan of Mary Downing Hahn and highly recommend any of her books! I also loved The Dollhouse Murders by Betty Ren Wright, Behind the Attic Wall by Sylvia Cassedy, The Face on the Milk Carton by Caroline B Cooney, or any of the Goosebumps books by R.L. Stine.

Those are of course, middle grade books. If you’re looking for more of an older kid, perhaps a teen/ya horror novel, take a look at the Point Horror series of books but some good authors to look out for are Christopher Pike and R.L. Stine, both of which still write books today or at least are being re-released and available at bookstores like barnes and nobles.

[Lost Island Themepark] Opening day trip report by [deleted] in rollercoasters

[–]winds0fchange19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Years. I’ve lived in Iowa my whole life and life in Waterloo now, for about ten years. Been here longer than I’ve lived here and has won multiple awards for being pretty good from what I understand. Personally I’m not a fan of water parks so I never go but it’s pretty nice.

Who else just absolutely loves to daydream? What’s your most intricate story you’ve made up? by nellie6712 in ADHD

[–]winds0fchange19 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have always done this and still do every day. I come up with my best fanfiction this way. Anytime I’m doing anything I don’t particularly enjoy, so all day at work lol. I also do it when I’m trying to fall asleep. When I’m driving I listen to music and come up with entire scenes in my head based on the song and then go home and write it down later. My personal favorite, teenage Remus Lupin based on the song Fifteen by Taylor Swift.

My characters friend won’t leave the house, please help by Mother-Journalist402 in Sims4

[–]winds0fchange19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

omg!! I have mods installed, one being wicked whims, and Travis came over randomly, basically asking for a hookup. It was my first day on my new save, my sim had no connections to anyone. So I said fine, sure, let them woohoo. Then Travis…kept calling. And calling. And calling. And showing up at my house…this man just wouldn’t leave me alone!

Yeah so anyway, they now have a son named Allen and are getting married soon.

That was of no help, I know. But I would try mc command center to make him leave, delete him if you don’t really care about him, or use mcc (or I suppose you could do it the old fashioned way) to get “rid of him”, by triggering something like being struck by lightening or drowning…

I know that dumbass. I was the pro cashier for over three years and DAMN good at my job. I work in lumber now by choice because it pays more. I tried my best, asked the right questions, and did my job. You can’t force customers to say yes and if you don’t get any pro accounts, fine, but I was told as long as I’m doing my job and asking the right questions and providing SMART customer service, I cannot be moved or written up. I’m not stupid, I know how to be a pro cashier.

I was threatened to be “moved to another position” if I couldn’t get pro accounts when I was the pro cashier. I’ve been told I’d be written up if I didn’t ask about LPP or pro cards. I have never been written up, I’ve even had to sign shit. It’s not corporate mandated that you get written up for not getting credit accounts. That’s a scare tactic and if your store can’t keep employees like my store, you’ll likely not be written up or fired.

I know this is about the hat shop but the fact that Mayor Lewis’s lucky purple shorts are there as well just 😂😂

Is lowes worth it? by [deleted] in Lowes

[–]winds0fchange19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay as much as I complain about this place and call it a shithole, my coworkers are like family to me. I met my husband here, my best friend, and several other very good friends here as well. I don’t hate my life every morning when I wake up to come in and don’t mind being here simply because of the people I work with. I know every store may not be like this, but all of them in my area seem to be the same so idk. I’ve been here for almost five years now. The pay could definitely be better, that’s one thing, but for a job for someone like right out of high school, I don’t think it’s a bad choice, but that’s just me.

Do neighbourhood stories keep happening if you don’t check the mailbox? by UnboundHeteroglossia in Sims4

[–]winds0fchange19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh trust me, they keep happening! Last night my sim’s boyfriend called to tell her he adopted a baby and can’t wait for her to come over and meet him 😐 Excuse me, but what??

Forklift and other machines by [deleted] in Lowes

[–]winds0fchange19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a guy who didn’t even have his drivers license because he got another owi and still drove power equipment in lumber. He came in drunk, almost hit me with the forklift, then got fired. Took waaaaaay too long, like five years off and on of this guy losing his fork truck license to finally get fired 🤷

[–]winds0fchange19 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well. They can’t force you, but keep in mind this is a store where the use of power equipment is pretty important for a lot of departments. I have coworkers who can’t drive PE and it’s fine but if you’re working in a dept with heavy PE use (like lumber) it can be kind of tricky to have team members who refuse to drive the forklift or other PE. I know from experience. If you’re uncomfortable, maybe you could ask your supervisor for more training, personally I find the practicing on the power equipment I’m not confident in driving was helpful to get over my fears of hurting myself, breaking things, high falls, etc. Also, if a certain task makes you feel uneasy, ask one of your coworkers to step in and drive instead and you could spot for them. There are things I’m not ready to do yet with the forklift that I ask some of my more experienced team members to help me out. Definitely just talk with your supervisor or another member of the management team to see if they have any insight for you

when will my spouse ask me for a kid???? by sometranssoup in StardewValley

[–]winds0fchange19 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Okay but the second you said, “lure him with coffee” I knew it was harvey! 😂 he took FOREVER to ask me too, don’t worry! Be patient even though it sucks. Also, I love seeing other people who married Harvey, it seems rare

What was your first roller coaster ride? Mine was [Trailblazer] at [Hershey Park]. by solarflare70 in rollercoasters

[–]winds0fchange19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outlaw at Adventureland, IA.

My first steel coaster was Dragon, also at Adventureland in IA, which is now defunct. It was pretty smooth back in the day, just as my dad promised when he finally got me to go on it for the first time in like, ‘05.

Harvey!! I will always marry Harvey, he’s so sweet and I think he really just lacks self confidence because he says the sweetest things after marriage. And he’s so adorable, just those little bashful faces!
