Can’t catch a break
I don’t think it was considered an asthma trigger, though I do not have the best time breathing with cigarette smoke, either. It was an allergy trigger. It even happened through apartment walls, when my neighbors smoked. Allergy meds and HEPA filters didn’t really help much, and the doctor had no suggestions for me.
Interestingly enough, people vaping nicotine doesn’t bother me, just if they burn the leaf. The only way I knew someone was vaping is if I saw it or it was flavored, no physical symptoms that I noticed.
I’ve been hospitalized due to secondhand smoke, so I definitely hate the smell. It is physically painful for me.
Dating with more experience is so much better. I know what I want and don’t take the bullshit any more. I never want to go back!
When I try to make a conscious effort to fight it, a few things might happen…
I might miss my thing.
I might be late for my thing.
I actually got my alarm for my thing, but now I have to put down what I was working on and now it’s half finished and getting back to it is going to be even harder than starting on it.
I am so stressed and distracted by trying to stay on task for what I work on before my thing and that I can’t actually do anything else because the thought of the other possible scenarios happening weighs on my mind.
Ever since flex, it got so much easier.
Then you implement it.
Not like that. Obviously!
I mean, I have no qualms with recognizing the US education system is garbage… It gives me more fire to try to improve it.
No way, me too
It’s six times better than vine!
I really like the new Zelda games, but I agree that I miss the “tight” puzzles. Some of the solutions to puzzles were too easy if you got certain items before encountering the puzzle. I didn’t always realize until I was done with the puzzle and I was left thinking “oh… That was it?”
Childhood memor-knees
Yep, I have a successful career and had… Ehh ok grades and I graduated college and everything.
The problem was I was basically in overdrive all the time and miserable just to get everything done.
I finally got a diagnosis. It’s a lot easier than in the past. They tested me years ago and basically said I am very intelligent I’m just lazy.
Getting meds has been a challenge though. Not sure when that will happen for me…
Are you American? If so, know your rights. Most debt cannot be passed down to surviving children. If the amount of debt exceeds how much their estate is worth, the lenders are not entitled to you paying them. They will try to make you pay, don’t do it! Do not give them even one penny or agree to anything, or you will have then “assumed” the debt and now it is yours.
The exceptions are loans where your name is on them (joint or cosigned iirc) or medical debt in certain states with filial responsibility laws.
I think my sweater is broken. My reindeer’s head looks like it’s melting.
When there are lots of seats available, I leave my stuff on the seat next to me. If no one is likely to need it, it is nice for me because it is more comfortable and doesn’t bother people around me. (Unlike, for instance, taking off my shoes and letting the smell of my sweaty feet disturb people around me.)
When it’s starting to be slim pickings, I put my stuff on my lap.
I’ve never had a problem when I asked politely if I could sit in the seat where someone kept their stuff. It’s just nice to give people the benefit of the doubt for something like this.
If someone singled me out for this, I would wonder to myself why they chose to direct it at me. Did my RBF strike again? Was it just random chance? Is this part of a scam? Are they a bigot? If I’m getting a full rant for something small and easy to resolve, I do question how far the person will go, since their reaction seems disproportionate. Are they going to escalate further? How much further? Is this person going to follow me when I get off at my stop?
It’s going to happen to me. When I was homeless, I was a waste to help because I’m doomed. Now that I am decently off with a great career, I am a waste to give anything to, because I have it handled. I have this feeling my parents don’t like me lol.
If that’s the attitude, I don’t think it’s right. If it’s going into a trust or something, to prevent the recipient from harming themselves, I don’t see a problem.
Stanley is a brand that makes things like thermal mugs. They were quality and lasted for years, but weren’t designed with looks in mind. They were favored by tradespeople because they’re hard on stuff and it just works. (I knew them for thermal mugs that held coffee.)
For reasons unknown to me, influencers got a hold of Stanley mugs, with a straw and handle. They became very popular. The company now makes them in many different colors and some people decide to collect them.
Millennials can’t afford houses because they’re buying adult meals instead of child meals? I knew it!
