I honestly can’t believe how nasty WOMEN’S bathrooms are sometimes. I get so annoyed when the bathrooms are closed so often for cleaning at work, but considering how they look within 30 minutes of being cleaned, it’s obviously needed. Why can’t adult women just NOT piss all over the seats and leave toilet paper, pad/tampon wrappers, and seat covers everywhere?

There's someone at my work who does this truly bizarre thing where she appears to stuff a bunch of toilet seat covers into the toilet and then leave them there. Idk man. People do weird stuff in stalls.

God shat on women when he handed out having our period. My nips hurt and I ordered 20 bucks of a delivery for 2 tacos. I felt angry at myself for the price but I was SOOO hungry at the hotel.

I have absolutely no idea how I'm gonna pull through surgery after I'm done with school on my period. I was thinking of getting adult diapers and wearing them along with a tampon when I'm scrubbed in. Some of these surgeries last 8-9 hours and I have to change ultra sized tampons every hour during mine. Ya can't just leave to change a tampon when you're in a sterile environment. Some surgeons have a pee container if it's a long surgery LOL. The weird stuff you learn in class.

I used to be in the same boat. I've used a menstrual cup for over 10 years (the femmycycle has my favorite design), and i literally forget that I'm on my period now. I change it when i shower at night, that's it. I fill mine on my heaviest days, but it still lasts all day until i shower. There's a learning curve, but it's so worth it. Zero leaks, zero waste.

My annoyance ..... I wish my partner had a reason to leave the house today for 2-3 hours.
He just doesn't. :/
I'd love to lounge around without being judged ( I won't in front of him at 2 in the afternoon ).
I'm feeling tired today from a long drive yesterday.

Haha
Never mind it’s almost 5p.m. so the window to chill out is coming soon !

I tried a few menstrual cups that didn't work and I bled through. I'm so open to trying the one you have.

I'm about to order it to retry once again with the cups in an hour. I dunno what to do with a heavy cycle like this.

Edit: just bought it on amazon. I hope it works. Girllll some of my classes are 4 hours long and I just can't in scrubs they make us wear as the uniform. Like I legit worry about bleeding through. I hate it.

I hate my new "safety shoes." I only wore them for 5 hours today and only did about 1/4 of the walking I would do on a normal workday, and my feet were killing me just from mostly standing. They're so hard! I hope insoles make them better. It's so dumb to make the employees who walk all day every day wear these stupid, heavy, uncomfortable shoes that were NOT designed for walking. I've never had anything heavy fall on my feet from such a height that it would hurt me. Wish they showed the same sense of urgency in fixing the problem of heavy things being stowed on top shelves (where they're not supposed to fucking be) and falling on our heads/faces. Don't seem to care much about addressing that with the inbound department.... Personally, I care more about my skull than my toes.

I'm feeling defeated about finances again. I shouldn't have to work 50+ hours a week just to make my bare minimum bills. Starting to look into a second job again because I have things I need to save for, not just scrape by. Inflation is killing me, especially on groceries. Not even just food, because I've come up with some dirt-cheap meal plans, but it's all the household necessities outside of food that gut me. And I can put down any food that's too expensive and walk away, and eat ramen instead if I have to. What am I going to do with the other stuff? Not buy toilet paper, garbage bags, and toothpaste when I need it?

One of my credit cards is up for negotiation right now, but before the bank will move ahead, they insist I fill out one of those stupid forms listing all my expenses, all my income, and then “explain the reason for my hardship.” I’ve avoided filling it out for the last couple days, because I’m fighting the urge to sarcastically write “my $0.30/hr raise hasn’t keep up with almost 8% inflation.”

Been going through the same thing. I can't wait for my period to be over so I won't feel so bloated. Trying to lose 10 lbs. But it's damn hard! I don't eat enough to warrant for the weight I've gained. I look better than I did last December but I still want to drop a few more lbs.

Period bloat makes it SO much worse!

I just hate how small/short I am. I feel like it gives me no wiggle-room for “normal” adult calorie intake. Every time I calculate my BMR, if I were to have a sitting-down, office job, I would not be able to consume over 1200 calories a day. Of course, any nutrition information is going to say that anything below 1,000 calories is “anorexic and unhealthy” (and quite frankly, HARD and unsustainable) – and 1200 is considered the bare minimum, but that’s freakin’ hard too. It’s like, god forbid I drink anything but water throughout the day, I just used up one of my SMALL meal’s worth of calories. Every person my height tends to either be chubby, barely eat anything to a ridiculous level (like I have a friend who will literally eat half a cheeseburger for lunch and finish the other half for dinner, and not eat anything else all day), or just be insanely genetically gifted. I am not gifted. The only times I’ve successfully lost weight in the last 10 years was when I was INSANELY strict with my diet and worked out for 90 minutes every single day. I hate feeling like I have to do that for the rest of my life if I don’t want to keep getting fat over and over again.

I found out that a former family friend who murdered his wife is out of prison due to his age and poor heath. Wtf?! He doesn't deserve to be a free man. He deserves to rot in prison. He was guilty of raping a mentally handicapped girl too, since from the time she was underage. White male privilege is all I can figure. It makes me angry.

I relate with all of this. I am 5'3" and I never had a weight problem before. All I want to do is get back down to 125-130 because I do have muscle but geez it's like the only time I was really able to lose weight I had to starve and it was awful. In college I was 104. Now if I did that I would be too skinny. I was anorexic back then though and on drugs.

These damn grocery shopper apps companies need to pay us more.

Keep us updated! You fold it into a C shape, push it in, and pull it down so that it unfolds a little bit and has that suction you want... you can feel when there's no suction vs when it's correctly in place, you get a feel for it. It's SO worth it IMO, just a little learning curve.

Experiment in the shower. I think the femmycycle has a very unique, kind of genius design. Don't give up if it takes you a few tries!! I'm here for any questions that come up.

Just write "unexpected bill - car" or something. They just want to understand what about your situation has *changed*, leading to a need for assistance (lower rate, etc.). ♡ They shouldn't need many details. It doesn't take much for most people to fall behind. I'm sorry to hear it. ♡♡

Have you seen the price of some of these paper towel roll sets?!?! Some are 20 bucks. It's unreal and I feel like a raging bitch when I have to go to the store.
Like I totally understand how it feels to be a Karen nowadays. They hit me where it hurts. Grocery prices. The one moment of relaxation in my day where I can eat peacefully before slaving away at work to fund my life was taken from me. Now I get to ration my food.

Saturday went out to eat with a couple friends to "celebrate" my breakup...we're sitting at a table in the bar eating and this older guy (probably mid-50's to 60) comes over and starts attempting to flirt...it's actually creepy since he's that much older than us but acting like he's everything...rambling on about being in town for something or the other blah blah...I figure he's married and everything and we really did our best to ignore him and act uninterested hoping he'll take the hint so I don't have to cause a scene...but he thinks he's the shit and starts zeroing in on me, hinting about taking me out or something while he's in town, and I reach the point I'd had enough..."instead of taking me out, take me to a few of the shops around here and splurge on me...not the cheap shit, good stuff...or if you're too afraid wifey will question the credit card purchases, just take out the cash and give that too me, then maybe we can talk about going to your hotel room where I'll do a terrible job faking it and you'll only last a few seconds..." the look on his face was gold...then he struck a very self righteous tone asking if I was a slut,, which I corrected him and said that I was a hoe, I don't fuck for free...the table of women near us heard it all and bought our next round in appreciation lol

I'm not even angry or that bothered but I just find this totally uncalled for.

So this morning as I was coming home, my neighbor with a pick up truck was about to back out of her driveway. I can see by her backup lights so I gently honk to get her attention but she kept on so I honked a little louder, she kept going so honked harder. This was the third time for her to finally stop. Now mind you I would yield even though I have the right of way if I wasn't a couple feet from her car so that means I would have to really back up my car just to let her get out of her driveway.

When she got out of her driveway she honked three times to get back at me. So I told her let's not do this today. With her hand out the window she gave me the middle finger.
I didn't curse, no name calling or personal insults. I just calmly told her if she has a problem with what I did, she could just simply get out of her car, come over to where I am and do something about it. I'm glad she understood what I meant and drove away. I don't know her. Only saw her a couple times wearing scrubs so she must work in healthcare so let's assume she's a nurse. I don't know why but a lot of nurses or people in health care are some of the biggest cunts.

A lot people do this on purpose like running stop signs even though you were there and stopped first or cut you off. They know they could get away with it because you wouldn't run right into their cars on purpose and cause damage to your car and theirs.

BD had a luxurious 11 hours of sleep last night and is all upbeat and trying to get laid. I'm running on 3 hours of sleep, been up since 4am, have had a migraine since this morning and a period from hell. In between the nausea and the red sea and feeding and changing both babies, I've somehow managed to power through with caffeine and ibuprofen even though all I feel like doing is curling up in a ball in a dark room and sleeping. I'm not even going to try to work tonight. Once both babies are asleep for the night, I'm going to sleep too.

I think this is why I’m so adamant about having my house to myself.

I can lounge without the judgment.

I felt that this morning when he had a late start for work and I’m thinking “please hurry and leave now” so I won’t feel guilty about working from home in my pjs and him auto assuming I’m doing nothing and starting to get jealous.

^ It’s challenging sometimes with my partner working from home.
I work from home 70% of the time I’d say and out 30% ( some of it created by me to give us a break not my clients actually needing me on site ).
Last week for example was totally smooth in business hours but that Sunday I was dying for lounge time he didn’t leave at all . :/

Luckily one of my gyms has great amenities ( sauna , pool , jacuzzi , outside patio chairs ). I always have an alternative lounge spot but HOME is nice sometimes.

^^^Why do you two have issues with the 'extra' time your spouses spend with their kids when you also complain about not having enough time away from said spouses? Not an attack, genuinely curious. I never thought I could be with a guy who has kids but as I realize how much alone time I require I think it would actually work out for me not being the #1 priority and taking the backseat to the kids.

Just got the kitchen faucet replaced and something I've been wanting to be fixed for half a year repaired. Cost 300 bucks to repair both. I was so excited for me. Literally 10 minutes after the plumber left, I found out one my roommates broke the garbage disposal and decided not to tell me. I now have to roll out 250 bucks for it to be replaced. I'm getting very very close to kicking her out. I can't do it anymore. She's the one I told to not turn the heater on before I had an HVAC system and we were all inhaling carbon monoxide. Wish there was a week long holiday so I could find someone new and take my time choosing.

OMG, that's horrible! WTF!
I always say, (& I mean it) how lucky they are, you really not only take care of your place, but buy oh so many extras, paper towels, wipes etc!
Jeez what an idiot!

I drove crushie from a job site, we were talking about this weird guy & his gf, he claims he does not bring up the dumpsters for pickup, "cause he rarely has garbage"? ::)

Some one (I say him^) loaded up the garbage (TG I'd already brought it to the curb)..
I mean he threw away a lamp, (which crushie retrieved & fixed it, he thought it was mine, I grabbed it & am using it!) a guitar? all kinds of stuff, literally overflowing.

We don't have a disposal, I know where my friend lives, every tenant has a list of things not to. put in there!

Mine is regular!! You can totally experiment with it before your period to start getting a feel for it, if it wouldn't bother / irritate you. You can try different folding methods to see what works for you. The basic idea is that you fold it to push it in, and then you tug on it a bit to get it to unfold and create that suction you want. When there's no suction, you'll feel that it pulls very easily, like it'll come right out, whereas when there's a tiny bit of suction, it resists being pulled.

I know it sounds like a bit of a hassle, but i think you'll get the hang of it. I legit used to be a "change super tampon every hour" person, and on my heaviest day, i still don't have to rinse it until my next shower. It's worth the learning curve! If I'm paranoid, I'll just take it out, dump it in the toilet, quickly wash it, and put it back in before i leave for something important / long / athletic. Some people don't like seeing their own blood, but i find it to be much cleaner-feeling and better-smelling than any tampon / pad experience I've ever had...

Good luck!! ♡♡♡

It can sometimes work incredibly well .
Tonight for example I met them for dinner ( an hour 4:15-5:15 ) .
We eat at this same place 75% of the Mondays.
Now I’m doing an extensive gym routine 5:30-7 ( end of that time is sauna / shower / pretending I’m at a Korean spa even though my town doesn’t have one haha )!
Perfect ! Today is a “ good “ day for me!
I can just speak for me but it works pretty well overall. If my partner had to work 4-8 hours a week outside the house I also wouldn’t mind but it’s not a huge deal .

I look at it too like it just IS challenging sometimes to share living space with anyone ( even a partner ).
On the flip side living alone can be lonely and crazy expensive.

I’m experimenting in being more proactive ( out of house a couple hours 5-8pm ) which I think might help. This reply might be getting long but for me misophonia is also an issue. I wouldn't even describe the two of them as overly loud but at times ( with my own personal quirk ) the house can feel VERY loud and chaotic during that 6-7:30 more unstructured range ( after dinner but before they are guaranteed to be in tv mode in theatre room with the door closed ). So ..... as a way to mitigate quiet activities somewhere else for ME may help quite a bit . My gym has one of those " fascia roller " classes at 5:30 which would be perfect timing for me to be elsewhere 5:30 - 7.


^^^Why do you two have issues with the 'extra' time your spouses spend with their kids when you also complain about not having enough time away from said spouses? Not an attack, genuinely curious. I never thought I could be with a guy who has kids but as I realize how much alone time I require I think it would actually work out for me not being the #1 priority and taking the backseat to the kids.

What really gets me is when I see people in the wealthiest part of the county place IC orders at Food for Less (the most ghetto, cheapest place for groceries down here in workingclassville) and tip nothing. The wealthier part of town is about 20-30 min. away. Like they can't be seen shopping at Food For Less and they don't even tip.

So horrible to not tip grocery or food delivery .
Assholes. I wish there were mutual ratings like AirBnB! Then you could turn non tippers away.

^^So do I! If I see "no tip" on the app, I make a conscious decision not to take that order.

I get that some folks are struggling, but even a $5 is something.

I wish delivery gigs would pay more per order. It should not be left up to the customer to make up for what IC or Shipt should be paying us.

I've signed onto GrubHub now too. Gonna start with them today after my workout and pampering session.

I know this ain't no third world problems but I have absolutely no idea what I want to eat today. I don't even know what to cook.
I know if I HAVE to talk myself into cooking or getting something I won't eat them.

I'm bitter when I went to the store. All the food I like, even the frozen dinners I get weekly went up 50 percent in a week and before the inflation distilled water was 1 dollar. It's now 2 bucks and I need at least 5 gallons a week to keep my fountains going. Look at inflation, trying to take my food and my peaceful 2 water fountains away. I went to the gas station today and the previous person filled there car up to $150!!!

The worst part was they labelled the food that it was on sale when they raised the prices bahahaha. Such a slap in the face.

I sometimes feel like I will always be traumatized by my ex abandoning me in 2018!
I still don’t have clarity on what happened . I do know I was depressed which is so ugly but I was functional still ( working ect .)!
:/
I remind myself that this stuff just *happens* to people sometimes .......

I bring it up because I watched the most triggering movie of a guy that was just like “ we are done “ to his wife / long term partner. No discussion ect.! She tried to fight it ( as one does ) with zero progress.
So triggering.

I still have questions like :
If I would have never revealed sex work would he have popped the question ?
Did he tell his family ( about sex work ) in the end even though he promised not to ?
They always accepted me and didn’t even seem to try to step in and help at the end ?


I'll probably delete this !

Thx. Maybe discuss with therapist soon.
Goddess knows I need to get started up again . :/

I don't " get it " . His " educated guess " ( since there are really no guarantees in life ) was that this ex of his he dated for 9 months who LEFT HIM in 2005 ish ....... this person adds up to a " better option " somehow than his person ( ME ) 2011-2018 who spent 5 years living with him on the island and two years after? I'll stop there. At There is progress ! I don't feel traumatized *often* anymore !

The movie triggered me.
J said he saw his own ex too in the evil character who abandoned his partner .

Dear Skype customers,

Stop sending me messages asking if I'm available, and then ignore my reply. Stop asking me if I will be available in 2 hours, just to ghost me when the time comes for the show. Stop messaging me outside of my normal work hours, after I have already sent you my availability, several times. Stop asking to meet me in person, or asking if I will play with you for free. Are you fucking stupid??? Stop asking me for discounts, when the most you ever intend to spend for a show is $20. If I can't fill my gas tank with it, then you can take the money and shove it up your ass. Cheap fucks don't get discounts or deals.

Sincerely,

A bitch who doesn't give a fuck about your feelings or your erection.

My friend is an online reseller and she says that when she googles people's zipcodes it's always the people in the wealthiest ones that are trying to haggle her down for the lowest prices the most.

FUCKING BICYCLISTS. I get it, some don't have the funds, have a dui, or just plain enjoy the exercise but when you take over the lane for cars and make me swerve a few lanes to not hit you and .....WTFFF. One guy was zigzagging in the middle of the street with oncoming traffic. I was trying to avoid him and paused to figure out where to maneuver my car and another car did a complete stop. Another bicyclist on the way home...like what lane do I drive in when it's heavy traffic and you decided to pretend you're a vehicle peddling at a slow speed compared to traffic!?!?!

Dear lady at safe parking,

No. I will not be renting an air BNB with you. The only people I'm willing to live with are my son, my boyfriend, and his kid. I don't want another roommate. Stop trying to impose your personal agendas onto me. I told you I'm fine I don't want a roommate situation again. Like ever. Why do you keep asking? I said I was saving for my own place. I'm not talking to you anymore about it because really, it's not your business what I'm doing. We aren't even friends wtf?

And then they wind up getting hit by a car. Then they sue the driver. It's maddening.

Tire of our internet being so crappy in the evenings. If Comcast/Xfinity doesn't have the power to service the entire area properly, then they shouldn't have a fucking monopoly over it.
That really sucks.
Great and reliable internet is one of the reasons I stay in this apt.
Since I work primarily online, it's a necessity. The cost is great too.
Everyday on the Next Door app I read about people having shitty internet service/connection.
And they live in the same area, or a town over.

My pissy rant: I bought a neck fan because my car a.c. is not working again ( for the 4th time).
It's 95 degrees, and rising. I went out to test it out in the heat of the day.
It doesn't cool me off. Blah.
Anyway, I made sure that none of my stalker neighbors were out.
Wouldn't you know. As SOON as I got into my car, one of the stalkers appeared. She parks right next to me.
She must've seen me walk by her window.
What do these women want from me?
Seriously, what?
I have nothing for anyone.
Especially now. I'm so sick and weak.
I got back into my apt and just wanted to cry.
I thought, that's it! I have to move!
6 years of this has made me psychotic.
Then, I realized that it would be JUST my luck that I'd have someone worse at my next home.
This is why I only go out at night. I empty my trash and check my mail after midnight.

You have to throw a tantrum with them. Talking to "agents" with their "troubleshooting" is a waste of time. Even having a tech come out doesn't work in my experience.

They miraculously fixed my upload issue after I talked to the district manager. No issues since and that was in November.
