My apartment complex has fireplaces, and the pollution outside is unreal. Ugh... we live in a desert, people. It's like 80 degrees outside!
Same here. My neighbors have been using their fireplaces all summer. Add in the ever present cigarette and pot smell, and I can never open my door or windows.
My only relief from it is when I sit outside in my yard, which is on the other side.
I missed this? What’s going on?
I don’t get stalkers anymore. Probably because I’m a bitch.
I think all women should get properly trained in firearms. BUT don’t go out and buy a gun unless you KNOW how to use it and can be safe.
The best way to get rid of a stalker is to get a dog. You might need to go to the local shelter and get yourself a German shepherd.
Thats what the police told me. No lie. He said my dog was my best defense.
Sometimes it’s just coincidence. I’m energy sensitive, so I pick up on bad energy. Sometimes it has nothing to do with me, and the person is shady but if I ignore them they usually find someone else to bother.
Never open the door for strangers. Be aware of your surroundings.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Acting like a royal cunt is the best way to stay safe.
Thanks for your input, and those are all things that I considered.
No pets allowed here.
I've consulted with an ex cop who owns a gun store.
He gave me a stun gun.
He also informed me that if an intruder breaks in and I shoot him, there is a strong possibility that I will be arrested and/or sued.
It's a complicated subject, but let's just say that criminals are getting away with everything from robbery to murder.
I'm not comfortable around guns, so there's that.
All I can do is keep all of my doors locked, and never answer my door.

Yeah another temp position with some basic benefits (401k, disability, vision, legal plan, etc)
thank you.
i went from incompetent newbie to hustling like hell and getting bonuses and getting invited back.
now i have to eat like a damn bird, deal with stress naturally lol, take an expensive detox tea, and hope to gawd there is no drug test cause ima stall like hell if it is. I tried to stall on accepting the offer but the employer forced me to respond today
i have no one to blame for this but myself because I knew the position was coming to an end and I was about 1/4 of the way clean till I got majorly stressed dealing with the dude and his kids during Thanksgiving
i still blame myself for not coping better with the stress knowing how fast I’m trying to move towards having my own space again and what I have on the line.

What should have been 3-4 hours max of helping a coworker move turned into my ENTIRE fucking day.
I'm not saying I'm mad at her. Between other people who had promised to help blowing her off, and then her fucking up her back lifting the couch at the beginning, she would have been royally screwed if I didn't turn around and go back when she asked for more help after initially dismissing me.
I just wasn't expecting this to take my entire day away from me. I even had to cancel plans I was looking forward to with another friend. Ugh...

^i used to move every 1-2 years and trust me…..I used to move myself and ask friends to help but,
After the age of 25 or so
Hire trustworthy movers
Save ya time, sweat, back blowouts, injuries, etc.
My last move I hired 2 dudes and they moved EVERYTHING from one location to another in 2 hours.
Would have taken me probably 3+ days AND a lot of muscle pain next day doing a DIY move

^^She didn't have the money for professionals. :( I get it. I always tell myself I'll hire people too, and then just literally can't, because it's too expensive - on top of all the normal moving expenses. It was SO nice when we had the fire, and the rental insurance paid for a company to pack, clean, and move everything for us. That was the one bright spot of the fire lol

I bought two things at the grocery store today that looked good, and then when I tried to eat / drink them they tasted horrible and I had to put them outside for homeless people to eat and drink. Some of it was coconut milk, and the other stuff was this dip, some sort of deep fried pickle dip that I just didn't like. Hate wasting money on things. Also, I'm about to get my period any second and I'm so freaking bloated. I barely ate today and I look huge! Wtf?

A stomach virus has hit my household. My kids took turns waking up through the night with diarrhea and this morning I woke up with bad tummy pains, diarrhea, and fatigue. Yucky. I hate winter and winter sickness! I'm probably going to be fired from my new in-, person vanilla job because I haven't been able to work. First it was lack of childcare and I finally found a young lady yesterday who said she'd babysit and now we're all sick today.
I don't want to post another thread here so I'll just add to this one. I hate that Burt's Bees changed the formula of their Radiance body lotion. It used to smell good and give glowy/shimmery skin. For 15 years I wore it instead of face makeup. Now it smells like anti-freeze and doesn't have any shimmer or glow effect to it. It feels tacky on my skin.

I mentioned that eye doctor who I've only seen once 2 years ago, who's been calling me every month since May to come in for an eye exam.
I politely told his secretary that I wasn't ready.
The last time they called was in August, and I explained that my car had died, and I didn't have money to fix it, nevermind spend money for an eye exam.
Yesterday I got yet ANOTHER call, asking me to come in.
I almost answered my phone, because I was logged into my phone sex line, and thought that it was a call from that.
Omg!
PLEASE STOP bugging me!
It's such a turnoff, and now I'm going to block his number.
He's now MAILING me reminders to go into the office for an exam.:doctor::writing:
Omg!

I ran out of gas. Thank God I'm in a parking lot near a trailhead. Some douchebag asked me if I needed help with a jump and I said no, I ran out of gas because my gas gauge is broken. He told me I should probably travel with a full container of gas in my trunk. I told him I don't do that (since it's dangerous) i. Then he replies " oh so you would rather just run out of gas then?" What a jerk. If you can't help with something, then just shut the hell up. Go on your walk, you fat old f***.

A friend who owes me money kept insisting I send her my Zelle info the other day. I remembered today, and texted it to her right in the middle of her texting me about other things, and was like "oh yeah, before I forget again," and gave her the total she owed.
Miraculously, she's gone radio silent since then. Lol typical...
That's why whenever people "promise" to pay me back if I stop and get them food, a drink, or smokes on the way over, I just assume I'm buying them a gift and eating the cost.

My mom wants me to visit her in a couple of weeks.
She’s staying with her boyfriend right now. The one who is fairly well off but not ever going to marry her like she wants and has been kind of emotionally abusive but she keeps going back and staying with him.
I haven’t seen the dude in decades and he’s offering to pay for me to accompany them to some high society gala
I normally would decline but I’m missing my old life where I went to fancy outings/networked with well connected people in the city/ and climbed the social ladder one exclusive event at a time.
Her longtime bf was like “I’ve got plenty of food, a big house you’re welcome to stay in, and a ticket to attend a fancy gala” …….all stuff I wish my current dude would tell me but he’s the type that expects me to help him fill the fridge, wants to sit at home with his kids every weekend, or go eat at restaurants where sometimes I pay.
Now I’m really considering taking moms longtime bf up on the offer but I need an excuse to get another solo trip where I don’t have L asking a lot of questions, running guilt trips, or insisting he (and his kids) tag along.
If L understood the assignment I would not be trying to ditch him every other weekend/permanently

I got a knock on my door last night. I couldn't see who it was, it was pretty dark outside. But I turned down the TV and listened. I could hear the laundry room door open and close (the laundry is near my apartment). I didn't hear a car leave or anything. So, it was one of my neighbors. I'm pretty sure it was the same creep that asked me if i ever been to a nude beach (he asked me this while I was getting the mail). He has randomly knocked on my door in the past, and had some bullshit reason to talk to me. I'm glad I didn't answer. But it's so annoying.

^yeah he’s the type that loves to do couples/family stuff ALL the time
It would be cute IF he made himself more useful financially. Like if he paid 100% (and made it worth my while to deal with him/his kids every weekend) then I wouldn’t mind him/his kids tagging along.
I’m leaning towards going if my employer lets me out of a weekend day.
I’m going to have to spin it as I’m going to do something enriching but boring/uninteresting af to him/those kids (like a museum tour or something) AND I think I’m going to tell him my moms bf is paying so he won’t assume “hmmm she’s paying for all these trips, she must have some money now to help me pay these household bills”

Annoying neighbors.
I could write a novel.
Goddamn it!
I (once again) had JUST logged on to my phone sex line.
Someone knocked at my door.
I ignore it.
I get a text from the offsite management office apologizing for not giving me notice that maintenance is coming to fix my neighbor's leak.
Huh???
Wtf does that have to do with me?
I immediately call the office and she tells me that they need access to my yard to get to her water heater.
I tell her that the only water heater in my yard is mine.
She said she didn't know that as she's never been in my yard.
Oh, good God.
Know the property much?
No. You don't.
This neighbor has been a nonstop pain in the ass!
Not only has she been stalking me for 4 years, but she's continuously breaking everything in the apt. She's even threatened to sue the new owners for not fixing stuff.
The garbage disposal was repaired yesterday for the umpteenth time.
I even saved a text she sent to my previous landlord that says she runs the garbage disposal to piss me off. She's running it now as I'm typing this at my kitchen table.
Hmm.
The day I can be free of this woman will be the happiest day of my life.
She only moved into that apt to finish out her daughter's lease which she pays for.
That lease has been up for 3 years.
Get out already!!!

I am livid right now. I contacted the grocery delivery apps I work for. It used to be that if you got covid, these app companies would provide some financial assistance for the time off that you need to take to recover from covid. Neither one of them does that anymore! Shipt literally discontinued it two days before I caught covid! When I called and spoke with a supervisor, they said they no longer provide financial assistance and if I wanted to, I could continue to shop even though I have covid! So I thought I should tell all of you ladies that these delivery apps don't care if their Shoppers have covid or not. If you place any orders, please confirm with your Shopper that they are covid free and healthy. It's absolutely appalling that these delivery services would allow this! Considering that a lot of their customers are people who have fragile health conditions through which covid could actually kill them. So irresponsible of these companies. I haven't been delivering. I've been trying to find other resources for money and food. I told them I refuse to deliver while I'm sick because that's just wrong. What a horrible thing for them to do. Absolutely horrible.

WHYYY does Wondershare Filmora always have me sitting there for several minutes waiting for a new video to save, and then when it's down to the last second (or even at 0 seconds) it just fucking sits there at 99%. And usually when it does that, that means the program is about to give me a "This program has stopped responding" message. And then I have to exit out of it and start all over again. It's so frustrating and time-consuming.

I got into an argument with some broad on Facebook who was saying that stripping has changed and it’s all about looks and youth now. She’s so wrong and I’m so annoyed about it. Literally every club I’ve ever worked in it’s always the 30+ women quietly selling dances and VIP all night long while the younger ones loudly broadcast their night, good or bad. I have so much to say about how wrong and self-limiting she is but I don’t believe in arguing on social media. Grrrrr!

Being an older dancer ( by dancer standards ha ) is hard for me but it's only because I physically can't stay up late anymore. I max out at 12-12:30 a.m. or so unless it's going amazing. I'm not sure my answer matters though since I haven't worked in months ha. I still have my bag organized though haha ! I do sort of count on hoping I catch some $$ in that 5-8 p.m. range from the guys who like a more mellow vibe before it gets busier.

I'm fucking bummed, I missed an appointment yesterday because it was an outcall and I'm breaking out in face psoriasis from stress in my life. This is the first time I've had face psoriasis, it is usually just spots of body psoriasis when I'm stressed that take like months to go away. It's not that apparent with makeup on but it looks like I'm covering up spots of acne on my forehead and my cheek. He wanted to meet for drinks at the bar first for an extra hour and I didn't feel comfortable with the lighting. I'm sticking to incall from now on where I'm in control of the lighting situation. This SOOO sucks. I didn't even work last week.

I was so nail biting aggravating to have the clinic do NOTHING for 24 hours . Then I called twice yesterday and twice today.
Sheesh. I feel exhausted begging for my medication. I broke my last one in half and took it yesterday and the other half today.
I am feeling " off " today ( not surprisingly ).
Anyway .... that has been exhausting and created drama today.
I even dug in a purse and was thrilled to find a few .
Glad it is in there now. I was panicked at 4 p.m. today thinking I had NONE for tomorrow.
I did not want to experience that .
Can't wait to just crush one up and snort it.
Or just take a little extra tomorrow, ha.

There was this one little boy coughing and sneezing up a storm that kept trying to sit on the waiting room chair with my 2 year old and a couple times was trying to get up on my lap.

When I submitted my Holiday wishlist for the money I won through work, they told me a Nintendo game wasn't available and asked if I wanted to replace it with something else. I took it off, put something else on there for my stepdaughter, and resent it. Now, today, they email me to tell me that they processed my list but the Nintendo games weren't available, so they just added another bluetooth speaker to make up for it and finish processing the list.
First of all, I replaced the physical game with something else. Did they not read my email? I responded directly to them. Secondly, the only other game I had on there was for a DIGITAL CODE. How the fuck are you going to tell me that digital codes "aren't available?" And, of course, the digital code was for the one thing I wanted for myself. And lastly, I don't need another bluetooth speaker. It's a gift for my dad, because it's waterproof and my parents just got a hot tub. Who else am I going to give something like this to? Guess I'll replace my gift to myself and use it in the shower? lol

Some dude at work today baited me into a conversation by asking, "You know why I'm not sad anymore?" and proceeded to tell me it was because he's accepted Christ as his savior.
Like, fuck.
Why do I always get in these conversations?
I almost asked if he was being sarcastic. He was initially being so over-the-top, with this weird smile, and tone to his voice - like he was either being facetious or had gone full-blown switch to cult-like behavior - But I'm glad I didn't ask if he was joking, because he was NOT.
I made my peace with religion a long time ago, don't care if people are religious, and honestly, I'm happy for people who can find that sort of faith and comfort in something. I don't care. But it was very bizarre coming from this guy.
Multiple people at work have used the word 'narcissist' to describe this guy, and truthfully, I've been seeing it more and more the last few months. This sudden, "I'm just a vessel of God and spend the entire day in prayer" shift seems like a narcissistic thing - now he's going to use his holiness to justify how he's better than everyone else rather than just try to convince people of it.

The free daycares and their ridiculous requirements and/or questions. 2 expect my 2 year old to already be potty trained. I've been trying but she has no interest. You can't force a kid to potty train when they're not ready. I've tried offering to rewarding her with stickers and toys and she still shuts and pisses her pants or on the floor. The others said they'd accept my 2 year old, but not my 9 month old. I'd rather them be together because although they fight like Tom and Jerry, they will be unhappy if one is not around the other. My 9 month old is like Inspector Gadget and will go searching the apartment if my 2 year old even leaves the room. I never thought it would be this hard to find adequate childcare.

Aaanndd the Wal-Mart grocery annoyance continues.
The driver got lost.
My eggs were missing.
I tell her that enough is enough!
I instruct her to call them right now and go back to the store to get them.
Wal-Mart customer service says no to that and can only do a refund.
I ask the driver to please go to the convenience store a block away and get eggs.
I give her a $20, and she comes back with $2 change.
She says that I gave her a $10.
Um, nice try sweetheart.
The atm only spits out 20's.
And who brings their 2 small boys with them for a ride along at work?
I get it. She's probably not going to hire a babysitter.
But, in today's world I would NEVER leave small kids in my car while I'm not even near them on the deliveries.
But, that's probably just me.
