108beads

@[email protected]

I started on Beehaw, moved to Lemm.ee, and am now moving to LemmyWorld (all as 108beads). The reason is technical issues with what tools are allowed to me for modding tasks. The communities I mod are on LemmyWorld, so my account needs to be on LemmyWorld.

What advice would you give a young adult about to move out?

I am asking this question because the young adult in question, is me. I am to move out in a few years, and it feels impossible to move far away from my hometown (which I want). I have no idea how to juggle both finances, a job, and the move itself. With the global inflation going on, it feels impossible getting hold of a decent...

And for heaven’s sake, start an investment retirement account now. Yeah, I know, “but I’m not making enough, but there’s that shiny thing in the (online) store window, but I’m never going to get old.” Just allot one take-out coffee’s worth of spare change per week. You can up the ante later. Let the miracle of compound interest do its thing.

I’ve read about a variation of this and do it faithfully! Except you have to be driving under an overpass with train tracks, and there has to be a (preferably moving) train on the tracks above you. The idea is that when you press your hand to the car’s ceiling, you get to send a wish to hitch a ride on the train going by above you. The moving train takes your wish along with it, giving it quicker travels, more exposure to the world, and thus more opportunities to be fulfilled.

I hear this! Mine now tries to snuggle up by shoving his butt toward my face, and draping his tail across my mouth.

Sleep tight. Don’t let the bedbugs bite. And if they do? Bite them back!

108beads,

Sorry, absolutely no clue—like at least 30-40 years ago.

108beads,

Absolutely! Toasted, with ketchup!

108beads,

Walk? In Houston? Nope.

108beads,

Yes. This is the basic driving style on the Katy. No rules, no lanes. Just wide open spaces, bumper to bumper at a minimum of 75 mph. On a good day.

From my grandmother: “Essen! Essen!” (Eat! Eat!) Followed quickly by “You need to lose weight! You’re getting fat!”

Is my mother bipolar?

Like I don’t understand why she act so nice sometimes, then 5 minutes later become a horrible monster, then half an hour later, she calms down and seems nice again? Like I swear I feel like I’m (metaphorically) constantly shifting through different timelines and sometimes I exist in a timeline where she’s nice, sometime I...

108beads,

It’s definitely not “normal,” certainly not healthy. As to what—could be symptoms of many different possible underlying causes.

108beads,

Language, other than one’s native tongue.

Help: I'm dealing with hundreds of ripe plums

Last fall I moved into an apartment with a plum tree in the front yard. I don't know anything about plants or trees or fruit, and now that summer is here there are hundreds of plums dangling off this tree. They're attracting millions of ants, as well as raccoons, possums, rats, and a few bold humans who I've caught plucking from...

You probably have food banks in your area which would be delighted to get some!
