I made grits and ate a few bites, pulled a piece of literal paper out of my mouth. Yuck. That’s fine, I’ll just make a cup ramen quick…I drop it out of the microwave and burn my feet. At this point I just want to go to bed so I try again and make my LAST cup ramen. I broke my tooth on something??? in my ramen. What is going ON? I definitely ate some of whatever that is.
Duke, dude, why are you guys just absolutely FUCKING us? I'm actually astonished at this. For a 2 bedroom apartment. Is this because of Al, Is this just me? It's not even like I used more energy, more than 100 kwh less than last year. This is so disheartening and disgusting and we can't do shit about it. Maybe this is just me though idk
So I heard whistling in the stairwell of my apartment complex. I ignored it, kinda late but pretty normal and I had 1 side of my headphones on. Well about 10 minutes later my bf brings up the whistling, it was STILL happening. Suddenly it went from whistling to guttural grunts and gasping/ crying sounds. We looked at each other like 😬.
We listened as this person swapped from gasping for air crying, to whistling, to gasping for air, to grudge-like long groaning clicking sounds. It was one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever heard. Right as we decided maybe we should call for help, not even maybe 3 minutes into this, we heard them walk out the front door.
Like…what was that! I would’ve went out to see if it sounded like somebody just crying, but the switching to cheerful whistling like it was at something, and the groaning clicking sounds, and the (ALMOST) overdose-sounding gasping sounds? (You could hear them walking around, wasn’t that.) To make it worse we were winding down for the night and I had taken a gummy, and this was the worst occurrence that could’ve happened after lol.
This is my first real at home safety concern I guess? On the west side.
I can’t help but think we should’ve called somebody, but if it was somebody crying I don’t want to make it worse with 911. Not only did we not even have enough time to weigh the options, but they wouldn’t have come soon enough anyways I feel. Have a good night all
Wreck on Queen City involving what…2 trucks and a U-Haul? I hope they’re ok, how in the world did it flip?
So much pollen on my windows
Hello! My bf and I are excited to get our 18 month sobriety tags/coins soon. We’ve been to so many meetings in the area but we don’t have a home meeting. My bf doesn’t like the hug lines most meetings form for clean time anniversaries (I don’t mind it). I was wondering if anybody knows of any not “huggy” meetings? I’ve only come across meetings that are huggy, or meetings that don’t do clean time.
Thank you!
So I’m from the southern part of WV originally, lived there for the first 22 years of my life. Eventually I went to rehab in Parkersburg (2 yrs ago) that gave me the option to do PHP and IOP in another state (OH, FL, NJ, or CA.) I chose Cincinnati, OH because I already knew I liked it. After a few months in the rehab I decided to fully move here.
Don’t get me wrong I love it here, there’s so much stuff to do, everywhere has a sidewalk, 24/7 stores, etc. but I can’t lie, I miss WV every day. With every rude person, every bad driver, every time people don’t do small talk…there’s so much about WV that I took for granted when it was all I knew.
My plan when I first moved here was to live here for a few years until I figured out where I wanted to go, but moving back to WV was never in my plan…until now. I’m honestly starting to get anger issues living here, a fault of my own not the city.
I just miss the small talk with strangers, the waving when you let somebody go on the road, the mountains, the drivers,…but most of all? The people.
I’ve been thinking about this today especially because I left space for somebody pull out of a Starbucks onto the road earlier, and she gave me not only a wave but a thumbs up too. I realized how much I miss that, seeing as that’s the first person to have acknowledged something like that this month (from what I can remember).
Anyways, I’m just rambling. I took WV for granted when I was so determined to move out, until I realized what actually makes the state great is the people.
Saturday night my boyfriend and I went to an Ethel Cain concert at MegaCorp pavilion. The concert was a blast! We decided to drive and park at the Newport levee parking garage instead of taking an uber.
The aquarium parking garage is the most confusing garage I’ve ever driven in, there’s so many twists and turns and kinda tough to find the stairs to get out. We had never been before, the rates aren’t bad and the arcade seems neat.
After the concert we get back to the car…and just sit there. The traffic behind us was terrible, we couldn’t even back out into the line because it was at a complete standstill, and we were far from the only ones. At an intersection closer to the exit nobody was letting the lower levels go. After almost 2 hours of nobody moving we just took an uber and came back the next day to get the car.
I have never seen such bad traffic in a garage, I was honestly kinda panicking because we couldn’t get out, and the gas smell from all of the cars was giving me a headache. I think there was a school dance nearby too because everybody behind us was dressed up, throwing a football, and playing music while in traffic. Honestly that was the only silver lining in this, it was nice seeing people making the most of it.
Now I know not to park on the lower levels during busy events, I don’t even want to know how long people were stuck after we left. I expected plenty of traffic but I definitely didn’t expect complete standstill traffic. Maybe somebody else on here was in the garage too
Thanks!
