hello! sorry if this isn't allowed and/or has been asked often. i am 20, in college, and currently working at dollar general for 2 years. i attend a community college about 45 mins from home but will hopefully be transferring to a 4 year school in the next year or so. my question is: **is it worth it to move to walmart and start over?** i currently get paid $10 an hour and only get about 12/14 hours a week, with no promotions. the pay was fine originally but since starting college i have to pay for more gas (and snacks :c ) and am just barely scraping by each week with my moms help. google says the minimum pay at walmart is $14 an hour and my local store is hiring for the fashion cen...

My first memory is yellow. My first memory is yellow, but my first memory is not the yellow sun bright, blinding as I squint my eyes until they adjust. My first memory is not sunflowers growing tall, reaching toward the sky. My first memories are not the yellow floaties that your mom puts on your arms, a well-intentioned attempt to help you not drown. My first memory is yellow, a yellow Fisher-Price toy to be exact. You know that yellow Fisher-Price fish that you sat on and rocked back and forth. My first memory is a yellow fish, the day that I was dropped off at my first foster home. I played on that toy as her and the strange man who brought me there spoke off in the distance. She shook ...

Hi everyone — I’m hoping for some help identifying this vintage baby doll. Details I can observe: • Eyes open when upright and close when laid down (sleep eyes) • Head feels rigid (not soft vinyl); limbs are also rigid • Painted molded hair (no wig) • Small open “O” mouth • No visible maker’s mark on the head • Clothing appears old and is sewn shut, so I haven’t checked the torso for markings yet • Appears to be older than mid-20th century, but I’m not certain • Cradle shown in photos is likely a later addition and not original to the doll I’m mainly curious about: • Approximate age/era • Material (composition vs early plastic, etc.) • Possi...

I’m not looking for a diagnosis—just hoping to hear from anyone who’s experienced something similar, or has ideas on what direction to explore next. I’ve seen all the specialists, and still we have no clue what could be wrong with me. All of a sudden this year, I’ve developed a massive amount of allergies and intolerances, and I get reactions to smells, chemicals, perfumes, and various foods. It’s gotten so bad that I can’t get in my own car, because the leather smell hurts my lungs, makes me dizzy, and causes throat tingling and dryness along with other symptoms throughout the day. I can’t get in an Uber with air fresheners, go out to clothing stores since they usually spra...

Wanted to see if anyone else was bummed about the release timing of the new range and battletome? I locked in to a pre-order of darkwater thinking there would be a little gap between that release and the new range with the sloven knights I’m most pumped for. I was really wanting to paint new nurgle and made a big mistake is seems as I Got the box and on this weeks preorder form it’s the new range and battletome? Even my LGS was saying it was unexpected. While I’m not complaining about the range itself the timing ***** and I have to choose between the box or the new range. I have a gw store local to me do they do exchanges that large?

So I run a tiny thrift and rework shop, and this week I decided to experiment with something new: buying a bale of clothes instead of sourcing piece-by-piece. Everyone told me it’s a gamble, but I didn’t realize how much of one until the bale actually arrived.  Opening it wasn’t just unpacking inventory, it felt like unpacking other people’s histories. Some items were great, some were puzzling, and a few definitely made me question the decision entirely. One jacket smelled like it had been stored beside someone’s broken dreams. Another piece looked like it came straight from an “unexpected surprises” corner of Alibaba. There were moments I laughed, moments I sighed, and momen...

Hello r/JMT! I had a wonderful hike this past August and wanted to share a review of my gear. I have plenty of other thoughts on all things from toiletries to first aid to repair kits but this is already too long. Feel free to ask if you have any specific questions! **Pack** [Osprey Eja 58](https://www.rei.com/product/201307/osprey-eja-58-pack-womens?sku=2013070002&store=127&CAWELAID=120217890014012766&CAGPSPN=pla&CAAGID=110406866586&CATCI=pla-476625850964&cm_mmc=PLA_Google%7C21700000001700551_2013070002%7C476625850964%7Cbrand_flag%7C11304355389&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=11304355389&gbraid=0A...

My wife and I were in a Whistler (Canadian ski resort) gift shop today when I randomly stumbled across several LEGO sets. There were several Star Wars and Marvel sets, the bonsai tree, and the Game Boy. Nothing about the store made me expect toys—much less LEGO. Everything else was clothing, ornaments, and other souvenirs. Not only did they have LEGO sets, but they even had LEGO minifigure head coffee cups. I still can’t get over how unexpected and oddly out-of-place it was.

Tried Monsieur Dior on Saturday night. Greetings - at the door off Rodeo, one person to open the door, another to check you in and send you up the elevator to the third floor. Ambience - high end, lots of very stylish women, several who looked like real models. Lots of tasteful but expensive clothes and jewelry. People who dressed very casually looked out of place. Quite surprisingly bright, lots of white tables, chairs and floors. Big bar/lounge area, very nice outdoor patio (lounge opens to the patio) with nice view. But it was slightly too cool on Saturday night to enjoy sitting outside, as we don't like our food to get cold. Big interior staircase into the store. Lots of st...

Hello, everyone. I wanted to share my experience with Oyuka Clothing and encourage others to think twice before ordering from them. I placed an order on November 28th. Given the current situation in Sri Lanka, I held off on contacting them for a while, as I didn't want to seem insensitive - especially since my own business has been affected by the recent floods. However, it's now been almost three weeks, and my package still hasn't arrived. I've reached out to them multiple times via Instagram, but all I receive are the same responses: "Your order is in process, and we will deliver it next week." While I understand that delays can happen, three weeks feels ex...

I recently bought a pair of Lee chinos off Amazon (Lee no longer have a local presence in Australia and have never sold plus size items here.) https://www.amazon.com/Lee-Wrinkle-Relaxed-Straight-Imperial/dp/B0977D891P/ref=ast_sto_dp_puis I checked my measurements: 132cm waist (52"), 140(55") cm at my navel, where mis rise pants hit and 142cm (56") at the hips. I bought the 28W, sized at 132cm max waist and 146cm hip, as the waist on the 26W maxed out at 125cm (49"). There's a full 2" gap at the waist. I could have sized down at least one, possibly 2 sizes. They push for everything to be sold online but international shipping isn't free. I spent over...

I was not sure what we were hunting, but the Saint requested that I accompany him, personally. We marched out of the front door, I was on a palanquin with him as we went along. I saw as the hunters scattered throughout the darkness. Apparently, a bunch of people broke free on a ship and swam to shore. They were scattered in the forest. Me - "Why don&#...

God I love Shore-Leave 😅

I have a Stepson (SS), DIL both near 40. One grandson (GS) entering teens. They are not that well off, live very far away from us, and my husband (SO), SS's dad, has always been generous. On the other hand SS doesn't even bother to text SO on Father's Day. They live out of state. I recently asked them for a Christmas gifts lists with a rough budget of $150 each. I know GS needs clothes, shoes, etc and we usually help out by buying those items often and generously. I asked several times for SS and DIL to get back to me with ideas and a week ago I gave them a deadline of 12/15/25 or else I would just send a check. I heard back today, SS requested a knife from Amazon that was ab...

TLDR -- my scale variance is as much as 7 pounds on any one given day. That seems like a VERY large difference. Help me use my scale more correctly? Although I've been on a successful weight-loss journey for about a year now, I'm just starting to take careful measure of my scale weight. I have a new-ish Bluetooth scale (Wyze brand) so I'm going to try to remember to connect it to my phone every time I step on the thing, so that it will record a longer-term log of all my measurements. I've been forgetting to turn on my phone Bluetooth when I measure. In the past, the only regular method of scale use that I've done, is that I've been stepping on immediately after...

There's a lot of talk (rightfully so) about the major issues that affect women such as reproductive rights, voting rights, the wage gap, medical misogyny, gendered violence, sexual harassment and rape culture, patriarchal expectations and so on. Anyway, my question is not based on any of that at all. Instead I was giving thought to what do women here think are, for want of a better term, "minor inconveniences"? By that I mean things that might not seem to be major issues (unlike the things I highlighted in the first paragraph) but are just annoying enough to show that things aren't all that equitable. So, anyway, to kick things off, a few examples of what I mean. An...

so I went to the mall today with my husband just to walk around and kinda hangout. Well I went to Nordstroms bc I literally live all the clothes in there and prior to my pregnancy that was basically my closet. I was just so sad to see myself in the mirrors around the store in my maternity leggings, oversized shirt, and slippers (none of my shoes fit me either). I know this sounds shallow but this has been really bothering me so bad. I literally cry in the shower because I **** that I can’t wear any nice clothes anymore because I feel like a fat ******* whale. Not even my wedding ring fits me. I’m like literally starting to resent my pregnancy. I just want to feel like myself again and th...

I should’ve known the delivery job was a bad gig when the guy hired me without looking past my name on my resume. He squinted at the paper and said, “You’re hired, Dino.” He pronounced it dee-noh. “It’s actually Dino,” I told him. “Like Dinosaur.” He glared at me. Rough-looking Italian type who probably kept a baseball bat under the counter and would pull it out if annoyed by mouthy teens. Squinted hard at my shirt, which was wrinkled and said Peak Mediocrity. He grunted. “Honesty. I like that.” “Thanks.” “Are you good at following rules?” “I am *mediocre* at—" “There are some rules you HAVE to follow. For safety. Others I can let slide. I don�...
