I hope the "anxiety meds" you take aren't from the benzodiazepine family (Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan, Valium, etc.) If they are, they are only intended for short-term usage, i.e., two weeks or less. If taken consistently, day in day out, for longer than that, even if you're taking a small amount and it's prescribed by a doctor, you can develop a dangerous dependency.

If that is the type of medication you're taking, I'm the author of The Benzo Book, and in it there's information that can help you sort this out. It's available online, but if yo can't afford to buy a hard copy, you can download a free copy at thebenzobook dot com.

Judging from "FAFSA" in your post, you're probably in the US. I recommend looking into series i savings bonds for the kind of liquidity limitation and inflation protection you are looking for.

You’re not alone, OP. I’ve definitely said some shit that I regret. What you said definitely hurt your friend, and they may need some time to figure out their feelings, so give them some time and then try reaching out again. Stress that you understand that what you said was completely wrong, and that you want to be able to make amends. I don’t know how your family is, but I do know that this relationship is not all lost, it’s just hit a bit of a bump in the road. It can be saved. Your friend just needs some time.

Safety deposit boxes aren't safe and aren't regulated. Would not recommend storing gold or silver in one. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/19/business/safe-deposit-box-theft.html

People make mistakes. Wait a while, then message him and explain. If he still doesn't want to have any contact with you then it's time to accept that and move on.

Who typos silver as gold? That seems weird as hell to me

"If I didn't have the money locked somewhere" but you didn't. You left it unguarded and out in the open. In future I recommend buying a safe yoy can place in the wall or floor

It seems suspicious that somebody would’ve happened by and took one of the only valuable things in the garage...

Is it a sink plunger or a toilet plunger? Toilet plungers usually have a flange that sticks out the bottom and fits into the drainage area of the bowl. Sink plungers are flat on the bottom to get suction.

Also, never use a plunger on a sink with a garbage disposal. I learned that one the hard way.

Plungers work on sinks too.

The same kind of idiot who chastises some one for fucking up on TIFU.

Looks like you have a trip to the hardware store ahead of you. Good thing sink drains are easy to fix. And relatively cheap.

Storing precious metals in a garage is a dumb move. You can learn from this, save your future money in a bank, store physical items in a bank safety deposit box.

See this is character developement and the first step towards unlearning the generational trauma your parents picked up from their parenting and spread to you; you're the only one that can decide how you act towards your own children so please acknowledge what you went through is not normal and make sure your offspring wont have to deal with such traumas. Much love, someone in a similar boat.

So I was in the neighborhood a few months ago and noticed this open garage and found a sack full of coins. They didn’t look like regular quarters, but they fit perfectly in the washing machine slot. I’m so glad that I didn’t have to pay for laundry that week.

😨

Some bitchass customer kicked the drain pipe for the pissoir at my workplace this week.. Thank fucking god I was not at work that day.

My non medicated brain works incredibly similar to a drunk person. I usually don’t make mistakes like that no iron supplements + anxiety meds for a day really does stuff to a person ig

I actually did try a plunger.... It’s something my mom uses a lot when the sink gets clogged and we have one specifically for the sink. I just didn’t mention it because I thought people might find it strange haha 🥲

If you sonehow don't have a plunger, doing some hand CPR over the drain can help a bit.

Even an empty 2 liter coke bottle can work as a plunger.

Kicking plastic pipes never helps.

Tbh in a cloudy frustrated mind, I'd probably also kick the pipe

Was only the silver/gold stolen? If so, who knew where you kept it?

If you lost a friend over four words after he provoked you first, that might not have been a strong friend

....no? I fucked up....the point of the sub? I mean go off my dude and downvote the post if you want 🤷🏻‍♀️ I feel really bad about it and thought people could get a cringe and or chuckle at my faux pas.

Honestly, I've basically never had the hand not work even in professional kitchens. It's all about the technique and then just doing it really fast and hard
