Venting Thread!

[(Anonymous)]

For Christmas, I got a pajama top with embroidery on the top. I don't know whose bright idea that was, but I can't wear it without something underneath because it has this embroidery rubbing against my chest, which is awful. :( They're cute and really soft but I would have to wear an undershirt to wear these or that will bother me when I have them on.

I'm just frustrated I have to go to work tomorrow. I really don't feel up to driving, still sore from back surgery. But I'm still on probation, so I don't have vacation time yet.

Re: Venting Thread!

Was the back surgery successful? Do take care of yourself!!

It's hot. It's been hot for a week. It's winter, it's not supposed to be hot. I hate it.

Re: Venting Thread!

[philstar22]

I feel this. It has been in the 80s here this week. My mom and my cat are loving it, but I for one am glad it is going to start getting colder again tomorrow.

Re: Venting Thread!

[kaijinscendre]

Same. 80s the whole week. It is finally getting cold again but with that comes really high winds. That sometimes knocks out our power.

Re: Venting Thread!

[(Anonymous)]

We finally turned to winter after half a month of 60 degrees (it's now where it's supposed to be, in the 40s). My mom texted me that it was 80 degrees down in OK, and like, dude, no.

I don’t have any venting to do but is there any chance you can upload a pic of the backside of the embroidery to like Imgur or someplace? I may be able to help you make it better.

Re: Venting Thread!

[(Anonymous)]

Oh that is so nice of you to offer! Thank you! Here are three pics, the first two are the backside and the third is the front (just in case that helps somehow)







Thank you again! You are so kind!

Some kind of iron on interfacing might help with that, nonny. I'm not an expert, but that's often done to protect the back of embroidered clothing.

Re: Venting Thread!

[(Anonymous)]

alas, but no. Interfacing is used in the embroidery process to keep the fibers of the fabric stable while being stitched (I have an embroidery machine and have done custom work for 15 years). OP is probably feeling that interfacing more than the thread, in fact! The kind of iron-on that would cover the back-stitching has a low adhesive setting, so it would peel right off the first time OP wore it - it usually peels off while I'm working to sew the garment, which is why I utterly hate iron-on. It almost never survives washing, which a pajama top would need a lot of, sigh.

It can be fixed but it's probably going to have to be a sewn-on patch of soft fabric like flannel or fleece. I hope the other anon can help, if they have a faster technique they've used versus anything I could idly brainstorm.

tw eating disorders and disordered thinking

[(Anonymous)]

(First, I'm sorry about your pajama top, OP!)

I've got a meeting with a local eating disorders outpatient team tomorrow, and I'm worried and slightly skeptical. The last organization I approached about ED recovery only helped me for three weeks before deciding I wasn't worth the effort, and I'm worried history's gonna repeat itself here. If they decide I'm not "severe" enough to be worth their services, I'm not sure what I'll do, but I know it probably won't be pretty - especially since I'm so opposed to being "weight restored" right now, cus I'm so bad in other ways that being thin is my only foothold into being an acceptable person and I can't lose that :(

Re: tw eating disorders and disordered thinking

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt

It took me way too long to find a place that would actually accept me for treatment, I was turned away several times then the two treatment places I went were kind of hit or miss. I am now in recovery from anorexia for the last several years, though I still live with disordered thinking and the health effects of my past behavior I have a much better relationship to food and my body these days. I just want to say please don't give up, keep looking for help, use what you can get out of the help to make it a little further, until you can get better treatment or you're in a more stable place to help yourself. It can be so fucking discouraging and I nearly gave up many times because I felt so unsupported in my recovery, but I'm glad I didn't, things slowly turned around for me for the better. Hope this is a helpful response and it's okay if you aren't feeling optimistic, I know how bad that situation feels. Good luck anon.

That's annoying. I hate that kind of thing (the embroidery).

I was supposed to work here in town, 11pm - 7am, but they called and asked if I would do a 7-7, and take the individual to the next town over for a sleep study.
Which basically means I'll be hanging out in the hospital for 12 hours.
Which is weird because she's her own guardian and can self-advocate and check in on her own and that was the plan, so i dunno what happened or why the staff that is the 'lead' in that house isn't taking her, instead.
Weird. I shall be wearing comfy clothing and taking my personal laptop but still...meh. Hospital.

A car hit our car in the parking lot. Everybody’s fine, but there’s an ugly dent in the passenger side door and now we have to deal with insurance and I hate it.

I love my mom dearly, but sometimes she just does stuff that makes me shake my head.

The cat begs for (human) food. She gives the cat as much of it as she'll eat. When she's full, she walks away from it, and then throws up. Like, yeah, Mom, you know this little piggie will eat until she is overfull, and then puke, so why don't you cut her off after she's had some?? I know it's hard to tell that sweet little face no, but you're not doing her any favors!

Re: Venting Thread!

[(Anonymous)]

I feel you on this, my dad does this with my dog and it's so frustrating. My parents' dog is a little garbage can and can happily eat whatever you give him but my dog has a more sensitive stomach and will throw up if she eats too much. I'll tell him not to give her too much and he'll sit there just feeding her more food and then I have to clean up the puke.

Re: Venting Thread!

[(Anonymous)]

Unfortunately, when people do this it's about their selfishness being prioritized over the cat's well-being. They feel good about giving a pet food they enjoy, even if it's bad for the cat/dog. It makes the human feel... wanted? Powerful? Loved? So they keep doing it even though it's unhealthy for the cat/dog and will ultimately lead to health problems and a shorter lifespan for the animal.

Re: Venting Thread!

My sister's mother-in-law throws food on the ground to feed my sister's dog and my sister hates it. Her dog will often throw up if she eats scraps/human food, and of course my sister will have to clean up the mess. Even when she asks/tells MIL not to feed the dog, MIL doesn't care.

Deep breath

STOOOOOOOOOP ACTING LIKE YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE FUCK YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WHEN YOU ONLY KNOW A FRACTION OF WHAT IS GOING ON AND NO ONE EVER ASKED YOU ANYWAY!!!!!! BACK THE FUCK OFF IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING!!!!!!!

I didn't write this and it probably isn't about my narcissist parent, but wow, it totally could be... (My sympathies, anon.)

Re: Venting Thread!

My Christmas actually didn't suck, which was a nice relief.

But before the break, someone at work got all panicky about a client who waited until the last minute to complain about something, PLUS wanted to talk to someone on the phone NOW NOW NOW. I wasn't even involved in that whole mess because it's not my area, and it pissed me off they wanted to drag me into it. Like, goddamn dude, literally there is someone handling your case right now, you don't need to be making all these calls to push things forward, especially if you waited last minute.

And this is why I don't work in customer service. The public fucking sucks (sometimes).

I'm dreading tomorrow and crossing my fingers this shit has passed and has been taken care of. (Yes, I am shit at customer service, did I mention this is why I don't work in it?) I also hope there isn't another fucking last minute holiday bomb waiting this week either. Just PLEASE BE COOL, PEOPLE.

CW talk of childbirth, abortion, infant mortality, etc.

[(Anonymous)]

I lost major respect for a You Tuber I used to think was a good source of information even when I didn't agree with all her opinions. I can't agree to disagree anymore when one of her opinions is "pregnant people can do whatever they want with their bodies whether they're planning to have the baby or not, so I am neutral on birthing methods that can endanger the life of both the parent and child :)"

I support the right to have an abortion for whatever reason you want, but if you are pregnant and plan to have the baby, I think you have the responsibility to take care of the future child you chose to carry. Or even if you didn't choose to carry it and are doing so only because it's illegal. Want it or not, that's going to be a child with its own body and rights to bodily autonomy as soon as it leaves your uterus, and if you're doing things while pregnant that are known to cause lifelong health problems or premature death because "its my bodyyyyy" then you are unbelievably selfish and I hope karma gets your ass. I don't believe in legal restrictions only because that's a slippery slope that could lead to policing innocent people for doing any harmless thing while pregnant, but I do get fucking angry and judge the fuck out of anyone who thinks it's morally okay.

I am SO TIRED of waiting to hear back from a job! Either let me know I'm not gonna get it or just let me know I DID! Anything is better than this stupid silence.
