TIFU (well the order was earlier this week and it arrived today, so today I realized I fuck up?) So my father in law had been getting Hello Fresh meal kits for a few years, many of them were spoiling before he got around to making them. We decided to switch to Factor so he could just put them in the microwave and have a decent meal. We cancelled the meal kits more than a month ago but earlier this week I finally got around to ordering the Factor meals. I get a text from the company telling me my delivery is on the way, but it is from Fresh Prep? I think it must be a parent company or a local contractor and move on with my day. It arrives, I open it and find what amounts to groceries in a delivery driver bag. I look up the website Fresh Prep, see I have an order with them and wonder how in the fuck I possibly registered with, picked meals from, and then gave my credit card to a totally different company than the one I was looking for? I can see how the websites use a similar color s...

Technically a yesterday i fucked up but close enough. I have narcolepsy and have been diagnosed for nearly 6 years now. I take stimulants to help keep my body awake and regulated so I have less troubles in my day to day life. Now imagine your me getting shaken awake by my wife at 6 am telling me that her water broke and we needed to get everything prepared so we could head to the hospital. So I grab the hospital bag, I grab her meds, I grab my blood pressure medication but I forgot to grab my stimulants. 6 hours later the world welcomes my beautiful baby boy and the moment he is handed to my wife, i drop. I got so overwhelmed with emotion my brain decided to take a back seat for a moment. I woke up about 15 minutes later and found out I hit my head on the side rail of my wife's bed. I luckily didnt break my face over or anything but I have a nasty black eye. Let's just say photos with the baby have been interesting. I cant wait to tell him those story when hes older. He...

So last night was Halloween. I F26 recently got out of a relationship (within the last 3 months) I haven’t really been doing any dating and went out on the town in Anoka, MN with some friends. I met this guy M22 that seemed really nice and we hit it off. One thing led to another and he asked me back to his place. I had some fun and met his cute black cat. Then he drove me back to my hotel where my car and friends were. Buttttttt I left my keys and wallet in his car. I tried chasing after him but he was too fast driving away in his muffler less tiny car. I think his name was Kelton but I’m not sure if that sounds real or not lol. I think he works in glass working. I just really want my keys and cards but don’t have his number. He has mine but hasn’t reached out yet. I know he recently got out of a relationship he was in since he was like 15 and lives around here. He also has a sheep in wolf’s clothing tattoo. If you know this man please help me get my things back!! I would be so gratefu...

TIFU, this happened a while back when I was in high school in the 1980’s. one of my good friends, Oleg, was a recent immigrant from Russia. He would tell me stories about how things were back where he came from, often teaching me the Russian word for different things as he went on, things like common slang and the common swear words and so on. One day when we were hanging out, Oleg was telling me about phone etiquette, things like what to say to either of his parents when I called him on the phone. (Neither of his parents spoke English very well at all). He told me “don’t use ‘Привет,’ (Privyet, a too casual, friendly greeting he taught me to use with him), use ‘здравствуйте’ (zdrávstvuj, a more formal, respectful greeting) He told me to say “здравствуйте (zdrávstvuj) Olega Moshna? Best he could translate it for me was “Good afternoon, evening or night, (whichever) is Oleg permitted to use the phone?” - a very respectful request. He helped me with the pronunciation until i got it r...

So, this happened recently, and it’s a solid reminder to always double-check your medication bottles. ​I take Magnesium B6 for everyday stress, and I'm normally supposed to take 3 pills a day. Well, one day I took my 3rd pill and hopped in the shower. When I got out, I felt super out of it—major brain fog and dizziness. I looked in the mirror and my pupils looked a bit weird, but I just brushed it off, figured it was regular fatigue, and went to lie down. ​A while later, I woke up with terrible stomach cramps. I managed to get to the bathroom, but felt so dizzy and weak that I practically collapsed (my mom had to help me get back to my room). I ended up feeling sick to my stomach multiple times while my parents panicked and tried to figure out what was wrong. ​The next morning, we went to see the doctor to be safe. While explaining what I took, it suddenly clicked: I had accidentally swallowed four pills instead of three that day! The doctor immediately went, "Ah, mild m...

Edited for grammar I took my dog for his normal afternoon walk today and ran into a sweet neighbor of ours. I don’t know her all that well but she is always so kind to my fur baby and we have had a few good chats. Today was no exception until I made a huge ol’ donkey’s behind of myself. To set the scene, we had just briefly touched on politics in passing (with the election and a resident MAGA nut in our community it usually comes up). So my mind was already in a space of thinking about bigotry, etc. Out of the blue she starts talking about how her family celebrates her brother who “transitioned at 8 years old” on Halloween because it is his birthday. She said that they used to mark his transition day in September but it is so close to her birthday they decided to focus on his actual birthday instead. It all seemed like a bit of intensely personal and unnecessary information but, hey, I’m an ally and if she wanted me to know then it is what it is. I tried to be supportive as I a...
