Hey guys! It's been a month of living in Omaha I moved from Texas. I have to say that I'm having a terrible time looking for Dill pickles brands in jars. I only see kosher pickles in stores! Baker's has a store brand Dill pickles but it tasted terrible, I been to Walmart, target, baker's, family fare, hyvee and some Mexican groceries stores. Anyone have tips on finding 'Best maid' pickles jars in stores? Amazon is selling them for $22.57 (almost 4 times the price) idk if it's worth it.

I have always wanted to see them at the Gorge after my Dad and my sister went a few years back and wouldn't stop raving about it.
I don't live in Washington, but I've been slowly convincing myself over the past month that I need to get out there for the dead shows.
I don't know anyone going, but I figured I'd reach out to all the reddit homies to see if I can make it happen.
Found a hotel in quincy I can crash at, and tickets I can buy.
My only hurdle right now is figuring out how to get to the Gorge on Friday and back to Seattle on Sunday/Saturday night.
Does anyone happen to have any recommendations on how I can get over there, besides getting a rental car by myself?
I am more than willing to compensate for my share of gas, rental fee, etc if anyone has an open seat in their car!
Any help/advice or much appreciated. Much love

Hi all!
Found this group after starting to plan a trip to volcano bay for the first time. Have been to Universal + IOA many times but never got to venture to the water park.
Planning this visit as a surprise to my husband for our wedding anniversary!
Have a couple questions:

1. I am generally terrified of roller coasters (think big steep drops, upside down flips) - I couldn’t tell you where the fear comes from but have been this way since I was a child. Have even been forced on rides, survived obviously lol, yet the fear is still there and I don’t find it enjoyable. (For context, I’m not against rides, I love stuff like Harry Potter where it’s mostly screens/illusion, Spider-Man, the simpsons, etc)

How are the water slides/which ones would be considered more “scary” that I should probably avoid? The water coaster seems to be popular but is it truly a coaster in the traditional sense of big drops or relatively mild?

1. Typically at Disney/Universal/IOA you can wait in line and then jump out to an exit at the end. I have done this for rides I truly refuse to go on, is this type of thing an option for the water rides? Of course I’m hoping to be able to do several of them, but my husband loves all rides and may want to go on some that I don’t, and I’d like to at least be able to wait in line together.
   
2. Is getting there with early access (staying at universal property) worth it/necessary? I was debating a premium chair but the cost I was quoted was insane (literally more than a night at the hotel lol) so was thinking maybe we should utilize the early access to ensure we can find a free seat. I’d like to get there early anyway but wondering if it’s something I should stress over or not. Will be going on a Monday.
   
3. Speaking of free seats, do people just leave their towel/non-important items, on the chairs while riding rides? Planning to get a locker for phones/money/etc but curious how you keep your seat when you’re off venturing.
   
4. Is the water on the rides heated at all? Would hate getting in and out of freezing water lol
   

Any other advice is welcome :) TIA!

There’s no way Josh stops on his way to get a few drinks before going to his hotel.

“She said, ‘I'll throw myself away. They're just photos after all.’ I can't make you hang around. I can't wash you off my skin. Outside the frame is what we're leaving out. You won't remember anyway.”
“I can go with the flow. Don't say it doesn't matter. With the flow. Matter anymore. I can go with the flow. I can go. Do you believe it in your head?”
“It's so safe to play along. Little soldiers in a row. Falling in and out of love. Something sweet to throw away. I want something good to die for. To make it beautiful to live. I want a new mistake. Lose is more than hesitate. Do you believe it in your head?”
My memory is actually going to shit if I don’t remember much about what happened. All I know is that I was charged a second time for the Camp Flog Gnaw VIP tickets so that’s definitely not a good thing, still haven’t had the time to make a refund.
I continued writing on a song of mine, started to freestyle a bit while on the shower for some reason. I don’t know why, but most of my ideas when it comes to music usually begin by me just fucking around in the shower. No wonder the water bill here is awful lmao.
I ended up heading to work at around 4 PM. Want to know the fun part about that? My brother didn’t tell me that I was actually staying over for the night since I got to work really early the next morning.
So after my work day was done, god, it took me so long to remember that I worked a dinner at the night time. My brain has just been fried lately. It definitely might’ve been the protein shake I had the next morning.
Anyways, the dinner went well, only concerning part was how bloody the steak was. It’s usually cooked medium well, but I felt so bad once I saw how red it was… like I had to apologize to a man because the cooks fucked up.
Once my brother, uncle, and I cleaned everything up. I immediately hauled ass to my home. I didn’t have time to take the bus home and another back so I took an Uber home. I spent the next 8 minutes frantically packing up some fresh clothes I could sleep in, a poor excuse of a dinner and breakfast, and the things I need for my morning routine. I didn’t even manage to pick up a whole razor, I just bought the blades with me. But I did somehow had the time to pick up my package that got delivered, my QOTSA merch got delivered, it’s fucking nice.
I was so happy when I checked my phone and I saw the bus would be a bit late. Have my father and his girlfriend a quick goodbye. These times are the only times I want them to be late.
Riding out the bus this late reminded me of the last time I did it back in 9/10/22 over a friend of mine. I’m kinda cringing as I look back on it. Crazy how you can get along with someone well for years and it just all crumbles in a few months. She’d only really text me sometime afterward because I looked similar to a classmate of hers… Even I knew that was too much disrespect….
Anyways, the passengers were wilding out. I overheard this lady talking about how:
She “was born and raised to suck dick.”
That has to be the most out-of-pocket sentence in my life. I was fucking BAFFLED when she kept going on about how she was being honest. “Honesty is the best policy” is what she kept saying to herself. Many people found it funny, but who didn’t? Oh, the fucking uncomfortable teens who were sitting right next to them as they kept talking about genitals and shit . I just turned up my AirPods since I couldn’t bother to hear what else was going on.
I arrived to my hotel room at around 10:40 PM. I took a shower, got my things organized, and had an awful time going to sleep. Those pillows are straight ass, I should’ve bought some more clean clothes, that would’ve been a better pillow than what I got. I ended up waking up like at 2 AM, ended up going back to sleep though.
Song Of The Day: Queens Of The Stone Age - Go With The Flow

For context, I (37F) and my husband M (38M) have been married for 18 years and have been poly for 10 years on and off. My husband and I don't have any Poly or open marriage friends or are even involved in any groups so I don't have anyone to talk to about this. We have solely been living this lifestyle based on our hearts, we haven't really discussed this with anyone so I'm not sure what we did wrong.
We have been on and off seeing our partner V (55F) for the last 6 years. We have always been publicly open with the world and our family about having her as our girlfriend and partner. My husband and I have two kids and they have met and love her as another mother. Everything was going well a few years ago, we talked about having a wedding ceremony and moving in together. At the time she decided she didn't want to move from Jacksonville, FL where she lives to Texas where we live so we ended up splitting up for several years.
She was/is married and from what she's said he's abusive (mentally/emotionally) and was afraid to walk away due to them having children (currently 21&24). We recently reconnected 2 months ago after several years of not speaking with her reaching out, saying she has changed and is ready to move forward. We have been talking since she reached out, but she still hasn't left her husband and has not told anyone about us or being poly. We are a secret in her life while we are very open about her. We give her everything she needs and try our best to make her feel included even though she is 1000 miles away. Recently she asked M if he would be willing to divorce me so that they could get legally married. M stated he wasn't comfortable divorcing me but would be willing to have a wedding ceremony, add her to our bank accounts.. essentially everything that happens when you get married except without the legal document. She wasn't happy that M said he wouldn't divorce me and stated she wanted a legal paper commitment before she blows up her whole life to move down to Texas to be with us. She is in therapy and abuse class, so she's working on herself but said it was a trigger for her that we said no to the divorce. This ended up being a huge then and her yelling at us about how we don't truly love her and aren't willing to sacrifice for her to be happy. She then said she was done and didn't want to be together anymore. This set my husband off as he is the kind that when you say you're done he's not going to be chasing after you like a teenager, we are grown and you don't just quit when you don't get your way. She hasn't spoken to me in 3 days and has my number blocked but is still messaging M trying to get his attention. I'm completely heartbroken and confused as to why she's pushing me away when all I want is for us to all be happy together. She said we aren't committed to her and this relationship unless we divorce and she legally becomes M's wife.
**A little background on our previous issues. She has issues with M and I being physically intimate together without her and doesn't want to have sex as a group either. She said she sees me as a threat and the enemy when it comes to M and her. But in the same breath says she loves me and can't live without me. She has a lot of triggers that we have to tiptoe around and be understanding that we try our best to take all the anger thrown at us and forgive her every time she was upset.
I am hurt, M is hurt and she’s hurt. I feel like no matter what, nothing seems to be good enough and we keep failing. We haven't had anything as serious with anyone but her so we are at a loss. Any advice or thoughts would be helpful. I need an outside perspective from people who are successfully having happy healthy relationships. What should I do?

Name is Emily Egg cracked recently In FL which isn’t great Still, enjoying figuring out being a woman. It’s been nice reading all the posts here. I’m the lone transfem among a pack of transmascs so it’s nice to see others like myself. Just wanted to say thanks for that. Good luck to you all. Hopefully things improve for all of us. Apologies for the rambling I’ve been up for a rather long time. Plane rides and all that. Just a bit sleep deprived. Looking forward to the hotel. Just wanted to say something. You all are lovely.

I took 3mg of melatonin last night to try and sleep in my hotel room. I suddenly wake up in the middle of the night and start “hearing” someone rummaging around my hotel room, and I’m convinced it’s a person on drugs or with dementia, and I try to scream at them to get out but I can’t move my body or make sounds properly.
This person suddenly very visibly shifts into a staff membe maintenance person standing right in the doorway and they’re jerking off to me. I’m terrified but at least they are enjoying me?? I literally could not tell if this was real or not and it was honestly kind of annoying. I’m barely able to tell them to leave. Then they vanish into thin air. Fuck this shit lol.

i had what i am sure is a stupid idea, and i just wanted people who actually know about laws to poke holes in this plan before i try to go through with it.
for starters, i am in texas. the basic idea is that i would start a company which i would then transfer the ownership of my car to. i would then have a contract written up for me that basically states that i am renting this car from the company for a certain amount per month, and in that way i would be able to use it all the time, but when any gas expenses, repairs, or otherwise come up for the car, i would pay for them as the business, with the intention being to make all expenses of the car tax deductible.
im sure this is an idea that many people have already thought of before, and there are probably a million different reasons it wouldnt work, but i wanted to make sure before i present this to a professional if i do decide to go through with it

Hi all, I'm looking to move in to a new apartment in mid/late August, and it seems like the competition for housing around that time is really steep. Is it realistic to be able to secure an apartment around that time, or will I end up living in a hotel/Airbnb for a month? Is it best to start renting a place now and eat the cost for two months?

I originally posted this in Work but realized this subreddit might be the best place for it.
I guess I should give a little context. The place that I am going to quit soon I have been working for 3+ years. I started working there when I turned 16 and I am currently 19 years old. As I am legally not allowed to state the name of the company, I can tell you that those from Texas would know exactly which place I work at. This place is notorious for having the worst customers, not giving any fucks for their employees, and being slow. The one that I work at is exactly that. Though, we have become one of the best chains in my area in the past year and a half. That doesn’t mean it has gotten any better when it comes to the treatment of the workers. As I do have a lot of good things to say, the bad things outweigh the good. Here is a list of the reason why I am quitting.

1. The Pay. I am currently getting paid $14.30 an hour. My issue is that there are workers who have only been working there for a few months, don’t give a shit about their jobs and it shows in their work, yet they are getting paid $16 an hour. We aren’t even allowed to talk about our pay with each other without us possibly getting written up.
   
2. The utter neglect of my well-being. I am to work the outside lane at my work in Texas summers, even though they know I have a rare skin condition that makes being out in the sun very uncomfortable and can make me seriously sick. I am also extremely overworked when I am on shift. I am the only one who cleans everything we are supposed to clean and when I don’t clean one certain thing, even when there are 3 of us on that station, I am the one who gets chewed out. I am always being watched and being picked on by managers when I take 5 seconds to get a drink of water, etc.
   
3. The mishandling of my allergy. In November of 2022, I found out that I was allergic to the hand soap at my work. More specifically, I am allergic to formaldehyde and fragrance. Because of this, I began bringing in my own hand soap to wash my hands with so I wouldn’t have any allergic reactions. When an auditor saw me using my own soap, my store was knocked points. My GM decided to, then, put me on unpaid “medical leave” until HR decided whether or not I could bring my own hand soap. This took almost 3 weeks and anytime I contacted HR about what the status was, it was radio silence. Eventually, HR told me they had no accommodations for me and just to keep using my hand soap. Three weeks, no pay.
   
4. Creating problems that I have no part in. My boyfriend and I both work for this company. This has never been a problem and we don’t even communicate at work. More than half the store doesn’t even know we’re dating because we don’t speak to each other. All of a sudden, our GM makes my boyfriend and I aware that neither of us can become a team leader (one step above where we are now) unless one of us quits. Along with this, they also told us we are not allowed to take off the same days as each other anymore. Our GM went as far as to call us “selfish” for trying to take off the same days 2 months in advance. This is has never been a problem and there have been multiple couples at our store.
   
5. The customers. I have been screamed at, threatened, and even had burgers thrown at me. Management still tells me “Just comply.”
   

The reason I am asking how I should write up my 2 weeks notice is because I want to be as professional as possible while still stating the major issues with this store. And yes, this is a fast food place.

I paid my rent last week on the 3rd in a total of $911. Today I get a notice on my door that says I have $713 worth of unpaid rent and that I have to vacate by the 11th. I’m in complete shock as my bank statement shows the payment I gave them and the payment receipt email my apartment complex gave me as well.
I look deeper into my portal and see the full receipt for that $911 payment and realize most of it went to NSF fees worth $300, general late fees, utilities, a little over $100 for mays rent (which is weird because I ended up paying that in full after it was late ?????), and over $200 for June’s rent.
Leaving me with $629.55 left to pay for June’s rent + an $83 late fee. I have no Idea what to do, I get paid weekly so my checks are small and I don’t have the money to pay it. I’m gonna get evicted and I fear I won’t be able to use my lack of knowing how my payment was being applied as an excuse in court. I’m 19 and this was my very first apartment, I have a rocky relationship with my mom and no other family members to live with, I’m completely devastated right now.
Any help is appreciated.

Why can’t they release D4 for the switch?! I travel constantly for work and Diablo would be the PERFECT switch game to play while staying in the hotel.
Why does it seem like the switch universe always gets boned and big games just say “nah” and pass up releasing for switch.
I get not wanting to put money into making those dumb little floppy discs the switch uses…. But just make it a digital download the. -.-

So you may remember me as the drummer who tackled Siberian Divide, the end goal being to perform it as my school of rock graduating senior song. Unfortunately, the MD said it was way too hard for the senior section to perform. But! I submitted another Mastodon song, a pretty fucking catchy and good one that will be really fun to perform: Bedazzled Fingernails.
I do want to say this though; if there are any guitarists, bassists, and vocalists in the Dallas Texas area willing to team up with me and make a cover of Siberian Divide, I wouldn't be opposed.
