I’ve looked back to see if there have been any updates on 10 year old Amy Mihaljevic’s 1989 unsolved murder. I will link a recent article that quotes her dad, who is turning 80 soon & wants to finally know what happened to his daughter before he dies.

For those unfamiliar, Amy left her school and walked to where she was abducted from, the Bay Square Shopping Center. in the Cleveland suburb of Bay Village, Ohio on October 27, 1989. Amy’s remains were found months later, 02/08/1990, in a field fairly close to county road 1181, Ruggles Township in a rural area of Ashland County, OH. An autopsy would reveal that Amy died of sharp force injuries (multiple stab wounds.)

If you read a lot of true crime, you likely know Amy’s case by its sad circumstances: a man had called & spoken with Amy posing as a coworker of her mom’s, telling her Amy’s mom had gotten promoted and offering to take her to buy a gift for Amy’s mother to celebrate. While the caller told Amy to keep all this a secret, this is known because she told her brother and a friend.

I’m frankly not here to do a synopsis of the case—really, I wanted to share a gofundme by the Mihaljevic family (verified) to raise the funds for modern advanced DNA testing to try and find answers before her dad passes away. I’d share a video posted on Father’s Day of Mark Mihaljevic, a clearly elderly man, speaking about her, but it’s against sub rules: google will get you there though.

Every penny goes to the Bay Village Police Department’s Amy Fund—these are extraordinarily advanced tests than the norm & most cost over 6K each, so the family is trying to make sure LE have every financial resource necessary to get this case finally solved sooner than later.

I have no affiliation with any of them, I’ve just seen so many “lesser” gofundme’s quickly generate so much $ and it breaks my heart to think that an 80 year old man living with 37 years of such heartbreak has to be the one trying to navigate the internet to advocate for her. It’s been up for months & yet it is only halfway to its goal. Please help if you can & SHARE AROUND

Hello, I had old lipstick I was foolish enough to use several days ago & likely a small cut near my lip, and I quickly developed impetigo. Googled it, figured that’s what it was and the telehealth doctor I saw two days ago after. Got the topical antibiotic ointment: too tired to check the name on the box, but it’s been mentioned here often.

Even after the first night of me applying the ointment l, I woke up yesterday morning to the lesion already looking so much better. I felt fine til yesterday evening, when I suddenly was exhausted.

I saw telehealth again today because since yesterday evening, I’ve felt very run down, achey, spaced out and stiff. I have an autoimmune disease for connective tissues that tends to flare up when I’m ill. I took my temp this morning: no fever. It’s absurd how sick, tired, sore and stiff I feel, it’s pretty much flu-like in severity.

But according to the Internet, much of this subreddit and the doctor from earlier today, I shouldn’t feel like this from a topical infection. I was told to go see the clinic in person if it gets any worse.

I feel like I got hit by a truck: it’s hard to rotate my body, to bend down to get things I’ve dropped or to hinge over to get things out the fridge or the lil gymnastics act that is daily stuff… like getting dressed, for example. I am moving so much slower than usual too. Has anyone else experienced this? Btw, I don’t need to be told to go get further help right now: that’s exactly what I’ll do if it gets worse, and the doctor told me to if it gets worse.

(And me finding this flair called “triggers” after typing in my title seems to indicate yes…)

Hello—I’ll start with saying that my mom has horrific RLS & has as far back as I can remember, she takes what I believe to be about the max dose for Gabapentin to treat it, but it only works to a certain extent. Hers was severe enough where she at least used to wear holes in her bedsheets from the constant friction of her legs way before their shelf life, so to speak, for wearing out or thinning a lot due to age.

Over the past year or two, I’ve had a few instances each year of terrible RLS myself, and there can be no doubt that’s what it is. The last occurrence was last night: I was absolutely miserable from it, moaning like I’d been stabbed in the stomach or something, and I have a high pain tolerance from having connective tissue and joint issues… I’m used to being somewhat uncomfortable, but this sucked so, so hard: it made me very anxious & trapped-feeling.

The other times it’s happened, I’ve learned to run a hot bath even if it’s like at 3AM & it’s helped immensely to sit down and soak in the tub for 20-30 minutes.

Anyway, I recall the last time it happened was from nicotine withdrawal. This time, I was dumb enough to smoke a pack of cigarettes after a long time without. Anyone else have their triggered by very specific things? I think antihistamines like Benadryl, especially if I take more than one, are a trigger too.

Any tips and tricks if it happens tonight or tomorrow while I detox the cigarettes from my system besides the hot bath?

Finally, does yours get triggered/worsen with GI issues? I feel like crap today & have had to run to the bathroom several times: maybe coincidental, maybe not. And has anyone with severe RLS started out that way & noticed it became more prevalent/common over time?

I loved this show my whole life: I’ll be 33 soon and I’ve always had a fairly turbulent relationship with my dad, though that’s improved a little finally in recent years. One of the times I think back on fondly from childhood is watching Courage with him—he loved it too (& as an adult, no wonder: it was absurd, I’d love watching it with my child too.) I remember rushing laughing and laughing at “just keep soaking it!” I still send him clips as an adult every so often. My dad can be such a serious man, but that show cut through & was a real bonding point for us all those years ago.

I dated them 5 years apart & they never met one another. They’re from different regions, but were born only one day apart. Both did a lot of damage to me & made me realize a lot about myself that I had to learn from. For the last few years, pretty much ever since I met the one I dated second (almost 3 years ago) it’s funny: one pops up to reconnect periodically & when that stops, the other one appears. It’s happened several times that way with contact attempts. I have no feelings for either at this point & I know they’re here to karmically remind me of something, of choices I’m making, of areas I’m settling - “oh so is this what you want? Because you’re acting like that.” Again, I’ve grown a lot since I’ve dated both. Have you ever had things like this happen? What does it mean to you?

Hello, my DNA from Ancestry has been tied for years to the Donegal region—it’s now up to 20% specific to your county. I’ve been reading more about it as I’m an American with little sense of my actual roots. Looks to be a gorgeous, rural place. I believe my grandmother’s maiden name was Gallagher & that’s a common surname there, correct? What can you tell me about Donegal in general? I know that’s very vague but a list of facts & pictures online is one thing while hearing from those who live there is usually quite another: I’m curious about what it’s like. Is it true that it’s more Gaelic/Celtic in its culture than many other parts of Ireland, and if so, do you think that’s due to the geography or some other influence, as someone not well-versed in Irish history beyond the Great Famine & the Troubles… thank you in advance for any contribution!

Hello, moved here from the east coast 3 years ago & just saw a story about an adult male who drowned in the Cherry Creek* (edit: chatfield) (edit again; adult males—this afternoon in Cherry creek AND last week in chatfield) reservoir. Recently, there were also children that drowned there—those incidents were much more understandable, if very sad. But apparently this adult male was classified as a “strong swimmer.” I guess TBD if something like a medical emergency where he lost consciousness could’ve played a role.

But I’m starting to wonder if there’s something I simply don’t understand about that body of water, as someone who hasn’t swam in it before & didn’t grow up here. Is the water unusually cold or something? Maybe I take for granted having grown up getting to swim in the Atlantic every summer & basic swimming lessons as a little kid. But truly, even summer vacations in the lakes of upstate NY which people recreated and swam in, drownings didn’t happen on such a regular basis. Are drownings with full grown adults described as able to swim skillfully an anomaly? Is it city people not being precautious enough?

Sincere question: I was warned about Resurrection Bay in Alaska many summers ago for the low water temps and the muscle cramping that can happen because of it, but the reservoir has to be man made, right?

33F, 5’1, extremely active, yet stuck between 150-155lbs/for how small I am, about 25-30lbs overweight for *7 months straight* because of my binges that nuke/nullify all the heavy exercise, clean eating & calorie counting I normally do. Like many of you, evenings & night time is a trigger. I have terrible insomnia. living in the city afar away from family and friends the past 3 years, I tend to get shit delivered via DoorDash. This has become a huge burden for me: it’s a big waste financially when I don’t have it like that, & me being so short, I have a stupid low BMR &, even with how active I am and on days I go all out in the gym, I still ultimately nuke the deficit I. need at my height to lose weight. if i have a few good days, even a week or two, it’s become the case that there’s inevitably a time I blow it in a night or two.

i know this story is all too familiar to yall. I am horrified by how compulsive & out of control feeling it’s become for me: I don’t let myself think at all when I order it or consume it in a sitting or two. it’s gotten to the point where I look straight weird to myself because I have super muscular, nicely-toned legs thighs, yet as someone who carries weight in the middle, I have a big belly & a shelf of abdomen fat beneath my boobs, like a little second pair lmao. at one point, 2020-last few months of 2023, I had abs... I’m so mad at myself & I don’t understand it. yes, I’m very prone to depression & am on meds. yes, I have experienced trauma, am very stressed the last few years & I do know that deep down, I tend to do this to have a little shot of dopamine & it’s one of the only (non) “affordable” ways I can feel self indulgent.

I’ve always been weird about food. I was chubby as a kid and would hoard food in my room. I can eat the same shit for weeks until I’m suddenly sick of it, I can suddenly get the wrong idea about the texture of a food or something and get turned off it for months (tends to be right after I cook a lot of it too, ugh,) and I hate eating in front of other people. I’ve eaten primarily in my room for years, even living alone I still do it.

I had a period of seeming normalcy in my late teens & early 20s. Then, after I went though a long term relationship break up 10 years ago, I lost my appetite entirely for about a year and was down to only 100lbs (I’m only 5’1, and although not super BMI-underweight, I looked sickly on pictures.) I’m at my heaviest ever right now & I’d like a better relationship with food, this treat yoself mentality thats ruining my life & to stop being so self defeating. I literally take high dose stimulants for ADHD, have burnt roughly 300-650 calories/day in exercise 6 out of 7 days of the week the last 2 months & I’m the exact same weight, I hich is fat: what the fuck, you know? I have a PROBLEM

so TL/DR what works? has anyone on here overcome it successfully? I‘m freaked out by how much I have in common with yall sorting posts by top/all time… I have a very obsessive personality across the board too. what insights do those further along in this journey than me have to offer? what treatments? I need to go back to therapy for sure, so that’s a given: lots of trauma & dissociation issues that I know play a role, I wonder if bingeing shitty food is how I ground myself when I’m so in my head most of the time. but meds? mantras? therapy types? good things to look into to get better? thanks for reading this novel-sized post (here’s my “all or nothing“ state of being showing its ass yet again…) & any and all info offered up.

Nelnet services that had their loans put in forbearance last year… anyone else confused? I got voicemails last month to making sure my contact info is the same. obviously SAVE is coming to an end & we have to pick a new plan around July 1st, to my understanding. I dodged those nelnet robo-voicemails to verify contact info for a few weeks because I‘d just lost my job so obviously wasn‘t in a position to speak with them & choose IDR like I’d planned without getting another job first & I knew I had time back in May.

I finally logged in today to inspect how bad it’s gonna be come July & it says next payment is now not due til late 2028, that I don’t have to IDR recertify til june of 2027 & I’m in forbearance under “SAVE Plan Pause Forbearance?” will this not change til july 1st or something? why mention that I don’t have to redo an ISR verification til 2027 & I won’t owe due to forbearance pause til the end of 2028 if that’s not necessarily true as of two weeks from now? do they expect everyone to just listen to trump blather on to know?

I screenshotted every little bit of what I saw today to have as proof but is this just incorrect or what? they have been glitchy with my loans several times, including emails that I’d owe payments again last summer that never came to pass/were the wrong dates in the email body once I actually logged in to the account itself. I should be thrilled because if the tough spot I found myself in recently, but instead I’m stressed because I don’t know whether or not to trust what I see on the Nelnet portal at all & I don’t want to be penalized & have my credit go to shit, or to suddenly have to cough up a vast sum of money per month because I didn’t speak to a rep and took this portal at face value. ugh I hope this isn’t a stupid question but I just want to be sure

And not only that, but they are coming to my city in late October in a cool, but relatively small venue (my favorite.)

I fell in love with Space Song in 2020: it came on a Spotify radio channel & I listened to it over and over again for a few weeks. it colored the whole experience of August/September of that year that I remember in this very visceral, nostalgic way. the sound is like, euphoric sadness and that’s exactly how I felt at the time. I also really dug Solaris. I remember finding the band’s Wikipedia page and I guess I didn’t read too closely: I’d thought the break up back in the 90s was permanent.

Failure somehow fell out of play & I just was reminded of them today for the first time in I bet 4-5 of the last 6 years. they‘re just as powerful of a listening experience as I remembered it to be. sonically perfect and really good lyrics, too.

The more I listen, the more I love. Fantastic Planet in its entirety was perfect. I will dig into their newer stuff this week. tbh, I don’t expect that anything else could come as close to being as good to me, but any recommendations among their newer material that I should check out first?

Stoked that they have a subreddit!

Attention women of Denver! I have been one of you for damn near 3 years now, but I need your help!

I am very well into prematurely graying at this point, which is terrible with having such dark hair. I‘ve always colored my own roots with Sally 3-4Ns & at a loss in a new area, I’ve just gotten trims at Great Clips for cheap since 2023. They have done their last half assed job on me last month (to be fair, I got what I paid for, but the long pieces they miss curling behind my ear has become a real pattern.)

I need your recommendations for still pretty-affordable local stylists. I have wavy, thick hair for not only a basic cut, but I want to also try to explore bringing back an ombré and gray blending. Thank you in advance for any and all tips!

I got let go on the 30th from a new job after advocating for clients to the wrong person.

I have experience in non profit, case management , being a teaching assistant in an elementary school for special education, retail management, sales… I’m a very hard worker.

my lease is up on the 29th. the apartment complex already is re-leasing my unit. I don’t have a cushion financially and waiting for unemployment to process.

I don’t know what to do—please help with places you know that are hiring. I was terminated only for doing the right thing above self preservation, which was admittedly a mistake.

I don’t even know how to handle updating my resume, if I should at all. I only worked at this new place for a little over a month. thank you in advance for any and all tips and job leads
