Nail salon in lenoir city tn

I've been wanting to ask this for a while but wasn't sure if it was allowed, if it isn't obvs please let me know.
TL;DR I'm very hard on my nails and am hoping for tips to have longer lasting nails that won't tear up my nail beds, ensuring I can get them year round?
I'm am owner operator of a small dog grooming salon so my hands are in water and soap all day and I am always bumping them on stuff etc. Also my natural nails are not naturally very thick. I've really only gotten gel (before i did this work) or acrylic nails with gel polish over the years and I find the latter is the only thing that truly lasts more than a couple weeks. I get a fill every 3 weeks when I'm getting them done. I've noticed many add on like getting chrome powder or designs make them chip sooner so I don't get them. I generally get oval or ballerina shape. Still, I'll have 1-2 fall off between fills.
I often have to stop getting them at some point and let my nails heal because with the nails that fall off they just start to get too thin. I haven't had them in 4 months now and I MISS MY NAILS SO MUCH.
My question is, is there anything I can do in the type of nails I'm getting, the place I'm going, the amount I'm going, in between care etc that will enable me to keep getting them year round? I've only tried polygel and dips at home and they literally just peel off or start to crack after one day of work. Help!

I was at a nail salon yesterday, and there was an episode of dateline playing inaudibly. I only caught parts of it due to where I was sitting, but it seemed that the victim was an Asian woman/teenage girl. There was a text exchange shown where a man texted a friend to come over and specified “no sex”. She seemed weirded out and responded something like “lol no sex? We’re like brother and sister”. At the end, there was a thin blonde women in a prison uniform. The impression I got was that maybe she and a boyfriend had conspired to murder the victim? I wasn’t able to find the right channel in TV listings to see what was playing.

Our goals for a beach vacation include ocean time, beach naps and alllllll the food. We stayed at Crescent Beach but hopped all over the place for activities, food etc. Figured I'd share the places we ate and my thoughts :)
Columbia restaurant - I've been eyeing this place every time I've visited, so I finally made a reservation and tried it out. It's a gorgeous restaurant and I was in awe of the building. The service was great. Food.. not so much. I had the Cuban sandwich, gazpacho and a mojito. The sandwich and gazpacho were both very bland, and the sandwich was boneeee dry. The mojito was tasty but not mind blowing. Glad I got to see the inside, but I wouldn't come here for a meal again. Maybe I would for a mojito though! Also ugh the area we were seated in had a distinct urine smell, and the bathrooms reeked of urine too
Black Molly's - we had a good meal here a few years ago so we tried it again. It's cheaper than most of the other places in/around St Augustine. I got mahi mahi and it was overcooked. My partner got a fresh catch (idk remember what) and it was also overcooked. Edible, but wouldn't eat here again.
Mango Mangos- I like the vibe here. The service was good. Seemed like a bunch of locals which is usually a good sign! We got the coconut shrimp to start which was okay, nothing special. The meal was fine. But the key lime pie!!!!! It was the best I've ever had
Caps on the water - the views here are amazing, and it made for a nice romantic dinner. The service was top knotch. The she crab soup was delicious, maybe the best thing I ate the whole trip. I could eat that soup every day. I had salmon which was good & my partner had the sesame seared tuna. He raved about it and says it's the best tuna he's ever had. We ended with the key lime dessert and it was good. We started too strong with Mango mangos key lime pie and everything else paled in comparison haha
Violas- we didn't make a reservation and definitely should have! We had a long wait on a Wednesday night, but we enjoyed it here so much in the past that we decided to wait it out. Good service & the owner bops around to all the tables which I thought was cool. The food is good and the portions are massive (which now that I think about it, almost everywhere we ate had big portions). We'll continue to eat here when we visit in the future but we'll be making a reservation. We took key lime pie & fried cheesecake back to our condo and they were both good
Llama restaurant- I was excited to try this place out and made reservations 2ish months in advance. They nailed the decor. Otherwise, I felt it was way too cramped and LOUD. It was hard to have a conversation and I couldn't hear our waitress. We started with ceviche- it was my first time having it!- and I enjoyed it. I had the surf&turf dish and my partner had the lamb. The lamb was overcooked. My meal was okay, but had a lot going on and I couldn't eat very much. I ended up eating the noodles when I went back to the condo, but the rest I just picked at and ultimately ended up wasting it. Our waitress didn't check back with us to see how the food was, and we decided to leave without getting dessert because I just didn't want to stay there longer than necessary. It has a pretentious vibe to it imo
Sunset Grille- we went here a handful of times on our last trip so we knew what to expect. We had the mahi/salmon spread - something I normally wouldn't order - and it was delicious, especially with their datil sauce. I ended up buying a bottle to take home. I had the lobster pasta which was too heavy for me (I ate a few bites before I boxed it up for later) but I liked the flavor. And of course got the key lime pie! It's oddly pricey here, I was surprised by our bill
Kookaburra - we got coffee here everyday. Love the vibe and the staff. Wish I could take this place home with me!
I got lots of recommendations from this subreddit, so thank you all for the recs & for sharing your beautiful city :)

My partner is classical musician who had a rough ride over the last few years as orchestra jobs are almost impossible to get. They have a masters. They also have chronic depression and PTSD. We dated for a year pre-covid. Became really serious during Covid and beyond. Four+ years total.
I started supplementing their income a few months before Covid (a hundred dollars here and there) because I could see how hard it was for them to get basic needs met.
During the first days of Covid they got triggered. All their roommates fled the city. They moved in with their father in the suburbs and received the covid government stipends. I had no financial participation in their lives at that time. I got a new apartment with my daughter in the city. (I share custody with my ex who lives three blocks away. Daughter is 9). They would visit and it was great.
My partner then moved upstate with friends as they no longer wanted to live in the suburbs or the city (loud and expensive). While upstate, they could not meet their bills as work continued to be hard to find. I suggested instacart etc but they also had a reason why this didn’t make sense. Largely — their mental state.
I began to heavily subsidize their income at this point ($1k-$3k month) and picked up their insurance costs atop. Now they are on my policy and getting good care.
After awhile, I moved them into my apartment in the city because I could not cover two homes, two cars etc. I now cover all their costs including car insurance, nutritionist (they have IBS amongst other things), vacations, food, etc. We have lived together now for six months.
They agreed to be the homemaker. They get groceries, get the cat nails trimmed, move the car for parking and keep things tidy as their contribution. I have a cleaning person who does deep cleans every two weeks. My daughter is not part of their responsibilities. She is at school or after programs for most of the day. Myself, her dad and sometimes babysitter (been with us for years), take her to after school, organize playdates, etc. I also pick up after myself, garden, buy food on the go, and also do laundry and dishes etc as needed.
My partner’s mental struggles and medication makes them sleep a lot. I find it hard to walk in on someone sleeping in the middle of the afternoon if I am working from home. Or to not be able to use the bedroom on Saturday because they stayed up all night and now will sleep till noon or one. Resentment is creeping in.
My partner has been agoraphobic since moving back to the city and rarely leaves the apartment. I forced them to yesterday. I hate that I did but oh well….! I find this unbearable. I admit I don’t love living with other people as it is and need time to decompress and recharge. The apartment is more like a condo with two floors and three bedrooms. And yet, I find very little alone time since my partner does not work, volunteer and seems really reluctant to leave the house or make friends. (They have 2-3 friends in the city but rarely see them). I feel like their only person in the world. And yes — I bought them a membership to a game night, I find classes they could take etc. Nada.
I found them a lawyer as it seems like employment is out of the picture. They have stopped playing music all together save 1-2 lessons a week. Not orchestra gigs or session work anymore. They have applied for SSI and it looks very likely they will receive after their hearings last week!!!! SSI in my state is almost nothing but it feels critical as it will help them get other benefits and provide some check stability through their life.
I love my partner! They are kind creative and have really high emotional eq and my daughter likes them but —— I am so stressed I have developed a medical condition of my own which can be greatly improved with lifestyle and nutrition changes. My partner is very supportive of me doing this and the low sex drive that comes with this condition. I hate this piece and am working on getting healthy!
I am at a loss. I want to support my partner but that increasingly feels bad. I can be too much of giver.
Has anyone been in this situation and what did you do? Have you stopped covering costs? Has anyone moved someone out and still stayed together? Any conversation tips? (We have had a few but it is time for a big one)
Any advice at all please.

I (30f) have been with this guy (42m) for 8 years. He is never gonna love me. Idk why. Maybe I just am not a loveable person. I try to be…..I try to do all the right things….but it’s always wrong.
I keep begging him….to show me he loves me. Not tell me. But he doesn’t.
I want to leave. I keep trying to leave. Last night I REALLY tried. But he has threatened me with becoming a “bad dad” meaning he is just going to do the bare minimum I guess. No playing, no extras. Just being a provider….and then telling the kids that I made him too sad to do anything other than that.
He also threatens me by saying he will let his mother babysit. His mother is an extreme alcoholic who actually hit my daughter and called her a “b*tch.” When she was 8 months old. On our WEDDING DAY. Because she (my daughter) was crying!!!!!! She also allowed our child to play in dirt barefoot while they were going through TREATMENT FOR CANCER. That little dirt play session got my kid a staph infection, and then a 15 day hospital stay. She wouldn’t apologize. He took his mothers side.
He is not physically abusive. And almost never yells/screams. And because of that. He thinks he’s a good guy. But he is mentally, emotionally, verbally, sexually and financially abusive to me.
He won’t let me get a job….I had a job set up at this hair place in my city and he literally sabotaged it. I lost the job before I even started it. But he also gets angry at me for buying myself extra stuff. Or if I buy the kids another toy. He lost his shit because I bought salon quality shampoo and not the $1 Walmart stuff. He verbally battered me down about my weight so bad…..I weigh less than the average 10 yr old. And now he calls me disgusting and boney. I wasn’t even that overweight to begin with…..
Every SINGLE time I am upset by something he said or did…I’m wrong. I’m overrating. I’m playing victim. Where do I go from here? What do I do? I GENUINELY fear him letting his mom around our children. I haven’t had a job, or my own income for 7 years….I literally have nothing…..I’ll stay. For 15 more years. Before I EVER let his mother alone with my children.

In the 2030/2031 season, we finally tasted Champions League glory for the first time ever. While comfortably defeating teams like St Etienne, Fenerbahce, and Salzburg in the league phase, we struggled in the domestic league, conceding goal after goal. After 10 league games, we found ourselves in 15th place, just 3 points off the relegation zone.
As we faced the challenges of the league, the Champions League became an unexpected source of joy and triumph. Our group stage draw was daunting, including powerhouses like Manchester City and AC Milan. It seemed like an insurmountable challenge, but we embraced the underdog spirit and gave it our all.
Against all odds, we stunned Manchester City, securing a memorable 1-3 away victory in the league phase. It showcased our resilience and determination, igniting the belief that anything was possible. Then came our encounter with AC Milan, a team with a storied history. We needed just three points to secure a top-eight finish, and the unthinkable happened—we humiliated them with a resounding 5-0 victory! In the Round of 16, we faced them again and emerged triumphant with a 3-0 aggregate win.
Our next opponent was Gladbach, and despite a 2-0 home loss in the first leg, I had already given up hope. However, in a stunning turn of events, we rallied in the second leg, securing a remarkable 3-0 victory away from home to advance to the semifinals. There, we faced Newcastle, led by Ballon d'Or winner Alejandro Garnacho, but against all odds, we emerged victorious with a hard-fought 3-2 win.
But the fairy tale didn't end there. Fate had its way, and we found ourselves facing our bitter rivals, Bayern Munich, in the Champions League final. They had previously destroyed us in the DFB-Pokal with a 7-0 scoreline. It was the ultimate David vs. Goliath showdown, and we were determined to upset the odds.
The final proved to be a tightly contested affair, with both teams displaying exceptional skill and determination. We fought tooth and nail, never giving up, and in the end, we emerged victorious with a thrilling 1-0 win over Bayern Munich! The scenes of jubilation and pure ecstasy among our players, staff, and fans were indescribable. We had etched our names in the history books, forever remembered as the team that conquered the Champions League against all odds.
Now, let's talk about the league campaign, which was admittedly a challenging and humbling experience. Our struggles continued, and week after week, we faced moments of frustration and disappointment. After losing three consecutive games against teams around us, I was convinced that we would be heading down. However, you simply can't write off this team, and in a remarkable turnaround, we won our last six games, securing our survival by a comfortable 10-point margin. Just to remember we were predicted to finish third.
This incredible journey stands as the best thing I have ever witnessed while playing this game. So, my fellow managers, remember that success can come from the unlikeliest of places. Embrace the underdog mentality, and never stop believing in the power of determination and teamwork. Football is a game of surprises, and the impossible can become possible.
Thank you for joining me on this exhilarating ride. ( I might have used ChatGPT as I suck at writing so pls forgive me :) )

Brace yourselves, this is gonna be a long one.

The Main Goal:
Well if you’re browsing this subreddit then much like me, you were alone this weekend and I’m sure you’d like to change that as much as me. I won’t lie, I am going through a rough part of my life right now. It’s difficult for me to find the energy for anything at the moment and I’m just really seeking affection in general, anything that will give me a push. I don’t want to be that person who brings everyone down but I could really use someone to talk to right now. I’d really like to find someone who’s similar to me so much to the point that we do everything together and talk about everything while not having to pretend to be interested. I want someone with whom we can mutually spew our emotions onto and have those feelings reciprocated. Not an emotional punching bag, but an emotional teddy bear to hug and cuddle until everything feels better as many times as we need. There’s people who I’m sure have told you the same, they’ll be there no matter how many times you need the support, no matter how many times the insecurities and bad thoughts come back but they don’t mean it. I will be the exception, I’m not so ignorant to think some nice words and tales of relating to you will magically forever heal whatever ails you then get mad when you seek the same support again. Mental ailments are rarely temporary and I don’t care about someone because they’re perfect, caring about someone means being there no matter how many times they need you to be. It doesn’t feel like a chore, it doesn’t get old, and it never will.

(2.a)
What I'm Seeking:
I will upfront let you know if I’m clicking better with someone else or if you’re the one, I’m not here to tread the sea of fish or keep my options open, I’m here for one singular person.
(2.b)
Relationship:
A relationship is difficult for me right now, it’s been nearly half a year since I got out of my last relationship and the reasons for it ending are partially responsible for how I’ve been feeling and why it’s so hard for me to seek the comfort I so desperately crave. I will tell you about it but for the sake of not treating the entirety of the internet as my therapist, it’ll be in private. I really need the comfort of intimacy and the warmth of someone who cares. I'm not going to feel better if I just sulk and don’t move on. This is my attempt to get better, I’ll admit I’m not great right now and I don’t expect you to be either. If we can help each other heal, then I’d be more than happy :) A relationship isn’t just being there for when someone’s at their best. Even if a relationship is hard at the moment, I do want a life partner and I don’t want to be alone. Things aren’t going to get easier without you so I don’t want to hesitate. I view my other as an equal, I don’t like categorizing us into specific roles. We take care of each other and treat each other how we like to be treated, whatever that is, it's as simple as that. I don't care if you're "successful" or not, living simple lives with our days filled with love is the ultimate measure of success to me.
(3)
Personality:
(3.a)
On the Surface:
As you can tell I can be rather… stoic but that’s largely due to my current stressors, I truthfully am goofy and fun loving but I just can’t find it in me right now. I want to return to that but without someone to light up my world it’s been difficult to just have fun and enjoy stuff. I’m definitely more introverted, you won’t catch me at any parties or really outside at all. I definitely prefer being home though the occasional outing is not out of the question and one day I’d like to travel to other countries because I think that kind of perspective is important.
(3.b)
The Core of My Being:
I like being a spectator to it all and if we bear witness to humanity burning or its miraculous recovery, I want to watch it with you. I enjoy watching humanity advance, less so when it devolves but I want to watch it to the end nonetheless. I’m both a realist and someone who lives with my head in the clouds dreaming of scenarios or worlds that don’t exist. I’m saying that I enjoy a good narrative and can suspend my disbelief to enjoy something but you won’t catch me refusing vaccines or ignoring blatant facts for the sake of some pseudo science or witch doctor’s remedy. I’m an atheist but I do not rule out existence after death, not because I’m agnostic but because due to the nature of potentially infinite time at some point after how many googol years with a googol amount of 0s after that, something’s bound to replicate your consciousness perfectly at some point. It’s actually a really fascinating topic I like talking about. If infinite time and infinite possibilities exist, does non existence exist? Though that’s an awfully existentially dreadful thought process considering the ramifications of infinite existence and infinite possibilities during said infinite existence. I would say I’m confidently left leaning and I don’t think I could truly get along with anyone right leaning, at least America’s definition of right leaning. Left and right seems to have just become; do people deserve to suffer or do they deserve to live good lives? Being political is not something I expected to become but how can you not be when crimes against human rights are being passed on a daily basis and at the end of the day, everything’s political. Oftentimes I imagine the perfect moment as relaxing with my significant other playing games or cuddling in a cold room under blankets.
I value that special someone above all of the existential thoughts, the bad of the world, the good of the world, they practically become my world. So many worries wash away when I’m with them. I don’t know if that’s the defense mechanism my brain created to not feel bad 24/7 but if it is, I’m currently without it.
(3.c)
Insecurities:
I talk of philosophy and politics here but really I spend most of my time just playing games, watching stuff, and trying to not be sleep deprived. I’m also nowhere near as well spoken, heck sometimes I feel like my speech is broken. I won’t claim to be something I’m not, I sit at home while I complain about the world doing nothing about it wishing I had someone here with me. I’m not noble nor do I really want to be, I have morals I uphold but much like most other hypocrites I acknowledge that my comfortable life is built on the suffering of others without doing anything about it. Why? My sleep problems? Am I depressed? Is that why I have no energy to do anything? Do I just think nothing I could do could help? I can’t nail it down myself, maybe it’s a mix of everything, maybe I’m just a bad person. I have always told myself that if I had wealth I would help people but if I get that kind of wealth will I just become a wealth hoarder who tries to justify my riches as something I earned rather than something given to me through incredibly lucky circumstances? If I do help people is it because I’m a good person or out of guilt? Will I die alone? I feel like I drive everyone away with my clinginess, I get paranoid often and need reassurance often. It’s something I want to work on, something I’ve been trying to work on. Hearing that someone cares about me just never gets old. I value self awareness even if it’s painful.
(3.d)
Socializing:
I’m definitely a socially anxious/awkward mess, especially around strangers. I do feel a large amount of anxiety in public, people can’t tell by looking at my face since I kind of go stone faced in an attempt to block everything out but yeah you’ll notice that if we go out in public. Growing up my pediatrician said I was probably autistic, never got a formal diagnosis so that’s just great. But yeah that explains why I can’t make eye contact with people, I kinda just stare at the ground and avoid their gaze at all costs. A lot of these social struggles go away to a great degree once I know you for a bit but yeah I apologize for how terrible I am at socializing at first. Don’t let my social struggles fool you though, I love cuddling and being close with my person.
(3.e)
Sexuality:
I am a heterosexual male, though I’m not very masculine like at all. I may even be a bit feminine sometimes. Not that I believe any activity or manner of acting belongs to a gender but I don’t know how else to describe it. I’m definitely super affectionate and love it when my partner is too. I am open to dating demi people but I do have a libido so I don't think asexual would work out.
(4)
Interests:
(4.a)
Video Games:
As stated before, I do spend a lot of my time playing video games. It’s been hard lately with me having no energy but I really do want to play more games and have a good time playing them with you! I primarily play on PC though I do have a switch. I’m primarily into platform fighters, roguelikes, open world, survival, and sandbox games. As for single player story games, I enjoy watching them through twitch or youtube but for the most part I don’t play them myself. I’d watch you play them though!
Here’s a list of games we can play:
-Minecraft (Java)
-Risk of Rain 2
-Gunfire Reborn
-Roboquest
-7 Days to Die
-Phasmophobia
-Rust
-Unturned
-Bloons TD 6
-Platform fighters: Super Smash Bros. Melee, Slap City, Multiversus, Flash Party, Fraymakers
Whatever you want to play I’ll give it a shot! I will say that League bores me to death but I’ll play it for you :) I try to avoid MMOs, not because I don’t like them but because of how addicted I can get to them. I enjoy learning games in-depth so MMOs can be a fast track to addiction.
I recently got Kerbal Space Program 2 and ehhh not really worth it right now but hopefully later it will be? I’m super excited for Tears of the Kingdom! In the far off future I’m excited for Rivals of Aether 2 which is a platform fighter releasing in 2024, let me know of your most anticipated releases and I’ll see if I could play them with you!
Also I never got into FPS games but I could totally see myself playing like CoD with you or Escape From Tarkov. Any FPS really, I’m down.
I am a fan of Pokemon but with how things have been lately I don’t know how long that will last. Pixelmon is a common Pokemon mod I play for Minecraft if you want to play that! Also if I say I want to play something with you I mean it but there are often times when no matter how much I want to I'm just drained and can do little more than lay in bed so please don't think I'm making an excuse.
(4.b)
Science:
I really enjoy keeping up with the latest advances in pretty much everything, it could be biology, technology, astronomy, anything! I love seeing progression and I love talking about it! Really I could go on and on about what I’m obsessing about that day. I particularly love technology, ask me for my laptop specs I dare you. When I was little I always wanted to be a scientist of any kind but then insomnia and fear of college stuff hit me like a truck aaaand that’s the end of that dream.
(4.c)
Anime:
You got me, I like anime but I’d like to think my tastes are benign.
Here’s some of my favorites I can list from the top of my head:
- To Your Eternity
- Vinland Saga
- Spice and Wolf
- Re:Zero
- Mob Psycho
- Dr. Stone
- Attack on Titan
- Spy x Family
- My Hero Academia
- Ranking of Kings
- Demon Slayer
Okay I can go on and on but I will say I don’t like pointless fan service and the spamming of cliche anime moments. I mostly enjoy action and anything well animated if it doesn’t have a potato story. Heck Demon Slayer could be my top 3 out of season 2’s animation alone. I don’t watch slice of life often or romance but I would with you!
(4.d)
Misc:
I’m not going to go on and on about the tiniest little things when the main ones are covered but I’ll watch pretty much any show with you and anything really. I like random youtube videos that explain some kind of lore or mystery, sometimes mini documentaries too.
As for food I looove sushi and I’m a sucker for fast food. Okay and candy, definitely candy.
I used to play tennis but haven’t really had the opportunity nor friends to play it with and I’m way too socially anxious to seek it out. Also I will say that when we move to something like discord I type waaaay more casually. I’m not going to expect long paragraphs back and forth like we’re writing English papers for each other, I do enjoy long conversations but seriously don’t worry about having to put the utmost effort into every response, I just like making good first impressions I guess.
(5)
(5.a)
My Physical Characteristics:
I’m 5’8 (172cm), 128 pounds (58kg), with curly brown hair and blue eyes. I like keeping my hair long in the winter and cutting it in the summer. I’m pretty slim in general so if you’re looking for someone large, that’s not me. I don’t work out but my work is pretty physical so at least I’m not totally inactive. I don’t have the urge to work out or gain muscle but I do want to maintain my slim figure so if I start losing control of that I’ll work out. I like to keep my face shaved because I don’t think I look good with a beard/mustache so if you’re into those I apologize. I have an average amount of body hair? I’d prefer to be completely shaved but it’s easy to lose motivation with that battle, if you prefer shaved then I’d have no problem complying. Anyways here’s what I look like: https://imgur.com/a/MZZgf2t
(5.b)
My Physical Preferences:
Having physical preferences makes me feel shallow, if I could make myself not have them I would but unfortunately that’s now how that works. I don’t care if you’re shorter or taller than me and I don’t care if you weigh more or less than me. All I ask is that you’re slim-average weight. I would never ask for someone to be something I’m not. I don’t care about tattoos or piercings.**(6)Expectations of You (Relationship Only):**I am not looking for someone “exciting” or someone to “keep me on my toes” I’m not looking for someone to cater to my every whim or anything like that. I don’t care if you’re “boring” or if you aren’t “successful”. I know it’s a common thing for people to not want a “boring” relationship and to seek something argumentative or something with constant challenges but I just want to be with you. During the exciting times, the boring times, and everything in-between, all of it will be great with you! Maybe we do argue sometimes or maybe there will be challenges but that will never be something I purposefully seek out and I don’t want that to be something you seek out either. I will not play tricks on you and I will not play mind games, I expect the same from you. We all have personal measures of success we may or may not have lived up to but what I care about most is our commitment to each other. If we have each other we can get through tough times, near the ends of our lives I want us to look back and feel that this life together was worth more than anything. That’s not saying I want us to be haphazard, I don’t want us to make poor decisions for the sake of yolo and I want us to always be rational, especially with each other. I want you to be someone I can trust to make decisions and weigh the options with a level head, I’ll try my best to live up to the same for you. Most of all I want empathy, understanding, someone to feel the utmost comfort and trust in.

Living Situation:
Currently my life is pretty relaxed, I work 3 times a week as a night shift stocker. I currently live in a 2 bedroom apartment with my roommate but we’re looking to move into someplace larger by the end of the year if everything works out. The internet is weirdly great for Ohio too like I have fiber and later this year we’re supposed to be getting dedicated fiber so that’s neat. I’m not attached to Ohio so the ultimate goal living location wise is probably moving to a country that won’t send you into a lifetime of dealing with the repercussions from one medical emergency.
(8)
Deal Breakers:
Might as well make this simple and make it a list.
- Anti-vaxxers
- Unironically believing astrology
- Right wingers
- Hard drugs (occasional 420 and alcohol is fine, may even join you)
- Wanting children, there was a time when I was younger when I wanted children but with the state of the word that’s a definite no and I feel like I wouldn’t be able to handle the stress. I’d love a stress free life with as much time with you as possible.
- Homophobic
- Transphobic
- Racist
- Super Religious
- Don’t be a bigot and don’t deny facts.

Closing Remarks:
Well you made it, I was thinking that finding someone I’d be willing to put a lifetime of effort into at least required this much effort. If I think of anything more I’ll update the post. Also about timezones, it really doesn’t matter where in the world you are. I don’t have a sleep schedule and I have most of the week off from work so it really doesn’t matter.
I request that in your response you do put effort into it, it doesn’t have to be anywhere near as long as this but at least enough so I know that you read this and enough about you so I know why you saw potential compatibility. I will seriously read all of it and respond the best I can. I do also request a pic included in your response (sfw please) or one soon after we start talking to prove identity, I’ll send identity proving pics too. As long as this post is up, you can send a reply!

Name : Jandro
Role : Protagonist
There's dirt under Jandro's finger nails. Grime stains across his threadbare t-shirt reveal bony ribs. Eyes cast down he searches for lost cash or shiny valuables on the ground. Seeing him hunched forward hauling scrap on his back, you wouldn't guess he's over six feet tall. With ambition to his stride, Jandro walks in jolting starts, a diet of cheap n' greasy street feed fueling his nervous energy. Speaking in a soft tongue he schools himself from a dog eared nineteen seventies encyclopedia read by the dim light of a corner store lamp. Jandro’s bad habits of voicing his mind and interrupting rather listening have earned him the reputation of eccentric for his age. Beneath the disarray of hair, behind those darting eyes, blooms a handsome charismatic teen.
As a five year old during a provincial war, he got separated from his parents and a childless couple of junk scavengers found him crying beneath Jandro River bridge, adopting him as their salvage picker. Concealing the shame of poverty remained a burden until hunger broke his resolve and he resorted to foraging through trash after dark. The other children in the rag clan were desperate by nature and Jandro did not trust them. The stray kittens who’d once rode in his backpack were closer to his heart. Symbols of good fortune, the whimsical cats embroidered in yellow thread dancing around his filthy jean jacket’s collar were an emotional reminder of dear friends departed.
Two days before his fifteenth birthday, hidden in the crumbling adobe walls of a colonial church, Jandro chanced upon a hessian sack filled with silver coins. The foreign antique dealer who purchased the loot offered Jandro valuable advice, encouraging him to travel village to village, to roam far and high, asking discreet questions regarding the whereabouts of priceless mystic artefacts. This quest for treasure ignited Jandro's imagination. Legs trembling with impatient enthusiasm he couldn't sit still, jumping at an opportunity to bid the city junk trade farewell.
These past months of lone mountain roving honed his reflexes and agility. Owing to his informal nickname, with no valid proof of identity, Jandro dashed land borders before dawn and lurked on the fringe of any town he visited. Opposed to formally registering his name with the ministry he'd quietly slip away should anyone question his past. Never in one place for too long, he preferred to sleep rough, exposed to the shifting sky. Each night Jandro wrestled with the guilt of abandoning his scavenger family, doubting if pursuing his dreams was worth the risk. But on waking his morning thoughts returned to the rumors of Inca rebel gold dumped in a highland lake, or the fabled Wari tomb of animal spirits, then inspired by newfound wanderlust Jandro fastened his steel pick axe and, determined to succeed, trekked toward the far horizon.

Hello!
I’ve gotten acrylics a ton of times in the past, but I have never gotten sns. I was wondering which would be better for me to get this next salon trip/what the differences are.
I haven’t gotten anything done to my nails in about a year because the last time I did I lost an entire real nail with one - that hurt like hell, and on top of that I stock shelves, so that extra hurt like hell while healing. I really don’t want to experience that again lol. All my previous acrylics I had at my job before this one, and I never had any issues there. I believe I got them too long last go around, and I also did not have an assigned section at my store then - which means I dealt with a lot of boxes that are glued shut (much much harder to open, very easy to have the nails get caught because I have to wedge my fingers in the crack and then pull with all my might). I now work in a section where the boxes are mostly taped, and I can just use a box cutter.
I don’t typically keep up with them - it’s a one and done thing for me, and then I may go back and get them done again a couple months later if I feel like it. I just take my nail clippers to them when they get too long and deal with them not looking the best until I finally remove them or they come off on their own.
I have very short natural nails, so would need to get a tip (though a short one), which I believe can also be done with sns?
I read that sns isn’t as strong, but I’d much rather a nail break then take my nail with it.
And lastly, is there much of a price difference?

I don’t feel so excellent this morning. I’m not sure what it is but I just feel off? Like physically I mean. Am I getting my period? Am I just a bit run down? Is it the stress/anxiety making my stomach funny again? I feel a bit hazy in my head too, I think that’s just me feeling a bit flat though, I don’t feel too bad but I certainly do not wish to do anything nor talk to anyone while I’m like this. It’s so tiring to pretend to feel fine when I don’t, so so tiring, and not to be a broken record but my energy is at a forever low as it is. My therapist was telling me to not beat myself up over my energy levels, I don’t think I do but when I was describing it to her she said I spoke negatively of myself while describing it? I still don’t always notice when I’m being mean to myself, I think I do majority of the time but sometimes it just slips through and idk, it’s a terrible excuse but I don’t really know any other way of speaking to myself so it’s easy to slip back into the habit I suppose. It’s bad though and I should fight harder. I do think I’ve made very good improvements though. Anyway she said that my anxiety, my depression, my stress and my eating behaviours are all energy drainers and even just one can suck it out of someone but I have a lot of energy drainers so it’s not my fault that I’m so exhausted all the time, it’s my body’s natural response and I’m responding like anyone might when facing these factors. It made me feel better to know that it’s not just me being a weak and pathetic drama queen and that it’s a natural response to these factors. It just makes me feel better when I know I react as anyone would I guess.
I woke up with a lil B of a spot on my jaw this morning, slathering my face in oil last night so I looked like a glazed doughnut likely didn’t help as it was already semi there and this morning it’s there. But whatever. I don’t get spots often so it is what it is. I just whacked one of those new acne dot thingies on it, I’m glad I bought them now. Yay. I also woke up with a big scratch at the base of my throat, I’m not used to long and strong nails as I keep catching myself with them. They’re not that long but f me they’re really quite strong, especially my thumb nails, they barely bend at all when I force them. Anyway so I woke up feeling less than glamorous but the rest of my skin looks quite nice so that’s good. And I’ve been picking at my lip a bit this week cause of the anxiety but they’re back to normal and all soft and nice and stuff so that’s good. I’m much better with it nowadays but I just don’t realise I’m doing it soemtimes
I really feel like an orangina today, with their cutie lil bottles and all. I remember having one in some park in Paris with L and we had just got some macarons from Ladurée and it was just so nice. It was early/mid September so late summer and I remember wearing this pretty white dress (that later got grass stains) and just feeling so content. I’ve learned through therapy I feel better in big cities or in the middle of nowhere because I have a sense of anonymity, so I feel like this moment where I’m not myself, I’m just anyone. Basically, I feel more at peace when I don’t feel associated with myself. I think, and this last part I haven’t discussed in therapy, but maybe it makes me feel less shameful for being lonely, I feel so ashamed and deeply sad about how lonely I can feel and so hateful towards myself for creating this situation for myself. But in a big city or middle of nowhere, I’ll feel lonely but I feel less shameful about it because I’m physically displaced from home, so most people would be without friends or family around them asking to spend time and all of that. Anyway so I feel like an orangina.
I want to go on a trip and purely focus on healing my stress and everything. Like a solo trip or something where I just spend a week or something at some sort of workshop where I eat very well, take part in creative classes, do yoga, breath work, meditation, stretching and nature walks and do all this inner healing stuff. I know how it sounds but I’m so interested in the whole chakras and reiki and all that. I just want a week of massages, reading, swimming and relaxing. I’ve been looking at some online and they look and sound utterly magical. One is on this lush farm in South Africa and there are lots in SE Asia like Thailand and Bali where it looks incredible - I was reading the weekly schedules and it sounds so peaceful. For example one day you start with deep flow yoga on this pavilion outside overlooking an incredible view of the Balinese jungle, followed by therapeutic hydrotherapy which is like water movements and aerobics in a special vitality pool followed by laying on sun loungers. Then you’ve got restorative yoga back on the pavilion and then lastly an estate walk. And other days you have breath work classes, other kinds of exercises like pilates, cardio, walks in nature and stuff like that. And then between all those things you have free time to get massages, journal, meditate, go for walks, use the pool, read, eat and stuff. I think I would prefer one with creative things too, I feel really good when I paint and things because I absolutely SUCK at it but I find it much easier to declutter my mind. Anyway I would love to do something like that.

[WP] 1920s Speakeasy owner notices his clients are going missing and finds out his club is bing used as vampier hunting grounds. After getting over the shock undead are real, he has to take matters into his own hands to save his business.
"MISSING!" I read the poster asking for information on the whereabouts of Joseph Smith. I felt bad but I wouldn't put my other patrons or myself at risk. I wasn't going to walk to the police station and tell them last time I saw him he was leaving my speakeasy with an elegant looking woman who was definitely not his wife. Hopefully the police find something but as best I could reason its not my problem.
Looking at my watch I realize it was much later in the evening than expected. I knew I had to hurry as it was almost time to open up. When prohibition first came around I figured my bartending days were over but luck smiled on me. After closing my bar down and selling it I found the perfect location for a speakeasy. It was a small shop, just one narrow wooden windowless door at the end of a dark and sleazy downtown alley. Most people don't even know the exists there. But the little shop had a big secret. After carefully navigating the tight corridor there was a rickety spiraling staircase to a basement that stretched under the adjacent building. I wasn't sure of its original purpose but after a lot of work it was an almost perfect spot to sit and drink. I had a solid oak and brass bar rail, cozy stools, some elegant booths and a nice hardwood floor installed. The atmosphere was well lit and made it easy to forget the troubles outside. That said, being a speakeasy was dangerous business for most folks but with its elegent interior and hard to find location it was easy to grease the palms of city officials to ensure it was kept private and profitable.
About mid way through the normal hours I caught a glimpse of that woman. She had the same light skin, dark red hair, and stunning low cut red dress. The dress was how I knew it was definitely her. It was the same woman that left with Joseph a few nights prior. Tonight she was the arm candy of Jackson Clarke. She looked completely enthralled by whatever he was saying. If his wife ever found out there would be trouble, but everyone here knew better than to say anything. It must not have been another 10 minutes before they were grabbing their jackets and heading out the door together. She was hanging off him like a scarf and his grin was almost wider than his head. I could only imagine where they were going. I hoped they would at least be discret as I didn't want any extra attention brought this way. Once they were out the door I realized I had been staring so i snapped back to reality. I went back to serving the rest of the regulars before closing up shop and heading home.
"MISSING!" I stared at the poster surely it had to be a coincidence that now Jackson was also missing after leaving with the same woman. Either way I knew I had to do something. Two disappearances would bring a lot more police into town and make things a lot more dangerous for me. The sooner things went back to normal the better. I decided I should confront her the next time I saw her in my bar.
A week went by with no signs of the woman or any leads on the disappearances. With so little for the police to work with the frustration was mounting and they were getting aggressive. There were police everywhere at almost all hours of the day. My business was suffering because with the increased police presence the risk was much higher that they may get caught. I was getting stressed out. I needed answers but for that I needed that woman. I had asked the doorman about her but he said he didn't know too much. Said she was from out of town but passed all the needed checks required for entry. He even had a friend at city hall pull her records to see if she might be using an alias or be a cop, but they found nothing out of the ordinary.
10 days after she left with Jackson I finally saw her again. I decided to get the doorman to take her to the storage room before she became somebody's arm candy. I had to ask her some questions just to confirm that it was just a coincidence that she was seen with both Joseph and Jackson just before they disappeared. I watched her get grabbed and roughly led out back. I excused myself for a second from the bar and made my way to the storage room as well.
I got to the door and gathered my thoughts before entering. A few deep breaths and I was ready. I opened the door and quickly ducked in closing it quickly behind me. It made a loud thud as it slammed closed a little harder than I expected.
"OK I have a few questions for you. Depending how you answer your night could be really good or bad," I said to her.
She was seated in what was probably the most uncomfortable wooden chair I'd ever seen. She wore the same dress as before but now I was noticing something I hadn't seen before. She glared at me with piercing blue eyes.
"What do you want to know" she snapped back with so much venom in her it made the hairs on the back of my neck standing up.
"What happened after you left her with Joseph and Jackson? You were the last person anybody has seen them with. After leaving here with you they just simply vanished. It might be a coincidence but I can't take that chance; especially since its messing with my business."
"Oh sweetheart do I look like the type of woman who kisses and tells." Her voice mocking me, " but maybe if you're a good little boy I can show you just what we did."
"Don't make this difficult!" I quickly moved closer to her and grabbed her shoulders giving her a quick shake. "Tell me what I want to know!"
As soon as I touched her she completely changed. Gone from her face was a playful smile. I could only describe the expression I saw now as a wolf baring its teeth as a warning.
"Get your hands off me now!"
She stood up so fast the chair flew backwards before slamming into the ground. Before I knew it she had wrapper her hand around my throat and began lifting me up. I couldn't believe the strength she had. She stood there choking me with her icy grip. I could feel her nails digging into my neck from how tight she gripped me. Now lifted off the floor by my neck, my legs dangled helplessly. I tried to look around to see the doorman. Surely he would help but once I caught sight of him I saw he was just standing there casually watching me.
I could feel the darkness creeping in from the corners of my eyes. I wondered if this was how I would die. I tried to free myself by grabbing her arm and trying to pry her hand open but to no avail. Just when I thought it was all over she effortlessly tossed me into the wall. I hit it hard with the back of my head snapping forward and back. I slumped down on the floor. My lungs now burning as the air returned to them. My head and back throbbed from the impact. I tried to stand but I was too disoriented and my legs buckled below me.
"Let me tell you exactly what's going to happen." Her voice now completely different. Firm and powerful sounding she was in charge and she knew it. "If you want to live you're going to continue to run your little club and I'm going to keep coming and hunting here as I please."
My head still fuzzy I wasn't sure if I heard her correctly, "hunting? What do you mean hunting?"
"My god; I don't understand how you've survived this long. You're slower than a snail in molasses so let me spell it out for you. My friend here," she pointed to the doorman," and I are vampires. We're not the only ones in town but we're the only ones you'll be dealing with. As vampires we require human blood from time to time. This cute little bar has become the perfect place to find meals. Nobody talks about them being here so even if questions are asked they never lead back to us. We do have a slight issue with you losing business as that would make things more difficult. Are you still listening, nod if you're following."
My head still reeling I made the effort to look up at her and for the first time i noticed them. Sharp fierce looking fangs sticking out past her lips. I nodded as best I could. I would do anything to stay alive.
"Good you're still following. In the morning you're going into the police department and file a tip that both Joseph and Jackson were last leaving town. Pitch the idea that they abandoned their families and changed their names. With that tip the police should leave here to search elsewhere and business will resume as normal."
"Say I help you; what do I get out of it?"
"Oh you mean other than getting to live and not be todays lunch? My associates and I are willing to pay you handsomely for your discretion."
"Well staying alive and making money are my two favorite things so it looks like we have a deal," I said. I knew my fate was already sealed regardless so I might as well take the money while I could.
"Good we believe this will be a bloody good opportunity for you."
With that her and the doorman disappeared back into the bar. I dragged myself off the floor and to the bathroom to clean myself up. I'd made a deal with the devil. If there was a hell I was surely destined for it.
This was requested by a friend to be made into a series but I'm not sure how to continue so this is it for now.
