You wouldn’t worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do.
Thank you for the motivation
When i was younger (before kids) i read a lot - mostly Stephen King and classics and it’s still what i really like. Kids are grown, but i have a hard time saying, “I’m going to sit here for an hour and read.” There’s always something to do…bills, husband, animals, house, yard, etc. and when i veg I mostly turn to mindlessly browsing my phone because it’s 2 minute chunks that you can put down anytime. After 15 years of working at the same job i just found out that my lunch break is 60 minutes instead of 30 - maybe I’ll bring a book and try to use that time to read.
I have a friend who teaches high school history and has traveled a lot. She’s great at this! I feel like i can talk to her about almost anything and she never makes me feel stupid.
I dunno…distractions, too much commitment, feels indulgent,… ? Just got a book for my birthday and read the first 100 pages aloud in the car because my husband and son wanted to hear it. Now it’s been on my coffee table for two weeks and I’m struggling to pick it back up.
We love darts. If you find a good dart bar you can have a couple of hours of fun for the price of a soda. During covid we hung our board on our backyard fence so we could have friends over for game night.
Oh man. I wish i could read a book!
Wait for a loud part of the movie and then cough while you open it.
Pulls out tape measure…
I asked a couple of months ago and it was about 60m/40f, and age landed with over half being 30-55.
I’ve leaned to put myself to sleep by concentrating really hard on relaxing and blocking out other thoughts. I take 5 breaths focused on 'am i comfortable? - good position, pillow just right, temp ok; then i take 3 breaths focused on relaxing each body part starting with my foot- feeling it sink into the bed, working hard to not let other thoughts creep in. I’ve never made it to my head.
I didn’t realize there was a time limit on the non-payout. That’s good to know. Friend of a friend just took his life and I’ve been worried about the kids. Hopefully they will be taken care of.
We would lose a lot of art and creativity, customer service at every company would be empty, everyone would believe they’re too smart to work basic service jobs so infrastructure would collapse. Lots of high IQers have pretty low motivation, especially for things outside their specific interests, so I think we would have very fast cars and really good recreational drugs. There are some who believe that the increase in autism comes from similarly minded people procreating, so that could be an issue.
I don’t think they’re more weird; just different weird. Every gen has different shit they deal with and react to.
How long have you had the issue? Sometimes people have symptoms but the cause is more than just that area and can be impingement higher up from poor posture, or from repetitive stress, etc. With my insurance it would be cheaper to see my primary, get a referral for PT, and try that for a few weeks before going to an Ortho. Also, remember that surgeons do surgery - it’s how they pay their mortgage.
I worked at a golf course in Florida in college. People would come from much hotter places and start out walking. After 9 holes (or less) they were begging for a cart.
Internet says to touch the screws on a light switch panel.
Super reasonable! I’m not out until 2 every night, but I was excited to go see some great live music and we were home by 1230. My kids rarely drink - they learned lessons in their 20s that i didn’t learn until my 40s. I’ve shifted more towards cannabis, especially during the week - better sleep and no hangover.
There’s really a product called soylent? What color is it?
