You need to meet people in person at meetups, like your local run club. No bots there.

Your comment is ironic because someone else said this ladies group was a social replacement for religion.

As an atheist, I think it's pretty natural.

Reply to comment by applebeesknees18 in LPT Request: How to stop over eating and have more control over my diet? by Vq-Blink
Every fat person I know eats their emotions. And every skinny person I know loses their appetite when stressed. So I suspect that weight in either direction is a stress response.

We shrunk the ozone hole. We can act when the problem (look at this hole) and the solution (reduce certain types of emissions) are well defined.
The problem with climate change is that it's too nebulous: "This weather is getting weird because we enjoy too many modern conveniences." Like seriously, wtf does that mean? It's like the modern secular version of, "God will smite us because we have sinned."

I'm still shocked that we got a covid vaccine in less than a year. I thought that sort of thing only happened in movies.

However long it takes- using picture cards or any other learning tricks, you should make them memorize it. That way if they ever get lost etc., they can ask a store employee to call you. by v-shizzle

That's like the opposite of CBT-i. Or maybe it's exactly it. I'm not sure. You're definitely hacking your sleep environment.

What you need is CBT-i.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy removed my need for prescription sleeping pills. It breaks exactly the night time panic spiral you're describing.

Reply to LPT Request: How to keep a cleaner home by bschumm1
Any chance you can get a dishwasher? You can both put dishes in it throughout the day and then you can run it at night. Your fiance will like how it prevents dishes from piling up in the sink, and you'll like how it's one daily task.
If that's not an option, consider a pair of dish racks (clean and dirty) or similar. If you can keep things organized throughout the day, that will make the kitchen cleaner. A place for everything, everything in its place.

Reply to My company provided me a brand new laptop with a user manual DVD. The laptop does not have a DVD player. by kalutheace
This reminds me of an employer who distributed training videos on VHS tape in 2006. Only my coworker who lived with his parents and their ancient home theater could play it. Everyone else was limited to DVD players. My own home only had a computer with DVD-ROM.

I just find this article sad. Her parents and siblings died, along with at least 35,000 other people in the earthquake. Her mother gave birth, labor probably induced by the earthquake, and then slowly died next to her.

This is why it's good to see a pelvic floor therapist. One symptom can be caused by different biomechanical issues, so you need a professional to determine which one is at fault.

Con: It's a lot of money. Can you afford it?
Pro: It's pretty.
Pro: You can hang it on wall? (Be sure to use a good mount and stud finder for something that heavy) So it shouldn't take up much space.
Will it make you happy when you see it every day? Imagine moving out of your current home in a few years. Does the shield come with you? Does it give beauty to subsequent homes?
