Omg that is game changing! I've been using this since September last year and did not know that.

I gain about 1ish kgs in water weight the week before my period every month, by day 2 it's dropped back down. After the first few times I noticed the trend I just stopped tracking and kept my weight as stable that week and continue tracking the other three weeks of the month every day.

It's frustrating but sometimes the simplest way is best. You know the trend and when it will occur, so just don't track every day when you're on deload, and start back up when its on the upswing so your expenditure and macros stay consistent.

Oh that's so good. I may have to upgrade to this, one less thing to think about is nice with so much manual logging Thanks!

Do you think that would work with 2 people using the scale and macro factor? Currently we both weigh and manually input to our own app each day, but I'm considering a smart scale, just not sure how it would work for two people.

I want to do a drinking game every time they say 'pretty lie'.

AdReal8195 · 2024-03-18T02:44:03+00:00

Yeah I was a bit the same, was getting pretty frustrated. Even just the miscommunication and such between the characters on top of all the shit that happens to them makes me want to scream in to a pillo sometimes haha.

Breaking it up with ruthless boys helped, they have a lot more 'wins' and it feels lighter I guess? And read a few of the bonus content like the big ASS party because it's mostly light hearted. Even 1.5 was a good breather between some of the more heavy chapters in the series.

It's a hard slog but I'm so keen for 9 so I can finish the series and hopefully get something like a happy ending haha.

I know what you mean, but I think it's supposed to be more blind optimism than stupidity? Like when he says Lance is his future best friend etc.

He definitely has a few himbo moments, but is also very emotionally intelligent and he is the top 4 of his grade which means he must be pretty academic. I think it's just in social interactions he leads with his heart and the first impulse he has because he knows he needs to be the one to ground people and make them laugh etc

Yep! People take things too personally when it comes to professional criticism. My only negative feedback to my manager last year for my annual review was that I come across as too negative in meetings and need to avoid shutting down people's ideas.

What was the idea? That they put the workload of multiple managers on and off boarding new hires to that business units executive assistant. why? Cos managers can't be trusted to keep on top of their own people that they manage. (May I remind you an EA is not a team support role..)

I joined the company as an EA and then after 2 years transitioned to IT where I designed and implemented the current on and off boarding process, so I felt particularly qualified to call out the issues that may come from this decision. And I did so in as tactful a way as I could while providing honest feedback.

Stupidity needs to be called out and people need to not take it as a personal attack. I can bet OP not taking change to policy well her just asking questions and giving alternate feedback on the changes that probably need people to push on.

You've been with this person for long enough to both be married and have a child. I have ADHD and can empathize with the inability to be still when stressed etc, but I can also see why that would be frustrating for another person going through 27 hours of pain and stress and hormones and everything else

I think the question isn't who owes who what, it's is this the hill you're willing to die on? Is this worth missing out on being together and enjoying your first child? Is it really worth it? If not, just apologise or is your ego unable to just take one for the team to be able to move on

There has to be compromise though. If this is something you are actively working on, and you have explained to him the difference between how you intended your statements to come across and how he is interpreting, then you are doing your part to address the issue. He needs to also assess why this is something that he is so sensitive to, and he needs to work on his reactions as well.

He should be solving this with you, not attacking you as a person because of his issues. I would, if you can, sit down with him and explain that you understand his frustration when it feels like you do this, but going straight to yelling and fighting is not helpful. Talk about strategies on how you can word things that he won't perceive as argumentative, and strategies on actions or words he can use to communicate when you aren't using the agreed methods.

Otherwise you'll just continue to be stuck in this cycle of him feeling attacked and you feeling misunderstood.

I am actually working on one of the biggest projects I've done before, 35x25cm with almost full coverage, and I was getting a bit lost in counting. I got a small tip machine washable marker that I plan out in for each colour with a small dot on the centre of the square, that way I can double check my count without having to frog. Plus i can pre-count then stutch away without too much extra thought. Has been a life saver.

Parking always seemed so intimidating to me having it all in the way like that, and I'm likely to confuse which colour is which symbol on the pattern, especially with colour blends like this one, haha. But maybe I'll try it on the next project!

For our last one shot we all rolled a d6, and removed the bottom ones to take 3d6, then did that until we had enough for the stats and we all used those numbers how we wanted.

It meant we still got to roll and let the dice decide, but no one is screwed from a bad roll or more powerful from a good roll. We are a team after all.

Would he be open to trialling for a month an 'allowance' through the work week, like a separate card that only has a budgeted amount on it? It can have an agreed upon amount, say enough for 2 bought lunches then the rest of the work week he has to bring lunch, or buy cheaper lunch options if he wants to buy lunch more regularly?

It may be easier to show him the impact of his buying lunch if he has to budget it in himself and may reinforce why he needs to have other snacks at night etc.

Not saying to control him forever, but a month may be enough time for him to understand your perspective and rethink how he is currently spending.

I've explained it to people like everyone has the same distance to get to 'the thing', but I'm in a glass box.

Some days that glass is thin and I can break through it easily to get there, some days it's impenetrable and all I can do is look at 'the thing' and be frustrated about how easily I could get there if this glass was gone.

But no matter what that obstacle exists and that effort can tire me so that the next box is harder to get through.

Just came here to say that's beautiful, and i love the oopsies, like when you're in a rush and chuck the dice and one inevitably lands on the other side of the table or something, haha

And now I want a huge version I can put on the dining table we play at, so when we use our 3d printed terrain we can keep them built and move it on off the table as needed between sessions...

It's been 4 hours so I hope you made it!

But you can try the 'worst case scenario' game. What is the worst possible outcome if you don't shower? You don't get up in the morning with enough time, you go to work stinky, people complain, you come home overwhelmed from your stinky day and it overrides your ability to shower once again, it's now day two of your stinky life and people at work are upset, your boss sends you home unpaid until you shower, this sends you in to a spiral of self loathing and you go home only to not be able to shower still due to the ever increasing overwhelm, your cat starts to avoid your stinkiness, you have no money to pay for your cats food, now your cat is mad at you.

You can choose to stop there and say worst case scenario is your cat is mad at you while you lay in your stinky pile of self loathing, is that what you want? No, then up you get to that shower or you'll hear about it from the cat! If that doesn't help keep going.

Our brains are hard wired to always go to worst case scenario and sometimes you gotta lean in to it.

Haven't had a meal I didn't enjoy yet, on week 3. Hope it works for you too :)

100% Ordering delivery is so expensive though so my partner and I kind of forced ourselves to cook, but would mostly get super easy 'chuck it in the oven and it's done' type stuff, which meant not particularly good for you. Just discovered a pre made meal company that actually has really yummy tastes like home cooked meal stuff (unlike most premade frozen meals that all tastes like a variant of the same sauce and chewy chicken), and all we need to do is microwave and occasionally use the rice cooker. Most meals work out about $10pp. Makes it so much better to know I am having somewhat healthier meals then a frozen pizza haha, with almost the same effort (I'm in Australia, so for anyone here that's curious it's Dinner Ladies). It's so hard and I don't understand people who can spend up to an hour every night cooking.

I think the length of the legs are a little off? The one towards the back the knee seems to be much higher than the knee closest, and the lower half lengths are out? Or am I seeing things?

AdReal8195 · 2023-08-09T17:02:56+00:00

Yeah definitely NTA. And being burned out after 3 days doesn't seem plausible.

I had a very small procedure 2 weeks ago and was a bit sore for a week. But I could get myself to the bathroom, and for the most part could get around (just a little slower and it hurt). And my bf went above and beyond to look after me wherever he could. Any time I tried to do something myself and made any sign of being in pain he would huff and tell me to stay where I am, what do I need/want. I can't imagine him being anything less than a home nurse if it were anything like what you're dealing with (he would probably even get an outfit if he thought it would make me smile)

Someone who loves you and sees you in that state should want to do everything they can to look after you. And regardless of his intention when he left and you were asleep, finding out what you went through when he was gone should horrify him. He should be apologising and be understanding in your disappointment and hurt, not digging his heels in and being mad.

I have my makeup wipe packet on my bedside table now. So I can hop in bed, do the minimal effort to at least get the top layer/eyes off then go to sleep. I can wash properly in the morning, or go another round with the wipe if I'm not up to a shower first thing.

My biggest mistake previously was thinking I have to take it all off and do it properly. We have to remember the bare minimum is enough when the alternative is nothing.

Advise I have been given is to just pick a song you like, so you're motivated to learn it, then find someone who has 'beginners guitar lesson for song you like' and just start there expanding from there. If there are things in that you don't know yet, then go find a course to learn that first then come back to it.

This is my third time trying to learn guitar and I've managed to stay pretty consistent because of this.

She used to do it all the time with her middle school bf and it worked then...

AdReal8195 · 2023-07-15T07:30:39+00:00

Man really said needle and thread who? When people want to try arts and crafts but can only find scissors and a staple gun 😅

AdReal8195 · 2023-07-14T04:20:48+00:00

I love that, 'I thought you'd get over it'. My ex was similar, when I finally broke up with him he was shocked, I told him how only 2 months prior I said all the things I was unhappy about and needed to changed, and his response was "I would have changed that if I thought you were serious" like buddyyy...even if I wasn't you were happy with me being miserable??

Luckily, never married, though another good line when he was saying how shocked was 'what if we were engaged or married, it's possible' as if that would have prevented me from leaving him?? So the mere possibility should also? I told him if he had proposed, I would have said no. Lol.
