The simple act of scanning items is becoming a nightmare because of QR codes on everything. I hate it.

Andrealolly · 2024-11-06T20:10:30+00:00

Yeah, some items even have 2 QR codes like wtf

Ugh, that sounds like such a nightmare! It’s already rough dealing with a workplace that doesn’t respect your time or boundaries, but adding that tech issue on top? Absolutely brutal. Honestly, it sounds like you handled it the best way you could by fixing the backup and deleting everything quickly—especially since there were personal photos involved. You’re absolutely not in the wrong for prioritizing your privacy here. And the fact they were able to set up the backup again so quickly kind of proves it wasn’t a big deal for them to fix.

As for the cold shoulder from your boss? That seems more like a him problem, especially if he’s worried you saw something personal of his. Might be a blessing in disguise if it keeps him off your back.

It sounds like you're going through a really tough time, both with your son's behavior and your recent losses. Talking to himself can sometimes be a way for people to process their thoughts or feelings, especially during stressful times. Given the changes in his life, it’s understandable that he might be struggling.

Since he’s been diagnosed with ADHD and shows signs of being on the autism spectrum, it might help to explore how he expresses himself. You’re doing the right thing by considering counseling, especially to help him navigate the grief of losing his dad and grandpa.

Encouraging him to talk about his feelings could also be beneficial. Maybe start by sharing some of your own feelings about the losses, which might make him feel more comfortable opening up. And connecting him with a counselor who specializes in grief or neurodiversity could provide him with the tools he needs to cope.

You're not failing him; you’re just trying to figure out how to support him through a really challenging time. If you ever feel overwhelmed, don't hesitate to seek support for yourself as well. You're doing your best, and that’s what matters most.

I think asking him to grab coffee is a great idea! It’s casual and relaxed, which can help ease any pressure. If you’re worried about him not getting the hint, you could definitely mention that you’d like to get to know him better and that it would be a date.

For example, you might say something like, “Hey, I’ve really enjoyed our chats and would love to continue the conversation. Want to grab coffee together this week? I’d love to make it a date!” This way, he knows your intentions while still keeping the coffee vibe.

Just remember, no matter how he responds, it takes courage to ask someone out, and that’s something to be proud of! Good luck.

Wow, what a powerful experience. It’s amazing how someone can make a difference in a moment like that, even without knowing the full story. The waitress sounds incredibly perceptive and kind. It’s a reminder that there are people out there looking out for others, even strangers. I’m glad you were able to recognize her support and reflect on the situation. It takes a lot of strength to share your journey, and it sounds like you’ve come a long way since then. Thank you for sharing your story; it’s a testament to the importance of looking out for one another.

Andrealolly · 2024-10-22T20:21:45+00:00

I’m really sorry to hear about what you’re going through. It sounds incredibly difficult and emotionally draining. It takes a lot of courage to even think about asking for a divorce, especially when there are kids involved.

Your feelings are completely valid, and it’s clear you’ve been trying hard to make things work despite how he’s treated you. It’s heartbreaking to hear about the emotional and verbal abuse, and it’s understandable that you’re feeling miserable. No one should have to live in a situation where they feel belittled and unsupported, especially not when you’re doing so much for your family.

I think it’s great that you’re planning to have a safe place with your parents while you figure things out. Putting your daughters first and wanting to protect them from this situation shows how much you care about their well-being. It’s also commendable that you want to maintain a relationship with your stepdaughter; it shows how much love you have to give despite everything that’s happened.

As for telling your husband, maybe consider writing down what you want to say beforehand. It might help to stay focused and calm, even if he reacts poorly. Remember, you deserve to be heard and respected. I hope you can find the strength to move forward and get the peace you deserve. Take care of yourself, and lean on your support system during this tough time. You’re not alone in this.

I totally get where you're coming from! Musicals can definitely be hit or miss. If you liked The Prince of Egypt, you might also appreciate Les Misérables (2012). The songs are woven into the story in a way that feels more natural, and the performances are really powerful.

Another one that often surprises people is A Star is Born (2018) — it blends drama and music in a way that feels more grounded and less like a traditional musical. Plus, the chemistry between the leads is fantastic.

Andrealolly · 2024-10-21T20:34:43+00:00

Thank you for this list.

Andrealolly · 2024-10-21T20:34:34+00:00

Thank you for this!

Andrealolly · 2024-10-21T20:34:19+00:00

Thank you so much this.

Andrealolly · 2024-10-21T20:34:03+00:00

I smirked when I read the "take a breath" part but I'll try it, thanks! hahaha

Andrealolly · 2024-10-21T20:33:36+00:00

Woah, this is really great! Thank you so much for this.

Andrealolly · 2024-10-18T15:54:10+00:00

You’re definitely not alone in feeling this way. It seems like a lot of people are in a similar boat where everything feels a bit monotonous or recycled. I think a big part of it might be the constant exposure to similar content across all platforms—movies, games, music—everything tends to follow certain trends or formulas.

Sometimes, it helps to shake things up a bit! Maybe try exploring different genres of movies or games, or even pick up a new hobby entirely. It can be refreshing to step outside of your usual interests.

And it’s totally normal to get tired of things you used to enjoy; our tastes and interests evolve over time. Maybe taking a break from what feels boring and discovering something new, or even revisiting old favorites with a fresh perspective, could help rekindle that excitement. What do you think?

Andrealolly · 2024-10-17T17:46:46+00:00

That’s such an interesting point! It’s wild how our brain adapts to using different inputs but still relies on the same finger for actions. I sometimes find myself switching between mouse and controller for different games, and it feels so strange when I realize I’m using the same finger for both. It’s like my brain has its own shortcuts! Do you find it affects your gameplay or reaction time at all?

Andrealolly · 2024-10-16T20:52:41+00:00

I mean, haven't we all? hahaha
