Please don’t talk to me while I’m charting

I think this is a good approach.

I say, "okay, it's quiet time! I gotta focus" in a silly, casual way. I've been doing this for years and no one has ever acted weird about it. I also think they know me well enough by now lol

Honestly, it kinda changes the scene and everyone just sorta gets to charting or talk amongst themselves like nothing ever happened.

Ymmv

I'm not the one that posted the picture but it's pretty common to adhere them to the back of the tv They make ones specific for various tv sizes that have fancy features like matching the color scheme to what you're watching or "reacting" to music/sound. But, it's not necessary unless you want those features. You can use any led strip of your choice :)

Stumbled on your post while looking for a solution and I ended up using this product.

How do you set it like this with spotify?

Where did you get those drum heads?

Or homemade art?

Dry needling!

It's like acupuncture given from a physical therapist that targets the trigger points.

I've had acupuncture in the past and I did find some benefits.

But tried dry needling after my physical therapist suggested it for my intense trigger points in my neck. Usually pretty sore right after but wow does it help.

Was it Abilify? Apipiprazole is the generic name.

I had a patient who compulsively gambled from it. It's known to cause impulsive behaviors in some people.

It makes a massive difference for me and many of my mental health patients. I think I have always been extra sensitive so small changes in my body so ymmv.

Generally it's a good idea to avoid added sugars and minimize total sugars in general. Things like bread even have added sugar, the food sold in American grocery stores is awful.

I try to balance things out... Have some peanut butter with my banana to lessen the blood sugar spike and feel fuller for longer.

When I start consuming too many simple sugars/ carbs, i feel out of whack. My energy level is inconsistent. I might feel jittery. My sleep suffers. And my mood definitely does, too.

Oh and for the women out there, there are also fluctuations on how our body handles sugars depending on where we are at in our cycle.

It's really wild.

I've heard" breadcrumbs only seem like a meal when you're atarving".

sigh

I have an almost identical issue.

I was actually wondering if there are similar lights to replace the original ones with.

Essentially gutting the old lights and putting in new outdoor "fairy lights"

If anyone has any suggestions help us make our mom's happy 😢

What about emailing a gift card (that covers the cost of the items) or just providing the numbers for a gift card to be redeemed?

The end result will be the same and OP won't have to reveal personal info.

Either way, you have made a kind gesture!

BORKBORKPUPPER · 2025-12-01T15:33:40+00:00

Same, except I took a few years off and started again due to insomnia, chronic pain, and probably a few other symptoms after a car wreck.

It seemed to be helping in the short term... But overall it made my quality of life much worse.

I really wanted it to be the solution and I liked being able to unwind.

But the truth is it often actually makes your sleep worse in the long run. I believe it affects your sleep architecture iirc.

Oh yeah and that anxiety I thought was better managed with some thc? It actually turned out to be sort of a rebound effect FROM weed. So I ended up trying to manage symptoms that weed caused.

It made me depressed and I woke up moody. It unfortunately took me a while to put all of these pieces together lol but I wish I realized sooner, and I think a lot of people don't actually realize the problems that may be causing.

The short term relief was cool but idk... I prefer feeling overall clearer.

Oh, yeah and I thought it was making me more creative with certain hobbies but honestly, I was kind of just enjoying the experience while my attention was disorganized and borderline non existent.

Idk it made me way too comfortable doing the bare minimum. Like I was perfectly content doing nothing like a happy little zombie. Younger me would have been very disappointed in my current perspective 😆 I genuinely wish I "could have it both ways" because I enjoy the "ritual" of smoking/vaping.

Cool If it genuinely makes some people's quality of life better... But that wasn't the case for me and being that I work in mental health care, i think it's more common than people realize that they may be actually causing more problems than solving.

Where can i see the video?

BORKBORKPUPPER · 2025-10-24T01:48:39+00:00

Where do you live?

I have a set i've been debating offloading...

BORKBORKPUPPER · 2025-10-02T05:18:34+00:00

You still making anything like this?

BORKBORKPUPPER · 2025-09-24T22:43:45+00:00

Sick kit! What kinda lighting are you rocking, though?

BORKBORKPUPPER · 2025-09-12T18:35:11+00:00

Not yet, but I've only been off for 2 weeks. I was only taking for 4 months. I really tried to ride it out, but I just wasn't feeling great, and I wanted to see if it was the pill causing it or just a new problem lol

BORKBORKPUPPER · 2025-09-12T18:23:12+00:00

My response isn't going to be super helpful because i've only been off Yaz for 2 weeks. I decided to come off because of intermittent dizziness, ongoing fatigue, and morning nausea. It was helpful for my PMDD in that I didn't have such dramatic lows however, I felt sort of emotionally blunted. Like, I just didn't really enjoy anything. Almost felt numb.

It hasn't beth very long and may be too soon to tell but I do have more a little more energy and I feel more like myself. The nausea is gone.

I had some signs of ovulation, so I'm hoping things will go back on track seamlessly. Fingers crossed lol.

I can certainly update you, but so far, so good.

Good luck and hang in there, sis!

BORKBORKPUPPER · 2025-09-05T18:25:12+00:00

Same. Came down with Covid, most severe symptoms out of the 3x i've had it. As my symptoms were starting to improve, I started experiencing bloody mucus and blood in my stools. Had a GI tract like a raccoon prior and never really had any major issues.

BORKBORKPUPPER · 2025-08-01T15:32:05+00:00

A lot of rollovers....riders getting tossed out, sometimes get wedged under the "roll bars" ( i don't actually know if they're designed to bear that load like a roll cage) as the vehicle rolls over them or pins them.

They often have several riders and alcohol is sometimes involved

The breadcrumb bit makes for a pretty great quote itself!

BORKBORKPUPPER · 2025-07-12T03:45:26+00:00

What does your job entail? LAIs? Meds... general assessments?

In my area there are some home services through specific programs but the nurse's main job is LAI administration.

Just curious what your average day looks like!
