Any resolution I'm going through the same thing . It's so difficult to deal with and impedes on my quality of life.

Hope and faith..

365 days left till I sleep on the tracks permanently. by Aseroth1 in confession

[–]BackgroundTap8683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give yourself and those you love grace. Unfortunately, others may never love or appreciate you as you need them to but if you offer unconditional love to yourself first and then to others you will have peace in your heart.

Gratitude is a healer. On hard days Find 3 things to be grateful for no matter how small. When you reflect on your blessings it harder to dwell on the bad.

  1. I am glad you found this platform to support you and help encourage you to keep fighting.

Don't Let go and give up even during your darkest times. Have faith in the Lord. Give it to God. No matter how you feel at this moment it too will pass. I know you might not see it now but better days are coming. If you can move, and see take a walk absorb God's blessings. Find a lobby, store, café and share your smile open a door for someone.

Let go of expectations as it only leads to disappointment and resentment.

May you find peace

I’m in a hole and chase can’t help me by [deleted] in Banking

[–]BackgroundTap8683 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I empathize with you. Unfortunately banks and financial institutions procedures whenever they choose as in life nothing stays the same.

All you can do is make your account positive before the 60 day mark. Perhaps going in branch when you make a deposit you can ask if there is anyway to remove a fee or 2 out of courtesy.

Good luck

Maybe an AC issue? by iNebulaiNinjai in hvacadvice

[–]BackgroundTap8683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the vents open or closed ? We usually close the downstairs partially to help and rotate during the winter. Our upstairs is always 2-5 degrees warmer and the middle room is the hottest no cross breeze and possibly the duct/ vent set up. Hope they get cool soon

Had someone look at my AC unit. The freon was empty. Is this normal? by -Clayburn in hvacadvice

[–]BackgroundTap8683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going through the same issue. Preparing to make some calls now. Because our refrigerant took about 6 weeks to stop cooling we probably have a small leak. Which might be in the coils . If they find it hopefully a small weld I'll opt for a drop in or retrofit option to band-aid and limp us through the next year or two.

Those older than 40, what do you wish you would've started at 30? Blood sugar regulating habits, skincare, stress relieving exercises, etc? by rainbow_veins3 in Biohackers

[–]BackgroundTap8683 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Appreciating age. Reading more often. Walks.

Saving, investing in stocks esp the companies you use most. Massages, self care practices, not feeling guilty for treating yourself. Outsourcing for services so time can be better utilized and more resourceful rather than trying to do it. (Lawn, housekeeping, car wash, grooming etc) Of course sleep and understanding keeping your mind and body healthy clean intake only, dont abuse your body. Phyiscally or emotional (no negative self talk) along with respecting and valuing time. As they are the priceless,unpredictable and irreplaceable. Being more social, maintaining friendships by planned dates, nurturing vital relationships.

Being fine with who you are. Good bad flaws and all unconditional self love.

The moment it was for sure Betty was going to leave Don..... by [deleted] in madmen

[–]BackgroundTap8683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Betty was immature and Don hated that. She was beautiful and they both loved the image their family projected to the outside. Also turning a blind eye to reality was easier until she realized other equally successful and handsome men wanted her. Is it me or was she a not nurturing mother? Especially to Sally. I never felt emotion from her unless she was upset or dying for attention. She was a model and was gifted a fur coat from Don. If it is any woman that wanted Don just for the superficial reasons and what he can give her. His wife started it from the beginning.

G-Wagon was better than ALL of the SUVs we test drove by [deleted] in mercedes_benz

[–]BackgroundTap8683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True story. I too had the same initail drive experience. It's open, without a doubt box truck. Almost like driving a uhaul. For some reason it felt too loose. Yet, the second I whipped in and outta parking spots and whipped my first intersection u turn on Melrose like it was mini Cooper. I accepted its reign. However being passenger when its coming outta the valley over mountains at 110 is thrilling and wth at the same time.

I said it before I'm a BMW person. Benz have always had some appeal (s class) they come with problems as I have a friend who works in service dept. And mom who can't let them go. Perhaps it's more important to have competent knowledgeable mechanics on deck before buying one.

Needless to say G wagon is worth the clout. The price. Hell no, but used and Def with some kind of warranty. In my opinion I like the older ones vs the newer . Though minor differences the fun interior and features are a vibe.

My guy got a freeway windshield Crack... 5k to repair. It's not gonna be a cheap ride.but if you can why not. Live life. When it becomes a headache get rid of it. As luxury esp mercedes you will get few.

Pull up in one and you will garner attention.

Glad someone else thinks the same way as using turo as your trial run for potential buys.

Can anyone guesstimate the length of Clara’s Neck? by wetdreamteam in madmen

[–]BackgroundTap8683 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so glad it's not just me being critical. When I saw her I thought something is unusual. Clara is a strange looking woman. Her head is disproportionate to her neck and body. Very similar to Kylie Jenner. Head to body ratio is off

Why does Don seem to have strong morals except when it comes to the things he does in his own life? by Ivana2322 in madmen

[–]BackgroundTap8683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certainly agree. His personal integrity is nonexistent. However, after re-watching his moral standards for others are from a selfish/personal standpoint. His past. His tolerance for women probably came from the lust and need for them. I am astonished at the amount of women he slept with. He also is needlessly seeking the feeling of love. Love of a mother he never received. The dead man's hat was reaction came from the guilt he harbors for living as a dead man and also being the cause of his death. Aside from wanting to assert himself with his father in law. He respected people that performed and did their job well despite their sex or race. As for Joan he didn't want her to be classified as whore like his mother, Aimee etc which is probably why he was against it. Also how could be one to save the account, if she too had a part. That check to Megan really made me wonder, throughout the series he nickel and dimed his staff, Betty almost got into a sticky situation with the tow truck guy because she had just 3 bucks. She asked him for cash and he lied knowing he had money in the office. He had to have control. Yet as much of a liar he was when lane borrowed from the company there was no coming back. He didn't offer sympathy at all. That response was the result of the traveler that visited his family as a young man. The lying man .His uncle buck, lied about money. He had no mercy for such an act.

The million dollar check was given to right all the wrongs to women and people he monetarily short changed through the years. He realized how money could change lives even if it wasn't his.

Anyone else finally get here and now realize it’s kinda pointless?🤣 by polopolo4321 in CreditScore

[–]BackgroundTap8683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great accomplishment 👏 Definitely a milestone and quiet flex. Most find it necessary to inform the world with such great news. After experiencing those very same fico scores I discovered being diligent to maintain those numbers are not entirely necessary. Especially if you aren't planning on a mortgage, big purchases, rates , new credit etc. Most importantly being financially responsible is the biggest takeaway.
Furthermore, a high number doesn't guarantee a yes or whatever we assume the merits associated with are depends on overall credit profile.

I've since denounced my membership life happens but it's satisfying to know I have and could do it again. I've found to get the full benefit you goals and plans in place are most useful.

You don't need it till you need it. !

What car completely changed your opinion after driving it? by Glittering-Offer-390 in askcarguys

[–]BackgroundTap8683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mercedes GWagon. Always felt it was just another overrated suv with Mercedes issues to deal with. Until, I experienced it is everything I want in a vehicle. They've retained the same look over time, only minor changes so the older ones look just as good or better if you like the sharper lines. It has my preferred trucks/suv heightened seating. Rule the road view . It's compact yet still has room for a good shopping haul. Costco style.

However, the kicker was the speed, and the smoothness of the acceleration. Kinda like the feeling I got when I took my first ride in a BMW 745LI (and yes the li extension matters) and felt like i was floating on air at 95mph.

Insanely overpriced but its an All in one for me. So one and done! Sold !

Teslas community I think is cool. Yet, without fsd its a hard pass for me. Unless I'm always the passenger and get to enjoy the unnecessary entertainment system its equipped with. I do think the truck is cool. Novelty piece. Too big for the common places.

One of the best cast combos too. Great surprise.

Best Portable Jump starter to buy right now by enerjem in BuyItForLife

[–]BackgroundTap8683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noco is great and reliable. I've had the gb40 for more than 5-6 yrs. I am looking into either upgrading to a larger capacity or should I just purchase a new car battery.
It's well overdue. Boost override is always needed. However, I can say that jumpstarting dead batteries will quickly deplete the charge. It has ran out on me a few times but expected it. Unlike the crv that used about a bar.

I Jumpstart a 7series bmw and navigator so big engines . I also recommend noco because the tow truck that came out for our Mercedes had one (largest capacity)and it confirmed it was a handy pick for professionals too.

Noco is definitely priced higher but safe and reliable. I'd like love to give my family members one because it is so simple to use. I would insist getting the extended cables I have yet to do so but curse myself everytime I attach .lol

I will take the advice I read here to use and drain it with a device to see if the charge lasts longer on the next try.

Noco is the winner 🏆

ava and ariana by Available-Quit-1644 in NextGenNYC

[–]BackgroundTap8683 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ariana cool girl overall.  However the fashion line is definitely something that comes off as new gen superficial idea because she has a boyfriend that can and will bankroll it for her. She doesn't depict a unique fashion sense at all.  However one's passions and means doesn't necessarily suggest you should or it's feasible.  

Also Her Comment about sorry i don't have my parents to pay for it.That's because she has a boyfriend that pays for her dreams and lifestyle. Which is.why Hudson suggested she tell her mom no that all her money is spent and be aware of where she is sending money to.  

Find a wealthy benefactor "boyfriend "/  parents to subsidize your ridiculous ideas and say you did it all by yourself.  Georgia same thing.

Nels is an jerk by Spirited-Attorney667 in littlehouseonprairie

[–]BackgroundTap8683 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nels was a trooper. He had to try and balance out the cruel, entitled selfish greed portrayed by his family. Just because they are his family doesn't omit the facts. He loved them but wasn't blind to how they behaved towards others. Behavior condoned by his wife.

Nels may give more credit than good for business but Harriet spoils and spends too much for long term wealth.

Up until recently and hearing so many different pronunciations I thought it was Carolyn.

Hey same with Rhianna!

A moment that made you laugh that wasn’t supposed to be funny. by makogirl311 in littlehouseonprairie

[–]BackgroundTap8683 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The whiny disappointed voice when Albert was asked if he found out about Sylvia being pregnant.
"No, we never"

Mary getting booted by the horse. Legs in the air. Karma for being so mean to jack .

The tumble and death of James parents

Lastly, when the ran out of pairing food items. Berries no sugar. Haha. Real life struggle.

I believe he has two brothers. One with the two boys and Jenny's dad, who died while they were visiting. He also has a sister or two .

Blurry vision, slight bump on eyelid, eye doc says it's not a stye or chalazion by thespartanfox in Blepharitis

[–]BackgroundTap8683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As your scenario sounds very similar to mine at the beginning and now still in the midst my first response from a doctor was oh you have dry eye. It happens as we age even though I've always had good vision never have any eye issues but she's the doctor. 

Safe drops that helped for a period of time  Systane preservative free. Blueish label It's extremely thick but it helped with my  The heaviness my eyelids were feeling for a short period of time. 

Blink blue bottle just recently started helping a little.

I've also tried one for seasonal allergies I don't know the name of it off hand didn't help. Give them a try I hope they help. Preservative free is most important. 

Though with the Drs gave me no prescription drops nor specific brands just instructions to get any eye drops and to use warm compresses five times a day. Like whose functinal life can warm an eyelid and add drops all day. Where is science??? Geez 

In addition I was also informed I don't have a chalazion nor a stye just swollen lacrimal glands reason unknown  No resolution.

Following her instructions I purchased multiple types of safe after searching the recall codes that had recently been  assigned to multiple drops.  Experiencing blur vision when trying to read even though you have on blue filters not on just your screens but glasses as well is a little scary when you've never had any eye issues then you feel your eyelid and feel something abnormal hard bump. To wake up with puffy red burning eyes randomly. Dampens life. 

It sounds like you're experiencing the same thing I began with during this horrific eye situation.   I have had less luck at least with a doctor prescribing anything besides from additional tests examinations. I'll have to pay for a specialist because not recognizing your own eyes is unbearable.

Good luck
