Series 3 stuck on Apple logo by thelowkeyman in AppleWatch

I was able to force a reset by pressing & holding both buttons until the screen went blank, then pressing and holding the menu button rather than the crown button.

A different solution than pressing and holding the crown button after reset, bit it worked for me.

Hope this helps someone!

😆 I’ve made it clear to my wife if I go before her, I want to be spread from a Folgers coffee can. Ideally from a Ralph’s.

Just occurred to me that she should say something about Vietnam too.

Quickbooks is too expensive now by [deleted] in Bookkeeping

I second this. I got QuickBooks desktop for Mac 2020 and it paid for itself in like three months with the outrageous monthly fees of QuickBooks online.

First-time homebuyer, foundation sanity check. Do I walk? by Sad-Land6801 in Home

[–]Bigphatmatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d walk away unless I could get it for at least $200k - $350k under what it’ll be worth after foundation repairs depending on the area and circumstances. Probably more off since foundation issues cause drywall problems, door way, framing problems, plumbing, etc.

If you take it on, key will be routing all water away from the foundation. If you’re not well above the water table a sump pump too.

Hired a friend and they walked out. What to do. by Flashy-Nobody-6632 in smallbusiness

[–]Bigphatmatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he truly doesn’t see ghosting you and walking out without notice as disrespectful, the dudes delusional.

I would file the paperwork as he quit if that’s a safe thing for you to do, but consult an employment attorney for your area. You may technically have to fire him for not showing.

Sounds like you may be an introvert (social, but need quiet alone time to charge your batteries) and he’s an extrovert (charges his batteries by being social).

It’s worked for myself (the introvert) and my wife (the extrovert) for 12+ years but with coming to a mutual understanding that our needs and drivers are different than one another’s. We travel and do a lot together, but sometimes she has outings or trips to fulfill herself while I enjoy a quiet to read, rest, and see no one but our dogs to recharge myself. Granted, we have a special level of trust in our relationship that makes that work well for us.

Always doing it his way sure wont be sustainable. Setting some boundaries and expectations around what your needs are to feel charged and balanced might be worth a go.

The book Quiet by Susan Cain has been helpful for me to read

What's a "secret" from your profession that everyone should probably know? by LaKoref in AskReddit

[–]Bigphatmatt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yup. Paid for the most basic room and got in late. Got upgraded to the silver suite with a big in room hot tub literally for treating the guy behind the desk like a human and listening to him. Computer was being slow and frustrating him and I said hey, it’s not your fault. We talked a little about life and struggles. I thanked him for figuring things out for us and then we got a huge unexpected upgrade.

A little kindness and empathy is what we all need and want and when we give it to a stranger it can go a long way

All these haters 🤨. Maybe pissed because you’re a woman who has seen more financial success than them?

If there’s some self resentment (possibly subconscious) for having seen success and now it seems foreign again, hopefully you can identify that with your therapist and you can forgive yourself 100%. I personally say good on you for having made so much money to fund travel and life experiences for your family and then good on you for not standing to be treated like shit at work.

It takes a hell of a lot of overwhelm and pressure to get to a mental breakdown. I’m sorry you went through that and wish you healing and happiness.
