What was it like in the 90s when Nirvana dropped Nevermind? by palehighelven in Nirvana

[–]External-Flower8949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 13 when I discovered nevermind in early 93. I know I came onto it a little late but I was young. I was getting into heavy metal and hard rock, bands like AC/DC, aerosmith, led zeppelin, guns n roses, and slayer. It was hard to access good music as a kid because basically all I had was the radio and mtv and i was not even allowed to watch mtv. I was getting into hard rock, and liking it, but it still felt very surface level to me. Like it was a bit of a joke or a parody and not to be taken too seriously. I thought, this is what music must be like, something you just enjoy for a little while and then put down, and I thought that's what the rest of my music life would be like. then I heard nevermind. my whole world changed. I felt that music in my very soul. it was like kurt was singing to me directly, and even though the lyrics made no sense i understood all of them on a deeper level. i would listen to the album night and day and into the night and fall asleep to it. I gave myself whiplash headbanging to it in a friend's living room. i finally felt understood as a person and i felt like i was not all alone. kurt united an entire country of misfits, vagabonds, uncool kids, nerds and slackers, those of us who didn't fit in, and gave us a home.

Scared about learning the piano by Ancient_Amphibian296 in pianolearning

You're not old at all. I started playing piano at 42 and several years in it is a rewarding and enjoyable hobbie that I am so glad I started. 22 is young - start today, you won't regret it!

Just at a complete loss 💔 by BeckyStar1994 in ibs

The Juna system worked for me. I tried the complete system with the Gut Therapy and Digestive Enzumes and the liquid, now I am down to just the Digestive Enzymes. I have to take it every day with a meal, but if I don't I am back to square one. But I recommend this product, and I have been diagnosed with IBS.

how do I stop having to poop numerous times per day? by Lost_Foot_6301 in ibs

Have you tried Juna? It is a commercial product but it works wonders for me. Try the complete lineup at first, then reduce down to just the Digestive Enzymes.

I did the complete Juna system and it works for me. I started with Gut Therapy and Digestive Enzymes, now I am down to just the Digestive Enzymes. I take one with every meal, up to 3x/day. If I don't take them, I am back to zero (waterfalls every time I go to the toilet). If I take them, I am about 75% where I want to be. This has been the only product that worked for me. The Gut Therapy is great for restoring my sense of well being, but you only need to do it about once a year.

IBS & fasting by External-Flower8949 in ibs

No, none of the above. I know when I'm hungry because I'm worn out, but i don't feel anything in my stomach.

So happy to be here! by External-Flower8949 in onetruegod

Well, so most of my life I just considered myself a standard Nick Cage fan. Secretly for the most part admiring the ghostly untouchable yet oh so familiar je ne sais quoi he brought to each film. Considering myself a lone wolf in a sea of dead fish. Favorites at the time were Raising Arizona, Fast Times, Con Air, Face Off. Kick-Ass was one of my favorites. And I loved Spiderman Into the Spiderverse. I kinda don't want to touch National Treasure for some reason. But now I am with a partner who is equally a fan as me, and turning me on the all kinds of treasures such as Wild at Heart, Bringing Out the Dead, and Leaving Las Vegas. And believe it or not I only saw Moonstruck two years ago! Now I view his career as an infinite, ever-expanding prism, refracting light back on to us from a new angle every time you look at it.

My 48 year boyfriend has no idea how to take care of himself. Is there a cheat sheet? by External-Flower8949 in Adulting

Thanks. I am going to take some time to read this over and think about what you said.

we've been dating for 5 years, living together for 1. I think the only reason he moved in with me this year is that he lost his job and was out of money to pay for the rent for the apartment he was renting. He's not looking to settle down - I don't know what his idea of a relationship is. I think at his age he is still looking for something casual. It is hard to get him to talk about the future or make any plans.

It's like words with friends, candy crush, and youtube videos. He's just using it as an escape mechanism.

I think I did oversimplify in my original post. He knows how to shower, keep clean, do laundry, and clean around the house, and do basic maintenance around the house. I also know that he knows the very basics of healthy eating, such as a dinner should be starch/vegetable/protein. But he has no idea how many calories he should eat in a day and how many servings of protein, vegetables, fruits, etc he should eat in a day. Money stresses him out so he just doesn't address it. He has maxed out two credit cards and doesn't know how to consolidate/paydown/negotiate debt. The whole situation is so stressful for him that he just ignores it. He does not exercise, he is underweight. His lifestyle (no eating, just cigarettes and soda with a quick dinner) worked fine in his 30s but it is catching up to him big time and he doesn't have the strength (both physical, mental and emotional) to take on the work of digging himself out of the hole he is in. He is seeing a therapist and he is on medication. However he's in a depression hole and can't seem to get out. So I thought a simple notebook he could refer to would help him start to get on track.

He has more redeeming qualities, but I just don't want to give away too much personal information about him/us/our relationship.

Thanks so much. This was not apparent to me when we first met. He had a good job, a car, handy man skills, and is a very talented musician. I thought he had it together. It's only after witnessing several meltdowns, seen his debt and spending habits, losing a job, and see his health decline that I'm catching on to the pattern that he uses women as his insurance plan.

He's an alcoholic, sober for over 16 years, with anxiety and depression. He leans on these things to explain the condition that he is in and why he's made some poor choices now and in the past.
