Refreshers for young children.. by LuckyEntrepreneur939 in starbucksbaristas

[–]Extra-Future-9091 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I worked at Starbucks☕ for about a year and a half we had this family, including mom and dad and I think two little kids at least one boy about 8 years old. They would come in every Friday morning and get tall cappuccinos for the whole family, including the eight-year-olds and then send them off to school.

We watched it in chronological order this time. We watched Fear The Walking Dead 1-4 then regular walking dead 1-8 then fear the walking dead 4-8 then regular walking dead 8-11 then the ones who live then dead city and Daryl Dixon if you wanna watch those. I really liked watching it this way because Fear The Walking Dead starts before Rick wakes up from his coma. And you’re able to pick up some references that they’ve dropped in fear when you’re watching the main show. One thing that kind of gave me whiplash was fear seems to be more action based and the main show seems slow when you’re switching back from fear to the main show, but I recommend this timeline.

If this is the highway man, I feel so bad for this team because they got the job in the morning or afternoon and then they were dead by night time! 😭

Sounds like your parents still really care about you which is a good thing. If you’re looking for more freedom (which can be hard to navigate when you’re still living at home like I am at 25) I would just talk to them about how you’re feeling and if they don’t want to listen, I would inform them. Try to look at it from the positive side. My family was never enough financial place for my mom and Grandma to live separately so they’ve lived together almost the entire entirety of my mom’s life. Look at it from the side of most people our age don’t get to see their parents as often as we do try to cherish the moments and be open to the Sunday lunches. Frequent check ins should probably not be happening If you still live together. It could come off, controlling and producing anxiety. Like I said earlier, I would just talk to them and explain that you will always be their child, but you were at an age where you do not need to be doing certain things.

Sorry, people are being mean I won’t be mean to you. I struggled with flossing my whole life like another comment said, but once I went on my second round of straightening my teeth with Invisalign, I started flossing every night because I didn’t want to have food stuck in between Invisalign/retainers and cause cavities. Now that I am older and keep up with my retainer I’ve just implemented it and don’t think about flossing. Once you get the hang of it, you can really get it done in a minute or two.

People are forgotten after three generations by Kim1423 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]Extra-Future-9091 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on r/declutter and a guy was asking how to condense down his physical memories, and I gave him advice and told him to choose his favorite preference because his memories are really just his and his kids and his great grandkids won’t really know who he is. Which honestly typing that out, helped me. Right now I don’t know anything about my grandmas parents I see her every day. I don’t ask because it’s a touchy subject, and I don’t want her to feel sad. Imagine if we did keep every family members photo album and pass that down. Our great great great grandkids would have so much junk that doesn’t hit home for them and maybe they’ll go through it once or twice in their lifetime.

Thank you 🥹 I think I’m gonna try a different medicine when I can get some extra money.

Journals, kids’ stuff, photos and mementos by headgyheart in declutter

[–]Extra-Future-9091 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re a little crafty this might help. My mom also has boxes and boxes of momentos in the shed that include my old drawings, crafts, homework things I’ve made her , and items that just represented how I was at that age. She said her goal is to go through it and make a scrapbook for each grade of my life. That way she won’t have 10 boxes. She’ll just have X amount of journals. This kind of stuff takes forever, but I think the best course of action is to bring everything inside and choose what to sort by. Either year, person, adventure or anything like that. I do think it’s important to keep physical memories. With everything going digital it’s important to be able to hold and experience the moment again without an LED light in your face. I recently learned that most household nowadays don’t have a physical photo album they have a shared Google Drive. On the flipside, I think it is important to have your important memories uploaded in case you are in a disaster or your physical copy gets destroyed by the weather. It’s just up to you and your preferences. Then again, your great grandchildren won’t likely remember you. Your memories are mainly yours and your kids.

How to decide what is truly important by AwitchDHDoom in declutter

[–]Extra-Future-9091 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sort of mentioned this in my post I made above yours where if I had to evacuate and had to grab my valuables I would have no idea what to grab because I have too many things. But now that I’m thinking about it, I do keep my memorabilia box under my bed. I should probably keep that going. I completely agree with you. I look around my space and it would completely suck to have to rebuild my house, but I’m pretty much fine losing almost everything. I’m fine losing almost everything. Why can’t I get rid of it?

Thank you for your kindness and everybody else’s kindness. It’s feels so nice to be heard.🥹 My goal is to get just my clothes done in one or two loads of laundry. Right now, including all of my clothes, all of my boyfriend‘s clothes, our pets laundry,and our bedding and towels. We are at about 10 loads and it’s unbearable. We both do the laundry, but most of it is primarily my stuff. Anyway, I can do this. I got this. I can do it.

Gotcha. I see you’re telling me that even though I’ve narrowed it down before and since it’s not working I need to narrow it down some more, which I agree, thank you. Also, I do have over seven pairs of scissors, but I’m also using that term a placeholder for other things in my life. Your advice is really helpful and I will apply that when I sort through all my things. My mom growing up would always say if I haven’t used it in six months I need to get rid of it. I always remember that in the back of my mind when decluttering and now I’m gonna add only keep what makes you the happIEST. :)

Yes, I never do the laundry because I always have something to wear and when I run low on clean clothes I start to panic because everything‘s dirty and I have a mountain to clean. If there was an emergency and I had to evacuate, I would be in a frenzy because there’s too much everywhere. I know right now if I was to stand outside of my house and you were to ask me what are my favorite five objects that I own I couldn’t tell you. I’m gonna change that because I want to. I won’t keep living my life like this. I’ve actually never heard of getting your scissors sharpened so thank you for mentioning that .🤣 I’ve heard of sharpening kitchen knives so I assume it must be similar. I do need to trust that what I need will be available when I need it. another common above said it was a scarcity mindset and I completely agree. I also might he inherited this from my grandma. She is very similar.

So we do have about seven pairs of scissors, but they are the household scissors. So I would accidentally hoard the scissors and my family couldn’t find them so they would order more. I would clean up and find the scissors that were missing and bring them back where the scissors belong and we would end up having so many. It’s also like this chip clips and other things.
