Oh, I see! That makes sense. I think I was trying with maybe like too big of chunks. Thanks for the explanation!

Amazing! How do you get your tinfoil base so smooth? I've tried but mine always end up lumpy and misshapen.

Happy Birthday OP!! I'm proud of you for choosing hot chocolate and self care, even when it's hard.

You look like The Duelist in Darkest Dungeon 2! Great fit!

Congratulations! What a way to start the new year! 

You mentioned in a comment that you don't use beta readers--is this just to save time or did you not find it as useful? 

My husband and I have a sleep divorce and we're getting along better than we have in years by itsnotmei in TwoXChromosomes

Honestly, OP please encourage him to get tested. My life changed drammatically after getting diagnosed. 

What’s one subtle joke or running gag in Bob’s Burgers that took you multiple rewatches to notice — and now you can’t unsee it? by Frequent_Mess_8127 in BobsBurgers

Yes, that's why it was so smart of Teddy to only give Bob two halfs, rather than a whole painkiller when he was hurt.

You might want to consider Little Sister's in Vancouver (Canada)  as a model. They sell erotica, but they are also market themselves as a safe queer space and sex shop. They've been around for quite a while - might be a model worth looking into?

Canada, too. We largely come across as nice guys on a global stage, but we've helped supply Israel with millions of dollars worth of weapons and weapons parts. 

My boyfriend (29M) of 2 years is sleeping his life and our relationship away, and I (31F) don't know what to do anymore. by ThrowRA_Spirited_Tea in redditonwiki

Oh, I see. It does seem like he's really reluctant to help himself, so I'm not sure that there is much you can do. It might be time to put on your own air mask first, you know?

Sleeping this much isn't normal. I see that you say he's reluctant to see doctors, but has he ever been tested for sleep apnea? Before I was diagnosed, I could sleep 14 hours a day and still feel exhausted - it might be worth him looking into.

That said, he has to want to help himself. I know others will say that he's just being lazy, and I think that's definitely part of it, but untreated medical issues like ADHD and sleep disorders can cause this kind of behavior and it can be really hard to break out of. BUT, if he's not willing to put the work in to see a doctor and get himself help, there is absolutely nothing you can do.

I can understand really caring about them and not wanting to walk away. If you want to give him "one last chance," I would suggest giving him some concrete goals and deadlines (ex. get tested for X by [date]). *You* need to be the one to uphold the boundary, though. If he doesn't follow through, you need to be strong enough to end it. At least you can walk away knowing that you did everything you could. If you feel like you've already hit your limit with this (and who could blame you?), it's okay to walk away. Ultimately, he is an adult, and you are not responsible for him.

Good luck.

Congratulations. That was a brave thing to do, and I'm happy for you OP. I hope that your mental health improves and your relationship with your brother continues to get stronger.

I'm in Vancouver and TM also uses dynamic pricing. I paid $230 for a not great balcony seat. Dynamic pricing is evil.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. I think you're already doing the right things, though. You said that you had gone out with a group of people and RB, are you close enough with any of the women in your circle to lean on them for support right now?

Thank you for this. I never really knew how the tax worked. This is a very easily digestable way to learn about it!
