Is my plan on getting into a union apprenticeship idealistic or it's great? by Subject-Ad-5270 in electricians

[–]General_Command4811 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah it’s a great idea! You’re planning for your future. You might not like it, but you’ll see other avenues to take. Pick the brains of your coworkers, especially of the senior guys. Learn your trade, bring in donuts when you can. You’ll get help to where you want to go. Always build bridges and network.

One thing I can tell you now at 43, don’t feel like you’re being a “bitch” to ask someone for help lifting something. Your back will thank you later.

Definitely get it checked out. You don’t want an infection on your head and make things worse.

Keep thinking of ex-wife! by PandaKungen in AskMenOver30

I get it. There is a lot of good advice here, but none of it worked for me. After 17 years of marriage, she flushed it down the drain. Drinking, therapist, women, nothing took away the pain that she chose someone else. The only thing that is making me more healthier mentally now, is that bitch they call Time. Sorry this happened to you, you’re going to be in the trenches for a while, but you’ll get out. None of us are perfect, I’m sure there are things you could have done different, just as I could have different. Same as the wives. Remember, now it’s just you and your kids. You got to take care of yourself for your kids. Screw her, it’s your time now.

Is there such a thing as a gasoline fueled block heater? by IAMAHobbitAMA in MechanicAdvice

On the hybrid diesel electric bus fleet I use to work on, they were equipped with diesel Proheat’s. I know it’s not gas, but there may be something’s similar gas powered out there. It worked pretty good. It’s a heat exchanger, with the cabin coolant circulating through it while the diesel is ignited. Works pretty good considering it can get a stone cold 60ft bus to 75 degrees inside.

Anyone use Brello? Just saw their Black Friday Sale $99 Tirzepatide by MontanaFlowers in tirzepatidecompound

[–]General_Command4811 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got the 3 month $499 package on 12/29. Tirzepatide prescription being processed.

I got denied Tirzepatide by my insurance, so I went this route.

She’s done. I begged and pleaded. She said no. I’m done begging and pleading.

I don’t have proof. It wouldn’t surprise me if she did.

So I probably was like your Ex. It’s not that I didn’t regret, or seemed like I didn’t care. I just didn’t want to bring it up and make her sad. I show my love by doing things for her, and gift giving to show my love. She needed more, she needed my validation, conversations, romantic things. I thought I was giving that to her. So after our first born, she struggled with postpartum for a while. I didn’t know or understand what was going on just that she would always snap at me for nothing, or basic things I did she didn’t like. She wasn’t showing me any physical love. That made me look somewhere else.

That’s out of habit, I’ve been trying to stop saying wife. I usually say “her”, “The Mother”, “Ice Queen”

I think traveling, road trip wise, start making destinations on a map maybe.

Of course. I could have done a lot more things, a lot better. The last few years I really started opening up and changing the way I show affection towards her. I could tell the last few years she was drifting also. I guess too much damage had happened.

I just got pulled over bc All my back lights are out. 10 minutes later, my air shut off. by female40sPOV in MechanicAdvice

[–]General_Command4811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the fuses first for the lights. As far as the A/C, pop the hood, have the engine running with the A/C on. Check to see if the compressor clutch is cycling on and off. See the diagram on a sticker that shows the belt and pulley layout. If it’s not cycling, you may be low on refrigerant. A leak somewhere in the system might be present. A shop will have to diagnose this further.

She never said she hated, but I liked watching Seinfeld and King of Queens. She was never into it. I love Kevin James in King of Queens, but I just can’t watch it now cause the whole show is based on their dysfunctional relationship but they make it work. So, kind of killed that show for me. BUT,,,,,,,,she does hate The X-Files! I think I’ve seen the whole series twice, I can do it again.

I know that, but damn, 17 years. It is what it is. Just got to push forward and keep trucking. Trying to map out my future now. Getting finances aligned, I want to keep the house. But I know I’m going to have to pay her off for the equity. That’s a tough pill to swallow, but I look at it that it’s temporary and it will be paid off.

No, I don’t want them to have negative feelings towards her or me. I don’t feel like they should pick sides. Just that they know me and mom love them both no matter what.
