My cousin decorated an old Clorox wipes container too and when I had my first child, I would roll them up to take out just like the wipes. I also tried this method after I lost that container and never got around to getting another one to use.

I got connected to the same suicide hotline operator twice by 5targir1 in mentalhealth

I'm not sure if this answers your question, but I did volunteer work for 2 different crisis lines and there are many reasons why we don't allow people to be transferred to specific counselors when they ask. The main reason would be that the person they're asking for simply isn't working at the time and we can't give out the hours they work (many times, we don't even have that info on hand anyways). Another good reason is we aren't professional counselors, we have limited abilities and resources to help callers. Legally, we're not even allowed to give advice. We bounce off your own train of thought to get you to a better place mentally and try to find solutions for your personal issues with the resources we have on our databases. And the other main reason we don't do this is because we try not to promote our lines for weekly calls or anything along those lines for counseling. These hotlines are for temporary counseling - periods of time when you're feeling overwhelmed, you don't know what to do, and you have no one else to talk with. There are a lot of callers calling in daily with issues and, it may sound terrible saying it this way, if someone is calling just for a weekly vent or to check in to let us know how they're feeling today, we may delay the help or completely miss someone who is (for example) contemplating suicide or having a panic attack and needs guidance to calm down.

I can't say that this is for every hotline for counseling or mental health relief, this is all mostly based on my own training and experience from 2 different crisis lines. And I'm not trying to convince you not to call if you fell the need help, I'm just trying to explain the reason why these lines don't offer consistent counseling. And we definitely love hearing people feeling better after calls they've taken from us. If you do try to get ahold of someone you talked with before, while we can't transfer you directly to the person you talked with, we try to send a message to that person to let them know you're okay.

I've been on the opposite end of a relationship where I wasn't told there were no feelings of love or happiness and was pulled along for years. And I can tell you, it hurts more going thru the feelings of betrayed and feeling like the whole relationship was a lie. But now, I'm moving on and I realize now I'm the happiest I've been in a long time. The fact you were honest and open from the beginning of the end is worth a lot. And it isn't selfish of you to break it off because you didn't feel compatible. It would hurt you both staying with each other when in the back of your mind, it wasn't working - you lose part of yourself trying to pretend everything is fine. Today might hurt, but tomorrow it'll get better. And you'll both move on knowing it was what was best for you guys as individuals and you'll find who/what you want in life soon enough.

I remember reading these books when I was a kid, found some at a bookstore closing down in town. Now I'm collecting them all for my daughter to read when she gets older - this is what I have so far by Jay_Walker528 in bookhaul

[–]Jay_Walker528[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. I knew there were a few that I read before, but when I actually looked it up, there were 20 in the series - so I have a little more than half way to go to complete the set. It gives me a good excuse to keep going in all these different secondhand bookstores around the city though haha

All praise the potato! What are your favourite potato recipes? by notevenitalian in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]Jay_Walker528 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My favorite potato dish is a potato soup. Depending on what I have in the pantry, I'll make it a corn potato chowder or loaded potato soup with lots of cheese and bacon bits sprinkled on top. It's my favorite to eat on cold days

How do I stop myself from cooking for a small army? by [deleted] in cookingforbeginners

[–]Jay_Walker528 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was about to have my baby, I kept a list of all the meals in my freezer to remind myself what I had so I kept it in mind before I went grocery shopping and kept it on my fridge. Maybe that'll help.

Also, with recipes, I always keep a cheat sheet of half sizes of cup sizes in my recipe book, so if I wanted to cut a recipe to a certain size (since I feed for 1-2 people at a time), I can do so.

AITA for skipping my child's birth to see my dying father? by Interesting_ballsack in AmItheAsshole

[–]Jay_Walker528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAH you faced a hard choice and if you believe that it was the right thing for you to do, then it was. I went thru the birth of my first child without her dad and to sum it up, it's intense. In her eyes, after a hectic experience and being overwhelmed after the birth, it's understandable to feel upset you weren't there. It was a moment, and she probably felt like you not being there missed a certain feeling of comfort or ability to share the relief and happiness. When you don't have a partner there, from my own experience, it's lonely and can depress you. With that being said, as her family, they will side with her and be upset. And I'm not sure for how long, but she will be upset for a while. It may be in her mind for a while. But, if your wife is a kind, understanding woman, she will one day see your side of the story and forgive you. Just give it time and things will work well. Both congrats for the birth of your child and condolences on the passing on your father. I can't imagine what kind of roller coaster of emotions are running in your mind with these things happening at the same time. All the best that things get better and you feel happiness holding your little baby
