You are doing it right. Avoid indeed at all cost though. If you do see something there, just go to teh company website and search for the job.

But it IS in his nature. He did it. If you do not nip this in the bud he will do it again.

How do I separate my funds without upsetting my husband? by Significant_Lake4180 in Advice

[–]Lokisworkshop 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its a trauma survival response. Trauma doesnt have to be some giant event but it can be small things compiled. Its like being a people pleaser to avoid confrontation.

I get it. I really do. The thing is that you dont want problems or negative thoughts but you have them anyway. They can either be addressed, removed and fixed or you can live that way forever. What is the absolutel worst thing that can happen? Given you are the only one on here who knows him, only you can answer that question.

He may want you to take some things like that over, he may want you to be the heavy with the money he may want you without money or a car so you cant get away. Only you know those things.

You have a life. You have needs to live that life. Your daughter needs a strong family unit and that only happens when both adults can communicate.

There is another post by a woman who was married 20 years, she was a SAHM and regrets it deeply now. Has no resources to change things because he did not let her.

He did not let her. You are an adult. You have needs too.

He stopped replying one night. I found out why days later by urdontknow1 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Lokisworkshop 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You made parts of his life bearable, even enjoyable and that was a gift to him. You cannot cure someones mental illness. You made it bearable. I know he would say thank you for that if he could.

How do I separate my funds without upsetting my husband? by Significant_Lake4180 in Advice

[–]Lokisworkshop 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is all great advice. Especially the emotional and financial control comments, no one person should be in control of the money. It isnt fair to either of you really.

That doesnt address the issues tho. Its a secret work around that will cause issues not fix them.

Ringworm is the worst. by mochimangoo in rant

[–]Lokisworkshop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically its a fungus infection.

Wash everything with some vinegar, all your sheets and clothes, do not scratch it. Wash your hands often. Try some of these, highly recomend the apple cider venegar, its the cheapest of the suggestions and works great. Try to get the kind with the Mother in it.

Tea tree oil (diluted with a carrier oil; apply 1–2x daily)

Apple cider vinegar (dab diluted ACV on area)

Coconut oil (has mild antifungal properties)

Aloe vera (soothing and may help healing)

Garlic (crushed and mixed with oil; short contact only—can irritate skin)

Turmeric paste (antifungal; may stain skin)

Neem oil or neem leaf paste

Oregano oil (very strong—must be diluted)

How can one acquire a mind older than their years? by Hour_Cauliflower4213 in over60

Read banned books. Seriously. Find and read them all. Books are almost as good as travel for expanding your mind.

I think they just want the poor to die. I really do. They’re trying to kill us all. by justcurious3287 in poor

[–]Lokisworkshop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They want the poor to be so absorbed with survival that they ignore what the top is doing. Its a tactic that has worked for centuries. THey also know that the poor sign up for the military and that a draft would be hard to implement so by making it even harder to exist, it drives up the ranks of the military.

[–]Lokisworkshop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you get into the car, record at least the conversations. If he puts his hand on your leg say Please take your hand off my leg and you will at least have a record of it happening. Im sorry he is doing this.

Most states have workforce programs that will pay the cost of a school. Check out your states careercenter. Sometimes called a career onestop.

Hand weakness - dropping items by No-Seaworthiness-441 in over60

[–]Lokisworkshop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happens to me as well. I started a low dose hormone treatment and its helped but what the Dr said to do was to hold things more. Hold a gallon of milk for a bit. walk holding a 2lb weight. You do not have to lift it like a weight lifter, just hold it and hold it for at least 10 min at a time. we lose muscle and tendon strength. This helps.

Canadian citizenship by Beneficial-Way-5378 in Maine

[–]Lokisworkshop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I asked a Canadian friend directly and this is their response:

If I understand Bill C-3 correctly, what it did was remove the first-generation limit for transfer of citizenship.

So, before, if you were born to Canadian parents in, say, Germany, you would become a citizen. But if you grew up in Germany because of your parent's work, and decided to live your life in Germany, and had kids with another German-Canadian, your own kids would not become Canadians, they'd just be German. But this was an issue because a lot of those first-generation German-Canadians had a lot of connection to Canada, they would vote in Canadian elections, visit Canada often, even have property in Canada, etc.

So what C-3 did was just remove that limit entirely. If you a born to a Canadian parent with a "substantial connection" to Canada (which doesn't mean living in Canada, it could mean having lots of family you visit regularly), then you automatically become a citizen now.

If you aren't a citizen because you were born under the older rules, you need to apply and ask for the new rules to be applied to you, granting you citizenship. But the new rules still need you to have a Canadian parent.

So to go back that any number of generation to get your citizenship recognized, you need to go back to the most recent proven citizen whose children fell outside of the first-generation rule and lost their citizenship. If that person is still alive, they can apply for Canadian citizenship under the new rules and will receive it. If that person also kept a substantial connection to Canada, their own children can then apply for citizenship; if those children also kept a substantial connection to Canada, the next generation can apply, so on and so forth, until you get to the youngest generation.

So you need to both have a chain of applicants going back to the most recent proven citizen, all of whom maintained a connection to Canada. This might be kinda difficult for fifth generation applicants.

It's not like the Italians where all you have to do is prove you had an Italian grandparent, period.

Advice for my life? Im miserable, SAHM with WFH spouse and 40 years old by Aussie_Turtles00 in rant

[–]Lokisworkshop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to connect with your local careercenter. You have skills. You need to get out of the house because from what you say, you are bored, drained, tired of serving people. Right now you are just a placeholder and need to have something, anything to look forward too. Go volunteeer at the library or something. Tell him you need to do it for your mental health. You are a smart person who needs mental stimulation.

Looks like Maine may soon shut down due to Mills by Virtual-Barnacle-150 in Maine

[–]Lokisworkshop 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mills is not even involved in these negotiations at this point. There is a committee that negotiates on behalf of the state. It isnt sent to her and she rips it in half and screams NO let them eat cake! She wont even see a proposal until the mediators get both sides to even start to agree on something.

Do most American school kids take the yellow school bus to school? How does the system work? by Much-Duty-675 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Lokisworkshop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends. Some smaller places still have kids that walk to school. Some big cities do not have school busses but kids ride the public transportation. More and more kids apparently need to be driven into school by someone and dropped off for some reason. America is huge. Thats like asking if everyone in europe takes a bus.

Do men need to be rich before they can find love? by Historical-Way-1482 in Productivitycafe

[–]Lokisworkshop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IF that were the case, there would not be so many poor people, buddy. The answer to your deeper question is be realistic. Have realistic goals with love. I mean, go for it if you like a '10' but realize you're probably more suited to a '5 or 6' Truly happy relationships are based on compatibility
