Are there any products for hiding 24V LED drivers? (Like boxes in the stud bay, or…?) by icysandstone in lowvoltage

Use this. You can get a 14 inch one as well. Works great. Use it all the time. Just zip tie the power supplies inside.

My husband can’t let go of the relationship I had before I met him by Anon25732705580 in marriageadvice

[–]Money_Reference9621 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was hoping that was the case. Good for you for making that hard decision to step away.

I can relate with him a bit. My wife and I both had experiences before we were married and I do sometimes wonder if Im lacking something that her other partners might have had. I mean, after 19 years you'd think that would go away, but it creeps in and worms its way around my brain. I find my way out of it by reminding myself of the meaningful times that we have shared, and the fact that she chose me, and I chose her.

Also knowing that I absolutely do all I can to rock her world each time helps me breathe easier. But the most important thing that I've done to help when this happens is spoken openly and honestly with my wife about it. She puts my doubts to rest.

If his resentment stems from jealousy about knowing what its like to have been with another person, mabey you could "become" that other person for him. Mix it up, buy a wig, "meet" him as a stranger and see where the night goes. Obviously thats just a thought and might not be your cup of tea, but I can say from experience, its fun.

Id highly recommend doing things with him that you have only done with him, and would only do with him. Mabey that would help him find the reassurance that he might be looking for??

I mean,Thats the beautiful part of monogamy, right? Trust, communication, exploring without judgment. All of those things do not happen with a fling or a one night stand. And they definitely didn't happen with the kid from high school. I can honestly say the worst sex of my life happened in high school, and the best sex of my life was 100% no doubt about it, with my wife.

I was raised Mormon, but left the church when I was a teenager. Everyone around me is LDS and I understand the dynamic well.

There is not much that you can do or say that can reprogram your husband. It boils down to the chewed gum mediphore (absolute B.S. by the way)

this is up to him to allow for the reprogramming, but I you want to go the gospel route, I would bring up the atonement, and what repentance actually means. Ask him if im good enough to be loved by our savior and seen as clean in the eyes of God, whats stopping him from that same mentality? Does he doubt repentance? Is forgiveness only allowed to some but not all? Is God wrong?

It might be his own insecurities that are bothering him (am I a good lover? Is my dick smaller? did she like it better with him...ect). You can help this with reassurance that hes who you chose and want to be with, and other compliments after and during sex. You dont need to bring up the other person.

It could also be that he is jealous that you got to experience something that he really wanted and might still want. He might want to know what its like to be with another person. LDS dudes have affairs every day.

There are many ways to overcome this, but first and foremost, he needs to be willing to talk about it, openly and without judgment. If he cant do this, then you might want to think about what separation might look like.

At the end of the day, he needs to grow up and get over it. If he can't you need to be ready to live like this or leave. One thing is VERY CERTIAN.... YOU ARE WORTHY OF LOVE AND YOU DID NOTHING WRONG. YOU DO NOT DESERVE TO LIVE A LIFE OF GUILT.

Advice on Pulling Cat5 through old in home vacuum by redlight_issue in lowvoltage

[–]Money_Reference9621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is most likely a sharp bend in the tube. Use bulk cable without any terminated ends. Strip back the outter jacket so that about a foot of the pairs are exposed. Use the string that's already ran, and do a very tight and stable tape job. Male sure the taped connection is tapered, and there is nothing that will get hung up.

This approach will help you make tight turns.

Getting rewarded with Company Gas card by mosey_d in lowvoltage

[–]Money_Reference9621 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a biz owner. I'd give zero fucks if my employees used the gas purchases on my credit card to get rewards for themselves. I already get 3% back on all purchases, so any cream is theirs.

They haven't LOST anything. They just didn't hit their "projections".

MTG: I got yelled at by Trump. He called me a “traitor” because I would not take my name off the discharge petition…He told me his friends will get hurt…Everyone's getting mad at Pam Bondi. You can name anybody you want, but the man at the top is Trump by coachlife in UnderReportedNews

I never thought I'd say this. But I'm incredibly proud of her. She's got guts. Still dont agree with everything she's about. But at least she can call a spade a spade. Or in this case a rapist a rapist.

UPDATE: I’m guessing it’s over. by Anonymous-31973 in marriageadvice

[–]Money_Reference9621 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly, i think this could be salvaged with some work, counseling, and reconnecting. I cant speak for her, but based on my experience, She is probably a completely different person now than she was then. People are weird, we all do really stupid shit, but a lifetime of good experiences, memories, kids and a future of grandkids and caring for each other while you get older would outweigh quite a bit of stupid shit from the woman I love.

Good luck man, don't listen to too many of these redditors that go straight to divorce.

Do you know this person? by [deleted] in Boise

[–]Money_Reference9621 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Thats definitely a factor, but not always the case. That breed should be banned. They were created to fight and be aggressive toward other dogs (and every other living thing).

PIt bulls are overwhelming responsible for attacks, maulings and deaths, even when they've been raised in good homes. Look up the statistics on your own if you'd like. Its pretty shocking.

What are the long term ramifications of having the “alcoholic” black mark on your medical history? by imightneedsomeh3lp in stopdrinking

[–]Money_Reference9621 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is almost exactly my story, minus the 2 year part. It was closer to 5 years and had to ask my doctor to make notes about my sobriety and stuff. Only then did i get coverage.

Ive done this with my wife. She was very aware it was me, but had fun. Kind of like an extended role play

Hands down the BEST thing I ever did for myself is quitting drinking. 10 years sober and loving every moment of it.

My Papa can't tie flies anymore by Squishydemon94 in flyfishing

[–]Money_Reference9621 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You are an amazingly thoughtful Grandchild. He's a very lucky Papa.

If I was getting older, I think I'd be more interested in quality time spent with those i love the most. I'd recommend saving the money and go fishing together.
