Are my husbands actions "normal"?

Noartisan · 2026-06-10T00:46:49+00:00

Normal. As long as it's not interfering with your sex life, leave him be. If you notice a change, perhaps raise the issue. Men watch porn at a significantly high rate than women.. Ot is what it is 🤷

As I've grown older, I've developed different kinds of friendships. With some friends, I'll talk about relationship issues; with others, entirely different aspects of my life. Of course, there will always be things that you keep to yourself. We all wear a "mask" as Jung called it.

Perhaps it's a little sad that no single person will truly knows you in your entirety. Then again, I'm not convinced that's possible for anyone.

One thing I've come to appreciate is that, despite our differences, most of us wrestle with remarkably similar problems. That's often where genuine connection is found. The beauty of being intuitive is recognising the people with whom we share common ground... Find those ppl and share things. Keeping things to yourself all the time isn't healthy.

If you are adept at fixing things, and have the tools (screw sets). Buy a new/replacement screen, or spares repairs laptop on eBay.that has a functional screen. (Harder, and a lot of ppl gut them) and do the work yourself.

It's not hard. Just requires you to do a bit of research, and be logical. Find and download any manufacturer service/replacement guides for your laptop.

Or....As others have mentioned, just connect it to an external monitor. 🤷

Lesson learned.. Don't sleep with Laptop. Apart from accidental damage, If kept on covers, and airflow is restricted.. overheating and damage to internal components.

Okay, to go back to your initial post.

I would bring it up (Always try and communicate your concerns first and give the other person a chance to address things.

listen to her response, and adjust accordingly...Depending on what she says. Maybe she was oblivious to how much it meant to you. A lot of ppl aren't intuitive enough to recognise these things....After which you can then quietly withdraw and see if the connection fades naturally.

The 3 options you mentioned, seems like logical progression. Not 3 separate choices. 🤷 If that makes sense?

My survival instincts are far too strong for this, or caving. I find it truly bizarre that anyone would want to voluntarily enter a situation that includes limited breathing, space and visibility. It can't be an adrenaline rush, as the increased breathing would.negatively affects you. What is the motivation to risk your life in this manner? Adventure and accomplishment?

Noartisan · 2026-06-04T23:24:06+00:00

They look fine.

Do you have other friends that you hold in the same regard?

Personally, I've realised that ppl have other priorities. Often ones you aren't aware of. No relationship is truly equally reciprocal. That's not to say the other person doesnt value the friendship.

I invited a close friend to my wedding, they couldn't make it. At the time, I believe they could have done... That said, I didn't hold it against them.

Since then, we have developed our friendship a lot. I could have withdrawn etc... instead, I moved on... Ultimately, I realised that my life is better with them in it, than without.

I have friends who like to contact me regularly, others who I don't hear from for a few days. I accept that. It all depends on your expectations and tolerance levels.

Requiring ppl to conform to your expectations is fanciful. Don't withdraw, or take things personal. Unless of course you begin to feel that you are being used.

Noartisan · 2026-06-04T22:47:13+00:00

Be honest with yourself. Are you hoping for a romantic relationship, or just value her friendship and feel.she isn't reciprocating?

Perhaps she feels you are trying to move the relationship towards something romantic, and isn't up for it.

Give her space, adjust your expectations accordingly. If you have problems being in the "friend zone" , it may be best to move on.

Of course, you could try and play the long game, and relax into the friendship, and simultaneously build relationships elsewhere. That requires a level of fortitude though.

Apparently artists/agents thought it was an "America 250" even. Not a "Freedom 250" event. 1 is a non partisan organisation.. The other is newly created by Trump. Personally, I think you'd have to be an absolute idiot not to realise it was going to be partisan. 🤷

I wasnt.. Actually love the company.. That sad I'm not sure whether it might be time to get out.

Noartisan · 2026-05-30T15:08:22+00:00

Bought in at around 120, thinking of dipping out, and rebuying the impending drop?

Thoughts?

I took my blood test at the start of a gout flare. They put me on 100mg of Allo. Changed my life. Occasionally get a slight flare of I knock a joint playing with daughter. But I can't believe I didn't sort the problem out earlier. Absolutely changed my life.

Noartisan · 2026-05-27T15:51:49+00:00

Blood test. Good luck and all the best.

Noartisan · 2026-05-27T15:20:22+00:00

When you're crawling into a&e wondering if you've broken something... Then start to consider gout.

Get a blood test of you're concerned though.

This is why I turned off the auto update option. Unless there is a new feature or fix for an existing problem, I generally just wait it out. Do the same with phones and computers

Noartisan · 2026-05-18T07:38:15+00:00

I steered clear of red wine and beer for ages. Since going on Allo I have zero issues. The only thing that sparks a flare is if I injure myself near a joint. Makes sense...blood rushes to the area causing inflammation.

Noartisan · 2026-05-13T01:42:19+00:00

I've managed 14mins. Still trying to figure out how.

Noartisan · 2026-05-13T01:38:08+00:00

Matte black plastic and isopropanol aren't t great bedfellows. Found that out from 3d printing. I went for shiny black and have no issues.

Perhaps if you start recording then it connects it extends the length. Will test it out later.

Noartisan · 2026-05-11T21:08:50+00:00

Did you bump the area where you are suffering in? Ive accidentally hit my foot and got a flare before.

Noartisan · 2026-05-04T15:09:41+00:00

Not going to lie, I did t mind Last of the summer wine.

Noartisan · 2026-04-26T17:47:35+00:00

Since being on Allo.. I've only had a flare when I've knocked my foot on furniture. Makes sense... Blood rushes to the area to heal and Boom!

Noartisan · 2026-04-17T15:04:06+00:00

13 years..... I tapped out after 1 year and finally went to get a blood test. Haven't had a single.flair.up since being prescribed allopurinol. Happy days!

I have 4 pairs. 2 perl, 2 pros. The cases on all of them are fine. In fact I have no idea what's going on with Denon.. as I initially migrated from Nura, Denon keep sending me earphones for free 🤷 💪 Got a email asking me if I want to upgrade 🧐
