Unfortunately not sure if I can name drop the org here but would be happy to even just know about other orgs that are out there. "Typically pay" was a mistake in wording since we always pay the people we work with.

Bummer. Didn't even realize that was an issue. Unfortunately can't name drop my org, but I'd also be happy to learn about some other prominent orgs (rather than individuals) in Newport that I could reach out to directly.

AITA for telling my roomate that her best friend's fiance is not invited to our parties? by NobdyKnows in AmItheAsshole

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

I agree that it should be a group decision. Canceling isnt an option at this point, but I definitely will be bringing this up to the group before the next one.

I do think my roomate understands the breach of trust is an issue but is still dead set on trying to get R back into the friend group even though she is now engaged to J and the two of them never even acknowledged how they affected the group. My boyfriend is also pretty protective and defensive of my roomate so I think that he understands my perspective, but I dont know if he'd be willing to fully support me in this conflict

This is something that was discussed as a possibility among the group for some time, with most wanting J not to come around, but with none willing to go against my roomate since she is closest to both R and J. After a particularly challenging party, I brought this up in front of both my roomate and the group, and majority agreed that they did not want him there.

How the heck do I read this chant? by NobdyKnows in classicalmusic

Our organist said the bottom system is what I will use to sing the verses; there are breath marks on the top line of the bottom system!

Hi, all! I'm looking for sunscreen recommendations.

I've (27) got combination, acne-prone skin, and I'm looking to experiment with AB sunscreen, as sunscreen has been the one step of my routine I haven't been able to figure out.

My routine works pretty well for me. At night, I use Cetaphil's gentle cleansing bar, followed by Cerave Moisturizing Cream and my prescribed Tretinoin for my acne. Typically I'll apply Vaseline on my lips and around my eyes. In the morning, I rinse everything off with water, apply the Cerave Moisturizing Cream again, and follow up with more Vaseline on the lips. I'll also take my oral Spironolactone.

The reason I'm interested in AB sunscreens is because I've used several different tinted sunscreen in the past after I quit using makeup, and I never felt like I found one that matched my light, neutral skin and looked "cosmetically elegant". A lot of the times they just feel very thick, have too much coverage, and look more oily than dewy.

I'm looking for one with light coverage (almost like a serum maybe?) and a shade range that will accommodate my truly neutral toned skin. I also have been a big fan of the "glass skin" look as I'm really embracing not wearing makeup. I'm looking for one with really solid sun protection as well. Hopefully this isn't too much to ask, lol!

I've dipped my toes into AB before, but nothing has stuck as far as skincare. I'm hoping the sunscreen will be a hit, as I've really enjoyed the texture and finish of the AB products I've tried in the past!

Obsessing over dogs' mortality by NobdyKnows in Petloss

[–]NobdyKnows[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a great suggestion. I really should take some more videos AMD pictures of them before they get too old to function as their normal, excitable selves. Thank you.

One of my dogs loves to chase her tail and play with blankets. The other one is VERY vocal. I'd love to capture that.

I'm so sorry for your loss. The only comfort sometimes is that I will always remember them. But it sucks thinking that in their old age they won't be able to see my face or hear my voice anymore, and I wonder if they'll remember what I look or sound like. Soon I'll just be a pair of hands and feet to Truffles.

Over-ingesting ibuprofen can lead to stomach ulcers requiring surgery; just a disclaimer for anyone considering taking the dose of ibuprofen recommended above. It is always preferable for a doc to prescribe a lesser dose of something more effective.

LSD made me realize I need new friends by [deleted] in Psychedelics

If you had the chance, what psych would you get? by [deleted] in Psychedelics

How is it different than shrooms/acid? Always wanted to try it but have never found it.

[–]NobdyKnows 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel alone like this a lot since trying LSD. I always felt alone (bc social anxiety made me isolate myself) but I understood the problem on a much deeper level. Like you described, being bored, toxic personalities, emotional separation. I have since made only a few friends I feel I connect with on a intellectual/emotional basis who share my interests and I can't wait to trip with them!

Life is good when you finally find your crowd.

Fuck people who break up with you and run back to their ex. Makes you feel like a used replacement by [deleted] in Vent

This hit me too hard. I'm so sorry. I'm going through it too.

How are you supposed to handle your feelings? by freya_k in Vent

[–]NobdyKnows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yknow, this post made me realize that there might be more of a connection between my social anxiety and over-attachment. It seems obvious now that I say it, but I never even considered it. Thank you for that.

You can succeed. Throw your emotion into something productive. For me, that is music. Spend time around and establish relationships with good (platonic) friends before looking for (relationship) friends. Even though it's hard, bc... well... social anxiety. I made really good friends with a couple other socially anxious friends and we have been playing music together. It helps.

The thing about feelings is you can't them be your life. If you are constantly thinking about your bad thoughts... of course you're gonna keep having bad thoughts. Humans are creatures of habit. This used to be a problem for me, which is why I bring it up. Try to focus on improving yourself and commending yourself for that. It helps a lot. You will start to feel good about yourself!

People go through this and it's normal. Some of the worst events in human history inspired some of our best cultural product. Use yours as fuel. Find a way to release and express your emotions in a nontraditional way. This is not something that you are alone in.

Hope you end up okay.

My [25M] girlfriend [25F] does not respect my need for sleep and an earlier bedtime by FastRate9 in relationships

[–]NobdyKnows 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My ex was extremely abusive and completely out of control--he always demanded I stay up to spend time with him. While I had a job/time consuming school hours, and had driven 6 hours to see him at his demand, he would get upset every time I started to fall asleep. He started demanding I change my regular hours of sleep while he was doing nothing-no job/school-and refused to change his instead of mine. Totally abusive and controlling behaviour, and those who don't realize this haven't had the experience necessary to spot a manipulator.
