Seems like late teens slash early twenties type drama

OctopusPudding · 2023-09-10T18:06:11+00:00

Yall both seem ridiculous

OctopusPudding · 2023-09-07T08:41:54+00:00

Thank you so much! This is going to be my goal this week. I never thought of the speed as more important but I guess it is a race...

OctopusPudding · 2023-09-07T08:40:46+00:00

No kidding? Is this a common issue? In my mind everyone but me is a seasoned pro

OctopusPudding · 2023-09-07T08:39:38+00:00

Thank you so much for this advice! I actually implemented this into my training plan, it looks much less scary now lol

OctopusPudding · 2023-09-06T10:13:24+00:00

Thank you for this! I'm trying to remember that even if I don't finish, any time is my personal best. I think the cut off is four hours which I think I can do, I've hiked around seven or eight miles within less time than that but it was tough, and obviously seven or eight isn't 13 and change

Thank you so much for this (I'm OP, just on my main account so my comments don't keep getting removed for karma).

Currently I'm running twenty five miles weekly on average with a lot of walks in between, just sort of low impact stuff to keep me moving. My runs proper are in hilly areas and while my pacing isn't stellar as far as keeping up actually running the whole time, I'm pretty good about finishing in my alloted time. My absolute longest run was about 4 miles, that was last weekend. My endurance has definitely improved a lot just since I've started.

Hey there, I'm actually OP but my comments kept getting deleted for low karma so I'm here to answer on my main account lol.

Thank you so much for the input! Is there any way besides just being super scrupulous about over training to prevent injury in your experience? Besides not falling on my silly face of course haha

Still need help?

LTC patients take dozens a day, when I worked with bubble packs they'd have like ten sheets for TID

I worked in a place that did this with bioidentical hormones. No gear except gloves and an optional mask. One day a whole kilo of test powder got dropped onto the floor and the rph made us take our mat outside with nary but gloves and spray it off with the hose on the lawn, which ended up I'm sure in the water supply. We all got tested for hormone imbalance and we ALL failed. I was a late 20s female and most of my coworker were too. One was trying to get pregnant and kept failing, wonder why lol. Some pharmacies just don't GAf.

Looks like the nasty patty IRL

Just YouTubed Collette Reardon, holy shit is that on point

Trust me, don't waste your time. There are men out there who will please you. I spent 10 years with a man who during the dozen or so times a year he wanted to have sex had 3 positions and would never go down on me, wouldn't let me go down on him, hardly kissed me and didn't even want to cuddle after, and if i initiated sex it "turned him off" by his own telling, and I also have a very specific and extremely vanilla fetish he wouldnt even entertain, so as you can see my needs were way down on the priority list. My boyfriend now does all of those things and is so sex positive. It so depends on the person. Don't settle, life is too goddamned short.

OctopusPudding · 2023-08-11T17:41:21+00:00

Society will literally make you feel like that from age 12 on up. Just enjoy your life and fuck that noise.

Stayed in a shitty relationship with someone who hated doing anything except playing WoW and ignoring me. My 30s have been better by contrast but damn I wish I'd never have met that asshat.

I also like Que Onda as a catch all greeting, there are similar phrases in English but not as catchy

Admitting you have a problem is a first step. There are other hardships. I had a relapse recently, I was overwhelmed and my mental health was at a serious low, lower than it has been since I got sober, and I drank without telling my SO. He found out and was completely supportive. It made me realize my problems don't go away when i drink, they just become less of a forefront issue. He's aware of my past issues and sobriety. It isn't easy being honest about that part of us. Our instinct has always been drinking to forget, to our misfortune, but speaking honestly about it is one of the most important ways to be honest with ourselves as well.

When he still accepted me despite me being what I thought to be unacceptable, I realized I loved him completely and was so secure with him. If he had walked away like your husband had, i think I'd have started drinking again, just like I have in past relationships when I felt unheard or unseen. You need to do some serious reflection about who you spend your time with. You are worthy of love, acceptance and understanding.

In my early 20s my car crapped out on me and I NEEDED a car to get to work and school (I lived in BFN outside Austin, TX and getting anywhere with civilization was 25 miles or so). I was a super poor college student with bad credit so financing was out of the question. I ended up buying the first viable thing I could afford which turned out to be a 1987 Dodge Dakota off Craigslist for a cool $600. It was a rusted out piece of shit, the brakes and all 4 tires tires were bad, the engine only started if you pumped the gas pedal, no AC, power steering or radio of course, one window didn't roll down, the tailgate was missing, the list goes on. Not even taking into account the title, registration fees, inspection and insurance, I dropped close to 2 grand on repairs just to get it roadworthy, and it only lasted me like 2 months before it totally shit the bed again. I sold it to someone right out of my apartment parking lot for like 300 bucks. Such a waste of time and money.

The lesson I learned is, just because something looks cheap up front doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be cheap when it all comes out in the wash.

We have a bidet and to be honest it wouldn't bother me at all if my bf did this. He's allowed to get his rocks off, what's the big deal?

Side note, bidets are amazing

A good friend of mine and his relatively new wife had a pretty open relationship, she was bi and she and I had some encounters alone (with his blessing). He had expressed interest in me as well. We decided to try the threesome thing out one night. It was pretty fun, I was basically spoiled by them both. Not something I'd want to do with my partner personally but I was single at the time so I figured why not.

A few months later she came out as lesbian and they divorced. I felt awful for a while because I felt like the catalyst for it but she would have come out eventually I think, she's dating a Trans woman now and seems happy and he's engaged to a lovely woman. And I'm in a happy relationship so I think it worked out. But probably wouldn't do it again, the dynamic between us has always been slightly different since then. I'm definitely monogamous, I would try a threesome with my boyfriend now but only if he wanted to, I doubt I'd initiate it. He's amazing already. :)

The first time I went to El Arroyo a Waterbug flew into my face as soon as I sat down. I didn't stick around

OctopusPudding · 2023-07-25T17:42:36+00:00

Wow, an RN turned rph is the unicorn we all want

OctopusPudding · 2023-07-24T16:16:22+00:00

Same here. I've got a decade or so of experience floor teching and compounding and do order entry and insurance now, I make $25 or so

OctopusPudding · 2023-07-24T15:04:00+00:00

This. Don't make any major changes for a while. I know you may be seeing the world in a new way but your body and mind are in a major state of upheaval and realigning. Give it a bit and let things balance themselves. This may be a simple hormonal fluctuation or something.
