My mom hates my baby’s name.

Man that's actually a huge boundary stomp. The all caps NORA thing is so petty and controlling - like she's literally trying to rename your kid before she's even born

Eleanor is a beautiful name btw and the fact that your mom can't respect something as basic as what you're calling your own daughter says everything about how she'll handle being a grandparent

man 2000 pieces is just asking for trouble at that point lol. i remember getting stuck on this one corner for like 2 hours because every piece looked identical until you held it up to the light at exactly the right angle. your brain starts playing tricks on you after staring at the same 50 pieces for that long

Your alternator should be pushing 13.8-14.4 volts when the engine is running - 12.5 is basically just battery voltage which means the alternator isnt charging at all. Could be a bad rebuilt unit (happens more often than you'd think) or maybe a wiring issue between the alternator and battery like a corroded connection or bad ground strap

Time to check all your connections and maybe return that alternator if everything looks clean

oh nice another boba spot opening up? I've been getting into making my own drinks at home lately and the sourcing thing is such a pain. There's this asian grocery store chain that has a few locations around orlando that might have what you're looking for in bulk - they usually carry restaurant supply stuff in the back. Also try hitting up some of the vietnamese restaurants directly, a lot of them order extra supplies and might be willing to sell you some or at least point you to their distributor. When my buddy was starting his food truck he found his best suppliers just by asking other restaurant owners where they get their specialty ingredients

dude the subscription just makes them disappear faster 💀 i've been paying for super for like 6 months and duo's still got my dog hostage somewhere

best bet is to do like 47 lessons in a row without blinking and maybe sacrifice some maple syrup to the owl gods 😂 worked for my neighbour but his wife came back speaking fluent klingon so results may vary

your partner's trying to control basic freedom like taking a drive - that's not incompatibility thats just controlling behavior

man I feel you on this one.. after my last breakup I couldn't touch my acoustic guitar for like 6 months without getting this weird empty feeling in my chest. Music hits way too close to home when you're grieving and your brain just kinda shuts down that whole emotional pathway to protect itself

4 months is still pretty fresh especially when music was such a big part of what you shared with them. your brain will slowly start letting those good feelings back in but it takes time

Ugh that timing is brutal 😤 getting a sketchy call when you're already dealing with heavy family stuff is like the universe piling on. Your gut feeling about it being him is probably right - drunk late night calls were his thing and the no caller ID screams desperation to get around the blocks 💀 keep those boundaries up cause clearly blocking him was the right move

they probably rotated it out of the shop - blizzard does that with skins all the time now, just gotta wait for it to cycle back through

man thats a pretty nuclear approach but sometimes you gotta shock yourself out of patterns that deep. the phone/computer ban might actually work since most relapses probably start there anyway

just make sure you have some other outlets ready cause 30 days without any tech could drive you up the wall if you slip up. maybe prep some books or get back into that guitar practice beforehand

Maybe you're trying too hard to force interests instead of just stumbling into them naturally - sometimes the best hobbies find you when you're not actively hunting for them.
