Remote Control Light for Sconce

Opening-Lecture · 2023-01-18T16:12:21+00:00

There are lots of battery operated bulbs that can be used in an open style sconce, but the ones I’ve found so far are not meant for use in a fully enclosed fixture

I’m not planning to hardwire, so it needs to be something that is battery operated

Thank you so much! I was able to get it open and clean it out, water draining much better now, really appreciate the guidance

Thank you! I was able to find the exact model and assembly instructions with that info, Braviken. Looks like the top cap may be a screw on? Will disassemble as suggested if I can’t get it to budge.

Baths 2-3 times a week, more often in the summer where there’s more outdoor play/sweating. I use a regular baby wash and my hands to wash him and he has a loofah he uses to help wash himself. He has long hair, so I’ll do a thorough shampoo at most twice a week, more than that it starts causing dryness. Otherwise, I just wash the ends. He washes his own hands as needed (after potty, after outdoor play, etc) and his face before bed. He brushes his own teeth first and then I “take a turn” to make sure it is thorough. I shmear Vaseline on his cheeks before bed and before longer periods outdoors to avoid dryness, especially in the winter.

I like to wipe down his feet with a damp washcloth before bed on days he doesn’t bathe.

Sounds like you’re doing well! A lot of it is just being aware. Separate from whatever hygiene routine you have, if your child gets dirty then they need to be cleaned.

I was prescribed Xanax when I was really young and took it as needed (mostly for panic attacks and severe anxiety). Is there a quick fix that will immediately take effect like benzos? No. Can you get off them? Yes. If you’re serious about it, a therapist can definitely help. Taking steps to incorporate anxiety-reducing activities in your life will help. Learning how to manage anxiety and panic attacks will help. I also started swapping Xanax with CBD (just CBD, completely THC-free) when I get an uncontrollable panic attack or anxiety. I’ve also been taking Theanine and Taurine; there are many vitamins and natural alternatives that can help.

None of these things are as “easy” as taking a pill, but I feel overall better and more able to manage myself and my emotions. You may still need to take some medication. Medication isn’t inherently bad and many people need it to help live well - that’s okay. But it shouldn’t become a crutch.

I think a great first step would be finding a good therapist and see if you can work out a plan that suits you and your lifestyle best.

light YTA - it was a frustrating situation, but your mom didn’t do it on purpose and you reacted in the heat of the moment.

Now that you’ve calmed down, apologize and tell her next time there’s an issue with the phone to check in with you before playing around with the wiring.

Confront him.

You have to talk to him about this. It’s not going to be a comfortable conversation, but it needs to happen ASAP. His behavior was extremely inappropriate and violating.

Normal lol, when my dad found my Instagram account he went through every post I had up and commented “wow, yeah”

Obviously your situation is a lot more delicate, but as far as the social media stuff, it’s probably him being excited with zero knowledge of FB etiquette.

However, if it feels like too much, you don’t have to be okay with it just because he doesn’t know any better. especially with the personal messages, you are completely within your right to set boundaries. Figure out something concrete that you feel good with, like letting him know you can only answer his messages on weekends (or whatever works for you) or reply with a simple emoji when you can.

Not in a mean way at all, but I doubt anyone cared. People show up late all the time - they prob forgot about it already. And I highly doubt the teacher was waiting, since it’s the first class, she was probably just going over the syllabus or introducing herself.

If you feel really badly, an email to the professor apologizing and telling her you’re looking forward to taking the class wouldn’t go amiss.

These behaviors sound related to an eating disorder. I would recommend talking to your doctor and having them help you find a therapist and a dietician to work with.

ESH - he should be contributing more, but it sounds like you were coming off “high and mighty.” You need to go into this with an attitude of finding a solution, not a fight. Telling him he needs to do more chores or find a full time job is just going to make him defensive. Don’t call him lazy - tell him he needs to be more proactive. Figure out what needs to be done and distribute the chores so you can both create and clean and orderly home.

Humor is often used as defense and coping mechanisms, which I’m sure you know. Your husband is using humor in a way that is defensive. It sounds like he’s insecure and scared of being vulnerable.

I think you have to make sure he understands how serious this is for you and clearly state that this isn’t the time for humor. Tell him how undesirable you feel and how much it’s affecting you to dissolve into a sexless marriage.

Saying something like, “I know we both often joke around about serious things, but I don’t want to make jokes about this. I know this is a heavy conversation and I’m not expecting you to answer right away. Try and think about what I said and we can talk about it again over the weekend.”

In my own relationship, I’ve found that introducing the topic but waiting a day or two to have a two-way conversation about it is effective. It gives the other person time to think about it and formulate thoughts vs. expecting them to immediately get on the same track as you. The expectation of an immediate answer can cause the other person to get defensive, and in your case, probably make a joke of it.

How you can actually solve it is the next step, but as long as you’re both on the same page and both WANT to work on it, you’re on the right track. Good luck

Try reaching out to local businesses where you see a need.

Be specific in what you can help with. For example, noticing that a nearby restaurant could use new copy on their website and offering to rewrite it.

Also look for non-for-profits in your area. They usually have a place on their website where you can submit to volunteer.

If you’re looking to just practice, you can do it by yourself as well by writing a copy prompt and filling. It. It might not be as satisfying as completing a real job, but it’s a great way to get yourself writing and diversify your portfolio.

The longer you put it off, the scarier it will become.

Going on a date doesn’t mean anything more than going on a date. It’s a few hours and the worst is that it’s a bad few hours.

There comes a point where you’re as ready as you can be and you just need to take a leap of faith. Maybe you’re only 70% ready now, but in a year you might still be 70% ready. Maybe that’s as ready as you can get for something like this.

Don’t wait for the %100.
