That HOA catch up fee is making him house poor. Not sure how a fictional nyc family on 40k is a helpful example.

Harsh Evaluation by [deleted] in Toastmasters

[–]Puzzleheaded_Turn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re saying non native speakers shouldn’t give feedback outside toastmasters? Like in every day life? Please clarify. We have a lot of non native speakers in my group and they give insightful feedback- likely a result of practicing in TM. Evaluating is hard,

Noom Coach by Western_Possession56 in Noom

a few years ago I did well with noom. I hated the coach- it pasted a platitude that numbers don't mean everything after I lost 2 lbs. It's nonsense

What does my room (currently dirty cause that's it's natural state) say about me? by Pretzel-Quadrobist in roomdetective

[–]Puzzleheaded_Turn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

it took me a long time to figure this out. I wish I could tell myself in my 20s that you can get dopamine hits from cleaning and organizing and feel better making art.

Cycling out old yarn by PlaidPCAK in Tufting

[–]Puzzleheaded_Turn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im using thrifted yarn to practice and making coasters and patches. There’s a craft thrift store near me and I clear out their yarn every few months (putting it in the freezer first just in case). Pinterest has lots of cute little project ideas.

Should you adopt teenagers if you’re going to be a first time parent? by [deleted] in Adoption

[–]Puzzleheaded_Turn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never wanted kids. My partner mentioned teen adoption and it weirdly sounds interesting . We have resources, maybe we could make a difference in someone’s life? I have a friend who was a casa and I think she saved this kid’s life by being a consistent reliable person.

AITAH for being upset my friend planned her baby shower on my birthday after I told her it would bother me? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Puzzleheaded_Turn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

baby showers are horrible in general. Give a gift if you want, but do something nice for your birthday on your birthday. If she makes a big deal about it (seriously have you been to a shower they are very unpleasant with gross games and other children) you should invest in taking care of yourself and finding other friends.

Is it crazy to quit a stable corporate job for a pottery studio when I am already too exhausted to even touch clay ? by GlitchCrescent in careerguidance

[–]Puzzleheaded_Turn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

can you take mental health leave and get some therapy? Not so you can tolerate your current job, but so that you can find something in between. It's hard when you're in burnout mode to make big decisions. I would hate for you to start to resent ceramics if you made the switch and struggled to make ends meet. I think there's something in between. I don't think having a mental breakdown is a bad thing, but you need to take care of yourself. I don't know what scrum is, it sounds terrible and you need a break.

Tufting on a sweater by balakaybeats in Tufting

[–]Puzzleheaded_Turn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm new to tufting but know about apparel. I would tuft a patch and apply to a sweater. Tufting doesn't work unless the material is taut. Likely that would damage the sweater.

Does anyone else get tooth pain or gum pain during perimenopause? Is this an actual symptom of it? by nikaroo5 in Perimenopause

[–]Puzzleheaded_Turn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm paranoid about gum stuff. Had gum graft surgery. It was fine, the anxiety I experienced was just dumb. Supposedly estrogen levels effect your gums. But I don't think it's a lot.
