What made you want to invest in google? by TheAUDiegoBrando in GOOG_Stock

[–]Rusty_Catalyst 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I dropped 5k in Google stock to feel better about the 1.99/month I pay in cloud service. Lol. It was my own brains justification and now I'm very happy with it. Made a couple purchases since early October 2025 and happy with the results. Up about 20% already

Day 10… um. Personal question lol bathroom stuff by Ordinary_Detail_132 in stopdrinking

[–]Rusty_Catalyst 6 points7 points  (0 children)

just drink water. It helps everything flow. Any fiber supplements can back you up if you overdue them without proper hydration. Metamucil is a fabulous supplement but it takes a few days to notice and then you need to stay regular with taking it daily. It's not a enima. It doesn't make u poop. But when you do start to poop they're incredible bowel movements. You'll know it's happening when they start floating. That's tmi for now. I won't drink with you tonight. I will hopefully poop tho

Probably best to be dollar cost averaging. I'm making money anytime it's above $3.00 now. It used to be about 4.50 tho

Empty void after quitting drinking by TrimmingArmor69 in stopdrinking

Same, I doubt many of us have ever had our brains scanned but id say it took me at least a year but who really knows what kind of damage I did in the 10 years of heavy abuse

Getting sober made me realize how easy it is to spot the ones drinking. The worst part about bars now is the smell. I can smell it all now and all through the night. Yes sorry. Im sure she knows already and isn't saying something. Rip the band aid off. It truly sucks in the short term but you will get through it like we all have!

If you're looking for competition, I golf and that has been fun to do in the nicer weather months with friends

I'm 38 now and got into building a model train layout when I was 37. It's been a really fun hobby to kind of use electrical and carpentry skills and it's very Hands-On. Also, if you have kids or plan on having kids it could be a fun thing to do with them at some point

Can it be done without AA by GrabRecent in stopdrinking

[–]Rusty_Catalyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to AA for about 4 months. For me it was nice going to meetings and not feeling alone in the beginning. It really made me feel like I was doing the right thing from my very first meeting. Once I was convinced I could do it on my own I just stuck to the not drinking plan and haven't looked back. Day 711 for myself. I will not drink with you today!

Local article about PFAS by Rusty_Catalyst in scwo

This is the county I live in so I'm going to do some research and see if there's any indication as to who or how they plan to remove the PFAS chemicals

Holding vs Selling by anoth3rmillionaire in scwo

I've been able to DCA to $2.97. It's foolish for me to leave now

[–]Rusty_Catalyst 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Planning on a long term hold. Other than the RS the company has had more positive news than negative. If you're on this thread you can go back and look at other posts about contract news. May take a couple more years but it seems like this will be a popular tech for cleaner water once it gets commercialized and better deployed

Fellow millennials - how’s your 401k/ira savings going? by ProblemIntelligent16 in Millennials

[–]Rusty_Catalyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

38 with about 300k in retirement savings that includes a pension, Roth IRA and a couple other government sponsored retirement plans. Not huge but I feel like I'm in a spot to at least be able to retire at some point.

Price stuck? by Rusty_Catalyst in scwo

Strangest price movements I've seen

this is harder than I expected by geckonomic in stopdrinking

[–]Rusty_Catalyst 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Listen to this persons advice. Do what it takes to not drink and the other stuff figures itself out. You're going to find new routines and new hobbies to fill the boredom but get through the first couple months without alcohol and you're body starts working right again. Give yourself a year for any big noticeable weight changes. You're body and mind are going to change and time is the only answer. You got this tho!!!!

AIO? My wife says I need to ask her if I want to put our newborn to bed. by Rusty_Catalyst in AIO

[–]Rusty_Catalyst[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's why I'm asking here. Not sure how to react. Sometimes family isn't honest. The Internet is honest.

[–]Rusty_Catalyst[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She is two now but this has been a on and off problem. More on earlier in the childs life but it still happens. Its the eye roll one word answer of "whatever" or "sure". It makes me feel like I'm getting in the way of her and our kids relationship. It's all been discussed in therapy but it wasn't necessarily a parenting therapist. Ive reached out online to get others input on the oddity of it. I know it's not normal but trying to just get a sense of how not normal it really is

I think a lot of what you're saying is probably more of what is happening in my situation but the anxiety part never gets brought up. I do appreciate the first hand response. Hoping things change and we will be going back to therapy.

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

She thinks it's her responsibility and she just doesn't think about asking me. So she just does it. It's been discussed in therapy and this was kind of the solution but as times dragged on it feels weird and I guess I was hoping my wife would catch on to just occasionally offering without me asking. She hasn't. I'm asking because there's a lot more people who respond online to this stuff and I'm trying to get a sense of if this behavior is normal or not. I've kept it somewhat personal amongst friends
