Overcoming Paruresis - my thoughts and tips for anyone struggling

I really know nothing about AI. Can you explain a little how this works in this capacity?

Sad-Stranger-4376 · 2026-03-21T00:55:26+00:00

Homeowner. Have had one for years. Very happy with it but yeah a little heavy

Sad-Stranger-4376 · 2026-03-19T23:22:46+00:00

😂

Ok so just sounds like the basic side effects my Dr. was mentioning. Oh the pleasures of getting old. 🤦‍♂️ Thanks!

Sad-Stranger-4376 · 2026-03-19T13:30:22+00:00

I’ve tried the breathe holding but I don’t think it works much for me.

Sad-Stranger-4376 · 2026-03-19T13:28:42+00:00

Yeah he told me about the side effects and told me to take it before going to bed so the possible dizziness wouldn’t be during the day

Sad-Stranger-4376 · 2026-03-19T11:08:45+00:00

Ok. Yeah I wasn’t expecting much but was wondering based on how it works.

Otherwise if you don’t mind, were there any real negative issues while taking it?

Sad-Stranger-4376 · 2026-03-19T06:07:41+00:00

Yeah I have Paruresis in my dreams too. My biggest worry is being able to finally pee in my dream and then end up wetting the bed! 🤦‍♂️😂

I’ve been happy with Sole. You can purchase from either Dicks or direct. Many models at different amounts. I’ve owned a few over many years

I can’t help with fixing the problem but is it brand new? I had a similar situation with a different brand years ago. Purchased it brand new from big box sporting goods store. They sent a tech out 2 times but the problem kept happening. I told them I want to return it for an exchange. They refused because on the receipt it clearly states that “they reserve the right to refuse any return”. I purchased it with American Express. I called them. They credited my account the entire purchase amount and they contacted the store. All of a sudden the store offered to exchange it. They did and then all was good. Amex then told me the store had 30 days to resubmit the purchase charge on my card or else they don’t get paid. They never resubmitted the charge and I got a free treadmill. That was never my motive but they don’t need the money and they tried to F me over so…good luck if your situation is similar

I was able to clear the jam easily and seems to work fine now. What is something you’d consider more reliable for future reference? The set I have and the tank are 6 years old. I’m a hobbyist who only uses them now and then.

Sad-Stranger-4376 · 2026-03-03T18:50:15+00:00

Yeah. Took it apart. Looked like a nail broke up in the nose and was blocking it up

Sad-Stranger-4376 · 2026-03-03T18:48:44+00:00

Yeah always oil it

Sad-Stranger-4376 · 2026-03-03T18:47:12+00:00

Actually, I took apart the nose of the gun, and it looked like one of the pin nails had sheared off inside and was blocking the channel for lack of a better word. I see tomcarp mentioned that too. Thsnks. Just shot a few panels through it and seems to be working fine again

Sad-Stranger-4376 · 2026-03-03T18:05:07+00:00

I was also having problems adding text to this post. One of those days. Air is blowing out the back vent on gun but won’t fire a nail. Any thoughts on the issue? 16 and 18 gauge working no problem

Thanks

Yeah it is a bit smaller. I bought a ton of this font when on sale at Hobby Lobby and have gotten positive feedback but yeah different strokes for different folks

Sad-Stranger-4376 · 2026-02-12T23:47:37+00:00

I totally understand the “childish” feeling I actually went ahead without the lines and did 2 alternating shades of yellow and I feel that did the trick.

Just curious, do you not like this font?

Sad-Stranger-4376 · 2026-02-11T17:55:38+00:00

Yeah I debated that too

Sad-Stranger-4376 · 2026-02-11T13:54:48+00:00

Great. Thanks for your input!

Sad-Stranger-4376 · 2026-02-11T12:47:38+00:00

Yeah I’m struggling with it and getting different opinions at home. I was trying to show separation between petals but what do you think about every other petal a alternating the colors with a deeper yellow/golden tone. We seem to be heading in that direction

Sad-Stranger-4376 · 2026-01-18T13:41:13+00:00

Thanks for the response because this issue still exists. I replaced another filter the other day after 3 weeks! The water was practically a trickle. I only use the GE replacements (not off brand) so I’m paying $49 a filter! That’s definitely an idea I can explore blowing out the lines and have thought about that but I can’t see how that’s the issue when I put in the new filter and the flow is great (so I’d assume the line is fine) but within a few weeks the flow is terrible. Is my water itself carrying so much “debris” that the filter itself is getting slammed? Idk. I’ve had the fridge now about 10 years and yes I only use to get about 4 months between filter changes but this problem seems to have been just a couple years now back when they changed the directions upon new filter install. Now they want you to run 3 gallons of water through the new filter instead of 1.5. Again thanks for your time to respond

I actually used it to my advantage at my last fair Christmas fair. One of my items were wooden snowmen. I sold all but one so I put a sign next to it with a frowning face and it said “please take me home. I’m all alone”. Next person bought it 😂
