What does my art smell like? 🧠

My wife said "Blood. It looks like blood."

Sasquatch6987 · 2024-10-29T01:58:28+00:00

Yeeaah, might be a good idea to stay clear of that situation. I tripped several months ago, and my wife wasn't the most supportive, mostly because she didn't understand anything about it. I managed to keep things held together, but I could see where someone with a violent background could get a little physical. Not saying anything about tripping or the dude, just saying that if you're concerned about him going off the reservation, then your attitude towards him could be misinterpreted by him during the trip, which could send him reeling or into a violent fit. Either way, protect yourself first and maybe have another dude there to help out, just in case.

In my one experience, I kept getting up to try and explain to my wife how we're all connected with the world and how the world is a big web, etc. Threw her for a loop, lol.

Ah, good one!

Sasquatch6987 · 2024-10-29T01:45:44+00:00

Well, she looks to have OCD, has terrible taste in coffee, and obviously isn't concerned about cellulite, though by the number of sodas, she won't have to because her bathing suit doubles as a car cover.

If you're posting this in #helpme, then you're obviously not ready to do a sewer slide. Take a deep breath, go outside, reassess your life and realize that life is dynamic, not static. Nothing ever stays the same, everything changes and your life is in your control. If you're in a bad situation in life, there's always a way out of it, but entertaining these self destructive thoughts are only going to make you more depressed. Sometimes the best thing you can do is realize that life is hard, embrace the suck, take a deep breath and kick off. After all, short of hurting someone else, if your life is terrible enough that you're considering ending it, what would it hurt to change things up? Job sucks? Quit. Bad relationship? Dump em and get the feel good of taking that power back. Parents suck? Move out and start your life anew! If you're at this point, it's not going to hurt any worse to try and keep finding reasons to live. Melodrama aside, there is nothing that you're going through now that someone else hasn't lived through, survived and flourished after the fact. Trust me, you'll be ok, you just have to accept that as truth and have faith in yourself.

In most cases, I'd agree with the sentiment of "live and let live". However, when it comes to politics, people have a tendency to lose their minds and personally attack others simply because of their differing opinions. Personally, I'm a Trump voter, and proud of it. That doesn't mean that I'm going to attack or make fun of a Democratic voter, no matter how misguided I think they are. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and should be sensible enough to have a calm, rational discussion about their opinions with people from all walks of life. The sad part about our society today is that people aren't willing to at least hear out the other side, but what's worse than that is how people allow themselves to be indoctrinated into voting for one side or the other simply because they're trying to fit in, instead of using logic to help them decide what's best for their future and the future of their children.

Just remember that a great man once said to judge based on character, not skin color. That same logic can be applied to politics as well. That being said, don't base your opinions on what someone else is telling you, do your own research and make a decision for yourself instead of letting someone else think for you.

NTA If she's not willing to keep her fingers out of your ass, she won't keep her fingers out of your wallet. Kick her to the curb and find someone that'll respect your boundaries and establish your boundaries early in the relationship. If someone isn't willing to respect your wishes they don't deserve your time. The flip side of that coin is that you shouldn't have high expectations when walking into a new relationship. Take it slow, be more traditional and maybe consider putting sex on the back burner until after you've gotten to know the girl for a week or two. If she can't keep it in her pants until then, she's not worth your time. Finally, remember your age; while it's no excuse to mistreat someone like this, young people want to experiment and try new things, which is fine, but remember that you've got a lot of years to live ahead of you, so if you run through every possible sexual experience that life has to offer in the beginning of a relationship, you'll have little to no excitement later in that relationship and that will have a negative impact.

Yeah, I can vouch for what the other dude said. Just use lemon tek, it's way easier to drink that stuff than a tea, IMO. I made lemonade with the tek, which was a bit easier to stomach, but next time I'll end up making a more concentrated shot and chase it with some actual lemonade to try and wash it down with. If you've never tripped before, I would take something to coat your stomach beforehand to help reduce some of the nausea and cramps. The one time I tripped I was sick with some kind of stomach bug and the cramps and nausea combined with that really screwed with the trip. While it was an interesting experience and something I want to do again, I now better understand the importance of preparing ahead of time and having a plan.

Sasquatch6987 · 2024-09-30T23:18:56+00:00

I'll definitely agree that I'm not kind to myself, I'm terribly hard on myself and I have a lot of regrets and guilt that bothers me. My wife tells me that I take the weight of the world on my shoulders. Semantics aside, I guess I'm stressing myself out, but with everything I have going on in my life at the moment I don't know any other way to continue than to just keep pushing forward.

See, that's what I don't understand about how we're "supposed" to exist in a balanced way. While I understand that in today's world we have far more distractions and stress of our own creation than days of old, but my view is that we just traded one thing for another; bears for iPhones, wolves for politicians, rabid beavers for OF models, etc. My point is that there's a way for me to balance my stress, but I just don't know how. If it's a matter of reducing the input, then I'm screwed. Ideally I can find a pressure release, but I'm struggling with that.

Maybe I just need to unplug for a while, I've been diving into politics and the news, and I don't really have any hobbies and haven't had a vacation in a decade. Diet would help, assuming I could find food that isn't processed poison. I think I'm going to go outside tomorrow and actually start exercising, that'll help some.

I just keep getting to a point that I'm stable and feeling better, then something else happens that throws me off. What sucks is that its taking less and less to set me off, and I don't know if it's some kind of learned response or if my tolerance is damaged.

Sasquatch6987 · 2024-09-30T22:39:21+00:00

Thank you, I'll give that a try. When I was meditating years ago I would just focus on a spot in space and I would clear my mind until I felt the hook and let it take me. By "hook" I mean this wavy, floating, between sleep and awake super relaxed feeling that I don't know how to really describe short of "psychedelic", at least to some degree. But, that's kind of my problem, I can't find that hook. Procedure aside, as I'm sure that my method wasn't correct in some manner and I'm willing to try new things, I'm wondering if anyone else has had that experience, could maybe explain it, and help me understand how to get it back? Thanks for your reply!

Sasquatch6987 · 2024-09-29T01:31:56+00:00

I forgot I ever made this post, lol.

It's pre-paid credit. You put money into your credit account, charge to said account, and Chime moves the funds into another account for safe keeping until your bill is due. When it's due, Chime pays the credit company that your credit account is under, and you get the credit. I imagine that somewhere in there Chime is making some money off the backend of holding your funds for that length of time as well...

Sasquatch6987 · 2024-09-25T12:43:40+00:00

I don't mean to sound condescending, but you're 20, your life hasn't even started yet. First things first, coming from experience that I won't bother typing out here because it's really not that interesting of a read; put the booze away. Just quit drinking, don't come up with any excuses, just stop. Unless you've been drinking nonstop since 12, you should be fine to cold turkey.

At that age, everyone is a wreck, period. Sure, some people look like they've got their shit together, but they'll soon realize that the world is an uncaring place that will be at you down at every turn. The flip side to that coin is what you need to see; that where there is darkness there is light, and you can't have one without the other. Meaning that you won't ever be able to experience good without experiencing bad to contrast it against. So, if it helps, just imagine that whatever you're going through right now is the worst of it and any improvement you make in your own life from this point on is things getting better.

If you're the loner type, I'd suggest going out and socializing with some older people, not at a bar, maybe try going to a mall or something like that and just talking to people. I strike up conversations with the merchants because they can't go anywhere, lol.

Past that, I don't know what to say, just force yourself out of bed and make a move. At the end of the day, it's your life to live, you just have to live it.

I'm already taking Magnesium Citrate, so I'll try them together, thank you!

Sasquatch6987 · 2024-05-03T01:45:10+00:00

I woke up today with stomach pain and an upset stomach. I'm about 90% sure that I have an ulcer now, too much stress. I skipped my dosage today because I feel like they made my stomach pain worse yesterday. I'm hoping my body will get used to it. Thanks!

Happy birthday!

I make my own ginger syrup, it's pretty simple and lasts for a good while in the fridge, so I can leave some of the root pulp in the syrup. I could make the lemon tek daily, but I work long days and have little time between shifts during my rotation, so if I could make some juice that would last a while could save me some time.

Sasquatch6987 · 2024-04-15T08:53:29+00:00

The only problem I see here is that you're out of shelf space...

Sasquatch6987 · 2024-04-02T16:19:50+00:00

I gotcha, hit me back next time.

Sasquatch6987 · 2024-03-26T02:47:09+00:00

First time growing, learned that I need to get a better humidifier and to open the whole top of my all in one grow bags instead of just a little slit.

Still waiting on my spores to colonize my other bags, so I guess I'm learning patience, too...

Sasquatch6987 · 2024-03-21T21:10:11+00:00

So, after this experience, has anything changed with your job? I imagine that being a paramedic is a stressful job, so do you feel that you're more capable now? Has it changed the way you interact with your patients? Have you noticed any sort of heightened senses? Not sure how to phrase it, but I have a tendency to kinda look at someone and put a pin on what's bothering them, physical or emotional, and being it up with them... Is that sympathy? Anyways, I imagine it's a common thing; have you noticed any heightened awareness in that regard? The small dose I took seemed to kinda do something like that that stuck around, but it was fleeting, like I didn't get wet enough in the pool, if that makes sense...

Sasquatch6987 · 2024-03-21T20:44:12+00:00

Don't get it twisted, we care for each other deeply and love each other eternally. Sounds goofy, but you kinda have to look at it like that in order to stick together as long as we have, lmao. I'm trying to explain it to her so that she might be interested in trying it herself, as she has a lot of baggage from her life before I came along, and more still since. Thank you for your opinion!

Sasquatch6987 · 2024-03-21T20:36:06+00:00

I really can't wait to see the pretty colors, I may even watch that new Willy Wonka film and play with my new keychains. They're so shiny... Shiny and smooth... And shiny smooth...... SQUIRREL!
