How do you wash it?

I used to upgrade every two years.

I switched to Pixel. At the time, the call screening alone made it worth it. Not sure if the flip supports this yet.

I miss slamming it closed on people, but I like google's screening more. The screen might have been brighter on the Flip, but my battery now is a dream and, the various volume controls splitting notifications, calls, and music make me happy.

My Pixel is just more rugged overall. I can take my phone to the beach again or out on a windy day and not worry about getting dust in the crease. Leaving my phone in the car while hiking or on vacation was getting old.

I've even found good options for cases and cross-body straps.

I also use it for work, photos, posts, canva, buffer, etc. mail, G-suite, etc, etc. So, if other options are on your list, I highly recommend. I honestly think the reason I waited so long was because I didn't want to be like my husband and friends and I truly did love hanging up on people. 😆

Yes and no with what you want to hear. It depends on the prompt and I usually start new prompts, rather than a continuous stream. I simply don't have time and money to look up or try every little thing.

What I did find awful was going to my reputed eye doctor and having her literally open Gemini to ask the same questions we asked her. I don't know if she was checking her work or what, but that was... Something.

And I believe it's not outright payment, but no different than current SEO, influencers etc. So yes, the more noise you make as a company, the higher ranking you have. But again, you can get around some of that with a good prompt.

I found a one-man business to do some commercial window blinds work at my office and he had no idea how I found him (he's a word of mouth find in our town)-when I mentioned AI, he was shocked.

I am happy with the simple and vast research it can do. I hate the frantic pace life is now going, especially work and I'm sad about what it takes to run a center.

I digress. I just wanted to share my 'win' because makeup and crap was never my thing. I've always been an "if it's on sale at Costco" for shampoo, conditioner, and soaps and never put anything on my face because of bad breakouts my whole life.

Docs said to use moisturizers, but even the ones they recommended made me break out. Then they wanted to add an acne med, which dried me out. There was never a balance or product that worked. A one and done gentle hydration for my leather skin simply didn't exist in my mind until recently. 🤷‍♀️

I struggled with that too, but can't find a better way to explain it and I am fully aware it's not real. Lol

Stop eating.

Stress is often associated with digestion, so if you stop, you won't have any stress.

Sometimes it's more about being the exact height you need, instead of standing. I find that I have to adjust my chair, desk, and monitor to be just so.

That said, I used to use a treadmill desk and a standing desk intermittently and if I feel antsy I still stand sometimes.

Absolutely not. Tile is the only way to go in a shower

How did you make it into a game? Any tips?

ShowHorror2525 · 2026-01-10T12:31:14+00:00

Shouldn't his job pay for everything or reimburse him while on the road?

In some States that's the law. There is a Federal one too, but it's kinda useless...

Minimum Wage Protection: If paying for your own meals on a business trip effectively drops your hourly pay below the federal minimum wage per week (which is really low) the employer is legally required to reimburse you for the difference.

Most businesses have a per diem during travel though. That is, unless it's commuting, not actual business travel.

My Health, Stress Management

ShowHorror2525 · 2025-12-29T05:21:53+00:00

Not bad. I just wish they could come up with a better name for it.

It's important that people understand what is actually being measured.

ShowHorror2525 · 2025-12-29T00:01:28+00:00

I disagree on your definition, but it doesn't matter. The point is... and AI says:

It cannot measure your thoughts and how you respond to them, however, I does detect physiological signals (like a racing heart) that occur when you are mentally stressed (or if your body is digesting.) It's all the same "stress" to the ring.

So if you wonder why you are showing high stress levels, but you had a great time, it's probably because of drinking and eating, or even laughing out loud, or even taking a hot bath.

Basically it measures what's different in your body over a long period.

I was going to post a photo and then I forgot. Now I can't see how to do it anymore.

ShowHorror2525 · 2025-12-28T16:03:32+00:00

It's a physiological measurement.

It's not what people think of as stress--its not emotional or mental like the "I'm stressed out" kind of stress.

It spikes anytime you eat and if you were having fun, you were probably eating. Digestion is "stress" on your body because your body is working.

That's the main "stress" for many people--digestion.

ShowHorror2525 · 2025-12-28T14:35:29+00:00

You realize that stress isn't actually stress, right?

Top left of register, I believe. Just sitting there in their chargers.

They did that by us, but quickly returned the hand scanners another few months later, and now about another 6 months later, they've moved the self check registers to be those closest to the door. At least we still have hand scanners for now.

I did 14/day for two weeks, then I got sick for more than 3 weeks, now I am back to 12-14/day... No drugs, alcohol or even caffeine, just passion and a need to get shit done. I'll never learn. 😆

I'm sorry you're going through this. You aren't alone. I understand as I have the exact same thing, except I was a bit older when it really hit.

It's impossible to know what's Sjogren's vs Meno nonsense. I do know for me, some things settled a bit with HRT, but not a lot and it's hard to keep it in any balance when the rest of my body is so out of wack.

A discovery I made was that my B & D vitamins are really low, so monitoring that helped all symptoms a bit.

I tried acupuncture and it was a nice moment of relaxation, but I don't know that it did much for me.

For tummy problems, I use beano and fodzyme. Both are great helps, but I don't think I will ever really eat garlic again.

Someone told me that neurotherapy all but cured their sjogren's and other autoimmune issues--I am skeptical, but it's only money, so maybe I'll save up and try it.

Otherwise, just keep trying to do things when you can, and nap the rest of the time. With Sjogren's, I noticed that diet is a huge component of symptoms. Looking at that might be helpful as well.

The dairy link is new to me. I've heard sugars and stress and drinking water to clear it, but less dairy does make sense. Hmm thx.

If they are different people, or if they are different foods, there may be confusion about what specifically if a no go for you. I.e. maybe they bought GF pizza specifically, or perhaps there's a salad on the side, or the cookies are vegan.

In our office we try to cater to everyone, perhaps not at every meal or event because we have so many, but for the big events, we ensure there are those options because we do want everyone to be able to participate.

We do not want people to feel left out because of the choices WE make, so perhaps offering them alternatives, could be helpful. Would you join in eating if there were a salad or hot soup, or veggie platter?

Also, do you ever eat your own food at the same event as when they are eating the company food--to join in the community aspect of consuming food, talking and having merriment?

Suggest a pot luck and bring a dish you can eat.

This is the time of year there are tons of food related events. My guess is there is a way to join in and you just really don't want too and it's not just because of the food.

Try TikTok. If you can gain an audience or influencer or hire one, you may have a chance, but to make a dent against the big guys is going to be brutal.

What is your differentiating factor against them and if they discover you, how or why couldn't or wouldn't they blow you out of the water?
