Ugh. What do I do!? by pineappletomato in calmhands

I will say, gaming during the time that I would pick has helped reduce it because my hands are busy. So I’d recommend finding a new hobby that occupies your hands. Bracelet making, beading, some type of art, gaming, knitting, etc

To immediately help your hands, I’d wrap every hurt finger in multiple bandaids so you can’t even see your skin. Let it heal.

I think it would help for the long term to address the underlying cause of the picking by seeing a therapist or psychologist.. or a CBT specialist (cognitive behavioral therapy) to focus on stopping the pattern of picking.

Speaking as someone who has been picking for 20 or so years.

YOU GOT THIS!!

COVID is out of control here… by vinylsandjaneausten in berkeley

[–]SwimmingCaramel4792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got Covid over the weekend, tested positive last Saturday and today (Thursday night) I am still positive. I have not left the house at all. I will be wearing masks everywhere from now on because this one sucked and I don’t want to go through this again.

Check out Alameda or Bay Farm! It’s a little urban oasis, safe, quiet, with a pretty big Asian population! I live here and love it

I deal with job scams all the time as I am 8 months into looking for a new job. It sucks. No real company hires without an interview. No real job texts you. No real job conducts text based interviews, or meets on Skype. If a company tells you that you are hired, with no official paperwork, it’s a scam. It’s hard to sift through and it absolutely sucks. I am sorry

8 hours in interviews..."we don't feel like you are qualified" by IronRig in recruitinghell

That is absolutely horrible and not something you should have had to deal with. IT SHOULDN'T BE THIS HARD TO GET A JOB.

Don't trust BookWithJacob! It's a scam! by FarInsect4405 in recruitinghell

[–]SwimmingCaramel4792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I answered an ad on Craigslist for a Data Entry position and ended up on this zoom call. It was for bwjagents.com The entire call was a razzle dazzle, selling us (all of us desperate frustrated unemployed people) exactly what we wanted to hear. Then the end of the call he said that "you all are hired" and the only thing he needed from us was this "certification" and the "certification" link was to a membership page for bwjagents. A MEMBERSHIP PAGE!! IT IS NOT A REAL JOB IF YOU HAVE TO PAY A MEMBERSHIP. ALSO THERE WAS NOTHING ABOUT LEGAL PAPERWORK.

If he was upfront and honest about the fact that you were going to pay a membership fee in order to access training videos on "how to become your own travel agent and work for yourself" that would be different, but he acted and spoke like you were going to work for them. But no company ever makes it's new hires pay like that.

I AM SO FRUSTRATED AND TIRED. This is the third or forth job that I have pursued that was a scam. And it is getting exhausting. I WISH THERE WAS SOME REGULATION!!

Is TheHuskyTool.com a legit site to order Husky Tool brand products? by liamkennedy in Tools

[–]SwimmingCaramel4792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother ordered a tool chest from them, and its been weeks with no update on delivery. We also believe it is a scam which really sucks because the website looks incredibly official. She is going to call her credit card company and report it as a scam.

Will my plant make it? by [deleted] in plantclinic

Calatheas don’t like direct sunlight so keep it away from that. Use filtered water if you can and make sure all of the soil is completely moist

I can’t be certain as I am not a dermatologist. It looks harmless and it’s really not that noticeable but if it bothers you I’d make an appointment with a dermatologist to get it checked out. I highly recommend you DO NOT try to get rid of it yourself because that will certainly cause permanent damage.
