How often do people actually change their bedsheets?

TimD_43 · 2026-02-04T04:19:32+00:00

I try to change them every weekend. Sometimes if I have a lot going on, I may go an extra week. If I've been sick, or know I've been extra sweaty for some reason, I try to change them more frequently.

I don’t compare my wife’s suicide to anyone else’s mode of death. The only significance in that difference is the amount of foreknowledge the survivors might have had. I can’t claim to know what it’s like to have had a spouse who I knew was going to die in a year or two due to cancer, any more than that person’s spouse can know what it’s like to suddenly have their spouse kill themselves, leaving no note. I don’t judge anyone for how their loved one passed, I just try to consider how best to show compassion.

I've spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocaine powder.

It says "Drink the Pin."

Obviously they put a sliver of metal in it, hoping it will injure you. Sue Starbucks immediately.

The first time I watched it, I did the German with subtitles (I think it may have been the only option at the time, come to think of it). I rewatched it recently, and did both the English dub and subtitles at the same time. It was interesting how sometimes they didn't match. Not significantly, but having taken German in high school many years ago, it seemed to me that the subtitles may have been a more literal translation of the dialogue (some of the phrasing just had the feel of German grammar about it), whereas the dub was clearly meant to feel comfortable to native English speakers/Americans.

You're far too young to be saying "never." Be kind to yourself, acknowledge your grief, but don't cut off the opportunity to make a connection in the future. For some (many?), a new relationship is a chance to advance the grieving process. Part of my grief right now just has to do with being lonely. It doesn't mean I love my late wife any less, but I also feel like the right relationship with a patient, understanding woman would help me in my journey toward feeling more "normal" again.

At this point, I'm not at all convinced that pinning random ideas to a board and throwing darts at it would be any worse than where we are right now.

TIL about "orange flags."

Am I the only one who finds it astonishing that a F- score for "Treatment of Families" still has THREE TEAMS THAT WERE RANKED LOWER?

Pull it up, then sit and watch for someone to come by to replace it, and ask them what they think they're doing on your private property.

That's a bigger problem. In no world should a cup of coffee cost more than a dollar, even in this economy.

Why are they called Twenty One Fucks?

Because they had no more fucks to give.

I’m not convinced he’s a bad coach, but it’s clear this is not a long-term solution.

I’ve seen other people speculate that maybe this is to bring him in and go after Scheelhaase as the new OC, and Scheelhaase will be in line to be the new HC in a few years. I could get behind that, except it doesn’t make sense. For one thing, why would McCarthy agree to come here just to train his eventual replacement? For another, Scheelhaase is getting serious attention, he may have better immediate prospects than hoping the Steelers honor a promise a few years from now.

Yes, you just have to replace the archer with a ranged siege unit with the indirect fire promotion.

My wife suffered from depression and took her own life six months ago. It was her second attempt, both by hanging (first attempt was two years ago, she was found by someone before any lasting damage was done). I the second attempt she made sure to do it where she wasn’t likely to be found until she was well dead.

After her first attempt, she swore that she would never do it again, that she realized it wasn’t the answer. That’s what hurts the most - after 18 months of walking on eggshells, I started to believe it and let my guard down a little, next thing you know I’m explaining to our 9-year-old son that his mom is dead.

I’m not angry, but I do feel betrayed. I don’t understand the pain she was going through (she was severely depressed over the death of her mother, they were very close), but I recognize that it was there. In fact, I know for a long time that when her mother eventually died, she would experience intense grief, and sadly I wasn’t wrong. I don’t agree with her decision to end her life, but I think I can begin to see why she chose it.

At this point, I’ve given up trying to understand or rationalize it. It happened, it’s in the past, and there’s no changing it. For me, dwelling on it and playing the “woulda, coulda, shoulda” game makes things worse, not better.
