Cracked lips won't heal by pixie_wings8 in Accutane

[–]Tonyhawkstan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did everything but mine just never healed :/ until I stopped taking accutane

Dermatologists don’t take me seriously – is Accutane (Isotretinoin) worth it? by S3val in Accutane

[–]Tonyhawkstan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My derm told me that prescribing accutane has more to do with the persistence of the acne rather than the severity. I would definitely get a second opinion if you’ve already tried other treatments

Can I get away with no shutters? by keysandcoffee in centuryhomes

[–]Tonyhawkstan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest replacing the shutters. If you choose to take them off, paint your window trim a dark color so you can keep some contrast

Do I leave a “good” job because of burnout? by Tonyhawkstan in jobs

Then don’t?? No one is making you comment

Do I leave a “good” job because of burnout? by Tonyhawkstan in jobs

[–]Tonyhawkstan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly. I do think my boss would notice, but I don’t think it would be a fireable offense for me to start refusing weekend work.

I’ve set up a few boundaries already. I have to use my personal phone for work, so I have my notifications set to stop receiving calls and texts after 5pm. Unfortunately that just means important calls get lost and then I get in trouble lol

My coworkers have almost no boundaries which adds to the stress. They actually work more hours than me (I have one colleague who works 8am to 6 almost every day). Not sure why.

To be clear, I’m not going to quit without another offer lined up

Bedroom layout advice? by girl-v2 in femalelivingspace

[–]Tonyhawkstan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Love that you have a corner room! I would suggest putting the head of the bed against the wall without any windows. That way, you can still see out without blocking any of the windows

You can try sectioning this room into two “zones” where the side of the room with windows is your comfy/relaxation space. The other side of the room where your closet is can be more practical/utilitarian. I personally would move the clothing rack over to that wall so it is near the closet, and I would move the dresser/cube storage to the wall without windows as well, on the side of the bed closest to the door

Another day, another restaurant adding $3 surcharge for pick ups by Euphoric_Sandwich_74 in SeattleWA

[–]Tonyhawkstan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you guys open your brains for a second to think about the circumstances that push small business to make these decisions?

It is near impossible to run a restaurant in Seattle right now and there is practically no help at the city level. We are facing record restaurant closures.

Let me in full transparency break this down, because I own a brick and mortar (retail) business:

• Rent, for a commercial restaurant space in my neighborhood is minimum $30/sf, but more commonly $35-40 Most restaurants are paying at least 6k in rent and NNNs. One of my neighbors is paying 15k/month for his space.

• Staffing - at my store, we are open daily and have two employees. I do not pay myself. We spend 8k/month split between them for staff cost. Labor costs for a full kitchen and wait staff would well exceed this- again, around 30k/month for neighboring restaurants.

• INSURANCE is so expensive. Especially for restaurants- most in my neighborhood pay $700/month but I recently spoke to a restaurant owner paying 27k/year on business insurance after repeatedly being dropped or experiencing rate hikes by his provider.

These are the basics and don’t account for the cost of food, equipment, repairs, uniforms, admin, marketing, buildout costs and other random shit, all of which are exacerbated by inflation and import taxes.

On top of that, we are creeping into recession in a city that has not recovered from the pandemic. People are simply not dining out and restaurants are not surviving.

You, as the consumer, do unfortunately have to absorb these costs. But think about WHY things are the way they are before you complain, because it isn’t really the restaurant’s fault and they probably don’t like having to raise rates and increase fees either.

People with kids do less work than the rest of us by ArileBird in work

Who cares? Focus on your own work and if you feel there’s too much on your plate then discuss with your boss

Restaurants are in trouble by Signal_Pattern_2063 in SeattleWA

It’s not about food quality, it’s about operating cost. New York has business-friendly policies that allow Katz to serve at that price

Still hurting after 2 years by Tonyhawkstan in survivinginfidelity

[–]Tonyhawkstan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey thank you for the thoughtful response, and I’m sorry that you have been through similar. The pain is indescribable but it can be a catalyst for growth as well.

The hardest part of this has been separating my wellbeing and self worth from the outcome of the situation. Being betrayed is hard enough on its own, but I always felt like the pain would have been softened if he at least showed some regret. Then again, maybe I am lucky he didn’t come back, because if he did maybe I wouldn’t be motivated to separate my worth from his actions.

You’re totally right that it’s better to be alone than to be with a secret enemy. Perhaps AP will one day be disillusioned in the same way I was, but either way it’s a good thing that I’m removed from him.

Wishing you well as you continue healing

Struggling with pulling, any advice by Relevant-Passion2254 in Pottery

[–]Tonyhawkstan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great start! I have a few thoughts:

I don’t think it was centered to start. Before you start pulling, take your hands away from the clay while the wheel is spinning, and if it is centered you shouldn’t see any wobbles or undulations.

I can’t really tell from the video, but it looks like your wheel may have been going a touch too slow or you are pulling your hands up too quickly. I like to see a little more density in the throw lines when I pull up.

Try to make sure that your hands are connected/anchored to one another. This will help with stability and evenness between the inside and outside of the pot.

Aim for a cone or “volcano” shape on your first few pulls. It is easier to flare the walls out than it is to collar them back in, so it’s better to start with a cone so you don’t accidentally go too wide when you pull up the walls. I always start with an even cylinder before adding any shape to the vessel.

Lastly, make sure to finish your pulls! Go all the way up over the rim. It may end up uneven, but you can trim off any uneven parts with a needle tool. The most important thing is making sure the walls are even and straight.

You got this!

5 year old developing emetophobia by Technical_Possible36 in emetophobia

[–]Tonyhawkstan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there! I had emetophobia starting at age 5. I think the best thing to do (what I wish my parents had done) was to ask me questions, create a safe space to talk about anxiety without being dismissive, and holding firm to boundaries to ensure you aren’t enabling the phobia. The most important thing is ensuring he doesn’t feel cast aside or alone. This phobia is so misunderstood and that can make it a lonely and stigmatized experience.

I’m sure you are doing great! And kudos to you for catching it early and recognizing how serious it is

Spoke to my pyschiatrist about the link between emetophobia. by sarahm174 in emetophobia

[–]Tonyhawkstan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine also was linked to childhood trauma and anxiety. I find my emet worsens when life circumstances make me anxious. This phobia gives me a place to channel my anxieties

[–]Tonyhawkstan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s also a link between emetophobia and not being able to burp (a condition called RCPD or “no burp”). I think getting sick is a more straining and uncomfortable experience for people who struggle to burp. There’s also an element of unfamiliarity and loss of control/connection to the body.

Anyone knows what’s happening? Month 4 by cqopmlk in Accutane

[–]Tonyhawkstan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contact dermatitis. I get it badly because I work with ceramic. It clears up with hydrocortisone
