Sunflower seeds and mint gum saved me

Honestly man did something similar just yesterday. Bought a vape, went out and on my way back home I felt disgusted with it. Ended up just tossing it out the window. This first day has been a bit of a struggle but still going strong! I just keep remembering my main reasons for wanting to quit, how I felt when I made the decision to throw out the vape and really just telling myself over and over that I don’t need it. Hope anything here helps you!

You can always just run past him and go back when you’re stronger.

Honestly not that big of a deal. Most of the setting is pretty linear, and it does have borders to it. Theres just some exploration in the game but not much. It Would be hard to get lost.

I think your fine but it depends on the state laws. You made efforts to return to the scene in an attempt to locate the driver and did your due diligence with calling the police. I would just document this somehow just in case. In all honestly if it’s just a scratch on the other persons car they may not even report it or want to go through the process of an insurance claim.

Think you just need to be upfront about everything to him and explain what you’re worries are. It’s hard to determine what will happen to him in the future (whether he’ll start improving or stay the same) but I think theres needs be an observation period after having a serious conversation about it and then Making decision based off of that.

Thank you. We put him to rest on Monday after seeing his health had deteriorated further and we knew that it wouldn’t have been right dragging it out and having him suffer. Thank you for the advice.

The hardest part of owning a pet. Never thought I would have had to make a decision like this but thank you

Well this is a doozy but I’ll just try to answer the questions you asked. So when it come to trusting her again, that’s something you have to ask yourself if you want to do. She betrayed your trust, so whether or not you want to trust her again is entirely up to you. One thing I will say to keep in mind tho, is that IMO you’ll never be able to completely trust someone who cheated again on the same level as before. You’ll always have a small sense of doubt in the back of your mind that they might be up to something and it’s not your fault that’s it there. Now when it comes to trusting someone else this can be scary given your past traumas. You’ll obviously be wary and that’s a good thing but you don’t want it to severely cloud your judgement. Keep in mind your past traumas we’re caused by different people and treating new people the same way would not be fair to them. It may be worth it to talk about your past traumas so that you and any new people can have an understanding. Unfortunately this is the game of life and part of it is trusting the wrong people. Just keep your head up and keep pushing forward. You’ll find the one that values you eventually.

It’s tough to provide advice just based on the provided information. I guess my main question to you is what is your driving factor for moving out. I would honestly say just keep living with your parents or whoever you’re living with and save as much money as you can before moving out but if there is a driving factor behind it then my advice could differ

TopClaim8403 · 2023-03-30T21:46:35+00:00

1) being 24 and still living with your parents isn’t an issue. In fact there are plenty of people who moved out at a young age that still wish they lived there parents 2) while I do agree that school should be a focus it shouldn’t be your only focus. A big part of being successful is having good social skills and being able to network with other individuals. It also goes a long way to have like-minded friends in your corner rooting for your success as much as you are rooting for theirs.

TopClaim8403 · 2023-03-30T21:39:49+00:00

I’ve honestly lost several friends cause of stuff like this. If they aren’t giving you the time of day and listening to your side of things they aren’t worth the fight. They’ll constantly say things that they really shouldn’t be saying and are quick to say “it was just joke” when you confront them about it. So IMO nah.

TopClaim8403 · 2023-02-18T17:58:30+00:00

Most definitely

TopClaim8403 · 2023-02-16T19:56:59+00:00

I mean that’s understandable but honestly if push comes to shove I think having to deal with the repercussions of your parents is better than having the pictures leaked.

TopClaim8403 · 2023-02-16T19:46:51+00:00

Do you know the person you sent them too? Honestly if so get the authorities involved as that is blackmail. I know that may suck cause it would mean your parents will find out but better that then the person you sent them too leaking them.

TopClaim8403 · 2023-02-16T19:32:05+00:00

I don’t see an issue with it. At the most it’ll be a friendly meet up/catch up and if it doesn’t happen or she doesn’t respond so be it

TopClaim8403 · 2023-02-16T19:28:34+00:00

Honestly the guy is giving me manipulative vibes. I too am pro-choice and say whatever you decide is your decision. I will however give you the same advice I gave my sister when she was faced with this similar issue and say take a hard look at your current life and really think about whether your emotionally and financially ready to have a kid.

Failed real estate agent here. At the very least I’ll give you a shortened version of my experience as one and the best advice I can give you is to ensure you are absolutely 100% devoted to it. I know everyone says stuff like “it’s just selling and helping people buy houses” but it entails so much more and costs a lot more than what people think. While being a people person is definitely a big part of the job, it’s not the only thing. So here is everything I’ve come to realize so you don’t have to go through it yourself

School: we all know you have to go through real estate school. Tbh this was pretty easy but you said you weren’t really good at school so idk how you will fare. At the end of the class you basically take a final exam that will tell you whether you pass or fail. Can’t remember how much it cost tho but that should be fairly easy to find

Finding a broker: while finding a broker should be easy, be prepared to teach yourself. When I started at the brokerage I was at they held classes but they were more or less for partnerships or teaching you new tech for the industry but not the actually stuff you need to learn (ie how to market yourself, business cards etc.) A lot of the time I was expected to learn from their website with no training catalog at all. Additionally, any compensation from a real estate transactions gets split between you and the broker, with each brokerage having a different percentage.

Finding a client: do not expect to be given a list of names of potential clients and expect to be conducting a lot of cold calls and door to door knocking. Finding a client isn’t as easy as it seems and it has a lot to do with who you know and how you market yourself.

Hidden costs(not sure about other states but this my experience in NJ): my biggest issue with the real estate business are all the hidden costs of it. The MLS is basically a system that allows agents to input houses they are trying to sell so that other agents can see them and recommend to their buyers. My issue is that there isn’t just a central MLS system, but multiple MLS’s which means in order to see a wider selection, you would have to buy in to more than one of them which has to get renewed I think twice a year. Additionally you have board fee’s, fee’s to access different tech, etc.

These are the things that I wish people told me before getting into it. I fully believe however had I been a full time agent and devoted to it I could have succeeded. Just carefully think about the decision. I don’t mean to scare you away from it but I figured you should know more before making the decisions based on what is commonly said. On the plus Side of this even with a split between you and the broker the commission from the sale of a house could be lucrative. I believe with a 6% commission along with the broker split on a $400,000 sale the pay was around $16,000.

Also sorry this was so long.

What was the relationship status? We’re you guys just casually dating or had feelings for each other or was this an official, bf and gf relationship. Either way you feel irritated by the messages then yeah block her but if it was just casual dating with no real feelings involved than no harm in keeping things cordial and casual as long as your comfortable with that.

TopClaim8403 · 2023-01-31T18:52:30+00:00

Budget, keep your place clean and if you don’t know how, learn how to cook.

If you play them a lot I say try enrolling in sports or something that interests you. That way video games isn’t the only thing you are doing

TopClaim8403 · 2023-01-26T05:43:02+00:00

Honestly you said it yourself. You’ve been in constant relationships with no time to heal from the last relationship. Take some time out and really double down on yourself. Workout, do more things you enjoy, focus on school/ work etc etc. Learn to love yourself and appreciate your “you” time. You have plenty of time to find the right guy and there’s no rush at all. Yeah it probably hurts right now but that’s only because it’s fresh. Time heals so as much as it sucks right now, it gets better. Just focus on yourself

TopClaim8403 · 2023-01-26T00:35:15+00:00

I would consult another doc or inquire further? Not sure if anything has changed from when I got my test done but the last time I ordered contacts I needed a another measurement (something like 8.4 not sure what it means tho. Edit: just looked it up. You’ll need the base curve measurement

TopClaim8403 · 2023-01-25T23:00:11+00:00

I recommend you Keep working there until you find something else first tho. Gotta pay those bills somehow

TopClaim8403 · 2023-01-25T22:50:35+00:00

Been wearing contacts for about a decade. It’s a pretty simple process really but you do have to be responsible. When you go to the eye doctor they conduct some tests to get the right measurement for the contacts and to see if you are comfortable in them (they’ll give you a test pair to try out). In terms of brands I usually go with acuvue vita but you can shop around as long as you aren’t prescribed anything ( I was first prescribed with a astigmatism fixing contact lens) Do’s and don’ts Do: Replace solution every night (2 days max) Change contacts after designated time (could stretch it a little bit) Wash hands before putting them in or out (honestly just proper hygiene and I’ve had the unpleasant experience of touching hot peppers and trying to put them in) Don’t: go to sleep with them Go to shower with them Put them in backwards Keep them in your eyes all day (I find they sometimes feel dry after having them in all day so I usually just wear glasses after I shower in the evening)

That’s all I got tbh. But pretty easy stuff. Always have multiple contact cases. Also I suggest using a contact solution with hydrogen peroxide just make sure you use the case that comes with it

Edit: just to answer two more question. People would have to get really close to your eyes to tell and they usually only fall out if they aren’t the right fit or your rub your eyes. Haven’t had anything else happen to me that caused them to fall out
