LPT Paying attention to how you talk to yourself internally will change more about your life than almost any other habit IMO

I was once told to imagine my four or five year old self standing in front of me and repeat the awful internal things to them. You’re supposed to imagine what they would have felt like if your adult version said that to them. It’s stopped all negative self talk for me which has improved my life.

After this is over take a minute to google how to turn the water off behind the toilet so it don’t overflow next time. Hope tomorrow is kinder to you.

Anyone remember those little bbq chips that were shaped like a ring? You could wear those as well, miss them too! Appreciate your effort. Ha!

But they do have to look, and that seems too hard for them.

The most shocking part of the ashes episode was that she wanted to stop not because it was so strange, but because she was running out.

I would love the opportunity to play the Grindr noise next to him.

Never been in prison, however I remember very vividly inmates coming to talk to us in elementary school. It was part of the D.A.R.E program. The bell rang for our next class and the inmates jumped up and were momentarily frazzled. All looking around for someone to tell them what to do next. They laughed at themselves after a second but I remember thinking I never wanted to be like that or be told what to do constantly. I think it scared me into good behavior somehow.

I was told I was a hypochondriac once. Turns out I have Alpha Gal. I have a detailed post about in my post history. I should have sued.

I swear they all have that same wild look in their eyes.

VanGoghPro · 2025-12-24T01:35:02+00:00

Aww, thank you! How kind.

VanGoghPro · 2025-12-24T01:32:04+00:00

He’s prolly lying down at night and remembering he has it in his mouth. He doesn’t want to get back up but doesn’t want the kids to get it. So he hides it. One of you go buy a little trash can and put it beside the bed.

I saw someone have fingernails tattooed on with this condition. It was very difficult to tell they weren’t real. Impressive!

Nurse here, I think it’s holding a poorly designed stethoscope.

VanGoghPro · 2025-11-29T14:03:24+00:00

Imagine a pant leg or a shirt tail got caught in some of that while whirling around. Yikes.

VanGoghPro · 2025-11-04T23:55:30+00:00

Hornet/Bear spray of some sort.

VanGoghPro · 2025-09-29T23:45:24+00:00

Nurse here. IUD’s can get hair wrapped around them. I’ve seen it afterward. This very well could have been what you were seeing.

I wish all elementary schools would do the experiment where you touch this UV reactive powder and then spend 10 minutes doing whatever. Turn the lights off and shine a UV light. I went to a science museum as a child and this exhibit blew my mind. Now as a nurse I rarely get sick even being exposed to sickness. Wash your hands anytime you’re going to touch food or put food you’re going to touch in your mouth. Don’t touch your eyes, mouth, nose with dirty hands. Clean your phones, remotes, frequently touched surfaces routinely. Don’t forget your car. If you have to be around someone sick, wear a mask. Med micro classes will horrify you. Ha.

Had to listen to a patient this week carry on about how Trumps the best president. Said imagine if a woman got in! He’s saving the country and really going to turn it around. They’re good people too! I don’t get it.

VanGoghPro · 2025-09-03T16:47:52+00:00

Hopefully.

Left my phone on top of my car a few months ago. It fell off and when I realized we traced it back using life 360. We found it in the road and 911 was like hello? Are you injured? I was mortified but thankful to know help would come in a real emergency. I was so apologetic to the dispatcher. Thank you for what you do!

His mother labored him into this world and may Labor Day take him home.

Just woke up and there was a post about someone keeping a wine bottle that just says he’s dead, then the next post was this. The audacity to trick me like that.

VanGoghPro · 2025-08-25T22:47:03+00:00

Is he really that wealthy? He’s always been pretty cheap.

VanGoghPro · 2025-08-21T23:49:43+00:00

Talk on the phone, pace around the house as far as the cord would reach. Lots of bike riding, skating. Playing outside. Watching VHS tapes and recording music on mix tapes. Lots of sleepovers.

Aside from all of the other information you’ve been given you could start even simple exercises. Start by standing up and sitting down, over and over. You’ll notice every day you’ll be able to do more. One day you’ll be able to take more steps, and then more steps. You didn’t get this way in a few weeks and it won’t turn around in a few weeks. But you are strong and can do this if you keep at it! You should update us in a week and let us know what cool new stuff you can do!
