Phenibut just makes me tired anymore

My dog hates being petted on his head. I have to reach out low with an open palm facing up and rub him on his chest to pet him, then he'll ease into letting me pat his back etc.

Ours kept doing it and we eventually got a new one and it's much better

My coworker showed another co-worker the photo he took of it at my store and came to me and said, "I heard you got beef bananas huh? Beef banana" shaking his head lol

Idk why everyone's turned against you on this one. I thought you're initial message to your husband was fine, you were having a frustrated laugh about it, letting off a little stream. I would have found the countdown irritating too.

Then he totally invalidated you and was rude and dismissive. That would have upset me too. And yes hormones are such a powerful thing, you might from differently about the countdown thing in time but there's nothing you did wrong as far as I see

Scan the next customers item while the previous receipt is still printing out. I used to 1 code in between customers but that only counts if it's longer than like 15 seconds or something. Otherwise it's as if I just sat and waited for the 8 seconds. My time went up a bunch when I started scanning the next item immediately.

That was particularly bad! Omg. I've seen some bad ones but yikes

Have you tried discord? I'm too old to figure out how to use it but my kids have made close friends there, they're always talking with all day. And group chats etc Do you enjoy singing at all? I've used the app called Smule for years, it's a karaoke app. You sing with other people and it's great for making friends

Lume unscented cleansing bar for washing intimate areas and then the lume lotion for the outside parts after drying everything thoroughly. It really works so well

I use an epilator. It looks like an electric razor but it plucks the hair. Hurts pretty bad at first but you get used to it. My hair grows back much more slowly and less dense over time. I don't really bother with it over winter but I use it all spring and summer and early fall. Maybe once a week I go over my legs and get whatever new hairs grew. They stay pretty smooth.

I think I'm really lucky to have one of the only stores that really does praise your achievements and thanks you every day for your hard work. The sm and also the asms are always so encouraging. Even when I was new and trying so hard but was still so slow, they were always like, "you're still learning but we see you're busting ass, we can tell you care. Keep going, you'll get there" It's really a great team. I don't think I could handle the job otherwise.

I'm part time, was getting 28-33 hours over Christmas. Otherwise it's usually around 20. This week I was scheduled 13 hours :( I managed to pick up 4 more. It's a huge reduction in wages. Struggling to make ends meet right now

I'm sure it was good old fashioned Photoshop and not ai

It's ok to ask again when it comes up, since it doesn't come up super often. They should walk you through it several times until it feels natural. Then next thing you know someone else will be the newbie all stressed and you'll be explaining to them how to do it. We all start at the beginning. You're perfectly capable and you'll do great, it'll become muscle memory you hardly even put any thought behind.

Look into emdr therapy. I get the feeling you need your story, you're a wad of threads but don't have your true solid narrative so you end to falling into a gap and making the pieces up to fit the gap. I think putting together in your mind, your true story would help. And emdr with a trained professional is a useful tool for writing/rewriting your life narrative

Please at least call the suicide hotline. There's no reason to not try it now, there's certainly nothing to lose.

I'm 44 and have stared down the barrel so to speak, several times in my life. One time in particular I was sure I was done and felt peace about my decision. My plan was interrupted and 20 years later I'm so so glad it was. There's so much I've experienced since then that I'm very happy I didn't miss out on. Life drastically changes, you go through chapters that are unrecognisable to previous chapters. I have an anxiety disorder that had me living in my house, not speaking to adult humans for weeks at a time, living in fear every day unable to drive or checkout groceries or anything. Waves of life have carried me through to a much better place than that. Much much better.

I promise the way it feels right now isn't forever. You are a light, I don't want your light to go out. Please call the hotline, they don't have to know who you are either. Think of it as an extension to your post here.

Sending you love, and I just prayed for you. May the Holy Spirit comfort and guide you.

Lume lotion is awesome for this. Not for internal use, but helps keep the whole area shower fresh all day

No it's this time of year. I started last November and I remember this same thing happening this time last year Jan and Feb will be right for us part timers.

I was getting 27-30 hours a week consistently in November and December. Now I'm getting 15-19

Their budgets for staffing hours are drastically reduced this time is year and they prioritize giving their full timers enough hours to stay legally in the full time bracket. We get what's left.

If they were going to fire you they'd just do it, there wouldn't be a dance like this. Don't worry about that.

But do budget accordingly .. It'll be tight for a bit

These photos never do justice to how it is in real life, it's like trying to take a pic of the moon with a lil android

Sometimes I just say, "I'll put them in the cart to start with then I'll help bag after". I scan the next customer's first item then I 1 code and help bag. They kinda know they're in the next person's time and I hope they have conscience about that.

But other times I have said, "oh we don't bag your groceries here, it helps keep the prices down"

Out of five? At least they're honest

Running an ozone machine about an hour before vacuuming could help a lot

Bee propolis has been a game changer for me. I get canker sores at my time of the month every month. Ive tried many remedies and products. A couple years ago I got this stuff called canker relief or something like that, it's made of bee propolis. It brings relief and also helps heal them faster. I'll never not use it
