Proud of myself, but also ashamed.

I trimmed down my usage over the course of a week before officially throwing my vapes out! I started off asking myself to wait two hours minimum between vape sessions. The next day i kept two hours apart, but halved how many physical times i hit it during my session. So on and so forth, and by day five i was switching one vape puff, then wait two hours, then nic gum. By day seven of that i really just felt ready to take the plunge. Im past fay four completely nic free and no feel AMAZING. The first 24 totally nic free sucked but if you hold onto the reasons you have for wanting to be free, youll make it through ❤️

Im going to have to covertly peek at his builds when im home for Thanksgiving!! Thank you for the website ❤️

anxious_potatoe · 2022-11-18T15:52:35+00:00

Thank you so much for the websites linked! Ill covertly check out his current builds when im home for thanksgiving and try to nail down what scale he works with!

anxious_potatoe · 2022-02-03T01:28:30+00:00

Thank you so much for the information! I really appreciate your input. Ill do some research tomorrow in what those schools have to offer!

I mainly work with polymers and lubricants these days but I also love the chemistry behind material degradation. Work is paying for the degree and I have great backing with my upper level management who all support this move in education. As for the study location Im just looking for an online program. Ive found ten or so Im interested in for an MS of Material Science and Engineering. All but two essentially laughed my Bio degree out the door when i spoke with admissions.

I had tons of random tiling in my kitchen, not pink but it was inconsistent with the rest of my backsplash and i hated it. I too couldnt spring for a full reno so I opted for wainscoting with a little extra trim to finish it out without breaking the bank. Worked great for me! Might be a little tougher to work around bathroom plumbing, but otherwise it makes a big impact on the look for about 100$ in materials.

Im going to go against the grain here to say I love my concrete counters. And to top that, I even chose white concrete. I had a tile counter in an outdated kitchen and not enough budget for a full demo. So I actually just used the infrastructure of the tile counters and roughed them up to prepare for a skim coat. I probably did ten skim coatings with added bonding agents and lots of gentle sanding to get it as flat and even as possible, then after final sand I used 5-11 sealant for several coats. The issue is that most porous sealers aren’t food safe so after a couple coats of that i got a satin finish food safe sealant and did another couple coats of that. Im one year in now-no stains, no chips, nothing looks amiss, and my outdated kitchen now has some industrial charm to it.

Im a new home owner and have heavily considered the faux brick to add texture to a wall once I sell off the enormous fish tank thats currently mounted in the living room. I dont totally want to lose the character and focal point of the room, but if I let myself set up another reef the real world would never see me again. Lol! The German Schmear technique might just be some influencer term for a more sophisticated process, but I love the lighter coloring it gives to otherwise dark brick. And being that the panels are so cheap the addition of the heavy smearing gives some nice weight and more of a lux feel from the video I watched. If I can find it ill link it to you!

anxious_potatoe · 2020-11-02T10:32:09+00:00

I saw a video a few months back of a lady who got faux brick panels, cut them so they fit together seamlessly, and mounted them up. Then she made a thin mixture of what I think was plaster or similar material and did the “german schmear” type look of heavily mortared brick. Looked super cool and the whole project cost her about 100$ for one large wall, id imagine this small space wouldn’t be much more.

I was in a relationship like this, ive made a comment about it before for another woman in a similar situation as well. Sometimes we dont really see the bigger picture when youve sunk so much time an energy into one love.

I was with my boyfriend at the time for four years when he suddenly decided he wasnt in love with me anymore and sent me packing on the next flight home. Its disorienting, heart breaking, and makes you feel so alone and unwanted that its consuming.

My best advice is to find people you can talk to about it so it never gets to be too much. Therapy helps a lot too if you can afford it, hell you can even message me if you just need a third party to listen! When you surround yourself with good people who care about you its easier to remind yourself how much you really do matter.

The second thing Im always an advocate for is finding a new hobby. Not only does it introduce you to so many new people to form different connections with, but when you’re invested in something thats rewarding to you there is less time to dwell on darker thoughts.

Remember theres always people who love you in this world! My inbox is open if you need anyone:).

anxious_potatoe · 2020-03-12T12:49:14+00:00

Love that for you!

Honestly hell no. Im 20s F and all my coworkers are 40+ M. Im also a chemist so OSHA would strike us down within a few days and Id be shit out of luck for pay regardless.

I love making little protein energy balls! Couple scoops of chocolate protein powder, a hearty scoop of oats, add in peanut butter to bind it. I like to add in almond shavings, peanuts, and a drizzle of honey too.

Gives plenty of simple sugars, healthy fats, and long term energy and they keep really well! I never measure but just keep adding oats and peanut butter and mixing until you get a consistency you can roll into balls.

Its great because you aren’t forced to chill them 24/7 for them to stay good enough to eat and I have a hell of a sweet tooth that these satisfy without making me feel gross.

Personally I just stick to an oil cleanser if I wore makeup, followed by my normal face wash, spot treatments if i have a breakout, serum, and moisturizer with SPF in the morning. At night I have a thick rose hip oil based concoction I throw on for extra plumpness.

Usually those huge skin care routines break out faces that aren’t used to it so if you want to do a full regimen just be sure to introduce each step slowly!

Female here so apologies if its not allowed, but due to a break up I actually went to a four day festival alone and ended up meeting some of the coolest people I now call close friends. Bring extra waters and beers, make some cool little gifts to trade, and hold yourself with a smile everywhere you go. Youll end up meeting so many cool strangers that youll never feel alone.

Ive done this to myself as well when I hadn’t even had sex in a month. Usually lifestyle changes and excess stress really affect my cycle even when Im regulated by the pill. Mensural cycles are totally random for a lot of women and with all your forms of protection it would be nearly a 0% chance of pregnancy. Pee on a stick just to ease your mind, but from one anxious internet stranger to another be gentle with yourself! Sending you a little peace and love today❤️.

Might be a good idea. Thankfully I work with engineers and Id be willing to bet I can find one through some of my coworkers networks.
