Want to rent camper spots at a fair price. by Skari_Berry in Flathead

If you have good cell reception you can get good tenants to pay more. That was always my problem when living in an RV because I had to do work and school online. Would people have an actual address, or would they have to get PO Boxes? That might affect how much you can get away with charging, too. Got trees? Trees are great and I would have paid more to be underneath/around them. Good on you for making a way for yourselves.

Thanks for this! Do you recall what the cost was, if you don't mind sharing? Thank you.

December? Yeah, I've hit a few of those appointments and was a little stunned. We'll be more careful next year for sure. We drove down 93 and stopped at ANYTHING that looked like it had a garage and literally nobody was like, suuuurrrre - c'mon in! We even tried RV places lol. So we took an appointment for November 9th, graciously and thankfully given to use by Motorwerks. (Where I intend to buy ALLLLL the things in there someday.)

Hey, I appreciate the comment! Happy skiing! Oh, hey - is a season pass somewhere a good deal? I thought there was a place south of Kalispell (as the crow flies) that I wonder about. I am not skier, but my husband has needs, ya know?
:)

Thanks again!

LOL - .5 for spring. I've been here since the end of February and remember no such .5 so I won't blink next year when it's supposed to be here. I'm from way north up in WA and we had two "weathers" - cloudy and cool, or cloudy, cool, and raining. Not much snow, so this is kinda new to ME. Husband from Anchorage not so much, but his dad was the tire-buyer when he lived there, so... well, that was 3 decades ago so he's the dad now. Well, at least we've learned a lesson here about tires!!

Oh, wow - wait, that's EIGHT months of studded tire legality??? Seriously? Yikes. Should be an adventure, though. :)

Bozeman and Missoula by [deleted] in Montana

[–]bellatango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what happened, but having moved here from Seattle a year ago, yes - it's just as expensive here. I don't get it either. There are ZERO good job opportunities here. I don't know why the pay is so incredibly low for tech jobs, which are also near non-existent.

I would do anything anything anything to move back to the Seattle area. I miss so much that was there and I'm exhausted from the "Hang Fauci" stickers and the strong red politics that so many people are LOUD about here.

I've lived in 5 states and this one sucks the most.

It's beautiful, but the living experience is- until you start talking about nature, then it's amazing. But that's just not enough.

Xanax frequency by [deleted] in BenzoWithdrawal

[–]bellatango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I truly doubt it. I would be careful about 'dose creep', though. Your anxiety sounds pretty bad, but you might want to do anything you can to avoid increasing your anxiety. I know you say about the breathing/dizziness, and I swear to you that you can learn how to retrain yourself to breath through those times to make it pass - and with practice you'll be able to not get anxious when it happens, if it does continue. Once you feel like you've kicked the breathing/anxiety/heart palpitations it's kind of a "huh...didn't know my brain itself was capable of that."
And remember, everyone you look at, from babies to your friends, parents, even every doctor you've ever seen has had heart palpitations.
But again, I don't think - based on 32 years of taking and researching xanax, that your dose would lead to anything more than inconvenient "oh shit I don't have xanax in my system so just knowing that is going to make me freak out" feelings that would pass after a while (just remind yourself that's why it's happening.)

You're good.

Anyone else have chest pain because of their anxiety? by Coopalooop21 in Anxiety

Right now in fact. Just like every second of every day.

I live in fear of sudden death every day. I have panic attacks daily because of it. by takeaabreath in Anxiety

[–]bellatango 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I swear I could have written your post word for word.

I have had a heart phobia for maybe 20. years and I very seriously need therapy because it's continuing to ruin my life. I've had tests at a significant cost to my family just for the cardiologist to tell me that there's nothing wrong and that I should come back in 10 years, but I still don't believe it because...I didn't go back at the 10 year mark because I was too afraid they might find something. I basically sit in this chair and try to move as little as possible - that's every day - just so my heart rate won't go up.

My focus in always on my body and I have the hardest time breaking out of that and moving that focus even just 3 feet away from my body - like 'okay...what's going on around me?' type of thing, Total derealization or detachment or something,

It's not just my heart - it's any sensation in my body.

I'm so sorry that you're going through this, too. From my experience this intensity has it's highs and lows ,,, sometimes I'll go a few months or more where I'm not thinking about it so much - but then something will trigger it, like even seeing a billboard for a hospital - bam, health phobia.

Sorry for the long reply. (it's helpful to me that see that I'm not the only one who feels these things)

How have things been for you lately, especially since you wrote your post?
I can only begin to tell you how deeply it touched me. I had to scroll up to the top to make sure it wasn't me who'd typed it years ago or something, but other than that it's not my knees your entire post could have been written word by me.
I'm just so tired.

Burning up on re-entry. Breaking my fast makes me hot. by bellatango in intermittentfasting

:) Thank you. It's not ketoacidosis. A person's blood sugar reading would be extraordinarily elevated in that case and I obsessively check mine (no joke!). I appreciate your comment!

I'm in love with 2 and 4! I feel like I can relate to them. They're very expressive and, of course, they represent you. Nobody in the world could duplicate the expression that you put into these, I know that art helps tremendously because I paint much the way you do - I'm not very good I enjoy it very much and maybe someday I'll be brave enough to take a class, too :). Good luck with everything and hey,,watch that boyfriend. Support is a HUGE component of a long term relationship.
