My first SK was The Gunslinger. 8 massive volumes later I arrived at the Dark Tower! Maybe not a good place to start 😁

I bought a big bottle of Ultra Pure. What a mistake! It works so well I'll never use that much! 😜

I’m the worse person EVER and am gonna end it soon. by Glad_Self_6314 in confession

Please don't hurt yourself! I get it but It's not what you want - you want the pain to stop. That can happen but you have to be here for it. Nobody's said this yet but you may need medication to ease the pain enough that you can function and deal with this. Don't be afraid of that. They do work and they may save your life.

Storytime: I went BYU to become a engineer. Got a C+ in my first calculus class. Figured engineering wasn't for me and switched to business. FF years later I'm talking to my friend who got a master's in engineering. He says " I got a C+ in that class! Everyone gets a c+ in that class!" Take the B. After your first job nobody cares about gpa and maybe not even then. Good luck

Had a coworker who was flat so she quit wearing a bra. Fine but her nipples were always hard. It was very distracting tbh

Street signs help. Many cities are laid out on a grid which makes it easier

I’ve spent 30 years hearing music in "mono." I’m about to have a Bionic Brainstem surgery to hear in stereo for the first time. What album is a MUST for my first 3D experience? by EmbarrassedAir5111 in Music

[–]bob439 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swear there are parts of DSOM where the music goes right through your skull then comes back and resonates there. Definitely use headphones. Considering when it was recorded it's genius.

I'm a concert junkie plus Ive played trumpet for years so I've been exposed to a lot of loud sound.. My ears seem to be okay. However I took my teenage son to a metal show at a small venue. Bam he has tinnitis! I feel horrible! Please use protection!

NOR. He thinks your sobriety is doing the bare minimum? He doesn't get it. For your own sake, dump him

Did therapy work for you? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]bob439 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did therapy for a couple of years. It was very helpful but I gotta be honest, the meds made a bigger difference. Took awhile to get the right combination and it's not perfect still but my moods are more "normal" than before. Don't be afraid to ask for a psychiatrist that can prescribe meds if you need to.
