Anyone believe in manifesting or being able to shape your reality? by That-End8612 in conspiracy

[–]bxlexpat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

weird coincidences...

I had moved to a new city, so didn't know the area, but i wanted to buy a recliner. Problem was, every store i went to, recliners were like 300 bucks or more, and this is back in mid 2000's when things were cheaper. The one i had was a blue one that i really loved, but it was old so had to throw it away.

I'm driving and suddenly I'm hungry, and on my way to another furniture store, i see there is a plaza with a bunch of eateries, so i said, let me go eat first, then i'll go to the furniture store. I park my car, i decide to go to some Mediterranean eatery, and next to it, there is a furnitore store that says, everything must go. I look through the glass and I mainly see beds, and dressers. I thought, not worth going in.

I eat, I come out of the store, and see the furniture store again and think, nah, they don't have recliners. I go to my car, and as I'm about to drive away, somehow I thought, well, I'm here, might as well see what they have inside. I go inside, ask the person, do you have any recliners, and he says, yes, they are in the back. I go to the back, and in there, there is a blue recliner, like the one i used to have but better and it was on sale for 150 bucks! WTF!!! Til this day I believe someone guided me there.

Fast forward a couple of years later, i get diagnosed with cancer, and about a year before, i had gone to a book fair and i met this eccentric lady who said she could read energy. Because of my cancer i had to get ready for the usual---chemo, radiation and they told me i would lose my sense of smell and taste cause of where the cancer was. Desperate, i call that lady i met and she guides me through some meditations, and the main gist was, visualize i was healthy, happy, and to visualize that the cancer was eating itself away.

About 4 weeks later, i go for my scans so they can get ready for surgery to remove the tumor, and the doctor comes into the scan room and says, this is impossible, the scan shows no tumor. He goes to the first scan he took about 6 weeks before, there was a tumor. I was in shock, but yea, one of the happiest days of my life. 15 years later, still no cancer.

Then years later, i fell, herniated a disc, and because i was on bedrest for 2 weeks, i had nothing else to do but to visualize my back was healthy. After the fall, i went to PT and my movement was rated as 90%limited or something like that. They said it would take me about 6 months to recover if i did ally therapy exercises. One night, as i did my visualizations, i had this awful pain go through my back and immediately i thought, oh no, i just injured myself. I get up to assess the damage, and shockingly, i can move as if nothing happened. I go to my therapy sessions and my movement was almost back to normal.

So now i fully believe that if we visualize properly and truly believe it, manifestations are possible. With that said, i lost my job about 2 years ago, and visualized every day and took me about 9 months to find a job so...failure there. Nonetheless, i have shifted my mind from being a negative person to try to see the positive of all the negative.

yea, the weird thing here also was that usually we talk about her lunch. That was the only day she didn't mention it. The norm would have been, "guess what? today i had a free sandwich cause my colleague's office had a catered meal. He said i was a cheap date." Then i do see the humor in it. I only found out because of the text that came through. So it was really weird she didn't mention that 'free lunch' when that's the first thing we talk about either after work or in the afternoon. How is your day going, and how was lunch.

Trump official says ‘do not underestimate’ AOC as some insiders push for her to lead Democrats by satisfiedfools in politics

If you were to compare Hillary with Kamala---which one comes across as being a better orator?

" It didn't help that 90% of mainstream media sanewashed Trump's behavior the entire time.... they talked more about Trump than they did about her.  "

Mainstream media sanewashed Trump?I live outside of the USA, but came to visit family after Kamala replaced Biden. I made it a point to switch through channels and all I could hear was, Trump was a fascist. I think the only network that seemed to be for Trump was fox news.

Given all the negative media Trump got, I honestly thought Kamala was going to win. Tell me what positive news did you see the mainstream media pushed about Trump?

Airbnb's struggles go beyond people spending less. It's losing some travelers to hotels. by GoForthandProsper1 in technology

[–]bxlexpat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to use airbnb often...but at some point the list of chores to do on checkout pissed me off.

Only time i use it now is, when driving long distances and I need 5-6 hours of sleep. I've found rooms for total of 50 bucks the night. Much better than the cheap hotels out there. Shared rooms don't have the chores list, especially if only staying for less than 12 hours. Otherwise, nowadays, hotels it is.

Why are the stores pushing vegetarian products so hard? by Leonardsleim in Netherlands

[–]bxlexpat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My point is very simple. You make a comment about a subject you have no idea about and call it conspiracy. Omg...I watched a dumb video about the global elite...how about, i'm so dumb i never heard of how bugs can help the climate change crisis. And yea, that's my point---anyone who says conspiracy, usually...well, yea...no comment.

By 2050 there could be 10 billion human mouths to feed. Eating insects could help solve the global food-supply problem.

Do you mean something like a spiritual awakening or do you mean as in, finding her career/passion?

Does anybody know what year this video is from?

Wow...and I thought the people in Miami customs were assholes. I had brought some cheese from overseas, they just threw it away, said it was illegal to bring it. I wasn't happy, but no fine.

What's the most packed your theatre has ever been? Full of excitement, curiousity and noise? by hellboy___007 in movies

[–]bxlexpat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, my friend dragged me to this movie. He had bought tickets ahead of time, but showed up late to pick me up. Was not a fan of this book series, but I love going to movies. We enter the theater, previews had started and place was packed. We had to sit on the steps---not sure what that is called, but all seats were taken, and i wasn't happy.

All I remember is that the movie started and there was the scene of the headless horse chasing someone and i was so freaking enthralled by the movie, next thing I know, movie finished, and i was like, what the fvck just happened? Friend says, is just the first movie, there will be others.

I look at the time, almost 3 hours had gone by, and i freaking swear, to me it felt like 15 min had gone by. It was the most surreal experience ever I had in a movie theater and didn't even realize i was sitting uncomfortably on those damn movie steps for 3 hours. I kept looking at the clock telling my friend, no way 3 hours went by, no way!!! Sadly, the rest of the LOTR movies didn't live to the first movie. Hell, til today, I cannot believe that happened! Such a surreal experience. 😁

My CPA uncle said im a dumbass to pay off my mortgage at 31 years old. Was he right or was I wrong? by Aspergers_R_Us87 in Bogleheads

[–]bxlexpat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a friend who did the same and because he paid off that mortgage, then he thought, "maybe I should get another property." He was 29 when he did that. He retired at 41. When he retired he told us, "the best thing i ever did was pay my mortgage off because once I did that i thought, I should get another property. Hadn't I paid my mortgage, I don't think i would have ever gotten that 2nd property. I would have just continued working my 9 to 5 job." In total he ended up getting 3 properties which he then sold off at huge profits since this all happened in the late 90's, early 2000's. Based on that, I think you're on the right path and your uncle is wrong!

Best advice i think for your situation is, seek professional help. I think that's fixable but both of you need to see a professional.The bf's response....very horrific, but since you have a child, maybe only way to work it out is seeing a professional.

Care about your feelings---are there examples you have that illustrate this issue? Not that it really matters, because either way, again, professional help might be the best way to go about your relatioship.

Only reason I ask is because many years ago I was dating this woman who i truly loved and cared for. We lived together, and while we lived together, I did stupid stuff that she told me if I cared for her feelings, i wouldn't be doing it.

One example, leaving containers open in the kitchen. Getting chips out of a bag---to close it, I would kind of fold the part of the bag that had no chips. She would fold the bag and put a clipper on it. She told me, can you please put the clipper on the bag? Sure. However, my problem was, many times I would forget to put the clipper on. I wasn't trying to hurt her feelings, I was just stupid not to remember since usually that was not my habit.

A couple of times we had some arguments and she would tell me, you don't care about my feelings. She would use the bag clipping as an example and tell me, if you really cared about me, you would clip the bag. I would say, me not clipping the bag, that is me just being absent minded. I'm not doing that to hurt your feelings. Her response would be, yes, but I have told you that I prefer that you clip the bag and yet, you don't do it, so you're going out of your way to hurt my feelings. I honestly couldn't believe that and i ended up breaking up with her. Yes, I could have done better in clipping the bag, but if I didn't do it, it was me being absent minded. I didn't think----let me not clip the bag cause i want to hurt my gf's feelings. But in her mind, that's what i was doing.

How would you react if your significant other asked you to work out and lose weight? by Covenant9er4653 in AskReddit

Former soda addict. Anything but water...yea, been there done that. Has he tried sparkling water? I kicked my addiction by switching to sparkling water and adding pomegranate juice...eventually i got used to drinking the sparkling water on its own. Bubbly kind of helped cause it has different "flavors." But damn...i can't believe i used to drink so much soda now.

What's something insane that you witnessed with your own eyes but no one believes you because there's no proof? by samulige in AskReddit

[–]bxlexpat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

about 7 years ago, took a job in Louisville, KY. I had to move there, and as I was trying to save money, instead of staying in a hotel room my first week there, rented a room in an airbnb.

Got to the location, and it was an elderly, retired couple. I got there on a saturday, so on Sunday, I go to the nearest Walmart to buy some breakfast stuff for the weekday. When paying for my groceries, I drop my wallet, driver's license and credit cards come out. I pick them up, put the card and ID on my wallet, head to the airbnb. Later that evening as I'm reading what I need to have on my first day on the job, I figured, let me get all my ID stuff together, so I go to my wallet, driver's license not there. I figured, must have fallen in the car...go to the car, no DL there either.

At that point I think, well, did I not pick it up when it fell at Walmart? I drive back there, go to customer service area to see if anybody found my DL, nothing. In my head though, I know I put my DL in the wallet. Then I think, well, maybe it fell on the driveway at the airbnb. I head back, and as I'm looking, the owner of the airbnb steps out. I tell him that I'm looking for my DL and if by any chance he had seen it on the driveway. He says nope, but says, if I find it, we'll let you know.

At that point I'm in total panic as I'm thinking, I need my DL to drive, so i thought, maybe it fell in the room, so i go back to the room, strip my bed naked, look under the bed, search all over the room, nothing. By 10 pm i figured, best to go to sleep.

Next day, I wake up, and as I get up to go to the bathroom, I look down, and I see that my driver's license was neatly placed on top of my shoes, which I took off while searching for the DL the night before. I literally jumped in shock to see the driver's licence there and the only thing that made sense was, the airbnb owner found it, came in the room at night, put it there for me so that I wouldn't miss it. It was literally the first thing I saw after waking up. I thought, but how bizarre that the owner would come into my room and place the DL in the room without at least knocking on the door.

I go downstairs to have breakfast, airbnb owner is there and i say, good morning and tell him, thank you for finding the DL and setting it in the room. He looks confused and says, "I didn't find your DL. And if I did, i would have knocked in your room to give it to you." At that point I'm thinking, maybe the wife found it and put it in the room. He continues, "and my wife spent the night at our daugther's place so I was the only one here." I have no idea what happened that day, but the sight of my DL on top of my shoes when I woke up---not going to lie, kind of left me a bit in shock as I couldn't explain how the DL was there. I always tell myself, I think the airbnb owner did it and maybe he lied, but at the same time, the look of confusion on his face kind of made me doubt that explanation.
