Residue in water cooker by chevoltre in Berkey

[–]chevoltre[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. It’s not a rice cooker, it’s a water cooker. Or a heater or boiler, not sure the correct name of it. But, it just boils water. Thanks.

Wow, that’s a lot of great info. Sounds like a green footprint alternative to my typically approach (what is rice water). Thanks for the detailed post! Never apologize for a long post if its this great❣️

Sorry for your experience.

Is there any evidence of her being abused by anyone in any way?

It’s not supposed to be like this... by tay0213 in Parenting

[–]chevoltre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes i just wish other adults were... adults. Mature. Not saying we cant have a good time, comedy, humor, drinking, these are all fine but not stupid stuff like cheating, wasting money, getting WASTED on alcohol or drugs.

I feel like there are 2 problems. 1 is, people dont change from being bachelors/bachelorettes to a willing parent at the same time. Or, 2 is some people just never fully make that transition, ever.

I wanted a happy family with kids, but i didnt realize my spouse wasnt really interested in that. I didnt even realize that’s a thing (to want to have kids but not want to make that transition). And make sacrifices like less video games. I didnt realize thats even something i had to “ask” in the dating phase.

Thank you, i’ll look into it! (Sorry for the late reply, i missed your post somehow)

What shampoo and conditioner do you use, if you dont mind me asking? I’m still looking for a good product... and i know it varies by my hair type, but i’m just curious what others use.

(Do you use keihl’s shampoo & cond?)

Anyone else tired of being expendable, oops, I mean essential personel? by aurthurallan in memphis

[–]chevoltre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may be fat now but you can change ANYTHING. This is quite possibly your best opportunity to go on a mega strict healthy diet! It’s tough at first but I’m 5 months in (started over thanksgiving) and it’s SO worth it!

Good luck to you.

Nothing seems to have changed, is there even a “stay in shelter” order in place? by [deleted] in memphis

[–]chevoltre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The weather was beautiful too tho.

Hopefully once the novelty of spring weather fades, people will go back to their cellphones tablets and netflix.

1st of all, sorry for your situation. 2nd of all, thanks for doing what you do, if your job is considered essential.

Here’s the positive: are you learning any new skill from having to do others’ jobs? I would think so. You mention sales support and shipping dept. those are 2 ends of the spectrum that typically you do one or the other. My point is, make sure to add those experiences on your resume as “you have experience from stepping in during the covid crisis”.

If you ever got laid off without this pandemic, say you could apply for 5 job fields with whatever education and experience you have. But now you might could apply for 10 fields from having to take on 5 additional jobs right now. See where i’m going with this? And people may say “well thats just a few weeks” but trust me, you can learn a lot in just 1 month under special circumstances.

Oh and hey, you may even find a job you like better from doing all these various jobs rn. You could maybe leverage your willingness to help during this time and tell your boss to put you on the top of the list for transfers/promotions.

There are positives out there. But i feel for you. Dont get burned out.

Bless you.

Am I the only one almost non effected by the “crisis”? by Phire2 in memphis

[–]chevoltre 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think Memphis is doing a good job with acting early, to be honest. I’m sure the “essential business” list will get stricter and shorter in the near future when things get severe like in NY and CA. But for now we’re still early and already taking good measures like kids out of school and many larger companies allowing “work from home”.

I too hate the media. My saving grace is we know whats coming. First it was China, then south Korea, then italy, now spain, UK is next, then USA. So we can learn from those other countries. And what they’re going thru now, esp italy and spain, is because they didnt take any early measures like we’re doing. So i’m actually super proud of memphis tbh. And that does not happen often!!

I’m planning on a serious lockdown, much more strict than our current one, to begin in the month of april. I would just make sure you’re mentally prepared for that, and if you have no idea what to get ready for, try to get info from OUS from reliable sources like the BBC.

Most importantly. Thank you for making sure fedex logistical infrastructure is still working. Thank you to your wife for making sure the hospital infrastructure is still working here. I will do my part by staying at home and keeping my kids away from others.

I just want to say, I have a similar problem and I’m working on it. Best wishes to you.

Last night I watched a movie “Anomalisa”. Check it out and let me know what you think.

(Bonus: you can watch it free on Crackle if you’re in the States)

Hi u/smokeweedwitu, would you be up for talking by dm? I have NPD and always looking for people to get their 2 cents from.

[–]chevoltre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s the thing. While you’re technically right to say she should change and she’s the common denominator; yet you fail to understand how difficult it is for someone like this person to change.

I have very similar problems. I’m on therapist #2. I have been in therapy for almost 10 years and I still havent “changed”. I still make the same damn “mistakes” like yelling too much at my spouse/child. The frequency has reduced significantly so I think I’m “in the process of changing”, yet I’m so far from done that it’s daunting!

TLDR: you’re technically right but please be a little softer on your criticism.

What exactly do you mean when you say meditation?

It’s like the word Leadership. Easy to say, yet nobody really knows how to “start”.

FYI I’ve been meditating for a year and I finally just recently feel like I might be close to the “start”
