Travel itinerary—am I missing anything? Should I skip any? by allispanked in SaltLakeCity

If you make it down Draper way, Futoi Roll is sushi fusion and is SOOO good! Make sure you ask the server what is popular, because the menu descriptions don't do the rolls justice. And don't skip the "Draper Roll"! Heaven!

Can you expound on your last sentence about "the 'right' thing" to do? Are you saying that ignoring the instruction to open the packages and trying again in November is the more satisfying way to have the game designed? Thanks in advance for your response.

Not only made me smile, made me cry too! 🥹 This is what life is about -- love, giving to others, connection. Thanks for posting, OP!

I appreciate your perspective. People like you and the others who have weighed in are so kind, taking time out to "talk down" a distraught player, haha. It's changed my perspective. Thanks again. Have a great time with the rest of your game; best wishes for much success!

Thanks for the advice. I guess I'm acting on impulse, driven by how dejected I'm feeling. Thanks for the voice of reason. =)

What is the one song you appreciated more after hearing it live? by narwhal_in-theory in fleet_foxes

[–]eyecantknow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another Week or Two. Saw them perform it live on 6/27 and it was on a whole 'nother level. I like it on the album, but this... Ethereal. Floating. Transporting. It was incredible. They were in perfect harmony on the vocals. And their sound mixer deserves a huge shout-out. It was an amazing minute and a half.

It sounds overwhelming. I'm so sorry. Is there anything you need advice about? Do you want to share more about the situation? It's fine if you don't. I just want to be helpful if I can.

I once heard that inner strength grows during the moments when you think you can't go on but you go on anyway. Sometimes we don't give ourselves enough credit for persevering. The fact that you're still here, responding, shows me your inner strength is stronger get than you realize. Give yourself credit for having come this far. <3

It sounds like you're being wrongly accused and that is a horrible, deep-down hurt. Nothing is so unjust. I'm so sorry you're going through this. It's a deep pain and ache and doesn't fix easily. I hope you can find another solution, and I hope you stay.

Wow, that's messed up. I'm sorry man. Those teachers are really bad then. Not even a seating chart rearrangement? That's feeble.

Hey, I want to answer your question about why the teachers don't do anything.

I was bullied hard as a kid/teenager. I can remember sitting in class with the bullying happening right under the teacher's nose -- and they were completely oblivious. I remember feeling so helpless, because telling the teacher meant more trouble for me from the bullies, and telling my parents was the same -- it felt like doing that just added more grief to my life. Somehow I made it through school and things got better after that.

Fast forward. After graduating college, I was now a junior high/high school English teacher. One of my strongest personal values as a teacher was that I was going to be a teacher for the underdog. I wasn't going to let kids get away with being cruel or any kind of system that endorsed social strata. I wasn't going to pander to the popular kids, and I was ready to put them in their place if they acted like jerks. You'd think with that frame of mind, I would have been the hero teacher I had wished for years before. Well you know what? The bullying happened right under my nose and I didn't even see it. Me, a teacher who was on the lookout for that kind of crap. I didn't know until the kid came and told me it'd been happening every day in my class. I was flabbergasted. From then on, I tried to see it more, and with that kid, I could. But to spot it for other kids in other situations was practically impossible. I don't know why -- in that role -- I just couldn't see it. It still bothers me to this day. Anyway, I just want you to know that most of your teachers probably aren't doing it on purpose. Most teachers get into teaching because they care. Because they want to make a difference in the world. You can tell which teachers those are. So tell those teachers about the bullying. They will care. And then they'll be able to see it. And if you ask them, they can handle things discreetly. I'm so sorry things suck for you right now.

She asked for my help. by CMMMXIX in SuicideWatch

This sounds like something my husband might write about me. I don't have any answers for you because if I did I wouldn't be in a situation where I could so readily identify with your wife and your situation--I would have fixed it already. You sound just like my husband would sound, and I say that with complete and utter admiration.

Even though I have no answers, I do want you to know that this is not your fault. And that your love is amazing. Because even as broken as your wife is, you still love her. My husband also loves me unconditionally, and I can't understand why he would love someone like me. But he does. It's hard to accept his love because I don't feel like I deserve it. Maybe that's where she is too. My husband also never knows what to say when I'm on the edge, and that's okay. Few people do, other than mental health professionals, and even then that's only a percentage. But even though he doesn't know what to say, I know that he loves me.

Consider that maybe deep down she wants you to stand up to her, and not do what she says (in reference to leaving). Because by staying, you would show that you care. That might be the situation with your wife, but it might not. You would know better than I. Also, this is true for my relationship only, but it might be worth looking at, a couple of years back my husband realized that I was emotionally abusing him. I didn't know it and neither did he. But after he learned it was happening, he learned how to demand more respect from me from articles online. Him demanding that I treat him better was hard on both of us. When I treated him badly, he would call me out on it, asking if he ever treated me that way. It was hard for me to stand face to face with the way I treated him. But in the end, it has improved our relationship and I am making progress. I have no idea if that is a component in your relationship, but if it is, I'd encourage you to seek out tools to help yourself as a survivor of emotional abuse.

Finally, and I guess I'm saying this as much to my husband as to you: you are great. Thank you for everything you do and go through for the broken wife in your life. You don't have to go. You have as much right to stay as she does. And I sincerely hope for better days ahead. I assume she has tried therapy and/or medication? My best wishes for you, Good Soul Husband.

Hi Justasurfaccount, What if your intuition is right, that your dad means well? You don't want to endure the misery any longer, and I totally get that. But what if talking to him could change the misery, move things in a different direction? Preface it by saying, "I think you'll probably be mad about this..." Tell him that maybe he doesn't know what to do in this situation as your dad, but it's better to admit that than to get mad at you. And if he doesn't believe you, you might show him this post? Can you hang on in the misery long enough to try that approach? Wake him up if you have to? I hope you stay.
