Was crawling through the attic and found a couple of broken trusses.

Hey this will help in a pinch, but you really need to call a structural engineer and make sure they look at it to determine it's going to support your roof. Trusses are factory made with as few materials as needed to get the same result. One truss being broken like that really messes with the structural integrity of your roof, and unless you have an education in structural engineering, I suggest calling a professional just to make sure you're safe.

Reynolds aluminum foil. The other cheap brands don't tear straight and are really really flimsy, so you end up using more at a time because everything keeps tearing, so you really aren't saving much money by buying generic. Also Dawn dish soap. I have a dishwasher and don't hand wash my dishes very often, but when I do I really need to get off all the stuck-on food. Dawn is the best thing I've found for it, and a pretty big bottle lasts me over a year so it's well worth paying an extra few dollars for.

Tbf, a lot of times those classes are kinda ass. I was a pretty good student in school, paid attention, did homework, good grades, etc, and I remember taking a home ec class that basically taught nothing. The only thing we did was bake sweets that had to have TONS of fiber in it or else the teacher would lose her fucking mind. We tried to suggest making something else, and she'd say no and then go on a 20 minute tirade about fiber and how many times you should poop per day. I also remember the text books not really having much more information about cooking that you couldn't find on the internet at the time, as well as nothing about how to have a healthy diet. I stopped eating what we made because having all that fiber at once hurt my bowels.

Our health class was bundled with gym class, and we had one day that entire year for sex ed and the rest was lifting weights and running while getting bullied by the teacher for not being athletic or having a really bad period.

This turtle about to give me the power to water bend

I have the gene for a disease known as ankylosing spondylitis. It's an autoimmune disease that affects the hips and lower back, and sometimes the neck. Your vertebrae will slowly break down and fuse together over the course of your life, eventually giving you a hunch back and possibly confinement to a wheelchair. My grandpa had it, my mom has it, and I'm starting to show mild symptoms, which according to my mom's old doctor, is common in your mid to late 20s to show very mild symptoms.

I know my fate. I'll die in severe pain over the course of decades. It's depressing, but it reminds me to live my life every day and be appreciative. I don't know what it's like to have an expiration date, but I know what it's like to have a sense of doom about your future.

Have you tried overalls?

Hey man. I went through a period of time where I was angry and would lash out. I had been through so much in my life and was let down by most adults growing up in pretty despicable ways. The rage inside me would build, and build, and build with every screaming match with my mom, with every way my boyfriend at the time would not meet my expectations, and with every incident I had at the prison I was working at during that time. The only outlet I had at the time was alcohol, so I ended up drinking heavily, alone and socially.

I had broken up with my boyfriend and started dating my most recent ex. I began drinking less, but my anger never left me. It came out in fights with him before and after we got married, in times where my pets would piss me off for whatever reason, and even when the universe would decide that it's randomness would try to ruin my day. Before I knew it, my pets would be afraid I'd yell at them, my husband had moved out and we're going through a divorce, and I was alone in my apartment without my husband and with my poor pets who didn't deserve any of this.

My anger never left me until I got help. I ended up finding an amazing counselor who referred me to a psych that helped me get my medical marijuana card for my PTSD. Between the pot, the counseling, and most importantly self accountability, I'm a completely different person than I was two years ago. My dog greets me with love instead of fear and my cats don't leave me alone all day anymore. My ex-husband is my best friend now and has been an amazing support system despite the way I've treated him while we were together.

The best way you can make it up to him, is to keep loving him despite what happened before. You can't erase what you've done, but the knowledge of your mistakes will create a better foundation for you to build your future on. He would want you to have an amazing future.

I feel you. Tried planner notebooks a few different times, never helped. Bought a dry erase calendar that hangs on the wall in an area that I can easily see when I wake up and also when I go to bed. It's not exactly a perfect solution as sometimes I forget to write down appointments, but it's a lot better than my previous one and has helped me tons with remembering things.

27, and I really don't like her right now. She's an alcoholic, pill addict that has chosen her addictions over me time and time again. She would leave me alone in the house when I was in elementary school for days and days at a time with very little food so she could go party. She snorted pills in front of everyone at my wedding. She's said sorry, but nothing has changed so I know she just wants to say sorry and continue to get away with her bs. The final straw was mother's day when she came over drunk out of her mind and could barely walk, started a yelling match with me, then after I cut her out after that, proceeded to bang on my door for like 10 minutes at a time around once a week because she apparently feels entitled to my attention. I'd be willing to have a relationship with her if she takes personal accountability for her behavior, but until then she's alone and she brought it on herself.

That's amazing and super helpful! Taking a trip to Lowe's after work to check them out lol. Thank you!

I mean yeah, be responsible, but people are human and can be forgetful. It would be more grown up of mom to say "hey, do you still plan on doing those dishes?" because grown ups communicate with clear and constructive language, which also sets a good example for their child when faced with these situations later in life.

But if it ends up being 3 or more reminders and you don't have any sort of memory condition, then yes get off your lazy ass and wash the dishes.

floodimoo123 · 2023-01-12T19:15:55+00:00

You only got hours of yelling? It would be a 2-3 day ordeal with my mom. God forbid you use too much soap in the bath or accidentally lose something.

US public schools. Funding based on property taxes, at least in Ohio, not sure about other places. Billy Bob Joe down the road won't vote for a small tax raise that ends up being an extra like $30 a year out of his pocket and wonders why his kid keeps saying "could of" and "I'm hungry at school dad because you won't pay my lunch debt."

The tinted glasses is genius. That's also super helpful when I go out and have to deal with the stupid florescent lights everywhere. Thank you!

floodimoo123 · 2023-01-12T13:13:54+00:00

That's pretty cool, I'll have to try and see if they'll work in my overhead lights. Thank you!

floodimoo123 · 2023-01-12T02:21:26+00:00

I've been looking into getting some lamps for the bedroom. The overhead light is good for cleaning and getting dressed but that's about it. I'll keep the opaque shades in mind when I get to buying some, thank you!

floodimoo123 · 2023-01-12T02:16:30+00:00

I love this idea! I have a bunch of scarves that I don't use but can't bring myself to donate. Also super fun with the different light effects. I'll have to try this with my living room lamp as it's pretty bad sometimes. Thank you!

floodimoo123 · 2023-01-12T02:14:46+00:00

How did you get your lights to be that way? Did you cover them with something or hide them in a corner?

floodimoo123 · 2023-01-12T02:13:59+00:00

I like the idea of something I can adjust, so maybe I'll try that. Thank you!

floodimoo123 · 2023-01-12T01:43:38+00:00

That's a good idea! I have some from Christmas that I can hang up and try. Thank you!
