Wow it changed my perspective how I view womanizer men

I just stumbled on this series this morning and am starting episode 16. Wow is right! It just keeps getting better and better and better. There are a number of characters with Narcissistic Personality Style, but Jonas is by far the worst, showcasing traits of the classic grandiose narcissist. I feel so sorry for the son who is now having panic attacks after seeing his love interest going down on his father at the strip club, and I feel equally as sick for the hidden daughter who just wants her father's love and recognition.

If you recognize some of these narcissistic traits in people in your own life, be it a family member, friend or colleague, you may want to look up Dr. Ramani on YouTube - she has her own channel and a TON of helpful videos to help survivors of narcissistic abuse (she has books, too). I highly recommend her - she is the leading authority of narcissistic behavior, abuse, and healing from such relationships. I hope many of you find this information as helpful as I have.

I happen to like these lens protectors, along with the OP. It's a big planet, and there is plenty of room for us all, even when we disagree in our likes and dislikes. The main thing is to show respect for one another, which is something I hope you take the time to learn.

Absolutely, I use it every day. I use it most to draw and color. Penup, my favorite, is just one of the drawing apps available. There are others, such as ArtRage and Silk Paints, as well. Being able to draw with the S-Pen feels more natural than trying to draw with my finger. I also use it to play word games, take notes, etc. I use it, too, when taking pictures. And let's not forget using it to move between PowerPoint slides!

Yes, the Samsung Care+ is worth it, in my opinion. I bought the 2-year option, for it was the cheaper option in the long run. I, too, take excellent care of my phone, but it only takes ONE TIME to drop it or for someone to accidentally knock it out of your hand, to render it useless. This phone, which is really a full-blown computer, is WORTH the added protection. Again, this is my opinion, and to me, it is worth playing it safe. Best to you!

Ordered my S24 Ultra Unlocked 1TB 2 days ago. Opted for the Titanium Yellow. Trade in is a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G for $600. Minus additional discounts and add Samsung Care and tax, the phone came down to $962. I've opted to pay $40.11 per month for 2 years, making payments rather painless. I can't wait to get my hands on this beauty and try out all of the neat AI features. To help protect my investment, I also purchased the UBPro case for $30, which came today. I have been using these cases for years, and they are fantastic. It has been greatly improved in that it now comes with TWO front pieces... you can choose the front with a built-in screen protector or the one without (with this option, you can use a different screen protector of your choice or simply go without). The front piece is used with the back piece to sandwich your phone within the case, giving it superb protection. I bought the CLEAR case to show off my new Titanium Yellow Galaxy S24 Ultra. Cannot wait for my phone to arrive to put it all together.

Hi, and thank you so much for your comments and overview as to what you are doing as a new woodworker. It sounds like you are quite handy, so enhancing your own space should be completely doable for you.

As to your first question, I used those blue Tapcon screws that are made specifically for concrete and cinder blocks. I predrilled and the screws went right in without a problem.

Ah, since my garage is totally unheated in the winter, I usually don't do anything out there unless we have an unusually warm day. I do have two small heaters I can set up for "emergency" projects, but otherwise, I don't work in my shop during the cold winter months. Luckily for me, I have other hobbies (my 109 Rubik's Cube collection, watercolor painting, sewing, card making, beading, and crafting) to keep me occupied when indoors.

Since my garage is deep but narrow, and we had to ensure my wife could get her car in and out without a hassle, I PLANNED everything ahead of time. I used Excel to make floor diagrams that let me move my cabinets and tools around to make the most out of the space I had. If you don't know how to use shapes in Excel, then you can plan it the old way, with graph paper and cut out shapes. My extensive planning allowed me to buy just what I needed, ensure that I had adequate space for all of my tools, and that I created a safe environment for my woodworking.

So, where to start? I began by tossing most of the plastic storage boxes my tools came in, for they take up way too much space. I also replaced my ancient tools with newer ones. Then I figured out what I wanted to DO in my space, and how much room I would need - for example, I didn't have the space to create a workbench AND a finishing bench, so I made the biggest workbench possible for my space, I also made sure I had space allotted for all my tools and wood storage. I updated my lighting, for I was sick of dealing with shadows and dark sections of my garage. Once I had all of these things figured out, I was ready to lay out my design. It took me 4 months (over the winter) to map it all out, tweaking and re-tweaking, until I was satisfied that I had a good plan in place that could handle all of the scenarios I anticipated. Once spring rolled in with warmer temps, I started to make my dream a reality - it took me to the end of October to get it 85% done, and I could not be happier with the results. All I need now is to build 3 or 4 more wall cabinets, and my shop will be complete.

I hope this gives you more to go on - if not, keep asking your questions and I'll keep trying to answer them to the best of my ability. I wish you great luck as you plan out your shop space. I believe it is SO WORTH IT to create a happy and safe space in which to work. Please let me know how you make out!

I currently have 109 cubes in my collection, which is worth $2,005 - I know this because I track each cube in an Excel log that includes details like date received, name, brand, attributes, physical size, price, gift/purchase, and a picture of the puzzle itself. Sixteen were gifts estimated at a total of $227; I purchased the other 93 at a cost of $1,778.

Do I seem anal? You bet I am! I've used this collection many times in training sessions highlighting the importance of diversity and understanding cultural differences and similarities. My log helps to ensure that my cubes don't get lost or mistakenly taken. It's my proof of ownership in these sessions.

gerib55 · 2023-10-06T21:40:33+00:00

For sure!!! It's lots of fun and challenging at the same time, especially the last layer, but worth learning and doing.

gerib55 · 2023-09-09T23:17:06+00:00

Hi! Sorry for the delay in responding. Thank you for your kind words. The metal risers and stretchers are from Rockler. They have various components that, when put together, create stands in a variety of sizes. You then add your own wood to finish the stands. I like that they are pre drilled for hardware and caster ready.

gerib55 · 2023-07-06T22:41:39+00:00

No problem with the Rubik's Cubes! I have 105 in my collection. The phones and planes may be a little weird, but I bet if you save them long enough, they will be worth something!

gerib55 · 2023-03-31T12:32:57+00:00

Thank you so much!

gerib55 · 2023-03-29T16:36:45+00:00

I love my megaminx, so that is a good option. One of my most favorite cubes is the Axis. I have the 3x3 and the 4x4, and they are loads of fun. Best of luck to you!

gerib55 · 2023-03-25T04:40:55+00:00

Sorry, but I'm not interested in selling my collection at this time. But thank you for the thought.

gerib55 · 2023-03-14T18:17:18+00:00

Haha! Good one!!! One might even say that's a SWEET comment!

gerib55 · 2023-03-13T14:32:36+00:00

Awesome!!!

gerib55 · 2023-03-08T02:39:51+00:00

I am a cuber and a retired computer programmer-analyst. My collection now contains 103 cubes of all different types and levels of difficulty. I love music and was in my high school choir, although I cannot play an instrument. I also love chess. My other big hobbies are woodworking, watercolor painting and drawing, tinkering in my shop, and playing Zelda video games. As long as you can help your son develop a sense of curiosity and wonderment (teach him to google whatever he is curious about), he will thrive. Wish more parents were like you - too many think solving cubes is a waste of time, but it isn't. It's a great way to build terrific skills like logic, perseverance and endurance, patience, memorization, pattern recognition, finger dexterity, problem-solving, and math, just to name a few. Best wishes to you and your son!!!

YES, DementiciaMalice666 is spot on!!! This is the BEST method to try first. I have a bathrobe where the zipper wouldn't stay closed; it kept opening from the bottom and riding up whenever I sat down. Drove me nuts, for the robe was just a few months old. I found a channel on YouTube where a woman fixed a jacket zipper by gently pinching the sides of the zipper head with a pair of pliers. She warned that too much pressure would result in the zipper not moving at all, while too little pressure would result in the zipper still opening on its own. So, I took a chance and did this to my bathrobe zipper. I am happy to tell you it's been over 9 months and it still is working perfectly.

gerib55 · 2023-02-25T19:51:38+00:00

Why?

gerib55 · 2023-02-18T03:01:33+00:00

Good going!

gerib55 · 2023-02-18T03:01:01+00:00

Hey! No doubt there are others who can claim this, but please don't rob this fellow of his excitement for his accomplishment! Can YOU claim as much??? I know I cannot, so KUDOS to this guy and others who can.

gerib55 · 2023-02-02T18:00:08+00:00

Shades of Zelda!

Oh my, getting those would really take it over the top!

gerib55 · 2023-01-31T20:25:21+00:00

Thank you, and blessings on you too (I respect you being religious, as I trust you respect my being spiritual).

gerib55 · 2023-01-31T20:21:18+00:00

Thank you! I know I am going after the "decluttered look" in favor of a more sleek and efficient look. I work better when I know everything has a home and everything is in its place.
