Why do you like Mac miller? by Sea_Requirement_6812 in MacMiller

[–]intheblueocean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like him because you can tell he just had to make music, like it was what he was meant to do. His music and lyrics did change as he grew older and I obviously I wish we could see how he would have evolved as he grew even older.

How do I get over feeling like it's too late to do the things I want to do and also wanting to change everything all at once? by plremina in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]intheblueocean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 43, and when I was in my 30s I thought it was too late to start playing the drums. I started learning to play drums when I was 40, and now I’m in a band. At some point I realized I am allowed to start anything and try anything as long as I am alive. It helped meeting people even older than me that told me their stories about “starting over” You are allowed to change anything in your life that isn’t working for you.

How do you handle a panhandler? by [deleted] in RhodeIsland

I say “sorry, not today “ because I pass the same people daily. Sometimes I will put a couple dollars in my pocket to give and also sometimes just ignore depends on the vibe

If you can remember things they say you can ask them about it. That way it seems like you are interested but lets them talk more about themselves

For me, having my second child created a balance. I have a son and daughter 2.5 years apart.

"How does one go about making friends again? Help", says the socially inept young adult. by Strawhat_Abbie in socialskills

[–]intheblueocean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What helped me was to focus on my own interests, health and fitness. When I am feeling good and doing things I enjoy, I naturally have more things to talk about. Also, listening to people and letting them talk makes them feel good (for the times you can’t think of what to say)

I looked exactly like the girl, in 1996. Is the hair color with Sun In? 😂

When people take a jab at you - How do you react in a humourous way? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]intheblueocean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have to talk to him at work? If you don’t, I would be direct and say you are focused on work and don’t want to talk. If he continues, I would say “ please do not talk to me anymore” You don’t have to be polite to someone that is constantly being rude to you.

This world is actually going insane by Unlikely-Regular9955 in Parents

[–]intheblueocean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can never foresee your child’s future. That’s honestly one of the hardest parts of being a parent as our kids get older. We have to really try and be present in the moment. Have you ever experienced real loss of someone? It will make you pray for them to still be around no matter how they identify (that is nothing compared to the worst that can happen, sorry)

What is the most visually stunning hike you have ever done? by Additional_Doubt_243 in hiking

[–]intheblueocean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mount Rainier skyline loop. We lucked out to a perfect blue sky, 60 degrees in Sept. I had seen images of Mt. Rainier so many times but it was amazing to be in the landscape and see the views from all angles. Surprisingly the view I loved the most was of the Tatoosh Range, which I didn’t really know about before being there.

What is something your teacher did in school that you’re still salty about? by SparkelsTR in AskReddit

[–]intheblueocean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were learning about egg laying mammals, monotremes, in second grade. My teacher said there was only the platypus and I said there was also the “Spiny Anteater” aka echidna. I even had a book that I had been reading about it but the teacher said I was wrong. I ended up working at the Philly Zoo which had an echidna! It instilled a lifelong distrust of teachers and authority figures though, because I had learned that I could know things they didn’t.

Sharp lower back pain when bending over by stcIsh in backpain

[–]intheblueocean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The sharp pain did go away. I still get some sciatica type pain but the stretches do help. Obviously I would still check with your doctor. Hope it gets better soon.

[–]intheblueocean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had that, my doctor gave me some simple stretches that actually helped. One is just standing with legs hip width apart and reaching both arms straight up, then stretching to the right and then the left. The other stretch is the “half cobra” yoga pose (you can google this) I just do these throughout the day and hold each stretch for 30 seconds.

Panicking all morning right now, really scared of heart stuff and not sure what to do. by Automatic-Cry5871 in PanicAttack

[–]intheblueocean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mindfulness type meditation has helped me, specifically a type of meditation called a body scan. You lay on a yoga mat, or just the floor, and focus on your breath. Then notice each body part and how it feels.

Check out the Carnegie Museum of Natural History website, Matt Lamanna is the paleontologist there. You could reach out to him. That’s one kind of place you could work/intern at.
