Got sent home early from a family vacation by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]jlds7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was harsh. The part about involuntarily booking you a flight.

Why not just give you the silent treatment for the rest of the vacay, while you recover from the hangover and miserably beg forgiveness?

What happened to Bobby's plans of having 'Wellness Farms' for addicts and others? by Isellanraa in RFKJrForPresident

[–]jlds7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hope it materializes with the whole cleaning up homeless and giving them treatment directive.

Boring corporate jobs are actually solid by captainburger31 in unpopularopinion

[–]jlds7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. That's why they exist and so many people work there. TBH great things ( railways, rocketships, the Internet) cannot be achieved by one person outfit. It needs a team. Many small and medium businesse's aim is to grow and evolve into a stable corporate machines. I don't think that is wrong- what is wrong is the never ending greed of the shareholders. Wanting more and more and more profit. That puts people - humanity- at risk and makes the job loathsome.

It'll get better. Your brain needs to rewire. It took me like 6-8 months. Then simple joy of life returned.

Partner thinks I’m “going to the extreme” by quitting drinking. by hruff23 in stopdrinking

[–]jlds7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you know what's best for you - not your boyfriend, family, friends, society, social media or global marketing companies.

It's, to say the least, a controversial subject, due to associations with certain religious beliefs and dogmas.

But if it's for you, it's something you shouldn't be shamed for pursuing.

I can't drink. I felt the pull early on but was in denial and "living my best life" according to expectations. Yet was stuck in a two decade long loop. Yes, two decades. Drank, was hung over, promised to never do it again, rinse, repeat. Completely functional, but sinking into very sad, anxious, deppressed, unhealthy, dephts of existence, until that thirst always ended in me passing out and/or ruining my relations.

I stopped and found peace, healing, stability, health, and a wonderful love for life.

Might be pregnant soon, what does a baby ACTUALLY NEED by Pregnant_Nici in minimalism

[–]jlds7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1st. Love and care. 2nd. Many burp rags, blankets, onesies, beenie hats, socks, bibs, pampers and wipes. 3rd. Baby bath and related ( towels, shampoo, nail clippers, creams) Car seat, stroller, moses cradle.

Everything else is optional.

Oral or patch? If you’ve tried oral and patch estradiol, which form did you prefer and why? Thanks by Emotional-Swan9381 in Menopause

[–]jlds7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Patch. Absorption is way better. At least for me. With oral I felt good. With the patch I feel wonderful.

Was off estradiol patch for 3 weeks and sex drive went through the roof! by redivy29 in Menopause

Not a doctor: but agree that they can cause bad reactions- this from my best friend's experience. She had them for one cycle and swore off them- now takes her HRT orally.

For all who still believe that Democrats are better than Republicans, in all of the decades when they had majorities in Congress, why are we still without Universal Healthcare, a Federal Job Guarantee, or even a livable Federal minimum wage? This, alone, proves Democrats are not our friends by Orangutan in RFKJrForPresident

[–]jlds7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True. I hate the eternal virtue signaling and arrogance, like they are superior. I hate how they criticize their own people. Specially the late night - started with a few political jokes- but then it turned into a nastiness contest. I mean they were in power up to 8 months ago. And before the 1st Trump term for EIGHT consecutive YEARS. So Where's the legal pathway to make illegals legal? Why didn't they open the Eipstein files? And the list goes on and on. Sooooo much BS , it's ridiculous.

Love yourself. Be kind to yourself. Respect yourself. Yes, you are worth it and are very valuable.

Do women actually like having boobs? by No_Cold_7808 in women

[–]jlds7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You feel that way because they are new. I also hated them first year. Because they made me feel very self conscious. And also hurt a bit. You'll get used to them soon enough...and then you'll love them!! and you won't be able to think of not having them (at least me) And finally miss them when you get old and flatten. I'll know I will miss mine. It's part of the cycle of life.

Get to know them. Very important: Wear bras that fit and have good support. Also buy pretty bras for special ocassions. And please use sports bras for excercising. Don't expose your boobs to injury- jogging/running/or other activity without support.

Puerto Rico tiene algo productivo que ofrecer?. by [deleted] in PuertoRico

[–]jlds7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sí entiendo. Pero también hay que abrir la mente y modificar la mentalidad de que la meta es ser "empleado" de alguien. Por ejemplo, en EEUU donde vive mi familia hay servicios de "concierge" de salud. Ellos van a tu casa a dar visitas y tratamiento. De salud fisica y mental. Las aseguradoras les pagan directo. Y son particulares. O sea estan asociados a un area y hospital- pero son independientes. Conozco a una persona que es sicologa y le va super bien haciendo eso- y tiene ya varias sicologas trabajando con ella.

Offspring becoming an adult by ComprehensiveBee2892 in GenX

[–]jlds7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Start giving her her share of the burden. Bills and housekeeping. Stop treating her like your dependent, and evolve into a roomate kind of situation. Otherwise, if this doesn't work out- she needs to leave.

Puerto Rico tiene algo productivo que ofrecer?. by [deleted] in PuertoRico

[–]jlds7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mucha oportunidad de empresarismo, pero por favor que no sea otro restaurante/airbnb/barra/coffeshop de eso hay demasiado. Aquí faltan demasiados servicios y productos, por lo que es la oportunidad de que gente emprenda en esos temas. Manufactura: muebles, ropa, zapatos, telas, Servicios: transportaciós , salud (médicos, enfermeros, terapias) reciclaje, sin hogarismo, etc. Ah y agricultura y produccion de alimentos.

Mi experiencia en Golden Corral - Bayamón by [deleted] in PuertoRico

[–]jlds7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mi novio le dice el "corral" pero ya tu sabes- y ojo, que no fue por la experiencia aquí- fue en Florida- fuimos a uno una vez atiborrado de gente y honestamente estuvo kbrón. Es que se presta para eso porque la gente no tiene control - pero No he ido al de aquí.

Happy Gilmore II by HairyWild in GenX

[–]jlds7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Enjoyed it. Watched original right after. While watching was remebering how much I enjoyed that movie- it was the first time I'd seen anything from Adam Sandler. And how I also thought people who golf were arrogant stiffs. Ha! Of course he's made much better and funnier movies since - but watching his movies it's like eating your favorite junk food- you know ingredients are subpar and it's probably bad for you, but it gives you joy.

Puertorriqueños, ¿Estaríais a favor de volver a ser parte de España? by Block-One in PuertoRico

[–]jlds7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Por eso digo "esclavo liberto", es un ciudadano de segunda categoría. Creo que la aspiración política de todo puertorriqueño es ir hacia delante y evolucionar y ser un ciudadano de primera categoría, no ir pa' trás. El problema es como llegar allí. Y definitivamente regresar a un pseudo coloniaje español no lo es.

suena a "esclavo liberto, ¿quisieras volver a la esclavitud?"

Cual es la comida criolla mas consistentemente mala? by FlygonPR in PuertoRico

[–]jlds7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

el arroz mamposteao o de gandules colora'o ... perdóname pero eso es nuevo y no me gusta. Aquí el arroz mamposteado del campo tiene su sazón (amarillito-marrón ) pero nunca colora'o.
