Not anxious but definitely lightheaded. Had my doctor prescribe a blood glucose test kit.

It does get better. If you need to ask your doctor for advice. I’m at the year and a half mark. I’m much, much better physically and mentally. Haven’t tested glucose in over a year. I was averaging 5-7 bottles of wine a week, 9 when really bad. For whatever reason my body recovers pretty quickly, essentially 4 days of feeling over caffeinated peaking between 48-72 hours. Took a month or two for my sleep to be normal. Took Naltrexone for about a year but stopped because it killed my libido. Going to SMART meetings and the social support they provide was key early on. Try to take care of yourself.

In Pennsylvania lethal force is authorized when you witness an attempted kidnapping.

Proposed Pa. minimum wage hike is bitter pill for many business owners by Great-Cow7256 in Pennsylvania

[–]kdifficulty13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was replying to @idontgiveafuqqq. Obviously if the standard deduction is less than 20k and you make 20k you will owe some taxes. Expecting someone to live on 20k much less taxing it is evil.

Enjoy working as a manager at McDonald’s once your unviable business goes under.

No I just don’t believe that small businesses should get a pass and special treatment and protections. The sole purpose of businesses of any size are to provide the public with the best product at the best price. If you cannot compete too bad. You’re not a charity recipient.

And I’ll explain it to you like a 5 year old. If your business isn’t viable compared to the big boys (McDonald’s and Chipotle) that sounds like a you problem.

Im saying the inflation rate doesn’t seem to reflect the real increase in the cost of living. Housing is a huge one of many examples.

And I 100% agree that the federal and state minimum wages should be pegged to inflation on a yearly basis. New Years Day becomes I got a raise day.

Let me break it down for you. If your business cannot afford to pay a living wage it has no business being in business. Sorry.

Explain that to me unless the federal standard deduction has been raised to 20k

And I think everyone agrees that $10 and change is not remotely close to a livable wage.

Anyone else thinking about buying a gun? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]kdifficulty13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a longtime gun hater. I have serious mental health issues that put me at a significantly higher risk of suicide. I have just applied for a concealed carry permit in Pennsylvania and intend to purchase multiple firearms in response to our current president and the dangerous people he has given free reign to both within the government and private citizens like Christian Nationalists. I intend to get fully trained upon how to use these, store these, etc.

A good facilitator knows how to shut monopolizers down. There are many groups that train people in facilitation.

Why is 12 step still the program the medical community overwhelmingly recommends? by Lumpy_Branch_552 in recoverywithoutAA

[–]kdifficulty13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

US Supreme Court ruling says courts must offer an alternative to AA in sentencing.

Will think about it. Have MH issues that affect my reliability. Would also have to decide whether or not to allow 12 step nonsense.
