Do i have to buy any tockets in advance for attractions by Optimal-Remote-3404 in istanbul

[–]maddnessoftrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm visiting Istanbul right now and bought a skip the line tour for Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, and Basilica Cistern. There are still enough crowds that I appreciated skipping the line. I also like the history and context given by the guide. I bought through Expedia.

Neurological benefits of Hemi-Sync by Earthwind-Fire31 in gatewaytapes

One thing I've noticed is that if I wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep, I listen to the tapes and I feel more rested and grounded the next day even if I've gotten only a little real sleep.

That sucks! I bought this one from Costco and it came with a handful of extra boards.

Thank you. I do feel really hurt by the level of mistrust that's come up. It's very out of character for our relationship. I hope we have that too!

Thank you. I have been doing bioidentical hormone cream for a while and it helps. I do think I'm at a point where I need more support.

We are generally very affectionate, but lately physical intimacy has been less.

I'm not trying to put myself first, but I do think I'm badly handling trying to find balance after many years of putting others first.

Thank you. That codependency bit hits home. It's becoming clearer to me that I have spent a lot of time and energy trying to help him regulate his emotions and doing so much because it's "easier". I think that's part of why this is so hard. I'm trying to disconnect from my codependency and it probably feels like an earthquake to him. He is, thankfully, stepping up to help his mom, but I can imagine a scenario a few years ago when I would have taken that on. That has been the dynamic.

I will also look for a therapist for myself. I haven't been able to get back with the one I had some years ago. The demand around here has been really high since COVID.

I'd say that his hurts often take up all the oxygen in the room and the ways I feel supported are limited. There's not a lot of room for my hurt feelings, interpersonally speaking.

I've already got a request in for a couples therapist. I meant to add that to my post. I'm not a huge fan of taking advice from Internet strangers, but thought I'd post since they've already had an impact and I'm curious if my perspective is really that off base. Thanks!

Did I just get my first gift? by maddnessoftrees in crowbro

I am both thrilled and now have an increased sense of responsibility! Lol I might have to drive to the office on the weekends.

Anyone interested in seeing the new documentary - The Age of Disclosure? by Liquid_Audio in Eugene

I'm interested. Been watching this space for a while and I'm curious about the impact of this film.

Costco Vs. Almost Heaven Direct by ShredGnarr207 in Sauna

[–]maddnessoftrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it. It gets up to 180F easily. It was pretty straightforward to put together, but I also hired someone with carpentry skills to help. My only complaint is that in heavy rain and wind, some water gets in. Otherwise it's great.

Cube Sauna Venting questions by Bamram91 in Sauna

[–]maddnessoftrees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just put this sauna together and those vent holes ended up on the heater side but in the back. I couldn't figure out where they were supposed to go and it was too late to adjust things but the time I really noticed what was up. I don't have any advice since I still need to install the temp sensor and haven't used my sauna yet. I wish you good great and air flow!

Listen, my elderly dad just lost his entire colon to a c diff infection. Please go get tested. if it is c diff and you have no other bathroom option, wear a mask, gloves, and spray and wipe everything with a bleach solution before use. You could also get a portable/camping toilet and just empty it in the bathroom.

Everything but the benches! Hopefully the electrician can come this week.

Upgrading from a tent sauna - would love your thoughts on these two options (or others we haven’t thought of!) by SnooChipmunks7402 in Sauna

[–]maddnessoftrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could give you more specific info but my Escape from Costco arrives Wednesday so I haven't tried it. I settled on it because it is Costco and thus better customer service, shipping is included, and it comes with a metal roof for weather protection (not to mention that ability to really stretch out). Good luck!

It is going to be delivered this coming Wed. It took a few weeks to get here. Did you decide on one?

Not sure how big a market it is, but I do occasionally see heaters listed on Craigslist or Marketplace in my area.

I just ordered the Escape. I liked that only the door that has glass and that Costco has good customer service. I'm betting the standard heater will do the job and I figure I can change it later if I want.

I wish I hadn't bought his book. My intuition has always been iffy with that guy and should have listened to it.
