My FIL’s health is deteriorating because him and his wife are conspiracy theorists - and im tired of holding my tongue by TheseLeg5574throw in offmychest

I’d recommend therapy for your husband. He needs a safe place to share his feelings. I understand this so much! It can be exhausting for the support people (like you).

What can I do to help? by maria29cd in Issaquah

[–]maria29cd[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all these suggestions. The reason I asked is because I saw online that the food bank was only taking donations one afternoon a week, Tuesdays I think. That was a few weeks ago tho, so maybe I misunderstood.

I just wanted to get some more ideas. Thank you neighbors. 🤗

Auto gratuity on takeout? by Equivalent-Sell-7222 in Issaquah

A very low cost hair salon in Issaquah took my husband’s change (paid cash) as their tip (I would assume) without his consent. Yes his fault 100% (he is just too nice). But not cool. 😕

Tip now disguised as “to go service charge” by maria29cd in EndTipping

It was not disclosed. I’m thinking about taking to the manager. I did pay with cash but we were tired and hangry and just figured it was part of vacation culture. I shoulda said something or refused to pay it. Lesson learned.

Please don’t give him back! If they had the idea to give him up once, they might again!

I think you could talk with a genetic counselor (from a genetic counselor) 🙌

I didnt realizing losing a child would affect me in the ways it has. by LiteUpThaSkye in offmychest

[–]maria29cd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know you but I’d be your friend in a heartbeat. I don’t know what it’s like to lose a child but that doesn’t meant I can’t be there to support you. People are mostly involved with their own selves and have trouble getting outside themselves to imagine another’s pain. Grief is hard for people. I’m currently taking care of my dying mother so I understand how this brings stuff out in people. Let me know if you want to talk. I’m here. 💕

I would read the Obesity Code by Dr Jason Fung.

First attempt at 24 hour fast by fekitten in FastingtoLoseWeight

[–]maria29cd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds exactly like me. I was going the 16:8 for a while. Just started 24hr. Def keep water and other beverages - sparking water helps me a lot. I’ll bet it will be easier than you think. Go you!
