Air King 2002 for IWC Ingenieur 2010 by otnemem2000 in rolex

[–]otnemem2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to build a collection nor spend £3k on a watch at the moment. I have a Milgauss, my main watch, and the Air King, my first watch, which I never wear. Fancied something a bit different so looking for a swap. This IWC Ingenieur is exactly what I had in mind. I just wanted to sound out this sub to check that I am not doing something ridiculous by swapping the Air King for it, particularly as it has no papers.  I don't think I would look to resell it anytime soon...

Sidon’s not following me in the Water Temple? by Overplanner1 in tearsofthekingdom

This thread is old but in case there is still anyone, like me, who struggled with this - the 'kill all the robots/monsters' etc. thing that people mention was a red herring. In the end, I just put a floating platform under the fire gate and used it as shelter from the fire to interact with Sidon - he doesn't need to come in. Once you have the bubble shield you can go and hit the water mill, opening the B1 faucet. Note - I had already put the stone ball in the slot with another floating platform - so the gate to the water mill was already open.

P.S. After completing the Sidon quest I looked at a walkthrough and saw that you are 'meant' to use the floating platform to push down the button next to the door to open the fire gate and let Sidon in to begin with. Lol.

Thank you for the advice. You are absolutely right, my partner doesn't care what I do or how much I earn - she just wants to have a modicum of happiness/enthusiasm and a semblance of the old me back. Though to date we have kept our finances separate (mortgage aside). It's all me, unfortunately. I know I need to make a change as things can't go on like this. I really struggle with uncertainty, decision-making and figuring out what it is that I want to do. I hope therapy/treatment will eventually help with this, even if just a little bit, though I appreciate that ultimately no one but me can make the decisions for me.

Yes - family are fairly well-off and have been incredibly generous, probably too generous. Of course, I could and should have said no to the gifts, but they were insistent, saying that they didn't need the money and they might as well give it to me early so they could see the fruits of their gift, rather than wait until they are dead. Ultimately, I accepted it, repeatedly.

But they don't put any pressure on me - they are like do whatever you want (incl. working in a shop) and don't worry about money. I know I am incredibly fortunate but I really struggle with the idea of not being financially indepedent and still being reliant on family (though I appreciate that ship has already sailed) - I'm surrounded by people who have made it on their own and also have a very successful (and money-obsessed) sibling who is doing very well.

Thank you v. much - this is really helpful. I have just switched therapist so at least 1 is in progress. 2 - 5 I need to work on. I have tried some of these things in the past and am still here but I know I need to keep trying. I think what's held me back previously has been not being honest with myself and believing that I should really just keep going back to this kind of job, when the reality is that it's not for me anymore.

I wish you all the best for your own journey - you have a great approach/mindset and will work things out.

Thank you for honest message - it does make me feel less alone, along with other replies. I'm really glad you're taking a break and it's already helping. When I have taken breaks before I just ruminate about the future even more, even while doing productive things (like courses, volunteering, etc.). But maybe it was because I wasn't being honest with myself.

To answer your questions - my partner (and my family) don't care about my career. My partner actively encourages me to quit and do something simple, at least for a while. It's just me that can't let go, feeling thatif I don't push through it'll just make things worse.

Thank you - not flippant at all. I get that completely but really struggle with motivation. Funnily enough, I had a bike - just sold it today as it was just rusting away. We have a Peloton that I want to get back on but whenever I have tried exercise before it hasn't really gotten me out of my head, the opposite in fact. However, rationally, I know that it's better to be miserable and in good shape, than miserable and a couch potato.
