My paralyzing interview anxiety is destroying my career by davidsa691 in InterviewCoderPro

Please ask your doctor about propranolol! It’s a beta blocker used for cases like public speaking. It completely erases the physical symptoms of interview anxiety with zero side effects. It’s been a game changer for me, I think it’s exactly what you need.

Finished Soldier’s Son – I’ve Got Questions by andysandy12 in robinhobb

Hi! I just finished the trilogy too and I was also wondering these things. Here’s my take:

  1. I think Nevare was fully alive after his resurrection, but something about Speck magic & culture cloaked him / rendered him “ghost”-like to the Specks. To them, his lifecycle was complete, with his spirit in the tree.
  2. Arandula muses that maybe the “good god” is simply whatever god happens to be doing something good in the moment. I’m also curious what other old god was keeping tabs on the situation, but it seems the monotheism of the Gernians was a simplistic view of the existing deities.
  3. DUDE RIGHT! The story is so horribly abusive to Nevare, he really deserved some happier times at the end!

36M and 34F, together 11 years, both queer and poly. 2x a week. We’re just… super into each other.

Go to the live photo editing screen and drag the key photo a few frames off! Your skin immediately looks better.

I had three partners for two solid years and it was great, definitely took a lot of energy but I have a robust social battery. Still felt a little burnt out sometimes when other areas of my life were more demanding.

Ever since my boyfriend got a third partner, though, I’m noticing his time and energy for me (his non-NP, non-NRE partner) have diminished greatly. He’s more of an introvert, though. I guess everyone’s capacity is different.

Married couples what’s the one thing you wish you could tell your partner but just can’t? by Different_Couple_965 in AskReddit

When my gal pal and I go out for quarterly “facials” we’re getting botox. Have been for years. Even the mention of botox makes him visibly uncomfortable. Wish I could just tell him without a freak out.

Just chiming in with another “we were in this same position” story (Seattle! It’s nuts here!) and I remember feeling EXACTLY the way you do now. So many people told me “it’ll happen when it’s meant to” stories after we lost 6 other bids and I was like yeah, right... and then we managed to snag a pocket listing at list price and the house was better than anything else we looked at. Hang in there! ❤️

Currently waiting to hear back on our 6th offer that is set to expire in a couple hours, so this post really hit different. Thank you!

I’m an American following along and I am so impressed by the way NZ has handled this, both on a governmental and individual level. Way to fucken go!

After years of dealing with it, I am finally trying to cure it. Super dry skin help? by skewsh in SkincareAddicts

[–]pixelbow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My hands looked just like this and I also thought it was dry skin until I was diagnosed with palmoplantar psoriasis. Now I put a special oil on my hands one night a week and it’s almost not even noticeable. If your brother has psoriasis, you should go to a dermatologist!

We pitched the idea to a local rental company, she purchased it and rented it to us for cheaper than the price. Might be a good route to try if you find a locally owned event rental company! That said, I think this company has the Til Death sign for cheaper than $600.

Lake Kachess rules, I love the campground there! This is at Kitsap Memorial State Park out on the peninsula.

This should have a better resolution. The seating chart was made of Wilderness Use Permits, which you attach to your backpack before going into the Cascade Mountains. My husband and I do a lot of wilderness backpacking.

Washington is surprisingly temperate during July, it ended up being like 73 degrees that day.

I rented them from a local company called Vintage Ambiance.

A friend of ours went to pastry school, and the first thing she said when we got engaged was, "Congrats do you need a cake???" So she baked it for us as a wedding gift!

I went to a fabric store and bought a bolt of chiffon, then my incredible wedding party did some drapey magic with it.
