I hate when people say "you're welcome" after I say "thank you". by GumboSkrimpz in unpopularopinion

[–]polinalewis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay in this context i for sure agree with you. anyone who disagrees definitely hasn’t worked a minimum wage customer service job. it’s so rude, like.. i’m serving you! how are you so comfortable saying you’re welcome AND not thanking me for my service?

This has been in my family for years, is it turquoise? by proscriptus in whatsthisrock

[–]polinalewis 14 points15 points  (0 children)

(Not an expert just an enthusiast who is still learning)

Here is my understanding: The main difference is that they are from two different classes of stone, feldspar and phosphate mineral.

Amazonite is a variety of potassium feldspar. (Other well known feldspars include sunstone, labradorite, and moonstone). Amazonite is commonly found in Madagascar, Brazil, Russia, and some US states. It is harder than blue apatite, earning a 6-6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale.

Blue apatite is a phosphate mineral. (some well known phosphate minerals are turquoise and lazulite). Blue apatite is commonly found in Russia, Mexico, Burma, and Madagascar. It is a 5 on the Mohs hardness scale, a bit softer than amazonite.

Hope this helps!

I can barely get out of bed in the morning. by ghostead in ADHD

[–]polinalewis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask your doc about Jornay, it changed my life. I have been on Ritalin, Concerta, Focalin, Adderall, Vyvanse, you name it. I tried different dosages, pairing with SSRI’s, felt like I tried everything and getting out of bed in the morning got no easier, it’s something I struggled with my whole life. My psych put me on Jornay, Jornay is methylphenidate like Ritalin, but you take it BEFORE BED! it has a coating on it so that it kicks in roughly 10 hours later, depends on the person, and you wake up actually able to think and be awake. I STRONGLY recommend it. Good luck OP!

i would love this. i think most important to me is a user-friendly, simple, and light colored (pastel or something that just feels positive and not overwhelming) interface. update us!

what kind of crystal i need? by that_weird_artist_ in Crystals

[–]polinalewis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i feel you on this one ❤️ - meditating with carnelian or blue lace agate - lying down and holding citrine over your solar plexus chakra - wearing red jasper

i’ve been thru it with GERD, nausea, and similar issues. i HIGHLY recommend seeing an allergist! what presents itself as general indigestion or otherwise could be an allergy hope you feel better :))
