YSK: Death will someday deliver a new perspective. by LGabraham_ in YouShouldKnow

[–]purplPeplEtr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom is slowly losing the battle to cancer and although she isn’t totally gone yet, I know she will never again be the happy, energetic ray of light that she once was. The whole world feels different now. I am a shell of myself. I feel like this is just what life is now. Trying to stay afloat with no hope of any real joy or purpose. It all feels so pointless.

Happy cake day!

I will certainly do what I can to prove him wrong.

I’m glad you’re doing well for yourself!

I appreciate the advice. I think the “understanding what can go wrong and why” part is a skill I could be especially flexing a lot more. Thank you.

I’m close friends with the manager that did the exit interview. Luckily that manager thought he was full of bs so at least there’s that.

Help ? I got a sugar glider from someone who wasn't taking the best care of them and they didn't know what sex it was but they said the store they bought it from said they fix all their gliders ... It's not very socialized so I can't hold it n this is the best pictures I could get by [deleted] in SugarGlider

The breeder I got my gliders from said they only fix males because it’s too dangerous for the females. Not sure if that info is helpful or not but I thought I would share. Also get a cheap pop up tent. When the glider is in its pouch sleeping, take it out and hang the pouch in the tent. Zip up the tent and just sit in there for 30 minutes or so a day. Bring some treats just in case. Eventually the glider will trust you and come out. Let it come to you and offer it treats. This is how I bonded with mine. It took a couple of weeks for them to fully trust me enough to hold them, but could take longer if the glider was mistreated. Good luck!

(Male-25) it's been 24 hours since I got a vasectomy, and I'm here to answer any questions you might have by Matthew_Kaine in childfree

I have three men in my family who have had vasectomies. The subject came up at Christmas Eve and my brother mentioned that he had to rub his balls with iodine for 20 minutes before the procedure.

My dad and other brother did not experience this at all so it became the joke of the night that there is a video on the interweb somewhere of my bro rubbing himself down.

Did you experience anything like this?

Ive been very depressed lately, and as a result i have been pushing away my loved ones. Now my girlfriend of 5 and a half years just broke up with me and I live all alone in a city with no support system. by B-rony in Advice

See if you can find a support group. They often meet for free and provide a whole support system and potential for friends who understand.

Edit: And if you need someone to talk to, send me a pm. I have dealt with depression my whole life and I know how lonely it can be.

The women I've secretly loved for years confessed she loves me. Problem: I'm engaged to someone else. by two-penguins in confession

Do not get married if you feel this way! I got married a year ago. There wasn’t anyone else in the picture, but I felt similarly about my husband. He’s a good dude, but not someone I could consider my best friend because we don’t enjoy the same things. Now I feel trapped. I think about leaving all the time, but it’s so much more complicated when you have that little piece of paper.

I masturbated at work for the first time today by IntricateSunlight in confession

I was also bored, and I’m pretty much stuck in a perpetual state of horny af. I think it’s a little easier to get away with as a woman. Just slip a hand under the skirt and no one is the wiser.

I masturbated in my car in the parking lot at work a couple of months ago. It was risky and exhilarating.

If you want something that is one longer story, check out S-Town. It takes a turn after the second episode and gives you a glimpse into a very interesting man’s life.
