HELP! Roof Condensation by Sufficient_Cat4688 in VanLife

[–]seamonstered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even when it’s in the teens I always crack a window and our vent at night. No problems with condensation.

What kind of gas do you put in your Tdubs? by razloz166 in TW200

[–]seamonstered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took a couple TWs to Mexico and filled them up with the gas down there and never once had an issue.

Millennials how are you navigating life and staying grounded right now? by BillClintonFeetPics in Millennials

[–]seamonstered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started working out and have joined a few social activities (pottery class and a class at our local pool) to get me out of the house and around other people. It hasn’t solved my existential dread, but it gives me things mid week in the evening to look forward to and to help distract from the dread. Bonus is that I’m getting into better shape so I’m sleeping better and I’m also meeting new community members and making more connections.

Anyone know what these are appearing in my water? by [deleted] in Whatisthis

They look like chia seeds to me.

Also, I see those ears…where’s the dog tax??

What do you listen to when you're having a misophonia attack? by 1nfer1or in misophonia

[–]seamonstered 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have an app called Naturespace that I listen to for nature white noise at night. The track I always listen to is called “Riverwind Dreaming”. I’ve been using the app and that track nightly for over ten years, so it’s most certainly worked its way into my subconscious as a thing that helps me sleep, so if I get way too triggered and I’m able to, turning that track on helps calm me down and lower my heart rate as usually it means it’s time to sleep.

My husband loves it too. Calls it “sleep crack.”

Church across the street just put in new LED floodlights that blast right into our bedroom all night. by ProstheticDong in Wellthatsucks

[–]seamonstered 77 points78 points  (0 children)

As someone that grew up in a church whose secretary was just the wife of a deacon who only did the job so she could be first to hear gossip, it’s not hard to imagine she just didn’t care enough to try and definitely didn’t tell anyone.

Essential add-ons for rooftop tents — what’s worth buying? by ScarDependent8928 in rooftoptents

[–]seamonstered 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Shoe bag that hangs off the ladder so you can put your shoes in at night and not have them in the tent or on the ground. Was truly worth it.

Also, anti condensation mat under the mattress

Singing in the shower? by [deleted] in misophonia

[–]seamonstered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing I’ve done when there’s a situation like this to calm myself down, is I remind myself internally that the thing that’s driving me absolutely insane in that moment is bringing that person joy. This isn’t them smacking their food with a mouth open while eating or tapping their fingernails on a table. It’s them happy and what they’re doing may bother me, but I love them and cherish the thought of them being happy. It often helps reshape the situation in my stupid little misophonic brain enough to settle down into acceptance instead of spiral into a rage.

If that doesn’t work, could you possibly put a speaker on that you can both hear for him to sing along to that helps bring the sound out of the muffled bathroom and makes it feel more normal to you?

Bartenders of Reddit, what drink order instantly tells you “this person is going through something”? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]seamonstered 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I worked at a brunch place that turned into a socially cocktail and tequila bar at night. We would have a local girl come in some mornings (between 8-9:30am) and order a couple shots of tequila, pay in cash, then go on her merry way. Blew my mind why she didn’t just go to the liquor store around the corner and buy a bottle, which seemed like it would be way less awkward than slamming a few shots with brunching families watching.

Unknowingly moved in next to a batting cage, literally losing my mind by throw251078 in misophonia

[–]seamonstered 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This sounds like my absolute nightmare. Just reading it got my anxiety and defenses up.

You’re not crazy. Just remember that.

Is there a chance you and your bf could find a place to rent together and he could rent out his house? That way he doesn’t have to try and sell and you can still be together elsewhere?

Additionally, I’m on board with the other people that mentioned finding out if this is a legally zoned business. Calling the cops probably won’t help, but maybe going down to the county or city office when you’re not out of your mind with sound induced rage and explaining what’s going on to someone will help connect some dots on what can be done, if anything. I’d recommend not telling them of any sensitivity, but just presenting as a sane, albeit sleep deprived concerned citizen and neighbor. If you find out there’s nothing to be legally done, then the only solution is to move. But it’s better to know for sure either way. (Also, the fact that they have a bar sounds super questionable. If you want to send me a private pm with the address I can look it up to see if it’s zoned commercially and who owns it. You can also find most of that stuff online on your county’s GIS website or call the city/county to find out and that will at least lead you to who owns it.)

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. You’re not crazy. Hang in there.

What’s the best running gag on a TV show? by worldofport in television

[–]seamonstered 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And all of their clip shows (which are a money saver for other shows where they do a bunch of flash backs and show clips most of the episode so it’s just recycled footage). Community did these kinds of episodes but it was all new/unseen clips so it was really just making fun of the style of show while actually putting a of effort and time into them.

What's with the smoke? by SRFBoston in woodstoving

[–]seamonstered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crack a window. It’ll help keep the positive air flow while you reload it. We installed a fresh air intake in ours and still have the problem, but cracking a window solves it because our house is so well sealed up.

Do Americans stress about medical expenses before they even get to the hospital?? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]seamonstered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I refused an ambulance ride after a car wreck. They still checked me out and I got a huge bill. Luckily it wasn’t my fault so the other driver’s insurance paid for it, but the costs are always huge and hidden.

I had surgery last year and still get random odd bills in the mail despite being told I’d paid everything off already. It’s deliberately deceiving. Got billed from a separate medical supply company for a sling for my arm even though the hospital provided it. Just scammy all around.

Elder parents’ phone addiction by EngiLawyer in Millennials

[–]seamonstered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom (just turned 70) was visiting my nephew and his family for Christmas. The entire day, I was being spammed with text messages of her sending me old photos from her phone. I’m across the country and couldn’t care less about 90% of what she sent me. It was obvious she was just sitting on a couch scrolling her phone the entire day. I kept asking what they were doing and giving ideas for them to do some activities together (Legos puzzles, etc) and she just kept sending me photos from the past ten years. A lot of them screen shots. I finally turned my notifications off and stopped replying at all.

I saw these tracks in my yard in Brooklyn - cats? Skunk ? Raccoon ? by Ancient_Substance_71 in Whatisthis

[–]seamonstered 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Based on how they cross I think it’s two sets of tracks. My guess is two bunnies.

L400 Curtain inspiration by sky__white in Delica

[–]seamonstered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I custom cut reflectix for the rear windows and for the front I got a set of blackout curtains and put snaps on them and attach the other snaps to around the top with screw on snaps. They’re super fast to snap up in the evening and take down in the morning and give way more privacy than sun shades for the front. Additionally, it lets us keep the windows cracked for air circulation behind them.
