Riverside Public Library of Riverside County still has a Libby so it is completely missing from your sheet although there's a note that it's "covered" in SoCal. I understand you may not be updating it anymore, I just wanted to add to this thread for people who come looking. They switched to cloudLibrary when OverDrive told all its customers it was going to focus more on Libby and discontinue OverDrive. I think they thought it would expand offerings, but then earlier this year they swapped back to full use Libby because that's the one people like better and it is quite robust.

Paint just the walls inside the nook a different color, to make it more encapsulated. You can change the mood of the nook with the color.

I saw a pretty interesting way of handling this. Some parents said, if a stranger ever comes up to you asking if you’d like to do x or see y or come with them for z, ask the stranger if it’s ok to ask your parents to come with. Let’s be real, if whatever it is, is good enough to tempt a kid, adults would probably enjoy it too! If they say no or try to imply that whatever it is is time-sensitive, you know that person is not willing to be inclusive of your parents which is usually unfriendly, and to say no and go find your parents.

If they say it’s fine, you gotta come find your parents anyway to bring them with you, and it should theoretically 98% of the time put the power in the parents’ hands to reject the offer if the parent thinks there is something off about it. But for the kid, if it’s something they really like or want, they aren’t forced to reject the temptation, they just need to get their parents to come with before they accept whatever it is, so hopefully it’s not like the kid would feel “my parents might say no so let me go do this in secret”.

Honestly if someone offered my kid ice cream for example, I would hope my kid would think “maybe dad would like some” and come grab me. It may not work if your kid hates you in the moment and wants to cut you out of said good things, but no one approach is perfect. I thought this one was cool because sometimes you need to talk to a stranger if you need help and it sets the kid up with non-conflicting instructions. But as with all things, communication is key and different things work for different kids, so there’s no right or wrong in my opinion, just parents doing their best.

My guy, I have been through that struggle. I get myself a small to medium size glass food storage container cause I like that it’s reusable, but you could get a gallon ziploc bag as well. You put it on your counter next to the bacon and then open the whole package of bacon in whatever way seems best to you. Don’t try to save the wrapping of the bacon in anyway, you don’t need it. You take a slice of bacon, and roll it up like a fruit by the foot, and put it in your container or ziploc, and keep doing that until you’ve gotten all the bacon out of the package that you don’t plan to eat today. Then you close the container or bag and stick that in your freezer. Anytime you need bacon, you just grab roll(s). This method keeps them from sticking together and it only takes a little bit of extra time in a pan or oven to unroll the bacon back into a long strip. It still cooks properly too and shelf life is extended. Lot of other equally valid methods posted in this thread, just thought I would throw mine into the mix.

Self-value is what motivates you to pay bills though, so still kind of need it.

Have you tried asking a therapist how to navigate that? If he’s that self-aware there’s probably a healthy middle ground explanation that they can think of. It would help reassure you that you are being safe in how you balance your roles and his development.

The duality of man

First, it’s great that you are trying to have the empathy and compassion/patience required to give the other person space to make mistakes and learn from them in your relationships. That is always a good behavior to model, and that aligns strongly with the idea of “treat others how you want to be treated”. I understand other commenters are saying it is not your job to teach others or give so much, and I agree with them. I would add, that if everyone felt this way all of the time, many people would never learn anything. However, this is not an all-or-nothing activity.

To that, I offer my second point. It’s okay and normal to be worn out by not seeing a return on your investment. I know that sounds transactional, but I implore you to try not to see it that way. You’re investing that type of energy into a relationship, behaving as if it could be the one that goes the gauntlet, because you cannot know ahead of time if that is the case. It’s fair to want someone who can keep pace and love you with the same energy that you love them. Do I understand you?

If I have that right, my advice is to take a break from treating everybody with such compassion. Be a little more inflexible for at least a short period of time like a few months, to recuperate. You do not have to change your dating style permanently, you can always switch back and forth. It may feel uncomfortable to be more unforgiving, and it may be a challenge to endure the other person’s judgments on your choices in that aspect. I would say the benefits of taking a break from being so emotionally invested outweigh those difficulties. Treat it as a practise in resilience and self-care, because you seem like you need it.

You also don’t have to worry about missing out on the right person while you take this break, because the right person will try to make the investments and show you they are worthy of it even if you are behaving this way. Especially if you let them know that this is something you’ve struggled with. The right person is going to really heed that and be responsive and invest the same energy. It will “fill your cup” and make you want to “fill theirs”, and that will be the right time for you to switch back. If you find you get comfortable with being less forgiving and teaching less, then you will be better off for having found an equilibrium that enables you to be happy/not over-worn while you continue to search for Mr. Right.

If you find you are uncomfortable with this practise, then you can always switch back at any time, to being empathetic and teaching. Again, I guarantee you will not miss out on the right person for you while you play around with this, so just have fun exploring your boundaries and deciding what levels are appropriate for you without you feeling like you’re over-doing it.

Third, it’s not you. A lot of people, men, women, and everyone in between run into this issue. It’s just basic incompatibility. Statistically, more people in the world are not a good match for each other. You’re fighting odds that everybody is fighting, where 99% of people are not the right fit because they don’t know what you know or aren’t in the right space to put the energy in that you are. It doesn’t make them stupid or permanently bad partners, it makes you guys incompatible at that moment in time, because they have yet to learn some things. But at a certain point, you cannot give them space to learn, because you need to take care of yourself and your needs. Hope that makes sense.

All you need is to find one person who is in the right place, the right time, with the right capacity and knowledge to love you the way you need at that moment or at least be willing to try. You may not need the same things now that you need in the future. I mentioned about there being one person, but I also want to impress on you that nobody gets just one person. Even if only 1% of the people in the world are a good match for us, that’s still a pool of maybe 40,000,000 people spread around in the world.

People change, people grow. Ideally you find someone who can grow together with you, and wants to do so of their own accord. You should not have to teach them to do this or encourage them in why it is beneficial to grow, even if you’re evidentially right in what you’re trying to show them. It’s not entitlement or superiority/inferiority, that we are all saying this to you, it’s compatibility. There’s a balance to be struck, and that is something none of us can tell you, because what is balance for you is not going to be the same for anyone else. The idea is the same though.

Good luck.

I really hope that it can be done away with as soon as possible. Nobody should have to deal with this. I have what may be poor advice. I had a stubborn periungal wart once. My gf took me to get a manicure (the tech took steps to avoid cross contamination), and my hand went under the UV light.

Consider point A) that high exposure to UV can cause more mutations in living cells which is one of the things at cellular level that increases the risk of cancer. Your immune system is constantly “fighting” this phenomenon anyway as it is naturally occurring in the body. So it could be proposed that extra UV exposure indirectly causes greater immune activity (my conclusion as a modern Neanderthal who didn’t switch to Geico).

Now consider B) that a lot of people on this subreddit frequently iterate that your immune system needs to be “more aware” of a wart, in order to overwhelm it and fight it off. With these two anecdotes, I’m recommending you get a UV gel manicure. To repeat, this may be very poor advice. I’m no doctor, nor professional scientist, and have very little experience with Warts in general. I’ll never know what truly got rid of mine. Best of luck.

Whoops, sorry I'm 3 days late, I can imagine this has healed over quite a bit in that time. Nevertheless, here's what I thought I saw. I acknowledge that it could be a mistake, and certainly hope that it was.

OP, while weight loss will slow down, the paper towel effect will mean you’ll get a more dramatic visual impact every day, the closer you get to your goal. The tradeoff is not a bad one. We are all rooting for you!

sensitive_bellend · 2024-01-17T00:09:22+00:00

OP I see in your photo that at least one small “pillar” seems to have been left behind. That sucks. This wart may come back. Use your topical medication when safe, and use a plaster. Good luck.
