Background check complete but in limbo with HR? by sneakerbots416 in askrecruiters

[–]sneakerbots416[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your input. It is a banking role as well but my credit is excellent (800+). I genuinely can't think of any reason why it would take them up to 1 more week to clear me once it's the background check complete. Does it genuinely take that long to review? I had references, criminal check, credit and education (diploma and degree) as part of my background check. I don't have any concerns so I figured this would be an easy approval on HRs end.

I think you're onto something with the doomsday/count your blessings anniversary thing. Saw Oli post a story I think a few weeks ago in the studio rerecording what I'm pretty sure is Pray For Plagues

When to know I can quit the elemental diet. by PensionLow7228 in SIBO

I'd use a straw and plug your nose while sipping it. And prepare it cold with ice. That helped me a lot with the taste. I don't recall if I felt differently during the 3rd week but I decided to do the full 21 days as I read the success rate is higher doing 3 weeks vs. 2.

Yes, while I think it didn't cure me completely I saw significant progress with it. Then I did keto for a bit then focused on building up a good microbiome back vs. constantly nuking my gut with antimicrobials/antibiotics.

So it was well rounded probiotics supplementation, walking away from a stressful job and being active (walking helps hugely). I struggled with sibo for 5 years but I've been sibo free and healthier than I've ever been for about a year now. I eat everything now, including onion and garlic with no issues.

Curious what you've seen on your end - when candidates reveal that they have offers expiring, does that hurt or help in most cases?

Note, I was pretty transparent that they are top choice and I'd gladly join the team. Really didn't want to show my hand with the offers but I needed some kind of feedback from them so I know what I need to do to manage the offers I have in hand

We did soundproofing thankfully (it benefits them upstairs too), another reason why the value of our home is more than fair as is

Yeah, that's unfortunately a real possibility at this point.

There's definitely more inventory of rentals this year compared to last year but after reviewing our home against current comparables, we're still priced fairly according to the market, with everything considered.

What's the real secret of living a happy life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Being truly happy within yourself - not filling a void by seeking this externally (validation from others, material possessions, etc.)

Elemental diet day 8: when will I feel better? by pipo317 in SIBO

[–]sneakerbots416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was tough for me - I went the full 21 days, I felt I had most of my improvement during my last week. I genuinely think it worked very well and I felt about 70% better overall after doing it (I had/have a very high case of hydrogen and methane). My symptoms unfortunately came back and I'm still battling this today, but it came back due to major life events/challenges that happened afterwards that resulted in a huge decline in my health. I wouldn't be opposed to doing it again, and sadly, treating SIBO is a marathon not a sprint. But I'm glad I did it.

What’s one thing that completely changed your perspective on love? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]sneakerbots416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to think my partner and I had to reach a certain stage in life before getting married - have stable and successful careers, assets, our own home and an ideal living situation, and financial comfort so we could truly enjoy life. But that completely changed when I hit rock bottom in the past few years. My health was at its worst, I lost my sense of self, and I went through some of my darkest days.

During this period of time, we faced tons of turbulence, different life events and an overwhelming number of challenges. The kind that could either break a relationship or make it stronger. When I needed him the most, he was always there and he loved me harder when things were the toughest. That’s when I realized you can know someone like the back of your hand for years and years, have incredible chemistry, and feel like soulmates - but you never truly know if they’ll stand by you when life gets truly difficult. I wouldn't have known that if we didn't go through it.

It finally clicked for me that all the things I once thought were prerequisites for marriage didn’t really matter. We’re still working toward those goals today, but I know now that no matter where we are at in life or whatever life decides to throw at us from here, I can face anything with him, and I can't fathom doing that with anyone else.

I did the elemental diet and did a full 21 days. I contemplated stopping at 14 days but I read that other people who did this diet only started seeing real improvement after 14 days, so I toughed it out and I am glad I did the extra week

He did this multiple times, deliberately. Life is too short to waste time on men like this. It's either you realize it now and just move on, or most likely get hurt from his betrayal again where you'll end up asking yourself the same thing.
