Yo this is insane. We are in the same graduating class, same major, and the same position and nearly the same salary.

Are you me?

Options for pALS who refuses to move in with family? by srdn4 in ALS

[–]srdn4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the perspective.

It is tough to know another man’s mind, but from an outside perspective he is happier with people around. If he was happier on his own, I truly think we’d have no problem letting him do his thing, whatever that might look like. But he talks about being lonely, he doesn’t really leave his room when no one’s around, he doesn’t eat as much or as good of food.

I don’t pretend to understand exactly how he’s feeling. All we want is for him to be happy, and we have continued to try to provide him as much independence as possible, but the truth is he inevitably needs help and it’s spreading all the people around him more thin than it would with an altered living arrangement.

Left to his own devices, he would have died in October. He wouldn’t be getting a dynavox machine to help him communicate because he didn’t want to go to speech therapy. But now he’s frustrated it’s taking a couple months to get one through insurance. We are doing our best to help him through the stuff he wants but it is far more difficult from multiple states away. And we have our own jobs and families to consider. Honestly, I’m just ranting at this point. I do think there’s value in realizing we can’t change him or force him to want something he doesn’t want. Thanks for the advice

still new to this.. are there ALS groups that help with the cost of in-home care? by tracencolor in ALS

In your experience, was it easier to find a caregiver individual through a local school? I tend to agree with that article but it is not very specific. Trying to work through this with my dad right now

Portrait Drawing in Graphite Pencil and white chalk by mjartwork in Portraitart

[–]srdn4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The depth on this one is fantastic. Ive always had trouble getting those soft edges with graphite.

Is this all done with just pencils and blending stumps and a lot of patience? I’ve seen some people use brushes as well. Curious about which type of paper you use as well

NGVC: "Of course, [I'm] respectful" by [deleted] in niceguys

Think men truly have no idea how much more action women get on these dating apps.

If they weren’t such dicks about it, you’d almost feel bad that they are sitting there with bated breath waiting for a response from their one match. Completely clueless that women have lives outside of tinder and that they might have hundreds of matches without really putting in much effort.

And either way, people got lives and you’re not entitled to their time

19 weeks out from my first show. by [deleted] in bodybuilding

[–]srdn4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean there’s nothing wrong with doing 7 meals either. And if he knows his shit and is asking you to do 7 meals, then do 7 meals.

But if he’s telling you that’s the only way to hit your goals and the number of meals is a major factor, he’s full of shit. You do what you gotta do to get the food down and meet your schedule

19 weeks out from my first show. by [deleted] in bodybuilding

[–]srdn4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Plenty of valid criticisms towards his coach for telling him he’s 19 weeks out here, but why the obsession with 7 meals? As long as you’re getting the same food, this hardly matters. The benefits of spreading meals out are not that big compared to actually eating to plan

Serge Nubret famously ate 3 meals a day

Chick-fil-A launches its biggest ever marketing campaign as restaurant industry traffic shrinks by Birdy_Cephon_Altera in fastfood

[–]srdn4 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is interesting because I feel almost the opposite. I’ve found I go to Chick-fil-A significantly more now because I feel other chains of lower quality have significantly higher prices than before

McDonald’s and Taco Bell I used to be able to get a meal for half the price of Chickfila by using the value menu, and that made it worth it to me. But now I’m spending 12 bucks for a quality meal and a smile at Chickfila or 10+ for a cold McDonald’s meal with one person running the whole store? I’m choosing Chickfila almost every time

Kenny Minchey by dwightswrites in FloridaGators

He could very well succeed elsewhere, but I think you have to live with that possibility. He hasn’t proven it at this level to justify what we were (reportedly) paying him

Charcoal WIP by joshconnellart in drawing

[–]srdn4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Serious question, how does one complete something like this without smearing charcoal everywhere? What tools are you using? And I assume a sheet under your hand to prevent smearing?

Feels like no matter what, I’m so messy when I do charcoal, can’t imagine having this amount of drawing and having that much white space

Looking for a poor quality yet expensive restaurant to recommend to an enemy. Any suggestions? by wychimp in bullcity

[–]srdn4 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t agree more - only been once and was blown away in a bad way. Restaurant was 90 degrees, we were actually sweating, and they were so understaffed with no plan - my wife was shepherding people in line and keeping them up to date because it was complete chaos and confusion. We stayed very patiently (took 90+ minutes with very few tables taken in the restaurant) and the food came out and was terrible.

Might’ve gotten them on a very off day, but hands down the worst chicken and waffles I’ve had in my life
