Alachua county elder care
Why???
2024.05.15 11:58 bachimaasum Why???
My brother constantly asking me to get married and I'm afraid... I'm afraid what if my future partner will be like my father or my brother or my brother-in-law or the man in my family and relatives... People say that girl always wants a partner like her father but I don't ... I love him and I tried whole time to get his attention... But he never cared, it's like he never see me... You know whenever I went to my relatives house when I was little, they always told how father never wanted me, how he ignored me when I was, I was just a burden.... And I always wanted to ask this from my father my mother, if they never wanted me then why gose through all the trouble to give birth to me and why they keep me, why not abandoned me... They have a perfect family before me, Dad mom and elder daughter and a son then why they bring me into their perfect family and ruined it... Now they both left me with a ruined mind.. a child with mental unstable that no one wants it... But you know I did everything so people don't abandoned me... I do everything, I listened everything, I pretend like a sweet, innocent and naive girl... I don't question or talk loudly or too much, I stopped going out with my friends and even Stop talking with them but still why I didn't get their attention.... What would I do to get their attention and affection or everything.. for once I tell myself to get married, I thought I got married to the person they want they will love me, care about me, I'm no longer be invisible in their eyes but the reality hit me, if I got married they never forget about me, and what if my partner see the disqualities then what, what if my future partner started to treat me like my family and friends or those people what I'm going to do. I'm afraid to be attached... So much that I started isolated myself from everyone and everything, it's really feel good for some time but all those memories and voices don't let me sleep, my heart is too loud that I want to squeeze it to stop... Why, why, why, can't I be loved.... I deserve it?

2024.05.15 11:32 Brandon_Smith_78 (UK) My Girlfriend and the HM Passport Office UK - Please help us find a way to get married and live together
I live in the EU and my Girlfriend lives in the UK. She has now already some time ago paid the HM Passport Office to get her passport, and they are repeatedly asking her to make someone confirm her identity, which can be done online
at : https://www.passport.service.gov.uk/confirm-identity
There is a list of eligible people who can do this, and she had already a few people do it, who know her for many years. But the HMPO does always say that those people are not eligible, while they are on the list and they do have a British Passport and did everything correct, to confirm her identity.
The problem is now, she does not know many people, and has already made everyone do this process that she knows, and they know her for many years, long enough to be eligible. But every time it is being rejected for no reason, and my Girlfriend is also NOT wanted or anything, she is just a normal person without any criminal history.
This rejections do have an impact on her mental health, every time they refuse someone she is getting mentally heavily unstable and I have a hard time calming her down, because she always thinks she will never be able to ever leave the UK and come to me, she is mentally very unstable and this worries me much. What worries me the most is, we do not have any eligible people left she knows, since she has not many contacts due to her mental health issues, it feels to me as if she is living in a communist country, where people are not allowed to leave - how is Britain a "free country" if she has no way now to ever get a passport and come to me to live with me ?
Where can I find eligible people with British Passport that would be willing to confirm her identity online or how do I get help at getting her passport ? On the website it says the following to make sure someone can confirm the identity :
You can only confirm someone’s identity if you:
are 18 or over live in the UK have a current UK passport have known the person applying for at least 2 years know the person applying as a friend, neighbour or colleague (not just someone who knows you professionally)
You must work in (or be retired from) a ‘recognised profession’. For example:
accountant airline pilot articled clerk of a limited company assurance agent of recognised company bank or building society official barrister chairman or director of a limited company chiropodist commissioner for oaths councillor, for example local or county civil servant (permanent) dentist director, manager or personnel officer of a VAT-registered company engineer with professional qualifications financial services intermediary, for example a stockbroker or insurance broker fire service official funeral director insurance agent (full time) of a recognised company journalist Justice of the Peace legal secretary (fellow or associate member of the Institute of Legal Secretaries and PAs) licensee of a public house local government officer manager or personnel officer of a limited company member, associate or fellow of a professional body Member of Parliament Merchant Navy officer minister of a recognised religion (including Christian Science) nurse (RGN or RMN) officer of the armed services optician paralegal (certified paralegal, qualified paralegal or associate member of the Institute of Paralegals) person with honours, for example an OBE or MBE pharmacist photographer (professional) police officer Post Office official president or secretary of a recognised organisation Salvation Army officer social worker solicitor surveyor teacher or lecturer trade union officer travel agent (qualified) valuer or auctioneer (fellow or associate members of the incorporated society) Warrant Officers and Chief Petty Officers Who cannot confirm someone’s identity
You cannot confirm someone’s identity if:
you’re related by birth or marriage you’re in a relationship with them or live together you work for HM Passport Office you work for UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) on British citizenship or right of abode applications you’re a doctor - unless you know the person who has asked you well (for example, you’re a good friend)
To me this list seems unreasonably complicated and I do not know how anyone can actually get a Passport in the UK at all.
Anyone knows how to get help ? We already called the HMPO but they give a fuck and do not help at all, they do simply not seem to care. We are getting very desperate and I have a hard time convincing her to stay alive, and this is destroying us and our relationship.

2024.05.15 11:29 trying_my_best- Any advice is appreciated
I apologize this is a bit long I just desperately need to rant and need advice on what to do next about my pain. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in my teens.
Bottom line I’m in so so much pain. Crying myself to sleep kind of pain gasping when I move kind of pain. I was diagnosed in my teens and am currently in my 20s in college. I’ve spent more than 1/4 of my life sick and looking for treatment. I never got to experience adult freedom without being held back by pain.
I’m just wondering if all you kind people have any advice of where to go from here. Back to pain management to physical therapy to massage therapy?
For a little context I stopped seeing western medicine doctors about a year ago after being told by a pain management specialist that there was “no other medication or procedures we can try”. It hurt so so bad to hear that. To hear I just get to have a lifetime of pain. When I was a teenager I got very sick doctors didn’t believe me because what does a teenage girl know about her own health. I almost died while still being expected to go to high school.
I moved past that and worked so hard to make myself better. It doesn’t matter it hasn’t worked. I’m in college now studying a STEM major with plans for a masters and maybe PhD. I often feel like my career is sidelined by my pain and I’m terrified I will be fired constantly for not coming to work because of pain. I want to work I want to be normal I want to participate and be social and it feels like I am always one step behind my peers, often literally.
My degree requires lots of outdoor education, probably one of the worst majors I could have chosen for having chronic pain hahaha. But I love it and feel like it’s my calling.
Currently I feel like I’m at a crossroads. I don’t know wether to continue like I am now and just say screw it I’m going to be in pain or start the endless cycle of disappointment and medical gaslighting I’ve been subjected to for more than have a decade.
I have diagnosed CPTSD from severe childhood trauma and medical trauma so starting to see doctors again is a little terrifying for me. I’ve had some doctors say some really really horrible things and act in horrible ways. As a minor I was told that because I was fat no neurologist would ever believe me and I would never get treatment but that I was still pretty. (Yes a doctor actually said that) I was also physically violated by a doctor who deemed it necessary to do a “full” examination of me including under my pants while I begged for her to stop. It was so traumatic and I genuinely am not sure if it was sexual assault due to the amount of times I said no and the places she touched. I don’t know if this is normal or not, it occurred over a decade ago. Since then I’ve had doctors gaslight me, not care about me, medical offices who don’t respond because their elderly patients are much more important than me. People regularly telling me I’m too young to be in this much pain, yeah I wish.
As a conclusion (despite’s this post) I am a very optimistic person generally. I am happy in life and have a great support system and a very kind partner. I’m proud of myself and I’ve worked so so hard to get from where I was as a teenager to where I am now. I went through severe childhood abuse that caused me to have depression, anxiety, and CPTSD as stated earlier. Ive done my best to make my life have as much meaning and kindness in it as I can. But I just can’t do it anymore. I don’t want to die just for the pain to end. I don’t want to live the rest of my life like this.
Thank you for reading to the end. Please feel free to share and advice or stories of your own. ❤️

Anyone knows how to get help ? We already called the HMPO but they give a fuck and do not help at all, they do simply not seem to care. We are getting very desperate and I have a hard time convincing her to stay alive, and this is destroying us and our relationship.
2024.05.15 11:03 operationalchefs Why the Enhanced DBS Checks are so Important in Catering
 | https://preview.redd.it/xo3u38bn2k0d1.jpg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b58508157b032bea0d3026dad8a1f839e53c1f7f submitted by operationalchefs to u/operationalchefs [link] [comments] Culinary places are always full of vibrancy and hustle with the constant buzz all around. Surely there can be no arguments about the significance of a safe and trusted environment. We reckon that well enough and comprehend that the importance of the background check should be in place for maintaining the integrity and safe workplaces with Operational Chef Consultant. One of the most important checks is the Enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check. Read on to find out more about the importance of Enhanced DBS Checks and the goodness that they bring into the culinary industry. What is an Enhanced DBS Check? An Enhanced DBS Check is a comprehensive background check carried out by the Disclosure and Barring Service, applied for by employers to assist in making safer recruitment decisions. Unlike a standard or basic check, an enhanced DBS check reveals more in-depth screening of the individual's criminal record, showing previous spent and unspent convictions, reprimands, cautions, and any other relevant information held by the local police. The main purpose of these detailed checks is to show the unsuitable people who apply to work with vulnerable groups, including children. Why Enhanced DBS Checks Are So Important in the Catering Sector Culinary is a very habitual industry and works in an environment wherein the staff always have contact with many people, mostly involving the vulnerable in the society, like children and the elderly. There are many reasons why it is important to ensure that all members of the staff are checked under Enhanced DBS Checks: Ensuring safety and trust Safety and trust in any workplace is of prime importance, especially if one is dealing with a vulnerable group. The Enhanced DBS Check should serve to ensure that a harmful person is identified before they can do any damage, most especially in a school, hospital, or care home where chefs and kitchen staff may be required to work. Protecting the Good Name of Your Business The operational chef consultant in a business based on its reputation for trust and reliability is the only line of business. In ensuring all employees are trustworthy and reliable by having an Enhanced DBS Check, the Operational Chef Consultant supports the business to maintain its reputation. Legal Compliance The law in the UK requires some positions to be applied for with an Enhanced DBS Check. Failure to do this results in severe legal consequences for businesses. Operational Chef Consultant saves businesses from fines and potential legal issues by ensuring they are in compliance with the law. How an Operational Chef Consultant supports improved DBS checks Here at Operational Chef Consultant, we fully understand how arduous it is to get through Enhanced DBS Checks. This is why we help our clients in this matter. Comprehensive Guidance Our team of specialists guides customers through the whole DBS check procedure: from reviewing the level of the check that would be required, to submitting the application, and finally interpreting the results. Quick and Efficient Processing We understand that time is of the essence in the culinary world. This is why we always make sure that all DBS checks are done quickly, being one step ahead in minimizing the interruption to your business. Privacy and Observation We highly appreciate confidentiality and compliance. All the personal information taken through the process of DBS checking is handled with care and according to the laws of GDPR. This gives our clients total confidence in the security and privacy of their data. Benefits of Hiring an Operational Chef Consultant The reasons why it would be great to consider choosing Operational Chef Consultant for Enhanced DBS Checks are numerous. With a professional approach in understanding the industry, we have in-depth knowledge of the catering world to assure our service is effective and, importantly, relative to our clients. Industry Experience Having been in the culinary industry for a long time, we understand most of the unique challenges and the specific requirements of our clients, and in effect, we can be in a position to avail of very effective service that is also very relevant to the need of the industry. Personalized Service What this means is that we take pride in the high level of personalization in our service. Our team works closely with a client to understand specific needs and to be able to tailor solutions that meet these particular needs. Mental Peace By putting all employees through enhanced DBS Checks, businesses can be reassured that they have done what is necessary to protect staff, customers, and reputation. Summary In conclusion, safety, trust, and compliance are some of the things that Enhanced DBS Checks ensure in the hospitality industry. At Operational Chef Consultant, our clients enjoy seamless, efficient DBS checking services. We make compliance with the law very easy for them, hence ensuring safe, reputable, and legal businesses.

2024.05.15 10:45 trying_my_best- Any advice is appreciated
I apologize this is a bit long I just desperately need to rant and need advice on what to do next about my pain. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in my teens.
Bottom line I’m in so so much pain. Crying myself to sleep kind of pain gasping when I move kind of pain. I was diagnosed in my teens and am currently in my 20s in college. I’ve spent more than 1/4 of my life sick and looking for treatment. I never got to experience adult freedom without being held back by pain.
I’m just wondering if all you kind people have any advice of where to go from here. Back to pain management to physical therapy to massage therapy?
For a little context I stopped seeing western medicine doctors about a year ago after being told by a pain management specialist that there was “no other medication or procedures we can try”. It hurt so so bad to hear that. To hear I just get to have a lifetime of pain. When I was a teenager I got very sick doctors didn’t believe me because what does a teenage girl know about her own health. I almost died while still being expected to go to high school.
I moved past that and worked so hard to make myself better. It doesn’t matter it hasn’t worked. I’m in college now studying a STEM major with plans for a masters and maybe PhD. I often feel like my career is sidelined by my pain and I’m terrified I will be fired constantly for not coming to work because of pain. I want to work I want to be normal I want to participate and be social and it feels like I am always one step behind my peers, often literally.
My degree requires lots of outdoor education, probably one of the worst majors I could have chosen for having chronic pain hahaha. But I love it and feel like it’s my calling.
Currently I feel like I’m at a crossroads. I don’t know wether to continue like I am now and just say screw it I’m going to be in pain or start the endless cycle of disappointment and medical gaslighting I’ve been subjected to for more than have a decade.
I have diagnosed CPTSD from severe childhood trauma and medical trauma so starting to see doctors again is a little terrifying for me. I’ve had some doctors say some really really horrible things and act in horrible ways. As a minor I was told that because I was fat no neurologist would ever believe me and I would never get treatment but that I was still pretty. (Yes a doctor actually said that) I was also physically violated by a doctor who deemed it necessary to do a “full” examination of me including under my pants while I begged for her to stop. It was so traumatic and I genuinely am not sure if it was sexual assault due to the amount of times I said no and the places she touched. I don’t know if this is normal or not, it occurred over a decade ago. Since then I’ve had doctors gaslight me, not care about me, medical offices who don’t respond because their elderly patients are much more important than me. People regularly telling me I’m too young to be in this much pain, yeah I wish.
As a conclusion (despite’s this post) I am a very optimistic person generally. I am happy in life and have a great support system and a very kind partner. I’m proud of myself and I’ve worked so so hard to get from where I was as a teenager to where I am now. I went through severe childhood abuse that caused me to have depression, anxiety, and CPTSD as stated earlier. Ive done my best to make my life have as much meaning and kindness in it as I can. But I just can’t do it anymore. I don’t want to die just for the pain to end. I don’t want to live the rest of my life like this.
Thank you for reading to the end. Please feel free to share and advice or stories of your own. ❤️

2024.05.15 09:53 Impossible-Type-1276 I [28F] told my Partner [35M] of 8 years that i dont want to work anymore and that he needs to stop dumping his responsibilities on me
TL;DR
For context, I am a Massage Therapist [28F] while my partner [35M] is a Line Cook. We've been together for 8 years and We have a six-year-old child. When I got pregnant in 2017, we were still boyfriend and girlfriend and not living together. I continued working while pregnant to cover my expenses and rent since I was living alone.
When I reached my sixth month of pregnancy, I decided to move in with him because I couldn't continue doing massages, and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to pay the rent. I thought it would be easier if I had someone to support me financially since he was still working in a call center at that time. However, when we started living together, he had a conflict with someone in his company and he resigned. He didn't apply for another job since then. (I was seven months pregnant when he resigned).
We were in a tight situation, but luckily we were able to live with his family, so we didn't have to pay rent. I went to public hospitals for my check-ups and delivery, so we didn't have to spend money on that. But for our food and our baby's needs, his mother provided for us. At that time, his two siblings were still in college, and his mother was only selling food, so the budget she left for us was only 50 pesos a day. We would get our meals from the food she sold.
I felt really embarrassed to ask for more, to the point that I ran out of money to buy cleaning supplies for my stitches after my C-section. I used panty liners to cover the wound. I didn't want to ask for help from my parents because since I got pregnant, my parents didn't want me to be with him. I was the one who insisted.
Six months after giving birth, I went back to doing massages even though it was difficult for me, and he's left at home to take care of our child and do the household chores. But whenever there's an opportunity, I also help out because he always says that being a house husband is tiring. I really forced myself to work because I felt sorry for us, always relying on handouts. I tried telling him to find work, but the thing is, he keeps flunking the medical exams because of his lung scar. When he applied and failed, he didn't want to try again.
Since then, I have been the one shouldering all the expenses, from baby's needs, food, baptism, birthdays, Christmas, and everything else. My brother forced him to work as a construction worker, and he did it for almost three months, but when the project was finished, he lost his job again. Fast forward In December 2023, his friend got him a job at a restaurant, and he asked me to quit my job so that I could take care of our child. So I resigned, but I still do freelance work twice a week to supplement our budget.
However, there was a problem with their job, so the one-month salary they were supposed to receive was not given immediately. I used up my earnings to support him and our household expenses (bills, food, and our child's school allowance). I was forced to work again because we had nothing left. After two months, he found another job. We both started working, and we hired someone to take care of our child.
I told him that we should split the expenses, but he refused because he only earns minimum wage and he thinks I earn more. I earn 700 pesos per day plus tips (400-700 pesos per day), and on my two rest days, I do freelance work and earn 3,000 pesos weekly. So our weekly budget is 2,000 pesos, including our child's allowance. I divide it into two so that we each contribute 1,000 pesos. Since I earn more, I pay for the water, electricity, internet, caregiver's fee, and gas. The 1,000 pesos is his only contribution, but he still pushing to cut down on what he's chipping in. He wants me to reduce his share so that he can buy things for himself since he thinks I earn a lot. I don't want to agree to that.
I understand that maybe now, since he has finally earned some money through his hard work, he wants to be able to buy the things he desires. But what about our child's needs? I want him to be obligated to provide for our son, but I can't really say it. I always get scared when I try to voice out my feelings because he gets angry right away and says I talk too much.
I'm really struggling, but I have no one to talk to because I don't want my family's view of him to change. I can't even tell his family because they are still his relatives. I don't have any close friends I can confide in. It's difficult because he is a good father to our child, he doesn't cheat on me, and he is caring, especially before when he didn't have a job. He just doesn't have a provider mindset.
I have already told him before that in my line of work, I can't avoid indecent proposals and harassment, even though I don't tolerate them. It's inevitable that there will be people who will try to take advantage. That's why I don't want to work anymore, especially since I have been the only one working throughout our relationship. We've been together for 8 years. If we count the days we've been together, he hasn't even worked for a year yet, he just agrees without making any effort to apply for a job.
I'm so tired, I feel like I'm completely neglecting myself and my mental health. I understand what I should do, the thought of separating has crossed my mind, but I'm worried about the impact it would have on our child. I also don't want to add more worries for my elderly parents since they are both senior citizens. I'm really struggling with this decision.

2024.05.15 09:49 lostcausetrapped How to remove odors and clean this up?

I am asking this for an elderly fmaily member who does not use computer let alone reddit... basically an elderly relative of mine has been renting out his home while he is recovering in a rehab facility for a fall he had (it's a long stay, and he;'s being discharged soon). He rented his home out to a young couple with 2 kids and they completely destroyed teh place.. they had numerous pets, (it seems), and there are feces let all over.. teh smell is disgusting. He does not have a lot of money.. fixed income from his social security.. I've offered to clean the best I can but where do I start with cleaners? The flooring is the fiberglass type 'fake wood (idk what it's called).. not vinyl flooring throughout the entire home.. no carpeting.

2024.05.15 09:39 teenstravage This is my story, and the reason why I want to talk to our juniors.
I am a PCMB student from Kerala. The past two years have been extremely difficult for me. I've struggled with suicidal thoughts, clinical anxiety, and worsening asthma. Just three days ago, I broke up with my long-time boyfriend. Two days ago, my 12th-grade results were released. Best of 5 subjects: 92%.
But this story starts back in 2006, when I was born. I am the youngest girl in a family that doesn’t openly discriminate based on gender, but there are biases. My family is full of medicos who believe that MBBS is the ultimate goal. I have 11 cousins on my mother’s side, all of whom took PCMB, cracked NEET/JEE, studied in tier-1 colleges, and now work in MNCs, live abroad, or have central government jobs. They all had love marriages, had kids, and built their own houses in their early 30s. My elder sister, my only sibling, is currently gearing up to be a house surgeon, following this same path.
When I first joined school, I was no different. From KG to 8th grade, I was always the topper, had great scores, and won many prizes. Although I couldn’t sing, dance, or draw well, I excelled in speeches and debates, and I owned the stage during my school years. I was never afraid of the stage and took part in all competitions, either as a participant or as an anchor or organizer. Teachers often said I was the face of the batch.
Then COVID-19 happened. Since birth, I’ve had health issues which worsened when I got COVID. I was hospitalized for a long time and then put on bed rest. I hated rote learning and could only study if I understood the material, but during this period, I couldn’t even touch the 9th-grade syllabus.
I've always loved science, especially planetary physics and anthropology, but my best subjects were social sciences and literature. I’ve loved reading for as long as I can remember. So, when it came to deciding my future, I was always torn between Arts and Science.
While on bed rest, I kept up with other subjects except for Math and Science. By 10th grade, I realized I would do better as an Arts student. Having to memorize concepts without understanding made me hate Science. Despite this, I completed 10th with 96.4% marks, topping my school. But due to pressure from important people in my life, I took PCMB in 11th. News flash – I hated it.
I got into an unhealthy relationship that affected all aspects of my life. My friendships were a mix of toxic and great. By the end of 11th, I failed in Physics. The next year, I tried to pick up the pieces. Though I’m sure I could have done much better if I wasn’t so emotionally exhausted and surrounded by better people, I’m grateful for the 92% I scored.
Before the board exams, I tried to fill in as many gaps as I could, figuring it out on my own without guidance. My school only cared about their top students and just wanted others to pass somehow. I’ve never liked tuition, so I’ve never had it.
In my next posts, I'll be sharing some advice for my juniors that I wish someone had given me when I was struggling. I've wanted to do this for a long time but thought I should wait for my results first. I also don't want to keep talking about my 12th-grade results for years, like some YouTubers, so I thought I should get it over with now.
Your value is not defined by your academic achievements alone. Your resilience, passions, and how you overcome challenges shape who you are. Stay strong, believe in yourself, and keep moving forward.

While on bed rest, I kept up with other subjects except for Math and Science. By 10th grade, I realized I would do better as an Arts student. Having to memorize concepts without understanding made me hate Science. Despite this, I completed 10th with 96.4% marks, topping my school. But due to pressure from important people in my life, I took PCMB in 11th. News flash – I hated it.
I got into an unhealthy relationship that affected all aspects of my life. My friendships were a mix of toxic and great. By the end of 11th, I failed in Physics. The next year, I tried to pick up the pieces. Though I’m sure I could have done much better if I wasn’t so emotionally exhausted and surrounded by better people, I’m grateful for the 92% I scored.
Before the board exams, I tried to fill in as many gaps as I could, figuring it out on my own without guidance. My school only cared about their top students and just wanted others to pass somehow. I’ve never liked tuition, so I’ve never had it.
In my next posts, I'll be sharing some advice for my juniors that I wish someone had given me when I was struggling. I've wanted to do this for a long time but thought I should wait for my results first. I also don't want to keep talking about my 12th-grade results for years, like some YouTubers, so I thought I should get it over with now.
Your value is not defined by your academic achievements alone. Your resilience, passions, and how you overcome challenges shape who you are. Stay strong, believe in yourself, and keep moving forward.
2024.05.15 09:37 WookV3M0 Is my sister abusive or am I making a big deal over nothing?
Hello,
I first feel the need to point out that I'm an adult and not a child. I live in my mother's house with my sister, her family and my brother. We all take care of our elderly mother. I'm also diabetic and my body has been damaged by an inability to care for it over the years due to my bad financial situation.
My sister moved in to help around 2013. From the start she did changes to the house that I felt were off but I didn't think anything at the time.
First she did things like remove my mother's photos and a small religious setup she had because my sister thought it was ugly and wanted photos of her family. She then removed my entire collection of movies from the shelf and boxed them because she didn't like how it looked in the living room and replaced it with her stuff. I felt this was rude of her but I let it go.
Over time she started to do more controlling things towards me. Stuff small like my jacket wasn't allowed in the coat closet and only her family's was. Then she stopped allowing me to use the pool in the backyard. When I asked why she said it was because I was dirty and she didn't want to deal with that in the pool. I admit I'm not the most tidy in my room but I have a bit of a germaphobic mind so I'm constantly cleaning myself stuff before touching anything and after.
Things calmed down after this though she would constantly berate me for the stove being dirty or certain dishes being dirty and even when I said I hadn't even cooked that day she would make comments that would subtly say I'm a liar.
She eventually got to a point where she told me I wasn't allowed to use the washer and dryer anymore because my clothes were dirty. It stressed me because I need to wash my clothes and I figured the point of a washer and dryer was to clean them.
Then it became the same thing with the shower which stresses me out more but the big thing that's happened now is she's just flat out said that I'm not allowed to use the bathroom. This has me on the verge of a breakdown. I've told her before, many times, that I can't physically use any further bathroom when I have to go because of how bad my body is damaged, and she just says she doesn't care.
The constant argument again is that I'm dirty. I find this a rather interesting thing for her to point out as before she moved in we had a few cats and a dog. But when she moved in she brought all her family pets with her, got two more dogs and adopted a bunch of cats that outside strays had. The house smells really bad and there's often dog droppings all over the house floor.
Again I've tried to bring these things to her attention and her response is always that she doesn't care.
I apologize for such a longwinded post. I'm just wondering is my sister actually being abusive to me or am I blowing all this out of proportion and being too sensitive to what's going on?

My SIL is at least 15 years elder. She had a tough pregnancy, and had twins but lost one due to Edward’s syndrome. So I understand and empathize where she is coming from. But whenever we have a call - I am handed a bunch of list of don’ts that seriously annoy me . I understand that some do make sense but some are so generic as if I need to stop living my life as a normal human or do normal things ( by which I mean working through the day, driving .. ) I am only 13 weeks now.
List includes make sure you eat by 7PM. Make sure you don’t eat stale food for the next meal, I mean I don’t have that much time to cook 4 meals a day. Dont eat outside, don’t clean the house , don’t tend to your plants in the garden , don’t walk fast ( forget even exercise) and then the conversation always ends I am not trying to scare you, I am just telling you to take care. It all sounds so negative. The way that conversation makes me angry is far worse for my kid than the other things I am expected to do or not do.
I have seen ladies exercise , I have seen ladies drive until their last trimester. Calm down and let me live. I am not even a high risk pregnancy per my doctor, let me have the pleasure of feeling normal ( even though pregnancy doesn’t feel normal to my body) and be excited about my baby. I don’t want myself to be anxious about all that I am doing wrong ( which might not even be wrong).

Me 31M and my girl 33F We love each other a lot It's been 10 months. We've had our ups and downs.
She's elder. Earns more. Is the sole bread winner of her house. Takes care of her mum and overall is an amazing person.
The whole thing about our relationship is lack of respect and trust.
I doubt she sees me as the man she'd have liked to end up with because I've always sensed that she underestimates me and doesn't see me as an equal.
In the early days of the relationship I used to walk away thinking this is to good to be true. And in the recent months, she's been willing to walk away as my belief in making this work has grown stronger.
I'll address a few problems here - she has her DMs open and constantly gets approached by men. Some she cuts of. Some she allows (for professional reasons apparently). Some of those conversations seem more than friendly and she actively engages with some men that are obviously hitting on her. - she's compared me to multiple people in the past (including calling me a 2.0 of an ex-fuckbuddy she was madly in love with) - Once, after one breakup that I initiated. She came to my terrace to make up. We did. I took her home cause I had to wear pants before I dropped her home. My cousin was there and she didn't hesitate to make it obvious she was being overly friendly with him. "Accidently" flashed her panites his way. - she's slapped me in public during a heated fight. Just to come back home and try having sex like nothing happened. - she fights with me about her way of dressing . As a boyfriend, I just highlight that revealing clothes attract the wrong attention, which I don't like if it's my girlfriend. Never stopped her from wearing anything, anywhere, anytime. She still seems to think I want her behind a curtain. - most recently, at a party together she called a male friend of mine 'baby' (accidently) right in front me. Just to justify it in front of him by saying she calls other men baby too. Post this party, there wass an outburst in front of my mother where we both misbehaved.
She has a tendency to at times bring up being a 'crazy' 'badass' chick and also at times says her misbehaviour is due to her 'daddy issues'.
Currently due to our last fight, she's going to stay mad at me for the next few days cause I responded to a statement she mad in a very wrong way I want to trust her blindly, and be with her confidently, but situations arise and make it difficult. Speaking to her about it usually makes it worse for me.
I'm reaching out to the reddit community to get an opinion on whether, from an outsiders perspective, I'm being played or, just misunderstanding her. There's ofcourse two sides of the story, but.. I need you guys to give me perspective. Tell me how much of a pathetic simp I'm being? I used to be okay with letting go of this love stuff. I'm suddenly finding it hard in this situation.
I love her and want this to work, but maybe I/we are not seeing something. What should I do here?

They are typically harvested from swiftlet's nests found in caves and man-made structures.Red Bird NestsRedbird nests, also known as blood nests, are rarer and more expensive.

2024.05.15 09:11 BananaResearcher My quick breakdown of the trailer for what it's worth
Gonna keep this concise, if anyone even cares, anyway, scene by scene:
I kinda hope that the galadriel crimson red scene is Galadriel literally seeing Sauron in Mt. Doom putting the One Ring on his finger; he should have it on him after all. I think the shot of his hands where it cuts away to Forodwaith is deliberate to show that while he is wearing the One Ring, it can't be perceived on his finger. But that's speculation.
The thing I really don't understand is how they will handle the forging of the rest of the Rings and whether Annatar is really supposed to be in Ost-in-Edhil in real time, AFTER they've already forged the 3 elven rings. Then again it'd also be really hard to have him be exclusively in the past, as they decided on rings, specifically, while he was there as Halbrand. It's gonna be tough to reconcile with the lore given that the other rings were supposed to be made first and were "practice rings" essentially. One way to reconcile this which would be...not satisfying but at least ok, I guess, would be that Celebrimbor was hiding information from everyone; that really they had already been long working on rings of power but didn't want to reveal it for fear of being shut down by Gil-galad, until they had sufficiently advanced rings (the Three) to show Gil-Galad.
Anyway without getting crazy long that's my scene by scene thoughts and theories. Thoughts? Stuff I got totally wrong?

- Black sludge: Sauron post-killing by Adar; "reforming" himself in Lindon and infecting the region, causing decay and starting the panic of the elves
- Group scene with Galadriel (hair up), Elrond, and some other elves, seems to me more likely a flashback scene than a present-time scene. Unclear what this would be though.
- Scene with the Mystics performing some ritual. Hands are slashed, some gold flakes flying around. Completely unclear what's going on.
- Tree roots in Lindon sneaking around. Sauron's influence in Lindon.
- Sauron (Annatar) revealing himself initially to Celebrimbor. Flashback scene...?
- Annatar walking right into Celebrimbor's forge while the city is falling
- Miriel getting eaten by the Wurm/Wyrm/Whatever. Probably the civil war between the Faithful and the King's Men.
- Durin (elder) buried under rocks. Next scene is giant rock falling on a bridge in Khazad-Dum and mostly destroying it. NOT the balrog landing on the bridge like I initially thought.
- Elendil screaming in a crowd, probably trying to stop Miriel from being executed if I had to guess.
- Galadriel screaming in a red scene; The scenery doesn't quite fit but my initial thought was this was her noticing Sauron in Mt. Doom (vision); but that's probably wrong, honestly.
- Orc licking his blade. Very nice.
- Ost-in-Edhil prior to siege, looks real nice...shame...
- Shot of Gil-galad, Galadriel, and (Celebrimbor?) wearing the 3, Gil-Galad has 3 additional rings on too.
- Shot of the tree in Lindon blooming with life
- Shot of Durin (Elder) holding a Ring with a GIANT blue gemstone
- Arondir tries spinning (I hear it's a good trick) with Isildur very confused in the background
- Ar-Pharazon flies into the capitol on an Eagle and draws his sword. Yo, What?
- Theo crying
- Isildur looking up ominously
- Big ol' flaming boys flying into Ost-in-Edhil
- Adar screaming
- Stranger slams the ground in some desert with some...monument thing in the background
- Two oddly harfoot-looking creatures are being nearly blown away by a desert storm
- Galadriel (hair down) fires flaming arrows in a forest
- Orcs blown up
- Elrond in armor leading a cavalry charge
- Celebrimbor looking very banged up trying to incinerate a bunch of rings in his forge
- Annatar standing in a destroyed forge with a squad of elves drawing their weapons, flips his hands out presumably blasting them away or something
- cutaway to a scene in Forodwaith where we see a giant explosion turning everything to ice (probably, flashback of Adar killing Sauron). In the scene you can just make out one figure hovering over another figure on its knees, at the center of the explosion => Adar cutting down Sauron?

 | Image by Hotpot.ai submitted by Hotpot-creations to HotpotAI [link] [comments] Frostbite Story and image by Hotpot AI The small town of Silver City, nestled in a valley near the snowy Burro Mountain range of New Mexico, was known for its peaceful and idyllic surroundings. But for Grant County homicide detective Sergeant Sarah Tilson, it was anything but peaceful. She had been called in to investigate a series of unexplained deaths that had been occurring in the town over the past few weeks. As Sarah walked through the snow-covered streets, she couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had settled in her stomach. The deaths seemed to be connected, but there was no apparent cause of death. The victims were all healthy adults, with no history of illness or trauma. It was as if they had simply dropped dead. Sarah's investigation led her to the local Native American reservation, where she met with the tribal elder, Chief Running Bear. He told her a chilling tale of an ancient legend that had been passed down through generations. The legend spoke of a powerful spirit, known as the Wendigo, that roamed the mountains and preyed on unsuspecting victims. At first, Sarah dismissed the legend as just a myth, but as she delved deeper into her investigation, she couldn't ignore the eerie coincidences. The victims had all been found with strange markings on their bodies, resembling the claw marks of a large animal. And each victim had been found in a state of extreme fear, as if they had seen something terrifying before they died. Sarah's mind raced with the possibilities. Could there really be a mythical creature lurking in the mountains, preying on the people of Silver City? She couldn't shake off the feeling that there was more to this case than meets the eye. As she continued her investigation, Sarah found herself becoming more and more obsessed with the legend of the Wendigo. She spent countless hours researching and studying Native American folklore, determined to find a connection to the deaths in Silver City. But the more she dug, the more she realized that the legend might not be just a myth after all. She uncovered reports of similar deaths in other small towns, all with the same markings and signs of extreme fear. And in each case, there were whispers of the Wendigo being responsible. Sarah's mind was consumed with the legend, and she couldn't shake off the feeling that she was being watched. She started to see glimpses of a large, shadowy figure in the woods surrounding the town. And every time she got close to a breakthrough in her investigation, something would happen to derail her progress. But Sarah was determined to uncover the truth, no matter how terrifying it may be. She enlisted the help of a local historian, who revealed that the legend of the Wendigo was not just a story, but a warning. The Native Americans believed that the spirit was a manifestation of greed and gluttony, and those who fell victim to it were consumed by their own desires. As Sarah pieced together the clues, she realized that the victims in Silver City were all connected in some way. They were all members of a secret society, known for their lavish parties and extravagant lifestyles. And as she delved deeper, she discovered that they were all involved in a land development project that would destroy the sacred land of the Native Americans. It all started to make sense. The Wendigo was not just a mythical creature, but a symbol of the consequences of greed and destruction. And it seemed that the spirit was seeking revenge on those who had disrespected the land and its people. Sarah knew that she had to act fast before more lives were lost. She gathered all the evidence she had collected and presented it to the town council, urging them to stop the land development project. But they refused to listen, dismissing her claims as mere superstition. Determined to stop the Wendigo, Sarah took matters into her own hands. She ventured into the mountains, following the clues that had led her to the truth. And there, in a secluded cave, she came face to face with the creature itself. But as she stood before the Wendigo, Sarah realized that it was not a monster, but a representation of the darkness within us all. And in a moment of clarity, she understood that the only way to defeat the Wendigo was to let go of her own desires and greed. With a heavy heart, Sarah made the ultimate sacrifice, and the Wendigo disappeared into the night. The deaths in Silver City City stopped, and the town was once again at peace. But Sarah knew that the legend of the Wendigo would live on, a reminder of the consequences of our actions and the power of ancient myths. As she returned to her normal life, Sarah couldn't help but wonder if the Wendigo was truly gone, or if it was just waiting for the next opportunity to strike. And she couldn't shake off the feeling that she had become a part of the legend herself. |
2024.05.15 08:19 Spiritual-Cube Could I get a house donated?
I'm in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA and I have little in the way of real estate or property knowledge. (I'm an electrical engineer, so I can make rocks go "bleep" but that's the relavent extent.)
The house next door has been vacant for ±5 years. It has a legal owner who maintains the property to minimum specifications (mowing the lawn, paying utilities, etc) and appears to be in good standing with city, county, and state. There's no HOA.
Could I form a non-profit and convince the owner to donate the property to the non-profit for some sort of tax break on their part?
I hate to see this cute little house just sit there with no one living in it year after year. It seems that the owner wants to do just that.
There are no safety issues, code violations, liens, or loan defaults I'm aware of (besides last summer when City of Tulsa put a notice on the garage door about high grass).
Is there a way? If not, it's fine -- the owner does indeed take care of the property. Maybe they are saving it for family members or something.

2024.05.15 08:11 Pristine-Matter9368 I can't find a doctor (medi-cal: anthem Blue cross)
Hello guys. Please help me. I had a couple questions.
I just missed the income cut off and no longer have my silver 94 PPO. I had this for many years.
Initially they switched me to straight Medi-Cal. My primary care doctor accepted this. I was happy with this as a lot of doctors take this. I talked to the county worker and he said I can keep straight medi-cal.
One day I got a letter in the mail saying I have been switched to Athem Blue Cross And they sent me a card. I called the county And they said that I could not keep straight medi-cal and I had to choose a plan and by default this is where they put me.
My problem:
I cannot find a primary care doctor. I called Anthem to ask for a list of primary care doctors in my area. When I look up the doctors in the list I'm given...either they are no longer practicing in the area... Or when I call them they say they don't take Medi-Cal/anthem.
I want a primary care doctor but I don't know what to do.
Please help me. Thank you.

I read online and here on Reddit that the different Medi-Cal plans are essentially the same. Is this true?2 Should I switch my plan? What should I switch it to?
My other insurance options are Kaiser, Health Net, Molina.I want a primary care doctor but I don't know what to do.

 | Fluvoxamine DosageFluvoxamine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) commonly prescribed to treat various mental health conditions, particularly obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and major depressive disorder (MDD). It is also sometimes used to manage anxiety disorders, including social anxiety disorder and panic disorder. The appropriate dosage of fluvoxamine can vary significantly based on the condition being treated, the patient's age, and their individual response to the medication.Key Considerations for Fluvoxamine Dosage Initial Dosage: Adults: For treating OCD, the typical starting dose for adults is 50 mg once daily at bedtime. For depression, the starting dose may range from 50 to 100 mg per day, taken either in a single dose or divided into two doses. Children and Adolescents: For younger patients with OCD, the initial dose usually starts lower, at around 25 mg daily, and is gradually increased to minimize side effects. Maintenance Dosage

While fluvoxamine is generally well-tolerated, it can cause side effects, especially when starting the medication or adjusting the dose. Common side effects include nausea, headache, dizziness, insomnia, and dry mouth. More severe side effects, such as serotonin syndrome, can occur, particularly when fluvoxamine is combined with other serotonergic drugs. Therefore, close monitoring by a healthcare provider is essential. Conclusion Determining the correct dosage of fluvoxamine is a nuanced process that should be tailored to each individual's needs and medical condition. Regular consultations with a healthcare provider are crucial to ensure the medication is effective and to adjust the dosage as necessary.
