Generally I don't have people in remembered dreams.
And even the ones with people, they are "movie extras"
I have dreams where I'm flying a Cessna 150 or Piper Cub down the street, a few feet above cars, barely between cars and powerlines, but I don't notice people.
A dream where I fly by force of will through my high school, but if there are people, they are vague obstacles to be avoided. One was so vivid that I had to try it the next morning. Didn't work.
One where a faceless person dragged me under a wide doorway while 40 foot chunks of yellow painted 5/8" steel rod fell from a distant ceiling. Later there were large payloaders scooping up rubble, includeing rods with impaled but still screaming and crying victims into big dump trucks.
One where I am trying to stop a flood of finger paint in red, yellow and white (white finger paint? Why?) It moves slowly knocking down trees like lava. No people.
The one exception is the one where I am facing my mom who is about to slam me into a door. I see this from two points of view at the same time: From young me looking at her from about 2 feet, and older me, standing a couple feet behind and to the right of my mom. He/I know what is about to happen. She will setp back on her right foot, raise her arms, half bent, push forward. The heels of her thumbs will rest in the hollows on the front of my shoulders, and she will push HARD, younger me's head snaps forward, his/my shoulderblades hit, then our head, We see stars and we feel the breath knocked out of us. We slump to the floor. All this without a sound.
This sequence doesn't happen in the dream. It's all what He/I know is about to happen. And we know we have to keep silent. If we make a noise we get extra helpings.

first off, why are they just starting to ask for this money 4 years after I sold the car
looks like DMV lost my release of liability that I dropped off back in 2020
they intercepted my state return and now say I still owe 377 and I have 30 days to pay or they would garnish my paychecks
I called and told them that the vehicle was sold to a junk yard aka recycling and that I had dropped off the release of liability right after it got thrown in the compactor
they instructed me to re-do the release online and I should get my money back
its been 1 week (since you looked at me, lol) and I only had 1 missed call from them and I cant get a hold of them
even if I call as soon as they open up, I get a message saying they are all busy and ill get a call on the next business day
any idea on what I can do or another number where I can actually talk to a human?

Hello everyone, I'll start off by saying I live in Canada. I am a 26M and I've recently started my own business about a year and a half ago selling collectibles and merchandise online. During my time I've sold quite abit of product and all was well until 2 months ago when I had a few large orders come through from various customers. Contacted the customers after they placed their order as usual and let them know shipping times, order totals, etc.
They recieved their orders and all was good until a month later, I got several chargebacks from all the customers who had placed these large orders. The total amounting to nearly 20k. Their banks have all came to the conclusion that the customer was in the right and I was in the wrong.
I've just recently put the 20k onto my 30k credit line but now I'm just looking at this amount and stumped that I'll have to pay such an insane amount that I haven't accrued and now I'm lost on all this product as well.
Its hard to try and fit all this within my budget as I have a child, a car payment, insurance and rent to pay. It's truly overwhelming.
If anyone has any tips or advise, that would be greatly appreciated.

Engaged 8 years- with him for 10 years this August. Long story short - it’s not good. Hasnt been for over 7 years tbh. I know ya’ll know what that means basically. We are both 49. Both never been married before our engagement 8 years ago. No kids. I am downright trauma bonded I finally see for the last 8 yrs tho. Sure there’s polite talk, literally that’s all it is. Polite talk until I “freak out and get emotional” by asking if we can have a date night or take a walk together. Because he is sooooo far away from me today and all I’ve been doing is questioning myself, trying to be prettier, trying to cook more, trying to not show hurt feelings when he’s dismissive or worholding….. It’s apparent to anyone in the room and I’ve had feedback from concerned friends over the years. Basically my friends arent fans - haven’t been for years.
Ok sorry- usual daily- he comes home from work. Says hi. I say hi. He shows enormous amounts of love to the dog then goes to his computer to social media surf. I make dinner he eats it and goes to bed. Thats our interaction every day unless I’m working. I’m an semi successful artist. (I pay my own bills, rent and run my own art studio, make enough to survive as I try to grow but def couldn’t do it without a supportive partner. Which he was supportive in our 2 year together. He knew I owned my own townhouse then, and bartended twice a week to make whatever ends my art didn’t meet at the time. I was pretty well known in our little downtown from bartending and having my art in neighboring restaurant in the community. We reconnected through fb messenger- he tagged me in a lot of bartending themed posts- we dated and a year later he sold his condo and moved into my townhouse. I was ready for my life long partner. After a year of co living, he proposed - we made plans to get a larger home together so I sold my townhouse, put 15k downpayment on it because I had the recent liquid cash and he didn’t- he just had the good salaried job to get approved for financing. fast forward to today- I am on the deed not on the mortgage. I pay cash to my “fiancè” every month to contribute this house we own together. After a year of giving him straight cash every month at his request, I asked if he would just give me some or all utilities so my name would be back out in the credit space. And he said no. I asked if we could get a joint account so I could put that monthly cash money in a “house” account where we would both contribute and pay house stuff from that. He said “sure, but not right this second”. That was always his answer to me - “Not right this second”. Basically I went from having my own place, utilities, mortgage, credit, etc and being madly in love with this guy (who I’ve known since highschool but we never dated, just always shared mutual crossovers/crossed paths a lot since 1995) to living in a house that only had my name on the deed. I worried I was a ghost in the credit space. Like the only thing he allowed me to put my name on was the trash pickup service. (He said he’d rather not get trash service and use his jobs trashbin… like wtf?). But said of if I wanted to get trash service then I could pay for that. Ahhh usual me- not a short story and I’m rambling. I’ve also had drinks. Just trying to give context. Ok- We never go out together. He goes to his BF music studio most weekends and stays til 3-4am. We haven’t had sex in over two years. I sleep in the guest room for the same amount of time. (I went there one night after a fight because he said he was tired of being my crutch and I need to contribute more financially and it literally came after him being silent/bad mood for a week and I would ask “Hey, did you have a bad day at work? What’s wrong how can I help?” He doesn’t talk to me about “feelings”. Anytime I ask to sit down and talk about how to fix whatever is wrong his response is ALWAYS and defensive curtness “I don’t want to talk about it”. So we just had one of these outbursts. Where I say “hey, what’s going on. Why are you being so curt with me? Talk to me” and he said “ya know what’s wrong with me? You owe my $1100 because you haven’t paid xyz and it stems back to August. “ I was floored because it’s just not true. But I give him cash and I guess that’s where I fucked up. Sometimes I get paid in cash for my paintings and when I do, I put it aside and give him that cash when it comes due every month. Anyway it blew up to me crying being confused and asking him why he didn’t say anything in August or September why is he bringing it up now. Why is he talking to me like a dog and to please stop and just talk to me about why he’s so damn angry. It ended up with him telling me he’s tired of being my crutch and we haven’t been “good for 5 years” and he wants to sell the house, get his money and live the life that he wants. And I pointed out that all I’ve been doing is trying to fight for us, trying to get us to be together and be number one for one another. And why if he knew all this and yet was still unsatisfied with me why he has kept me around for so long without communicating his displeasure with me. And he said - “Because you won’t leave”. It ended with me saying we can get a mediator or lawyer and figure out the easiest way to sell, split whatever we agree on and move on. Ot all just hit me that I need to let him sell this house and I will figure it out. This all happened Saturday. Jesus this sucks. Anyway- it blew up to where I said I’m done. I felt done. He clapped. I went to my room and have basically been avoiding being in the house when he’s here and just going to my studio until he goes to bed. Thing is he took off work today. Dont know why. So when I got up and saw his car out front, I went to the studio all day and worked late on purpose. Came home at 10:30pm- he usually goes to bed around 9:30 but was still in living room watching tv. I walked in and went to the kitchen and he instantly said “I’m going to bed you can have the tv” and I didn’t respond. He went to bed. I was getting iced tea out of the fridge when after standing there for a min- I smelled gas. I look over to the stove and the knob is turned slightly to the left as if you were about to ignite it. I instinctively turned it back to the off position but then kinda freaked out a bit. Like why does it smell like gas. And why was that knob turned. Literally the gas was seeping ever so slightly out enough for me to smell it after about 30sec drinking my tea. Am I just being paranoid? There is no evidence of cooking - I even checked the trash for leftover or scrapings of food. This took me forever to write. But I just felt I had to document this without freaking out my mom or my friends.

This post might be a little jumbled, but I do need to get this off my chest. Finding closure in my dad's passing from many years ago.
It all happened so fast, and I never had time to prepare. I was at home playing video games many summers ago, and my mom went to visit him at the hospital. My mom was taking a long time for some reason. I started getting a little suspicious that something was off, but I shrugged it off. Turns out my first instinct was right.
Then when she came home at night, she called me into the living room and told me he was gone. That's it. No preparation, nothing. It left me in shock, and it's the kind of moment that sticks with you forever. How do you even prepare for something so sudden? You don't.
And then a week later at the funeral, the person in the casket didn't even look like my dad AT ALL. He looked like a haunting ghost mannequin mockery of sorts. Why did I have to take a look? I never wanted my last memory of him to be...THAT. Just awful. Even my mom agreed that it didn't look like him in the slightest bit and that it might as well have been a different person.
Everyone's experience is different, but I'm sure there are some people who can relate to their loved one in the casket looking nothing they were when they were alive. It's like I had the news of dad's death dumped on me like a pack of bowling balls, and then just being thrown into looking at his body with zero preparation at all.
I've recently requested an online death certificate, so that I can get the address of the cemetery where he was buried. It's been a while since he passed, so I don't remember where exactly (though I still have a vague idea). And aside from the initial burial, I've never been to his grave before since for the longest time I didn't have a car until recently.
But I seriously realize that I've never gotten closure and now is a good time. Just visiting his grave, leaving flowers and maybe having a so called "talk" with him. Talking with my therapist has really made me realize that I've never gotten the closure I needed, and that this is a good step in the right direction.

I've got a 98 civic that needs some new paint in a bad way. I've already scoped out Maaco as an option but I feel like it would be cheaper and more enriching to do it myself at home. I already know how to go about setting up a mock booth, but otherwise, I'm unsure on what to do for equipment, suppliers and other things of the sort. Any advice?

Sorry in advance for the long post, I just wanted to make sure to give whatever context/details might be needed.
So I own a 2012 Volkswagen Golf. Got it back in late October, used, at just under 91k miles. (It's at about 95k miles now, so I don't drive a lot.) It was well taken care of, and the car shop I got it from was great! Nothing shady or anything.
I had a PPI. One of the things the mechanic mentioned was that while the car was idling, the engine shut off after about 30 minutes. But he restarted the car and it was fine, and I guess he just didn't think anything of it? Everything that he inspected tested out well, and he didn't put anything about that on the report.
(I will say it wasn't the most reliable report. He claimed there were bubbles in the tires; I didn't see any, but I took it to an auto shop, and they confirmed there were definitely no bubbles. They had reported the dome light not working when it was working fine, also. So a little strange, but it wasn't a huge issue overall.)
Fast forward to the first week of January. At a red light, the engine shut off by itself. I'd been driving around for 10 minutes or so at low speeds (downtown area trying to find parking). The battery light came on. I assume (based on what little I understand by researching online) it's because the engine was off when it wasn't supposed to be, so it couldn't charge the battery. I turned the car off, and then I turned it back on. No more battery light. This happened after about 40 minutes of the engine running.
Totally normal after that. There aren't any strange sounds coming from anywhere in the car while driving. Everything works great (except for one of the windows having an issue rolling up sometimes, but I don't care much about that). I've driven in heavy traffic for an hour with no issues, more than once.
The tires were old (from 2015 I believe?), so the auto shop that had inspected the tires after my purchase did mention to bring the car back after winter and maybe check on the tires then.
So last week, I took it in. Got the oil changed and new tires, and they said they do a quick visual inspection while changing the oil. They mentioned that they tested the battery too, and it was good. I had told them I had a road trip coming up, so I definitely wanted to know if anything else needed to be done. I mentioned what happened back in January, and they said it was definitely unusual, but I should just keep an eye on it.
And today, the engine shut-off thing happened again. This time on the highway, BUT in heavy traffic, so the car was moving slowly again. In this case, I'd been on the road for a little over 10 minutes. I admittedly only noticed because the car wasn't accelerating, then I realized the battery light was on and the engine must have shut off again. Pulled onto the shoulder and again, I turned the engine off and turned it back on, and everything was normal after that. The battery light turned back off.
I plan to call the auto shop in the morning, but I took it for a drive to run an errand, mostly to test things out again. It was about 30 minutes of driving round-trip, and I had no issues whatsoever. I kept it off the highway so the speeds were relatively lower. Everything's working smoothly.
Any ideas on what's happening? I've tried to do a bit of research, but I'm not sure why I can go for 4 months without issues. I feel like the fact it happens so infrequently makes it harder to figure out. But I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas here?
Thanks in advance!
TL;DR: Had a couple incidents where my car's engine shut off, causing the battery light to turn on, and after turning the car off and back on, the battery light was off and the car ran smoothly. Incidents were months apart. Always at low speeds or when not moving.

I'm in my early 30'sF and I'm scared of my own mom.
I just moved back in with my mom in September after moving out for roughly a year, I enjoyed it very much but couldn't afford the area on my own income and a cheaper alternative was moving back in with my mom. I am in the process of getting my savings back AGAIN(I had to repair my car and my cellphone and that ate all my savings).
I am planning a vacation for September, originally my mom and I were going out of state together but due to a family member possibly having her child sooner she is hesitant now about going on the vacation with me, so I made back up plans. I was going to go out of state to visit an online friend of mine. She said 'no if you want to see him he has to come visit you, you've already flown out there twice it's his turn to visit you now'. The thing is we can do that however I can't be out late with him because I get the book thrown at me because she assumes XYZ happened(or will happen). It's insane, I'm an adult but I'm being treated like I'm a 16 year old child still! It's insane and I hate it! I enjoyed being by myself, my friend in Cali is offering to move out and live with him but he lives to far from the location that I'd be able to transfer to(and with the price of Cali gas it's not worth it).
I'm about to bite the bullet and buy the tickets but I think I'll wait till I get paid again, I haven't decided on a hotel yet as we haven't figured out exactly what we're doing quite yet once we get to that point then I can book my hotel(s).

I (20m) have been single 2 years, my last relationship ended because gf moved a few hours away and it couldn't work for us to be together, me and her didn't have alot in common anyways and it ended pretty mutual. Since then I've been with a few girls physically but nothing serious because I was to closed off and wasn't ready. I recently have been feeling an emptiness inside of me, that no matter what I did to better myself wouldn't fill, I've done hiking, camping, fishing, woodworking, painting, gardening, and some cases just focus on work but nothing fills the void. FYI I'm straight so trying to find a male other than female is off the table, I've tried online dating and trying to get to know other women more romantically, sadly they all see me as a friend, although I like having friends and love people, that's not my only goal. I've tried the online dating thing as well and it doesn't work for me, I've tried tinder, griner, bumble, and a bunch of others that still don't work. I could really use a bit of confidence and tips to get me out of a 2 year "rut".

Hello everyone.
So, after reading, and asking some people, I am still having so many doubts about what option is better to me for getting a permanent teaching license.
I am Spanish teacher in a Private School here. I have my Bachelor's Degree (not education) and some courses, but I have no Master's Degree. My plan is to stay in Thailand long-term as a teacher. My first teaching temporary license expires in 2025, and as far as I know, legally, I can only have other 2 waivers.
So, If I understood, technically, and according to today's law, if I do nothing, I can only teach here until 2029.
As I said my plan is to stay here long long term, so I am searching for options to have permanent teaching license. But I see it is a big headache.
-My first option is to get an US teaching license. I know people who took ETC Praxis test, passed it, got the US teaching certification and converted it into Thai Permanent teaching license. BUT, another people said that this is not possible... So I think thay way is not 100% secure. But is easy, fast, and around 400-600$
-The second option is to take the ST Teresa University Diploma in Education. According to the testimonies, this way is almost 100% guaranteed to get the permanent license. BUT, the cost is around 2000$, is 1year and a half and, on the top of that, the university is so so far away. Is almost impossible to reach the place if you do not have a car, and taxis are around 1600 go and back...
-The third option is to take a Masters in Education from any Spanish University accredited in Thailand in this website: https://accreditation.ocsc.go.th/accreditation. For specific reasons, the cost is 0 for me and I can do it online 100%. BUT, I am not sure this option allows you to get the license, because I know about people whose Masters in Education from other countries were rejected.
So... I am not sure what to do. Of course, do a Master in Education from Spain is a pretty good option to get an official M. Ed, but I am not sure if I could use for getting the license.
I think the US license is another good option, but, if I cannot convert it into thai teaching license, will be a ""waste"" of money and time.
And the ST Teresa's Diploma, to be honest, I think is a madness. If the place would be in Bangkok that's okay, but wow, if I have to go always, every saturday, throughout more than 1 year, and normally take a taxi... I think I am going to blow a fuse thinking about the time and the money that I spend only to be able to teach in Thailand.
Said that, can you give me a little bit of information or personal experiences about this? Can you help me a little bit? The good point is that I have enough time... But I do not want to waste money and time for nothing. It is an important decision.
Thanks.

Disclaimer: Not all Norwegian people are like that. These are just my observations & experiences & perhaps other people might disagree with me and that’s ok.

1. There is no individuality in this country. Everyone talks, dresses, thinks, acts the same way. Their houses all look the same. They use the same phones, they drive the same cars. I’d say that everyone even wants the same things, has the same goals. They don’t have any unique family traditions. You’ll see a trampoline in every single house garden. People expect you to conform to their Norwegian ways and if you don’t you’re branded as a weirdo and freak of nature. People have the same hobbies.
   
2. Norwegians are the worst gossipers I’ve met in my entire life. It’s actually quite funny because they are seen as these calm, peaceful, introverted people but they talk shit about everything and everyone behind their backs while pretending to like them at the same time. When they get caught and get confronted about their judgmental & two faced behaviour they constantly use words like “ I didn’t mean it like that”, “ it’s just an expression in Norwegian” ( when it really isn’t), “ I wasn’t judging I was just making conversation”, etc. When you get past through this bs & successfully call them out they will say that in Norway it’s normal to gossip.
   
3. Family life is horrible and exhausting. The in-laws are up in your ass*s all the time and it’s even worse if you are a woman married to a Norwegian man. Prepare yourself for unsolicited advice and judging your ways of parenting and living because you simply aren’t Norwegian. If you don’t behave a certain way especially for Norwegian families, it creates too much drama. They keep meeting up all the time, like good families, but most of the time they just sit there talking about the same things over and over again, old gossip or just silence.
   
4. They are passive aggressive and that stems from the fact they are incapable of showing their true feelings or expressing their actual thoughts. They hate confrontation. This creates dishonesty and just bad situations overall. When you call them out on their rudeness and condescending attitude they get so defensive and start pulling out words & sentences like “you have misunderstood me” “, “I didn’t mean it in a rude way” “I was just giving you advice”, “I was just being kind”, “oh it’s because I don’t speak English very well you don’t understand me” when in fact 99,9% of the population here speaks English very well. And when you try to explain to them that you haven’t in fact misunderstood them you’re painted out as this horrible person who is accusing them of things “they didn’t mean”.
   
5. People will show you they speak English and then proceed to only speak in Norwegian, ignore you and just speak to your partnefriend/ whoever you have next to you who speaks Norwegian even when the conversation regards you too and it’s important to you. Which brings me to my next point.
   
6. Everyone speaks English, but you will never fit in here, if you don’t speak Norwegian. Groups never try to accommodate you by having everyone speak English, because they don’t really want to. They want to speak Norwegian. That’s okay that they like speaking their own language in their own country, it’s their right 100%, but first of all I find it extremely rude if it’s a person who is just visiting the country and just sits there in a group of people feeling excluded because nobody puts the effort to speak English. Secondly even for a person who lives in Norway and is the transitioning position of learning the language it is still rude because they still might not understand a lot of Norwegian. They also do something really horrible, you might speak English with them and when they want to say something they don’t want you to know they switch to Norwegian in front of you. It’s always funny when you know the meaning of what they just said and you translate for them and they end up feeling embarrassed.
   
7. Norwegians truly believe their way of doing things is superior to other people’s ways. If you disagree with them they will make sure they get their way. They believe they are entitled to be the advisor on a situation as if they are the holder of wisdom, knowledge, experience, they never listen, especially to outside perspectives because they are so conforming and used to their own ways. Anything else just shocks them.
   
8. They think they will die in the heat. They actually think hot weather is dangerous. My MIL thinks it’s dangerous for our child to be in the Mediterranean during the summer. They keep blabbing all the time how cold the weather in Norway is and are for some strange reason proud of it in a way (maybe because they think it looks “cool” that they can endure cold weather?) but once they must be in a hot country they are scared of it and talk about it aaaaall the time.
   
9. They throw and waste so much food.
   
10. The drinking problem is obvious to everyone.
    
11. They are extremely stingy to the point it’s a bit sad. Even inside their own families they Vipps each other for simple things such as being dropped off somewhere with the car or buying a bottle of water. I’ve never seen this before in my life anywhere.
    
12. They pride themselves for being introverted, cold, unfriendly and not talking to strangers and I never understood why they think it’s something to be proud of.
    
13. Good luck finding friends here. They only stick to people they’ve known since primary school times, they have already created their own social bubbles and you’re not welcome in them because you don’t go way back. This is a problem even Norwegians themselves face.
    
14. On the positive side of things Norwegians will return things they don’t belong to them, they will make sure to at least find the owner of a lost item they’ve found, they are good at keeping the crime rate as low as possible and a safe society for everyone.
    
15. One might say they are nationalistic and that it’s bad but it’s actually interesting and nice to see them celebrating 17th of May, wearing their traditional clothes, being happy and enjoying themselves.
    
16. They like to be close with nature and are very active people. I would not say that their diet or food they eat is particularly healthy but they like to keep in shape and do outdoor activities a lot.
    
17. There is high social mobility.
    

So partner and I just put a (refundable) down payment on a Sienna XSE today after about a month of searching and stumbling into one that was ghosted at a dealership an hour away.
Honestly, the MSRP was spot-on (49k with a pre-installed plus package), but we had some hesitations on how the dealer handled add-ons. The buyer who abandoned it had "bought" a ceramic paint coating, undercarriage rust protection, and some additional Polyurethane nonsense that ended up adding an additional $5k to the car's total, meaning we were looking at close to $55k before taxes.
I was able to get them to "realize" one of the coatings hadn't been put on (since the car itself had pollen on it and they would've cleaned it first), which knocked $1.4k off, but should I be concerned? I'm still essentially paying a $3k up-charge on the XSE for nonsense.
Some context is I haven't bought a new car in a long time and I'm not privy to some of the latest nonsense dealerships get up to nowadays. I just want to make sure that we're not getting taken for a ride...

So i have a $200 ticket i got to pay coming up, a $300 car payment to make & a gender reveal for my little one on the way which i have help with that and i’m just getting cheap stuff to and hopefully i get approved for food stamps by then i have a job interview Friday but if i don’t get this job then i have another offer for another place but i cant start it until June 17th which my ticket comes out before then and my car payment does also i’m also hoping the father of my child will start his job soon also (before anyone asks we are together). I’ve been trying to do this Yotta app to make money even been using tester-up and even been trying to sell my feet pictures online but i’m getting no where. What can i do? Can anyone give me any advice i’m not trying to stress myself but all this is getting stressful.

For context I live about 2000 miles away from my family with my fiancé who is in the military and is supposed to deploy at any point in the next month or so which is just so great because I also don’t know when he’s coming back. We’re getting married in October and trying to plan that around his delayed deployment is extremely stressful. I am a full time undergrad online student and just added a minor while I’m starting my honors thesis research project in which I’m conducting my own study this fall. I work full time in a special ed classroom and while I love kids and love working with special needs kids and have a couple years of experience, I hate the classroom I’m in. There are 11 kids in it who are constantly, and I mean constantly, having behaviors. And I love behavioral analysis and all that, that’s what I’m studying, but these kids are so low that any behavior corrections do not work. And so I deal with kids pushing other kids, breaking their glasses, putting their hands in the toilet, eloping, dropping to the floor, everything you could possibly imagine. And the kids who do understand actively choose against making good choices. But schools are about to let out and I now have to find a new job for the summer which sucks. My fiancé was supposed to deploy about 2 months ago and didn’t so we’ve been sharing a car and while I love spending time with him more than anything, my only time alone now is my 30 minute break at lunch which I have to listen to my annoying ass fucking coworker yap the whole time in the teachers lounge. Also she is super frustrating too because I have to pick up a lot more slack because of her. But because I don’t have any alone time or time to reset after work (I usually would use my car ride home to listen to my music and reset) I've been taking my overly stressed, reactive work-self home to him and he told me today I have been mean to him a lot lately and I feel horrible about it because it's the last thing I want to do and he does not deserve any of that. On top of everything, we also found out that we are moving across the world at the end of the year so we now have to buy a new car, put a down payment on a place out there, buy a washer & dryer, and also move everything out there which includes our dog, who is also a massive pain in the ass as he is in his pterodactyl phase and constantly getting into anything he can. On top of all of those expenses (and the wedding), our roommate decided he is going to move out at the end of the lease instead of going month to month like we originally agreed on doing until we move, which means we have to find a place to live for 4 months. This means another down payment on an apartment when the studios around us don't go for under $2300. Great. So after he told us that, I decided that I could not attend my cousin's bach party in the summer in order to afford attending her wedding as a bridesmaid in December (which is also 2000 miles away, during the most expensive week to travel, and about a week before we move across the world), and told her I cannot pay my portion of the air bnb but that should be fine because its still 2.5 months out, and she could find someone to go in my place, find a different house, or ask everyone else to pay my portion which would come out to $30/person, which sucks, but I cannot spend $1500 on someones bach (flying, activities, airbnb, grocery, dogcare, parking my car, etc.) during this year of all years. I know I am kind of the asshole for canceling so close, but I can't control all of the unexpected finances I had come up this year. This understandably upset her, and she basically gave me the ultimatum of if I don't pay my portion for the airbnb she is gonna kick me from the bridal party. So that's fantastic truly. And on top of that, my parents are coming out to see me in a couple weeks, and this will be the last time I see my dad before he goes into a surgery that is extremely risky and if does not go well will leave him blind, and I am currently no contact with my deadbeat addict mom as she blocked me on social media for a reason unbeknownst to me. So I am fucking tired. I am stressed. I am burnt out. I am overwhelmed. I am frustrated. And I don't know what to do with any of those feelings because they are truly all "time will fix it" issues. I go to the gym, I eat well, and I prioritize sleep. But I am just stuck in this fucking limbo and I am treating my fiance like shit and I am performing so reactively at work and I feel horrible about that. Ugh. I am hoping this vent will help me get everything off my chest so I can be and feel better. If you read this far, thank you and I appreciate you.

I'm currently crafting a pair of ridged horns using EVA foam, which, unfortunately, came with a slight texture. Although I've successfully shaped the horns, my next step was to use foam clay to fill in the gaps and smooth out the entire surface before painting. However, foam clay is hard to find in New Zealand and is currently sold out online. I need to try to finish this project by the weekend and am seeking alternatives for filling large, deep areas. While Worbla is available, it's expensive and likely won't arrive in time.
I'd appreciate any suggestions or recommendations! Please note that sanding isn't a viable option due to issues with the foams density, and I'd prefer to explore all other possibilities before considering starting over, as this is my first project.
tl;dr: I need a substitute for foam clay to smooth and fill gaps in an EVA foam project due to online unavailability.

I bought an old 14 ft flat bottom that I am fixing up for this upcoming duck season. I’m painting the boat this weekend and was wanting to get the new paint and bottom coat done altogether. Everything online is going to be at least 10 day delivery at least. So instead I’m looking for a store bought alternative to Gator Glide/Super Slick. Something to help smooth out the bottom to decrease drag and avoid getting stuck in the mud.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
