So I’m mid age 45, and I’m at that age where you kind of look at where you are in life and where you’re going and think you should be.
At 45 I haven’t really achieved very much, still rent, never traveled, just live paycheque to paycheque, no savings, no real pension and earn min wage. Pretty crap really for this stage in life.
I am a cabinet maker, but the rise of places like Ikea and other big flatback furniture stores has lead to a decline in small manufacturers, this has resulted in me being made redundant 4 times already, I read the average is 3 in a lifetime, I’ve already hit 4, and each time it happens and you start again with a new employer it’s not a case of just slotting in where you left off with your previous employer no it’s back to square 1 again, back to min wage and work your way up again.
So do you think my lack of achievement is understandable in the circumstances or should I be further along in life?

I have Hashimoto's disease and hypothyroidism. I haven't felt like myself for the last year. At first I thought I just had a lot going on in my life but after 5 months nothing had gotten better. I was so extremely exhausted and became antisocial (when at 1 time I was a social butterfly). I lost a lot of my hair. I didn't know how to describe in a way other could understand and how I truly didn't feel like myself and that I'm just existing. I don't believe I'm depressed because I'm not sad. I was first diagnosed with hypothyroidism by my general doctor about 6 months ago. Then on prescription vitamin D (to take once a week) and synthroid levothyroxine; since then I have gained a significant amount of weight. I finally got in to the endocrinologist... found out along with hypothyroidism and hashimoto's that I'm insulin resistant. They also tested me for cushings. So not I'm on b12, vitamin d, metformin, and synthroid 75mcg. I have lost 5 pounds in a month. I don't have my next appointment for another month or 2. What can I do to feel like myself again and stop this brain fog? Have any of you experienced something similar? Did metformin help you lose weight, and what else can I do to lose weight? Are these things genetic?! I was recently telling my friend about all of this information and she mentioned PCOS and it is some thing that I have read about, but I’m not sure if my symptoms put me as a candidate… any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!

We often sacrifice much for those we cherish showing them how much we care but sometimes they disappoint Us by exploiting our kindness for their own gain. They might seem friendly when they need something but once they've gotten what they wanted they vanish like a bird in flight so how can we regain control of such situations.
Today we delve into nine crucial aspects of interaction between men and women drawing inspiration from the stoic philosophy that has withstood the test of time. By avoiding these nine actions we can swiftly notice positive changes in our relationships empowering ourselves in the process so if you are experiencing difficulties in your relationship take a seat open your minds and let's embark on this enlightening journey together.

Number 1 - Don't reshape your life to fit others

Imagine trying to build a puzzle with pieces that just don't fit together causing frustration and confusion at every turn that's what it feels like when you try to conform to others expectations, it's like Seneca said everywhere means nowhere, trying to do too much at once leaves you feeling lost and unsure of where you're headed instead of trying to blend in like a chameleon, it's time to stand out like a shining star in the night sky. Be proud of who you are and the things that make you different, don't let others dictate how you should live your life it's time to take control and walk your own path.
Remember your life is your own story to write not someone else's so let your true colors shine and paint the world with your authenticity and purpose.

Number 2 - Don't ruin your life by being too obsessed with someone

Don't let your life revolve solely around others like a satellite stuck in orbit. When you focus too much on someone else it's easy to lose sight of your own dream and what makes you special instead of nurturing your own goals and aspirations you find yourself constantly catering to their needs and desires neglecting your own thirst for fulfilment as the wise Marcus Aelius once said, nowhere can a man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.
When you become too entangled in someone else's world it disrupts your balance casting you into the shadows and stripping away your sense of worth. Break free from their hold and stop being a mere satellite to their planet, your life isn't a supporting act in someone else's story.
You're the lead role the star of your own Journey, always remember that and never let anyone dim your brilliance.

Number 3 - Don't let anything harm your mental health or happiness

Prioritizing someone else's happiness over your own mental well-being is like giving away your flashlight in the dark leaving yourself stumbling and lost. When you neglect your own health to cater to someone else's needs you're essentially surrendering control of your own happiness instead of finding fulfilment, you end up in a cycle of trying to please them while your own spirit's plummet.
It's crucial to take a step back and reclaim ownership of your life. Your mental health and happiness are invaluable assets that shouldn't be compromised or traded away rather than playing a supporting role in someone else's narrative seize the spotlight and become the protagonist of your own story. Protect your inner peace and joy with unwavering determination strengthen your resilience and refuse to let anyone steal your happiness, your mind belongs to you alone and you have the power to shape your own destiny.

Number 4 - Don't push friends or family away for someone else

Don't keep your distance from your friends and family just because you're really into someone else, it's kind of like cutting off branches from the tree that's holding you up each friend and family member is like a branch that's always been there to help you, if you start pushing them away it's not just about losing friends, you're also weakening the support system that's been there for you.
Plato once said people are like dirt, they can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die.
When you isolate yourself from your loved ones just to seek approval from someone else you're picking a tough road, take the initiative to rekindle those significant relationships, nurture your support system your friends and family form an Irreplaceable Network serving as your bedrock and source of strength. Embrace the steadfast companions who have stood by you through thick and thin.

Number 5 - Don't invest too much time in them

Don't pour all your precious time into someone else's bottomless well of need, it's like tossing your most valuable asset into into a dark abyss. Each moment you devoted excessively to them is a moment of your life slipping away forever.
Time is your greatest treasure not a bargaining chip in someone else's endless demands as Seneca wisely observed it is not that we have a short time to live but that we waste a lot of it by surrendering all your time to someone else you're forfeiting the most vibrant moments of your existence.
Reclaim your time it belongs to you alone not to anyone else. Don't allow them to overshadow your entire life, seek equilibrium invest your time thoughtfully cherish it and allocated to endeavors that ignite your passion foster growth and bring you fulfilment, remember you wield authority over your own time don't fritter it away on someone who may not value its significance.

Number 6 - Don't reveal everything about your past especially the tough times

Revealing your entire past to someone is like unfolding every hidden aspect and challenge you've encountered. Your past especially the difficult aspects is deeply personal.
It's the narrative of your own Journey that helped you navigate through tough times, it's not something to divulge for others to take pleasure in or pass judgment on. Discussing all your past Secrets means you're revisiting old challenges. Now You're vulnerable to potential harm or exploitation, keep your secrets securely held within yourself not everyone deserves access to them. Only disclose what is necessary while safeguarding the core elements of your narrative.
This is what fortifies you and ensures your protection, don't relinquish your defenses to someone else, exercise caution in choosing whom to confide in. Your life story belongs exclusively to you, it's not for others to casually revel in.

Tell me your most toxic trait, your deepest fear, your darkest thought, your greatest ambitions, something you’re deeply passionate about. Everyone seeks out a deep conversation but few have the ability to actually have one. I don't care about how boring you think you are, there is something deeply interesting in all of us— tell me about it.
About me: 28, south asian / white, born / live in the US. I like to read history/philosophy/psychology/everything, write, travel, gym, pseudo-analyze movies/shows, and gently form judgmental but harmless theories about people and the world. Happy to chat or voice call on discord as well.

Sorry for the English, I'm using Google Translate.
I'm looking for a story where Hinata leaves Konoha because she is pregnant with Itachi, her friends think she is dead, others think she is a deserter, but at some point in the plot they find her and take her back to Konoha, where she must explain why. He has a son and because the father is Itachi.
I remember reading it last year on Fanfiction, and it was around 50-60 chapters already. Anyway, it's a fanfic similar to "Last Link" by MsChifSantos.
Yes, I know it seems pathetic, but it had regular updates and I would like to read it again.
Thanks for your time

Greetings beachvolley!
Have you ever wondered about the concept of positional consistency in beach volleyball? Now, you might be thinking ‘Oh, that's just about being in the right place at the right time'. Yes, but with a little more detail. Let's stare right into the eye of this often overlooked aspect of our sport, and appreciate the chili sauce on top of the volleyball taco that it truly is.
Positional consistency - A Spicy Ingredient in the Taco of Success
Research suggests one of the highest predictors of beach volleyball success is a high level of positional consistency. It’s not as much about explosive power, killer serves or even the sharpest cut shots. The key that may turn those close losses into clutch victories is consistently being in the optimal position - not just for digs, spikes or sets - but for player-to-ball and player-to-player interactions.
So, what's the secret? Here's what you can practice:

• Player-to-ball positioning: Always strive to be in optimal position respective to the ball. This means being in a balanced, neutral position to react quickly, regardless of where the ball is hit.
  
• Player-to-player positioning: This refers to being in an optimal position respective to your teammate and opponents. You should position yourself such that you're reducing your opponents' angle of attack while also covering as much ground as possible to react to unexpected returns.
  
• Small and Swift Movements: Avoid large scale adjustments mid-play. Instead, rely on quick and small movements that keep you agile and steady. This balance stems from core stability, so don't neglect those core workouts!
  
• Visual Focus: Keep your eyes on the ball and your opponents - the earlier you pick up cues about where the ball is going, the better your chances of positioning yourself effectively.
  

But, like any good meal, the ingredients alone won't create the dish. You have to properly cook it:

• Countless drills: There are no shortcuts here. The secret of the best players is hidden in their relentless drilling of positioning fundamentals - doing it even when the push for more flashy skills might be tempting.
  
• Game-pace situations: Drills are crucial, but so is practice in real, game-pace situations. Try to find a practice partner willing to hit rounds of shots at you, so you can refine those positional instincts.
  

The next time you're on the sand, remember, like a seasoned beach warrior, that a little bump, set and spike contribute to the victory, but it's the shadow dance - the unseen positional consistency – that can take your game and turn it into a fine-tuned scoring machine. You've got this, beach volley marvel! Dive into this aspect and you might find your game rising like a well-set ball against the sun-dipped horizon of victory. Game on!

It would seem that the foreign exchange market is complicated to the uninitiated. Still, its lure is so appealing as there are numerous advertisements and email marketing campaigns promoting foreign exchange trading as a very lucrative business where you can make millions in a snap. It is true that there are millions to be made in the foreign exchange market. But, it definitely is just pure luck if you make it in a snap. Legitimate forex trading tips would tell you that profits in the forex trading market could be made only with the right strategy and the right market timing. There are no guarantees that returns could be made quick and easy. Any promotional material giving you forex trading tips guaranteeing yields would most probably be a scam.
Here are some forex trading tips that you can count on for your very own long term profitable forex trading business:

1. Invest time and effort in learning everything you need to know about trading. You cannot just rely on forex trading tips and expect to make killings in the market. There are a lot of forex pieces of advice out there but the most important forex pieces advice are those that tell you to keep yourself informed before, during and after trading. A whole lot of information is available to anyone who wants to get into forex trading. Find one that will make you understand not just how to place your orders but one that will actually teach you how to read and time the forex market.
   
2. Keep yourself updated on current events including business news. The main determinants of the value of forex currencies and the way the market moves are the events that occur everyday and how people react to these occurrences. A good understanding of human psychology would allow you to understand the interrelationship among these events, human emotions, and the market.
   
3. Have a forex trading strategy and have the discipline to make your trades according to your strategy. Forex trading without a strategy is just like gambling. You are putting in your money only with hopes that the market will move in your favor, without actually projecting, using indicators, that it could move in that particular direction. A lot of new traders lose a lot of money trading this way just because some email marketer gives them forex trading tips that tell them that they could simply place their bets on particular currencies.
   
4. Keep your emotions at bay. It is easy to get carried away when certain currencies are soaring. It is also easy to second guess yourself when you are nervous at a time when currencies are plunging. When you are trading using a strategy, these market movements should not cause you to be overly zealous nor overly cautious. You can also lose a lot of money with your emotions meddling with your trading strategy. Trust your strategy to work for you. There are indicators that you can use to time your trades properly. When your strategy says you should trade, you should execute your trade accordingly regardless of what is going on in the world.
   

These are just some of the basic forex trading tips that could get you started in your forex trading business. Follow these forex trading tips and you can expect to have a profitable forex trading business. There will surely be some snags in your trading where you will lose some money. But, if you stick to a proven strategy, these losses can be balanced off with gains and still end up with a positive balance sheet.

hello, I got in an accident (wasnt at fault, t-boned a girl that tried to do an illegal left turn crossing double yellow. my airbags deployed and frame damage)last month that left my 2019 Yaris deemed as a total loss ): insurance said we can buy it back and get it repaired but it'll have a salvaged title. I decided to take the payout and just get a used car. we were originally looking at a 2017 corolla at the dealership priced at 16k but my dad and I saw the 2013 corolla, it had one owner only. I instantly liked it because of the body plus its superrr clean and nice, past owner definitely took great care of it! we both test drove it and I loved it ! some minor cosmetic damage but its not a big deal, I just dont want a new car because of the car payments rn at all😅.
my parent's main concern was of the high mileage as this will go to my little sister when I get a new car in 2-5 years, but I told them I wont be driving as much since im graduating college this weekend. the rep also told us they got the car 3 days ago.
insurance will give us about 15k for the payout.. I'm hoping we can get the corolla for $8-10k but im not too sure... my mom tried to bargain the corolla initially and the rep was meh about the price. I just dont know how Toyota does it when the car is old + high mileage but in great shape.. we all are totally new to buying used from a dealership😅
curious if anyone had an experience buying an older used car with high mileage? appreciate it !

My boyfriend and I are both 30. We met last year, Aug30 and dated for months and became official on January 1st. A little background lang, I live alone in a condo and he visits me daily when we were just dating pa until we became official. So, last year when we were just dating pa(not official) I clearly remember this day when he visited me at my place, it was the coronation day of Miss Universe yung nanalo si Ms. Nicaragua. So I borrowed his ipad kasi I can put it at the table kasi may stand instead of phone na hinahawakan lang tapos that time I was watching live sa Fb, so i sent the link from my phone to his messenger so I can just watch it directly sa ipad. While I was watching sa ipad nya hindi kasi naka full screen. Na noticed ko lang sa right side parang may suggested na mga profile like except from his mom and dad’s profile meron then 1 person dun always suggested which is si (ex) pala kasi like sa right side ng screen parang like recommended talaga yung profile like( “ex commented to, ex like..”) yung mga ganyan. That was the day I found out na ex nya pala yun. Kasi pansin ko din si fb kung sino ang profile na vinisit mo palagi mag aapear talaga sya mostly sa profile mo like “yung shortcut”.. Out of curiosity, i visited her profile and saw that she’s already in a relationship, and I knew the guy from a previous company. So, mas na curious pa ako then when you try to search kasi sa fb makikita mo history sa “recent searches, visits” at that time nakita ko na my bf still visits his ex’s profile once i a while maybe 3-5x since the day we started seeing. I just told him after ng Ms. U, na “I think I know na sino ex mo, is it (name) noh? He didn’t deny naman and just ask n how did i know, and i just casually said na because sa fb mo sya ang top suggested profile together with your mom and dad, meaning you always visit here profile, that’s it. I didn’t ask anything na.
Then maybe a month or so, we were open to giving access to our phones. One day, while I was browsing some photos, android kasi phone nya so medyo daming albums, meron like “google photos”, so when I went to click it, meron dun another gmail account with more photos, so while I was scrolling, i saw a photos of them, and when I returned the phone I intentionally left it the photos and did not bother to exit so para when he open he would know that I saw the photos but, I did not confront him or anything just waiting for him to say something pero wala. Then a few days after I went to check the photos again, the other account was logged out na. I asked him, bakit na logout yung ibang account and he said wala daw sya ginalaw at wala nman daw ibang acct, i told him anong wala nakita ko pa nga photos nyo ng ex mo sa acct na yun sabi nya hindi naman nya ni logout. So ayun, i just dismissed it.
Fast forward, we rarely check each other’s phones na. We had disagreements, away bati in our relationship just like a normal couple but never this. So just this Monday may 13th. I decided to check his gallery. I saw some retrieved old google photos na sa album nya. So I when checked the account I saw the other account na login na ulit, so I opened it and saw their photos again. So while he was lying down, I just casually said, wow “grabi yung glowup ng ex mo ngayon, like ang layo2 before grabi sobrang puti na” Pero without looking up, he said “yeah, because at that time dami nyang nilalagay sa face nya kaya daming sugat2. Like, hello is that the right thing to say to your gf? Instead of saying, sorry hindi ko pala na delete yung photos because this or that or why i I decided to keep it. He also insisted he didn’t see the photos and I was like how come you knew exactly which photos I was referring, also yan nga una nag aapear eh when you opened that account. I continued to browse the photos and he was looking as if proud na proud pa. He let me continued making side comments and until I saw video nya he was calling her ex their endearment. Then I said, “sus gusto nya palang endearment ****, ako ang dami ko ng sinuggest like baby, babe, love to the point na ginawa ko ng friend, bro and brader, kaya ayaw iba pala ang gusto, kaya pala hanggang first name basis pa rin tayo. Sana all, pati sa mga photos nyo ikaw mismo nag tatake directly pero tayo ni walang halos photos, buti nlang talaga hindi ko din pinipilit mag take tayo ng photos” tapos defend pa saying hindi naman ako ang gusto ng tawagan sya naman” I got annoyed and added more side comments saying na maybe ganyan talaga pag nasa tamang tao, mas nag go-glow naalagan natin ang selves natin, baka cgro we both look stress because we’re not at the right partner. Kaya siguro palagi mo vinisit ang profile ng ex mo kasi di kapa naka move on or maybe ng hihiniyang ka because she’s so happy with her partner now, traveling together.. Between, our argument he said “do you know when was that(referring to the photos) and what we’ve been through?”, “I don’t care about them kung anong gingawa nila and he keep shouting at this point, I’m trying to remain calm because nakakahiya sa neighbors ko kaya even if want to shout back I can’t, instead I sinabi wag ka mag scandalo dito, hindi mo ito place, hinaan mo boses mo”.. He calmed and took his phone put of my hand and deleted the photos. When he did, sinabi ko oh bakit mo dinelete nayiha kapa, kanini proud na proud kapa. He just stood and left. I went to msg him and showed him a screen recording of deleting all our photos and said this how easy to delete photos, it’s less than 1 minute and he should delete our photos too. I also told him that we need to talk in the morning . I have so many questions. He said he’ got diarrhea so we video call, and it turned to argument again, he said shouted at me and cursed me a lot like big time! I never had a partner who cursed me before so i felt attacked and very disrespected like i never expected that it would come from a partner, haven’t heard from him not even sorry. So yesteday, I messaged him saying “Was it worth it? Worth it ba yung pag shout and pag cursed mo sakin over your past? Not even sorry or proper explanation. Ito pala gusto mo style disrespectful and bastos. Then I’ll give it back to you” right after sending the message I blocked him.
Did I overeact or valid yung ginawa ko? Sa true lang gusto ko gumanti ng insults and hurtful words, pero na realized ko na sayang sa oras but if he ever come to my place, feel ko, makapagbibitaw din talaga ako ng insults

Former UCI. Graduated years ago. Just to put my few cents here.
I hope no right minded students in UCI or any university will be far sided with the protestors.
This protest has gone out of the original meaning. Many will say this is historic event and this was non violent. However, there has been vandalizing, destruction of property, physical contacts made during the protest which is not your typical "peaceful protest".
I've been to every protest in SoCal, only observing from afar or from the car. There's been nothing but hate and destruction... and trash/smoking weed in their "camp".
I am mostly sure there was protestors who were not students and had extreme hate for Israel/USA that joined to spread propaganda or false information.
Going back .. to early 1900s, when Israelites came back to live in Israel, Palestinians did not like that and actually denied peace treaty that Israelites offered, which mainly included hefty payments and attacked them. Much similar way Hamas did.
Social media has done great job on focusing the war on "Genocide". All wars have casualty and if this wasn't the case USA should be forever damned for bombing Japan in WW2. Israel did give out fair warning before advancing. To be fair, friendly fire, accidental coordination strikes and other mistakes are common in war. But to take these mistakes and marking them as "Planned Attack" is just plain stupid. Israel would not be that dumb to purposely attack civilians. Most of the civilian deaths are those who did not leave when was given warning to leave the area.
What many fail to understand is, if Israel stops war right now it'll be over for Israel as the world will see that Israel has admit 100% fault in this war. Then the funding of Hamas from other countries will begin, USA and EU will not be able to help Israel then, because technically they will be helping the guilty. Then we'll be losing the only Middle East ally.
This is not the Vietnam era where "Stop the Draft (thus stop the war)" protest worked. This is far beyond what USA could bargain into.
It's more complicated than just "Stop war, Stop funding Israel" at this point. Remember that Israel has nuclear weapon. If cornered, the nukes can go off at any point and the chain reaction could causes WW3. Bad time especially when Russia is agitated and China is growing more military power and nukes, while EU is losing more and more power.
Protest like this will only increase tension between US and foreign affairs, allow extremists to work within these protest and vulnerable minds. The violence, camping, trashing, vandalizing, distracting students and etc. definitely is not the way.
(Biden is old and the election is coming soon. He'll likely do whatever he can to take more votes. He'll side both with the protestors/students and Israel. Whatever he chooses, it'll backfire because he's doing it for the votes.)

today my mom and I went out shopping after work. I’m taking accutane which makes me super dehydrated and coupled with the fact that I ran out of water and didn’t eat properly the whole day, I had the biggest headache and was short with my words.
fast forward I pay for my mom’s stuff because I promised her I would and I don’t mind. after she wanted to go one more place and buy something. I was ok with it but then my headache throbbed even more and I ended up telling her that maybe we can save it for another day because my head was hurting. because my head hurt I said it in a snappy tone and she blew up on me on our way back to the car, saying that I was disrespectful, always getting mad at her, and I never wanna spend time with her and only with my friends.
I know I don’t have to justify myself but just to preface, I never spend time with friends. I work a typical 9-5 and by the time I’m done with work I don’t wanna interact with anyone ever.
she brought up the ONE time I hung out with my friend and she said that when I’m with my friends I’m happy but when I’m with her I’m not. I wonder why! It’s almost like my friends understand me and respect me and don’t blow up on me over the smallest thing possible. one time I told her I was planning to hangout with friends and decides that she wants to do something that day. by the time we were finished, my friends could no longer go outside as it was too late and I just had to hold back my tears.
because of her behavior, I grew up very intuitive and try to gauge people’s behaviofeelings to make sure I don’t upset them in the first place, if not further. I also grew up feeling like I had to apologize for everything to avoid anything escalating, so I apologized in the car. silent treatment. the entire ride home and while we’re unloading our stuff, silent treatment. I decide I’m gonna do laundry and she finally speaks and yells at me for being stupid to wash at night knowing I’m tired and will “probably have another headache and blow up at her in the morning.”
I’m tired of her constantly doing this but I don’t know how to deal with it. I don’t wanna keep apologizing and I also don’t want to just let her talk over me, but I don’t know what the right course of action would be. I’m so tired.

Started door to door solar February this year when things were pretty slow. Unfortunately I felt like this was a last option since I had some stomach surgery done that left me unable to do trades work. Since I had met someone at a party he gotten me in to the solar industry. At first it seemed great and had lots financial potential. Only issue is I didn't have good social skills and I was placing my self in debt to pay for gas to get to the work location. And no we had no base salary. 2 weeks I got my first deal closed, contracts have been singed but guess what no funding so never got paid. 2 more weeks go by and another deal gets closed and a week after it got funded. Here's the catch , the friend/manager keeps saying next week I'll get paid but it's been a fucking month and nothings in the account. But they only pay 750 per deal. So now he keeps telling me to keep going on the doors to get consistent pay, but now ive lost money, motivation and even had to pick up a part time job to keep doing this. It's taken a toll on my mental and we live in canada so getting out all the time back then was hard because the weather was harsh and the locations are far. Not even sure what to do, a bunch of new setters came in and are setting more appointments their first week then I ever did in a month. not even sure why I'm doing this anymore my other job pays better. Don't get me wrong I love sales but I'm only 18 and I think I'm taking on too much baggage to please others then my self. Might quit or even get my real estate license since I've been wanting to do that since I was younger

Planning a trip from India to Thailand and Cambodia in August 2024, focusing on local food and reliable internet for remote work.
Looking for budget-friendly, peaceful locations. Seeking suggestions for alternative destinations near Bangkok to cut flight costs.
Detailed below:
Hi everyone,
I'm planning a trip in August 2024 from India to Thailand and Cambodia. I have a remote job and will be working while traveling. I don't party and drink, so I'm only looking for places with good local food and reliable internet for email, Slack calls, and social media (Digital marketing, so I don't need insanely fast internet like someone in Tech may need).
Here is my planned itinerary: (Travelling Solo, 37 Yo, Male)

• Land in Bangkok: August 10 - leave on 14th Aug
• Bangkok to Chiang Mai - Flight: Here till 17th Aug
• Chiang Mai to Siem Reap: Here till 20th Aug (C. Mai to BKK to SR Flight)
• Siem Reap to Phnom Penh: Here till Aug 25
• Phnom Penh to Home: August 26

(Note - All my flights will be ideally landing at the location b/w 6 am to 11 noon - I will book in that way)
I'm concerned about the costs of flights, so if anyone can suggest some great locations close to Bangkok that fit what I'm looking for, I'd be grateful. (I am looking for options to drop Chiang Mai - I don't mind Beach or Mountains - I am looking for a peaceful getaway with good food and internet)
Key Points to remember:

• Internet: Need decent internet for email, Slack calls, and social media.
• Travel Style: Enjoy local food, not interested in partying. Can't afford 5-star chains - I'm on a budget but that doesn't mean I will stay in a completely frugal $5 a night place.
• Off Season: I know this is not the best time, I'm going during the off-season for budget reasons. I don't mind the rain and prefer it over the summer heat.

Concerns:
Costs of Flights: It's becoming expensive so alternative locations near Bangkok that offer a similar experience, please share.
This trip is really important to me as I had to cancel similar plans in 2016 and 2019 due to financial reasons. I'm determined to make it happen this time.
Thank you for any advice and suggestions!
Ps - Angkor Wat: I want to invite my parents (70+ years old) to join me in Cambodia. Is it feasible for elderly visitors? I think there is a lot of walking and climbing involved, if there is they won't come, because if you don't see AW then what did you see in Cambodia.
Sorry for mixing two countries in one post, and thanks in advance for your help!

So my gf (22f) and I have been dating for almost 6 months and about 3 months ago we decided to get a apartment together bc we were both tired with living with our parents and now I know it was way to soon to move in together. She had a job at a hospital prior but quit bc she had issues with the doctors being jerks. Before we moved in together she got a job working at a urgent care but that lasted about 2 weeks bc she said she just didn't have the motivation to go back. Well I helped her get a job at the business my mom works at since she is one of the higher up people there. It was a good position as an assistant manager and she was making more then she was before, well about 3 weeks into the job she was complaining that the manager keeps giving her extra work, she told me she wants to quit but she's going to wait until she has another job lined up and she will do a 2 week notice, well I got home from work one day and she was home so I gave her a kiss and went to the bathroom and that's when she decided to text me that she quit her job. Of course I was upset bc now she has no income when she agreed when we first moved in that we would both pay half which is $730 each and I would cover the other bills since I do make more then her. I told her she should apply where I work bc we have different departments she could do that's easy but she has a medical assistant degree and refuses to do anything that doesn't have to do with her education. Now it's been almost 2 months since she quit so I'm paying all the bills and having to work a lot of overtime so make sure everything is paid and it's causing my anxiety it gets worse then it already is. When I told my girlfriend that I'm super stressed with everything her response to that was to say "just don't be" Things are getting weirder bc now she's always wanting to look at my phone and my messages and whenever my phone goes off she wants to know what it was. She was on my phone bc she was supposed to be getting us a discount on our Internet bill bc she had food stamps but instead she went thought all my Facebook messages. She goes up to me and says that she's concerned bc she knows I was texting my ex while we were talking, we weren't even dating at that point so I asked her to show my the messages so she scrolls all the way down my messenger and shows me a text exchange between my ex and I where it was me saying why I don't have feelings for her bc at the time my ex was trying to get back together but I was saying no. I asked my girlfriend if she even read the texts and she tells me "no I only looked at the date" so she didn't even care what the conversation was about, she just didn't like the fact that my ex and I talked at that point in time. She will get mad at me if I go to the store without her or if I decide I go for a drive alone she gets mad. She wants to be by my side all time time and even gets mad when I go on my computer on the weekends which is the only time I go on it. I made the mistake of making a joint bank account with her so she will buy something and just says "it's our money" I just don't know what to do at this point and when I do bring up my concerns to her she will either flip it to make me sound like the bad guy or if she says something that actually upsets me she just says "I was joking". What should I do?
TLDR: My gf won't get a job that isn't a medical assistant and now I'm stuck paying all the bills and having to work crazy hours just to survive.

Hello, I dont know if this is the right place to ask, so feel free to redirect me if necessary.
i love the Cashmere Woods fragrance that Glade used to have! I use the past tense because i noticed recently that, much to my disappointment, they changed their scent! I dont know if it's specific to the "automatic spray refill" line, as that's the only one i have
In the "old" (good) refills, in the ingredients section, i can read "SCJ product formula #35*34898" while in the new (bad) cans i read instead "SCJ product formula # 35*41606"
Does any have more information about this change? is it permanent? how can we get the old fragrance back, etc etc
thanks for your help!
