I'm wondering if anyone who compared these two brands could share what they ended up doing. I'm likely looking at the 14AX Trainer (it isn't much more than the Sport) vs. the Endless X500. I'm far from a high level swimmer, and the E500 seems like it would not be worth the premium to me.
I looked at Master Spa, but frankly the dealer did not give me a great impression. Seemed very "used car sales" there. Plus while they say they offer service in my area, my house is a good 2 hours from their show room. The Hydropool and Endless dealers are closer and have decent reviews. I do not see a lot of third-party spa maintenance/repair businesses in my area despite it being a major metro area. The one that came up in my searches is apparently now part of the Hydropool dealer's business.
The Hydropool dealer also sells TidalFit, but it seems like those are a step down. I can go checkout a Bullfrog, I like the idea of the "seat packs", but haven't read much about their swimming jets.
When I read about the Endless, it seems most are talking about the E500, which I don't doubt has a top notch swimming experience. There seems to be less on the X500 which is probably more akin to the Hydropool's swimming system.
I do like that the Hydropool has 4 hydrotherapy seats, but realistically it is jut going to be 2 in there 95% of the time. I like the hydrotherapy jet layout better on the E500 vs the X500, but again, probably not worth the extra price.
FWIW, I am planning build a covered deck around the spa. My understanding is that both of these should be "repairable" for 20 years or so. I don't expect it to run like a Swiss watch for 20 years, but as long as I can repair it, I'm happy. Otherwise I'd need to do some deck surgery to get a new one in there later on.
I've also been told the End to End rolling cover is as good as anything, so I'm going to get one of those for ease of use/storage when in use.
Anyway, appreciate any thoughts people have before I drop the coin on one of these.

Platform(s): PC
Genre: Space / Adventure / Narrative-based
Estimated year of release: Late 1980's?
Graphics/art style: Sparse if any - I believe it was text based
Notable characters: Don't know
Notable gameplay mechanics: I believe it must've been dialogue heavy
Other details: I saw this once in an old recycled computer catalog. It was advertised as a PC game, mostly or entirely text based, and it came with a manual or a thick book of numbered paragraphs with dialogue. Kind of like Wasteland I? It was really intriguing because of the idea that you do something, then you read about it in a reference book, then you do something else. I don't know the name - perhaps Reach for the Stars--which is an early 1980's game but as far as I can tell, not referencing a text--or Return to the Stars, but I think it may have been something like that.

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm RBS, a self-improvement coach, and I've got something special to offer you, absolutely free—no strings attached.
But before I dive into that, let me share a little secret with you. Just a year ago, my life was pretty tough. Every day seemed clouded with negative thoughts, and my relationships, both with myself and others, were strained. Feeling alone and worthless was my norm, and I settled for less because I couldn't believe I deserved any better. It felt like a hopeless cycle.
I was constantly worried that no matter how hard I tried, I'd never measure up. This fear kept me tossing and turning at night. I tried improving myself, but it felt like I was stuck in an uphill battle with no end in sight. I started questioning if all the effort was even worth it. At times, it seemed like my fate was sealed by what I was born with—like success was reserved for the naturally gifted.
But then, something incredible happened about a year ago. Thanks to the grace of Allah (God), my life took a turn. Now, I chase my dreams with an unparalleled drive, exuding confidence and energy like never before! Today, I'm happier and more accomplished than I ever thought possible.
So, what changed in that year? It was surprisingly simple... I stumbled across my mentor.
But why a mentor, you might ask? Having a mentor was a game-changer for me. It wasn't just about getting directions; my mentor provided priceless feedback, drawing from his own life experiences. He has been through it all and knows what worked. When things got tough, he was there to give me that extra push and remind me of my potential.
So, if you're feeling stuck, consider seeking guidance from a mentor. Someone who's been in your shoes and can help you navigate the path ahead. That's why I'm passionate about mentoring others for free!
As a self-improvement coach, I'm dedicated to helping young men transform their lives and become the best versions of themselves. I draw from various sources like books, podcasts, studies, philosophy, and personal research.

I am 28 years old, Italian, lucky enough to be born and lived in a beautiful Italian city. My family has some savings and my parents are apprently in good health (i feel like i don't deserve these fortunes). The problem is me. My adolescence was a disaster, my father has always been limiting and overprotective, i sufferend from social isolation, video game addiction, physical dysmorphia, severe acne and bullying. I was left and cheated by my first and only girlfriend at the age of 20 and during the same year I had a long lasting physical problem that resulted in OCD, this led to another 3 years of social isolation and worsening of my psycho-physical state. After three years I meet a girl who infected me with a bacterium and molluscum contagiosum and then two another years of covid. 25 years old. I graduated in something i later discovered I have no interest in (bacherol degree) at the age of 27, two weeks later I went to a psychiatrist who diagnoses me with autism and ADHD. I havent noticed any benefits from therapy (I will met a new psychiatrist on tuesday). During this year i attempted some jobs but I never felt like i fit in. I have traveled very little, i spent 70% of my life in my room, I have attended few parties, I have a principle of social anxiety, I am addicted to social media and cannabis and I still live with my parents.
The only thing I have managed to do in 28 years are: improve my muscle mass through physical training, teach myself to play guitar, overcome the fear of driving a car, meet some girls (I have had sex with 5 girls in my life), find out the roots of my mental problems, forgive my father for his behavior while I was growing up.
I don't know what to do with my life. I feel lost. I feel old. The weight of time, the feelings of guilt towards my parents and my loved ones and the fear of the future are destroying my psyche. Suffering all these years has led to a compromise in my mental ability, sometimes I forget words, people's names and I don't know how to do basic mathematical calculations.
Part of me is thinking about continuing to study for a master's degree. But I don't know if it's worth it. What I would like to do is doing something to help others, but with my degree I can't do any of this. With a master's degree I can maybe become a teacher, which I might enjoy, but its a long jorney.
Things that MAYBE i believe can improve my self-esteem: traveling, traveling alone, it ll sounds stupid but i would like to learn how to fight (but im a bit scared of fighting gym environment).
I feel unworthy of love. I feel its to late to change. I need some help, really. I need to change the way a i interpret the world.
If you can give me some advice i would be very grateful.

Hello, I am building a world for use in my homebrew campaign. The Expanse of Chaos as i call it is a domain of dread (just like barovia from curse of strahd) created by the failed experiments by an entity, most often known as the whisperer
The basic premise is a circular world surrounded by a seemingly endless eldritch sea, divided into sections and rings by shimmering walls seeing out of cracks in the weave. These contain the pure chaotic magic that seeps from the center where a powerful entity is contained
The outermost reigons will have a more victorian/steampunk vibe, mostly driven by the blood of leviathans from the deep. The rim is more populus and not as magically infused with chaos, the closer you get to the center the more chaotic magic suffused the environment and less tech exists as fewer people make it there. With the innermost regions being near inhospitable without magical interventions.
This is a work in progress, and I am looking for all kinds of pointers and ideas.

[21M] [20F] I have no idea what kind of a drunk she is. Along with this I have severy anxiety, OCD, and low self-esteem so I'm just constantly getting barraged by these horror shows of intrusive thoughts. There's always a pit in my stomach when the prospect of partying with or without me comes up. I have no reason to believe she would cheat on me. I know the problem here is me, but I just needed somewhere to vent. I guess I want someone with more experience with relationships and these kind of things in general to chastise and invalidate how I feel. I feel like shit thinking about it this way, but I can't help it. This is also something I probably should not talk about with my partner either. We've been together for 6 months.

When the three teens got up the next morning, they ate quickly before turning their attention back to the instrument.
With the soundboard ready enough, Derek's next task was to collect the string posts and such from some of the scrapped stringed instruments, but to do no more than clean them up if needed and set them aside for later.
While he was doing that, Shizoku was using one of the better instruments in the shop to make sure that Fuyuko had a solid concept of scales and octaves. During this, the luponi couldn't help but ask "Ya should be able ta hear as well as me, why are ya tryin' ta have me figure this out?"
"Well," the kitsune replied, "there's a few things involved. First, I have paid a lot more attention to my magical senses than my physical ones, so while my ears might be able to physically hear as well as yours, my mind isn't as attuned to working with that information. You have been used to pushing yourself to make the most of every sound." She hesitated a moment before adding, "There's something else involved with that, but I think it's best if someone more experienced teaches you, which Mordecai is probably going to do, so I am not going to even tell you what it's about. I just don't want you to think I hid something from you later."
After Fuyuko gave a slightly confused nod, Shizoku continued. "I am also giving you just enough information for you to get certain key concepts down. Once I do that, we can hunt for a fresh set of notes without the bias of the rest of my training. You'll understand when we are done."
Once she was satisfied with the taller girl's understanding, Shizoku began the next stage of the process. "Okay, now this instrument over here has some adjustable positioning with its tuning knobs, and we have some other pieces that were also still being prototyped. Fuyuko, what I want you to do is find a new note. We have a bunch of strings of different types, so you can play with it with different sounds. So you hunt down a note that you like, no, love. Deep or high or somewhere in between, it doesn't matter. Once we have a single note to work with, we can scale up or down as needed to get the matching ones, the only limitation is that it has to be a note Derek can hear. The notes I showed you are the notes I know, but technically a scale can be based on the harmonies of any frequency. Since you don't know all the systems that already exist, and you have really good hearing, you should be able to pick out a clean frequency to start with."
After Fuyuko got a hang of tuning strings, Shizoku had Derek follow her out of the workroom. "I don't want to disturb her concentration, and I don't want our reactions to influence her. I'm sure she's heard plenty of music before, but I doubt she's heard as much well-performed music as you have, so she won't know what sounds are supposedly wrong."
While Fuyuko was occupied, the pair explored the witch's island more, poking their noses into any unlocked buildings other than the main house. Some of them were storage, and some were other types of workshops. Shizoku wasn't certain if the wreck of an alchemy lab was the result of visitors or of Carmilla's own experiments, and decided it was best to not ask. But there were a lot of notes and a few books, so she decided to start browsing them and copying any new information she found. She also wrote on a couple of them to correct anything she saw that was clearly wrong.
Once the fox girl got distracted by her studies, Derek decided to practice channeling his elemental abilities more. The swamp was a fascinating mix of different types of elements and different ways elements could be seen. The concept of 'mud' was complicated enough that he was beginning to see it as its own thing, distinct from earth and water.
And then there was the way in which 'air' could be trapped in the muck, and even the more liquid stuff could prove difficult for air bubbles to escape readily. None of that was good quality air, at least, not if you needed to breathe, but it was air. Sort of.
He walked along the wooden walkways that wound around the island, probing as far as he could with his senses. Holding on to this state was tiring, but it was easier to keep doing this exercise when there was something new and interesting to puzzle out. He wasn't trying to manipulate or adjust anything right now, that seemed like a bad idea to mess with Carmilla's island, but there was enough here that was simply different from what he'd seen before to keep him occupied for a while.
So when Fuyuko had found the note she wanted to work with, she had to spend more time fetching her friends before they could continue. "So, as I was playin' with the notes, I kinda remembered some old songs my ma used ta sing ta me. They didn't sound the same as the songs people liked, and they ain't in common, so I ain't sung them in a long time, but I tried ta remember them as best I can, and then I figured out some strings that sounded like I remembered. I think these can work as part of a scale."
Shizoku was satisfied with the results. "It's not on any of the scales I know. Very good Fuyuko. Um, and maybe when we are done here, we can hear those songs. Now for the hard part. We have to find the harmonies. More specifically, we have to find the harmonies and how to create them with the available strings. This is going to be a lot of work, and most of it is still going to be based on Fuyuko's hearing, so our part is to make sure she has as many available strings and ways of adjusting them as possible."
It took several days in fact, including marking sections on the strings that could be used to change to a different harmonic note. Part of this was to create a lot of options, which they were going to need. Shizoku took a lot of notes during this, and Derek eventually had to go back to town to barter for some more strings. They had a lot more than they were going to use in the final product, but there were so many more possible notes than Derek had realized. And the tiny fox organizing their efforts was being perfectionist about having every possible option available. She'd also added "precise distance measuring tools" to his shopping list.
In the end, Derek had what she wanted, but he was pretty certain that he'd overpaid in at least one barter. At least he'd been able to get some more food supplies. The meals Udup got for them were fine, but a little repetitive and boring, so it was nice to get a change of pace. He also made sure to collect the items they had been storing in their room so that they didn't have to lug them around the swamp, as they had a place to stay on the witch's island.
And during all this Bip was amusing itself by learning to vibrate in tune with the various notes, and even showed off by making waves on its surface that matched the sound. Shizoku looked a little confused when she passed on what her familiar said, but to Derek that felt like an insight he needed to work on with his air attunement.
When their taskmistress was satisfied with their options, it was time to create the layout for their instrument. "We need a piece of wood the same size and shape as our instrument. We're going to figure out the best string order for what we want. This is going to involve a lot of moving things around, so we want to do the work here, and then copy that to the actual instrument when we are done."
This part went a lot faster but it still took most of a day to design their layout, and the next morning was used for their final assembly.
The instrument had a total of twenty-six strings, two octaves of thirteen notes each, with more notes available based on which of the raised ridges one pressed down on while plucking the string. Even with the tools that Derek had bought, measuring with enough precision was hard, but thankfully the tuning posts were all made to be used in experimental instruments so were easy to adjust.
After they had lunch, they got Carmilla to examine their work. "Huh," she murmured as she plucked each string, "yeah, that is a new sound. And this thing is cool, I need to find a name for it. Alright, you guys pass this stage, and with flying colors." She giggled, "Miss Kazoo says you did that the way hard way. It was thorough, but you should have been able to do it with about a third the work or less."
Shizoku scowled and said, "Well, she may have had a lot of music training, but I have had only so much, so I wanted to be sure I didn't miss anything." And then she blinked, "Wait, 'Kazoo'?"
Carmilla coughed. "Oops. I'm getting a scolding now from Mordecai. Um, maybe don't use that? Anyway, you guys did a great job and put a lot of creative and physical effort into this. That adds up, you know? So with this and all the other stuff you guys did before coming here, I only get to ask you for one more task. I want you to put on a performance for me. And I want it to include that instrument. You can practice with this one, Kazue will make a copy that is a bit more stable for the performance and for me to keep."
That elicited groans from the entire group, but Shizoku rebounded quickly. "Wait, I have an idea. Um, I think we need a couple of days of practice, and we need a drum as well."
The plan was pretty straightforward. Fuyuko was going to sing the songs she could remember, and teach them to Shizoku and Derek while also doing her best to play the notes on their new instrument. She wasn't really going to be very proficient at it in only a couple of days, but they were able to work out the simplest arrangement that would go with her songs.
Derek's job was to maintain a steady beat on the drum and sing along with the chorus of the song. Not knowing the language that Fuyuko was singing in made this part harder.
Shizoku's job was to adjust one of the dances she knew to the timing of Fuyuko's song. She even dug into one of her expanded space bags to bring out a very fancy looking kimono and a pair of fans that could be used to create a sharp snapping sound, which could be used to contrast the low sound of the drum that Derek was playing.
The resulting performance was far from professional. Fuyuko only had a small pattern of notes she could reliably reproduce while singing, and they were somewhat spread out as she couldn't play fast at all. Shizoku's fan dance also didn't really match the feel of the song despite the adjustments she tried to make, and Derek's reproduction of the chorus was far from perfect.
But they put sincere effort into it, and Carmilla was satisfied. "Oh, that will be a great start, and I think I am going to like playing this. Thank you, I think you three have put more real effort into this than most of the adults have. Oh, they have a special gift for you Fuyuko, they say you should have it now." A small book appeared in her hands, which she handed over to Fuyuko. "Part of the dungeon magic means they learned that language when you sang it. This is a copy of every song you sang and a translation. The writing for the original is sounded out using the common alphabet, they don't have a writing sample to learn the original script from. Um, they also think you should wait to read it until you guys are settled in for the night. I'll let you three through the swamp tomorrow, and you can collect your big prizes when you get to the end."
The reason for waiting became clear to Fuyuko when she did start reading later that night, and she began crying. "I remembered the words and the sounds, but it's been so long that I didn't really remember the meaning. They were lullabies. They were my clan's lullabies."
Shizoku and Derek did their best to comfort their friend, but her tears were both of pain and of joy. She was very happy to have this small bit of her past restored to her, even if the translations showed she'd forgotten a verse or two. She was going to do her best to remember them all and make sure they were written down.
She was much calmer by morning, and the three collected themselves and set off to make their way to the briar wall that blocked off the exit to the level. The passage through went fine, but the corridor after was not the straight path Fuyuko had expected. It was blocked off, and there was a single stair way splitting off from the corridor. "Um, guys. That's supposed ta be the way we go, it goes ta a big room ta watch the arena from. That's, um, one of the stairs down to the arena."
They didn't know what to make of this and made their way down very cautiously.
Mordecai was waiting for them, along with several bunkins and kobolds. "So, who is up for an optional bonus challenge?" He asked them with a grin.

My (now ex) girlfriend and I decided to go poly with a couple who were our best friends. It was the girls idea and what began as a foursome fantasy turned into a regular 'wife swap' situation for about 6 months. We went on dates and hooked up with each others partners during this time and at first it was very positive for everyone. As things progressed it became clear that me and my best friends girlfriend had a deep connection. This was noticed by my girlfriend and the whole thing was called off quite abruptly. A couple months later, my girlfriend and I broke up. Though this situation definitely was a catalyst, it was not the reason we broke up and truthfully the breakup was a healthy and good decision.
After the breakup I remained friends with the couple that we had swapped with however it was hard to remain just friends with my friends girlfriend. They had become monogamous again however our connection didn't fade. We exchanged flirty texts and both couldn't let it go. One night when I was sleeping over at their house after a party, she kissed me before going to bed and my friend heard it. He brought it up to her the next day and was very upset as he was under the impression that the relationship had ended months ago, which it did. He talked to me that week and told me that he was not comfortable with me continuing my relationship with her. I listened and was apologetic and told him that it would never happen again and that it was a mistake.
I disconnected from his girlfriend for several weeks but as time went on we began texting each other and admitted to missing each other. She began sharing with me her desires to leave her relationship, not specifically to be with me but because she wasn't happy. This wasn't the first time she had mentioned this. We talked about this several times on the phone and each time my response was that she shouldn't leave her relationship because of me and that I was in no place to be in a new relationship as a newly single person fresh off a breakup. Though all this was true I still had feelings for her and I continued to express those feelings. She was much more forward about her feelings but every time she would bring them up I would validate our connection and share that I felt the same way. I was very polarized in how I felt. My brain was telling me that I was not ready for a relationship and that continuing this dialogue was inappropriate but my heart wanted her and I couldn't resist her advances. Truly we had a connection and it felt like I either had to deny my feelings or my logic. I chose to deny my logic and continue texting and flirting with her against my friends wishes.
A couple weeks later she let me know she was having trouble in her relationship and she was thinking about ending things with him. She's unhappy and has been for a while. She also told me that my friend (her boyfriend) was questioning if her and I were still talking. She told him we weren't and her and I agreed to call it quits on the flirtatious messaging. We recognized that although our feelings for each other were very real, what we were doing was wrong. A day after this decision, my friend texted me out of the blue saying that he was not ok with whatever was going on with me and her and that he was disowning me as a friend. This crushed me but I had no retort, he was right to react this way. Even though nothing physical was happening, Id been feeding inappropriate conversations.I don't know what she told him but either way he knew that I didn't keep my promise to him. I feel horrible. I betrayed my friend and hurt him deeply and recognize what I did was wrong. I still have feelings for her though and she has feelings for me and being with her felt like nothing I've ever experienced. Admittedly her attention made my breakup easier and I've been reliant on her attention during my breakup but it was more than that and we both sensed it.
I've already fucked things with my friend and I don't know where they stand in their relationship but my question is: Is following my feelings and connection with her worth it? Never in my wildest dreams would have thought I'd be in this situation and as a people pleaser, destroying my friendship is a nightmare but I'm still torn. Her and I formed a connection on legitimate grounds and I don't feel bad about that. Part of opening your relationship is opening it up to all possibilities of connection. Should I have denied my heart or should I have put my feelings aside and not continued my relationship with her?
What I should have done was respected my friends wishes and let this situation play out with a 'if it's meant to be then it will happen' mindset but I didn't do that.
My feelings for her are very real and I've never felt this way towards anyone before. Am I wrong in wanting her or continuing a relationship with her if they ever break up? I'm extremely torn. I've chosen her over my friend but was that the right choice? Is a deep romantic connection worth losing a friend over? Is being true to yourself worth leaving people behind? Say she leaves him and we start dating and it really works... is it justified or am I a still a shitty person?

We're planning a girls' trip later this year (September) to the Cancun/Riveria Maya area. Our top contenders for our resorts are: Atelier, Unico 2087, Iberostar Grand Paraiso and Valentin Imperial RM and would love feedback on these resorts!
Things that matter to us:

1. rooms have two beds and a private bathroom (not open/exposed to the room)
   
2. food is good and offers variety between casual dining and "fancier" options, understanding that AI food generally requires a lower set of expectations than normal restaurants
   
3. less of a party vibe and more relaxed - we are a group of moms who want to enjoy some peace and quiet away from our kids to read a book or take a nap
   
4. activities on-site - we like the idea of classes, games, etc in case we get weather not ideal for beach/pool days
   
5. pools and beaches offer shade - we are all officially in our "protect your skin" era and aren't looking to turn into rotisserie chickens while we are gone
   

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm RBS, a self-improvement coach, and I've got something special to offer you, absolutely free—no strings attached.
But before I dive into that, let me share a little secret with you. Just a year ago, my life was pretty tough. Every day seemed clouded with negative thoughts, and my relationships, both with myself and others, were strained. Feeling alone and worthless was my norm, and I settled for less because I couldn't believe I deserved any better. It felt like a hopeless cycle.
I was constantly worried that no matter how hard I tried, I'd never measure up. This fear kept me tossing and turning at night. I tried improving myself, but it felt like I was stuck in an uphill battle with no end in sight. I started questioning if all the effort was even worth it. At times, it seemed like my fate was sealed by what I was born with—like success was reserved for the naturally gifted.
But then, something incredible happened about a year ago. Thanks to the grace of Allah (God), my life took a turn. Now, I chase my dreams with an unparalleled drive, exuding confidence and energy like never before! Today, I'm happier and more accomplished than I ever thought possible.
So, what changed in that year? It was surprisingly simple... I stumbled across my mentor.
But why a mentor, you might ask? Having a mentor was a game-changer for me. It wasn't just about getting directions; my mentor provided priceless feedback, drawing from his own life experiences. He has been through it all and knows what worked. When things got tough, he was there to give me that extra push and remind me of my potential.
So, if you're feeling stuck, consider seeking guidance from a mentor. Someone who's been in your shoes and can help you navigate the path ahead. That's why I'm passionate about mentoring others for free!
As a self-improvement coach, I'm dedicated to helping young men transform their lives and become the best versions of themselves. I draw from various sources like books, podcasts, studies, philosophy, and personal research.

My girlfriend and I have been together for over five years, and everything is going great. I landed a corporate job through an internship, and during that time, I became close friends with others in the program. Our group mainly consists of three girls and two guys, and it's worth noting that only one of the girls is single; all the others are in long-term relationships.
Over the past three years, we've become a tight-knit group, going out for drinks, lunches, dinners, and even trips. Most of the time, my girlfriend is there or is welcome to join; we let all partners come, and sometimes we hang out without them.
However, there have been a few situations where my girlfriend has felt jealous or seemed very insecure about the girls in the group. This happens when I have lunch at work with just one of them, go for walks, catch public transport, or carpool to work with one of them without telling her.
I feel like I'm walking on eggshells when I tell her about my friends. Sometimes, we make plans, and in the end, it's just me and the girls, which upsets her even though I still go. I've always tried to be as honest as possible with her, but it doesn't seem to help.
I think she might see them as threats because they're new friends. It feels like a double standard because she's okay with her male friends since 1. They're from high school, so it's fine, or 2. "It's just (insert friend's name); he's nothing."
I've had multiple conversations and even cried about this with her, telling her how important it is to me to make her happy and reassure her that she's the only one for me told her im not attracted to these girls we just enjoy hanging out as a group. But at the same time, I don't want to lose good friendships because of a partner.

Signs of Autism?
My bf's daughter is 3.3

• is speech delayed and already in therapy for that. She just recently started saying "Grandma" and "Grandpa" correctly. Even after several months is still not able to say my first name. When she wants something mostly starts making small screams instead of asking for it (she is definitely able to communicate it with words) and only recently started asking with words for help. Still babbles quite a lot and makes animal noises very often and acts like she is this animal
  
• is not interested in other children and recently screamed at other kids in a museum to "Go away". At a birthday party mostly played by herself and interacted with others only when they initiated it. Did not seemed to know who the birthday girl is. Never talks about other kids from her daycare or what she did all day. When her cousins are visiting, mostly does not play together with them.
  
• her doctor said there is not need to worry about her walking, but she stumbles quite often and sometimes walks like she is drunk. When walking down stairs it looks like she is much younger. Is visiting a gymnastic course every week but has poor motoric skills.
  
• does not know how much strength she has and at least ones a day accidently hurts her dad or me. Is still throwing stuff quite a lot and for example threw a shoe in my face yesterday (her dads shoe, he wanted to put it on but she kept running away from him and hiding it) Or recently scratched me through the face/eyes when I tried to put her in her car seat, even tough she told me that I should do that. Often tries to hit you in the face or uses toys to poke your eyes.
  
• likes licking weird stuff (feet, chairs, frozen laminated tofu) and gets upset when told that other people don't like to be licked by her. Still puts a lot of different stuff in her mouth and chews on it.
  

Sometimes spits on the floor, because she saw someone do that in a movie.

• Eats basically the same thing every day. Is not interested in a strawberry for example in the morning, even tough she loves them. Starts being interested again in the afternoon. (Only eats specific foods during specific hours)

Breakfast in the last seven months has been mostly bread with butter, lunch dry spaghetti and dinner cucumber, strawberry, cheese and sometimes bread without anything on it. Is obsessed with ice cream and starts screaming when not allowed to have it for breakfast.
Never heard her saying she is hungry. Sometimes says when she is "done" with eating, but it's mostly just possible to see that because she starts spitting it on the floor or throwing it.

• wants hugs etc...but during a meltdown does not want to be touched. When having slept half an hour not enough, has meltdowns all day long (every five to ten minutes)
  
• listens to her name occasionally but it's hard to get her attention.
  
• laughs when other people get hurt
  
• wants to watch the same short clip, several times in a row//does the same action during roleplay over and over again (for hours)
  
• has a meltdown when walking the dog, because he is not taking the route she wants to go, (unexpected new route)//pulls his tail
  
• getting somewhere, being somewhere and going away from somewhere is always stressful. She doesnt wanna go, put on her clothes and is always running away and when we finally get somewhere it's stressfull too. Then she runs away too. When we want to go, the meltdowns start again.

For context I am religious she only has a connection towards catholism but is not a believer but goes to church with me sometimes(reformed)
Hi guys, so this is from the male side. I got a girlfriend from college I am a Junior she a freshman. We are 6 months in, but I need help. I am a very lovey and clingy person and I love also receiving it. I give it to all those close to me and I do not expect it in return but I do want to expect it from my girlfriend however she does not like to express her feelings as much as I do. On the other hand, when I express my feelings about how I feel of she being distant to me she gets mad at me and i end up feelings worst and hurt and i get more ignored rather than get the attention i want. Lately she went to a school trip and does not have much communication with me due to not having internet but at the place she stayed they did so after the trip around the area (visiting hospitals) i would expect to talk to her however she decided to go out shopping at like after 10pm coming back like at 12 even after spending most day out. I felt like everything else mattered more than me because i made it clear i wanted to talk to her yet she doesn’t want to and this have given us more problems. (She went to a different country and visited different cities) I am jealous i know this and i did not get a clubbing girl for this reason but on her school trip the girls have been going out and she has drank like one drink saying the alcohol there is different as she does not like alcohol here besides being unable to drink it anyways. When i am with her i beg her to come to pool with me but she never wants to in one whole semester we did go once however she has gone once in the trip and wanted to go again the next day at a different resort pool where she stays(i felt sad because she does it with others but not with me) So yesterday we talked over the phone and while on the call she mentioned she put a coin at a guys crack while at a dance party and my head been spinning. I got mad at first “what the fuck you have idea of what you telling me” then i calmed and was like oh okay that’s what u did awkward silence minutes later she ended the call.
I cannot tell her anything she is very stubborn “does not like to be bossed around”
I need help when we are close face to face most of the times it is quite nice in distance we kinda fight, now very long distance she is unrecognizable i do not like her clubbing and she knows yet she has gone to bars and so i am i have been broken i even had suicidal thoughts which is dumb because i am not like that.

Hello everyone, I’m trying to find the name of a frangrance. It is an old one, maybe from 2000.
It had a blueish/greyish bottle with round/oval edges, a metal collar under the sprayer, a metal cylinder shaped cap. The peculiarity is that the cap could be fixed/held/clipped by an U-shaped ring that is attached to the metal collar.
I tryed to draw it here
The scent is somehow elegant and calming, I would wear it for Christmas dinner or other cozy events.

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm RBS, a self-improvement coach, and I've got something special to offer you, absolutely free—no strings attached.
But before I dive into that, let me share a little secret with you. Just a year ago, my life was pretty tough. Every day seemed clouded with negative thoughts, and my relationships, both with myself and others, were strained. Feeling alone and worthless was my norm, and I settled for less because I couldn't believe I deserved any better. It felt like a hopeless cycle.
I was constantly worried that no matter how hard I tried, I'd never measure up. This fear kept me tossing and turning at night. I tried improving myself, but it felt like I was stuck in an uphill battle with no end in sight. I started questioning if all the effort was even worth it. At times, it seemed like my fate was sealed by what I was born with—like success was reserved for the naturally gifted.
But then, something incredible happened about a year ago. Thanks to the grace of Allah (God), my life took a turn. Now, I chase my dreams with an unparalleled drive, exuding confidence and energy like never before! Today, I'm happier and more accomplished than I ever thought possible.
So, what changed in that year? It was surprisingly simple... I stumbled across my mentor.
But why a mentor, you might ask? Having a mentor was a game-changer for me. It wasn't just about getting directions; my mentor provided priceless feedback, drawing from his own life experiences. He has been through it all and knows what worked. When things got tough, he was there to give me that extra push and remind me of my potential.
So, if you're feeling stuck, consider seeking guidance from a mentor. Someone who's been in your shoes and can help you navigate the path ahead. That's why I'm passionate about mentoring others for free!
As a self-improvement coach, I'm dedicated to helping young men transform their lives and become the best versions of themselves. I draw from various sources like books, podcasts, studies, philosophy, and personal research.
