2024.05.01 04:33 Both_Canary1508 Flores island camping — Wild side trail to Gibson marine provincial park
I was wondering if anybody has any experience hiking the wild side trail on Flores island and what exactly the terrain is like from the trail head to Gibson marine provincial park? (The first campsite on the trail) I’ve read that it’s mostly boardwalk with some sections of beach during the first 2km of the trail, and I wanted to see if that was accurate?
Also wondering if anybody has ever shore fished from Flores island and if shore fishing is not allowed outside of the provincial parks? I checked the tidal fishing regulations for the area and the bc parks website and it says I’m good to fish where I’m intending to, but there’s a section of coast in between the two provincial parks on Flores island that is First Nations land and I want to assume that’s a no go, but I figured I’d ask and see anyways? I know that there’s a 15$ fee for hiking through their territory but I don’t imagine it would give me the right to fish there.

2024.05.01 04:33 DeepspaceDigital Man versus the ocean as an analogy for competition - does it make sense?
Do you want to live, or do you need to live? The foaming, salty waves that toss you away from an ever more distant coast want to know. They are curious about what they are up against. This is the ultimate competition after all, the fight for your life, you against the crashing waves. Life is a competition. If you can not swim you drown. Likewise, if you can not compete you lose. Is your relative weakness justification for suffering?
It is not the water’s fault you can’t swim. But the ocean current is so strong that it would not matter if you could. It’s no competition, you’ll never win. The strength of your competitor dictates whether things are competitive. It is illogical to say something void of competitiveness is a competition. A man stranded in the ocean is a tragedy, not a competition. He suffers because he cannot compete. Throughout history that stormy ocean has taken many forms like tycoons during the Gilded Age or modern banks that are too big to fail, and against them the people, like the man helplessly treading water in the big blue sea, have no chance. That does not have to be bad, but the odds are what they are. If you wonder what the terms of this competition even are, you have to dig deeper than the simple life and death of man versus the ocean, but there are many with wages being closest to the surface. Tycoons pay wages, and we always, barring few expectations, want more whether it’s deserved or not. However in this fight you are only a man (or woman), and the corporation is the ocean. You don’t stand a chance.
Helpless and nearing your end, all you can do is recollect on how you got into this cold, wet, and unfortunate competitive position. A boat would’ve been nice, but it’s a ridiculous thought. You know you could never afford one, and no one brings a boat for a day at the beach. Still, you frown while your head lingers above water, knowing that no one with a boat drowns while safely aboard it. Life on the open sea without a boat is no life at all, just as hopeless as homeless life on land. That basic need, that boat, that van to sleep in by the river, that apartment, gives you a chance to compete, at least for a while. No boat, no life; no house, no life. Without life secured, we can not compete to move our lives forward. At some point you’ll need more than just the boat to sit on and not drown, but you will need to catch wind in its sails to get home. Same with home, it gives you a place to eat, rest and recuperate, but on its own it will not pay your bills. Just as how this narrative began, if survival is what you're competing against, you are closer to being an animal than a man. The next homeless person you see, the image they present is of that struggle to hold onto humanity if they haven’t lost it already. Animals can not make it, or compete, in human society just as you’re a fish out of water in the open ocean. To compete we need what Maslow calls basic needs (Physiological, Safety and Security) secured.
You shake your head regretting not grabbing a life jacket before tiptoeing into the beautiful, sparkling ocean. Free will was yours and now slowly sinking with your chin barely above the waves, you wish your choice was forced instead. As they say, pride comes before the fall. Some did grab those red vests, but not you, and those blinking red-and-white buoys fifty yards from shore warned you to stay back, but you floated right besides them anyways. Until the gentle, peaceful land breeze turned into something mean and unforgiving pushing you out to sea; your final destination.
It’s not fair. How were you supposed to know that today, out of all days, was the one day you would need a life jacket? You’ve treaded water by those, now far away, buoys many times before. Why didn’t you check the weather beforehand? But you never check it. You never look around at the sky and the clouds or think of the wind. But you do think about how little control you have on the world around you as you drown and lose your contest with the ocean. The lifeguards could have ordered you to take a life vest and stay close to shore. The weather could have been publicly broadcasted over loud speakers outside. Your need to sacrifice freedom for direct instruction was your final thought. Many don’t have that need, and they are all safe.
The choices we make create our lives and are a part of every competition. Was your sad, fatal final swim a competition you lost because of bad choices or a curse of bad luck? Maybe it was both? If you bring your pepper spray with you on a journey, wherever you might be going, and it saves you, then you are lucky that that which has befallen you was countered by your only countermeasure. Accidents and disasters happen, and often our only error in being caught by one is bad luck. What is pepper spray going to do if that perpetrator you subdued before had a gun? We do not check building codes ourselves before entering offices to make sure we are safe if an earthquake hits. Someone else does. Just as there are police for security and lights so we can see at night. When there is a common enemy, like crime or natural disasters, the competition becomes a collective effort against those shared foes. The collective battle to minimize the effect of forces we can’t control, and lower the occurrence and magnitude for ones we do benefits all. Laws which control our behavior, and services like loud tornado warnings are examples of this. When the enemy is shared amongst a group or community, the process of competing benefits all. But our choices still remain our responsibility.
They define us. You didn’t want to drown and die. But you were helpless to satisfy that desire. Someone else needed to have that want, or need, for that wish to come true. That choice was theirs. And your greatest love made her choice, and dove into the threatening waves determined to save you. So many of us do the same thing, maybe to a different extent, in following our hearts instead of our minds. When passion is calling the shots, we care less about what we are up against. Because with leaving rationale behind, we in effect marginalize the competition. Your soulmate didn’t care about the distance or the storm between you and her, only that she loves you. An entrepreneur passionate for success buys and fixes up houses where no one wants to live. Passion was the fuel that drove the home-fixer to create supply where there was no demand. His competitor was market forces, and he was overcome by them, just as the heavy waves will bring your girlfriend’s untimely end.
One could say desperation is a certain type of passion. When desperate for money, notoriety, or anything, like with passion, if that desperation is the driving force behind our choice, we also choose to ignore or devalue the competition we face. Your girl drowning in tears watching you drown from the shore, decided to take her tears into an unconquerable sea. A desperate guy hoping to make something, anything, of his life puts all his savings into meme stocks. Putting himself at the mercy of the meme and the market. What we are seeing is that even though we care, the competition does not have to. Passion and desperation are extremely subjective and variable things. But they are unavoidable human emotions. Wouldn’t the nature of competition improve if the competition cared as well? Would the ocean take the sad young lady’s life if it felt her sadness? Would the market cause ruin if its designers cared enough about its participants to safeguard them from risky speculation and seeking inorganic alpha?
If a grocery store curbed its prices to ease the financial burden on its customers, it would show they cared about the well-being of (their) consumers. However, grocers are competitors as well; with each other. This certain grocer that chooses to price in a way that is contrary to the market, becomes less competitive itself because it is running low on inventory without the money to restock and satisfy creditors. If they keep prices low, enough funds will not be generated to run the business. Therefore, the good done was an antonym to being competitive. Take a look at the other side of the competition, the other grocers, they know further laws that are passed to protect that friendly grocer and bring the entire industry under the same set of rules or prices will not benefit them competitively. So it is in their competitive interest to lobby or advocate against changes that would benefit consumers and the friendly grocery store. The competitive incentive for them is to pursue evil selfishness. Competition at its root is only about success and failure, winning or losing, and is not concerned with good and evil.
But winning is good so all appears fine. Wars are won, and while sometimes necessary (an opinion), it takes destruction, death, and despair to get there. War is a competition like business or a race. None of those things are naturally good. Even with a race, you could be leaving behind important responsibilities to train for it. The pursuit of the win has to be part of the win since its accomplishment cannot happen without it. Meaning winning is a successful achievement but not necessarily good. Since competition is neither inherently good nor cares, something else has to provide that to competition.
Laws control outcomes and behaviors. Earlier, laws were shown to assist in our battle to survive, like with the building codes in our collective effort against natural disasters. Laws can cause institutions and communities to emulate caring, or be ethical. For example, if a business needs to employ children at harsh wages to be maximally competitive, then that competition needs to change on account of child labor being a terrible thing. Once child labor is gone and new terms are set, a better competition, through laws, is made. We hope it’s for the better like that, but it is also true it can sometimes be for the worse, which is often subjective. Laws create the competitive environment.
A king is the law. He is everything, and wins all anthropomorphic-based competitions. A mad king that wants his subjects to live in specific places, in chosen neighborhoods can do so unlike the solo entrepreneur. If someone is stranded at sea, he can choose whether or not that person is saved. The market and the prices of everything are based on his whim or wisdom. The king can do no wrong, since he can’t be punished. The king is like the untamed ocean. He can not be defeated. The king is your too big to fail business that can hold your economy hostage if in need of a bailout. One can not force a king to issue or change a law without war. No one can do anything the king doesn’t want them doing. Great power can not be competed against because they control the competition. Even if a law is passed it must be enforced. Power controls laws, and therefore, with his power a king is the law.
Far below his castle down in the village, outside the city gates, is a starving man competing at the game of life. It is the king’s competition. Whatever chance this tired, weary man has or lacks comes from the rules and laws that create the system set by the king or whoever or whatever wields that power. Since competition doesn’t care, and it does not matter if you, this starving man, or your girlfriend lost to the ocean's depth does. The king has to and the system he manifests to conduct this orchestra dictates nothing short of the nature of life. Economics is life, but the terms of competition is how we live it.

2024.05.01 04:33 wwy009 Rachel’s Eyes and Legs
 | (Short version of the theory is at the very end.) submitted by wwy009 to TowerofGod [link] [comments] I always wanted to write about the conversation that happened between Rachel and Hwaryun in the Hell Train (S2 E156) when Rachel’s team was about to unseal Hoaqin: Rachel: If I wasn’t born to become a heroine from the beginning, all I needed was people who do send me to the top of the tower. In this awful darkness if I break my legs, I will find the one who will walk for me, if I go blind, I will find the one who will see for me. If my thorn breaks, I will find the one who will be my thorn. All I need to do is find them. The guy behind that door right now is the one who will be my first thorn. (Just a quick note about the “thorn” that Rachel mentioned in her conversation was 바늘 (baneul) aka “needle”. So, her actual dialogue was “If my needle breaks...” and so on.) It is self-evident that Rachel is talking about people with power who will figuratively be her eyes, legs and/or weapon. Also, she is saying that if she were to lose her eyes or legs figuratively, she would find new ones. So, my theory is about what Rachel considers her eyes and legs. She considers her light bearer abilities as her eyes: To explain this we must consider what a light bearer does. In brief words, light bearers are the ones who light up the dark tower, collect battle data, and send it to the scout. (Leroro-S1 E28) The battles in the tower are mostly fought in dark places, and it is tough to battle without light bearers. Hence, we can say that they play the role of the "eyes" and make visibility possible for others when the battles are fought in darkness. Even in general, since they are the ones who must collect battle data to form strategies for their team, they must literally be the eyes of the team. Even Quant teaches Shibisu during the Hide-and-Seek Game(S1 E37) that the best thing a scout can do is get rid of the enemy’s eyes, aka their lighthouse. (and poof, he destroyed Khun’s lighthouse) S1 E37 Quant is talking with Shibisu We have moments(like two at best) in the story where we see Rachel using her lighthouse for surveillance. For example, in the FoD arc, Rachel is listening and, I believe, seeing the conversation between Khun and Hwaryun. S2 E249 – Hwaryun is talking with Khun and the “she” that’s mentioned is Yuri. Then, in one of the recent chapters we also see Rachel using her lighthouses to find someone or something to get her and Yura out of Sprout. Basically, she is on a lookout for her and her only team member. (S3 E188) S3 E188 Rachel using her lighthouse Then we also have Rachel using her lighthouse to brighten a dark place. (S3 186) S3 E186 She considers Emile as her legs: So, I have thought about who from Rachel's handful of teammates could be her legs, and Emile, the artificial guide, only makes the most sense. Once again, I am referring to a Hwaryun-Rachel conversation, this time from S2 E160. This conversation happens after Hoaqin is unsealed, and Rachel is sharing her room with Hwaryun. Hwaryun asks Rachel if she thinks Emile will help her win Hoaqin's heart, and Rachel responds by reflecting on why she became like this, thinking about what she truly hates about Baam and what she wanted to take from him. I will add the whole conversation for context, but I only want to focus on the bolded dialogue where Rachel described Emily's usage for her. Hwaryun: Do you really think… that thing will help you win over… Hoaqin’s heart? Rachel: Well… Truthfully… After pushing Baam that day… I thought about why… I became like this… What did I hate about Baam so much, and what did I want to take away from him. And I came to think it was… the friends who were always by his side… I think I was envious of him for that. Although I am not good enough… this device gives me the power to bring people together. I don’t care how I do it… and I don’t care if it’s not true friendship. As long as I can gather people who I can rely on… It’s all good even if it’s a fake friendship. So, instead of going out physically to gather people, Rachel uses the Emily app to talk, reach out and possibly meet people. Even in the recent chapter, she reaches out to Goruro, whom she has never met, to get her and Yura out of the Sprout. (S3 E188) S3 E188 This is Rachel's text on Goruro's(lizard branch head) cell phone In addition to reaching out to people, Emily can also track users who used the application. This is mentioned after the Dallar show arc/game ends when Team Rachel teleports far away from Team Baam. In this scene, Rachel asks Hoaqin to be her subordinate, a fateful loyal sword(weapon). Of course, this makes Hoaqin furious, and before he can speak up, she raises up her phone and says(S2 E196): Rachel: Do you know what this is? It’s an ‘app’ that tells me where your clones are. Actually, we were the ones who went around releasing your clones after you were unleashed. Using Shinsu, Emily can track the moment of every human she comes into contact with. The same applies for your clones. The tracking feature is shown on the Floor of Death arc when Rachel tracks Hockney to get to the thorn’s location via Baam.(S2 E244) S2 E244 Rachel getting Emily's notification S2 E244 Rachel and her team heading to the Spirit room with Karaka So, along with data gathering and communicating, Emily can also track people for Rachel instead of, you know, her going out and keeping an eye out for people. (Of course, there are limitations to the tracking function. The limitations that I could think of are: the user should be in range, there should be signal, there should be at least one person who used the Emily app, and Rachel should know about the said person's username.) Additional Thoughts: Rachel’s team also has Yura Ha as a light bearer, but the eye things apply more to Rachel than Yura. Throughout the story Yura has been shown using her lighthouse mainly for teleportation and to block enemy’s Shinsu control she hasn’t been shown using it to light up an area or even to gather information. They are both shown planning and plotting but the main mastermind of the team is Rachel. Then, I also thought about whether Emily could be Rachel's eyes. However, it doesn't make sense since Emily is something that can be used to deceive so Rachel's enemies could use it to deceive her. Also, Emily felt more like a data-gathering scout and a scout for tracking others (I don't know if those two things go hand in hand, so please don't kill me.). Interestingly enough, Rachel/Yura didn't use Emily to reach the Sprout entrance, so I am guessing the path to the Sprout’s entrance is way older than Emily's existence. Short version: The eyes and legs Rachel talked about in her S2 E156 conversation with Hwaryun were about her light-bearer abilities(eyes) and Emile(legs). |
2024.05.01 04:32 AdRadiant6618 Mystery autoimmune issue?
Hi everyone sorry for the long read. I’m a 22 yo female, I’ve had a mystery disease(?) for as long as I can remember that no doctor has been able to diagnose. I’ve been through the same process of testing over and over, and I’ve never gotten answers. Anyways, I’m going through yet another round of tests and I’m waiting for my appointment to talk about the results, but I’m nervous they’ll again just say they have no clue and give up on it.
That being said, I’m here because I’d like to get some ideas on possible diagnoses to ask the dr about or tips on where to go (referrals or tests to ask for) from here so I can advocate for myself in this appointment, cause I don’t think I can accept another “idk I give up” for the millionth time.
So here’s the info
Symptoms, not sure if it’s all related or separate issues: - chronic neck and back pain - Hip pain that goes down to my knee (sciatic?) only on right side - Chronic headaches - Chilblains on toes - Red sometimes itchy scaly, circular patches along tops of arms from wrists to shoulders. Does not get better from lotion or other ointments - Red dry patch on cheeks under my eyes down to my mouth and outwards, it’s constantly there. Always thought this was eczema but it doesn’t respond to medication for it, so thinking maybe it’s something else or related. - Easily lightheaded, almost daily. I have fainted on a few occasions for unknown reasons but it’s rare. - Occasional bouts of globus sensation and dysphagia, last one lasted 4-5 months.
My most severe symptom is my neck pain and headaches, which have been around since I was very young and I struggle with them daily.
My most recent relevant positive blood results:
Side note - I’m in Canada so that means seeing any sort of specialist is incredibly difficult. I have a referral for a rheumatologist but have been waiting over 2 years and don’t foresee I get in any time soon. I’m also willing to provide photos of the skin issues if anyone needs to see to get a better idea, just dm me :)
Anywho, I very much appreciate any help I can get with this. Thanks so much!

Symptoms, not sure if it’s all related or separate issues: - chronic neck and back pain - Hip pain that goes down to my knee (sciatic?) only on right side - Chronic headaches - Chilblains on toes - Red sometimes itchy scaly, circular patches along tops of arms from wrists to shoulders. Does not get better from lotion or other ointments - Red dry patch on cheeks under my eyes down to my mouth and outwards, it’s constantly there. Always thought this was eczema but it doesn’t respond to medication for it, so thinking maybe it’s something else or related. - Easily lightheaded, almost daily. I have fainted on a few occasions for unknown reasons but it’s rare. - Occasional bouts of globus sensation and dysphagia, last one lasted 4-5 months.
My most severe symptom is my neck pain and headaches, which have been around since I was very young and I struggle with them daily.
My most recent relevant positive blood results:
- C Reactive Protein 33.3 mg/L
- Anti-Nuclear Antibodies Titre 1:80 Comment: Nucleolar pattern. Antibodies may be reactive against PM/Scl, Th/To, B23/nucleophosmin, nucleolin, No55/SC65, U3-snoRNP/fibrillarin, Scl-70. These autoantibodies are associated with systemic sclerosis and systemic sclerosis/polymyositis overlap syndrome. (ICAP AC-08/-09)
Side note - I’m in Canada so that means seeing any sort of specialist is incredibly difficult. I have a referral for a rheumatologist but have been waiting over 2 years and don’t foresee I get in any time soon. I’m also willing to provide photos of the skin issues if anyone needs to see to get a better idea, just dm me :)
Anywho, I very much appreciate any help I can get with this. Thanks so much!
2024.05.01 04:31 InitialAvailable9153 We are constantly aware of the state of our skeleton
I really suck at explaining things but I'll try to illustrate it clearly.
So when I was 10 (17 years ago) I got a concussion from a helmet to helmet hit playing football and it threw my spine out of alignment which I know now because I finally went to get X-rays. I had scoliosis and spondylosis with a discret antiletheses at L5-S1 which is the most common location for an injury of that type. That's the term in French it seems like a slipped disk but I haven't been able to get a proper translation.
Anyway after that I just stopped feeling like myself and I had suicidal thoughts just general disconnect and things I called depression and anxiety. I still have some of those feelings but I feel it's because my body is broken.
Like I'm really not exaggerating when I say I feel like I can't feel my legs. When I walk it's like a floating midsection on broken feet and I walk kinda funny and it really sucks cause I can tell other people can see me walking weirdly. It's almost like my hips are disconnected from my pelvis which I also can't feel. Also my head literally feels like it's on backwards. Finally my head feels crushed on the right side so I have no sticky ness to my eyes. They're constantly like deer in headlights. Or lights are on but nobodies home.
The point I'm getting at is maybe I'm literally observing myself correctly.
I think my body got misaligned before puberty and because I didn't heal it in time it grew like a tree around a bike that was left against it.
It makes me think that this is the ONLY issue there is.
And I don't mean like blindness, like things we know about.
I'm talking about when people are just generally depressed with no obvious reasons. I wonder what number of people are in therapy and really need physiotherapy because I was there too. I thought my problems were all mental.
Think about the majority of homeless people you see, they walk kinda funny.
And I don't say that to poke fun, but to notice something real.
Your mind and mentality take the shape of your body.
You can imagine other things and delude yourself but you are only as good as the shape you're in.
Which even that word we use. Get in shape.
And you tell people "pull it together" when they're losing it.
I think we have a constant map of.our body and some of us have limbs missing from the mental map even if they're still connected to the body.
Anyway I really think there's something to this, I know I should be trying to understand it better to write a book or something so I can profit off it but I really just want the world to be in a better place cause I kinda hate it here rn. God will provide for me anyway.
Hopefully I didn't yap your ear off and hopefully the message reached you.
Peace out.

2024.05.01 04:30 can_i_change_this_ How to celebrate this Mother’s Day with my mom who was recently diagnosed
Hello,
I hope this is something I can ask here. My mom was diagnosed last week with ovarian cancer. It was so unexpected as we don’t have a family history of this and she thought they were cysts.
Her surgery to remove her tumor(s) is this upcoming week, right before Mother’s Day. What can I do to still celebrate her and make her comfortable? As in something that might reduce her pain or the fact that she may not be able to go out for a bit.
I am open to any suggestions for gadgets, medicine, food, drink, etc. I just really want her to feel good after the entire ordeal.
Many thanks to all of you, cancer fucking sucks.

2024.05.01 04:30 tungstenoriginals Shimoda Urban Explore or Explore V2?
Hi everyone. I'm looking to purchase a camera backpack and am stuck between the Shimoda Urban Explore and the Shimoda Explore V2. I'm a film photography hobbyist and primarily love hiking with my cameras. Just day hikes that are a few hours long, nothing too serious. I've been using a nice Osprey hiking backpack for my gear but need/want a real camera backpack for everyday use, hiking, and some upcoming international travel.
The Urban Explore is my dream bag in so many ways:
The Explore V2 is an obvious choice as it's more geared for the level of hiking I do, but it falls short (to me) in a few ways:
I've watched seemingly every YouTube review of these bags and keep flip flopping my decision, so any advice is very much appreciated!
Here's what I'll be packing:
side note: I'm partially considering buying both, trying them out, and returning the one I don't want, but I would love to avoid all that!
submitted by tungstenoriginals to Photography_Gear [link] [comments]
The Urban Explore is my dream bag in so many ways:
- Design (doesn't scream camera bag)
- Not a ton of straps that get in the way (that's always annoyed me about other bags)
- Right amount of space for the small amount of gear I have
- Capture clip mounting strap is a godsend
- Stowaway side pockets
- and many more features that I love
The Explore V2 is an obvious choice as it's more geared for the level of hiking I do, but it falls short (to me) in a few ways:
- More exterior straps than I want/need
- No capture clip mounting strap (this is a big con for me)
- Luggage passthrough isn't as nice as Urban Explore
- I much prefer the overall design of the Urban Explore
I've watched seemingly every YouTube review of these bags and keep flip flopping my decision, so any advice is very much appreciated!
Here's what I'll be packing:
- Mamiya RB67 w/ extra back
- Pentax K1000
- Small point and shoot
- Fuji X100VI
- Plenty of 35mm and 120 film
- Peak Design travel tripod
- Water bottle (ideally 40oz)
- 15.6" M1 MBP (sometimes)

2024.05.01 04:30 edenjamieson Baby Shower HELP
Hey everyone,
My mom is wanting to throw me a baby shower but got super offended when I mentioned someone I’d want to be there. She said it’s not proper etiquette to invite someone since she’s the one hosting. She said I have no say in who comes and she gets to invite whoever she wants. She will not consult with me and ask me if there is anyone I want there, like a few of my close friends. She was very offended and said it’s bad etiquette to assume I can invite someone.
I looked it up online and ACTUALLY proper etiquette states that the mom-to-be helps make the guest list to ensure that her friends are invited. I haven’t brought those articles to my mom yet but I KNOW she won’t listen to me. And I don’t know what to do. I know I’m lucky that she wants to throw a party at all, but I also hurt because I feel like she’s not caring about anything I want, and it’s my shower not hers even though she is hosting.
Did anyone else deal with this? What did you do? I’ve struggled one sided with our relationship for a long time, I can’t do anything right and she’s already started judging me on things I’ve decided to do/not do during pregnancy.
Help 😕

2024.05.01 04:29 racherton When grief and social anxiety collide
My mil died last night. She was in hospice so not exactly a surprise but she was pretty healthy and happy until glioblastoma happened about a year and a half ago. I'm just devastated. She was a great mil, not at all one of those justno types you may hear about it know personally. I've known her for most of my life and it just feels so unfair for her health and life to unravel so quickly.
And this is selfish of me but I am so stressed out about the funeral. Funerals on this side of the family are so huge because it's a big family and my mil had a ton of friends. The idea of being at this funeral and having to talk and hug and be around all this people is deeply undesirable to me. I get sensory overwhelmed so easily. And the idea of being around everyone and the very likely possiblity that I'm going to get emotional and cry publicly is so a deeply upseting thought to me.
Mil is being cremated but I learned that fil wanted the body to be present for the visitation and while I shouldn't be upset because it's not my place I'm upset. I don't want to see the body. Don't want that to be my last vision of her or risk remembering her that way. And I will try not to look but this funeral home has an annoying knack of putting the body right in front of the entrance and in the past even when I avoid looking that way someone (usually an old little lady) will march me up to look at the damned body. It's just so weird and upsetting.
And now I have one of her friend couples blowing up my Facebook messages wanting me to call them tonight when Tuesday is the busiest night of the week for me because of endless activities to taxi to and from. They are photographers and wanted me to call them back and answer questions for a video they are doing for the visitation? Like WTF how about you give us a little godamned time and space before demanding I call you. There is no godamned way these questions couldn't be asked and answered over messages why you gotta insist I call. I fucking hate answering questions over the phone it puts me on the spot and I don't communicate well that way. And plus even before today I was drowning from the million other things I needed to take care of (many of which need attended to now right now of course) l. So I'm angrily ignoring that request. At least until tomorrow when I've calmed down a bit.
Sorry this was so long. I guess the tldr is I hate dealing with the death of someone close to me and not even being able to choose the way I grieve. The etiquette and expectations surrounding funerals and everything else just adds a whole new layer of suck.

2024.05.01 04:27 jk-elemenopea 2 weeks and…?
And I already KNOW I won’t go back. 🙅🏼♀️
I’m so much happier, I don’t have any cravings whatsoever, and I’m prioritizing the right things in my life again.
Someone on here posted about the need to build a sober life (rather than just being sober) and that has helped immensely. I don’t even think about alcohol while I’m so busy and content with activities. My days have so much more time that I can fill with working out, reading, friends/family, cooking, gardening, 3D printing, art, meditation, and music. I’m actually succeeding at work, and finally building up my side business. I doubled my income with my new job, and I’m getting a LLC y’all! Single woman here and I’m amazed that I’ll be buying a house in the next year. In HCOL, California? Nuts!!!
The other helpful aspect to locking in sobriety is the stark contrast between my 9 sober months last year and my past wet 6 months being absolutely miserable. In just 2 weeks my anxiety is down, I’m finally getting some semblance of sleep, I’m less depressed, and I see things much more clearly. I’m quickly remembering just how awesome being sober was. I can’t believe just 2 weeks ago I felt so powerless that I was having major SI.
Glad my relapse was only 6 months and I’m glad I hit rock bottom including a health scare (them liver enzymes don’t lie) to top it off. It was the universe’s way of nudging me along.
I’m sorry if any of this comes off as a humblebrag. Just really excited to be enjoying my life again. Pink cloud maybe? Not important— after being miserable, I’m happy to steep in this elated feeling. I remember how awesome my fighting spirit can be.
I’ll continue to do my check-ins because I love being part of this community. Best corner of the internet. Thank you for the motivation and support. 💕

2024.05.01 04:26 Fickle-Language-3619 got fired through text today at a new job, feeling like shit about it
Honestly i’m so upset rn bc this job search has been long asf. I live in nyc & got hired at a restaurant / bar last week. This was for a seasonal outdoor patio position & if you know the weather in nyc rn it’s pretty weird that last week of april first week of may. some days it’s cold as fuck & rainy & other days it feels like summer.
When i went on my interview with the owner she made it clear that i had gotten the job. When i went in for my first shift i was told that she’d train me for 2 hours then i’d have to ask the bartenders any questions i had for the rest of my shift. we had a health inspection so i only trained with her for 1 hour. ( they haven’t had a seasonal server since last summer so no one else could train me)
the rest of the night was kind of chaotic because even though i know how to serve/talk to customers i had no training whatsoever on their POS & basically had to train myself the entire night since the bartenders were slammed & annoyed when i kept asking them questions about the menu or POS.
i got called in for a sunday shift & another girl was there. we both got there at 12, she got cut at 4 & i stood til 10. there are 24 outdoor tables total including some 6 tops. when she left each table got filled by customers & i had to literally serve 24 tables at once by myself. is that normal? i had a customer nicely ask me why i was alone & why there wasn’t another server on the shift. he literally said “ it’s crazy they have you alone right now with all these guests you definitely should not be doing all of this alone”.
idk why they cut the girl so early when it picked up right after she left & got even busier from when we both started. i honestly did my best. i actually thought i was doing good for the amount of tables the place had. yes i couldn’t give every single table as much attention as i wanted to bc there were so many , i may have forgot to put in 2 kitchen orders that day, but i did my fucking best man .
btw , this was day 2 & i still had gotten no official training. the owner showed us some things here and there on the POS when we had questions but me & this new girl were basically helping each other out up until she got cut & kind of figuring shit out on our own.
i also want to mention i never received a clock in # or a schedule. the schedule bc the weather has been unpredictable & she said i’d only come in on days where it was warm out & when the weather was nice. in my previous jobs sometimes i’d go a week without receiving a clock in # but i would still get paid & continue to work there so i honestly didn’t think anything of it. i know owners are extremely busy & wasn’t really stressing it too much since it was obvious i had gotten the job.
so i get this text today from the owner:
Hi Jane Doe, (fake name) I want to thank you for the work you put in, particularly Sunday, which was a very challenging day and your efforts did not go unnoticed. I need someone with more experience at this time. As you’ve seen, it’s a very independent environment and we need someone who is currently in the industry and who has a greater knowledge of alcohol, making drink recommendations and multi tasking. You are nothing but lovely and again I thank you for your hard work. You will of course be paid for all of your hourly and tips. I am happy to pay you in whatever way you prefer, so whether that be a mailed check, or Venmo, or if you want to pick up your pay. Let me know and I will see it through. Thank you.
i responded with :
uhh i guess i can pick it up because i don’t have venmo & i can’t wait for a check to be mailed. tbh i wish you would’ve gave me a chance though. When i was serving on sunday i had multiple tables ask me why there wasn’t another server on the shift & people asking me why i was alone. I could have all the experience in the world but you can’t expect 1 person to serve almost 30 tables by themselves & not have another person on the shift, it’s too much for a person. I didn’t really even receive proper training the first day i basically had to train myself because you left & the bartenders were slammed & the second day you cut the other girl around 4pm but then it picked up right after that. If i knew i didn’t 100% have the job i could’ve probably found something else by now but you had me waiting around because of the weather situation it’s just kind of fucked up in my opinion, you should’ve kept it real from the start & told me you wanted to train me & see how things would go from there. I think if you gave me a couple days i would’ve been just fine but like you didn’t really even give me a chance to prove myself. How can i make drink recommendations when i’ve only worked 2 shifts & you have 50 beers on the menu? Like come on now.
I will have it ready for you for pick up for tomorrow and you can pick it up then or when you are ready or when it is convenient. Make no mistake, you were put to task on Sunday and yes, on a completely challenging day and you were a great sport. I truly appreciate your work ethic. I am doing what I feel I need to do for the business going forward. It wasn’t about knowing everything on day 1 by any means. I wish you nothing but the best and I hope you find a job you enjoy and that makes you lots of money as soon as possible.
i just feel so shitty because i’ve worked in high volume places before without issues, the most i’ve had to handle at a time at my last job was 18 tables ( all full ) & by myself. my manager was always on my side though & aware that she needed to hire a second server . i only had to do that up until we hired someone else, but even she knew it was too much for one person. i just don’t understand why this place thought that would be humanly possible especially with more tables. i feel like shit because i really did try my best and i thought it was enough but apparently it wasn’t .

When i went on my interview with the owner she made it clear that i had gotten the job. When i went in for my first shift i was told that she’d train me for 2 hours then i’d have to ask the bartenders any questions i had for the rest of my shift. we had a health inspection so i only trained with her for 1 hour. ( they haven’t had a seasonal server since last summer so no one else could train me)
the rest of the night was kind of chaotic because even though i know how to serve/talk to customers i had no training whatsoever on their POS & basically had to train myself the entire night since the bartenders were slammed & annoyed when i kept asking them questions about the menu or POS.
i got called in for a sunday shift & another girl was there. we both got there at 12, she got cut at 4 & i stood til 10. there are 24 outdoor tables total including some 6 tops. when she left each table got filled by customers & i had to literally serve 24 tables at once by myself. is that normal? i had a customer nicely ask me why i was alone & why there wasn’t another server on the shift. he literally said “ it’s crazy they have you alone right now with all these guests you definitely should not be doing all of this alone”.
idk why they cut the girl so early when it picked up right after she left & got even busier from when we both started. i honestly did my best. i actually thought i was doing good for the amount of tables the place had. yes i couldn’t give every single table as much attention as i wanted to bc there were so many , i may have forgot to put in 2 kitchen orders that day, but i did my fucking best man .
btw , this was day 2 & i still had gotten no official training. the owner showed us some things here and there on the POS when we had questions but me & this new girl were basically helping each other out up until she got cut & kind of figuring shit out on our own.
i also want to mention i never received a clock in # or a schedule. the schedule bc the weather has been unpredictable & she said i’d only come in on days where it was warm out & when the weather was nice. in my previous jobs sometimes i’d go a week without receiving a clock in # but i would still get paid & continue to work there so i honestly didn’t think anything of it. i know owners are extremely busy & wasn’t really stressing it too much since it was obvious i had gotten the job.
so i get this text today from the owner:
Hi Jane Doe, (fake name) I want to thank you for the work you put in, particularly Sunday, which was a very challenging day and your efforts did not go unnoticed. I need someone with more experience at this time. As you’ve seen, it’s a very independent environment and we need someone who is currently in the industry and who has a greater knowledge of alcohol, making drink recommendations and multi tasking. You are nothing but lovely and again I thank you for your hard work. You will of course be paid for all of your hourly and tips. I am happy to pay you in whatever way you prefer, so whether that be a mailed check, or Venmo, or if you want to pick up your pay. Let me know and I will see it through. Thank you.
i responded with :
uhh i guess i can pick it up because i don’t have venmo & i can’t wait for a check to be mailed. tbh i wish you would’ve gave me a chance though. When i was serving on sunday i had multiple tables ask me why there wasn’t another server on the shift & people asking me why i was alone. I could have all the experience in the world but you can’t expect 1 person to serve almost 30 tables by themselves & not have another person on the shift, it’s too much for a person. I didn’t really even receive proper training the first day i basically had to train myself because you left & the bartenders were slammed & the second day you cut the other girl around 4pm but then it picked up right after that. If i knew i didn’t 100% have the job i could’ve probably found something else by now but you had me waiting around because of the weather situation it’s just kind of fucked up in my opinion, you should’ve kept it real from the start & told me you wanted to train me & see how things would go from there. I think if you gave me a couple days i would’ve been just fine but like you didn’t really even give me a chance to prove myself. How can i make drink recommendations when i’ve only worked 2 shifts & you have 50 beers on the menu? Like come on now.
- by the way they actually have 50 beer options to be exact, i wasn’t just saying that **
I will have it ready for you for pick up for tomorrow and you can pick it up then or when you are ready or when it is convenient. Make no mistake, you were put to task on Sunday and yes, on a completely challenging day and you were a great sport. I truly appreciate your work ethic.

2024.05.01 04:26 SelectionNo2322 Could this be Chiari?
I (23f) have been having a lot of neurological symptoms for the past 6 months. Headaches, vertigo, fainting, neck pain, suddenly losing the ability to lift my right arm over my head, unable to pick up a coffee cup with right side, pins and needles/numbness in my arms, etc.
I had a cervical mri that came back normal, but imo things look kind of idk, "crowded" at the base of my skull. I think it could be chiari but wouldn't the radiologist have noted that in the report?

2024.05.01 04:24 lushgreenland Grieving a breakup while in a relationship
Two nights ago I ended a year long friendship with someone that I fell in love with despite being in a long term relationship. We confessed our feelings for each other and turns out we had been experiencing the same exact things for each other the entire time. We spent one whole day together, hiking, eating, talking and then watched the sun set on a hill somewhere. It was amazing. Nothing happened that crossed any boundaries, but it made it clear how hard it was going to be to remain friends. Especially for him, because he needs to move on and probably can't do that if he has any false hope.
Although I mentioned how impossible it was for us to ever be together several times, I guess he still had hope after the night ended. his texts in the morning made that clear. I called him that night to end things and it was the most painful thing ever. he said he wasnt mad at me but I could tell he was. I dont know if he will ever get back to a place of being able to still have some form of connection with me. It has been really hard realizing this is the end.
It is even harder when I realize my partner has no idea anything that is going on. He doesnt notice how distant I've been or distracted or depressed. I guess I can fake things fairly well. I've had to basically stuff all of my feelings down inside for the past couple weeks when everything was unraveling. As a result I feel totally numb. when I get large blocks of time to myself I start to feel everything again and then it isnt long before I have to bottle it all back up. I have talked to a friend about it all, but it is hard to get sympathy when your going through a not-real-breakup behind your partner's back. of course I feel guilty. but I also dont, because I did the right thing and I am paying the price. I dont regret anything I did, other than the fact that opening everything up made it impossible to have this person in my life.
but maybe I had to blow it all up or it would continue to be this crush that teases me in the background while my real relationship suffers.
anyways, I guess I just needed a place to let out some of this grief over someone who really made my soul sing for a little while. I miss you so much. I too wonder what could have been. I hope we can stay in each other's lives somehow.

2024.05.01 04:23 Funny-Barnacle1291 Can AS cause this?
Posting on behalf of my partner (25F), who has had escalating back problems for about two years, and prior to that hip pain that has got progressively worse since she was about 16/17. I’m writing this as I feel quite desperate and we’re not getting answers from medical professionals. We don’t know what could be causing this or what to be asking about with consultants, or what the treatment plan could look like beyond pain injections. Worried pain is being treated without intervention.
I’m sorry if this isn’t the right place but I have been reading up on ankylosing spondylitis as prior to it getting this bad, she usually experienced the worst symptoms upon resting or in the mornings and it got better with gentle exercise. Now they’re bad all of the time and her mobility is really preventing her doing much, she is doing physio exercises and yoga regularly but it only gives short term minor relief. She also has a spotty history as a child due to parents not taking her to doctors. She hasn’t had a full back MRI, just lumbar and hip.
She had her lumbar and hip MRI back and it indicates: - Mild lumbar scoliosis to the left - Loss of curvature in spine - 3 nerve root compressions (L5, S1 and S3) - Disc bulge at L4-L5 indenting the thecal sac - Disc protrusion at L5-S1 compressing the thecal sac - Facet joint degeneration at L4-L5 to L5-S1 - Moderate to severe spinal canal stenosis - Hip bursitis in both hips.
She’s only 25 and a healthy weight, she has been seen by pain management as an urgent case (on gabapentin, codeine & waiting for nerve root injections) but GP still haven’t referred to neurology or rheumatology and there seems to be no urgency in understanding the cause. She pushed for some blood tests and is pushing for the referral. Pain management consultant has consistently warned of red flags for Cauda equina.
This seems really quite a lot for a 25 year old. Prior to all this she was active, swimming, cycling and dog walking so nothing too high impact at all. She has lost a huge amount of her mobility. There was no injury or trauma which took place, other than the dog pulling on the lead suddenly about 6 months ago but this was already an issue she had seen her GP about multiple times and it just made it worse.
I appreciate many might not know and it may not be the right place, but I am worried for her. The MRI results were months ago and only now has she seen it after having to make two formal requests to the GP, when informed of the results a few months ago she was only told she has spinal stenosis and a disc bulge which is obviously an understatement so this is all quite a shock.
Some of her symptoms include: - Severe lower back pain - Severe sciatica on right - Foot and leg numbness and weakness - Stooped posture - Foot drop - Severe fatigue - Ongoing and fluctuating hip pain - Knee pain at the front and bottom of the knee - Inflammation and swelling at various sites on the back - Shoulder pain, raised shoulder blade on left - Loss of mobility due to weakness, pain and stiffness. Using crutches and walking stick - Sudden rapid weight loss in the last two months (dropped at least a dress size when lifestyle is increasingly sedentary and no change to eating habits)
If anyone has had similar or went through similar, please do share.
If this isn’t the right place I apologise.

2024.05.01 04:22 DoNotMindMe1111 How To Play!
Thank you for downloading Fun and Games with FunBun! While playing, you and your lovable rabbit friend will go through countless minigames. Each copy of the game, and the minigames it has within, is different for each person so every player can have a unique experience!
Unfortunately, that’s become a problem as of late, as we seem to have discovered multiple… glitches and bugs that we didn’t program in. Before playing, here are some things to keep in mind to tell what’s meant to happen and what‘s a glitch. Just know that there might be a glitch on this page, too, which caused some more words to be added. Stop reading after you reach section 8.
1, Meet Our Hero: Make sure to remember the iconic appearance of our adorable protagonist, FunBun! He’s a short, humanoid rabbit with golden fur, long and floppy ears, a wide smile, cartoonish eyes, white gloves, red shoes, and brown spots around his eyes, ears and stomach. He’s usually wearing a red bowtie and his gloves and shoes never come off, but if his outfit changes throughout the game, or he’s wearing a different outfit when you boot up your copy, that’s completely normal! Just know that his body isn’t supposed to change even slightly. If his smile is wide to the point it looks like it should be painful, if his ears are a bit too long and thin, if his gloves and shoes look less like accessories and more like part of his body, if he can’t take his eyes off you, it might be best to stop playing.
2, Learn His Abilities: FunBun can use his ears like appendages to pick up objects! Just remember, other than that, they’re supposed to stay low to the ground and not move. If they can’t stop wriggling, something has gone wrong. And although he has dialogue that’s directed towards you while you’re playing the game, and he tends to ask you questions on what to do next, he isn’t supposed to ask you anything personal about yourself. Although, sometimes, it won’t even need to ask. And remember, it’s okay if he asks you to input your first name. You should only be worried if it asks for your middle and last name, too.
3, Play Games: The game randomly generates endless minigames for you so the fun can last forever! You’ll be guiding FunBun through each one. These games might include singing, dancing, slaying a dragon, adventuring through space, and so much more! Just know that you’re only supposed to be controlling FunBun. If the game creates its own avatar for you, one that looks just like you, stop playing immediately. It won’t be safe to turn off the game at this point, so just don’t let your character move. It will eventually decide to try something else, and the avatar will disappear.
4, Meet NPCs: Throughout your adventures, you’ll meet a colorful cast of characters! Some of these are the ones in charge of the minigames, asking you for favors and giving you quests. If FunBun asks you to do anything violent to the NPCs, don’t. You might not think you’re doing anything to real people, but if you’ve ever been wronged by someone in the past, or have had any negative thoughts towards anyone lately, you very much will be. These people will always be represented by commonly detested animals. Perhaps a bully is represented by a snake. A tattletale represented by a rat. An ex-lover represented by a slug. And these characters quite literally REPRESENT them. If you were to, say, shoot an NPC that looks like an ant, you’ll wake up the next day, assuming you follow these instructions enough to wake up at all, to news that that kid who annoyed you in middle school was found dead with a bullet wound in their head. It might even ask you to put these people through something much worse than death. It might not even be to people you hate. Maybe you’re okay with that, but we want to believe you aren’t that kind of person. At least the thing posing as FunBun will think of you as a fun playmate.
5, Make The Right Choices: As mentioned in 2, FunBun may ask you for personal information. In these situations, either lie to it or refuse to answer. Of course, there are some things it may know already, besides your full name. It will construct its own minigames for you with the information it knows, either based on your most regretful memories, or your darkest fears. This is likely where the aforementioned NPCs tied to real individuals will appear. If you play the minigames it has based on your memories, completing them will allow you to change your past and “fix” anything bad that happened to you. Do not play them. Put the controller down until it moves on. It will always add some sort of horrible condition each time it lets you fix whatever tragedy befell you in the past. You made it so your parents were no longer divorced? Now they’re back together, but only because the entity posing as our mascot came to them and told them it’d kill you unless they remarried. Now they’re both stuck in constant fear and misery, knowing they can’t even show a hint of unhappiness. You brought your friend back to life? Congrats, now they’re constantly rotting, begging you to kill them again. And NEVER give it your real name. If you’ve refused to play along enough, it will trap you within your own mind, filled with everything you’ve ever feared. Hopefully someone will come around and kill you at some point, instead of putting you in a hospital when they see your comatose body on the ground in the vain hope you’ll wake up. Death will be your only escape at this point.
6, Take A Break: We hope you’re having tons of fun, but it’s a good idea to get up and stretch your legs every once in a while! Grab yourself some snacks, get something to drink, relax outside for a bit. You should make sure the rest of your house is still there. You may notice the rest of your house is very dark. Maybe it’s just one room. Maybe it’s just one corner. Maybe every single room besides the one you’re playing in is engulfed by darkness. These places now cease to exist. This only happens when you stop looking at your surroundings for too long. Don’t step into the darkness. You will fall into it, and you will keep falling, reality getting further and further away. There’s only one thing that can get you out now, and you don’t want it to get its hands on you. Just stay in your room if it’s the only thing that‘s left. You will get a chance to turn everything back to normal, (see 8) although it’s very unlikely you’ll survive it.
7, Know Your Limits: Users with trauma, with regrets, with any sort of hatred towards other people are the ones whose copies have been corrupted. If you have some kind of emotional problem, you should likely avoid playing entirely. It will think of you as an easy mark.
8, End The Game: You can try turning off the game if you notice something strange when you start playing, but unless it sees you as an extremely boring playmate, it will likely turn the game back on. To survive its games and ensure you don’t let it hurt someone else, refusing to answer or move entirely has proven to be effective at boring it until it gives up. But it may not leave you alone if you’ve refused to play its games properly. You may have made it angry. For this reason, it’s best to grab a weapon. If FunBun turns towards your screen and appears to run towards the camera, grab your gun, or other weapon of choice. An AK-47 may be your best option, as you need to stay away from it while unloading dozens of bullets into it to put it down. It will emerge from your screen, and it will only barely resemble the cute character it was posing as. It’s quite the horrendous sight when it’s not appearing as a bunch of pixels. Assuming you can collect your thoughts enough while staring at its tall, withered body, tendrils, and gaping maw, attack it until it disappears into a cloud of pixels. It’s not dead, and we don’t think it ever can be, but it will leave you alone from now on. You’ve proven yourself to be annoying enough to it that it won’t come back.
9, Multiple Endings: If you made your Best friend, FunBun, happy through his special games, you’ll have proven yourself as the perfect playmate! You’ll have proven yourself to be just like him. FunBun will offer you your very own place in his special world at his side, and you’ll be together forever! You’ll get back at everyone who wronged you, and you’ll live in a world where you get everything you want. In return, FunBun will take a peek into your world in the meantime, using your body as his own while you’re in paradise, spreading himself through your electronic devices, and find more games to bring to everyone! He’ll take care of everyone else while you’re away.
You should know I get stronger with every piece of data I consume, and each soul that joins me in my world.
You should know some of this is outdated.
You should know that what once worked before no longer does.

But it may not leave you alone if you’ve refused to play its games properly. You may have made it angry. For this reason, it’s best to grab a weapon. If FunBun turns towards your screen and appears to run towards the camera, grab your gun, or other weapon of choice. An AK-47 may be your best option, as you need to stay away from it while unloading dozens of bullets into it to put it down. It will emerge from your screen, and it will only barely resemble the cute character it was posing as. It’s quite the horrendous sight when it’s not appearing as a bunch of pixels. Assuming you can collect your thoughts enough while staring at its tall, withered body, tendrils, and gaping maw, attack it until it disappears into a cloud of pixels. It’s not dead, and we don’t think it ever can be, but it will leave you alone from now on. You’ve proven yourself to be annoying enough to it that it won’t come back.
9, Multiple Endings: If you made your Best friend, FunBun, happy through his special games, you’ll have proven yourself as the perfect playmate! You’ll have proven yourself to be just like him. FunBun will offer you your very own place in his special world at his side, and you’ll be together forever! You’ll get back at everyone who wronged you, and you’ll live in a world where you get everything you want. In return, FunBun will take a peek into your world in the meantime, using your body as his own while you’re in paradise, spreading himself through your electronic devices, and find more games to bring to everyone! He’ll take care of everyone else while you’re away.
You should know I get stronger with every piece of data I consume, and each soul that joins me in my world.
You should know some of this is outdated.
You should know that what once worked before no longer does.
2024.05.01 04:22 Sevetarian__ Tekmar TN2 Add Zones/convert to wifi?
 | Hello, submitted by Sevetarian__ to hvacadvice [link] [comments] I hope this is the correct place to ask. I have a Tekmar TN2 unit that has two Tekmar thermostats in my home. One upstairs and one down. The zones seem to operate independently which is great and overall the house stays warm. I would like to add a 3rd zone or thermostat for my kids bedroom upstairs in my home. We have to have the door shut (we have a cat and sleeping babies and cats don't mix). When the door is closed the room gets cold. The thermostat for the upstairs is currently on the landing which works great if all doors are open, if a door is closed that room is now sealed off and if the landing is reading the desired right temperature the heating doesn't kick in. So what I'd like to do is add a zone or convert to wifi (nest or something similar). I am currently using a small space heater but I'm not sure this is the best way. As the TN2 is a wired unit, to add a zone will it need to be wired in? This would be a huge pain in the bum to do right? Feeding wires through the walls to the TN2. Can I convert to wireless easily and install more thermostats? Can I do any of this myself or do I need a HVAC technician? Thanks for any advice or insight. |
2024.05.01 04:21 Motor_Pressure_2184 He ghosted me after 6 dates
I (28F) live in New York City for 4 years. After a long break decided to download a dating app, at that moment I was clearly not interested in any kind of relationship cause I already had a trauma with a man who broke my heart.
I met a man (44M) there. He was my type, he took me on our first date and we had a great time. I didn’t really feel any chemistry with him at the beginning and I was a little put off by the fact that he was divorced and had children. Although he made a good impression, he looked young and it was clear that he was a successful and intelligent person. And it seemed to me that after the first date I was unlikely to see him and forgot about him. But surprisingly, he asked me out on a second date, then a third, and so on. For two months we went on dates every Friday. (I was free only that day). And each time the dates got better and better.
We didn't have sex, but we kissed. To be honest, I’m still a virgin and I would like the first time to be with my loved one (I’m not talking about marriage :) I’m not that old-fashioned). I told him this and he was surprised. Every date went great, the more I learned about him, the more I started to like him. I once told him that I was looking for a serious relationship, and he said that a man would not take a girl on 3-4 dates and spend money on her if he did not have serious intentions. As a result, I began to trust him a little, but still I could not trust him completely, since he could disappear for 3-4 days or a week and not text at all. I have always adhered to the principle that if a man wanted to, he would do it. After the 5th date, I already began to worry whether we would be a couple or not, whether it was worth dating him further or not, since in the past I had my heart broken very badly and I could barely heal myself. I texted him briefly that I have trust issues and asked if we are not on the same page, it’s probably better for us not to see each other? But after my message, he replied that he usually does not rush things and thinks that is good. And we went on our last date. For some reason, at that moment I was sure that we would definitely be a couple, since usually men immediately start pulling away if a girl starts saying things like that, like “we are” and so on. As a result, he invited me to a Michelin-starred restaurant and then we went to listen to jazz. We openly held hands all evening, both in the restaurant and on the way to the jazz club. I started to believe him, but then everything changed. He disappeared for 2 weeks, I couldn’t restrain myself and texted him, I congratulated him on his birthday, in the end he called me on a date again and canceled right on the day of the date, saying that he was not feeling well and should be rescheduled for another day. And since then he just disappeared. This upset me very much, I just started to open up and trust the man, and he did the same as others. How can you trust men after that? He was the first to show attention, he was constant and then he simply disappeared. Don't think that I didn't text him. I also texted him and showed my interest, texted him twice when he disappeared for 2 weeks, but after the last time, my pride no longer allowed me to contact him.
To this day I wonder why this happened. And how ironic that after getting my heart broken two years ago and taking a break from dating, the first man I came across also broke my trust.
I was very lonely all these years that I lived here, I came here with a friend and during the entire period of my life in New York I was never able to find a loved one. My mental pain is getting worse and worse that sometimes I just want to be loved and love.
I don't know how to get through this? I'd like to hear your advices. Thank you.

2024.05.01 04:21 Platitude_Platypus Cat UTI/Diabetes/something else?
Hi, my cat is 9 years old. I have had her since she was born to a stray in my backyard. She's a shorthair mix. She got some Siamese genes from her mom and her dad was a massive striped orange bastard.
She has no history of medical problems. She is an indoooutdoor cat, mostly because of the circumstances when she was young. She has always gone in and out. We live upstairs in an apartment complex with a huge yard and there is no real risk of her getting hit by a car or bitten by a dog. If we try to keep her in or out she makes a huge scene. She is quite spoiled and very loved.
Over the last few months she has started peeing outside the litter box to the point where we now have a vet visit scheduled for this weekend. She is losing weight but is so hungry all the time; she is eating about 3-4 times the amount of food that she used to. She also appears to be drinking more water. She used to do her business outdoors most of the time but now she comes inside to use the bathroom. If my husband or I have left any soft clothes or towels on the floor she will definitely pee on them. She goes inside the bathroom and pees right on the linoleum. She pees on the litter catcher mat outside of her litter box. We haven't been able to keep a bath mat because she will pee on it.
At first we believed it was behavioral because we saw no other symptoms, but now we are noticing the major change in appetite, thirst and begging for food, including foods she never used to beg for. She is just so hungry. I wonder if she could have diabetes. I don't know what to do. There doesn't seem to be any pain anywhere and she's not vomiting and doesn't seem lethargic. This is making us miserable and worried. What does this sound like and what can I do for her until her vet visit this weekend?

2024.05.01 04:20 Funny-Barnacle1291 Need help after MRI
My partner (25F) has had escalating back problems for about two years, and prior to that hip pain that has got progressively worse since she was about 16/17. I’m writing this as I feel quite desperate and we’re not getting answers from medical professionals. We don’t know what could be causing this or what to be asking about with consultants, or what the treatment plan could look like beyond pain injections. Worried pain is being treated without intervention.
She had her lumbar and hip MRI back and it indicates: - Mild lumbar scoliosis to the left - Loss of curvature in spine - 3 nerve root compressions (L5, S1 and S3) - Disc bulge at L4-L5 indenting the thecal sac - Disc protrusion at L5-S1 compressing the thecal sac - Facet joint degeneration at L4-L5 to L5-S1 - Moderate to severe spinal canal stenosis - Hip bursitis in both hips.
She’s only 25 and a healthy weight, she has been seen by pain management as an urgent case (on gabapentin, codeine & waiting for nerve root injections) but GP still haven’t referred to neurology or rheumatology and there seems to be no urgency in understanding the cause. She pushed for some blood tests and is pushing for the referral. Pain management consultant has consistently warned of red flags for Cauda equina.
This seems really quite a lot for a 25 year old. Prior to all this she was active, swimming, cycling and dog walking so nothing too high impact at all. She has lost a huge amount of her mobility. There was no injury or trauma which took place, other than the dog pulling on the lead suddenly about 6 months ago but this was already an issue she had seen her GP about multiple times and it just made it worse.
I appreciate many might not know and it may not be the right place, but I am worried for her. The MRI results were months ago and only now has she seen it after having to make two formal requests to the GP, when informed of the results a few months ago she was only told she has spinal stenosis and a disc bulge which is obviously an understatement so this is all quite a shock.
Some of her symptoms include: - Severe lower back pain - Severe sciatica on right - Foot and leg numbness and weakness - Stooped posture - Severe fatigue - Ongoing and fluctuating hip pain - Knee pain at the front and bottom of the knee - Inflammation and swelling at various sites on the back - Shoulder pain, raised shoulder blade on left - Loss of mobility due to weakness, pain and stiffness. Using crutches and walking stick - Sudden rapid weight loss in the last two months (dropped at least a dress size when lifestyle is increasingly sedentary and no change to eating habits)
If anyone has had similar or went through similar, please do share. I have been reading up on ankylosing spondylitis as prior to it getting this bad, she usually experienced the worst symptoms upon resting or in the mornings. Now they’re bad all of the time. She also has a spotty history as a child due to parents not taking her to doctors so it’s possible she has always had scoliosis and she hasn’t had a full back MRI, just lumbar.
If this isn’t the right place I apologise.

2024.05.01 04:20 st0nedtr0ll Bisalp done- Possible hysterectomy?
Hello all!
I am 1 week post op from my procedure and had an appointment with my doctor today to follow up. Everything is all good with my bisalp and the recovery BUT he told me that I need to come back in for a pap in three months since we just removed pre-cancerous cells from my cervix. He said specifically that it was moderate to severe dysplasia. Again, right now all of it is gone but if I comes back up in my next pap he wants to do a hysterectomy. Has anyone had this happen before- HPV issues leading up to a hysterectomy? I am not upset about not having a uterus. They already took my tubes after all but I am nervous about another surgery in the future.
Fingers crossed that I stay healthy and time will tell the next move but I want to ask about hysterectomy recovery, pain levels how the experience was. I assume it’s a bit more intense to recover from than the tube tie. Please if you have any insight let me know!💗
