I still feel bad for the 1 kid in jr high whose parents refused to let him do the sex ed section. 13yos are assholes enough, they didn’t really need something else to use to make fun of him for.

Kids can learn to be quiet. Maybe libraries don’t need whisper voices anymore, but inside voices for sure. Teaching kids (and adults it seems) to respect a public space and the people who are using it is not kid hostile. Sharing a space means all sides have to compromise and get along.
I went back to school. You can find tons of online courses in just about any subject, and some will count for real college credit if you ever want to turn it into a degree. Many are free, but some will cost you and most are worth it. A way to make your addiction productive.
I would go along with it and hang out and don’t expect anything more. At worst, you have a fun new friend whom you like to hang out with --that’s a win! Since she has no problems making the first move, if she wants this to be more, she’ll let you know. Just have fun with your new friend!
My dad is a gun collector, so I was around them my entire life, but gun safety was also part of my entire life. We understood what they were and what they could do. So if my friends ever said “can we see your dad’s guns?” It was always “no.”
Applause to you for this.
Next level shirts are almost perfect
I wear tall sizes which makes finding shirts a pain. Old Navy has tall sizes and their t shirts are on sale for $6 a few times a year. And they’re very soft and comfortable! I buy like 5 every couple of years.
In the US, most of the food is made in the same factories because they’re regional, then the name brands might get to pick the freshest batch, but often it’s the exact same stuff just in different boxes.
We eat generic all the time, but I will say that frosted flakes and honey nut Cheerios do taste a bit better with the name brand. Luckily, they’re really cheap a couple times a year and I’ll buy a couple boxes then that last me pretty much until they’re on mega sale again
Also: if it’s very swollen, that pressure stabilizes the injury and so it won’t hurt as much because things can’t move around. This is not a good sign.
Did the same thing years ago. It was huge and black and blue. X-rays showed that I only strained it (no actual tears or tissue damage), but I could almost walk on it. It hurt, but I have a different tolerance for pain. I got a neoprene ankle brace with a splint in it and wore that for about 2 months afterwards. It was about 4 months before I was running again.
Now, having said all that, go see a doctor. You may have damaged it differently. There are a lot of bones and tendons in your foot and they all need to work properly for you to walk, so get it checked out. You might be out a few hundred dollars, but if you can’t walk in 40 years, you’ll probably wish you’d done it. Even if it’s bad, there’s a good chance you’ll be just wearing the same neoprene brace this summer.
I feel like, at least in America – and it might be just my part of America – we feel like our hobbies have to make us look better. I can’t just take photos, they have to be really good photos and I should look into selling them. You can’t just like to make cakes, you have to make amazing cakes and do it for friends’ parties. There’s not enough emphasis on just do something you like because it makes you happy. This doesn’t have to be a competition. It doesn’t matter if your shit is abysmal as long as you enjoy doing it. Have fun!
You could look into being a driver for Cisco: they supply a huge number of restaurants. Might give you connections that you could parlay into working for a different food distributor as either a driver or salesman. I also knew a guy who power washed businesses, like the exteriors. Just showed up and washed the outside walls. I had no idea this was a thing. I think he had to do it overnight though, so might be potentially dangerous in certain areas.
I’m in this particular loop at work where I don’t want and don’t really need an account, so I’m going to pretend I didn’t see this and if you could ensure that IT doesn’t see this, that’d be great, thanks.
I so hope someone in Hollywood is working on this
Get a workout buddy. Can be a friend or spouse or a trainer, but someone who will make you show up because you know they’re going to be there and you’ll be a jackass if you bail on them. They’ll also make you look forward to the time together, and help you not think about being tired or sore or sweaty or how many left you have, whatever. I’m a trainer and my most valuable skill is making my clients forget they’re working out and that they hate working out. The less you hate what you’re doing, the more likely you are to do it, so find something you don’t mind, and then find someone you like to do it with. Start there.
If you want to get into gym life and weight training, find a good trainer. Date around and find someone you click with. The Internet is full of good and bad advice, but a real(that means certified) trainer will have mostly good advice. If you can’t afford a trainer, then stick to the machines because it’s harder to hurt yourself on those. Anything is better than nothing, but be sure to take your time because moving too fast causes injuries and injuries only waste time, set you back and possibly stop you for good. Learn to enjoy the process and the journey and this will become the lifestyle change people say it should be.
Good luck and be sure to have fun!
