The number of people who are “knitting” in a movie or on TV…maybe 40% of them are actually doing it, and that’s a high estimate (shout out to Miss Marple!). The rest appear to be wrapping yarn around one of the needles and then moving it vigorously, lol.
That’s not how you spell lettuce.
I agree, but how do I find that special doctor? My bf’s insurance is shit. Every visit to a new doctor costs at least $200. We can’t just trial and error this until we find a good one. He’s likely to run out of money first.
This is why I posted. In hopes of getting some direction toward that doctor without a lot of money going down the drain.
Nope. Yawns are only covered if at work, or somewhere with a fancy dress code. Definitely not when alone.
Wilford* Brimley. But I still enjoyed your joke. :)
Ooh, I’ll play! I’m 40 years old. I write checks every month to pay my rent, which has to be delivered to their office either by snail mail or in person (no online payment option).
The last time I saw a dedicated fax machine was my retail job in 2008.
The last time I used a deposit slip was three years ago when I deposited a gallon bag of change in person with a bank teller.
Ironically, the algorithm pushing adhd content to my boyfriend is what made him actually realize that that’s what he probably has. He just thought everyone felt the way he always has, but were better at handling their life than he was. (There might be a serious low self-esteem problem mixed in there too.)
This is almost the story of my boyfriend’s childhood.
“My son don’t need any drugs!”
Now he’s over 40 and finally putting all the pieces together. But not before going tens of thousands of dollars into debt, which is forcing him to keep a job he hates so that he can pay rent. Have I mentioned the daily panic attacks and constant stress on his body?
But he still hasn’t seen anyone to get a proper diagnosis because “I am barely making it right now, but seeing someone is something I can’t handle right now. Seeing someone might make it worse, and I’ll just go further into debt.”
So here we are. Quickly dying, and not fixing it.
I know, for example, that my microwave completes one full rotation every 10 seconds. If I want to heat something for 45 seconds, it’ll end up backwards. But that’s on me for not using a multiple of 10 seconds.
I’ve never heard of a company giving you your birthday off either. But it’s the only day every year that I feel special, so I always use vacation time to have that day off. And usually a couple of days surrounding it too.
It’s, uh, boll. Boll weevil. So you learned two things!
While we’re on animals, every time I hear the word mongoose I picture some kind of platypus-like creature. Like, a half goose, half weasel or something. And that’s not what it is at all.
And The Handmaid’s Tale was supposed to be fiction. But here we are.
I don’t fully understand what’s happening here, but they nailed the expression in that last drawing.
They should only be holding 2 cards for Texas Hold’em… So I’m not sure what this is.
Counting calories. I used MyFitnessPal, but I’m sure there are other apps.
Figure out how many calories you need daily to maintain your current weight, depending on age/gender/height, and then subtract about 500 calories from that. This also depends on your stats; you don’t want to go below your minimum daily calories. You’ll be hungry and dizzy all the time, and your body will try to store extra fat because it thinks you’re starving.
You can eat whatever you want, as long as you stay under your daily calorie number. You might not be healthy (depending on your food choices), but you will lose weight.
Good luck!
My boyfriend is getting more and more frequent panic attacks. He’s at the end of his rope. I’m trying to get him therapy, but it took almost a year to convince him to let me sign him up for some. Today they contacted him to schedule an appointment…for a month from now. And he panicked about it so badly that he started sobbing at the end of his workday (while still at work).
He can’t afford therapy, so I offered to pay. Which makes him feel guilty. His constant anxiety is keeping him from getting help for his constant anxiety. It’s only going to get worse. And there’s nothing I can do about it.
I just realized I didn’t directly answer your question: terrible.
The movie Castaway. This gif is sped up, which is making it more comedic looking then it was intended.
