Has anybody been watching the Dr. G videos?

I’m just curious what people think of his analyses on LC specifically. So far, he’s come out with two.

I used to really like his content on other trials but once we kind of became a shill and hopped on the Epstein bandwagon, I got sick of him and I wonder if his opinions are compromised a bit.

Edit: This video is actually really decent. I posted this before watching it in full.

Patrick Clancy Rule Update

Hey everyone.

We're updating and clarifying one of our sub rules.

We're expanding the existing "No Patrick Clancy Killed the Children Speculation" rule to be more specific. Going forward, the new rule is "No Patrick Clancy Conspiracies" and this covers any baseless theories about Patrick Clancy, including:

  • Claims that he killed the children
  • Claims that he SA'd the children
  • Claims that he cheated on Lindsay
  • Posts arguing against or "debunking" these claims
  • Third party posts from other sources admonishing the claims

If your post or comment touches on any of the above, it will be removed regardless of which "side" it argues. Repeated violations will lead to further moderation action.

We know this case draws a lot of strong opinions, and we appreciate everyone helping keep discussion focused on what's actually known. If something changes and new evidence is made available, we'll revisit this.

The “Shut her up” comment sounds more like “shut it off” but curious what others think

20:53 is the time mark and this was right before they recessed after the autopsy testimony.

For anybody who missed it. During today’s testimony, Big Red made a comment to the judge about how the commonwealth got picked up on hot mic saying “shut her up”.

Update:
Here's the video where Reddinton accused the defense: https://youtu.be/e4OtRLjIzEY?si=NqXnoiZ-aVTN7gDA

I hate holidays

Possible TW:

I miss a time when holidays were actually exciting and something to look forward to. Food was the last thing on my mind. I dread them now because I can’t stop thinking about food. I spend hours and hours stressing about holidays and outings and trying to control every little thing so I don’t “lose” control.

I kept overriding my disordered thinking and challenging it and ended up overeating in defiance this weekend and the guilt is dreadful. I just wanna cry and lock myself up for the next month. I know it’s not the solution but the guilt is so immense that I just want to throw every disordered habit at it to make it go away. Alas I know I have to just soldier on. There was a time when I didn’t know what this guilt felt like and was so blissfully unaware. Didn’t think twice about my body. I really miss that. I miss that girl.

This post is really all over the place. I’m just feeling horrible right now and thought maybe a message into the abyss would help.

Stopping Ads for Triggering Content

After receiving 132 GLP ads in a week on HBO, I decided to google how to stop them and came across My Ad Center in Google where you can switch off sensitive topics like weight loss, pregnancy, gambling, etc.

Just thought I’d share for those who didn’t know about this.

What’s everyone doing for thin skin around the eyes causing crow’s feet?

Just curious. I don’t have a good eye routine and I’m noticing the thinning of my skin around my eyes causing more crows feet.

I’m getting married in less than a month so preferably curious to hear more about non-actives like creams, face tapes, eye masks etc.

Opinions on having 1 to 2 menus per table rather than at each place setting?

We’re doing dinner family style and I saw a pin the other day where they had just one menu per table and I love the idea of saving a little money on something I know people would just look at once.

Propanolol might be a game changer for me

I suffer from GAD and flying has been one of my biggest fears throughout my entire life. Despite this, I fly a few times a year but struggle each time. All the symptoms, rapid heart rate, sweating, panic, shortness of breath, dizzy, and sometimes even crying. I’ll have recurring nightmares about planes before I fly somewhere.

Anyways I’ve tried alcohol and benzos but in recent years stopped because I hate using that stuff for fears. Earlier this year I was prescribed propanol for anxiety and if you’re reading this and not sure what it is. Propranolol is a non-addictive beta-blocker that stops the stress hormones adrenaline and noradrenaline from binding to beta receptors in your body. By blocking these receptors, it prevents the "fight-or-flight" response, resulting in a slower heart rate, relaxed blood vessels, and lowered blood pressure. It’s typically prescribed for blood pressure but off label for anxiety or public speaking.

I’ve used it in the past but didn’t notice anything enough to keep it around. Well, I flew to Seattle (alone) this past week and I haven’t flown alone since getting with my now husband so it’s been several years. I took one before my flight for the hell of it and what an absolute difference it made. It really helped curb the symptoms during take off and all that jazz. It helped me actually focus on the ride as being a positive experience rather than an anxious one.

Did I kick my fear? No probably not but boy it really helped turn the day around and make it an enjoyable flight. I’m flying again to Hawaii this year and I’m actually now looking forward to it. I actually feel like if I keep flying and using propanolol that I might be able to create enough energy to get past the fear.

I'm really sad to share that this adorable notion box I purchased at my LYS is a terrible design for metal notions. It uses pretty strong magnets to close the case which really secures it (which is nice) but it basically renders it completely useless if you put smaller metal notions in there like safety pins. They'll all travel to the magnets and when you try and close the lid you have to get them to sit just right to do so. It takes a lot of finagling and I'm bummed now.

If the designer of this nifty box is in here, perhaps looking at another way to secure the box without magnets would be nice.
