I’ve been cleaning the chamber and changing the water, and I’m also cleaning the hoses attached to my mask as well as the mask itself. Lately, I’ve noticed that when I turn my machine on, the first few kicks of air have been smelling rotten, almost like eggs or something. Sorry, that’s honestly the only way I can describe the smell.

My mask is also starting to break my face out, and I’m honestly unsure what I’m doing wrong. The company recommended cleaning the hose and mask once a week, but I clean it way more than that because I have a fear of getting sick. Instead of once a week I do 4. I use pretty basic things dawn and water and I let my stuff air dry while I am at work. I am wondering what am I doing wrong. My skin is super super greasy though. Not sure if this can change anything or what. Even noticed one morning before cleaning tons of white particles were inside of the chamber .

The other morning, I was literally gagging from the smell coming from the mask . I woke up feeling super sick . I’m not sure what’s going on, but I’ll be contacting the office, or I may just have to drive there before work because this can’t be normal.I am also still experiencing the painful burning eyes. I am roughly 4 weeks in with the machine.

Hi everyone! 24 year old here and recently started contributing to my investment account. I’ve noticed the platform also offers trading, and I’m interested in learning more.

For those with more experience, what would you recommend a beginner focus on when it comes to choosing investments? Any common mistakes I should be aware of would be appreciated.

I apologize to anyone who may be against hunting, but I genuinely miss it. I haven’t been hunting in quite some time. I used to hunt on a family member’s property, but unfortunately, things have changed. Where are yall hunting at these days ? Randomly thought about hunting and decided to make this post.
I’m sorry guys I was referring to deer lol oops

My friend works full-time just like I do, and I’m also in school. I already give her chunks of money and I’m basically 100% responsible for her transportation. It’s been financially difficult for me, but I’ve never complained.

Recently, drama happened with her mom, and her mom did some spiteful things that resulted in her autistic son’s benefits being cut off. Now she expects me to reconsider moving out because of it. The problem is, I had already planned to move out and told her about it BEFORE any of this happened.

She has even admitted that sometimes she BS’s with the money I give her. I’ve never cared because once I give someone money, it’s theirs to do what they want with it. But I don’t think it’s fair to waste money and then expect me to keep giving more, especially when she’s choosing to spend her own money helping family and men.

I’m starting to feel used and honestly frustrated. I have my own bills, responsibilities, and school to worry about. Not to mention how I feel as if she opened a door for her family to talk about me. She’s sent me nasty screenshots of things her mom has said about me . She crops out half of the messages and shows whatever. I find it weird and I’m tired of it honestly. Her mom also brought up how me and her didn’t speak for a while (it was bc of her mom though) . Shit is just too messy honestly.

I am moving out this month and she’s been knowing this but now she’s acting weird . Not to mention I bought her some gifts for her bday she left the gifts in the bag in the trunk. At first I was like oh she forgot , but then she sat groceries on top of the bag… while making a joke saying poor bag.

AITAH for refusing to keep financially supporting her?

Hi everyone! I was given an offer a couple months ago , when I was debating on selling my vehicle or not. (Long story short the vehicle became mines once my dad passed and I’ve been holding on to it but I’m honestly now ready to get rid of it ) anywho.

For some reason yesterday I was sent a email and the offer increased by literally $1,000. I am trying to figure out how is this possible even though I added that the check engine light is on and the bumper has a small dent in it .

I am trying to find time to be able to go into the location , but I was also thinking about just letting someone pick the vehicle up. I wish I could add photos so someone can look at it before picking it up. I’ll hate to get an offer that isn’t accurate . Me personally I don’t think the car is worth $1,800 . It’s a 2018 mitsibushi mirage

I feel horrible for considering cutting off a longtime friend, but I’m starting to realize that maybe she is the problem, not all of our mutuals. She constantly talks about how she hates negative energy, yet she spends all day online judging people’s looks, relationships, and how they make their money.

She assumes the worst about everyone, but is extremely sensitive herself.
She also slept with a man knowing he had a girlfriend, then constantly talked badly about the girlfriend because she “had him first.” I told her how would she feel if someone did that to her. Recently, I bought her birthday gifts and left them in my trunk for her. She left the bag there, then put things on top of it and joked, “poor bag.” That honestly hurt because I put thought and money into those gifts.

I also was in an accident and messed my teeth up a bit , & my side tooth chipped and I am working on getting them fixed. She makes jokes about side teeth missing and saying how she’s glad she has her side tooth. Or she’ll always send me jokes from social media regarding teeth.

She also gets irritated when I spend time with my other friends, even though I include her whenever I can. I’m grieving right now, and she recently made a comment online about how she was tired of seeing someone post about their grief because “nobody wants to see that sad shit.” That really rubbed me the wrong way.

On top of that, I currently live with her, help pay her rent, and drive her around constantly. I’m moving out next month, and she hasn’t been happy about it. Her family has also started disrespecting me, (via text message ) She screenshots the messages and shows them to me . Not sure what her responses usually are but… it makes me wonder if she’s made them comfortable doing that.

I keep wondering if I’m overthinking everything, but when I put it all together, this friendship doesn’t feel healthy anymore.
Am I seeing legitimate red flags, or am I being too sensitive? Would you cut her off, distance yourself, or have one honest conversation before ending the friendship?
Not to mention I actually backed away from her before due to her mom and some of her own actions also. She made me feel bad and then I came back around again.

From a place of love, I recommended therapy to her. She actually asked me about therapy too, so I gave her a few recommendations and left it at that. I’m not her therapist, and even if she is dealing with something mentally, I don’t think that excuses treating people poorly. I struggle with my own mental health issues, but I don’t use them as an excuse to become hateful or hurt other people. I know I can’t speak for her or make decisions for her, but now I’m wondering if I should just back away again and give her space to figure things out and heal. I’m honestly so confused about what the right thing to do is.

I have experience in lots of different areas some jobs were temp jobs or jobs that contracts ended but it is still experience . I also have a time where there’s a gap in my resume . I am wondering how to fix this. My resume looks horrible. I also want to fix up my LinkedIn profile but I do not have a professional headshot. I am not a fan of AI.

Does anyone have any experience with Nova Lines? I’ve been off the road for a while , and my buddy just got hired from the area that I am in. I was thinking about joining Nova Lines and team driving with him. Also letting him train me , he’s flatbed division and has tons of experience.

I am just concerned about the pay , he said that the company told them during orientation 80% of the load goes to the driver. I am honestly just wondering how true this is. Obviously I do know ofc you have to be willing to put in the work and do the miles .

I’ve never heard of 80% going to the driver though. Just wondering how true this is .
I did luck up somehow and snag an interview with a local trucking company , I am just trying to weigh my options.

Wish I would have started sooner I opened an account with Charles Schwab it is stating to get my checks deposited directly into my account with them.

I was wondering do any of you guys do it this way? Or just manually transfer the funds from another institution. Sorry I am new to this , I am learning on my own from researching and everything.

How are you guys actually getting good wfh jobs? I have call center experience 4 plus years but no WFH experience .

I keep running into these scamming companies. It seems like I apply for a company and then I end up getting even more spam emails and text messages from companies promising to be a WFH position.

I’ve been dealing with migraines since I was about in 2nd grade. I’m almost 30 years old, and to this day, nothing helps.
Earlier this week, I experienced a migraine that lasted from the time I woke up until I went to bed. Even the next morning, I was still experiencing it. I considered calling in because it was so bad.

I’ve noticed that with my migraines, I always get super hot and feel like I’m going to faint. I’m currently typing this from the break room, debating whether I should leave work and go home. I just want to bed rot and be in complete darkness. I am absolutely exhausted.

On top of the migraines, I also deal with sleep apnea due to having a small airway. This shit is so draining. Nothing helps. No diets, no medication. I’ve seen neurologists, and still nothing seems to work. I’m tired of dealing with these migraines.

I’m also tired of hearing people make comments like, “Oh, it’s just a headache. How bad can it really be?” Yeah, to you, it’s just a headache. For me, it’s far more than that. A migraine can completely knock me out and make it impossible to function normally. I’m just tired of constantly having to deal with this.

Edit: I thought about trying the shots a lot of people say that those help . Has anyone tried them?

Has anyone attended local 198 in Baton Rouge ? Also if anyone has a union recommendations around Louisiana may you please drop them below. Posting here bc I am in Baton Rouge but trying to look into outer cities also.

I’m currently in school for HVAC but I feel I am not learning as much class is super short and the rest is online. Trying to snag another certification in a different field. Currently hold commercial drivers license .

After more research apparently tons of people choice apprenticeships over actual trade school . Trying to weigh my options for better employment . I currently returned back to healthcare field while I attend school. Trying to find a paid apprenticeship.
Some people told me plant refineries but I’ve found it a bit hard to get into those without knowing someone. I also hold my Twic card and OSHA.

Hi everyone I have been experiencing a bit or a hardship I did originally post before and I was able to do door dash and spark and get my oil changed in my car . I have been putting the money that I do make into my car to keep it running due to me not being able to afford to get a new vehicle yet .

I’ve also been paying money I owed to my friend who I live with for rent etc . I am just $27.85 shy of total for my car insurance . My car insurance is late and will lapse at midnight .

Thank you . Well it’s almost midnight honestly dk how things work after the insurance lapses

I have PCOS and other issues going on . I had a endo appointment this morning and their concern was more about the pregnancy than anything . Three doctors came in grilling me about the pregnancy . (Not at the same time ) The doctors saw on my chart that I was pregnant the beginning of the year .

All of them were men, the last man he was very adamant about knowing what happened . So I told him I lost the baby , I didn’t say nothing else because I didn’t think I had to say anything. Which I didn’t want to disclose whatever. Even after me not wanting to discuss the pregnancy the doctors still will not stray away from it . My anxiety has been really bad these past couple of months . So now my hands are sweating and I am nervous . He then said he’s going to call the OBGYN that I was seeing and ask what’s going on.

They’re more concerned about the pregnancy than anything else . So now they’re about to give me a pregnancy test . I had my procedure done in Chicago in the beginning of the year . It was very much legal where I was located at.
I am currently still here waiting . The vibe is really off lol crap is weird . Ive been in here for almost 3 hours and it’s just full of suspense

Before my car started acting crazy, my friend told me her plans for her birthday. I told her I wanted to do my best to make sure she enjoyed her birthday because she hasn’t really had a good one in a while.

We made these birthday plans a couple of months ago, but recently I started having some major issues with my car. She doesn’t drive, so the original plan was obviously to use my car. At the time, I had no problem with that because I love driving. The problem is that the things she wants to do are out of town, almost two hours away. I’m already taking a risk driving my car to and from work because the issues are pretty serious. I cannot afford to drive 100-200 miles and potentially put even more strain on my car or end up stranded somewhere.

She knows my car has been having major issues, but she’s still adamant about going out of town. I feel really bad because I genuinely don’t want to let her down, especially because I told her I would do my best to make her birthday special. I’m even working a 12-hour shift on her actual birthday, and I was still willing to give her my entire Saturday to celebrate with her, even after having a hectic week.

I understand that it’s her birthday and I want her to enjoy herself, but at the same time, I feel like she should be more understanding of my situation. I’m not refusing to celebrate with he r I just don’t feel comfortable risking my car and potentially putting myself in a worse financial situation for a birthday outing. Am I wrong for feeling like she should understand where I’m coming from? She said there’s nothing in our city that she wants to do. She said it’s too boring here. I suggested something here but she got upset.

Growing up I wasn’t taught much and endured tons of trauma etc.. I wont get into that but fast forward. I started attempting to try to figure things out on my own. I also lived my life for my siblings and parents a lot . Now my parents are deceased and I’m almost 30 and I’m lost as hell.

I work everyday. I am in trade school , I’m pretty smart according to others lol. That’s neither here or there but I feel like a complete failure . I went through homeless this year when my last parent passed away. I’ve been living with a friend , and I feel like a complete loser . I am working all of these long hours and in school and I just want to know when does all the hard way pay off. I am TIRED. I know life isn’t easy and life isn’t peaches and cream but I am tired. I feel like a complete loser.

Not to mention on top of all this my freaking car is about to break down. That’s literally the LAST thing I need . Growing up for some reason I dreamed I would be this age and my whole life would be together. I would have a home a job and whatever else. Boy was I wrong. Please tell me I am not the only one that feels this way. Like what the heck…

Anyone know of any plants that are hiring? Seems like it’s about who you know.
I also have commercial license. Local gigs have been hard to get on to. I’m assuming lots of drivers are choosing to get off the road . Joined a Facebook group , and it sucked someone messaged me about a hotshot driving gig tried to ask for my social number and banking info. This person did not want to give anyone more details about the job though. Which I thought was weird .

My car has been having terrible acceleration , gas has been running out super fast. Coils and sparks were replaced. The acceleration has been horrible takes almost 1 min to accelerate after Stopping . Especially going up hills the car literally will not get up a hill. Takes a really long time. I have to take the interstate often and it takes me a while to get up the ramp.

While in drive the D is blinking really fast. It has gotten worse after adding transmission fluid and more coolant . It does this every other day . I have gotten my car hooked to a diagnostic machine 3 times and nothing is showing.

Autozone read as a pass pass fail . I literally cannot afford a new car right now. Has anyone experienced this before? If so how did you fix it . I only drive to work and school but I am afraid that one day my car may not start up. It also makes some really loud noise from time to time.

For some reason when I started to get things fixed on the car seems like bigger issues occurred I know I am being dramatic but honestly the car wasn’t as near as bad. The car is 7-8 years old though .
