I moved here ten years ago as a result of a traumatic brain injury, needless to say my experience so far has been lonely and tumultuous. I’m trying to change that. I know people can and do love this place so I am making a serious effort to attend various events and to experience this town for what it has to offer. I’m posting here in hopes people can key me in on free activities locals enjoy, bonus points if there’s a social aspect. I can’t drink or anything like that so bars are kind of out of the picture for right now. I work Thursday-Sunday on ten hour shifts until I quit my job in September to focus solely on living my life, getting back in shape, getting good grades in college, etc.

Thank you!

I’ve been a cook for fourteen years and am trying to land a salary job for the first time. I’ve held supervisory positions before, briefly. I am going to college for business and am a member of the honors society which is reflected on my resume. I also have a culinary arts certificate. The problem is that I have been applying for sous chef jobs all week and have yet to hear back from even one of them. My profile has been viewed quite a few times yet there are no texts or messages. The only jobs available are in Seattle but I have expressed my willingness to relocate. If anyone has advice for landing a first time salary job please let me know, I have been working towards this for a long time and just feel completely lost

I gained a lot of weight in the past two years and now have a belly along with unfavorable flabby pecs. I used to be in great shape I just got out of control when I stopped smoking weed, replacing it with meals. I’m not currently gaining any more weight which is good but I want to lose what I’ve gained and put on some muscle in it’s place. I just joined a gym and I have devoted myself to working my upper body one day, and my lower body the next while doing one hour on the stationary bike both days. I may be able to schedule even more days but I’m unsure right now how that will look. My question is, is this going to provide measurable progress six months in? I want to be in better shape than I was before but first I need to lose all this weight, so my goal is to simply lose 75 pounds in six months. Any advice is appreciated. I am a chef so I have the meal aspect dialed in

I need to get my car looked at by a mechanic to see if it will make it driving 150 miles a day five times a week. I’m already leaning towards believing it won’t. The car makes a soft chugging sound when running. My friend who is a mechanic looked at it and said “it’s in good condition considering it was $900” but didn’t have any input on whether it would make it to and from Seattle even once. The commute is through a bunch of wilderness on a highway so breaking down could leave me severely stranded. It is a 4cylinder. I just need to know how much it will cost to have a mechanic look at it

My cumulative GPA is 4.0. I am 30 years old so I thought my grades would reflect that, but I have managed to do well so far. I’m really happy about joining and just wanted to share that.

My usable range is Eb2-D5 and I’m trying to flesh out the higher register. I’ve heard the term “head voice” a lot and am curious how to unlock that. My falsetto starts at C5 because my highest belt is B4. I want to sing some repertoire that’s higher up and was hoping someone here could help me figure it out. Falsetto is great but I want to really resonate in the fifth octave.

These are intense headaches always occurring right at the moment of orgasm. They are mostly on the right side of my head, but are very severe. I’ve been taking Advil to deal with it but it is unbearable and affecting my life greatly. I take a few medications, the main one being Zyprexa and I’ve never had issues with it before. I recently started trazodone as well but stopped after the headaches started. They did not go away. I’m worried this might be something very serious and am planning on going to the hospital, but due to the amount of time I have to spend doing other things it will be a while until I’m there. I’m posting here in hopes someone can give me an educated guess about what’s happening to me and what may be the cause. They started on a day that was very hot, and I work in a kitchen, so I thought that it was heat stroke but it’s been occurring every time, even when I spend most of my time somewhere cool.

Thanks for any help that you may be able to give me. I’m genuinely concerned for my health right now
