I did a search in Reddit, and in general. Not finding anything. My partner just got a good job, but hasnt worked in over a year. The car is dead. Needs a battery. And some TLC. Oil change ect. Anyways. I'm not finding anything currently in town that offers used batteries. Something that would just get her by for a couple weeks.

It's Sunday so all the junkyards are closed.

Anyone have suggestions? Im going to call DHS tomorrow also. Maybe they can help. I know there used to be programs to help people in this way.

Anyways. Thanks if ya got some suggestions. :) Mucho appreciato.

We are looking for a local-ish farm to source meat and eggs from.

I'm done shopping at Meijer and any other other chain of grocers for meat and eggs.

I also need the farmers that voted for Mango Mussolini to feel the burn for their actions.

I'll go vegan if I have to. I'll definitely miss burgers though. 😭

TIA❤️

Hey all. I'm new to figuring all this out.

I just saw this video this morning. Not looking for anything. It was just on my feed. I only got 12 minutes in and my life is upside down right now.

I can't even explain how I feel. But within 12 minutes of this video. They had nailed what I feel on a daily basis 100%

I'm having a really hard time right now with even comprehending what just happened.

I'm diagnosed CPTSD and MDD. With some bi polar and when I was 30, they said I was schizoaffective.

I've been on every medication possible it seems since age 13. I'm 53 now.

The thing that's throwing me off so bad. Is. I don't recall feeling like this my entire life. It only feels like it's been a thing since COVID.

I know nothing about any of this yet.

I'll be discussing with my therapist next week.

I've been scared for myself for years now. I'm not sure if seeing this video helped me yet or not. Because as of right now. I feel somewhat validated, but also. Extremely empty.

I have no one to talk to. So if anyone feels like reaching out and maybe helping me figure anything out. If you relate. I'll be around (I think). I can't ever tell. I sleep most of my life away. But I would be grateful for it.

Where do I go from here?

I'm 53. I've been in therapy since age 13. And on meds nearly that entire time also. Granted it hasn't been non stop therapy. But I haven't ever gone more than a year without seeing a therapist. Mainly because the meds I've been on. They kinda required and wanted me to see someone. I've been in and out of the hospital a half dozen times. Intensive inpatient therapy. DBT 3 times.

I've had good and bad therapists. I currently believe the one I'm seeing is pretty amazing. But again. I feel like I get bamboozled. I often wonder if they are scared to tell me how it really is. I always ask questions about my personality and traits. Because I want to better myself. Apparently I'm a good person. I mean, I know I am. But don't we all question ourselves?

I've been really adamant about being anti medication for a while now. There's been one medication that helped a bit that I recall. Wellbutrin. But the last time I tried it. I couldn't stand how dry my mouth was. I had to have gum or candy constantly. And had to sip water every 5 seconds. It was miserable. All the drugs available for me have some of the worst side effects that are intolerable. Life is intolerable. On top of this shit. I'm constantly hot and sweating. I quit going anywhere and everywhere. I make most appointments virtual now. I've become a recluse because I overheat the moment I leave my house. It's absolutely terrible. I'm getting tests and specialists ect. No one can figure out what's wrong. I wear shorts and tank tops and no jacket when it's 30 degrees outside.

I know 100% I need to be in the hospital. But I refuse. Being trans makes that whole situation unbearable.

Doctors and therapists ask if I'm suicidal. All I can do is laugh, which turns to despair and me blubbering all over the place.

If I had the guts. I'm scared to mess up. I don't want to end up in a bed unable to communicate or something. Stuck in my own prison with no way to do anything. Not that it's a whole lot different right now. But at least I have the choice.

Anyways. I tell them and myself. I can't do that. But who can really say that? You never know what can happen when pushed to that limit.

I just don't know what to do anymore. The meds I'm on are not working. Nothing ever changes no matter what situation I'm in.

Stress free? I'm in the same boat. Under tons of stress? I'm in the same boat.

What the heck do I even do anymore? Therapy doesn't help. Meds don't help. Hospitalisations don't help.

Where do I go? What do I do? I'm at my wits end here. And with the political climate on top of being harassed non stop in daily life. Just to live. It's exhausting. Buy this, buy that. Telemarketing 6+ times a day to unblockable numbers. Constant ads. Constant barrage of crap you can't get away from anymore. Can't afford to eat healthy or buy healthy food anymore. Fear of dying from some weird food contamination.

Odd isnt it? Wanting to be dead. But scared of getting sick? I hate being sick. I've been sick my entire life. If that sickness would lead to death that was fairly quick. Well then ...

I'm sorry to talk this way. And I wouldn't be surprised if this gets yanked. No one wants to hear it. No one wants to see it. No one wants to face reality.

That's the problem. It feels like everyone has their blinders on. And that's why we're at where we're at. 🤷‍♀️

That's just half the issue. Even if the world was a better place. I would still be in my own miserable hole that I can't seem to pull myself out of.

Help? 🤷‍♀️

And if I hear the whole hotline stuff again. Hotlines do not help me. And every time I engage with a question or topic that's sensitive. Call this, call that. Why? So I can tell another stranger all my problems and for them to say. "That's sound hard"?

Give me a break.

Hey y'all. Our pool of 35 years. At night is calm as can be. Like glass.

Last night my partner and I were outside and noticed the pool had waves.

As if someone had disturbed the water.

We sat there for 45 minutes. It never stopped. Slowed down. Or sped up. She said she saw it speed up occasionally. But that's hard to judge.

It was definitely moving. So we sat here trying to figure out why. There was no source for the movement. Pump was off. There wasn't even a hint of a slight breeze. Calm as ever. No bugs or critters for a source. Pump had been off for over an hour.

The only thing that popped into my head was the planet is actually vibrating from all the earthquakes and other chaos with the sun.

She agreed, it might be the only explanation.

So. You know. My curiosity. I'm trying to find out if this is even possible?

Her and I have been feeling very weird lately. Verirgo and just feeling completely drained.

The solar system feels angry. Lol.

Anyways.

Is this a possibility? The waves of the pool from the planet having so many earthquakes recently. Especially with the latest.

I know that energy travels through the whole planet. But can it actually make my pool wavy? I'm assuming so.

I really enjoy most of this game.

Except the inventory.

My inventory is always full. I go to do a quest and within 5 kills I have zero inventory left.

I carry the basic essentials. Food, water, buff potions, fishing pole, lures, staff, shovel. Tools ect.

My hot bar is full. And one row in my inventory is always full with stuff I use on my travels.

A row of locked inventory would be amazing. A way to lock things in place so they dont get sorted when doing the fill chest with similar items action.

A small bag/backpack. Something would solve all of this.

I'm just tired of having to spend quite a bit of time just tossing things from my inventory to make space for what I needed to grab.

It's fulls way too fast because we need an extra 7 or so slots.

Every friend I talk to that plays this game agrees. 🤷‍♀️

Edit: the last reset has fixed everything that was going on so far. I don't understand how these things software can get wonky. But it's working. Smart tube this time also. Thanks for all the input and ideas. Much appreciated.

For the last 2 years I have had a hell of a time with these devices.

I am on my 4th box.

Every single one of them has an issue. Either the remote dies. Or they just poop out. And while I understand you can get new remotes. New remotes actually are terrible. They are much worse than the ones that come with the box.

I have replaced my last one. It's extremely noisy. It does work. But the clicks on it drive me nutz.

Anyways.

The issue I'm having now. I have to force close YouTube EVERY SINGLE TIME I USE IT. Which is multiple times a day.

I just don't understand why. Every single box I've gotten has had issues. I bought one for my partner 2 years ago, and she hasnt had a single problem with hers.

Yet I can't seem to get one out of the 4 I've purchased.

2 of them just flat out died. No explanation. No warning nothing. Just one day. Poof. I reset them and tried to contact support. What a joke that is. May as well slit my wrists. Getting support for these is non existent.

I reset the box last months and the YouTube issue stopped for 2 weeks. Then returned.

I refuse to buy a other one. I honestly don't know what to buy at this point without spending $200+ that I do not have to spend.

I know if I could have just paid that from day one. Maybe I wouldn't have 3 broken onn boxes sitting here in a box collecting dust.

Frankly I'm ready to grind them up into a powder and mail them to ONN. With a pleasant note attached.
