No explanation given. And the other adults didn’t introduce themselves. I vetted the sitter and interviewed the sitter but not these other adults. And if I knew other people would be around I would have reconsidered hiring this sitter.

What should I say to her? It’s too late to change the booking and I’m already out of town.

I like greeting cards and looking at odd trinkets, handmade jewelry, stationary supplies, art, etc.

Any recommendations for quirky stores?

Anyone have any recommendations of stores to visit in San Diego for fragrances? I know the shopping is probably better in LA but you get what you get.

I have all kinds of supplies. She mentioned painting. Any suggestions on how I should set up the materials for her so she can do this?

Would personality disorders keep family therapy from helping change the dynamics? I feel stuck as an adult child in my dysfunctional family (2 parents, 3 adult children, 1 teen child). We’ve all been to personal therapy and have been doing family therapy but it’s all talk and no walk. Things aren’t changing when we’re outside of therapy.

Any input or advice for me? I’m thinking of backing away and putting less effort and energy into healing the dynamics because they aren’t shifting after over a year of trying so hard. My parents seem disregulated and honestly unstable most of the time. Thinking I should create some distance for my own peace.

I can handle a little heat. Right now I eat them sautéed with onions and little yellow potato cubes for a meal. With cayenne powder, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

What pepper should I include next?

I made the mistake of monetizing my art I had done my whole life around 7 years ago. It was less than a year before I was completely burned out and I haven’t done any art since.

I have no real motivation to do art despite wanting to in my head really bad. I know to avoid the mistake of monetization again but I’ve retained my hyper-critical attitude toward my art I developed during that era. I want to enjoy doing art again and not think of it as a chore I’m avoiding.

Any suggestions?

I’ve been living with my roommate for 6 months now of our 18 month lease. She has recently been diagnosed with bpd. What can I do proactively for our relationship? I want to be a good supportive friend for her. I feel like if I ask what she needs from me she might not know yet because she only just found out.

Thanks in advance.

I feel like I use so many paper towels when I’m washing and drying broccoli for example because I want to get it pretty dry.

Are there other ways anyone would recommend that is less wasteful?

Update: I bought some flour sack towels for drying my produce. Already have a salad spinner and colander. Thanks everyone.

Did 2 sleep studies. No apnea but grade 3 snoring. I also grind my teeth. I wear a mouth guard for the grinding but I snore still and have jaw pain from the grinding, just now my teeth are protected. Any advice?
