Here's my scenario as an example.

I washed my car recently and unfortunately it has some chips in the paint from rocks hitting it while driving. Not a huge issue, I have a touch up paint pen colour matched to my car.

The last few days I had nowhere to really drive my car, so I let it sit in the parkade. My "partner" and I each have our own car, so it wasn't a huge deal. I spent the weekend attempting to relax and trying to build up the energy to paint it. Difficult since my partner never gives me space and talks the entire time he is next to me, it is exhausting.

Today is a holiday, so it's a long weekend (which are always difficult due to above reason). My partner tells me twice to go paint my car. He tries to control what I do and tell me what to do a bit too often. This conversation developed into him telling me to do other things around the house (unimportant things, like move a pair of pants in the wrong spot), in spite of the fact that he is much lazier than me and has contributed next to nothing to the household in our whole relationship. I pay half the rent regardless of employment and do all the housework. I am absolutely getting ripped off and taken advantage of, and oddly I'm not the one to complain or demand he do things. And that's because I was trained to know the result is bad.

Anyway, I'm obviously upset, but I'm not really saying much else. I excuse myself to go paint my car. While I'm doing so, suddenly my partner appears. He had to take the elevator down 15 floors just to tell me he thinks he left his Yugioh cards in my car (he did not) and despite telling me to paint my car earlier, he is now asking me to stop painting so he can open my doors without jostling me too much while I'm painting.

I am left to wonder why then of all times he absolutely needs his cards. I have noticed he does this when I'm in the kitchen too. He comes and stands in my way whenever I am trying to cook or clean up.

What is up with this? Is it some control thing?

I pulled the trigger and got premium. This is just for personal use. I cannot state enough how difficult it is to find a calendar app with all the features I want, and I don't think I'm asking for much. I have tried so many...

What sold me:

1. Not a USA company
2. Full month calendar, with ability to check off tasks within it, as well as tag/colour code
3. Can easily put holidays from different countries on your calendar
4. Habit tracking. This is a new thing I can't wait to try as I've heard about bullet journaling and I like the concept.
5. Pricing is the most reasonable so far
6. Multi-platform, including Linux

Hope I'll have no regrets but I think I'll be happy with it. The only other feature I wish to see is creating project boards with tasks/to-do lists that have no dates assigned to them, so they're separate from the calendar. Then this app would truly be all powerful.

Hey all. I'm up late after having just survived a gallbladder attack! It's my second one, my last being just over a year ago. I ate chicken and rice... Who knew that would do it after so long of a low fat diet and no complications.

So the reason I haven't had surgery yet is that I realized I have IBS-like symptoms which are totally undiagnosed, no investigation has ever been put into it. Without getting too much into detail, I suspect my digestive issues could be linked to the inability to digest fats. I know, it's stupid of me to have this nearly all my life and do nothing about it. I know I need to get it diagnosed before moving forward with surgery. My surgeon agreed, and that is a work in progress right now. (I live in Canada, the wait to see a specialist has been ridiculous to say the least. I was also instructed to eat normal fats for my tests which may have lead up to this attack.)

I'm curious if anyone here has the following?: IBS-D, bile acid malabsorption, or pancreatitis?
And if so, if or how did removing the gallbladder affect you?

After my last attack, I almost went to the ER. If I ever go to the ER for this again, I feel like I might give up and let them do the surgery anyway. This attack lasted over two hours and was very painful, but not as painful as my first one lasting nearly 20 hours. Sucks being afraid to eat food.

Thanks all!
