Working his tail off. I make all his meals do all the laundry clean the apartment buy him the luncheaze I fill everyday and super proud he made it to second step. Anything from Home Depot I can buy him to support him doing the thing?
Obligatory yes you’ll tell me he’ll dump me when he tops out and yes I go down on him so save your nonsense. Want to show him I care and make his life easier.
102 yesterday where my boyfriend was climbing, everyday it seems a coworker goes down from the heat. How are y’all staying up from the heat? Any tricks?
My boyfriend’s working physical labor 16 hours today and tomorrow in the heat, keeping the power up - what are some meals or recipes you’re making in the heat to help you cool off? Trying to figure out what to make him for dinner. And any tips for rehydrating are appreciated.
Edit: just want to thank everyone so much. These recs are amazing and so is this subreddit! Bless y’all
The folks at the gate always hype me up as a 30yr F who’s by myself. So much fun. Go dodgers!
Hey girlies! I’m a 30 something been in LA 10+ years and have realized I haven’t updated my make up routines since I was in HS and of a different pigment - does anyone have recs of a make up artist I could have a consultation with to update my technique, approach, and style to be of the modern age?
My 31F boyfriend 34M started in a low dose of straterra about 4 months ago.
6 months ago he got medicated on adderall which did NOT go well. We were in the ER 4 times for debilitating headaches, fever and sweats that would kick in with the medication wearing off.
He switched to a very low dose of straterra 4 months ago and I generally noticed a bit more anger from him which was strange?
Then a week and a half ago he got bumped up to 40mg and it’s been like he’s always on the edge of losing it. He’s yelling immediately and immensely irritable. Yesterday on the phone the service was spotty (because of where he was) and I heard him immediately scream curse words in the middle of a low key convo. When I met him it was a year before I heard him raise his voice, he’s soft natured and gentle which is why I love him.
It’s only been over a week and I’ve brought up to him the change, but he’s deflecting and doesn’t think the medication is the issue.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Crazy hot this week where I’m at, saw a line crew working a pretty big job down the road and bought a box of LMNT to drop off - then felt weird walking up and offering it.
They took it but don’t know how common/accepted that is, and can’t imagine how awkward it would be to be declined. Thoughts?
I’ve subscribed to several different subscriptions to try to tune in day of to find out I can’t watch them. I haven’t been able to watch a single game this season.
I probably sound like a massive MASSIVE moron but I’m on YouTubeTV with all my subscriptions tuning into a major network channel and it says it is not playing in my zone. I’ve subscribed to something saying I get alllllll games but it doesn’t work where I live. I can see the lights of Dodgers Stadium from my house.
What am I missing?
Howdy - my boyfriend and I have our conservancy cards and going to get a reservation to ride in Catalina this weekend, but have seen conflicting perspectives in other threads which route is better, starting in Avalon and riding to Two Harbors of the reverse?
I understand the climb out of Avalon is quite tough, so it would either be the start or end to the ride. Can you share your thoughts/experience?
TJs has some great protein options that stay good for a while:
Frozen Alaskan Shrimp
chicken meatballs
Smoked pulled chicken
Chicken sausages
Tinned fish options
Frozen fish nuggets
Frozen scallops
What are some of your favorite recipes to utilize these proteins? Looking for more variety with pantry recipes! Would love all suggestions
I love Hancock park > Hollywood reservoir > dirt Madonna trail > Hollywood sign > beachwood > back. Not too much climbing or distance but I find it to feel unique and love the mid ride dirt.
What about y’all?
My boyfriend and I are hitting your local routes this weekend - he’s never been to SF, we love to cycle - and I was looking for any tips? Were cyclists in LA - I was planning on locking our bikes after riding in the bicycle lockers for safety as we explore the towns - but how about when we start our routes? Our bags will be in the car, paid parking with observation would be best?
Also if you have absolutely any recs route wise, if there’s a great bike shop you think we should hit, or any stop we should make along the way it’s greatly appreciated!
Hitting golden gate and hawk hill on my bike are good enough - we’re gravelers and dirt friendly!
Any and all tips or suggestions are so appreciated - thanks for letting me stalk your towns Strava!
Hodge podge snacks of veggies, protein, fruits and things that make me feel full and happy that I brought into the theatre to see Devil Wears Prada 2.
Infidelity was paying for a hand job at a massage parlour. It took a month but I’ve been back to my old self making him dinner and taking care of him (in a lot a ways) and for some reason now he’s asking for space? And he’s making rude statements to me? Being controlling and accusatory randomly when things are good. And also accusing me of being dishonest. When he came home and I’m happy he says “what’s wrong???” Am I crazy or…?
Came clean to my family last week about my relapse. Came clean to my partner. Researched withdrawal and tapering and today’s the day I pick up the meds.
First time around, I went to treatment and straight to the rooms of AA. I went to a meeting everyday. I got a year and change. I held commitments and I did H&I, but I didn’t do the steps. I see how it all came crashing down. It’s been 2 years of relapsing. I’m so sick of drinking and wasting my potential. It’s exhausting trying to hide 750ml of vodka around my boyfriend’s studio apartment and figure out how to drink it secretly and procure it. It’s even more exaustijg knowing it’s where I’m putting all my energy, and I’m done with it. I’ve found some meetings I like. I’m aiming to get a sponsor this week. My head hurts. I’m taking b12. My anxiety is rough. I just need to not drink today.
Can you share how your days going, tips for going back after relapsing, your detox tips, favorite color, movie recommendations for sobriety, or anything really for me to read tonight as I stave off thoughts of drinking?
