I wish I had a friend who could just be there while I tried to get it set up. Honestly, I’d peroxide pizza, beer, and video games just so I don’t collapse in a mess of confusion and self doubt when something goes wrong. I don’t mind doing the work, but I don’t know if I have the patience to figure it all out.
Sounds like you had a wonderful patient who was grateful for you doing your craft. Do a compliment sandwich, but do it sincerely.
Complement Boundary Complement
“Oh my. I’m flattered. Thank you, but I’m not comfortable with that right now. You’ve been a wonderful patient and I enjoyed working with you too.”
This is just an example of the compliment sandwich structure and you should adjust the wording to serve you.
As for the phone number, just tell him that you were doing your job and seeing him better is all the reward you need. Again, adjust the wording for your truth.
How do you measure that for weight loss?
You’re using rationality to defend your behavior instead of connecting emotionally around a fundamentally emotional issue. This doesn’t mean that her behavior was justified either, but rationality will only get you so far in solving this problem. Arguably, there’s an intimate and emotional reason you’re together. If you’re both not engaging in protecting and growing that first, then you’ll end in a you vs her situation.
Is it possible for your partner to get a job with health insurance while you get your business up and running? If not, the ACA website, healthcare.gov, is your best option. When filing, you won’t declare your income from when you had a job. Try to make your best guess. If needed, claim it to be $0 and then plan on paying it back when you file your taxes using the 1095-A.
If you don’t have an accountant, get one. Talk to them before leaving your job. They know the ins and outs of these things. They should be one of your first trusted advisors. If you don’t know how to pick an accountant, read Small Business Cash Flow by Dennis O ’ Berry.
I’d love to know more.
I recently read “The brain is a computer is a brain: neuroscience’s internal debate and the social significance of the Computational Metaphor” and found it compelling. It bristled a lot of feathers on Lemmy, but think their critique is valid.
Do you have any review resources? I have a bit of knowledge around biology and biochemistry, but haven’t studied neuroscience.
And no pressure. It’s a lot to ask dor some random person on the internet. Cheers!
Don’t bring your phone for the first few weeks. There’s something physiologically gratifying about lifting heavy.
And your muscles don’t really “hurt” during or immediately after completing a set. They are stressed, but you should recover after a few minutes to do your working sets. Eventually, you’ll be out of gas and your muscles won’t be able to coordinate a lift, but you’re sort of going for that. And then a day or two later, if you lifted to too much, you have some muscle soreness. That always sucked for me.
Thank you for sharing. The depression part is one of the major reasons I’m following through with this. Twenty years of that was too much.
Thank you. I hope my experience is just like yours.
Thanks for sharing. I’m seeing different people have had different experiences with medication. I think, like you said, I’ll have to keep in close communication with my doc.
Cheers! Thanks.
Excellent. That’s good to know for sure.
Thank you for sharing. I think I’ll take it one decision at a time. Hopefully I’ll make sense of it all along the way. Not my strong point.
Cheers. I may end up doing that. Just sounds lonely. But better than having to explain myself constantly.
I think they’re talking about this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_English
I can’t say this with 100% certainty, but Italians migrated to America at the end of the 19th century. And they did so from the poorer south. So I’ve heard that American Italian communities speak Italian like modern day grandparents. Here’s an article on why American Italians pronounce cappacola gabagol.
This comment is a hot mess of personal experience and fatalism wrapped in the vaneer of scientific authority. Chiropractor bad … Unless doctor say go. Then bad not bad anymore.
I care about my friends. I care about their goals, concerns, trials, joys, and more. I listen and I dig deeper. If I don’t care about what they did, I ask questions that reveal how it made them feel.
Now that’s a lot of emotional labor, but for a select few confidants, I am more than happy to that work. It bonds us and makes each other feel seen and connected.
