^I used one a few times when i was 18 or so (was preparing to fly to see an SD in Vegas to avoid studying for final exams, lol), and i can definitely understand how people could fall asleep during the experience! I found it to be soooo relaxing. I remember warmth, a gentle hum, and feeling like i was in a little cocoon!

I think tanning places now offer infrared / red light beds for people with different goals. :)

I'm so over, (& have been) all the 5G crapolla, necessary or not..

Waiting in Dr's exam room for my recheck.

I saw crush yesterday, briefly, he asked about my ankle injury, he also texted me to ask if I needed anything.. His car's sitting in the circle (extra driveway) I guess it won't go in this weather, he should of asked girlie up stairs (she has his 2nd truck, she's still home from work) . He probably got a ride.
Oh! Almost forgot, he got a really good job, co. truck, benefits, etc
He said he's going shower me w/gifts & backrubs, hold me when I'm cold, we'll see ::)


Anyway, so hot, I know I shouldn't but..:hyper:

I've used red light / infrared saunas before and they are awesome! They are great for balancing your hormones. If there was a red light tanning bed, I would totally go for it! Red light helps you build collagen. I haven't been able to use my mask and once I get a home I'll be excited to use that again. The regular tanning beds, no. I just don't want to get wrinkles. Always stuck with Ulta tan in a can LOL

@Whirlers-that's sweet your crushie was offering to help you. I'm excited for you! <3

What is with 5g!? I deleted part of my post because I wasn't sure anyone else was experiencing that 5G BS too and didn't want to be annoying.

I have a dog with stinky breath in my face right now and a few extra dog farts he laid on :(. So fun. I own a mini-me dog version of myself....we both just fart all the time. I actually (once again) had to breathe through his fart and put my face at the essential oil diffuser for relief. LOL

My next door neighbors are LEGIT moving!!!! I even saw someone on the roof this morning repairing and not a single one of the people living there for days. BUH BYE!

L seems to think he can pull more options and his social value is higher or equal to mine,......

Sorry to disappoint you but I am in much better physical shape, have more to offer, have less baggage, etc and can leave and get not only more options than you but better quality.

If I have to show you who is more valuable in this relationship, you will be in for a rude awakening.

I can leave and quickly/easily attract a man who is better than him = better financial status, better physical shape, no ex-wife/kid baggage, higher quality network, etc.

Him on the other hand - I am the best option he will EVER get. Anyone he tries to pull after this will not be on the same level or caliber as I am.

You really lucked up

It’s my favorite relaxing time! I often wish it would last longer..! :)

LOL....I hated in the past when I'm in my tanning shell aka bed laying down and thinking "crap we are going in and out of sleep! Wake up!" The worst tanning experience is the stand up tanners. It's nice to relax but standing up?! No way lol :P .....Spray tanning is where it's at nowadays.

Sometimes with the sun beds if you put them on a higher level make you want to leave. I'd be turning over in the bed in my own sweat after sweating from the gym grossed out lol. God bless showers but spray tanners, thank you!

Ever since I saw this horror movie where this crazed psycho zip tied the handles of the tanning bed this woman was inside, I have a fear of those things. Burning to a crisp inside and no one knows until it’s too late.

If I never watch half of these dramatic horror movies I probably wouldn’t have as much fear about doing things like tanning beds, cruises, glass elevators, etc.

Ls kids are coming over and I’m not looking forward to it. Mainly because his daughter I think has adhd or something. She is always hyped up and talks nonstop. Not to mention L made her clingy (refusing to put her in activities with kids her own age because he is too cheap).

Also, 9 times out of ten Bertha does not feed her kids before sending them off so now instead of just figuring out what I’m going to eat I have to think about feeding them. L rarely buys groceries for them in advance of their arrival.

I should just tell him to stop by dollar tree buy them pizza rolls or fried chicken and call it a day.

I just want to sleep because I feel mildly depressed and I don’t feel like entertaining this kid. My mom donated some really nice toys to her. I really hope she plays with them by herself.

If she get bored then L can take her back to her mom or her cousins or aunts or whatever

Thankfully he’s taking them back in the morning so they won’t be here too long.

of course this needy kid has all the tools (aka nice dolls and toys) to play with by herself but instead starts whining about how she doesn’t understand how to use doll toys.

Look little girl.

Go in your room, play with the toys you were provided, or read a book and go to sleep.

Call your mom to pick you up and let her figure out how to entertain you.

How hard is it to play by yourself for an 30-60 minutes???

WTF! These people raised a clingy kid. And they’re too brain dead to figure out some free Community activities to drop them off at.

Yes girl her aunt just gave her a tablet. Probably because she knew how clingy the kid is and wanted her to entertain herself when she’s over there.

And the kid started crying because she wanted to stay over here longer…..saying she likes it over here.

Ffs kid your father tells you in advance the time you will leave and that’s it!

He really shouldn’t be having parenting time this weekend bc he is not off work. I really hate when he tells his kids his entire work schedule and they use it against him.

Stop telling your kids your work schedule and simply tell them ´hey kid i will pick you up next Saturday at 4 and drop you off Sunday at 4´ or whatever. Stop letting your daughter and Bertha run guilt trips on you.

And no I do not want to be obligated to kids any longer than necessary. So when your parenting time is over, I’m done. Unless you or Bertha is going to pay me, I’m not doing it.

geez I thought making it cold in the winter and having only fruits and vegetables would make them want to leave but no, why do they have to like it here more than their moms? Why Bertha gotta be such a bitch her kids get tired of being around her?

anyhow, surgery on your period might seem weird but they are used to dealing with bodily fluids so it shouldn’t be a problem but if you’re more comfortable rescheduling then see if you can do that cause best believe these doctors will reschedule on you so they can play golf or vacay in the islands while they make their nurses fill in for them.

exactly. I don’t trust the fact that someone could try to push you overboard and you just most likely will die in the ocean.

also what if that mf is in the middle of the ocean at night and it sinks. I should have never watched titanic.

Also if people commit crimes against you on board then there is not much recourse because who has jurisdiction? It seems it would be very expensive to fight a legal battle on a cruise to the point most people probably don’t get justice for crimes committed against them on board a cruise.

You’ll never catch me on a cruise unless I’m like 99 years old and ready for death

I stayed up past 3:30am last night perusing old TV shows and movies I have downloaded to an external hard drive that I haven't plugged in for a long time. I probably would have been up all night if I hadn't looked at the clock and thought, "holy shit." I would love to go back to a night owl schedule....

I think I will probably spend most of the day continuing to just sit here and watch dumb shit. It's honestly been a long time since I had a day off where I did jackshit. Usually my days off still involve a ton of errands, chores, or other obligations. I'm gonna be irresponsible today.

I'm already heavily considering skipping work on Wednesday. I hate my new role, especially after Saturday. I know for a fact that I'm not needed for any important "running shift" stuff on Wednesday, so I'm figuring I may as well say "fuck it." But the amount of time off I've used in the last month is honestly staggering. Then again, I went months without taking any days off, telling myself that I would hit a point like this again when I was burned out and would want those hours to use so I better save them... so... maybe I shouldn't feel bad for using them when my mental health is taking a nose dive again.

Not gonna lie, a part of me is seriously considering ditching my current job to go work night shift for the Waffle House down the street. Bet I would make just as much money, and I could literally walk there (even if I wouldn't at night) which would save SO much in gas vs. Amazon which is over 60 miles roundtrip each day. I'm thinking of reaching out to see if they would hire me part time, and if I don't mind it, making the full switch.

I wasn't gonna worry about my job situation this year, but I really really don't like my new role. It's even worse that my manager keeps asking if I like it and reiterating that he wants to see me move up even further. He's a really sweet guy and the best manager I've had there so far, but I do not like the upper roles there. It's too much anxiety. Most of it comes from spending my days trying to trick the computer that is too stupid to do what it needs to do - this is why I laugh hysterically when people say "robots are going to take our jobs." No they aren't. Not any time soon anyway. Amazon is supposed to be a "leader" in tech companies and our computer systems are so dumb. And our few little stupid robots that do simple jobs, like moving totes around, are constantly broken down. They gave up on fixing one in favor of just having a human being do it manually, because it's less of a headache lol

I FINALLY got a night sleeping solo…….kind of.

My mom needed help packing/moving and I offered to pull an “all nighter” with her then sleep over.

She sold her beds so L wouldn’t have anywhere to sleep so he had to go back home. I slept on the couch and she slept on a twin size futon.

He was pouty and tried to pull a little guilt trip.

He should have stayed overnight when he went out of town.

It’s good to get a break every now and then. And all I had to do was simply go to my moms house

My older sister is a doctor who's struggling to lose baby weight in her belly. She's only been eating 1200 calories a day + exercising 3x/week (cardio bunny) and staying active. I'm convincing her to add strength training in to help with fat loss... but i highly suspect that eating so few calories a day is basically shutting her metabolism down. She claims that if she eats more, her weight balloons. It all sounds borderline eating-disorder-y to me.

I'm really hoping i can convince her over time (by sharing NIH studies and articles) to give her body more food. Your body really holds onto calories and fat stores when you eat so little... you're more likely to break down muscle than to lose fat. The whole thing is just kind of disturbing to me.

I sent her this article, which I'm hoping will help her! Putting it in here in case it's useful to anyone else. The body has evolved pretty dramatically to resist weight loss when calories are scarce. I feel like she should be eating at least 1400-1600 calories a day to avoid metablic resistance. I'm very active and trying to gain muscle...i don't count calories, but i think i honestly have some individual *meals* that are in the range of 900 calories (think, baked salmon with brown rice and quinoa, side of sweet potatoes, everything doused in olive oil). The idea of 1200 calories per day for an active woman in her 30s is crazy to me.

^ I don't think it's enough either. Like you say, I think her body is " fake starving " and trying to save as many calories for survival as possible most likely.

A lot of people think like this.

And for some it does work. It’s similar to intermittent fasting plus portion control.

However it’s challenging to maintain long term and just my opinion but it doesn’t create as good looking results.

I think people do this as a shortcut way of losing weight.

I personally am a big fan of waist training, portion control, building muscle, cardio, eating lean proteins/Whole Foods/cutting back carbs n sugar/etc.

And also having the right mindset. I used to put up pics of women whose bodies were slightly more toned than me so that it was realistic to accomplish and I could visualize my body looking just as toned

I heard something about eating mostly protein, lean digestive enzyme formula, and fiber. Strength training is important! You burn more fat.

I used to just do 500 calories a day, pop an adderall, have a bunch of coffee and mannnn I almost fainted at the gym once but I got that weight off after plastic surgery rest time in 2 weeks lol. I don't recommend it though because it just makes you feel incredibly exhausted the entire day and miserable along with the inability to sleep because you're so hungry. I don't think my body could handle that at age 32.

oh god! 500 cals and adderall? glad you came out of that ok...i tried probably something similar, eating mostly plain lettuce, celery, some egg whites, one apple a day, green tea with only zero calorie sweetener, an hour on the treadmill....i finally fainted and smacked my face against a stool to get me the message...most of what ive learned since then is for losing weight is keep calories about 500 below what you normally need and eat good fruits and veggies and a decent amount of protein.
