    Luckily, my vision isn't bad cept for reading - and all that wonderfully bright light from the computers (my reading glasses are blue-light tinted to help and my monitors brightness setting is at 0) The joys of being at a computer 10 hrs a day.

    I'll have to check into blue-light tints. Never heard of them. Going to Costco in 1-2 wks for new glasses. Maybe that will help. I, too, am at a computer all day, everyday.

    I was listening to a Ted talk or a YouTube therapist or whatever and they were telling you how to have a good conversation with people. One of the points was that you’re not supposed to listen to someone’s story and then you talk about a time that you did something similar. That’s almost entirely my conversation skills and I’m trying to relate to the other person but apparently that’s bad conversation???? I’m zero percent good at talking to anyone and making friends so I can’t really trust my opinion.

    Same. But, as per your Ted Talk advice... I cannot tell you why. :smile: You're probably not as poor at communication as you feel, as I understood what you just said perfectly.

    Since I finally have all the makings & a pot to cook homemade spaghetti sauce overnight in the oven, I now need the energy to get up & do so... at 11pm. If I do, it's gonna be 1am by the time I'm done. I could also go to bed now & buy some Saltines & fruit preserves, when I'm out tomorrow.

    Being constantly bombarded by signs/thoughts/feelings that I am never good enough. I flit through life feeling mostly invisible despite activities and things I am involved in. It's an odd and disconcerting feeling, to be sure.

    I don't know you at all, so you can completely disregard what I say. But, if you'd never bombard another by telling them they aren't good enough, then never telling yourself that. They don't deserve it... more importantly, neither do you.


    Additionally, I think sometimes when we're lonely & having any negative feelings tied up with that, at least for me, we need to remind ourselves that when we isolate ourselves as we don't trust others from past hurts, it really is more like we don't trust ourselves to choose good partners.

    Don't know about anyone else, but that came to me today, so is a nice reminder that I & others, tend to keep ourselves at bay, afraid to venture out. To that end, today, I went out. Made a new friend in my bldg. Not a dating prospect, but still... we need to begin somewhere.

    Have a good night, All.

    Approx. 3 weeks after stepping on that patch of sea urchins, my feet are still sore and I can still feel the spots where the thicker urchin needles still are. Might be necessary to dig in with a metal needle and start digging them out.

    I got two of them out about 1.5 weeks ago..

    Aren't you supposed to soak your feet in vinegar to dissolve the spikes?
    ETA: I don't think you are supposed to dig them out.

    @Flex_Appeal
    You aren't. Agree with @GymGoddessGoals ... Pickling Vinegar or pickling lime. Soak your feet for at least 30 mins. Check to see if the vinegar dissolved the calcium from the spines, if not keep soaking your feet and repeat.

    Or you could soak bandage cotton in vinegar, get into bed for the night and loosely bandage your feet. Cover with a plastic bag to help keep your feet moist and by morning spines which may have found themselves further embedded on your foot should pop out. Use tweezers and a paper towel to wrap those little annoying spines, prior to discarding them in the rubbish bin.

    Went to the Mall this afternoon to get some last minute things for Christmas. A man in front of me had no patience with the cashier working. C'mon people, I know if can be frustrating to go shopping this time of year but those workers are doing the best they can. Don't be a *kitten*.

    Agreed.

    Agreed. Any of us who've ever worked in retail/customer service know the frustrations of flustered or downright abusive customers. Cashiers can't help how many items customers have and/or if they're marked properly, etc. It's equally frustrating for them.

    Additionally, if people really want to do something about the stores with 20 registers & only 3 opened, they need to complain to the mngr (who can't often do anything as s/he's given a budget & has to schedule within that budget) & email corporate (who are the real entity with the power to make store changes).

    As far as cashiers, they're doing their best & we can see from how exhausted some are, they're working faster & longer hours. My local supermarkets are now open 'til midnight until Christmas... some 24/7.

    Shoppers have become quite surly in the past couple of years, I've noticed. It's not necessary.
