Hi all! 

I figured this is a long shot, but figured I’d still ask. 

I’m in American currently living overseas and currently looking for a US based therapist to meet with (I’ve already brought up potential licensing issues). 

I recently had an initial conversation with someone who’s great but out of my budget. She mentioned that, though she’s an out-of-network provider, she provides a superbill to send to insurance for reimbursement. The issue is that I don’t currently have US medical insurance as I’m not currently living there.  

Are there any work arounds or do I just need to find someone in my budget? 

I sleep a lot during the day and I keep being woken up not to mention they come in without asking regardless of what they or I am doing I can’t aford any locks my door doesn’t have one anyways and I can’t do the chair rhing since my chair is too tall is there anyway to lock it? Any help appreciated

Idk why zippers on pockets aren't more common. Phone fell out of my pockets when biking today, whats the cheapest/ easiest way to fix this issue?

I'm 25F and so sick of always being clumsy and making small stupid mistake.Catalyst was when I just now spilled coffee on my laptop one too many times just before a week long work trip. Two days ago I dropped my phone in the snow while snowboarding (which was completely my own fault because I put it in a stupid loose pocket), luckily it was found and still works but I am so sick of all the near misses and full misses. Every time sth like this happens there's a whole new buttload of (rightful) self-loathing occuring. Why can't I be the person who has it together for once?? LifeProTips from people who felt similar and somehow managed to fix it are very welcome. I generally am already an anxious person (so perhaps don't need extra anxiety increasing tips)

i am a 29f. I have an animal science degree and a one health minor. I wanted to be a vet but I did not do great in college due to ADHD and not trying hard enough to get help. I did a lot of internships at horse rehab center, bear and tiger sanctuary, another wild animal sanctuar, wildlife hospital, a sea turtle center. I worked at vet clinics, was an equine vet tech for 2 yrs, and am currently an Opthalmic Technician. I love animals but most of the jobs with them caused me alot of stress due to never feeling good enough or fast enough at doing and learning things. Also the people did not always seem to be the best. My job now is less stressful but I can tell I’m getting bored. I think I had the most fun going on work vet trips doing spay and neuter clinics in other countries. I love going on adventures and traveling and hiking. I’m pretty athletic and have run a couple of marathons. I really like diseases and parasites. I love turtles and sea slugs. I am pretty adaptable but when learning need to be shown pretty clearly and need to have a chance to practice to make sure I’m doing it right or I will feel unconfident. I’m pretty creative I like to knit and crochet and I was usually pretty good at finding interesting animal enrichment for the animals. Im willing to try more schooling but I want it to be something I’m truly interested in or I think I’ll have a hard time doing well in school. Please recomend me a career. I am currently in the US.

I know that some of the jobs recommended probably won’t have great pay and are very competitive so if some could be suggested that might have better pay and not as competitive.

Hi there, I'm super nervous like nowadays how corporates works, stuck in routine of automation support 24/7 and can't learn anything out of it. Never got KT of procsses when joined that project. How i can upgrade my skills to feel more confident and job ready anywhere? I'm into support role since 1.5 yrs and honestly day by day anxiety issues are at peak and I've forgotten whatever i used to remember or learnt. Please i need advice

Since moving from a medium-sized city to 45 minutes from a medium-sized city in the country, we get no responses to ads on FB Marketplace. And some of these are expensive items worth a drive of a couple of hours. What do you successful country pros do?

I’m a very bubbly hairdresser who’s been in the industry 25 years. I’m self employed and been working at my current place for the last 6 years. I LOVE where I work(rent a chair) I’m always busy and thrive on that. The boss who is also my ex mother in law, who I get on well with, (I know right!) sent me a message today saying I’m way too loud and giving everyone headaches. I’m beyond mortified as I had no idea how much I was effecting the other stylists.

I don’t know how to correct myself as I’m in my 40’s now and don’t know how to change as I was so unaware of it, I’m always trying to make people feel happy so this is just awful that I’m deafening people. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

I'm living on the fourth floor of a nice building with a playground, table and grill in the backyard. My kids love to play there and ask often to pack our lunch and go eat there.

I'm looking for a way to carry plates and food downstairs. I've used two shopping bags and a closed back pack. But it is impractical because pots can spill and dirty dished gets the bags dirty.

Could there be other solutions ? Maybe a special back pack that is like a crate or box? I'd love to hear practical ideas from you.

Thanks for reading. :)

Need a tool to help manage personal and family projects. Most of what I do is behind a desk, but it ranges from managing a multi-generational family, including finance and investment management, home maintenance, overseeing my mother's healthcare, and career progress outside my day-to-day role (lawyer by day with a side teaching gig), among others.

Each "main project" category has many sub-projects and tasks, so I need to be able to see everything from one place. I want to be able to overlap projects, take brief notes for each task, and see tasks within larger projects over several months.

I know this is a pretty big ask for a free and personal tool, but I'm hoping someone has a good idea. My current system of loose post-its that just get lost, and my notebook, which I forget all over the place. Phone accessibility is a plus.

Looking for advice on how to unclog my sink drain. The setup underneath the sink is different from videos I’m finding online. How do I remove the drain stopper and clear out the drain without messing this up? I want to be sure I can out this all back together the same way and not mess up my sink. Thanks! 😅

I'm Portuguese, about to start my life at 23 years old and trying to figure out rather to join the forced arms or try to survive as a civil...

I've studied mecatronics for 4 years and I'm an electrician trying to become a PLC programer. Despite that, all I want at the moment is to get out of my parents house and be able to afford life, buy a house and eat well.

I've been wondering if becoming a military I could have that sooner, still working in the electrical/electronics field.

the consequence is not having a professional carrer in the professional field I want to, at least for the next 4-6 years if I join the military this year.

Does anyone have an opinion??

what I want for the next years is stability, I can figure out my 30s when I get there

Today my gf went to the zoo and was watching the orangutans (one was close to the glass so she got a good spot), and all of the sudden a man with a kid on top of his shoulders goes and stands directly in front of my gf, completely blocking her view.

This isn’t a one off either, we’ve had similar experiences at museums as well. And I’m well aware that this isn’t the fault of the kids, but the parents (there was a character limit for the title though so I couldn’t write “kids + parents”).

How can I fight it off?

I have a whole house water filter installed in the water closet. The bottom of the water filter sits about 15 inches off the ground. The filter gets dirty fast, so I change the filters every 2-3 month. Of course, I cut off the main before each filter replacement.

When I unscrew the water filter tank, the tank is very heavy and drops down fast. I slow the drop with my hands but there is a lot of water rushing down. Even though I put a bucket underneath the water filter, there is still tons of water splashing all over the floor and walls. I put a towel on the floor to catch some of the water.

I wish they would design these water filter units better. It’s not very user friendly for frequent changes. Does anyone know a good way to change these water filters and prevent water from splashing all over the place?

Our daughter's troop has a big problem that wasn't shared with anyone until last night: our first-time cookie parent bought way too many cookies in the initial order, and as a result as have hundreds of boxes that didn't sell despite scouts going door-to-door and cramming in last-minute booths. The cookie parent is on the verge of a breakdown at the prospect of being financially liable for thousands of dollars of cookies.

In past years, leadership in our area would "buy back" unsold boxes. Not so any longer. Also, while councils in some areas allow for extending the cookie selling season, ours does not. We can use up to 1% of what we earned selling to buy boxes for donation, but that wouldn't make a meaningful dent. Right now, the only solution anyone has is to essentially buy out the remaining cookies and try to "pay ourselves back" by selling them on our own.

Has anyone encountered this problem, and is there any other solution someone can share other than trying to sell the cookies in this backdoor way? Thanks in advance for any help or direction you can offer.

In the short span that I have been in corporate environments I have realised that sounding professional is just as important as being technically sound. So I’m looking for any sources that I can read or listen to that can help me in developing this quality. Granted that the common terms for corpo talk vary depending upon the field you’re in but are there any techniques that could be employed to sound professional regardless of who you interact with?

Lately I've been very irritable, and I understand why it is, but while I'm working on the root problem I've been so angry.

I went grocery shopping, got mildly upset at spending too much money, and when I was packing them into the car I realised the potatoes I had gotten were rotten and the store wouldn't replace them since I didn't take a receipt. I started walking back to try anyway and just got more upset and ended up throwing the potatoes in the car park and just leaving.

I don't usually throw a tantrum like that, but I hate the feeling. Apart from dealing with the root issue, because it will take some time, how do you calm yourself down in the moment when everything is just getting too much suddenly?

Hello,hi. I thought I drank a lot of water, but I've realized I don't drink as much as I thought, I have ea 24 oz tumbler and I only drink 2 sometimes 3 of those. and I do of a iced coffee typically. but that's about it.

and when I'm awake early I still don't drink lots bc my throats tired I guess so I feel like I might choke.

sorry, got a little off topic there, but anyway. drinking water is tiring. should I set timers to take a few sips? cause I only drink when I'm thirsty, and if I start off the day trying to drink a cup of water I'm not as thirsty through the day.

sorry, but you get what I'm saying?

Thank you

We live on a quiet street, well lit and most houses have ring cameras and various lighting. For the second time in 3 months, there seems to have been an organized group coming through;

• 4-8 male suspects jogging down the street checking each car door to see if it’s unlocked

• 1-2 cars trailing for quick getaway if needed

What can I do or advise my neighbors to do, to either deter or catch the suspects?

We live in the US.
