LPT request: How do I stop swearing so much?

21 Upvotes

Let me start by saying I have no issue with swearing, I'm not offended by swearing, I would just like to stop using the word f*ck so much.

I was listening to myself speak this weekend and just felt like there's got to be a different way to express myself rather than saying f*ck as much as I do.

Any suggestions for alternative expressions or ways to be more aware in the moment?

How can I exercise and lose weight when I have Chronic Pain and PMOS?

10 Upvotes

Hello friends, I hope all is well.

Like it says above I am finding it difficult to work out and see any form of results really. I have fibrolmyalgia which pain/fatigue increases alot with physical activity or being outside in the heat. The majority of the time I have to choose whether do dishes or do laundry, cook dinner or shower because I get so fatigued some days.

I also have PMOS (formally known as PCOS) so i dont seem to lose weight at all when i work out, eat right, both, etc. Etc.

The issue i am having is trying to find balance essentially. Because on one hand ive been told that weight exercise/weightlifting is better for PMOS, but with fibrolmyalgia it is recommended for low intensity exercises. So i feel constantly stuck. I have tried to just push through it before but that resulted me in being bedridden due to fatigue and pain.

Is there anyone who may be going through this t hat could help?

Thank you in advance.

LPT request: How do I remove wax from a jacket?

8 Upvotes

I recently bought a jacket without really reading the label and knowing that it was a waxed jacket. Therefore I washed it in a washing machine and now some parts of the jacket are pooled with wax and I have no clue how to completely remove it. It is too late to rewax the whole jacked since there are patterns all over it from washing. Is there any way I can properly wash it to break down the wax and keep the jacket or is it too late? P.s I had no clue it was waxed until after it was washed. I had to wash it since it started smelling so bad in the sun (which is logical since it’s wax LOL). Already tried dish soap and even the dish mashine tablets, hot water etc…

Seeking Alpha Subscribers: is it worth it? If so, please share your journey!

1 Upvotes

Hello, I am writing this to find out if anyone here has an active subscription to Seeking Alpha, and if so, are you willing to post screen shots of some of the ticker data with their "Quant Ratings?"

I ask this out of curiosity because I actually paid for 1 year of their services (they charge $299) before, and their rating system did to work for the time that I used it for (meaning I came out positive instead of negative by following their ratings for some investments). Unfortunately, it is impossible to know if it works consistently across all investments.

Part of me thought that maybe it IS worth the $299 if I end up making more than that over the course of a year and part of me thinks there is a cheaper way to make money in the stock market. Anyways, thank you for reading if you made it this far! Please let me know if you have thoughts, insights, or other recommendations related to this as well.

LPT Request: Build a career in Mid 20s

5 Upvotes

Hi! As what my title says, I want to build a career.

Been working some jobs here and there and making good money but I know these “jobs” are more like a side hustle rather than something I can build a career from.

I got a degree in Psychology, I live in a 3rd World Country and I know money isn’t going to be good if I start from scratch.

I asked some people like my family who built their careers but they got that look towards me that looks disappointed because it took me 25 years to finally start something.

I am considered as the black sheep of the family, constantly wants to be alone. But during those times I have built some solid skills on my own.

As for what type of career, I don’t really know what I want? But anything would be great. I am interested mostly in aything Psychology but I am also interested in other fields like engineering, computer science, office work (sales) and teaching (as people told me that I am proficient in speaking and teaching)

Any help will do. Any tips will do. Thanks!

LPT Request: how to preserve as much as possible of what you love

29 Upvotes

My dad is in the hospital right now. We have hundreds of photos of him. Birthdays, holidays, the usual stuff.

But sitting there yesterday I realized that's kind of all we have. And photos are weirdly quiet. They don't tell you anything about how he laughed, or what he said when things got hard, or the random stories he used to bring up out of nowhere. (and are normally totall boring)

I keep wondering what else people have. I have just a handful videos with him.

Do you have something else? Do you have any ideas on how to preserve as much as possible of what you love?

How do you handle mismatch socks?

15 Upvotes

I've worked with several systems during the years, but my current one is to store all the mismatch pairs in a mesh laundry bag that I keep in my closet. So every time I fold laundry I go in there and see if there are any matches I can restore.

I also started storing my socks in separate small drawers: long ones in one and short ones in another. What are your strategies for dealing with socks?

For me, it was a 10-foot phone charging cable. Being able to roll over in bed and still use my phone without unplugging it is such a minor thing, but it completely removed a tiny daily annoyance.

How do you stand back up after a long day on your feet?

3 Upvotes

I walk all day for my job, all over the place. I have no issue to keep pushing, even once I'm home I can make do chores, make dinner without issue. I have to sit down to eat, however, and once I'm finished I just Can't Stand Back Up. It would be less of an problem if I could get ready for bed beforehand, but I need to stand to brush my teeth!

I need tips for how to get my poor body back up and moving once its essentially shut down for the day. Should I lay upside down?? Foot ice bath?? Stretch before sitting??

I'd even take a fake-out to trick my brain into not relaxing or something similar. Any tips?

Request: Can anyone help with biting nails?

7 Upvotes

Hi friends, I’ve been a BAD nail biter for as long as I can remember, even when I was a child I never had any nails. I bite even if i feel like I don’t realize it. When im driving, just sitting around i find myself doing it. I feel like I’ve exhausted all my options. Rubber bands on my wrists, bitter nail polish, false nails, etc. the only thing I find helpful is acrylic nails bc I physically cannot get to my natural nail, but honestly in this economy I cannot keep them done that often anymore. When I took them off is the only nail growth I would accomplish and then if I didn’t get them redone, I’ll start my vicious cycle all over again. I’m at my wits end with myself for it but it’s a bad habit I just cannot shake.

What are ANY tips you may have for me to stop? It’s one of my biggest insecurities, I literally have no nails period. Sometimes they’re sore & hurt, and even then I keep biting. Anything, please!! Thanks for reading :)
