I would go along with it and hang out and don’t expect anything more. At worst, you have a fun new friend whom you like to hang out with --that’s a win! Since she has no problems making the first move, if she wants this to be more, she’ll let you know. Just have fun with your new friend!
Applause to you for this.
Next level shirts are almost perfect
I wear tall sizes which makes finding shirts a pain. Old Navy has tall sizes and their t shirts are on sale for $6 a few times a year. And they’re very soft and comfortable! I buy like 5 every couple of years.
In the US, most of the food is made in the same factories because they’re regional, then the name brands might get to pick the freshest batch, but often it’s the exact same stuff just in different boxes.
We eat generic all the time, but I will say that frosted flakes and honey nut Cheerios do taste a bit better with the name brand. Luckily, they’re really cheap a couple times a year and I’ll buy a couple boxes then that last me pretty much until they’re on mega sale again
Also: if it’s very swollen, that pressure stabilizes the injury and so it won’t hurt as much because things can’t move around. This is not a good sign.
Did the same thing years ago. It was huge and black and blue. X-rays showed that I only strained it (no actual tears or tissue damage), but I could almost walk on it. It hurt, but I have a different tolerance for pain. I got a neoprene ankle brace with a splint in it and wore that for about 2 months afterwards. It was about 4 months before I was running again.
Now, having said all that, go see a doctor. You may have damaged it differently. There are a lot of bones and tendons in your foot and they all need to work properly for you to walk, so get it checked out. You might be out a few hundred dollars, but if you can’t walk in 40 years, you’ll probably wish you’d done it. Even if it’s bad, there’s a good chance you’ll be just wearing the same neoprene brace this summer.
You could look into being a driver for Cisco: they supply a huge number of restaurants. Might give you connections that you could parlay into working for a different food distributor as either a driver or salesman. I also knew a guy who power washed businesses, like the exteriors. Just showed up and washed the outside walls. I had no idea this was a thing. I think he had to do it overnight though, so might be potentially dangerous in certain areas.
I so hope someone in Hollywood is working on this
Get a workout buddy. Can be a friend or spouse or a trainer, but someone who will make you show up because you know they’re going to be there and you’ll be a jackass if you bail on them. They’ll also make you look forward to the time together, and help you not think about being tired or sore or sweaty or how many left you have, whatever. I’m a trainer and my most valuable skill is making my clients forget they’re working out and that they hate working out. The less you hate what you’re doing, the more likely you are to do it, so find something you don’t mind, and then find someone you like to do it with. Start there.
If you want to get into gym life and weight training, find a good trainer. Date around and find someone you click with. The Internet is full of good and bad advice, but a real(that means certified) trainer will have mostly good advice. If you can’t afford a trainer, then stick to the machines because it’s harder to hurt yourself on those. Anything is better than nothing, but be sure to take your time because moving too fast causes injuries and injuries only waste time, set you back and possibly stop you for good. Learn to enjoy the process and the journey and this will become the lifestyle change people say it should be.
Good luck and be sure to have fun!
I do not have enough up votes for this
I regret that I have only 1 upvote to give
I can’t remember the band or the song, but I remember the VH1 pop-up version where they told you tidbits during the video. The whole thing was 1 take (shot on film in those days) and included a part where they passed the camera through a car. The camera operator had to hand the camera off to someone, run around to the other side of the car and then take it back without it looking like that happened, and while everyone was singing in time. I was a film student at the time and in awe about how well it was done. So much so that I can still see that part, but I cannot remember the song.
I was thinking of working on a PhD, but enough people with a PhD have told me not to that I’ve decided maybe I should listen to the smart people and not do it. Best wishes to you, you tortured soul!
My in-laws told my wife that it was just the “music truck”. She had no idea it sold ice cream until she was in high school.
Had a Honda that we sold after 16 or 17 years. It was not without problems, but it was cheap to fix and ran very well for it’s age. Have a Chevy Tahoe now (but any full size truck is comparable) that is going on the same record. Haven’t had to do anything outside of regular maintenance, runs great.
Here’s the thing: don’t buy a really cheap car because those probably have problems and it will always be one thing after another. A big truck will run forever (I see dozens of 30+ year old trucks on the road) if you take care of it, but they’re sometimes expensive to fix and usually impractical if you don’t already need a truck. Any car you really take care of – and that means doing all the maintenance on time or early, sometimes whether it needs it or not – should last a long time. My Tahoe I take care of meticulously because it was very expensive, and that has paid off with stress-free ownership. Had a Jeep that was a pain in the ass every other month.
You can Google for a list of the cars that will go past 200k. Most of them are Hondas and Toyotas, but some American cars are on the list too. If you can find someone who works for a car rental agency, they’ll tell you the cars that are always getting repaired and the ones that never do.
In your field, it might. But honestly, what makes the biggest difference is who you know and how well you fit in where you work.
I majored in film with a minor in photo, perfect track to be a cinematographer. Found out I didn’t really like that industry, just loved making pretty images. I learned a lot of other skills but the most valuable one was how to relate to people and understand what they’re saying when they’re not actually saying what they want. I’ve since switched careers to something totally different, but I use so many things I learned in college unrelated to focusing cameras. You have learned a lot that’s going to help you for the rest of your life. You might not know it for a long time, but you’ll eventually find your way.
I went back to school. You can find tons of online courses in just about any subject, and some will count for real college credit if you ever want to turn it into a degree. Many are free, but some will cost you and most are worth it. A way to make your addiction productive.
