I'd like to add that if you continue spying on your SO, your friends who are mature with responsibilities of their own don't want to hear about it. Go to your gossipy friends and share every iota of what you're doing, speculating, etc. Leave your mature, balanced friends out of it.

Wow. Very good tip and easy for someone in that situation to do!

Maybe get some actual proof?

I’m a big fan of sending a text message with a funny greeting picture and a kind note to say I’m thinking of them, or wishing them a happy holiday, etc. And ask how they are doing.

You don’t have to have a huge conversation, but every time you think of a distant friend, take 30 seconds to send a quick note. Why not!

> “Hey, just saw this cool ____ and thought of you. Hope you’re doing well! Send me your news!”

Something like this is always welcome.

If they do it through the app like that, the driver gets a tip that is paid by Amazon. They need to physically say it to Alexa in order for the driver to get that tip. It’s some type of promotion that’s going on right now, but will probably end by the new year.

Why the fuck would you thank the driver? Just say it in the yard or let them go. They don't want to talk to you.

Music. On my drive to work I listen to hard rock at full volume and scream my heart out. My current favorite song for this purpose is Godsmack's Something Different. I arrive relaxed and ready to deal with coworkers and customers.

"Am I being annoying?"

"No! Of course not! ... Why do you ask?"

Instead of telling them they're annoying, this probe gets them to tell you. You can react gently but honestly and constructively to what they say. It's a much kinder way to give a friend the help they're asking for.

If you need quick relief, your sense of smell is very effective. Anything mint/peppermint will be very effective. I use a roll on stick from Saje, and I've never been an essential oil guy, but it works wonders. Or you can invest in a diffuser.

Yes. Thank you for saving me the trouble of breaking it to ya kid...

Now scram kid, ya bother me

And slather chapstick as much as ppssible all around the nose exterior and interior before bed

"No, I'm just sensitive"

Or any other line that takes the blame and puts it on you.

It's the best way to get out of so many situations with no hurt feelings.

"you've been a bit much to be honest"

Always focus on the what as opposed to whom.

I'm the kind of person to just say yes. If they didn't want the truth, they shouldn't have asked. Besides, I would risk hurting their feelings than continue being annoyed.

This. Then when you blow your nose, you wipe the Vaseline off your nostrils instead of your skin. Reapply right after blowing. Best to use qtips to apply if you can, to avoid dipping into the pot and introducing bacteria.

Sometimes all it takes is a few words to express your gratitude and appreciation for the people in your life that light up the darkness... Thank you for being in my life E$ you are amazing ❤️
