There is a movie called The God's Must Be Crazy". It is a hoot to watch. Remote tribe finds a coca cola bottle in the desert and consider it to be a message from God.

Don’t you think you will change your mind?

Can confirm. I have black clothes, dark interior and dark haired cats. It's funny talking to people who complain about animal hair while i'm kinda covered in it but they don't notice even when i'm pointing it out

Are you trying?
Do you want kids?
Why don’t you want them?
Do you know what you’re missing by not having kids?
Why don’t you give it a shot, you’ll love it?
Do you hate your mother?
Why are you so mean and not giving me grandkids?
Quick! Someone think of 3 more!

Yes, definitely try it! I hated reading for so much of my life till I realized it was because of ADHD. And then once college was over and I didn’t have to read x number of pages by a certain deadline, I could embrace the fact that I was a “slow reader” and finally enjoy it for once. It took the pressure off of it and allowed me to finally do it just for pleasure.

Reply to LPT request: How to reduce my anxiety? by quantafolia
I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with anxiety. It can be very difficult to manage. Here are a few techniques that I have found to be helpful when anxiety strikes:
-
Practicing deep breathing exercises: Slow and steady breaths can help to bring your heart rate down and can also help to reduce tension in the body.
-
Engaging in calming activities: Doing activities such as yoga, taking a walk, reading a book, or listening to music can help to distract your mind from anxious thoughts and promote relaxation.
-
Talk to a trusted friend, family member, or counselor: Having someone to talk to about anxious thoughts and feelings can be very helpful.
-
Exercise: Regular exercise can be beneficial for reducing anxiety.
I hope these suggestions are helpful to you.

Reply to comment by FlamingoWalrus89 in LPT: when taking something out of the oven always use two oven mitts even if you plan on only using one hand. If you accidentally drop the hot pan your instinct will be to grab it with your other hand which you’ll be glad is wearing an oven mitt! by [deleted]
It's BECAUSE it is basic that mistakes happen. When you bake often you get pretty confident you know the drill and so you aren't expecting that random mistake or distraction or obstruction that causes you to react in panic. When you react in panic, your sense of logic goes out the window.
Do y'all just not cook or bake often, because I could see this being hard to relate to if baking was something you always need focus for.

Audiobooks have changed my LIFE. No matter where my mind wants to go, the audiobook keeps reading, so I need to pay attention! I can read so much faster this way. So glad it’s helped you too!

See Dr. Tracey Marks videos on YouTube about anxiety. They are excellent.

I have the same question I always have about things like this. If God wanted to send you a message, what reason would he have for being so vague? So absolutely ambiguous. If he's omnipotent and has information for you, surely a loud noise is not an effective way to share it.
Other ineffective ways to send important messages include: floods, diseases, unexplained substances appearing on religious statues, images on toast, etc.

I find it hilarious when people believe in god but also don’t believe god is omnipotent. Like why couldn’t god be dealing with the natural disasters and also causing loud noises for OP? How many problems is your god limited to dealing with at any given time in your opinion?

I understand how you feel. It can be very overwhelming when there is a lot of noise in the hospital.

Fill your entire bathtub with water. You don't know if you'll end up needing it to flush your toilet, etc. Having access to 30-40 gallons of "clean" water can be great during a winter storm.

Reply to LPT Request: Any idea how to separate a photo that is fused with the glass on its frame? by Dwestmor1007
If the photo was taken with a film camera, there's a possibility you can submerge the photo and glass together in a tray of water to separate them.
IMPORTANT: If it was a digital camera, that means the picture was printed instead of developed, and that will ruin it completely.
Definitely look into scanning it with the glass on first to get a good digital copy before attempting to separate it.
