Reply to LPT Request: Dealing with neck pain for the past 3 days, what should I do next? What can I do in the future to prevent this? by DaisyClaims
Get a foam roller place it at the base of your neck, keep knees bent and roll up and at the same time raise both hands over head as the roller moves down your upper back, when you reach armpits roll side to side and massage those muscles as well roll to neck tuck chin and side to side, repeat. Leave a tennis ball in your car to place between your seat and shoulder, spine, neck while driving and massage. Find another ball firmer and smaller to place between wall and shoulder and massage. Drink water, no booze, and no nicotine. There are many more tools I use but this should get u started.

I mean some people would rather avoid that if possible, doctors aren’t cheap.

Found a trick for blood as I had a nose bleed on my pillowcase a month ago. This method worked so well I couldn't believe it.
Soak the spot in some hydrogen peroxide as others have said, maybe 20-30 minutes. Squeeze out any excess so it is not dripping. Then using a clothes iron and hot iron over the stain for about 20 seconds or so and then repeat the process with the hydrogen peroxide and hot iron again a few times until the stain is completely gone or just has an ever so slightly faint outline of what it once was.
Then once gone, give it a light wash in the machine as normal.

Please go to a chiropractor. They can usually figure out what your issue is and give you relief TODAY.

Reply to LPT: If you get a second job, you might need to adjust your tax withholding. Otherwise you'll probably owe a lot at the end of the year. by weluckyfew
The IRS withholding calculator does a pretty good job of recommending withholding amounts for multiple jobs if you can estimate your income from each job.

You don’t know that. Unless you have first-hand knowledge about this person and their struggle, you are reading into it.

You could say it. But you're talking about a person who probably needs income to survive. The power imbalance comes into play.

I agree. But the move is to not eat at places that subsidize their employees earnings with tips.

Reply to LPT AirTag your pets! by JemJemIsHerName
There’s also a tag called Byte Tag that’s relatively inexpensive ($10) to buy and the service is free. It works all around the world. They put a QR code and a URL onto the tag that can be scanned by whoever finds your dog. As soon as they do, you get a notification with their GPS coordinates and they get whatever info you’ve allowed shared like phone number, health info, instructions if found, etc. No batteries etc. It works great.

A motorcycle is the least likely vehicle to endanger anybody's life, in a wreck there is usually no damage to a regular vehicle, or it's passenegers

Reply to LPTR: I get disproportionately angry whenever somebody in my immediate family does something wrong and always end up regretting my reaction. how can I control myself in the moment? by roastedpepper17
Something that helped me not get angry at my family in general was to realize that they're just people.
Growing up with them we constructed a notion that they are wiser, smarter, more experienced. I used to think the same and whenever they said something wrong or misinformed I would get angry. How could someone "so smart" say something"so stupid". If I put them in the same category as "other random people" it immediately diffuses this "halo" around them that I constructed as a child. They know some things and are better at some things than me, just like any random person is, but they're not perfect.
Another realization along the same lines is that because they're family they will do what's in my best interests, because I'm their family. This is rarely the case. If I think of them as people who care about me but remove the "debt" element from our relationship, e.g. they should listen to me, they should help me (because I'm family), it becomes a lot easier to manage the relationship. They care about me, yes, but they don't necessarily owe me anything.
