When someone dies unexpectedly especially a student you always hear the "he/she was the happiest, friendliest, best this or that etc." person you ever knew. I wonder if any of that was ever said about them whilst they were alive, or that person looking down from whatever is thinking WTF??????

Also works.

For real.

I hate being in pictures. Respect my boundaries.

Maybe, but I'm speaking by experience with what happened with my key.

As someone who hates having their picture taken, this sounds a lot like a them problem and not a me problem.

Let people have their boundaries without trying to guilt them into doing things they don't want to because "what about your friends and family who love and miss you".

I was paid $90 to remove a 1 star review from a prominent maker of humidifiers. Must have hit a sore spot. Yes I took the cash

So sticky!

Fall asleep on a couch with a vinyl cover, and wake up in a pool of sweat.

Do you have loved one who passed away ages ago if you do then you realize that in the end only some memories and the feeling you felt when you are with them remains

The memory starts fading after an year or 2 approx

And then after a decade only some remain and to prevent that from happening you need photos and videos

And maybe also start journaling things which are not there so that you can remember the moments aside from the photos

I've had trouble with coffee filters not draining fast enough. But I like cheese cloth for draining bacon. Gets nearly all of the tiny bits out and is very quick.

I recently went on a major holiday with my OH. We like to explore at different speeds and he loves to take multiple pictures with often lengthy set up.

When I first started to see him setting the timer and nipping in front to do the same pose and the same smile I found it a little funny if I'm honest. But the more I spotted it I find it endearing. If I'm near I nip in too and I'm so glad we have lots of slightly stilted posed pics of amazing places with him in them. I'll never be sad to see that head tilt and the special smile he has as he mentally counts down the timer.

Gasoline will unless its cold and can't vaporize. What people fail to understand is that liquid gasoline doesn't burn very well. It's the vapours of gas or when it's aerosolized that it explodes.

You can shove your lit cigarettes in diesel/oil all day though.

That's a fair point you raise, but no. You can't learn this type of stuff yourself. You need a second person to be a sounding board.

Because you need to be able to voice out the stuff in your head in order to process it. A good therapist should then be able to coach you. That bit, the coaching part, that's what is essential. You could do something similar with a friend, or a lover, or a random person you plucked from the street, but you won't know if that person will be able to ask the right questions to steer you in a direction that helps you. It could even be detrimental for your mental health if it's the wrong questions.

Sadly, the same goes when your therapist is not a good fit for you. And it sounds like the therapist you mentioned was that for you. It's unfortunate someone has to get an appointment to get on a waiting list, then book an appointment, have several sessions before you realize this person doesn't work for you. And you have to go through the whole circus again. But that's an issue of healthcare, not therapy in itself.

Also, I would've personally told that therapist to stop being so creepily obsessed with my tattoos. I'd be there with a specific goal in mind, not listen to their Freudian excuses for being a creep.

Oh my good lord this is how my boss operates.

Every time there's a tiny problem she introduces a whole new system to prevent it. We have to walk over to the other building about twice a day. Last week my coworker and I both walked over at the same time so nobody answered the door when this dude knocked. Whoopsie. Now, any level-headed person would know without prompt that we should simply peak around the corner and say "hey I'm walking over." Problem solved, now we won't go at the same time.

Nope, now we have a binder. And every time we walk over we have to initial the date and time we're walking over and when we return. Now we can see if the other person is already over there. But if you stand where the binder is hanging you can easily see if the other person is there or not. So now we have this whole new binder system thing, which is one of a bajillian binder system things she's implemented. I swear to god I could leave by 9:45am with all my work done if I didn't have to fill out all these redundant binder forms.

By the way, that guy who knocked when no one was there? I saw him from the other building and just walked over and said hello. So the system solves a problem that doesn't exist. Oh, and the dude was at the wrong address.

Nope.

This is very valuable and applicable for healthy mental health.

This is reasonable.

I'd suggest a 300% Cellulose Tax on all of those products too though, just to be extra safe.

Paper towel is highly flammable and even more so when soaked in grease.

Kitchen towels are high flammable and even more so when soaked in grease.

Grease is highly flammable and even more so when soaked into fabric.

Your clothes are high flammable and even more so when soaked in grease.

This and many other interesting facts common to 95% of the human race at six.

Serious question --- if you consider the point of view of somebody like OP, who wishes he had more photos to help him remember and reflect on time he spent with his cherished now-deceased loved one, vs. your brief discomfort at having to stand in place for under a minute, and briefly have to contemplate the uncomfortable fact that you exist and are perceived by other people ----- OP wins. Every time. Consent plays no part in this, and if you honestly bring that up as a reason to finagle out of a class, family, or friendgroup photo, you are not only being very disingenuous but revealing a very diseased view of everyday life.

The classes don't 'teach art', they help you with the skills needed to express yourself. Take glass art for example, you have to learn how to handle molten glass in order to do it.

Once you master the skills, all bets are off. You are free to use the skills or make your own, break the rules. This is what real artists do.

1000% this. Well said

Memories fade with time so having pictures and videos helps.
