NGD: A love letter to my Parker P-36
2023.03.25 18:04 Brodiggitty NGD: A love letter to my Parker P-36
Photos: https://imgur.com/a/RXm5YLF
I was not prepared for how much I was going to love playing this guitar.
I got it in a trade a few weeks ago. Dude said he was open to pedals. During the pandemic, I had become mildly obsessed with building my own from scratch. So seven pedals later, I was the owner of a Parker P-36.
Parkers are like the hippos of the guitar world. You’ve seen lots of pictures of them. Maybe you’ve seen one in the wild or at the zoo. But would you really want to tangle with one?
Ok, maybe my stupid analogy breaks down at this point. Of course you would want to tangle with a Parker. You’ve heard of that legendary “playability”. Whatever that is. Ask anyone who’s played a Parker. That’s the word they’ll use: playable.
Shouldn’t that be the be-all end-all of any guitar? How playable is it? How easy is it to get the sounds in your head down your neck, along your arms, out through your fingers and into the ears of the audience?
The problem is this: Guitars are the only musical instrument that are also a fashion accessory. You wear a guitar, like a purse or a bag. They come in different styles. And the styles supposedly announce to the world what sort of music you’re about to play. Nobody is rocking John Mayer licks on a pointy Dean guitar with a lightning bolt paint job.
But, like any fashion accessory, the rules can be bent or broken for effect. Trucker cap with a three piece suit. Reebok high tops with an evening gown. The P-36 is at once a nod to one of the classic styles, and a zany 90s guitar. It starts at the bottom looking very familiar. Literally it’s a copy of the first mass-market electric guitar ever manufactured. And then it seems to stretch into the future as you move up the body, morphing with its recognizable cutaways all the way up to its minimalist headstock.
Could this be the mullet of guitars? Is it trying to be two things at once? Business in the back, party in the front? I digress. Whatever it is, It is weird. That’s it. That’s the aesthetic. It may be ugly, but I love it.
And yes, I know this isn’t a REAL Parker. It’s not the hyper-light though-neck graphite engineering marvel that was just too ahead of its time. Yes, I tried the trick were you balance the guitar on one finger from the top horn. It doesn’t work with this, because it’s made of wood. It’s actually quite heavy. I’d guess 8-9 pounds. But personally, I like a bit of heft in a guitar. I equate heft with quality. Ever pick up a Danelectro?
The P-36s were made in Korea. This one is from 05. People may turn their nose up at Asian-made guitars, but I’ve had good luck with my Korean Epiphone from the late 90s, and I see similarities in this guitar. There’s a mix of high-end parts and some forgivable cost cutting measures. The Grover tuners (18-1) are beautiful. They just feel nice to touch, not that it needs much tuning. They are thick and chunky. Again, there’s that heft.
The body and finish is beautiful. Swap ash, I believe. It’s a modern finish, not a nitro, that seems to be scratch resistant and durable.
The pickguard is a black one-piece with a bevelled edge. I usually don’t like one-piece pickguards, and this seems to be where they tried to save a buck in production. It is starting to bow outward, and this is apparently a thing with these guitars. It’s not something I’m going to try and fix right now, but it's a relatively easy fix.
The little 3-way switch allows you to go from the normal pickups to a piezo mounted in the bridge, or a mix of both. This switch is one more place where it feels a bit cheap. Someday I may swap that switch out for something more chunky. The piezo, on the other hand, sounds beautiful. And the ability to blend it with the pickups gives you near-limitless tone possibilities.
But the real beauty of this guitar is the neck. Having never played a real Parker, I can’t talk about how much of the playability lies in the lightness. But I’m guessing most of the credit goes to the neck and action.That is definitely found in its Korean cousin. It’s just right, at least for me. A flattish radius. Very narrow width at the top. Low action. It is indeed the most playable guitar I’ve ever picked up. I’m no virtuoso. I’m just a blues dad who wants to learn more. But techniques and chords I previously struggled with just flow out from this thing,. Southern bends, complicated bar chords, even the very basics, like bends and vibrato - they just come easier.
If a traditional Strat is like driving a classic 60’s car, playing a Parker is like suddenly getting into a modern car with power steering. Sometimes fighting with the machine to make it do what you want is half the fun, but sometimes you just want to point the car and drive.
It’s hard to pin down exactly what it is, but it is indeed “playable.”
Even if this guitar was born of a horrible compromise — the accounting department moving in on what had been a piece of art, trying to mass produce something for a budget crowd — I don’t care. The result was a well-made guitar. It’s easily on par with any MIM Strat or Epiphone in terms of quality. This could be my new number one.

2023.03.25 18:03 beepboop7420 Date didn't go well
I've decided to meet someone new after over a year of isolating myself completely and I'm really ashamed of myself.
Basically, we smoked and cuddled in my bed and I couldn't chill at ALL. I was so fucking anxious, I could only think about how he must think of me, how I'm talking and how I move, how I'm laying, I felt so weird and awkward. And as soon as he started touching/petting me I was so scared I literally had to throw up. I threw up 2 or 3 times and fell asleep afterwards because I was so exhausted. He left at 5 in the morning and didn't even hug me as a goodbye.
I feel like a mess, and I'm so embarrassed. I'm afraid of being alone forever. I can't take this anymore. I literally hate myself so much. It feels like I dont deserve any love, partner or friend in this world. I'm just not made for this

2023.03.25 18:03 PLAYER0100 Who is fnaf 4 protagonist
this has been going on for awhile since the release of the logbook, people start wondering if Michael afton is the player in fnaf 4, some people think that fnaf 4 is a dream Michael having during fnaf 1 because the similarity between fnaf 1 and fnaf 4, however fnaf 4 isn't a dream SL had proved this, I believe the player in fnaf 4 is bite victim, in the jumpscares in fnaf 4 you can hear a child's cry in it and the bite victim cry out when his brother jumpscare him, the cry can't be for because he's a teen/adult, the player hight, the player in fnaf 4 is short and barely can reach the door handle which means we play as a child in fnaf 4, and in SL private room there's fredbear plush and if we taipe 1983 it'll show monitor to fnaf 4, the fredbear plush and the date 1983 together are a direct sign to bite victim, and in fnaf 4 there's a chance medical equipment and flowers appearing next to the bed, the medical equipment are a hint to the bite victim, after he was bitten he was sent to a hospital where he spent his last night, some people try to connect the medical equipment to Michael but I can't see how they are connected, and in SB patient 46 who proved to be Gregory who could be a rebuild version of bite victim doesn't like flowers, why he doesn't like flowers because it reminds him of his last night. this would explain the bite victim fear of animatronics but doesn't fear plushies he even called them his friends and in fnaf that's what happen the animatronics are dangerous but when turn into plushies they're good, and in fnaf 6 there's a poster that represents the afton family, a clown represents Elizabeth and a man in purple holding a puppet represents William and Michael and a bear with giant claws and teeth and a party hat represents bite victim, the only characters with this mix of claws and teeth are the nightmares which means there's a connection between bite victim and the nightmares, also patient 46 afread from the outside and want to close the window, the truma of bite victim is based on keeping the doors and closet locked and sealed. now you might be wondering why did Michael draw nightmare fredbear why do we hear phone guy from fnaf 1 in fnaf 4, well I don't think the drawing is for nightmare fredbear but for nightmare because nightmare and nightmare fredbear are the same design they're just different in colours and the drawing isn't coloured, and in fnaf 4 files nightmare name is actually shadow Freddy which means shadow Freddy is actually nightmare and in fnaf world shadow Freddy text says "I will eat your soul" sounds similar to what fredbear did to bite victim, well in fazber frights Andrew the one represent Cassidy can't see but in the games bite victim is the one who can't see, in the books Andrew can't see because he possis a battery but what about bite victim what's stopping him from seeing, well in the end of fnaf fredbear plush tell bite victim that he's broken it's a weird way to say you're dying or you're about to die he also said he'll put him back together, we know that bite victim possis fredbear aka golden Freddy but what about shadow Freddy we know that the shadow animatronic are made of dark remnant aka agony could shadow Freddy be made of bite victim's agony this would explain why he can't see why he's broken he's soul is split into two parts part want revenge and part want to rest that would explain why we hear phone guy from fnaf 1 because in fnaf 1 golden Freddy recognised Michael or in other words bite victim recognised his brother when he was saying IT'S ME, shadow Freddy attached himself into Michael turning into nightmare, that would explain the similarity between golden and nightmare, when you get jumpscared by golden Freddy you see his head and hear a screm and the game crash and when you get jumpscared by nightmare you see his head and hear a weird noise like an ambulance and the game reopen itself it's almost like Michael just woke up and go back to sleep again, and if nightmarion was the fearful reflection of Charlie then nightmare is the fearful reflection of bite victim, in fnaf 3 we see shadow Freddy with no eyes which means he's not possised and bite victim had been put back together. so in the end who is the player in fnaf 4, well apparently both of them, to Michael it's a dream to bite victim it's real expect for his last night, but in the end bite victim is the real protagonist of fnaf 4.

2023.03.25 18:03 liberatethruexposure My mom would make us steal for her when we were children
As a kid to my early teens (at 15 I was put in foster care, reasons not related to this), my mom would teach and make my sister (now 21yo) and I (now 28yo) steal for her. She would send us off alone to some aisle to get something and bring it to her at a different part of the store. Or have us wear a bookbag and she'll slip things into it. There was a point I realized what was going on and I didn't want to help. She would get aggressively frustrated (mom curses us out like nobody's business); I essentially would get in trouble for NOT stealing. But she backed off at one point from getting me to help because my little sister was more willing- likely because of her age- to do it. My most traumatic memory related to this was when a family for evicted and all their stuff was outside. My mom demanded I help her bring shit to our place. It was AWFUL, my mom is a piece of shit I know. I was 14 holding the opposite end of a dresser while crying as we moved it. That was the first and only time (that I remember anyway) that my mom made us steal from other people. In 2018 my mom and sister got arrested together from stealing at Food Lion. My sister got arrested at her first job- Boost Mobile- for stealing from the register. Both my mom and sister do petty thefts nowadays. I'm currently 7 months homeless and living in a storage trailer; in the beginning of this homeless experience, I eventually had to break and SOLELY stole from Goodwill and Salvation Army for necessary supplies, those two places I was able to justify a bit to do it. (Also very occasionally food from Sheetz, but I have EBT now so don't). So outside of this issue, I don't steal AT ALL. I recently had a friend that was stealing shoes in front of me at Walmart out of freaking no where, and I had to leave them and go out the store because I was having a panic attack.
With all that being said, lately I've been wanting to, idk, dissect this childhood experience with my therapist. I've been searching online for related articles and finding anything is damn near impossible. No matter how I phrase the search, the results are nearly all about the parent or child stealing from one another or parents dealing with their child's stealing habit.
What I would like to find is an article/video/anything of a person describing a similar experience like I have above. If anyone could please link something like that to me I'd greatly appreciate it.

2023.03.25 18:02 Bubbly_Trick863 Do you ever ask, “Why me?”
Does anyone else ever have moments of remembering you literally have a disability? I know there’s so many ways that people have it worse, but its like, there’s something cruel about having an invisible disability that makes it hard for you to function in society. In America, we really have this pull yourself up by your bootstraps idea that pure will power can overcome any disadvantages, and if theres a will theres a way. But isn’t the nature of this disorder that you don’t actually have control over directing that will power? This is such a demoralizing disorder in a society that equates productivity with self worth. I know I’m throwing a real pity party right now, but sometimes I really do ask “Why me?”. I feel like a bull in a china shop, like I can ruin my entire life so fast and the worst part is that society will slap the “failure” and “lazy” labels on you when inside you were already saying these things to yourself as you lay paralyzed in your bed. Its like a disorder where I can never claim my life for my own, create what I want to, direct my will. This disorder is so strange because it can ruin your life but simultaneously people are telling you its not real! I almost want to stop telling people I have “ADHD” because no one takes it seriously. Like what the hell! Just venting and to see if anyone relates or has anything they’d like to share.

2023.03.25 18:02 satirical_whit recently disabled so I bought a slide in camper as a project. thoughts and suggestions welcome
I bought an '84 Leer six pack for my long bed f250. It's not in great shape but I could use it as-is if I needed to. The electrical works, gas, stove, and toilet/shower functional, etc. I've got a camping trip coming up in May that I'd like to use it at but actually doing the work on it is a slow prospect due to my low energy levels.
I'd like to modernize it where it's convenient to do so, I'm in the process of pulling out the black water tank and toilet to replace them with a cassette setup for ease of use and so I can expand my fresh and gray water tanks. My disability doesn't require a wheelchair or anything but I do use a cane, and balance is an issue for me so just getting up into the bed at the top without falling is a bit of a chore, so handholds are also things I'm putting in.
Any other thoughts or ideas on how to modernize this thing or improve it in any ways? Keep in mind that this toilet project I've been working on for about a week and haven't even gotten the current plumbing out, so no huge overhauls or anything like that because I'm doing this solo and only have the energy to work on this about a half hour per day.
Thanks a ton. I'd post pictures but figured y'all knew what it looks like but I can post a link to a couple if that'll help

2023.03.25 18:02 ItsSnoky 25 [M4F] UK/Europe - United in dreams within this Kingdom.
IntroductionWell hello there! (General Kenobi!). I'm Snoky also known as you'll find out when we get to know eachother
I’m a 25 year old English/Norwegian guy from the U of K! I currently work in the IT Sector within the Local Government and my god I forgot how hectic the public sector was after i left it roughly 4 years ago. I did indeed have quite a shock coming back 😅
ApperanceI'm on the bigger side but am looking to get that changed with some help due to i'm not very happy with the way thing's are currently. Minus that I'm 6'1/6'2, depends on which doctor you ask! I have short-ish hair dark blonde hair? I think? I'm not very good with colors so you'll have to tell me whenever we decide to exchange pictures.
Which i will be more than happy to exchange later on once we get to know eachother!
Main Intrests/HobbiesMy main interests are either playing games with some friends on the PC, studying for future certifications and mainly what I do after work just kicking back and watching whatever random things I can find on YouTube (I aren’t a big TV person). I used to watch a lot of anime but I tend to drop out of it for a year and then I get back in to it then I lose interest again heh, it’s just a thing that I’ve been doing for years on end.
I am somewhat in to movies but I haven’t really properly watched any within the last year or so but if I was to give a rough genre, I’d say dark-ish movies with a grabbing story i.e. DC films and a here and there Marvel film (IW ftw!) I much more prefer it when the bad guy gets the upper hand and basically wins as close to that of Thanos basically.
My main music choices? Everywhere and everything. If my ears like it, then chances are I’ll most likely like it. I’d write down all the artists I follow right now but trust me it’d take too long to go over so it’d probs better to just share my Spotify playlist lmao. But to give a quick sum up I’d say its more around mixed genre, alt-rock basically.
I do also write my own stuff as well, but again like anime I do it for like 6 months then stop, then start a year later so eh it’s a pretty hit and miss hobby for me 😅
Future Prospects?As mentioned in my apperance section i'm in the process of trying to get fit with weight loss as I’m not very happy with how I am at the moment especially when it comes to health after a incident a few years ago but that’s neither here nor the future as I’m looking to change it with the help of the NHS and people around me. I'd be more than happy to join forces together with someone who's trying to do the same thing!
I currently own my own company which is currently under going some development but hasn't actually started as of yet (still looking in that area) but it will get there at somepoint!
Alongside my own company I’m also undergoing a project with a close friend of mine that we’re trying to pursue which is actually happening alongside the org itself so it's all looping togetherslowly but surely.
What am i looking for?I'm looking for someone who's intrested in getting to know eachother, someone who's got my back and i've got theres, someone i can well essentially "grow" with and get to know, someone who's willing to put the effort in to get to know me and vice versa.I'd like said person to be able to hold a convoersation with me as i've been in too many instances where it's all been one sided convos with me basically putting in more effort than the other person but alas that's neither here nor there and hopfully I'll maybe find the person who would share that equal effort with me. And trust me I've been ghosted loads of times to the point it's like "bruh, just why?" but anyway!
I'm open to long distant's so long as there's a goal to meet eachother in the somewhat near future!
The End?If you've made it this far after this somewhat long post then i must congradulate you!
I now have a small question for you to send me the answer too when you message me.
On what date and or month was a i born? I was born on the month of a certain red birthstone on a international memorial day
p.s, if you don't get it it doesn't matter it's worth a try regardless
Small partial note; If your going to time waste and just ghost me please don't bother messaging me as i'm only intrested in getting to know actual serious people...and please be able to hold a convosation with me and vice versa!

p.s, if you don't get it it doesn't matter it's worth a try regardless
Small partial note; If your going to time waste and just ghost me please don't bother messaging me as i'm only intrested in getting to know actual serious people...and please be able to hold a convosation with me and vice versa!
2023.03.25 18:02 Andromediea What’s your favorite recharge activities?
I personally hardly get TRUE alone time since my bf (M28) is an extrovert. Sometimes he’ll leave me alone if I ask, but he’s always still in the same house. My bf enjoys doing stuff with me, even if it’s just going to the grocery store. Fortunately I’ve long since adapted to it. However, when I get true alone time (he’s out with friend or family) I find I do stuff I never really do when he’s around.
For example, right now I put on a nature video for my cats and am just watching them. I love just watching my cats interact or play. I savor in not having to talk to anyone. Usually if he’s gone I won’t say a single word until he comes home. It’s fantastic.
When he’s home he almost always has music playing, so sometimes when he’s gone I just enjoy the quiet house. I love music too, but when it’s always playing I sometimes don’t feel the need to put it on.
In general I can mini recharge by going on walks by myself or immersing myself in a book. I reallyyyyy savor those moments when I go to bed before him and I’m alone for a little while.

2023.03.25 18:02 Dear_Huckleberry7903 Nightmare
I had a vivid dream last night that I was sitting with co-workers and having a drink. Soon after my first, I was pounding back different cocktails that kept showing up at the table. Margaritas, vodka sodas, cosmos, anything in sight. When I realized I had finished 6 drinks so quickly, I started feeling dread of what I had done. I mindlessly threw back gulp after gulp. I started to get scared of how I was going to to explain this to my partner because I would soon blackout.
I woke from the flipping and pitting feeling in my stomach and my eyes shot open. I was sleeping and awoke in my bed with my dog and realized it was all a dream. I felt somewhat relieved but the dream felt so real that I still overwhelming guilt.
It has been 13 days sober. My fiancé wants to leave me. We had a long talk last night about what our future looks like and I don’t think it’ll be together. I love him and I wish I didn’t have this problem.

2023.03.25 18:01 xklept0xCT New collector accidentally burns crypto punk (77 eth) . This isn't good for adoption
Sorry I tried posting the article a couple times but it kept going removed/taken down. Wasn't the normal "already posted" reason so imcouodnt figure it out.
When the stakes of making such a mistake have such huge consequences how can we believe normal, not tech savvy, people will adopt crypto? This is just one of many instances where someone wasn't "educated " enough and made a very costly mistake. After making a mistake like this, most people turn away from it, tell people about it, spread FUD/horror stories. To establish REAL adoption, we need a simpler interface, interoperability, as well as a ON boarding dex. If the only ways to dump money into crypto are currently in centralized exchanges. Having an easily accessible decentralized exchange would be a huge start in the right direction. Especially with all the banking fears currently going on. Of course this would be a complicated dapp at first, but through time this is one step we need. Not decentralized swaps, but somewhere people can deposit there checks, buy with there debit card, ect. Store/swap and send tokens to and from. More then just a wallet that " offers" purchases but a combination of the current system. Of tracking prices, holding/storing/swapping, deposits and most importantly WITHDRAWALS!!! On ramps are very important, but when it's nearly impossible to find a off-ramp/withdrawal that isn't through a KYC centralized exchange it shows, to me at least, weak points in the current system. Maybe I'm niave or don't understand part of the process, so am happy to hear it explained another way. I get KYC verification partly is used to help prevent scams, etc. But it would be nice to have another option available.

2023.03.25 18:00 Courleymatts111 My dogs won’t get along
I’m usually a one dog person and have been that way since I got milley 7 years ago. She’s a pap/chihuahua mix. Sadly my grandma passed away last year. Which left stardust, her 12 yr old mini poodle with no one. Milley has always been a jealous dog and has never really been good with other dogs so I was hesitant about taking her in but couldn’t see letting my grandmas sweet girl go to a shelter. She’s been with me about a year and I feel awful about that decision. Stardust is great but milley is constantly attacking her for eating, playing, laying on the bed you name it. I can’t really even give her much attention because if I do milley will either retaliate or turn into Velcro dog for the rest of the night. I thought about giving stardust to a new home but my heart won’t let it happen. She’s to old and we’re attached. When they fight I don’t yell or anything just separate them for a few hours, I read an article saying that’s the best course of action but it’s not working. I don’t know what to do I’m at a loss, if you have any advice please let me know thank you

2023.03.25 18:00 cr6sxwastaken Did latest driver update break features like Record and Instant Replay?
I have an MSI Venus 2X RTX 3060 Card and I've been using Instant Replay for quite a while now and it worked fine up until yesterday.
I had updated my drivers and saw that Instant Replay was turned off but I usually have it turned on. I tried turning it on but it near-instantly turns itself back off. It was a bit puzzling to me because it worked fine just until I updated my drivers. Is anyone else having this issue?

2023.03.25 18:00 stanerd Taiwan vs. Ukraine
I'm considering moving to Taiwan and have been spending a lot of time thinking about a possible invasion. A lot of people compare Taiwan to Ukraine and talk about how the people in Ukraine didn't believe the invasion would actually happen.
There are some pretty big differences though. Russia had already controlled Crimea and parts of East Ukraine for almost a decade. Russia being in Ukraine was nothing new.
Also, losing Ukraine to Russia is not nearly as big of a deal to the U.S. as losing Taiwan to China.
Biden has said that U.S. troops will defend Taiwan if it is attacked. That should be enough of a deterrent to an attack from China.
Also, the U.S. Navy regularly patrols around Taiwan and has provided a lot of military hardware and is training Taiwanese troops. I can't imagine the U.S. not defending Taiwan in the event of an attack by China.
The China threat has been around for decades. It reminds me of North Korea threatening South Korea. That has been going on for decades as well, and the people ignore it for the most part as they know the threats don't really mean much.
Of course there is a small chance that an invasion will happen, but I believe what is more realistic is a peaceful unification of Taiwan with China. A Navy commander said that the U.S. could break through a naval blockade, so I doubt it would be something along those lines.
Anyway, I think it's one of those "bark is worse than the bite" type of situations.

2023.03.25 17:58 Wotan_Wulver374 Minato was a terrible Teacher and in the Bad Books of his Students!!!!!!!
I mean just look at them:
Obito: No explanation needed. Dude literally killed him, his wife and almost his Newborn son.
Rin: Preferred to die than return to his command.
Kakashi: Had Sasuke pinned under him completely under his mercy but who gives he the thousand years of death? That’s right his Sensei’s son.
All of this makes me believe that Minato was a horrible Teacher and Commander who gave his Students/Subordinates nearly Impossible tasks, hellish training regimes and send them to do difficult missions which were actually for him but he just didn’t want to do them and wanted rather to bang his hot wife then do them so he sent his students ahead to them saying that he would be watching them but actually teleported back to Konoha to give Kushina the D while Obito, Kakashi and Rin were risking their lives in the Frontlines. On top of that he also kept most of the money of said Missions for himself instead of sharing it equally among his students and had them do his household chores and be slaves to Kushina to please her under the guise of D-Rank Missions. What do you guys think? 😅

2023.03.25 17:57 Iluthradanar When it's time to end a story
My little tale:
I have in the past few months been working on several fics. One I ended after 8 chapters. One I am near completing at 13 or 14 chapters. Another I am up to 38 chapters, but will end that fic within the next two chapters. Writing during what free time I have outside work is not allowing me to work on purging my house, a project I started but set aside when I got the urge to write fanfic again. Stats have been adequate on some of the fics, not stellar. For a while there, they were being commented on by a couple people who posted regularly, but then they stopped and it's quiet again. Fun for awhile, right? I'm just tired. I love the canon characters so thought, when I get the impulse, I'll do one shots on tumblr, Just to keep my fingers on the keyboard, but I have stuff to do around the house. So what do y'all do when you lose interest, feel neglected, or just need to get back to living life again? Not be stuck sitting at a computer pouring out your soul for readers who don't seem to care enough to say "boo"? I know, it sounds like sour grapes, but I do have things to do lol

THE INSIDE OF THE TRUNK IS FILLED WITH GASOLINE. NOW THE OUTSIDE OF THE AUTOMOBILE, IS COVERED IN GASOLINE AND ACETONE. AS I LIT THE NEWPORT, I WONDERED IF HE KNEW HE HAD SEVEN MINUTES LEFT TO BREATHE PURE AIR. MINUS THE GASOLINE STENCHED ATOMOSPHERE HE NOW RESIDES IN?

ALL I EVER WANTED WAS TO BE LOVED. HE REFUSED TO LOVE. HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW. HIS MOTHER NEVER SHOWED HIM. NEITHER DID HIS FATHER OR SIBLINGS SHOW HIM TO HOW TO LOVE. NOW THERE WAS A CROOK ON HIS NECK, GIVING HIM, A CROOK, ON HIS NECK. THE FIRST CROOK WAS ME. THE SECOND CROOK WAS HIS NECK SNAPPING. ALL I WANTED WAS AFFECTION. HE USED TO ACCUSE ME OF BETRAYING HIS AFFECTION. HE NEVER SHOWED AFFECTION. ONE DAY I JUST SNAPPED. TODAY WAS THE DAY. THIS ENDS TONIGHT, I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, AS HE GURGLED FOR BREATHE. OR IS THE WORD PINED FOR AIR? I COULD FEEL HIS INNER DESPAIR, AS HE REALIZED HE LUCKED UP, AND GOT WHAT HE DESERVED.
WE USED TO WATCH MOVIES TOGETHER. TONIGHT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MOVIE NIGHT. MOVIE NIGHT IS STILL ON. ALL I EVER WANTED FROM HIM WAS HIS TIME. HE REFUSED TO SHOW AFFECTION WHILE GIVING TIME. AS WE LAY IN THE BED TOGETHER, I TURNED ON THE FIRST 48 HOURS MARATHON. I FELL ASLEEP IMMEDIATELY. SLEEP BAIT. I WAS EXHAUSTED. IT WAS A LONG DAY. MY ACTIVITIES WERE STRENOUS. I WOKE UP THREE HOURS LATER. ON HIS CHEST. HE WAS JUST LOOKING AT ME. I COULD IMAGINE HIM SMILING. BUT HE WASN'T. HIS FACE WAS EXPRESSIONLESSLY VOID. HE LOOKED SO CALM. I WAS JUST HAPPY HE WAS STILL HERE.
I NEVER WANTED HIM TO LEAVE ME. HE NEVER ME ALONE AGAIN. ALL I WANTED WAS HIS COMPANY. I CAME HOME EVERYDAY EXCITED TO SPEND TIME WITH HIM. I ALWAYS KNEW THE RELATIONSHIP WOULDN'T LAST FOREVER. I HAD TO SETTLE FOR TIL DEATH DO US PART. HE NEVER PROPOSED OR ANYTHING BUT DON'T NEED A RING TO MAKE VOWS TO NEVER LEAVE THEIR SIDE. FROM THIS MOMENT HE HAD NEVER BETRAYED ME AGAIN. HE WAS ALWAYS THERE WHEN I NEEDED A LISTENING EAR AND A DEAR FRIEND. SO AFTER A WEEK, HIS PHONE BEGAN GETTING THOSE TYPES OF MESSAGES.
EVERYONE IN HIS RECENT CONTACT LIST AND MESSAGES FOLDER, WAS ATTEMPTING TO CONTACT. SO I WE THREW ONE FINAL BONFIRE IN THE WOODS TOGETHER. IT WAS THE MOST ROMANTIC HE HAD BEEN IN A WHILE. I DELICATELY PLACED HIS REMAINS IN THE BARREL OF ACETONE. I MADE A WISH AS HE BECAME A FLAMING STAR

2023.03.25 17:55 wise_tumbleweed My (ongoing) weight loss rollercoaster
Hey y’all, just wanted to make a quick post here for anyone who’s looking around here and maybe not doing the best with their own weight loss.
Near the beginning of the pandemic, I decide I didn’t want to let that time go to waste and that it was time to drop some serious weight. Started at 297.6, I fought hard for 11 months cutting and counting calories and dropped 78 pounds down to 220.
Then I encountered a series of setbacks in my life outside the weight loss, causing me to gain all that weight back, plus a few extra pounds.
I started this year above 300 and the highest I weighed myself was 306.6. I decided that I’m tired of the excuses, and tired of letting food be the sole source of my comfort and joy in life. I can still enjoy it, but it’s not the reason I’m alive.
I’ve been hitting it hard for about 5-6 weeks now, counting calories and weighing myself daily, and I’m back down 16 pounds. It’s gonna be a long war with these habits of mine, but at least I’m trying again.
A lot of the time between losing the weight and having gained it all back was spent frustrated about how I threw all that hard work away, and thus should just give up, but I won’t let thoughts like that determine my outcome.
If you’re in a similar situation to me several weeks ago, don’t let your doubts about yourself control you. You’re in the driver’s seat and you can do it! Myself and so many others here want to help. All I would say is get started today, and don’t let any more time pass where it’s just a nice idea. It can start being your reality today if you let it.
All the best, and you can do this!!
