I would go along with it and hang out and don’t expect anything more. At worst, you have a fun new friend whom you like to hang out with --that’s a win! Since she has no problems making the first move, if she wants this to be more, she’ll let you know. Just have fun with your new friend!
Applause to you for this.
Next level shirts are almost perfect
I wear tall sizes which makes finding shirts a pain. Old Navy has tall sizes and their t shirts are on sale for $6 a few times a year. And they’re very soft and comfortable! I buy like 5 every couple of years.
In the US, most of the food is made in the same factories because they’re regional, then the name brands might get to pick the freshest batch, but often it’s the exact same stuff just in different boxes.
We eat generic all the time, but I will say that frosted flakes and honey nut Cheerios do taste a bit better with the name brand. Luckily, they’re really cheap a couple times a year and I’ll buy a couple boxes then that last me pretty much until they’re on mega sale again
Also: if it’s very swollen, that pressure stabilizes the injury and so it won’t hurt as much because things can’t move around. This is not a good sign.
Did the same thing years ago. It was huge and black and blue. X-rays showed that I only strained it (no actual tears or tissue damage), but I could almost walk on it. It hurt, but I have a different tolerance for pain. I got a neoprene ankle brace with a splint in it and wore that for about 2 months afterwards. It was about 4 months before I was running again.
Now, having said all that, go see a doctor. You may have damaged it differently. There are a lot of bones and tendons in your foot and they all need to work properly for you to walk, so get it checked out. You might be out a few hundred dollars, but if you can’t walk in 40 years, you’ll probably wish you’d done it. Even if it’s bad, there’s a good chance you’ll be just wearing the same neoprene brace this summer.
You could look into being a driver for Cisco: they supply a huge number of restaurants. Might give you connections that you could parlay into working for a different food distributor as either a driver or salesman. I also knew a guy who power washed businesses, like the exteriors. Just showed up and washed the outside walls. I had no idea this was a thing. I think he had to do it overnight though, so might be potentially dangerous in certain areas.
I so hope someone in Hollywood is working on this
I have lots because Colorado falls are roller coasters with temp.
On “warm” 50⁰ days, I’m usually do a base layer of a Nike pro lycra shirt and shorts, then typical jersey and shorts with arm and knee warmers.
On cooler days, same bases, but with a warmer jersey and maybe fleece knickers or tights. The fleece cycling gear is always smaller than the summer gear and stretches less as well, so I find it very uncomfortable. Maybe lycra booties, ear warmer and comfy gloves (love the head gloves from Costco).
If I’m crazy and it’s under 20⁰, then a very warm capo jacket over a long sleeve base layer and 2 layers of tights sandwiching my shorts (or a unique pair of pearl izumi wind proof tights), warm pearl gloves, warm hat and neoprene booties. If I’m lucky, I’ll last an hour.
I can’t remember the band or the song, but I remember the VH1 pop-up version where they told you tidbits during the video. The whole thing was 1 take (shot on film in those days) and included a part where they passed the camera through a car. The camera operator had to hand the camera off to someone, run around to the other side of the car and then take it back without it looking like that happened, and while everyone was singing in time. I was a film student at the time and in awe about how well it was done. So much so that I can still see that part, but I cannot remember the song.
I was thinking of working on a PhD, but enough people with a PhD have told me not to that I’ve decided maybe I should listen to the smart people and not do it. Best wishes to you, you tortured soul!
My in-laws told my wife that it was just the “music truck”. She had no idea it sold ice cream until she was in high school.
When I realized I could say “I’ve been doing this for 20 years”.
Had a Honda that we sold after 16 or 17 years. It was not without problems, but it was cheap to fix and ran very well for it’s age. Have a Chevy Tahoe now (but any full size truck is comparable) that is going on the same record. Haven’t had to do anything outside of regular maintenance, runs great.
Here’s the thing: don’t buy a really cheap car because those probably have problems and it will always be one thing after another. A big truck will run forever (I see dozens of 30+ year old trucks on the road) if you take care of it, but they’re sometimes expensive to fix and usually impractical if you don’t already need a truck. Any car you really take care of – and that means doing all the maintenance on time or early, sometimes whether it needs it or not – should last a long time. My Tahoe I take care of meticulously because it was very expensive, and that has paid off with stress-free ownership. Had a Jeep that was a pain in the ass every other month.
You can Google for a list of the cars that will go past 200k. Most of them are Hondas and Toyotas, but some American cars are on the list too. If you can find someone who works for a car rental agency, they’ll tell you the cars that are always getting repaired and the ones that never do.
In your field, it might. But honestly, what makes the biggest difference is who you know and how well you fit in where you work.
I majored in film with a minor in photo, perfect track to be a cinematographer. Found out I didn’t really like that industry, just loved making pretty images. I learned a lot of other skills but the most valuable one was how to relate to people and understand what they’re saying when they’re not actually saying what they want. I’ve since switched careers to something totally different, but I use so many things I learned in college unrelated to focusing cameras. You have learned a lot that’s going to help you for the rest of your life. You might not know it for a long time, but you’ll eventually find your way.
Some of it might be age. I didn’t realize until recently what I wanted. Got a new co worker who’s only a couple years older than me (I’m 46) and after a few days of working with her, I told her she’s ruining my other friendships because I’ve realized how boring many of my friends are. She’s just very easy to talk to and we can cover tons of subjects. We always have something to talk about.
I don’t think you can expect someone in their 20s to really know enough about enough things to really be euradite about much. They also don’t have as much experience talking with people to be remarkably eloquent. That’s not to say that everyone younger than me isn’t worth talking to, but maybe you’re scouting in the farm league and don’t know it. Keep talking to everyone though: one day you’ll find someone you hope never stops talking to you.
I think the app can make a different, but not always. I used to have like 5 different camera apps because each did something a little different. Ultimately, it’s you and the phone that matter. Some phones will take shitty photos no matter what you do. Some people take shitty photos no matter what they do. The more you know how your gear works and where it falls short and where it excels, the better your photos will be. And do some post processing: never accept something without giving it some polish.
I went back to school. You can find tons of online courses in just about any subject, and some will count for real college credit if you ever want to turn it into a degree. Many are free, but some will cost you and most are worth it. A way to make your addiction productive.
