I’m on day 4 of my covid adventure. Vaxxed and boosted, didn’t get too sick, but then again, I wouldn’t want to be much sicker than this.

Pretty clear to me tonight that enjoying>understanding.

Had a pretty intense time just leaving the house for the first time since Mon to walk to the mailbox. Let your foot kiss the earth. Let each step be like the emperor’s seal upon the earth. Thich Nhat Hanh.

I don’t know an economic downturn starts developing and push comes to shove I guess we will see like you said.[/quote]

I think everyone self included expects a crash won’t be allowed to happen and are placing bets accordingly.

When everyone agrees on something though or it seems self evident it’s generally exactly wrong

Pretty sure the govt will just redefine the basket of goods to calculate inflation to only include cellphones and day old pastries.

Was shopping for a fancy faucet at Pacific sales. Everything was pretty much 500 to 1000 with a few outliers including a really bitching faucet for 6k. the whole experience left me feeling very poor. On the other hand, the 6000 faucet made the 500 faucet seem like a steal.

It’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future.

Old people are getting dumber

No they aren’t. Young people are adapting to change (required to thrive) faster. I’m still in the thick of it career wise and the pace of change is exhausting to me! I can’t imagine slinging code at a competitive level in 20 more years.

Everyone needs therapy, we’re all fucked up.

Climate change is real. What was the Disney movie where House said, “the reason you deny it is that it’s the only course of action that requires you to do nothing.”

I’d double check every form he fills out for you but Urban realtor is a good guy as a property manager.

Ok. I agree. Maybe old people are getting slower. Or wiser.

Personally I’ve been seeing a 4 perc annual gain in wisdom. At this rate, under current actuarial calculations, I should be enlightened right before dying, and I’m reasonably confident I have enough wisdom to last my lifespan through. Could run short though.

Marriage counseling while things are pretty good is better than counseling when everything’s shitty. It’s actually a pretty fascinating thing to do. Still lots of stigma.

Has anyone watched COUPLES THERAPY on showtime?

I’m intrigued that you believe your daughter will manage the property well but your wife does not. I advise some prophylactic marriage counseling for all the issues going on. It’s best to go when things are good. Don’t wait for a crisis!

I’m going to be contrarian and say sell. You want to be a busboy, damnit! Follow your dream! Why live in point Loma! You can bus anywhere. Perhaps read DISHWASHER! the autobiography of a guy whose dream was to wash dishes in all 50 states. What an awesome tale he tells!

You’re sick of your job and I think SD has lost its charm for you. Frankly, point Loma is kinda dull. Take the money and bus dishes with a 2 million dollar cushion. And a working wife! Sounds good to me too! Maybe get high with the other waitstaff out back near the dumpster? Never worry about work. Get a pet ferret. Take up juggling. Free your mind of stupid bullshit.

However, I personally am staying in my house and in my job, sober, filled with normal stupid bullshit, away from dumpsters, but in marriage therapy. I think my wife would pay for me if quit my job…but maybe not…

[scaredyclassic]

I think I need a sauna. Definitely would add that if I were building new.

[scaredyclassic]

I think I’m not really depressed. I think I’m just so anxious for so long that I get exhausted and collapse into what looks like depression.

Pretty clear to me now that I drank every day to patch over this and engaged in excessive exercise to try to balance the brain.

Marriage therapy is pretty intense. The dynamic changes with someone watching u go through your paces.

I want more therapy! Maybe daily…

The Buddhists are also helping me.

[quote=svelte][quote=scaredyclassic]For 2022, spring for real therapy.

I’m seeing 2 therapists…actually helping me. (Marriage and solo). Should’ve done this years ago.[/quote]

Good for you. I’ve gotten in mental quagmires from time to time and worked them out on my own. Probably not a good thing…I’ve had friends who sought help and that is probably the better course.

I’ve been reading a lot about the traits of highly intelligent people. One of them is that they tend to overanalyze things and that leads to mental traps. Let an impartial third party help you avoid those.

Addendum: Vitamin B3. Since I’ve started taking that, I think it has helped me avoid mental traps. We’ve had several very serious situations happen lately that would ordinarily sent me into a tailspin and that hasn’t happened. I think that is because of the B3. Look into it. You owe it to yourself.[/quote]

I take a lot of pills. I’ll throw b3 in there, see what happens.

I believe in garlic and curcumin…for the body. But my mind…it’s…fucked up…

I’m on the fence about Zoloft tho. Very resistant to meds. Perhaps I want to hold on to my anxiety…

[scaredyclassic]

I’ve seen some middle aged lawyers just kind of implode from mental issues.

I actually feel more able to keep working. I was in a bit of an emotional tailspin.

Thanks for sharing. I think I should take this up too:

Once I realized that I was at risk of bombarding my work colleagues with “my thoughts and feelings” and it would waste their time and mine.

Therapy may be more efficient as it keeps the day focused,[/quote]

I’m surprised at how much insight I gain thru what seems like a pretty obvious process.

Pay stubs can be mysterious. So many codes. Even HR can’t figure it out.

[quote=svelte][quote=scaredyclassic]Hiking in red rock area is not just very good it is outstanding. Spectacular even. Expensive to enter, very worth it.[/quote]

It costs now? Guess I haven’t been there in a while! There is also a nice ranch on the trip out there where you can wander amongst the burrows. At least there used to be.[/quote]

$17 park entrance fee. Reservations required. Packed.

Also went to neon museum.

Found .69 chip voucher. Put it in slit machine. Lost. That was all the gambling we did …
