Lots of water in general is good when you have a cold. I’m left with a lingering sore throat. It’s really annoying how I used to heal up so fast in general now it takes like a week
I drank too much water at church, to not have a sore throat. Turns out the water leaves the body very slowly, so I was up at 3 AM because of that.
Salt water, however, is just absurdly helpful. Doctor insisted to do it in beaches, which he does every day, but I just put some salt in regular water.
You have more potential than you can imagine
I put pink salt in my water for when I wake up. It's so good.
The only disability is a bad attitude.You have more potential than you can imagine
Thank you for posting that.
I've been unemployed for 5 1/2 months, applying frequently, getting only about 6 interviews during these months despite my resume being good... but I got a job offer for labor/installation job now! During this time of unemployment there have been two times where an anonymous envelope was in a crack of the outside of my car with cash that gave me the ability to cook food and get gas. A friend from my parish has bought me a gym membership and said he'll keep on paying for it, so it's motivated me to spend more time there

Comment section shows that women are becoming aware of the negative effects of birth control and getting off of it.
I bowled a 128 today! My own personal record. Extremely happy about it.
Edit: Just for some reference, I've been bowling regularly with senior citizen women for the last few months... and I finally got the top score lol (for the one game anyway /cry)

I got a small salary increase (to $120k). My company treats me well and the coworkers are great.
Not long ago I was not making much money and most of my savings were wasted surviving the pandemic (months without working).
Now I feel financially secure. Making good money and not spending much. Trying to find hobbies.

The Vibe Shift:
It’s hard to say exactly how long it’s taken for the eponymous vibe to shift, but everyone knows it’s happening. For at least the last six months, not a day has gone by when I haven’t seen something, heard a statement, read a post, or had a conversation with someone that doesn’t leave me completely shocked—in a good way.
“This would not have happened a year ago. Vibe shift.”
The Vibe Shift I’m talking about is the speaking of previously unspeakable truths, the noticing of previously suppressed facts. I’m talking about the give you feel when the walls of Propaganda and Bureaucracy start to move as you push; the very visible dust kicked up in the air as Experts and Fact Checkers scramble to hold on to decaying institutions; the cautious but electric rush of energy when dictatorial edifices designed to stifle innovation, enterprise, and thought are exposed or toppled.

Speaking of vibe shift, I wonder if this is indicative of an increasingly vocal Gentile nouveau riche. This clip is deliciously ironic for a number of reasons: first, PBD and the immense social and cultural capital he has accumulated in the past decade couldn't have happened without Hart–Cellar; second, he has a very Semitic surname (from an Assyrian Christian father).
I keep a gratitude journal where I write down one thing every day i for which I am grateful. This has been a blessing in itself:
Even though I write it down in the evening, this practice has made me more aware of blessings throughout the day. For instance I could write about having a comfortable home or I could write about the feel of the warm sun on my face as a cool breeze passes by, or, having a loving family, or just pausing to listen to the musical songbird out my window.
This habit encourages me to reflect back on the day to find something positive and happy, even when I don't feel it.
It's so easy to forget our blessings while we're having a bad day or major crises. This journal of memories of good things, good times, will be a comfort.
