This is mostly coming from a standard scoring perspective (but perhaps even HPPR too) but I feel that I either have to "reach" for Hopkins and Jones or "settle" with D Johnson or Bell. And then I dont draft again until 19-21, and at that point I can snag a mid tier WR1, but.. it's not the same.
Anyone else feel helpless in these positions?
Serious question, as I just woke up from a Sunday afternoon nap. For a moment, I am a Thomas and Adams fan, Kirk is doing great, and I donβt know how to feel.
I've read a lot of these posts and I usually wonder why they didn't edit them. Now, I see why. We want to squeeze in all the elements we consider important. Thank you for being patient in reading mine. I'm in a rut and very much would appreciate constructive advice.
My girlfriend is in her late 20's and I am in my mid-thirties. I live in the United States; she's in Canada. We see each other for about a week once a month. There are a significant amount of clear signs that we have a maturity difference between us, as well as several examples of character differences. We enjoy many of the same things (exercise, outdoors, reading, music), but the ability for her to vocally communicate is incredibly strained. I connect to someone romantically, energetically, and intellectually through vocal expression and she is intensely introverted to the point to where we will have multiple minutes of quiet if I don't fill the silence during conversations. When we hang out, it's a lot of physical affection, sharing activities/adventures that I set up, and enjoying something external together. We both enjoy quality time and physical touch, but my primary Love Language is through verbal communication. I'm extroverted and definitely connect with people through talking about ideas and being silly. When we talk, there is virtually nothing that she offers that stimulates me. There are no stories that interest me, no fascinating insights into life, no fun-facts, no excitement to share something she read or experienced, no jokes that I laugh at, and no silliness. I make it important to share things throughout my day like memes, funny videos, and saying jokes. I've tried to help her vocalize and get creative and unfortunately her responses to my conversation questions are always predictable ("I dunno"), never funny or playful, and they are just the facts. I've talked with her about my concerns, but despite her attempts to talk more, the vocal chemistry just isn't there at all. Growing up as the youngest in her family, she never had encouragement to share her personality and was always shushed and disregarded. As a result of that, I believe she never learned how to communicate in a way that she was comfortable with and never learned how to come out of her shell or explore herself or learn to let go socially. We've been together for a little over a year and my hopes of her expanding her ability to vocalize internal thoughts just isn't there. I have come to the conclusion that she eith

Something that has really helped me was designating what I call βMakeup Purgatory.β That can be a drawer at your parentβs/partnerβs place, your travel makeup bag, etc - Just find someplace separate from your main makeup area that you can transition potential declutters that youβre feeling unsure about. I like choosing a place where I do my makeup as well because it forces me to use those products I couldnβt part with just yet and see if I find myself wishing I had my main makeup instead or if I fall in love with it again.
Doing this proved to me that 9 times out of 10 when I went back to pass judgement on my Makeup Purgatory, I never once thought about using those products when I had the option to use others. Creating a median area before having to make a permanent decision on the fate of my makeup really helps me make the first steps in the decluttering process!
TL;DR: 1) Find an alternate place that you do your makeup. 2) Send uncertain declutters to Purgatory. 3) Periodically go back and pass judgement >:)
J: I keep trying to make jokes up here, but everyone's so stiff! When there's no pain, nothing's funny! The closest I got was giving Lincoln a knock-knock joke, and all that got was a smile-and-exhale!
E: You got smile-and-exhaled by Lincoln? Jeez, maybe you weren't funny to begin with.
J: gives look
E: Point taken. Too bad jokes aren't enough to get kicked out of this joint. I bragged about killing babies for 20 minutes and nobody batted an eye! The dog in All Dogs Go To Heaven got to leave. Why can a dog leave Heaven and not me?
Heavenly Phone rings
J: Hello?
G: Jerry, Jerry! I'm stuck in Hell and they're torturing me and I can't take another 300 hours of Hitler stabbing me! You gotta put in a good word for me with the Big Man or I am done for!
J: ...Who is this?
G: JERRY!
J: Sorry, got another call.
G: JERβ
K: Hey, Jerry! I just wanted to give you an update from Purgatory.
J: You're in Purgatory?
K: No pun intended but Hell Yeah! Man, they got me on this whole "ridding the sins from my body" routine, but the way I see it, I was perfect on Earth, so I should be perfect here!
J: So you're not actually improving? Kramer, you'll never make it to Heaven at this rate!
K: Heaven's overrated! Purgatory's where it's at. No high expectations and no torture! Perfectly medium.
J: ...Do they have any openings?
I remember, which is why it was so odd Michael could just literally snap a portal open. Sure, Michael is powerful, but he's not "can reap God" powerful.
So, like many others here, I was supposed to take my test on March 19 and felt relatively ready to take on the challenge until I got the notification 48 hours before that the test wouldn't happen. Moved it to April 16 (the day its supposedly opening) and now I'm pretty sure that ain't happening so I moved it to May 7.
To all those people in similar boats as I'm in, what're you guys doing now? I'm just slowly starting to get my focus back and now idk how to use this time. Right now I'm barely getting through one block a day as I'm switching off between doing my 2nd pass of UWorld/starting Amboss blocks but I'm not sure what else I could do. I'm also completely over studying hence the only one block a day.. is that even enough to do per day? I'm used to the 10+ hours of studying per day and now I can barely get through 2-3 hours lol.
So why didn't the Leviathan take the back door to hell in season 8 or before? Take over hell via the hole then find a door to earth and take over?
Meaning that they aren't awful, but they're not good enough to be serious contenders/make the playoffs. Essentially an 8-8 or 7-9 team?
He says you add up your mortal sins and multiply by 50, then you add up your venial sins and multiply by 25. Add those two numbers together and that's how much time you'll spend in purgatory.
For a minute let's neglect the fact that there is no mathematical equation in actual Catholicism. Let's take Paulie's equation as the truth. He's doing way more than 6,000 years, and that evidence lies in the conversation with his priest toward the end of the episode.
After Chrissy's vision and the incident with the psychic, Paulie is furious with his priest. He says that due to the large sums of money he's given over the years he should have been protected, and says he isn't donating another dime.
For those who weren't raised Catholic, this is Simony. Simony comes up in Acts of the Apostles when a man named Simon tries to buy powers from two Apostles. It's heavily condemned in the church and would be considered a mortal sin. So Paulie's looking at a lot more time than he thinks, since he seems to be oblivious to this.
I think having Paulie go through his crisis in this episode is especially brilliant considering the conversation Tony has with Carmela, about her only using the shield of Catholicism when convenient after she prays for Chrissy's recovery. While that's certainly true, Paulie was literally trying to buy a protective shield from a priest. I just thought it was neat to show the two extremes of people who only use their faith when convenient or when it can help them.
That's a lovely phrase I get told when I show disinterest in going to mass, "do it for [insert name of deceased love one here]."
That raises soooo many questions, like how do you know I'm helping specifically that person, how do you know they're in purgatory, why am I suddenly responsible for someone ELSE'S eternal fate, is there ever going to be a point where they actually get to Heaven or am I gonna have to keep hearing this same "motivator" forever
Like theres no bother giving apologetics or anything, it's just raw illogical magic that I need to believe in or else
I was born in 1980, for the first 15 years of my life my family lived in Virginia Beach. My mother taught me to swim at a very young age, and we would routinely go to the beach in the warm months. We went almost every day. My mom would lay out and tan, and I would body surf for hours. Her 2 main rules were to stay where she could see me and never go deeper than chest deep in the water. As anyone that has been in the ocean knows though, tides change, the ocean is unpredictable, and you have to be very aware of your surroundings when swimming.
By the summer of my 10th birthday, I was a very experienced and strong swimmer. I never grew tired of going out to body surf, and my mother ended up having to get a job so she couldn't come with me during the week. My next door neighbor often babysat me during the day.
One day about late afternoon my neighbor took her son and I down to the beach to swim, and we went right into the water. The first thing I noticed was it was getting to be high tide, and the surf was a bit rougher than usual. But being a kid I shrugged it off due to the overconfidence of youth. I was swimming out towards the breaks then swimming with the waves and would go with the wave as they would crest, riding them into the shore. The last wave I took that day was a MONSTER wave, and peaked at least 3 feet higher than I expected. I attempted to swim faster to catch the top before it crested, but I failed miserably! The wave and white water grabbed me and slammed me HARD right into the ocean floor. That beast ragdolled me! The last thing I remember was pure panic as I rolled violently across the ocean floor getting battered by small rocks, and sliced up on shells. I have no idea how long I was under but I went unconscious.
Next thing I know I'm just calmly floating in a black abyss. It was blacker than black and I could not register any physical feeling. I tried to put my hands in front of my face, but there were no hands. There was nothing to move, I was not in my body. I was just consciousness. I just existed in this horribly vast nothingness that seemed like it was everything, and nothing all at the same time. It seemed like I was there for an eternity, but I really didn't have a concept of time. Or at least a way to keep track of it. I was overwhelmed with sheer terror, crippling anxiety, loneliness like I never felt before or since, and the deepest sadness that was so much more than sadness. I still don't have the proper words to express i
