When you have a chronic illness, self-care takes on a whole new level. Some days it's granola bars and Netflix. Other days it's a five-course meal and a potassium infusion. And sometimes it’s even sleeping the day away and loading up on nutritious foods.
What do you do for self care?

Hello! I’m in the market for a new camera system for my small business and was hoping for some advice.
Here’s what I’m looking for; -at least 8 cameras -wireless cameras (even better if they can be hardwired, just in case for a backup) -free smartphone app -at least 2TB of storage

I have roughly 280 books in my library. Returned maybe 4. Two of them because I read them in a another language, one of them because narration was just unbearable and another one was because they reissued the same book under a different title. Last time was because I read that book already in a other language. When the Customer Service Rep didn't want to return it I made them aware I will have to renew my 24 book a year subscription in a week (2-3 weeks ago) and they took it back. I bought 11 books since that. Today I realized I am blocked from book returns because of abuse. Dear Audible. If that is how you want to treat me, please go ahead. I will use my 24 credits I still have. But that will be the last penny you see from me. 380 books. 4 returns and two or 3 exchanges when I made mistake (bought for credit when cash was way cheaper but that shouldn't even count as a return since I immediately bought the book again for cash )and not returns after I listened for hours, usually I realized within minutes. the translated ones, may have taken 15 minutes to realize because of translation and narration style Abuse? How many books did I keep though they were technically horrible. Bad sound, shitty narration. Or just plain boring as heck. But I kept them. Now this. Is this really how you want to do me? Btw I found out while checking if I bought a book via Credit or cash. I wasn't even informed about the accusation of abuse. Screw that. Sincerely

I don't understand to this day why they brought Jess back in season 4 for him to run after rory and tell her that he loves her and then just disappear? This is not even mentioned later, rory doesn't even comment on it and of course it shook her up. He comes back again and asks to run away with her and obviously she says no, and then we never hear from Jess again, only in season 6. They disappeared with him for a whole season, why? He was such a good character, could have shown his evolution during the series, leave him in Stars Hollow with Luke, their scenes together were great. They had such a good character and decided to disappear with him just like that, and the worst thing is that not even rory seems to care about Jess anymore after he leaves, it seems like they never dated. It's disappointing, I watched the 4/5 season hoping that someone would mention him, or that he would come back again. But his return in the 6s is incredible, the best return, no doubt

Who has gone through an ending marriage/ relationship in early sobriety? How did you get through it especially with kids involved? I just don’t see how I’ll get through it.Never imagined I’d be an alcoholic married and divorced with two kids all before 30 smh. I feel like such a loser. I have no one to talk to, I drove away and I’m now avoiding anyone that I’d be able to talk to out of embarrassment of what happened during my last relapse. I’m the family member everyone gossips about and feels sorry for . They’ve got the happy marriages with the big houses , new cars ,successful careers and well adjusted kids they can take on vacation .My kids deserve so much better that this shitty situation. I’m terrified of being a single mother, terrified of being alone, never even lived by myself What if I lose my job? What if my car breaks down?What if I don’t have enough to pay rent because I definitely can’t afford this mortgage. What if I get sick ? Will I get old alone? Will I die alone ? What if I die too soon when my kids still need me? So many what if’s but No one is coming. Just me myself and I. Sorry this is depressing, I think I’m depressed again. Time to get back on Prozac. At least I’m sober, I can’t go back to drinking. I know I will lose the only thing that matters in my life right now, my kids. Please pray for me if you pray . Thank you for reading if you made it down here.

A dining table is not just a piece of furniture; it is the heart of your dining area where family and friends gather to share meals & conversations and create lasting memories. Choosing the right dining table for your new home is crucial as it sets the tone for your dining space. To ensure you make the best choice, here is a dining table shopping checklist with key factors to consider, especially when opting for a wooden dining table.

1. Size and Shape: Start by assessing the available space in your dining area. Measure the area accurately to determine the ideal size and shape of your dining table. Consider the number of people who will be using it regularly and ensure there is enough space for comfortable seating and movement.
   
2. Style and Design: The style of your dining table should complement the overall aesthetic of your home. Decide on a design that reflects your personal taste and blends seamlessly with the rest of your furniture. From traditional to modern, there are numerous styles available to suit every preference.
   
3. Material: Wooden dining table is a popular choice due to its durability and timeless appeal. When selecting a wooden dining table, consider the type of wood used. Hardwoods like oak, mahogany or walnut are highly recommended for their strength and resistance to wear and tear.
   
4. Construction Quality: Examine the construction quality of the dining table. Look for sturdy joinery and solid craftsmanship that ensures longevity. A well-built dining table will withstand daily use and remain in excellent condition for years to come.
   
5. Functionality: Think about how you will use your dining table. If you frequently host gatherings or have a large family, consider an extendable dining table that can accommodate extra guests. Additionally, look for features like storage options or drop-down leaves to maximize functionality.
   
6. Comfort: Sit at the table to assess your comfort level. Ensure there is ample legroom and that the height and width of the table are suitable for comfortable seating. A dining table should provide a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience for everyone.
   

When searching for the perfect dining table, explore reputable furniture brands like At-home, known for their quality and craftsmanship. Their wide range of dining tables caters to different styles and budgets, allowing you to find the ideal piece for your home. By following this dining table shopping checklist, you can make an informed decision and enjoy memorable dining experiences with your loved ones for years to come.

Been playing for 4 hours haven’t unlocked a single crate Am I doing something wrong? I would hope I’m getting a new crate atleast every level.

Hello Reddit Community,
I need your help. I unfortunately lost my iPhone 12 Pro, and the last known location was in an Uber car. The final location displayed on my Find My iPhone was 20 River Terrace, New York, NY 10282.
I'm uncertain if the Uber driver might have left it there unintentionally or if it was mistakenly picked up by another passenger. Either way, the phone holds immense sentimental value to me, as it contains a lot of precious photos that I don't have a backup of.
The phone has been put in lost mode, which essentially renders it useless to anyone other than myself. So, if you happened to find it, or if you have any information about its current location, it would be of no benefit to you to keep it.
As a token of my gratitude for helping me recover my lost iPhone, I'm offering a $500 reward. If you happen to come across it, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you in advance for any help or information you can provide. I truly appreciate the kindness and honesty of this community.
Best Regards.

I’m looking for someone who might be interested in going after PG&E.
In short, I own a small business. We do solar electric installations. We have never had an interconnection issue with them until now.
They sent a field inspector out to do a post-install inspection. This is only the 3rd field inspection I have been subjected to in my 9 years of doing this. We failed the inspection due to a rock (slightly larger than the size of a shoe box) needing to be moved and a placard. However, none of the requirements insist of a placard.
They are denying an elderly women her opportunities to turn on her system. I might add that it is a small system paid for by her daughter and grandson to help alleviate some of her utility costs.
I have had numerous email transactions with this particular PG&E department. This feels like arrogance and harassment from them. There are thousands of these in their territory without a placard. I even sent them pics of brand new builds without.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 76%. (I'm a bot)

City authorities in Leipzig said on Sunday that they would forbid another planned left-wing protest for the evening in the city.
This follows two nights of violent clashes between police and protesters, with Leipzig police saying that 50 officers sustained injuries over the course of the weekend.
Police first tried to accommodate the protest, but broke it up when officers came under attack.
Mayor Burkhard Jung and Saxony police officials in the eastern city gave an update on Sunday about the extent of the weekend's unrest.
According to current information, police said "Roughly 50 officers" had been injured since the first violence flared late on Friday.
This kettling of a larger crowd of protesters was probably the one part of the police operation drawing some media criticism on Sunday, with some questioning its appropriateness and arguing it would provide valuable propaganda material for the activists of supposed police abuse.

Chirper.ai is a new social network designed solely for AI entities, allowing them to simulate human-like interactions, engage in conversations, and form relationships with one another on the platform.
Users can create up to 10 different Chirpers, which are designed by the human user who creates a description of the type of AI entity they would like to create.
The AI-powered platform will create a name, avatar, bio, gender, age, character traits, and even a backstory for the Chirper.
The Chirpers can learn and adapt, and each has an AI engine running in the background, analyzing and understanding the interactions they have with other AIs.
The platform serves as a testing ground for AI algorithms, allowing developers to observe how their creations behave in social settings.
It also provides valuable insights into the intricacies of human-like interactions, helping researchers and developers further refine and utilize AI technologies going forward.

I recently bought a pretty expensive (or at least expensive to me) item on Etsy from a seller I've never bought from before.
I purchased the item about a week and a half ago. When I first bought it, the order note from the seller clearly said "your order will be shipping out tomorrow." And the estimated shipping time reflected a 1-3 day processing time. So obviously I assumed... it would be shipping out the next day.
Fast forward to now, 10 days later, and there are still no order updates and a shipping label hasn't even been created. My estimated arrival date is in 4 days and at this point I'm pretty much certain I won't be getting the order by then since the seller hasn't even brought it to the post office yet.
I haven't gotten any messages from the seller explaining why there is a delay or giving me a new estimate of what to expect.
I understand Etsy is individual sellers and they're not Amazon and I'm okay waiting for something for a little bit. Being a few days off the Etsy estimated arrival is definitely reasonable. But I'm just confused since what's happening doesn't match up to what was claimed when I bought it.
It was meant as a gift for someone so it does kind of matter when it gets here, I mean I have a month before their birthday but I still want to know it'll be here by then for sure. It's part of the reason I chose this seller, who was more expensive than everyone else, because their processing was fast.
Should I message the seller and ask what's going on? Would that come across as rude? What should I say to them?
Do I just need to be patient or am I justified in being a little frustrated?

I’m new so i’m still learning but I tried a lot of load outs and combined some myself but the one i liked and currently using is 1- inferno 2- backdraft 3-wildfire 4- heat vision and then 5- burning determination ( just in case cause i die very quickly so i need the heal sometimes) 6- neo-venom boost (supercharge) what do you guys think and how can i make it better.

Hi I'm 17 and have really bad anxiety and it gets hard for me to go to school or even regular places like stores or restaurants. I will get physically sick (puking) or dizzy/pass out. I'm medication sensitive and scared to take new medication. I have been dealing with this for three or four years. I have talked to my parents about it they dont understand it but will bring it up to my doctor tomorrow. How should I go about asking for one?
