  • Considering you mention affairs and divorce I’m going to presume you have a relationship you are not happy with.

    I can absolutely relate to being exhausted after work. But it’s the job you do more than the hours. I’ve had energy after a 50hr week, yet felt absolutely drained in other jobs with just 30hrs.

    Catch 22 then, because you can’t improve your relationship if you are reduced to a zombie, and your relationship is supposed to help ground you against the drains of daily life.

    The ideal answer would be to talk things with a professional therapist. Not sure if you are in a position to do that. Second best is, talk things calmly with your partner and see if it is possible to cut down hours of work, perhaps move somewhere more affordable, change your job, in order for you both to have more time enjoy yourselves and your family. It sounds like you can do without, but it is important.



  • I can’t do that with my thumb. Mine goes straight even if I press to force to bend it backwards. It’s the only finger joint that doesn’t overextend, all my other fingers curve backwards nicely and even more so if I apply pressure.

    Bending the thumb forwards (opposite as in your photo) is a different story. The joint can bend past the 90⁰, easily 80⁰ or more if I press it against something.





  • I used to live in a house hopelessly infested. My family is clean. We nuked, to no avail. Even if you don’t leave food behind, the fuckers will find things to eat. Examples of things the roaches ate in that house:

    • my favorite boot soles (leather)
    • cold porcelain souvenirs
    • wax used to lubricate drawers
    • rotting wood from the actual wall panels
    • debris stuck in brushes (hair and tooth brushes)
    • paper

    You can’t win. They probably have plenty of food in the form of decomposing organic matter inside the walls. For example dead animals, mold, rotting wood or else. I’ve had some success sealing with OCD levels of precision every single possible gap in the floor, wardrobes, walls, you name it. But there is always this or that thing you can’t seal such as power point sockets or else.
