I bought a new used high end plasma TV today and just finished calibrating it. Now I'm going to prepare a cup of tea and watch a movie.

What do you have going on?

my dog got sprayed by a skunk tonight. so yeah... dog shower and stupid stuff.

Sounds awful. What are you using to rid him of the smell?

[–] [deleted] • 0 pt

First, tomato sauce (the combination really freakin stinks but covers it), then baking soda, then vinegar then regular dish soap. Rinse between each. it's nasty but kills the smell, plus the dog rolls in the yard and stays out of the house for a day because he's pissed...

I bet he thinks he's fine smelling like a skunk. That's pretty funny and yet a horrible thing to deal with. Maybe you got the worst of the year out of the way :)

Start trapping skunks. They love cat food.

Don't say poision them. Everyone will chimp out.

[–] [deleted] • 0 pt

hell no. i don't want to attract them!

[–] • 0 pt

Theyre there anyway. Youd just be attracting them to a place they can be easily duspatched without your dog getting squirted

My dog killed a skunk the last time she got sprayed... Pretty legit move. She got the ham bone for that move.

I'm making yogurt for the first time. I'll know if it's any good in nine hours. After I read a bit I'll have a cup of chamomile tea and knit a bit while listening to NYSTV before bed.

What movie?

I fucked your mother earlier OP

I was pounding mom's ass but the fireworks were interupting my rythimic thrusts. It kind of bothered me to hear him whining from the basement about pizza snacks or something,

It's unfortunate that your mother realized she gave birth when she took that huge shit, otherwise you might have been flushed down where you belong.

Eating sugar cookies with milk and wondering if I will make a resolution this year...so far drawing a blank..

[–] • 1 pt

Here's a simple resolution for you. Commit to going on a 15 minute walk every single day no matter what. Seems small but it will have huge positive implications on your life.

[–] • 0 pt

A 15 minute walk is nothing. Really. Its a simple human function.

So are you saying you exercise every single day? I'm not talking about doing physical work I'm saying and actual dedicated exercise, do you work out?

Whats involved with calibrating a plasma TV?

Tonight I'm really just dwelling on the many mistakes I made and hardships I faced in this last year. Trying not to blame myself too much but also trying to commit to improvement

Feeling like a fucking loser if I'm being totally honest

[–] • 1 pt

Don't beat yourself too hard. I lost everything last year too. Just find projects to keep yourself busy. That's what I've been doing and it helps.

I want you to do this mental exercise. Even if you can only do it for 15 minutes.

Pretend that you legitimately like yourself and accept yourself exactly the way you are. Pretend that you have moved on from your past mistakes and despite them still like the reflection you see when you look in the mirror.

Really try this, keep your mind focused on the exercise and if you drift bring it back. Commit to trying this for 15 minutes, set a timer.

I'm going to show you something

Well tbh, I have a pretty high self esteem. But this year has really tested me and I've faltered a lot. I think I've destroyed a beautiful relationship and really hurt a woman I care deeply for

More so than needing to feel love for myself, I'm just sad that I was weak. I've pushed myself 110% this year. Meanwhile person after person I sought support from ended up not being their for me

My professional goals were completely ruptured from the networking restrictions with covid. And my mental health has never been lower

BTW you never explained plasma calibration

This will take you into the world of TV calibration https://youtu.be/LfmtSNyt6V4

Just remember life is ups and downs. There will be good years and bad years alike. It is and always will be that way for everybody on this planet, you are not alone.

Whenever I am personally going through something like you've described I try to keep something very important in mind: often times in life when you think you are going through something terrible in reality something great is happening. It just may take you time to realize this.

I've lost jobs. At the time it seemed terrible but I ended up finding better jobs.

I've destroyed good relationships. At the time it seemed terrible but I ended up meeting someone I like even more.

I think you probably understand the point I'm trying to make but I would bet my life one day you'll look back in the future and realize that this was actually a good year for you because it ended up leading to better things and made you stronger.

Life has a funny way of teaching us lessons.

Didn't you tell us about your plasma TV before.?

[–] • 1 pt

Yes I buy them and sell them because there's a pretty big niche market for them. I mostly do it just because I enjoy calibrating TVs and checking them out.

Little late for tea isn't it?
