You have to angle your body such that the water drips straight down and not toward the front. It requires some practice to get the hang of.

We bought a countertop convection toaster oven that preheats within ~5 minutes. As a family of 2, it has pretty much replaced our oven usage, but a larger family might not like it as much. It can fit up to a 9x13 pan so that's a small sheet pan or most casserole dishes.

It's really nice that it doesn't make the kitchen hot. It can also air fry decently, not as nice as a standalone air fryer, but it's way more versatile. Ours is a ~ $300 Calphalon, pricier than most, but we use it almost daily, and the cheap Oster one we had before only lasted about a year. I'm sorry this sounds like an ad.

About once a week. We're more concerned about the impact on our waist lines than our finances.

One thing we try to do to save money is to order meals for leftovers. As an example, a $14 burger will almost always be one meal, while a $14 Thai curry typically lasts for 3 meals or more. Even within specific restaurants, bowls or plates offer more bang for your buck than sandwich entrees.

We also often roast vegetables or other side dishes in the oven while waiting for delivery, mainly for health but it's also typically cheaper.

I find binding pretty uncomfortable, and I don't like the way it looks on me. Have you tried taping? Some say it feels better.

Yeah you really have to block the annoying communities. I did have to do that on Reddit too as well though. And subscribe to some nice stuff so you have a good home feed to look at when All isn't working for you.

It sounds like the best you can do is reach out and encourage the people around him to keep an eye out. They may continue to enable him, but there's often a point in which even fellow addicts can see that someone is really suffering and needs help. You've also mentioned that you separated before, and he cleaned up, so that just might be the case again. Maybe you two really do need to separate permanently so that both of you can grow. Regardless, do what you can to help him, but your primary focus should be on your needs. Definitely talk through this with your therapist as well.

I thought that too. I bought a rocket book to make it super easy to scan and organize. But I never bothered to actually scan anything. It's just one of those things I will never get around to, so I just switched back to typing. Idk maybe ymmv if you don't have really bad ADHD like I do 🤷

Use habit stacking to make it part of your routine. Just start doing it after you brush your teeth or whatever in the evening. You can also set a reminder with Google tasks or whatever your preferred app is.

I have been typing my journals for over a decade. If you don't have a fondness for handwriting, then it will not make you feel any better. I find it frustrating to write by hand. It's significantly slower than my thoughts, it adds more clutter, it's less convenient, it cramps my hand, and you lose out on the ability to search your notes to help you remember events or check your progress. You don't have to use a fancy journaling app if you don't want to. I just use Google docs.

Voyager sort of works for that. If you click into a post, switch accounts, and click on posts, then the post you were last looking at on the other account will still be open. However, if you misclick and don't tap on posts right away (e.g. tap inbox instead), then tapping the posts button will show the subscriptions sidebar instead of the post.
