24 hour fitness brea

I’m trying to cycle my 20g tank with Dr. Tim bottled ammonia after seeing it hasn’t cycled yet when I posted here last. I started it yesterday with 4mL of ammonia, and I see it’s now nearing 4 ppm 24 hours later. I’m assuming I don’t add anymore and retest tomorrow right? And if tomorrows test shows below 1ppm, then I can dose up to 2 ppm? How do I figure out the right doses for up to 2 ppm? Is there another way or am I doing any of this right?

Just a rant guys...
It's my year with the kids, and being teens they don't want to tell me what they want to do. So my fiancee made plans. My oldest 17m has toncilitis and a broken arm, on a bunch of meds for both, made a big deal Friday night about how his meds make him tired. He then went to bed early. I noticed at 8 how his window open. The one where he busted the screen sneaking out last year. Obviously you can see where this is going. He didn't come home will 11 am Saturday. Also he busted the window sill, by stepping on it. He also ditched all the plans.
My 16m years old actually just double booked himself Saturday and ditched us for the other plans but told us.
Last night I went to bed at 11 pm my fiancee was still up so I gave her a massage to make her feel better. 30 min later the dogs were barking. I went to check on them, and the 17yo was gone (again)
On top of this she cleaned his room and is currently doing his laundry. We found out that got paid and spent 100% of his 2 week earnings in 24 hours. Except what he squirreled into cash app and Venmo. Despite owing us 1,000 for getting a ticket and trashing our minivan. He literally has no regrets about anything and lies for fun.
Now my fiancee is pissed at me because I can't control a 17yo. Really I pissed to but I have been bottling shit in cause it won't do any good yelling.

You have 16 slots to fill to make your dream Megadeth album. 12 main slots, and 4 bonus track slots (because Megadeth has an insane amount of albums).
Take one track from every Megadeth Studio album, and arrange them into your dream album. The four bonus tracks will go at the end. Also, you can replace 1 album with a track from either Hidden Treasures, or another album's bonus track if you choose. NO COVERS OR REMIXES!
Take into consideration what TYPES of songs you would want on an album, as well as how the album would be split into an A-side and B-side (and C-side for bonus tracks). Maybe the reason why your bonus tracks are there is because they didn't fit in with your album's layout. There are no wrong answers, I just want to see how different people think.
As For Me:
A-side

1. Holy Wars - (album opener)
   
2. Death From Within
   
3. Washington Is Next
   
4. A Tout Le Monde (Youthanasia Version)
   
5. In My Darkest Hour
   
6. Mechanix - (A-side closer)
   

B-side

1. Trust - (B-side opener)
   
2. Tears In A Vial
   
3. 13
   
4. I'll Be There
   
5. 44 Minutes
   
6. Symphony Of Destruction - (album closer)
   

C-side (Bonus Tracks)

1. Dread And Fugitive Mind
   
2. Dance In The Rain
   
3. Mission to Mars
   
4. Peace Sells
   

Hello all,
We are doing a cross country move to OC and will be moving into an apartment in the village area of downtown Laguna Beach (Cliff Dr). We will be using a 15-16ft pod container for the move.
My question is: will I need to apply for a temporary permit (and any subsequent no parking signs) to leave my pod/container on the street for a few hours? I am planning on having the move completed within 3-5 hours of drop off (would like to do 24 hours but doubt parking will be allowed for this amount).
There is a few metered parking spaces by my unit.
I could not find any information whatsoever around this on the Laguna beach city website. I saw that Newport and Laguna Niguel both require permits, but not sure about Laguna.
This move has been very stressful so we greatly appreciate all of the help!!!

All of my driving is leisure so despite touring the country I could make 20k miles a year work as ill mostly be staying in different camp grounds for weeks at a time.
I refuse to drive a car out of warranty especially for something like this where I'm pulling my house and office.
So my options are buy a nice certified pre owned suv with an unlimited mile warranty that lasts roughly the life of the loan (lexus, mercedes both offer this not sure about others), or lease literally any vehicle since it will stay under warranty.
Here's my thought on the lease. Given that I'm going to be beating the shit out of it towing all the time as well as idling the engine as a glorified generator for power (honestly gas to idle a car all night in between camp grounds to power the RV seems cheaper than a solar setup in the long run), 25 cents a mile over at lease end seems like a bargain even if it's thousands.
Why?
A few reasons. For one, engine hours aren't monitored in the lease. I'd never treat a car I owned that way but for a lease it seems like a cheap way to deal with high power needs and avoid paying campground fees with a guaranteed repair if it causes engine problems. Realistically it won't anyway since I'm not keeping the car longer than 3 years and police cars run pretty much 24 7 and they're in service about the same amount of time.
Secondly, based on the abuse to the car, i wouldn't want to own or worry about selling it at lease end. So it seeks like 25 cents is a bargain when the alternative is gambling on the depreciation given an unpredictable market.
Also, if the difference between the trade in value and lease end buy out is less than the mileage overage then I could just buy it out and sell it to the dealer.
What do you guys think? Keep in mind I am absolutely averse to fixing cars and breakdowns and also prefer to have a nice newer car aesthetically.

Budget: Around 500€
My wife needs a laptop to watch online classes videos, use Microsoft office and general study use. No games, no video editing, so no heavy tasks.
She'd like the laptop to have an small footprint so she can fit papers and notes around the desk, so I guess around 14" screen would be right. I personally value a good screen, because it's the thing she will be looking at for many hours.
I feel completely lost looking for a laptop because there are hundreds of models on the market and I'm a desktop user. What's a good model for around that price? (500€)
Thanks!

I'm 17, and it's summer now, so I don't see friends everyday. I work a job, but it's a walmart stocking job at an understaffed store, so I'm too busy sweating to have a chat with customers.
I have been adamant about hating social media for years now. I've identified exactly how social media impacts and messes with my life. The issue is, I use it as a coping mechanism for loneliness.
Whenever i'm on instagram reels, posting on my story, or if i'm lucky chatting with a friend on the app, I don't feel alone. I know that it's a placebo. I'm just afraid to give it up. I am actually scared of deleting social media. It makes me feel sick and empty.
I feel especially lonely now because a girl who I have been dating (and she was the one who hit me up in the first place) decided to end our relationship. According to her I never provided affirmation or emotion when we were together. I'm terrible with emotional vulnerability, so that hit hard in making me think I will never be able to form a deep connection. It wouldn't be a biggie, but we went super fast physically, and that messes with a persons emotions.
Nonetheless I have blocked social media on my phone for the next 24 hours. I need to endure the loneliness and pain of getting rid of that stuff.
I just find it strange how social media can be used to mask what would otherwise be solitude and loneliness. It's depriving us of the incentives for what makes us human -- real social connection.
Thanks for reading. Just wanted to hear other's thoughts on this. Have a nice day.

Hi all, just took the first pill at 230am (Currently 11am where I'm located. I will be 9 weeks in a couple days. I wanted to know if I should wait the 24 hours to take the 1st set of miso pills or can I do the vagina method soon? The instructions I received from aidaccess doesn't say anything about the vagina method. How accurate is this in working after 8 weeks? I don't want to get nauseous. I'm in a state where abortion is still legal (NC).

When I think about what I want in a romantic relationship, I think what I want is, this feeling of gratitude and joy, like there’s nowhere else I would want to be at this moment. This is actually a feeling I have pretty regularly.
I have it when I am with my friends or family, I will think wow I am so happy to have these people in my life! I even have it at my job sometimes. There’s a period of the day where the sun shines very bright into my apartment, and I just feel happy in that moment. Or when I use to work in an office, I would drive home in a very good mood, not because I was going home, but because I had a great day with my coworkers.
I also feel like it when I am doing a hobby, like it comes over me when I am at my ballet class or my French class. I’ll just think wow, I am very happy in this moment. Or every morning I will walk to the lake near my home and sit down and read my book along it for an hour, and I feel a sense of peace during it. This is not a perpetual state of continuous bliss or happiness, it’s a feeling that arises within me at times.
And well I feel like if I experience that feeling of joy when I am doing things on my own, when I am doing something I enjoy, when I am with my friends and family, and even when I am working, is it fine to want to have that in a relationship? It’s been a while since I’ve dated, the last time I did so I ended up in an emotionally abusive relationship, and even before he started acting in that manner, I never had the feeling of what I described here, even though I tried very hard to feel that way with him.
I am not saying I expect to feel happy 24/7 with someone, just that I would like to genuinely feel a sense of joy and inner peace come over me when I am with him at times. It’s also not about expecting him to entertain me or make me happy, but just that if maybe we are cuddling, or each reading a book, or walking somewhere in the city I live in, and just thinking, wow theres no where else I would rather be in this moment than here with you, or I am so happy to have you in my life, etc.
I am just wondering if what I described here sounds like something totally crazy, unrealistic, or insane to actually want in a romantic relationship

Been about 24 hours now for me. Still feel like shit and can’t eat. I’ve blocked them on WhatsApp and deleted every social media I had.
They’ve tried reaching me on other numbers with the same threats. Showing screenshots of messages to my family members on Facebook that are “delivered” and they promise to delete before my family sees them. But of course nobody in my family actually got a message so i hope this helps others realize not to fall for this scare tactic.
I’m still pretty nervous about it. But I think I’ve finally processed what would happen if they did send the video they have of me. And realized.. nothing would. So that’s helped calm me down a bit.
Hoping the messages and calls stop soon. Would you recommend changing my number?

Only Europe Please - short note - If you're not into reading or receiving long messages,don't read any further + Please If you don't want to read everything because of my post being too long for you & instead of reading It all - ..skip some parts - find another person to talk to.Let's respect each other and our free time. All people criticizing/making fun of me & other people - will permanently be blocked.Pretty much as people questioning my post and giving me unsolicited advice.I'm not here for any conflicts and I know I can't please everyone - I know I never will.. However It's me who should feel comfortable in my new potential friendship & obviously someone interested in being my friend - not the whole world which is why I don't need any advice from people who don't even want to be a part of my life. The amount of rude people on Reddit always criticizing others and making fun of them is unbelievably high but let me tell you something - NEVER let anyone make choices for you and criticize you only because you're different! Always fight for your dreams and never let anyone make you think you're worthless! It's your life and you're the one deciding what's best for you - If you want to judge me despite not even wanting to talk to me or give me avice better block me
​
Hello guys! 🙂 (read everything before you decide to send me a message) Please send me a message ONLY If you're in the same situation and If your expectations are the same as mine.I want to find like minded people from Europe (Why Europe? Read my post to find out) I'm looking for something permanent (remember - you can feel lonely even If you're surrounded by others - If there's no emotional bond) I'm fed up of meeting people who never make any time for me & only text me once or twice a week to ask me "what are you up to?" Out of boredom.I don't want to meet people asking others a million of questions like "what's your favorite movie?" Just to give you one word answer and ask you another question "and music? Your favorite song?" I'm looking for something "deeper" & different🙂What kind of friend would I like to find? Someone to talk to on a daily basis - Someone who needs It & wants It just as much as me
​
Do you ever feel like an option? Like a stranger to others despite knowing them for months or years & talking to them quite often? Like there's always something and someone more important than you and you just..don't fit in and no matter what you do - your effort is never appreciated?
​
What are my expectations? I would like to meet someone in a similar situation – why? Because I honestly feel like only a person with the same expectations and a similar outlook on life would get along with me & because I feel more comfortable talking to people like me..Friendless people who need a strong bond - people without friends and without partners..Don't get me wrong…Most people deserve to be happy and It's good to have friends but people who have friends or families in real life are usually more focused on them ( which is completely understandable) & have less time for others + I simply don't want to be replaced by anyone..I kind of envy people who can call others , true friends given I don't have an emotional bond with any of my acquaintances. Whenever I hear that others have friends I simply get sad because (believe it or not) If I had to choose between 20 people to talk to (Acquaintances) and one special person - I'd choose that one special person without any hesitation .
​
I also want to talk to others on a daily basis mainly because..I want to see someone’s effort & be someone's first choice - not another person to have random conversations with..Why I'd rather talk to people from my continent? Well..Mainly because I would like to see someone I'd get along with - In the far future - face to face :) + I don't want to wait any longer than 6 hours to receive a message - Especially given most people are always available on social media sites & keep their phones in a pocket.Once you receive & open my message - get back to me (If you're as serious as I am & really need a true friend) waiting 6 hours to receive a message is more than enough
​
I'm by no means criticising people who don't want to talk to others often / People who really are super busy & People who want to find someone to have non important conversations with - I'm aware that not everyone has the same expectations which is why everything you're reading now - is here for a reason.All I'm suggesting is - I don't want anything temporary and I don't want to be the one always giving more than receiving.Listen people - I used to ignore being..ignored by others..always being just an option to talk to during tough times or moments of boredom.I was too young to realize that I was never important enough for most people that were a part of my life I don't know who needs to hear this but..No one is too busy to make time for you! People make excuses to avoid others because they prioritize everything and (maybe) everyone..over them. It's true that most people really are busy - but It takes only a few seconds to start a conversation (If you're into short messages) and a few minutes (1-10/15) to type a long message Don't let anyone lie to you.
​
Truth is that most people either don't like you enough to make time for you or just simply - feel no need to talk to others often but are they too busy? No..You don't need to send me a message just to ask me and tell me "Do you really want to talk daily? I like long messages but I can't promise to contact you often" If you really are unsure please don't send me a message.I don't need more acquaintances aka people to talk to - occasionallyI'm not trying to sound rude - I just don't want to meet new people and get emotionally attached - only to end up being left alone after weeks or months of daily conversations.I'm sick of that never ending story and always meeting people who ghost me without a single word (even if everything seems to be ok) or people who "change priorities" over time & become like strangers…I don't want to go through this ever again.Let me tell you one thing – A true friend would never just give up on you for no reason :)It’s always possible to find someone to have a random conversation with – someone willing to send you one message once or twice a week..but..It’s almost impossible to find people willing to make time for you.
​
I’m not asking a busy person to make time for me by changing some plans! Absolutely not! I’m here to find someone who wants to talk daily (throughout the day or maybe even night) of one’s own will.Someone looking for the same kind of connection.Strong friendships are based on mutual support. One of the best things you can do for a friend in need, is just to be there for them when they want to talk.I often see posts from people who always say how friendless they are because they don't feel loved or appreciated by their "friends" remember! A true friend - someone who truly likes you or someone who wants to get to know you - will always find time for you. 🙂
​
I'm not really interested in small talk/short messages - I love long and meaningful conversations. It's so easy to find someone who loves abbreviations and questions like "How are you?" How was your day? Or what are you interested in? But so hard/almost impossible to find a person who knows how to keep a conversation going & show others some effort.Building and maintaining friendships takes time and effort.Never allow pursuits or possessions to become bigger priorities than your relations with other people.Close friendships are so important to us because they are so difficult to form + Having friends can help you feel as if you belong to something that brings purpose and connection to your life
​
• I do NOT respond to any „Hey,hmu” or „u want to talk” type of messages (super short messages or messages full of abbreviations – I literally can’t stand abbreviations and acronyms in text messages) ALL messages full of abbreviations will immediately be ignored.I also don't like it when people ignore everything I say in private messages just to focus on some question or? Start talking only about themselves.. I love conversations with people refering to every part of my messages - not just some question.
​
• No dirty messages PLEASE.I'm not looking for anyone to flirt with and I'm not looking for a partner either. No NSWF profiles..I always check people's profiles (Even comment history) - To avoid guys,trying to get inappropriate photos from adult women or? flirt with them & If your comment history is full of rude comments - you and I wouldn't get along! I can't stand people who judge other people and use vulgar words to describe them or? Make fun of them.Respect is very important
​
• If both (you and I) are from the same country (I live in a non-English speaking country ) - I want to communicate with you in our first language! No - Not because I don't understand English because as you see - I do. Why then? English is simply overrated and people don't appreciate other languages as much as they should. So.. If we're from the same country and you want to talk only in English (which is quite common on reddit) - Talk to someone else. I just simply don't want to talk to a person from the same country - in a foreign language as It's just something I don't understand even If all you want is to practice your english
• Please only adult people 18-36 age range (I'm 27)
​
• I don’t respond to messages I don’t find interesting even If they're long - If after receiving and reading your message I don't feel comfortable or think "I wouldn't get along with him/her" I simply do not respond (what I’m suggesting is that I don’t always respond to someone’s first or second message because..sometimes you just know If you’d get along with someone or not- I’d never ignore anyone after days or weeks of daily conversations though) just because I don’t want to do anything forcefully & because I don’t want to lead anyone on. I read all messages but I definitely don't respond to all of them! I want to make it clear because I don't want to be accused of not responding and not reading people's messages! - Some people don't message me back as well and even though It is a bit disappointing I'm ok with that! - as long as there's no emotional bond - I think it's ok to not respond to someone's first or second message If people think they wouldn't get along! I can't stand being ignored after days or weeks of daily conversation and seeing people changing priorities but that's something different - something I don't want to go through ever again for real If I'm really interested in someone's message - I respond within a matter of minutes - max 6 hours (If I'm in bed - just sleeping) you won't even hear from me "I'm too busy" because I know myself and If I really was too busy to make time for others - I wouldn't be here. I either want to talk to someone..or not.I don't want to pretend someone I'm not and always try to find some cheap excuses to avoid others. (unlike some people)
​
• Don’t ask me “Can you tell me something about yourself?” If you really want to get to know me - you can ask me questions :) I'm an open book.
​
• It would be better If you guys were into emojis - just like me - just to describe your emotions through text. Two emojis - 🙂 and 🙁 are completely enough I just don't like emotionless messages.I also don't like it when people say "yeah" or yea"as it sounds dismissively.
​
• I want to talk on reddit first (just to make sure If I'd get along with you ) before moving to Discord or some other app
• Time response matters to me a lot! It matters to me whether I get a message back after one hour,three hours,6 hours or..12 hours and even..after a couple of days..And If you're another person just looking for one day conversation and then? "Disappear" for some amount of time longer than one day to come back and apologize me for being busy - don't even leave me a message.I just want to be honest with you from the start.I'm interested only in daily conversations
​
Why can’t you see any of my interests listed down below? Because what really matters to me is..who you are (If you’re honest,talkative,understanding,caring and trustworthy – for example) just simply – It matters to me what you’re like! not what you like.Don’t get me wrong – you can tell me what your hobbies are but in my personal opinion,common interests are important mainly when you want to find a gaming buddy (for example) or If you want to meet someone to hang out with in real life and..go bowling for example.What most people seem to care about are other people's interests – I don’t. I get along with other people despite having completely different hobbies but I absolutely don’t get along with people way different than me (different expectations and outlook on life– way different sense of humor or personality traits – It’s just an example) It doesn't make ANY DIFFERENCE to me If you're a gamer or? Someone interested in photography! It doesn't make any difference - > as long as you're talkative and kind and If you also want to find someone willing to stay in your life..for good - But If you're into small talk and all you want is to...type and receive super short messages or If you're here only because you're bored and don't know what to do + If you're a very sarcastic person - I'm definitely not for you!I don't get along with overly sarcastic people turning everything into a joke. Friendships should be natural – not forced.
​
Both people wanting to be friends should feel comfortable and have something in common. No - not necessarily a similar taste in music or movies but something else..Most friendships don't fizzle out because of people not having the same hobbies but..because they just simply have different expectations when It comes to something important.I'm not here out of boredom and trust me - I'm not here to meet as many people as possible.I choose quality over quantity.I higly value myself and my time & Sometimes one person but a person who makes you feel comfortable and understood - is more than enough :) We ALL can choose what kind of people we’d like to talk to and maybe even become really good friends with and I? I don’t want anyone to be disappointed.We all have some expectations after all.I know that people don't have to talk everyday to be friends but I'm interested only in daily conversations with someone also interested in talking dailyIf you really need someone to talk to due to loneliness and If you have time to talk to me daily (throughout the day and maybe even night)I always make time for others.I'm literally always available.I could even stay up all night long only to talk to someone. I’m ready to commit but only If there’s some chemistry between me and someone else.I don’t do anything forcefully.
​
If you want to talk to me tell me your story - tell me why you're here, what kind of friend would you like to meet :) Et cetera.Such messages are way more interesting to me than...someone's long list of hobbies. I know! It's unusual on reddit but I don't make friends based on hobbies..I want to meet someone with the same mindset as mine to finally feel understood and get close to someone new.You can share your problems with me - I absolutely don't mind "complaining" as I've been through a lot in my life.What do people usually tell you when you tell them that's something's wrong? "Don't complain" or "Life's not over yet - one day you'll be happy" or "There are worse situations than yours" and..obviously "Find a therapist" Life's not a fairytale and sometimes things don't go as planned.Emotions shouldn't be bottled up.I'm sick of people always telling others "everything's gonna be ok" move on " & more..Trust me people - not everyone wants to hear "Just believe in yourself and everything's gonna be ok" Some people take it as reassurance. But others see it as false hope. Imagine being told that things will be okay, only for them to get worse..Do you guys know why telling someone "everything's gonna be ok" Is wrong? Because you can't see the future.
​
You can't guarantee others that one day they'll finally be happy + when It comes to social interactions - We're only responsible for ourselves - not for others & as you guys know people let us down quite often (sometimes even when there's no reason) so instead of telling people how they should move on,forget everything and be happy or asking them to find a therapist - be there for them! Always be willing to listen to them If you really like them or want to get to know them & don't suggest everyone in a tough situation to find a therapist because a therapist won't ever replace a true friend + It's quite normal to be disappointed If people always do something to hurt you.Sharing your hardships with other people in a very similar situation or exactly the same one - is VERY helpful If the other person understands you & wants to start all over by just letting it all out & feeling emotional support instead of always hearing some "positive quotes" or someone saying "Stop complaining let's talk about something else"Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on. I appreciate sensitive people who always try to understand others.Empathy is everything
​
Our world needs more peace 🤗 I've seen a lot of rude comments on reddit.If you don't agree with me - OK but please don't criticize me + Not everyone is here to ask for advice.Listen people - I know how different my post is & I know It won't be easy for me to find what or rather who - I'm looking for BUT I always want to be myself instead of pretending someone I'm not and lying to others.I know It would be easier if (like others) I had less expectations but I I know what I want and honestly? If my post was different..I wouldn't be me.Even If I won't meet a person I'd get along with - that's ok! but don't give me any unsolicited advice because I wouldn't change for someone who doesn't even know me pretty much as I wouldn't want to change anyone else.I'm not trying to "fit in" and be like everyone else - just to get more attention.Accept me for who I am or let go - is my motto.I'm not here to argue with anyone and to make fun of others.
​
Please - If you're a completely different person than the described type of person I'm looking for (If you love abrreviations,If you don't need an emotional connection,If you're sarcastic and quiet) or If you simply disagree with my post - don't force yourself to send me a message.I want my new potential friendship,to be natural which is why I want you to contact me If your needs are the same - I don't want you to try to change yourself only to please me - Pretending to be someone you're not - is the worst.I know It's possible to find what I'm looking for as I had conversations with people looking for exactly the same thing and being nice to me - I want to believe in my luck again as I had it a few times on reddit - I've recently lost someone I thought could be a friend of mine (such a perfect match) and I'm sad but I want to finally be happy again & find someone always wanting to talk - sending me random pictures throughout the day - food pictures or pictures of some animals and what is the most important to me? To find people who value online friendships as much as they would value real life ones as there's another human being on the other side
​
No comments please.Only Private messages and chat requests.I don't really like public conversations and I also do not respond to comments so If you want to send me a message just do it without saying "You can DM me" + I'm online almost all the time and yes - I am very selective but If I had to choose between having another (new) acquaintance and being in the same situation as I currently am - I'd always choose second option.I don't need more people to talk to every now and then and any chit chat so please think twice before you decide to send me a message

Only Europe Please - short note - If you're not into reading or receiving long messages,don't read any further + Please If you don't want to read everything because of my post being too long for you & instead of reading It all - ..skip some parts - find another person to talk to.Let's respect each other and our free time. All people criticizing/making fun of me & other people - will permanently be blocked.Pretty much as people questioning my post and giving me unsolicited advice.I'm not here for any conflicts and I know I can't please everyone - I know I never will.. However It's me who should feel comfortable in my new potential friendship & obviously someone interested in being my friend - not the whole world which is why I don't need any advice from people who don't even want to be a part of my life. The amount of rude people on Reddit always criticizing others and making fun of them is unbelievably high but let me tell you something - NEVER let anyone make choices for you and criticize you only because you're different! Always fight for your dreams and never let anyone make you think you're worthless! It's your life and you're the one deciding what's best for you - If you want to judge me despite not even wanting to talk to me or give me avice better block me
​
​
Hello guys! 🙂 (read everything before you decide to send me a message) Please send me a message ONLY If you're in the same situation and If your expectations are the same as mine.I want to find like minded people from Europe (Why Europe? Read my post to find out) I'm looking for something permanent (remember - you can feel lonely even If you're surrounded by others - If there's no emotional bond) I'm fed up of meeting people who never make any time for me & only text me once or twice a week to ask me "what are you up to?" Out of boredom.I don't want to meet people asking others a million of questions like "what's your favorite movie?" Just to give you one word answer and ask you another question "and music? Your favorite song?" I'm looking for something "deeper" & different🙂What kind of friend would I like to find? Someone to talk to on a daily basis - Someone who needs It & wants It just as much as me
​
​
Do you ever feel like an option? Like a stranger to others despite knowing them for months or years & talking to them quite often? Like there's always something and someone more important than you and you just..don't fit in and no matter what you do - your effort is never appreciated?
​
​
What are my expectations? I would like to meet someone in a similar situation – why? Because I honestly feel like only a person with the same expectations and a similar outlook on life would get along with me & because I feel more comfortable talking to people like me..Friendless people who need a strong bond - people without friends and without partners..Don't get me wrong…Most people deserve to be happy and It's good to have friends but people who have friends or families in real life are usually more focused on them ( which is completely understandable) & have less time for others + I simply don't want to be replaced by anyone..I kind of envy people who can call others , true friends given I don't have an emotional bond with any of my acquaintances. Whenever I hear that others have friends I simply get sad because (believe it or not) If I had to choose between 20 people to talk to (Acquaintances) and one special person - I'd choose that one special person without any hesitation .
​
​
I also want to talk to others on a daily basis mainly because..I want to see someone’s effort & be someone's first choice - not another person to have random conversations with..Why I'd rather talk to people from my continent? Well..Mainly because I would like to see someone I'd get along with - In the far future - face to face :) + I don't want to wait any longer than 6 hours to receive a message - Especially given most people are always available on social media sites & keep their phones in a pocket.Once you receive & open my message - get back to me (If you're as serious as I am & really need a true friend) waiting 6 hours to receive a message is more than enough
​
​
I'm by no means criticising people who don't want to talk to others often / People who really are super busy & People who want to find someone to have non important conversations with - I'm aware that not everyone has the same expectations which is why everything you're reading now - is here for a reason.All I'm suggesting is - I don't want anything temporary and I don't want to be the one always giving more than receiving.Listen people - I used to ignore being..ignored by others..always being just an option to talk to during tough times or moments of boredom.I was too young to realize that I was never important enough for most people that were a part of my life I don't know who needs to hear this but..No one is too busy to make time for you! People make excuses to avoid others because they prioritize everything and (maybe) everyone..over them. It's true that most people really are busy - but It takes only a few seconds to start a conversation (If you're into short messages) and a few minutes (1-10/15) to type a long message Don't let anyone lie to you.
​
​
Truth is that most people either don't like you enough to make time for you or just simply - feel no need to talk to others often but are they too busy? No..You don't need to send me a message just to ask me and tell me "Do you really want to talk daily? I like long messages but I can't promise to contact you often" If you really are unsure please don't send me a message.I don't need more acquaintances aka people to talk to - occasionallyI'm not trying to sound rude - I just don't want to meet new people and get emotionally attached - only to end up being left alone after weeks or months of daily conversations.I'm sick of that never ending story and always meeting people who ghost me without a single word (even if everything seems to be ok) or people who "change priorities" over time & become like strangers…I don't want to go through this ever again.Let me tell you one thing – A true friend would never just give up on you for no reason :)It’s always possible to find someone to have a random conversation with – someone willing to send you one message once or twice a week..but..It’s almost impossible to find people willing to make time for you.
​
​
I’m not asking a busy person to make time for me by changing some plans! Absolutely not! I’m here to find someone who wants to talk daily (throughout the day or maybe even night) of one’s own will.Someone looking for the same kind of connection.Strong friendships are based on mutual support. One of the best things you can do for a friend in need, is just to be there for them when they want to talk.I often see posts from people who always say how friendless they are because they don't feel loved or appreciated by their "friends" remember! A true friend - someone who truly likes you or someone who wants to get to know you - will always find time for you. 🙂
​
​
I'm not really interested in small talk/short messages - I love long and meaningful conversations. It's so easy to find someone who loves abbreviations and questions like "How are you?" How was your day? Or what are you interested in? But so hard/almost impossible to find a person who knows how to keep a conversation going & show others some effort.Building and maintaining friendships takes time and effort.Never allow pursuits or possessions to become bigger priorities than your relations with other people.Close friendships are so important to us because they are so difficult to form + Having friends can help you feel as if you belong to something that brings purpose and connection to your life
​
​
• I do NOT respond to any „Hey,hmu” or „u want to talk” type of messages (super short messages or messages full of abbreviations – I literally can’t stand abbreviations and acronyms in text messages) ALL messages full of abbreviations will immediately be ignored.I also don't like it when people ignore everything I say in private messages just to focus on some question or? Start talking only about themselves.. I love conversations with people refering to every part of my messages - not just some question.
​
​

Exploring WhatsApp Features

3.1 Status Updates
WhatsApp's status feature enables you to share photos, videos, or text updates with your contacts that disappear after 24 hours. Spice up your status by adding filters, captions, or even emojis. This feature is perfect for sharing memorable moments or capturing your daily adventures.
WhatsApp Web
WhatsApp Web allows you to access your WhatsApp account from your computer. By scanning a QR code with your phone, you can sync your chats and conversations, making it convenient to continue your conversations while working on a larger screen.
Broadcast Lists
If you need to send the same message to multiple people without creating a group, WhatsApp's broadcast lists come in handy. Create a broadcast list by going to the Chats tab, tapping on the three dots menu, and selecting "New Broadcast." Add the desired contacts, compose your message, and hit send. This way, you can save time and effort by avoiding repetitive individual messages.
Archiving Chats
To keep your chat list organized, you can archive chats that are less active or no longer relevant. Simply swipe left on the chat you want to archive and tap the archive button. Archived chats will be moved to a separate folder, allowing you to declutter your main chat screen while still having access to those conversations whenever needed.

WhatsApp tips and tricks: Privacy and Security

Two-Step Verification

Protecting your WhatsApp account is crucial, and enabling two-step verification adds an extra layer of security. Go to WhatsApp settings, select "Account," then "Two-step verification" to set it up. By creating a six-digit PIN, you ensure that even if someone gets hold of your SIM card, they won't be able to access your WhatsApp without the PIN.
Controlling Privacy Settings
WhatsApp provides granular control over your privacy settings. You can choose who sees your profile picture, status updates, last seen timestamp, and more. To adjust these settings, navigate to "Account" in WhatsApp settings and select "Privacy." Customize your privacy settings according to your preferences and enjoy a secure and private chatting experience.

Simply open the chat, tap on the contact or group name at the top, and select "Mute notifications." Choose the desired duration, and you'll no longer be bothered by constant notifications, allowing you to focus on what matters most.
