How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

A guy recently asked if my wife and I were Christian hippies. Yeah, basically.

"Jesus freaks" are among the least offensive forms of both hippies and Christians. Plus they often look like Jesus, too.

Well, I'm sick. Currently waiting the nurse to prepare my IV and blood tests. The results will come out in 2 to 3 hours.

Thinking about the time I flew 2000 miles on my own dime to spend my birthday with my ex only for him to tell me a couple months later "I wasn't excited to see you".

Haven't thought about that in almost a decade. Funny how your brain just sometimes randomly decides to kick you when you're down.

At least you weren't my ex who called me once with a suicide threat and I basically said "do a flip."

Evangelism has been an important part of my adult life.

Update: they discarded any other illnesses and it seems I had a really bad case of flu. Second time in a month.
The IV and meds helped quite a lot with the pain and fever and now I'm at home.
Take care of yourselves.

Doing great now that there is stuff in my freezer again.

I had some Hispanic girl who barely spoke English ask me to pay for infant formula and diapers for her baby at a grocery store today. Tugging at my heartstrings doesn't part me with my money. I didn't make the baby. The baby is not family. I have no duty to it. If she can't afford it with her money, then she should make the guy that knocked her up pay it himself. And if not him, then she should get her mother whom she was shopping with do it. This is allegedly a common scam tactic too. People will beg for assistance and then turn around and exploit a return policy to run off with their target's money.

Little time to check on my fellow Kiwis, my apologies, hope all is going well as it can.

Stressed to the max as new role at work is rolling out, but I have accepted three things:
1. I don't know if I can do this.
2. If I can, I have all the support in the world, who will help guide me.
3. If I cannot, then I have learned my limitations.

I can't tell you to be free from fear. It will always be there. But step up when the opportunity is there, and failure is a hard, but necessary part of life. Have the strength, frens, to push yourselves.

Thank you! I needed this today.

Spoiler: Holy fuck

I'm on the path to homelessness. Once my dad dies I'm going to be left with emptying this house completely alone and I will lose everything- family pictures, the blankets my mom sewed, all our decorations and knick-knacks. Like I competely fucked up my life chasing a pipe dream and trying to escape my loneliness now I'm so fucked I should probably have a thread here.

I went to a counselor. He laughed me off and said I was just a late bloomer but with my (useless) college degree I would be fine. Dude, there's no fucking jobs for me.

Learn a trade. Plenty of industries offer apprenticeships, i.e. paid schooling and training, and are hurting for employees because 1) they gambled on outsourcing and lost (manufacturing) 2) they gambled on DEI and lost 3) millennials and zoomers all fell for the college grift instead of filling the roles their communities actually need.

If your degree is useless then write it off as a loss and move forward, don't let it constrain you/ruin your life.

I thought about getting a CDL but it seems like class B start very low and top out at not great while Class A require OTR for the first couple of years but I struggle with insomnia so I'm not sure that would be safe.

If you have any other suggestions or things I should look at I'm all ears.

You can get a CDL-A without doing OTR or even going through a company most likely, look into WOIA grants. I have no idea what the eligibility requirements are but they exist, also I believe Goodwill will pay for their local drivers but I'm not sure if you have to be retarded for that. Anyway class b rates might be low but if you're really facing homelessness can you really afford to be picky?

Other than that I know CNC machining is hurting for employees, at least in the rust belt, and offer apprenticeships.

I struggle with insomnia

Do you excercise?

I could get one, but after I get it I have to do something with it and everyone wants the TLT routes. If I'm only making $20-22 I'll be homeless anyways. I'll look more into CNC but I'm not seeing any appreciate where I'm at.

Do you excercise?

Yes, that's half my issue is I've been doing outdoor, active jobs until now and without it I fall apart

I had this happen a couple months ago for the first and only time and I was so shocked by this faggotry I just yelled FUCK OFF.

So this is apparently now a thing?

Try the military if youre under 40. Its not that bad. Get a bitch job in the air force/space force though, dont be retarded and become a marine.

I searched online to see if it's happened to other people and how frequently it happens. There were stories on Reddit (first search results) dating back 2 years ago. If I looked harder, it'd probably go even further back.
