Got a recommendation? I'd be interested in hearing a thoughtful discussion about this.

In addition to Summer Student Season, I hear there's a lot of ICE pouring through LA this year.

Totally fair, my friend. You do you, but know that from the outside looking in, it seems like you're putting a lot of additional pressure on yourself to reach "perfection". Only you can know if this approach is working for you, regardless of the various labels society is trying on at this time.

I saw you got a lot of downvotes, but to me you are asking the same questions as the rest of us. If your experience is downvoted, don't worry about it. These things are totally subjective, nuanced to talk about, and there isn't 1 single "correct" universal answer. I personally benefitted from listening to the Anxious Overachiever podcast, which helped me realise that people in positions I percieve to be successful are struggling as hard as I do sometimes.

I appreciate you sharing your experience and broadening the discussion 🙂

A disability doesn't improve with medicine.

I think I understand what you're saying, but disabilities can absolutely improve with meds. Not all of them, and not all the time, but it sounds like that's what your ex-wife's experience was. She had disabling conditions, but it was more manageable when she took her meds. Despite this, there are aspects of her disability which were (are?) still challenging.

To me, THAT'S the experience which defines disability: you've got a condition which, despite yours and your doctor's best efforts, continues to express itself. And even then, I can see a lot of potential issues using that definition in terms of government support. It's compicated.

It's SO plain looking, I'm surprised too! He usually goes for "tackiest possible approach" so this feels like an oversight, even though its objectively a better outcome.

Ha ha mis-read the title and thought he was doing a public demonstration of his own fitness. I could use the laugh.

I believe the other groups have already boarded the plane and are impatiently waiting to take off, while group 9 still has to leave the terminal.

Type D is listed but not visually shown. Am I missing something?

Hey everyone, I've got a question and am hoping the community has some ideas. Is there a way to export Merlin's Life List at all?

My husband and I have been birding amateruly for 2 years now. We've heard almost 150 different birds in that time. I was browsing the life list this morning, remembering how we started, and how a couple of internarional vacations are VERY clearly identified! I'd love to be able to visualise this adventure we've been on together!

Can I export this, or am I better off copying it over manually? Help me jedi of c/birding, you're my only hope!

 

Inspired by my mis-reading of a recent post title, I'd like to ask if anyone has strong recommendations for an artist who can capture my beautiful boy in paint? Canadian-based if possible?
