Please re read the question and ask yourself if you have anything to add to this thread before posting again.
You cant say, this happens to me, all the time, but i dont keep score so i cant give any one specific example. I remember that it happens all the time but i dont remember one single instance of it happening.
This makes you either a liar or a compulsive liar from anyone elses perspective.
I’ve known people like you, this one guy who could play piano until he told me, an actual pianist, then suddenly his piano was at his aunties who lived 3 hours away so he didnt play much anymore. His aunty, who in a different lie lived only 30 minutes away. The same guy could fly an 8 passenger plane. But in a separate lie he could fly a 12 passenger plane.
See how easy that was? I made a statement/claim that i knew people like you. Then i backed it up with a specific example instead of being vague and annoying, pretending i couldn’t remember any specific examples.
What you are doing right now is called projection. You observe one aspect I have in common with someone else and declare I must be like them in other ways. Does that sound logically valid to you?
You suggested I reread the OP question. Here it is: “Have you ever seen a Rudolph moment happen in real life?”
Sounds like a yes or no question to me. My answer is yes, but you already knew that.
I never said I could play piano or fly a plane. But I can get people in a room to reveal whether they’re a Rudolph or a black-nosed reindeer. You’ve established you’d rather put someone down than entertain they might have special skills. Sorry bud, you’re not a Rudolph, and I don’t know if that’s something you can change.
That’s not exactly the classical definition of projection. At least in psychology, it’s not.
Either way, what i did was not projection by your terms or the real definition. It was an accusation. One you have yet to disprove.
When you quote OPs question, you are leaving out a large amount of context, like the fact that they then shared an entire story of their own. Doing this creates an implication that everyone else here understood, which was to share your own story.
If by asking the question OP only required a yes or no, then this thread would just be a bunch of people saying yes and no… and that is clearly not what was intended. So please dont be so disingenuous.
I don’t remember saying that you claimed to be able to play piano or fly a plane. Im sure you know that, and i may be misunderstanding an attempt by you to put me down, which would be fairly ironic considering its at the point that you attempt to put me down you are accusing me of doing the same.
So i dont really care if you think im not “a rudolph.” All i really care about is that you still haven’t backed up your claim. Despite being so adamant that you have “special skills”. Just back up your claims or keep your yes/no out of this clear request for elaboration. Because its not helpful and it makes you look like a dick.
Lost my best friend of 35+ years to an overdose back in July, then my 15 year old dog on Halloween. Then my mother got sick a week later and was in the ICU for over a month. Turned out to be a severe liver disease but she doesn’t qualify for a transplant, so she moved to Australia for better healthcare and to live her remaining days with other side of family….
Then my girlfriend lost her job.
So, we didn’t do Christmas this year. Not even a tree. Fuck it. Maybe next year.
I had a pretty good holiday, although, I found out that my little friend group at school are really conservative Christians and apparently they still support Trump.
I’ve had two over the last decade or so.1st was a cheap 110v that couldn’t run the jets and the heater at the same time. It was, as another poster mentioned, very fickle about the chemicals. I started out using chlorine but later switched to bromine. Mainly I hate the chlorine smell, but bromine does better in hot water anyway. Even so, I was forever testing and fiddling with the chemicals. Hot tubs are touchier than pools. Warm water is a great environment for bacteria so if your ph and sanitizers are off, the water can turn nasty pretty quickly.
When I moved, I left that one behind and got a much higher end spa. This one is a 240v and has much stronger jets and can stay hot when I’m using them. I’ve also switched to something called the Frog System. Get your tub ph, alkalinity, and everything set and toss in the two part floater. The first part has a mix of minerals that slowly dissolve. The second part is the chlorine. It attaches to the first and floats underneath is. As the chlorine dissolves, the whole thing slowly rolls over. Once the chlorine cartridge is floating on top, you replace it. Every three months, you replace the mineral cartridge. It is incredibly simple to use and I’ve pretty much stopped testing the water because the system seems to be maintaining everything perfectly. I’ve had to adjust the alkalinity once in the last year and that’s it. I’ve never had to add any other chemicals since I started using this system. As an added bonus, I rarely notice the chlorine smell. I highly recommend it.
As for the people who talk about bugs and stuff in the water… you need a cover for it. If you leave it open, of course it will get nasty. You also can have problems with vermin. If there are openings in the shell, including the bottom, mice will likely get in. Whenever it gets cold out, that hot tub is very inviting to them. If they get in, they will probably start chewing wires and die horribly while costing you a bundle in repair costs. Put the tub on some sort of pad, concrete or otherwise, to stop vermin from tunneling underneath and watch for and damage on the shell where they might try to chew their way in.
If you are like me and love a long hot soak once or twice a week it’s great. If not though, you may regret getting one. They can be a lot of work
