Im getting my very first car monday and i have some questions i thought some of you all might be able to answer.

First, i want to deck it out and learn how to add cool parts onto it, maybe replace the bumpers or put a spoiler on the back but im sure where are good places to find those parts. Or places to find cool car decor and stuff like that so i was wondering if yall knew any stores or websites I could check out.

Second, if you have owned a Chevy malibu before how was your experience with it? Mines a 2014 and its been in use for a while so i doubt it'll last me a long time but just wanted to make sure i didn't get the absolute worst car ever that'll breakdown in a year or so. It runs fine and only has one small issue that I can fix myself with some help with my mom.

Im 18 and fairly healthy aside from bad eating habits and some marijuana usage, but recently ive been getting sick more, ive alr kinda pin pointed some of the possible main causes:

Night shift

working Night shift in a really dusty warehouse

not taking vitamins & bad eating habits

mother nature saying fuck you to Kentucky and making 50° one day, 80° the next and then 30° after that

living in Kentucky (the "allergy valley")

Smoking wayy to much weed (which im currently on a t break for which withdrawal is really not helping this nasty cold ive got)

Ive gotten sick 3 times in the past 4 months and im really really really getting tired of losing sleep and my weekends because it feels like a horse with enough pollen to keep a beehive feed for years kicked me in my sleep. One time i took a nap before work and got hit was a small cold because the weather decided to drop 20° degrees while i was sleeping.

This shit is really aggravating though, being sick damn near once a month is messing with my freetime which i alr lack since i work nights. Spending a week every month getting sick ontop of monthly periods feels like life is playing tricks on me. Its gotten so bad with this current chest cold that ive got that I've resorted to wearing a mask at work and im putting more effort into staying healthy. I may look crazy but hell im started to think everyone is crazy, when i get home from work my snot is blackish grey from the amount of dirt and dust that gets up their from just a 5 hour shift. Why are people not wearing mask more often? Most importantly, why has my dumbass not been wearing a mask?!?

To end this rant to the void on a good note, thank god for bathtubs with jets in them. And god bless my mother for buying a house with a bathtub with jets in it. A hot bath with jets, night quil and a cold coke feel like a warm blanket on my muscus filled soul.

Im so exhausted with having my weekends spent rotting in bed trying to recover from a fucking cold. I work in a dusty warehouse and the weather in Kentucky has just been horrid i mean its fucking May. MAY. And its 50° outside. On top of that i decided to quit weed so im dealing with withdrawals, lack of sleep, fever and low appetite all with my other symptoms. Im going to try to eat better, get some more fruits and vitamins into my diet to help boost my immune system and honestly I'm really debating wearing a mask at work since this is horrible. Ive been sick bed ridden from colds or sinus infections 4 times in the past 3 months. Ik its not much but when you wake up with only 3-4 hours of your day before you get ready for work you really start to value your weekends. That and being sick and being stuck in the horrible cold air and dusty warehouse with no heating or ac is just making it 20x worse.

Been playing for officially 2 weeks now, and i cannot put this damn thing down. Ive learned "nobody to blame" by chris stapleton, im not a huge fan of country music but gosh its such a fun song to play. I'm trying to learn "nobody else by you" by the moldy peaches but the strumming patterns are different with every video i watch so thats a little confusing, that and I cannot for the life of me keep rhythm so ill have to keep practicing and playing that one by ear. But its safe to say im hooked, everytime i lay down to sleep my brain is like "one more song it wouldn't hurt". I think if i listen to nobody to blame another time my ears are gonna fall off lol. How are you other beginners doing? Are yall also becoming guitar addicts lol?

So im 18 and still sleep with my baby blanket. Ik its weird but i just enjoy sleeping with something soft against my face. The blanket itself isn't very sentimental to me and its in really good shape for a 18yr old blanket so i figured if i could find a replacement i could give it to a kids thrift store or maybe keep it as a family heirloom if i ever had my own kids. Since ive been into crochet recently and ive already got a big project that'll take a while in the works so i figured this might be something small and easy that i could do to keep me motivated. Ive found a yarn similar to the texture of the blanket but i was wondering if any of you guys might have any recommendations on yarns that super soft and can washed frequently (weekly or biweekly) without ruining the project long term. Again ik this is lowkey really weird but please dont judge me to much😭. If you all need a better picture of the yarn or blanket pls let me know ill post it in the comments!

The answer is probably yes but i figured seeing other people's perspectives and experiences could help me pinpoint whatever the hell is going on with me. So I work nights, 10-3am and lately ill get a random wave of nausea, ive struggled with nausea from sinus issues all my life. Especially living in Kentucky where the valley just traps any and all allergies, mold ect and shoves it down our noses an throats. But after getting this job sometimes its so bad i have to sit in the bathroom and just wait it out just in case i puke my guts out lol. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Crohet beginner here, ive only really dabbled with small projects, beanies, pillows ect. Ive been crocheting on and off for about 3-4 years i think i learned sometime in my early teens around 12-14ish, anywho 18 now and im ready to take it to the next level. My dream project is to make a sun, moon and star granny square blanket. Ive already learned the pattern for the star, i just need to learn the moon and sun. So my question is, what something you guys wish you knew before starting a blanket? Ik it'll take FOREVER which I'm excited for the thought of growing with a long term project is whats been motivating me to start this. But what are some more niche things like blocking techniques, ways to stich the blanket together ect that aren't really thought about until your halfway through the project and realize, damn i really should've thought about this more. Any advice and tips would be much appreciated!

I was looking into MA since i wanted to just give it a chance, but the website specifically said that its not very spiritual and doesn't mention god much in the lessons but when i went to look at the program 12 steps, half of them are very spiritual. Is this the only way to quit? Dont get me wrong if your into spiritually and religion and its helped you thats amazing and im extremely proud of you. Im just not ready for that, and to be completely honest it'll make it harder for me to take the program seriously if they are shoving bible quotes and telling me that god will change me. I dont want to change for anyone but myself. Are they're any programs that have less of spiritual influence that i could use? I dont have solid transportation so i would prefer online options but honestly im willing to try to make anything work rn.

Actually it was majority, the only thing im allowing myself to keep is some cheap shitty edibles that i got recently. When i was first addicted to carts (mainly muha meds) I used cheap shitty carts from online to help me get off the muhas before cold turkey on everything. I'm trying a similar approach now but instead of carts I'm try to get off the flower. I know its not the smartest but ik myself, I've thrown away all my grinders, papers even the weed i put it in a water bottle so even if i go back for it theres nothing i can do, if i wanna smoke ive got to start over completely from scratch. Only thing i can get "high" with is cheap edibles, hopefully it'll lower tolerance enough so that when im ready to ditch the edibles the withdrawal wont be as bad since i smoke anywhere from 2-3 times a day. Im just tired of the lung pain, its not bad to the point where im concerned, but everyday for the past 3 months ive been going to sleep with the image's of me in the Hospital with a tube down my throat. I dont wanna die from lung cancer or other smoking illnesses, I know its probably to late considering ive been smoking daily for 2ish years. But im 18, and i shouldn't live the rest of my life wondering when the next joint is gonna take me out. I think the weed has been really messing with my anxiety which is another reason ive been trying to quit. Anywho sorry for the long rant Idk how long I'll stick with this since this was really impulsive but idk I'm just tired of being stagnant even a day sober would make me feel better like im control again.
