Reply to comment by think_panther in LPT Benedryl and Sleep-eze/Nytol are the exact same thing by Wdl314

Studies show there is no amount of alcohol that is healthy.

Also alcohol interferes with sleep. So it's actually bad to use alcohol as a sleep aid, since it reduces the quality of sleep.

Sleep is completely different than just being unconscious. In some stages of sleep your brain is more active than when you are awake, so taking a depressant which reduces brain activity negatively interferes with sleep.

Reply to LPT request: Moving out of the city for the first time at 18 in a rented apartment, any tips? by GauravxAg

Appreciate the fact that you have parents who are willing and able to help you. Try to gain independence and learn not to rely on them for everything. Keep your place in good order, learn to take care of your own needs and keep your grades up. Realize how incredibly lucky you are to have such great support. Try to solve your own problems before asking for help. So many things can be figured out with a simple google search or YouTube video and you will feel a great sense of satisfaction for having handled an issue on your own.

Reply to LPT Request: How to stop losing earrings from ears by Sugarpeas

Girl me too 😭

It could be fine for months and then in a matter of days all the earrings that I have will fall out and disappear. I have four holes as well and have just embraced the mismatched earrings. I currently have four different Xmas earrings in right now.

I also don’t spend money on any expensive earrings. I will never buy anything with a real stone. The unpredictability of my ears mean I wear some pretty cheap studs at all times. Luckily I don’t have any type of reactions to the costume jewelry.

Not really a way to fix… more of a way to cope.

Here are several things that I think will be helpful:

  1. Find a good place --outside of your home-- to focus on your work
  2. Use amazon fresh delivery, if available
  3. Work out and eat healthy
  4. Find a community with people that support you and whom you can support --low key, churches are a good place to find this community

Reply to LPT: Admitting when you are wrong, directly and succinctly, is not only being a great teammate, but also a great way to determine friend from foe in the workplace. by AdministrativeAct902

So many people can’t simply say “oh you’re right, my bad I misunderstood, thank you for sharing that info” or something similar. I’ll admit I’m wrong in a heartbeat and just move on with life. It makes you human and people more apt to speak openly with you.

Reply to comment by paullove89 in LPT: Learning to know when you are in over your head, don’t know what you to do, ask your team for help, take their advice tactfully so you lead by example, openly share knowledge, and vote on evidence based choices democratically in team meetings is an essential skill for senior positions by Roanhouse

oh word, what industry focus ? Advertising? Public relations? Technical writing?
