+1 here. Often, my wife makes a large batch of rice and we'll put what we don't use in a container and refrigerate it. Throughout the week, we'll take some out and reheat it to have with dinner. ...

To the original poster: I would try it! You're lucky enough to be able to pinpoint where your fear came from. I wish I had that.

How is everyone coming along with this book? I'm only on Chapter 3 right now, but it seems to be very well-written, and as Mrs. Fox said, it really hits a sweet spot where it's encouraging and...

I made it through college without v*ing, and I lived on campus the entire time. I v*d once when I was 9, and then not again until I was 23. I haven't v*d since then and I'm nearly 32. The only...

"Small triumph" is an oxymoron to me. You're doing a great job staystrong! I think no matter what aspect of emet you've improved on, it's a big deal. I have big problems with the noise of it and...

Great job! Who knows if the fact that you were buzzed helped you out, but don't let that take away any of the "GO ME!" factor.



...and that's why I'm here.

Nice. I actually haven't messed with too many diesels. A few 1.9 liter Volkswagens here and there. My younger days were spent working on lawnmower engines and other small single-cylinder engines. ...

I like smaller turbocharged cars, but I'll take in just about anything that my friends & family decide to bring me, haha. I'm equipped to do basically anything besides paint and collision repair at...

I'm an electronics engineer, but I'm actually an ASE-certified automotive tech as well. Not even necessarily for a fall-back, I just love working on cars even though it has nothing to do with my...

Thank you for your support. Her and I had a long conversation about this whole thing last week. It seems like she's just finding out how much it affects me.

As anyone on this forum knows,...

Have no fear. If it was sewage, you'd probably smell it before you could even tell that the color was different. I live in a house built in 1907 right now, and the last house I lived in was built...

My poor wife ended up v*ing a couple of times this morning around 2am from what she believes was a touch of fp*. Upon arriving at work, her boss said the same exact thing had happened to her, but...

My wife says when she was little, she used to v* sometimes if her parents got into a screaming, door-slamming argument. So I completely believe that kids can v* simply by being upset by something...

That's where I want to get to.

I'm jealous of the people that can pinpoint when/why emet set in! I don't have the slightest idea when it happened for me, or why. It's been as far back as I can remember. I wasn't sick much as a...

April 1990 - December 2004 was my best streak. So far it's been since December 2004.

For years, I've had the mentality that if I have d*, then I won't v*. I know, even seeing it right in front of me on the screen after I typed it, it's totally wrong! But when I'm having one of...

It's usually heart racing, then shaking, then dizziness. I think the latter two are caused by the first one. Once in a while, it will actually turn to n* (maybe the sudden rush of stomach acid from...

The fact that I am at the point in my life where I want children is actually the main reason I joined here. Seeing my close friends with newborns and what they go through isn't helping at all, so...

This is spot on for what I've experienced.

Never, but oh god, so close a few times. Once in school I drank a LOT of Ice 101 (101-proof peppermint schnapps). Not only did I feel completely hung over and nauseous after, but when I went to...

This is a very interesting question because ever since I was a kid, this has been exactly the reasoning that was in my head, whether it makes sense or not. Every single time, if I felt sick and had...

Reasons you fear V*ing

Q1: What is it about V*ing that causes you the greatest distress?

d) The smell/sight/sensation of it (you could also add the sounds people make as well)

Q2: As an...

I walked out into traffic when my friend got crazy drunk and v*d after leaving a bar where his going away party took place. It's amazing to think back that, at that very moment, I would have rather...
