Merry Christmas y'all! My sweetheart is coming over (from USA to UK) in 2 days and I have a cold. :(. I have the whole day to recover tomorrow, anybody got any tips? (background info inside)

This is our second visit together. First visit (and meeting) I went to her for 10 days and this time, she's coming to me for 24 days. We have complete privacy from the 27th to the 4th and I want to make the absolute most of it without wasting any days with a stupid (albiet light) cold. I caught the cold on the night of the 22nd. Headaches, fever, body aches and sore throat. On the 23rd I got some of these pills. My fever and body aches had gone but I had gained a stuffy nose. Yesterday, my headaches were gone and I was left with just a sore throat and stuffed up nose. Today I woke up and my ear was blocked. I've had a lot of ear problems before but thankfully I know it isn't due to wax buildup because when I lie down on my side, the ear that's blocked is the one facing down. My symptoms have been on-off all day. Even though it hurts more than yesterday, is this a good sign of it going away? Tonight is my last of those pills which is supposed to cure a flu in 3 days. Tomorrow is my last day to properly recover (at least by Thursday morning anyway). I really need the best advice to get rid of this (relatively light) cold as quickly as I can. It's really hard to not be stressed out but I'm trying the best I can to just relax. I got some more medicine for it for tomorrow fortunately. Definitely mostly need advice on the bloated ears thing as it's the dealbreaker on whether we go back to my house or my family home (I want to go back to my house but there's no spare bed). My girlfriend has actually just gotten over a cold (and a way worse one than I have) which she got on the 19th. She still has a slight stuffy/runny nose though. We really don't want to get sick again and all I want to do is hug and kiss her and the thing is that we planned to sleep in the same bed from Thursday on. Unconventional question for this subreddit but you guys would understand my motivation more than anyone.

Is there a way to classify r/trees as NSFW?

I don't subscribe to r/trees, but it still shows up on my front page. When browsing the front page from time to time at work I accidentally click and r/trees link and get a screen full of pot. I'm not sure why whole subreddit wouln't be NSFW by default (like r/gonewild), but is there a setting that will allow me to get rid of it altogether or tag all posts in the subreddit as NSFW? **edit: Thanks everyone. Brainfart here. Didn't realize I was not actually using the front page, but instead was choosing all.

Stumbled upon my old WoT books. It's been a long time! Totally forget these great stories existed, shame on me. Should I finish the series? Are these things even close to coming to an end?

The last time I read a Wot was in 2003. The book was path of daggers. I got busy with life and stopped reading them. I was very afraid the author would die before he finished and I found out he did. Is the new Author doing the old one justice? I'm ready to start reading again but not sure if I should pick up such an epic beast as this one. Edit: thanks for the input I think I'm gonna pick them up again. However its almost been 10 years so I have a shitload to remember.

Thoughts on Counterpoint, in Atlanta : 9/27-29

Hey folks - As Counterpoint is a newish set-up (and there have been complaints of too many festivals with similar line-ups popping up around regional circuits, rather than larger ones drawing cross-country crowds), does anyone have thoughts on attending this one? I'd like to go, but am about six hours away from the place. Worth it, or should I just wait until next summer's rounds to see if somewhere more local will somehow arrange such goodness? The Line-Up: Big Gigantic, Bassnectar, Beats Antique, Zeds Dead, Lotus, Pretty Lights, MiM0sa,Skrillex, AVICII, Steve Angello, M83, Excision, Laidback Luke, Alesso, Crystal Castles, Big Boi, Ghostland Observatory, Wale, A-Trak, Atmosphere, Toro Y Moi, Washed Out, Feed Me, R3HAB, Zedd, Theophilus London, Reptar, 12th Planet, and others. Is anyone else going? I've heard that it's pretty much Camp Bisco, save for the location. Having already checked that festival off the summer's list, will this be a worthwhile investment?

Recommendations for boarding dogs in NOVA?

Hi guys - I have two pups that I'll need to board next year for about 4 days. I'd like to hear from other pet owners about some of the places in Arlington/Alexandria (preferably, since that's closest to us). I haven't had to board them in the area, and want to do my research early so I'm not scrambling to find a good place at the last minute. I want good experiences, bad experiences, places to avoid, anything that a first-time pet boarder in the area should know about. Thanks guys! Oh, and here's a picture year old lab mix we just rescued a month or so ago.

FIFA 12 Control feels different from Xbox to PC

Whenever I was messing around over at a friends house on FIFA 12 PC with my Xbox controller, shots always went where I aimed them. The play offline and online was very fluid. However, at my house on my Xbox (latest patch), whenever I would shoot in the arena, the shots would always go right to the goalkeeper, and when I changed to manual, any shot that wasn't dead center on my left stick would fly to the corner of the field. Online and even offline play felt very sluggish, and my commands wouldn't register as fast as on the PC. Any reasons as to why this happens?

Letter of Defection + My mom

So, about a year and half ago, I wrote up my letter of defection and was ready to send it off, except I told my mom/she found out(was asking her where I was baptised and she wanted to know why) and she wanted me to promise her that I wouldn´t send it in, until she had died and three days have passed (incase she resurrects). I don´t remember if I actually promised her or not ... I do not that everything she brings it up I just don´t respond. The only reason why I haven´t sent it in yet, is because she´s actually a kind-hearted person, believes in gay marriage and loves reading about other religions. I kinda don´t want to hurt her, but at the same time, she refuses to believe that I don´t believe in her god. I´ve told it to her many times, and she always gives me the "you´re going to hell for that" "that´s the devil talking". (which is better than my dad and grandma who wanted to take me to a priest when I told them I was leaving the church) And I´ve told her that if I were to somehow accept her god back into my life, I´d become Bahá'í, because there´s no way I´m going back to the Catholic church, and she´s perfectly fine with that. And she accepts me being Buddhist, because she believes the two aren´t contradictory (even though Buddhism/Budda is partially why I left the church). It does both me incredibly to know that I´m in the church records, and I know one number isn´t going to make a difference, but it´s still my number and I don´t want to be affiliated with such a homophobic, sexist, etc. church. But ... I wonder if me sending in my letter of defection would bother my mom more than having my name be in the church records. What do you /r/excatholic-ors think of my situation? **Update:** okay, I wrote a long letter today, getting all my thoughts out and trying to be not offensive/kind and level headed about the whole thing and I read it off to her (because if I didn´t, I would´ve forgotten half the things I wanted to say). Basically it outlined my issues with the catholic church (I guess I´ll post it at the end if you´re curious), gay marriage, male only hierarchy, excommunication over abortion and rapist get´s nothing(and vatican supporting the decision), aids being disease from their god, condemning people to hell for everything, etc.--nothing to do with the fact that I don´t believe in their god, because that´s what my mom has the most trouble with. And summarising that my leaving the Catholic church has nothing to do not being in their god or being an atheist, in fact if I still believed in their god, I still would not be comfortable being affiliated with such an institution. Her first response afterwards was "do you believe in God?" Which bothered me, because seven years back, I needed a reference from a church friend who knew me really well, and when I asked her if she would do it for me (I was 16) she said "are you coming back to the church?". Anywho, she didn´t want to drop the subject and tried to convince me that I should believe in her god. Eventually I got us away from the topic of my faith, and in the end, she was comfortable with me sending the letter on a few conditions: * It would have to go to the bishop from the area in which I was baptised. (not our current bishop) * It must have my address in Germany, not my home address * It cannot mention my transition (I´m a transwoman--and the Church has my old boy name in their records, which should be interesting) because she was worried it would be traced back to her and they would excommunicate her. So, progress is progress is win? She´s fine with (and I won´t hurt her by) me defecting. She is worried about it coming back to her though, which I can understand (she taught precaina and is a eucharistic minister, etc).

My dead father, my dog, and a Ouija board....

When I was younger (8th grade I think) I was with some friends messing around on a Ouija board. I asked it some questions about my father whom had passed away violently from anaphalactic shock at my house, which I had still lived in. The questions asked were things no one else could have known and were answered correctly. I was a little weirder out but dismissed it because I don't believe in ghosts. One question I asked was if my father was still at my house and it answered "yes " . So, I went home that night slightly haunted. I shut my door, which never clicked shut, so it could just be pushed to open, and laid down to go to bed. I felt like there was someone in the room. So I said in my head "Dad, if you're in here, blow a cold breeze on my face". Nothing happened. So I thought again "Blow a cold breeze on my face." . Nothing happened. Then my mom's jack Russel terrier came into the room jumped on the bed, licked my feet then licked my face and ran out of the room. He had never done that and has never done it again. Ever since then he has stared at me with a human like stare, very loving and attentive and protective. I still don't believe in ghosts but whenever I think back to what happened that night and find it so bizarre and thought you guys would enjoy... P.s. please forgive typos, I am using a tablet and it is hard to edit and catch auto corrections.

Does engineering in Australia have better work/life balance than America?

So I just graduated, biomedical engineering, and now I'm looking for a job in America, for a medical device company. That's all fine and good, but sometimes I hear horror stories about the work world. 50+ hour work weeks, not much vacation, super stressful jobs, bad bosses, etc etc. Since I'm not actually in industry yet, I don't know first person, and I'm sure it also depends highly on the company and it's work environment. Now I've been to Australia twice, I have family there. I really liked it, Sydney was the first city I actually liked, I'm more of a small town guy. But because of my career, I will most likely have to live near a city, most medical device companies are in cities. Anyway, people say that Australia is more relaxed than America. They certainly seem to have more vacation time. So I have played around with the idea of moving there, later on in my life, maybe in 5 to 10 years once my student loans are finished (so I'll be like 27-32 or something). But the main reason I would want to move, apart from just liking the country, is if things actually are a little more chill in the work environment. If it's not super stressful. I don't mind working, I actually love biomedical engineering, but I do want to have good work/life balance. That's one of the most important things for me, and I suppose I'd be willing to move across the world in search for it. Also another thing I'd like to know about is commute time. My family in Australia seems to spend 2-3 hours everyday commuting to work. That sounds pretty bad to me, since in America it seems like it's more like 30 minutes to and hour per day. So have any of you guys had experience working in both America and Australia? I would love to hear your input. TL;DR - Want to find out about work/life balance in America and Australia for engineering (specifically biomedical engineering)

Can I earn money and travel?

Hi r/travel. I recently finished university and I'm trying to work out what to do with myself. I'd really love to travel, but right now I'm exceptionally poor and may have to get a job for a couple of years. This isn't really what I want to do. I really just want to get travelling as soon as possible, and I'm perfectly willing to work doing anything, so long as I get to go somewhere interesting to do it. So my question is this: how practical is it, with little to no money, to get abroad and work? Furthermore, would I be able to earn enough money to spend some time travelling before locating a job else where? Any suggestions of what kind of jobs I could do, and what organisations I should approach? Thanks a lot!

I'm using size 3 vegetarian capsules, with 10mg of noopept in each capsule (measured with a cheap mg scale). I plan to take 2x10mg a day, one before I go to college and one after I come back from college. Is vitamin powder a good filler? Like vitamin C powder? I've tried sublingual but I can't bear the taste. Does it increase potency though? I've heard it doesn't because of noopept's high bioavailablity however I could be wrong.

Do certain champs give you certain personalities?

So, I'm no psychologist, but in my 6~ months of mostly soloque I think I've noticed certain behaviour patterns from people that play certain champs. For example, a lot of people that play diana are generally total asshats and act like the team's success revolves around them, and any failures are because of someone else. They also like to try to take mid even when I call it before them. For some low-skill champs, such as darius or xin, I generally notice they act like 5 year olds and say things like "noob" and "you suck" (Bitch please, your champion is good, not you) I'm aware those are generally stereotypes, and everyone is different, its just something I've seen pretty often from people that play those champs. Have any of you ever noticed this? And have you noticed any specific behaviour from the players that play other champions?

Heated gear recommendations

I live in NC and I have a pretty long riding season overall. Nothing like the Cali folks but it's a few good months. In the past I have gotten through the cold mostly by sucking it up and just riding. While this worked I realize now, in my older and wiser years, that when I'm focusing on the cold I'm not focusing on the ride and I'm not even enjoying it at as much. That being said I'm thinking about getting some heated gear for the upcoming winter. What brands do you like and why? What do you consider the essentials, or what would you buy first. Gloves? Jacket? Liner? Socks? Pants? This will be my first winter with the Goldwing so I have the heated grips and seat and a nice full fairing out in front of me but I'm hoping that if I play my cards right I'll get to ride almost year round, barring any obscene weather. tldr; Looking to buy heated gear. Which brand and which "components" would you recommend. And why?

Funny/Interesting Taiwanese Phrases

Hi Reddit! Does anyone here speak Taiwanese? I'm writing a funny "Learn Taiwanese" skit/video for my Taiwanese club at school and was wondering if any of you out there know any traditional, classic, funny, or common Taiwanese phrases or words. Unfortunately I only know Mandarin. If you could type the characters but also leave the pronunciation, that would be great! Thanks!

Noise coming out of Audiosource Amp 3

I bought this amp the other day off of craigslist and finally got it connected last night. There was a bit of noise coming out of the speakers when I hooked them up, after twisting the RCA's around, that went away. This morning when I turned the amp back on, I noticed a hum coming out of the amp. Before when it would get turned on there would be the same noise for a couple seconds and then it would go away, but now it stays. Whats wrong with it? Is it anything I can fix or is it a problem with the transformers? **EDIT:** I turned the amp on this morning, no noise. Must have been something on the line like a heater or something, thanks for the help.

Missing man last seen in Akron on Saturday, police say his cell phone pinged in Youngstown and Niles on Sunday Morning. Spread the word to keep a look out for him or his car.

**Edit: Correction! He was pinged in Youngstown and Niles on Saturday morning NOT Sunday.** Here's what we know: * Jorry made two ATM withdrawals on Friday night the 8th, last being close to 2am. Bank security camera footage shows Jorry making both of these withdrawals. * He stopped by Karam's Bar near his house at 2:08am. Security camera footage shows he was alone, and he didn't stay there long. * The phone company has records of his phone pinging in Youngstown at 4:00am and then in Niles at 6:00am Saturday morning. That's the last detail we have. It's obviously important to continue searching the Niles/Youngstown area as well as the Akron area, or anywhere else you may have reason to believe Jorry would go. If you have any information you think may be helpful, please contact Akron Police Department, his father Steven at (330) 550-2456, or girlfriend Dzanela (330) 510-7519. If you would like to help, here's what we need: * Drive around and look for his car in parking lots. * Call area hospitals and hotels, anywhere you may think he could be.

I found my "Dream Guy" in the flesh... what do I do....? :(

Well... I've recently found my dream guy in the flesh. He's absolutely perfect (to me). He has his own opinions, but isn't afraid to listen to yours. He's not severely sensitive... and He's VERY intelligent... He has these big Blue eyes. I found him on a popular social networking site (Not Facebook). So all I could do at first was look at his picture, and then send a friend request. His eyes are probably what drew me in first. Then I looked at his profile. We have a ton of stuff in common, but we're also opposites on a few things. We've met, and hung out... He's a great guy. But he's also my dream guy... What do you do when you find your dream guy/girl? do you tell them flat out, "Hey, you're the guy I see myself with!" or do you be patient and see what happens? Advice would be most appreciative.

Appointment tomorrow for Implanon - advice. VERY scared.

This is a throw away, just to get that out there. I'm a 20 year old female with too hectic of a life to keep track of something like the pill. Too risky to skip or be late - not gonna work. I have a body that is sensitive to chemicals and hormones. The NuvaRing made me want to kill myself within the first two days. Worst experience ever. I was on Desogen for 6 or so years without any problems. Now I'm looking at the Implanon because it has no estrogen. I would love the IUD, but the activities I like to do during sex would not work out with it. Anyone have experience with the Implanon? My other issue is I have a SERIOUS fear of needles. Just the word in itself makes me turn pale and makes me have a panic attack. This thing is the size of a friggin straw and I have no tolerance for pain whatsoever. So.. uh... yeah. Any experiences? Good ones? Bad ones? Weight gain? Acne? Depression? Pain? ..Everything?

[Discussion] At 2AM I had to pry my snakes apart to stop them from killing each other....help cheer me up?

When I was 16 I got my first pet that was all my own, Nenya]( (she is a silly girl). A few years later a friend had another snake to get rid of so I took him in and named him Kirby. For 5 years they lived together in one cage [happily]( they even [laid eggs together. Just recently I was told that snakes can sometimes eat one another if housed together, so I've been considering finding a new home for one of them or getting a second cage, but before I could do either of those things something happened to make them attack one another. I think what probably happened is one got startled, attacked the other, and the other retaliated to protect itself. But at 2AM, just before I was going to head to sleep, it kind of freaked me the heck out! So now I'm considering finding new homes for both of them, especially because right now one of them is in the cage and the other is in a cat carrier... So, tell me something happy to make me feel warm and fuzzy?

Hey reddit, I go to a school that is in the top 10 in the nation for basketball, but still struggles with attendance for games. What are a few suggestions you have to up fan turnout?

Potential reasons for lack of attendance are as follows: -Transportation difficulties (you have to take the metro to games, which costs a little money/is inconvienent) -Lack of excitement about the team on campus (for a top 10 team we have a shocking lack of buzz) -Boredom at Games: this one can be split into a few sidenotes -Boring style of play -Inability to coordinate cheers across 2 sides of a stadium -Lack of good cheers (We have cheersheets but they are not great and typically ignored) Please don't just say "Cheer Better!" I would love to hear advice about what kinds of cheers work better than others, and ways outside of the game to build excitement I haven't said the name of the school yet...If you think its relevant please let me know and I will supply it And thank you guys!

Hey everyone, my older brother is morbidly obese and Im not sure the best way to approach conversation that I NEED to have with him. Does anyone have any helpful advice?

My brother is 25, he is around 5'9-5'10 and 290-310 lbs. My dad and I are super concerned about this due to the health problems that can come along with being this overweight. Every time in the past that we have brought it up he says "he has it under control" and moves to end the conversation swiftly. My dad and I dont want to grill him on it at that point and ruin the good time we are having. We are concerned that if that is what we bring up when we are around him then he will take it negatively and alienate himself from wanting to spend time with us. However, I know we cannot sit by and allow him to get any bigger without stepping in. I need some advice on how to bring this up to him, have him understand where we are coming from, and hopefully get him on the track to being healthy. Advice on where, when, and how to bring this up will greatly be appreciated. PLEASE HELP

Did a little checking with Backstabs and Riposte, with the Rapier and Bandit's Dagger at +15

This is for the ones who think the bandit's is the best Riposte/Backstab weapon. It is not for Ripostes for the Dexterity type builds. I did a little testing when I searched some on the riposte type weapons, and apparently I came to notice and see, the Rapier has hidden Critical stat bonuses. * Rapier's +14 1303 - riposte 984 - BS * Rapier's +15 1372 - Riposte 1033 - BS * Bandit's +15 1301 - riposte 1041 - BS 1745 - riposte - DMB +3 Bandit's--- 1816 - riposte - DMB +3 Rapier's These are what I ended up hitting, on the Black Knights, at the Kiln. The Bandit's has a higher BS, but only by a hair. The Rapier has a much higher hit for riposting. My STR is 20, and Dexterity is 40. These are only at +15, no elemental. The hits above the DMB are unenchanted, WITH my Hornet's Ring.. Hopefully some others find this useful, when it comes to Riposting the enemy. I'm sure some larger, slower, weapons have higher damages, but them are scaling off STR for the most part I believe. The Rapier has good base damage, and you can have a little distance with it, compared to the Bandit's, with no distance, and no front damage. The downside also is that the Rapier cannot make them bleed. Some might want that advantage, but I never find myself flailing crazy with any weapon, so it's a plus for me. I'm sorry if the formatting is bad, but I may edit it more at some other time, and it's very late here. EDIT: I forgot to mention, my Faith is at 50, the absolute optimum, for the Darkmoon Talisman Magic Adjust.

Hey /r/BreakingBad, guess who I just got off the phone with? Edify and Luis Moncada.

So yeah I messaged Edify on IRC like two nights ago asking him "hey how excited for The Event should I be" and he got back to me the next day and we chatted for a bit. Then he says "wanna talk to Luis Moncada on the phone?", at first I wasn't so sure but he kept pressing and roped me in. And I'm glad he did, it was a short phone call but fun, both Edify and Luis are really chill, told Luis I really enjoyed the work he and his brother did (He mentioned he was rewatching Season 3 like last week and was still a bit flabbergasted by their performance) and I asked him about his eye tattoos and whether he was planning on getting those removed and he talked about how much tattoo removal hurts. So yeah, mad thanks to Edify for being really chill and setting that up and to Luis for being really chill as well and taking time out of his day to have a chat with a fan. Also I've got a feeling The Event is gonna be a lot of fun.

Do you believe that albums intended for a mainstream audience are denied critical acclaim?

General consensus I get is that major record labels correlate success with profit. Because of this I find that many music critics consider these albums disposible and adapt their critique into favouring criticism over praise. What are your thoughts on this? Granted a lot of these releases aren't particularly innovative; but surely they can't all be terrible? edit:: I guess I should elaborate into why I'm asking this. I'm particularly fond of albums of the independent persuasion, as are my friends, and every now and then an album from a major record label comes along which I think is genuinely great. However I have a hard time winning people over with my opinions. For example I think Sam's Town by The Killers in a spectacular album. Yet the very mention of it infront of my friends just entices comments about how unoriginal the lyrics are and how bland the instrumentation is (and then you find out they've never listened to the album! But that's for another thread). To me it seems that accepting an album like this threatens their "artistic credentials"; I've seen it recently with Mumford & Sons.

I need help understanding the mechanics to make a Savage Rush Zerker

I'm doing a duo with a friend who is playing a Construction Engineer, and I'd really like to do a Berserker based entirely around Savage Rush. My problem is that I'm having trouble determining what affects attack power and what debuffs will stack. I hear Shred Armor does not proc on Rush. I've also heard that Savage Rush has fixed damage, so it does not matter if you focus on Strength or Focus. Is this true? Does Cold Steel Mastery affect Savage Rush? Finally, will a Savage Rush build survive in Elite? I plan on getting Raze for single targets, Wolf Shade to help with DPS and healing, and then Battle Rage to do more damage and keep myself alive while charging into groups of enemies. Will things hit hard enough that I need to avoid all melee and stick to Tundra? It seems most HCE builds I see focus heavily on Northern Rage or Frost Breath for this reason. Thanks for any input!

More about Dwight saga, Lin and the Media...

I'll try to make this as short as possible. I've thrown out the question before concerning Dwight, but I'll try to put it all in the mix here to elucidate my concerns, because I'm quite curious. First, what has Dwight Howard *outwardly and officially said for himself*....that has made the average fan outraged at him People are now flocking to J. Lin's side, because they can see that the Media is trying to character assassinate him... The media and owners are obviously in cahoots, and the players are just pawns in a larger game of media marketing and money schemes... So, why is it that Dwight isn't getting the same respect that Lin is? Am I missing some substantiated things that Howard has said and done that are completely awful from a basketball/ business etc. standpoint? From what I've seen and heard from both of them first hand - they both seem like terrific icons of basketball... hard working, great personalities... So my question seems to be more of an open ended idea of what is the relationship between the media, owners and players and most specifically - Why does it seem that Howard is getting a raw deal and now they media is trying to bash Lin too? ... *I don't watch ESPN and the games I do watch are on at a bar...

A good liquor to give as a gift to Korean in-laws?

Dearest /r/korea, I'll be taking a trip with my wife, her brother, and his Korean wife to Korea in October, and since we're staying with my brother-in-law's wife's parents, (I'm dubbing them my in-law-in-law's.) I feel the need to get a good gift. One suggestion I've had was a nice bottle of liquor for the Father - preferably something expensive and hard to get in Korea. Any ideas? Any thoughts on something for the mother? They live in a suburb of Seoul, and are pretty well-off, so something that's exclusive would be better than something that is simply expensive. My price range is around $100 each, I've got a couple weeks to get ahold of it, and I live in a major metropolitan area, so there's a wide range of retailers to get stuff from. Do I need to worry about said gift getting confiscated by customs?

I heard you get infinite free beer samples or something... sounds great, even though I'm not even a huge fan of steamwhisle

Newlyweds with money issues and my husband wants to sell a possession to buy more "fun" stuff

We're pretty much newlyweds, about 6.5 months in. He came from a very comfortable background (for the most part) whereas my family always had money issues growing up. Now we're married and are making our own money, just enough to cover bills and have a little extra money. Rent is due tomorrow (obviously, being Oct 1st) and we're very tight on money. We have absolutely no savings because of a couple months of unemployment. We have about $100 to last us the week, which is doable as we have groceries and probably enough gas. Husband decides to put his guitar up on Craigslist. I ask, if he does sell it, can he use half of it to do what he wants with and the other half for us to live on (or put in savings). He automatically decides that because of that he's not going to put it for sale. We've had fights about this in the past. He thinks that because I never use the item, it's **his** and not *ours*, so he's entitled to spend the money the way he wants. I see it the other way. He'll either concede angrily or, like today, take it off the market. I wouldn't be surprised if he still sold it and just spent the money how he wanted anyways, but he hasn't yet as we just had the discussion. I always feel hurt that he selfishly claims singular ownership of these items. I especially feel hurt since we could put the money away in savings to build a future rather than he spend it on another guitar, a tablet, or other things that aren't necessities. He's always been like this with items, too. If I'm using his phone to pick a song in the car and he wants to pick the music instead, he'll say "Give me **my** phone!" over and over again, putting the emphasis where I placed it. He claims singular ownership to a few items in the apartment, and I didn't come into this marriage with many items of my own because I came from lesser money than he. I just don't know how to make it clear to him that I feel hurt when he does that. I try to tell him and he just says again how they're his items and if he wants to sell them, the money coming out of it he can do with what he wants. Is he right? Because if that's the case, I basically came into this marriage with clothes and a couple kitchen appliances. TL;DR: Husband claims singular ownership over items. He will sell one and claim that he gets to spend the money how he wants because the item was his to begin with. Or that I never used the item so I don't get a say in how the profits are spent. This money is never saved. **EDIT: Thanks for the advice. I've let this one go and realized that my husband needs his own personal space and personal items and I'm letting him have them. I don't comprehend the need for this, but I realize that I'm not always going to understand what my husband is thinking. I do understand that this desire is not irrational and doesn't hurt us in any way.**

How does adrenal insufficiency cause metabolic acidosis (i.e. lower bicarb)?

I can see how lack of aldosterone could cause acidosis by decreasing secretion of H+, but I don't see where low bicarb comes into the picture. I checked FA and could not find an adequate explanation in either the renal or endocrine sections.
