Nooooooooooooooooooooo! Dr. Phil. Cringey. 
Yay! I just learned all the smart sciency things and stuff by reading. I want one of those gold star stickers now cause I'm winning at life. I'm on a drug called Charlie Sheen. If you try it your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body.
I think it's bed time now.

@Boogie I usually do take the time to sit down with them and go through all that exhausting, annoying, and totally unnecessary insecurity crap, and usually it doesn't even help that much. When it gets too much for me (the less energy I have, the sooner that'll be) I always start to flip out. Just get's me really angry if it's taking too long and I have the time nor energy for it. She'll see in on my face, when it's still all inside. I'll just be standing there getting angrier and angrier, without saying anything, while she's still talking, and then she notices, pauses for a minute like she wants to say something and then I just leave. I usually take either a spliff, a cigarette or a wood cleaver with me, get it all out of my system, after that I'm good, she's pretty good, and her insecurities are still there but bothering her less. But god damn, that shit is exhausting. I'll actually be sighing before she starts crying, and thinking about mushrooms with half a brain, so the half that's listening to her is less bored

Try just listening and thinking about how she feels and occasionally ask if she might feel this way? When you can nail how she feels you can move on to the next part. All they really need is to have their feelings Acknowledged only when that process is complete can she or you possibly proceed to a more rational analysis of the dramas(examine the sillyness) Men have to have their emotional outbursts too except that men can hold them off better and therefor choose the right time and place. When we occasionally get bent out by a silly attachment to the drama of life. In the time we wait for the release think how to break that down into more emotional based communication and edit out some of the more toxic expressions of your thoughts, insults and clearly express what you feel about what and do it with the feeling.
Emotions are like Piss. Men can hold it longer than women but you are going to have to release it somehow and it is best not to pee your pants.

I confess that every time I hear horror stories of other people's relationships it makes me wonder why they even bother. Here's where I tell you how great my partner is and how we don't fight over petty shit. We're there for one another no matter what. She comes first on my list and being happy with one another actually just 'happens' (funny that) After over a decade of being together its more solid than ever. When the right people find one another it makes sense. Oh and Emotions are like piss, hold them in long enough and you either get a raging urinary tract infection or the inability to hold it in later in life. Let the piss out so you don't take the piss out of someone else

imo if you dont fight about petty shit? someones bottling shit up. everyone is a victim to the human experience. id see the lack of issues as an issue.
i like the pee analogy but i prefer not to 'drink' so much emotion that i cant hold it  ive been with my lady for almost 14years. we have been talking heavily about allowing her time to think about what bothers her. she worries about other people so much. she has her whole life. 100% has the 'helps others but gets trampled in return' thing that lots of girls ages 29-35 seem to have. man, our parents generation really fucked us up 
of course i dont know any girls outside my age group well enough to talk about that kind of shit so i guess other age groups have it too. the human experience man. we all share it.

I understand what you guys are saying im not a big emotional guy anyway or sympathetic to certain things ... and me and her will talk about whatever its just certain days i dont wanna hear shit about nothing haha ..
Shes a good chick for the most part i know alot of it comes down to the stress of her job and not really having friends..
I know she gets jealous that i get to stay home all the time but i have all the kids so its really not like im at peace having fun lmao but ill take off on my harley and someometimes be gone most of the day that really pisses her off haha..
But like i tell her it aint nothin to do with your emotions its not my fault you have a shittu job and never are home .. i really need to give her some mushrooms cause its been like 6 months for her since her last trip

I confess that today has been a really bad emotional day for me. I haven't gone out in awhile to large gatherings. I've just been too stressed. So when I went away for the weekend to my friends for a birthday party and stayed overnight it was just too much too soon. I just feel so emotionally exhausted and drained and all kinds of weird and anxious.
I have all these petri dishes I have to tend to and transfer before they turn into a mess and well I'm a bit of a mess. I'm really trying to rally to get them done. I worked so hard putting them together and it would suck to just let them all go to hell. I'd feel like even more shit and it would be pretty hard on me if i did.

It's just living organisms can't always wait for you to feel good before you tend to them. That's the real hard part about this hobby for me. I can talk to people about when I don't feel good and don't get to other important things but not this. I just have to kind of suck it up and do it.

Mushroom work is relaxing to me. I've been up since 7:30 cleaning tubs and jars, cooking grains, pouring plates, knocking shit up. I wish I had more time to devote but Monday is really my only extended amount of time available.

It's relaxing but it also takes a certain state of mind to even start.
I confess I just got reall overcharged for shipping from a sponsor. Was charged 6 bucks for shipping and handling for 6 syringes and tips. 4oz sent first class at commercial shipping rates would be maybe 2.50 at the most 3.00 max with the envelope. For the price I paid it should have been sent priority. Also they don't give you shipping options when you check out so you don't know how your item is being shipped. It does not state in the FAQ whether things get sent first class or priority. Things have always been sent priority from them so I was under the assumption that would be the case this time. I find this practice to be deceptive. I mean an 8 dollar order that ends up costing over 13 bucks. Am I wrong? Also I ordered early Tuesday and received it Today.

It's called shipping and handling you're paying for more than just the shipping cost.
The bubble wrap, tape, time, travel to post office, the box too if it's not a free priority one.
And it's only 6 dollars too

since it only cost about 3 in postage it they try to profit 3bux? sure why not. we need them around, right?

Shove things in an envelope and seal the flap. I know how much mailers cost. I work as a reseller on ebay so I know a lot about shipping and handling. USPS does free pickups. Maybe I should become a shadier seller than and start taking money from people.

I bet that syringe came in a cardboard box not an envelope
I guess I don't expect a successful business to lose money on packaging supplies and time. That's like saying an uber ride should only cost the price of the gas it took

I confess I was talking to my neighbor the other day and to make a long story short I eventually showed him my setup and said "so these are the felonies I'm growing!"

Lmao, they way they've been operating is the opposite, they've been losing tons of VC running routes at a loss so that they can take market share and bust taxi unions.

If you can't trust your friends and neighbors (and if they ain't overlapping categories) I feel sorry for you son.
edit: To be clear, yes it is objectively true that the more people who know, the larger your risk. I am familiar with threat modeling and personal security, I deemed this acceptable.
