Not Heidi
Not Heidi's JournalI learned a new description last night.
I believe the man who came up with this had been in CBT at some time in his life. This would be some pretty clever reframing.
"I don't say 'I struggle with anxiety' anymore. I say, "My mind sparkles with imaginary danger."
I LMAO'd. Seriously.

Have Fire Stick - How to Watch the Oscars?
I don't know how to get a live show on ABC with my Amazon Fire Stick. I have until 4:00 PM Sunday. Can anyone help?
Thanks.
I'm being scammed and I don't know what to do.
I rec'd an email from a Sue Chez* which begins:
"Greetings,
"I trust this email reaches you in good health. I'm pleased to report that the trade we talked about has been successfully concluded. The essential information can be found in the attached PDF."
I've never talked to anyone about any trade. With trepidation I opened the PDF. It is an invoice ostensibly from Norton Antivirus, stating that by auto debit I am paying $899.99 for subscription renewal.
I've never subscribed to Norton. I called the number on the PDF and got a guy whose first language is not English. First he argued with me, trying to convince me that I did indeed renew my subscription. Once I shut him up about that by insisting several times that I never subscribed to Norton (and I was growing increasingly rude, I confess), he said to go to this site: getmefixed.tech. I googled "getmefixed.tech scam" and this opened scam-detector.com -- which promptly froze.**
I asked the guy his name; it's "Mick Brown." I told him I'd have to call back when my computer stopped freezing (my computer is fine). He gave me his direct line -- and I hope someone else answers.
Friends, please help. What the hell do I do?
* I googled "Sue Chez" and found there are about two dozen businesses called "Chez Sue." What a coincidence, eh?
** This is what it froze on:
"www.scam-detector.com
"Connection is secure
"Proceeding..."
Does such a car cleaning service exist?
My car windows were cracked (dolt) when a rainstorm came in a couple of nights ago. The interior was soaked. I dried off the seats (leather), window frames, center console, dash, etc.
The seats are still damp (? I dried them!). I didn't try to dry the carpets - I couldn't figure out how.
The last two days I've gotten into the car to find all the windows fogged on the inside.
QUESTION:
Is there a service that will come to my house and dry the car's interior thoroughly?
Help.
PS I think the seats won't ever dry, and that scares me.
What the hell happened?
Last Friday (Jan. 26) I was discharged from a partial hospitalization program. I'd been in it for five months. I was there primarily for depression, ADHD, and anxiety. I learned a great deal.
I'd posed the question of discharge to my case manager. He told me that the treatment team had come to the conclusion that it was time for me to go. I can't say I was elated, but I was glad.
This morning, on my fourth day after discharge, I awoke deeply depressed. I crapped out on my guitar lesson, and I'm going to have to force myself out of the house for PT and some medical tests.
Now, I've taken my morning meds, and I hope they'll give me a boost (especially the ADHD drug). I'm going to force myself to action today, and hope I'm able to sustain it.
I'd be grateful for your suggestions.
I am about to throw my phone at the wall.
Yeah, that'll fix it . . .
I had my fingerprint as my security. One day it wouldn't read my fingerprint so it brought up the digits screen for entry of my password. I do not remember my password. Now my phone is locked. I have spent the last four hours online with people on youtube whose teaching is either for a phone that's just a smidgen off of my model (Samsung S23), and I've spent about $50 on the promise of talking to someone who can tell me how to do a factory reset (which, I know, wipes out everything, but there seems to be no other way). Never got to talk to a person - not even to a robot.
If this house weren't a rental, perhaps I *would* throw my phone at the wall. Maybe that would wake it up.
How much is a new g-d phone?
AAAAAAAAUUUUUGHHHHHHH!
PS I blame no one but myself; I could not remember my password. That's n-n-n-no-no-no-no-nobody else's fault but mine . . . .
PPS I am aware that I'm going to lose all my data. Bummed about the pictures, super bummed about what I've written, and furious about the phone numbers. SHIT.
Acoustic Guitarists: How does one . . . ?/Are there drills online for . . . ?
Either I don't know how to search, or there's nothing out there. It's probably the former, because I highly doubt the latter.
How does one strengthen one's fingers and hands for decent bar chords? Mine are sometimes buzzy, but most often have dead strings. I'm sure the best solution is practice, practice, practice, but I don't want to get to Carnegie Hall. I just want to learn how to play good bar chords. Are there strengthening drills or strengthening tools?
As for finger picking, I know there have to be drills and other instructions.
Can you direct me to some help? Help for these two things that are plaguing my attempt to return to the a-couple-of-levels-above-mediocre-player I was, from my current state of fifth-graders-play-better.
Thanks for your help!
PS You may be wondering, "Why do you need so much help?" "How did you lose your ability?"
Injuries to shoulder and hands; other physical afflictions; a years-long depression that robbed me of my love/need for making music. I haven't played but for sporadic noodling for 22 years but I am determined never to lose it again.
Guitarists: do you have a favorite tuning app?
I hope to find one that also has a metronome.
Suggestions? Thanks!
Does anyone know what Meta AI is?
The words popped up in a box in a Facebook PM, then disappeared.
