J cole in the morning lyrics

Recently, my next door neighbour had a nice new fancy air source heat pump installed.
I thought this wouldn’t be an issue, however it’s noise is very loud and has been constantly waking me and my partner up at around 4am every morning
I have done some research into the matter. And it is over 42db and 10db over background noise which are the legal limits for these pumps. It is over the minimum distance from my boundary so I don’t think I can challenge this.
The pump is installed on a common wall of a semi detached property.
What’s slightly concerning is the neighbour said they had this installed 100% free of charge. And the installer is not believed to be MCS 20 approved. I have spoken in person to the neighbour who said the contractor would be back to box the unit in but of course this has not happened.
My questions are what are my option to legally pursue this? Do I have to complain to the council? If so how as this is specific. And could I take civil action?
Any other advice appreciated.
I live in England for info purposes.

For reference - southern AZ townhouse.
A little over a week ago i was seeing a couple American cockroaches running around in my bathrooms at night (they were nymphs and a couple adults). Got exterminated and just started seeing dead ones in the morning. So I caulked EVERYTHING, especially bathroooms, where they were coming from behind the toilet from the drains. I think this eliminated the problem inside (god bless you, caulk) and we’ve been free of them inside for several days (whoohoo!).
However, we now know they are 100% coming from outside in our enclosed backyard. Our apartments pest control sprayed last week outside, but after realizing they are living in our backyard area, they sprayed again yesterday and especially in the corners where we have exposed pipes and holes (-_-) as well as gaps under our apartment. Woke up to 6 dead this morning outside, a few nymphs and a couple small adults. I also found a MASSIVE dead one in one of the holes where the pipes are. I literally screamed, it was the size of my hand.
I’m just happy they aren’t making their way indoors for now, but what can I do outside? Theres nothing back there but those pipes and holes (and I’m in AZ, so it’s all rocks, no grass.) pest control says nothing can be done but spraying monthly.

New to IR. Started using blood glucose monitor (manual) two weeks ago, started Metformin 500 1x daily. Prescribed with breakfast but is easier on my stomach with my larger lunch meal. My blood sugar readings had been 123-125 when I wake up, then 110'ish at lunch time (I'm doing the testing on my own, I don't have a strategy). Today my pre-lunch reading is 82, I feel a little crash-y or low, but not hungry. I had cottage cheese and tomatoes for lunch =20 g protein. I feel like I shouldn't take Metformin as it will further lower my BS. Am I correct? Should I take it later with dinner, assuming I'm higher than 90's?
I'm seeing a pattern of the highest readings being in the mornings and maybe I should be on 500 mg XR, taken at bed time (based on my research in this sub and other subs). Get my waking BS in a more normal range, then see how the rest of my days go. In the last two months I have become very protein forward, and am realizing some artificial sweeteners might be my issue and am now reducing those. I'm glad to see my body responding to Metformin vs. always high BS, just not sure how to manage the response I'm getting.
My doctor will not answer any questions via the phone nor portal, so to get her advice, I have to wait three weeks for an appointment. I don't see my dietitian for another six weeks. I appreciate any advice yall have to share, and recognize everybody's experience is different, just need some other perspectives.
Edited to add: A1C - 5.2, Fasting BG - 115, Fasting insulin - 73, focus on keeping spikes down, also don't want to crash.

Doing something worthwhile with your life is so difficult what’s the point? I’m just tired of bothering I used to be someone my parents could be actually proud of despite our lack of a proper relationship they could at least be happy knowing I was a good kid, always achieved highly type thing but now I’m a complete failure failed getting into medical school the dental school the first time I admit I didn’t prepare so no surprise but the 2nd time I was a product of bad luck and ever since then my luck has been shit I j keep attracting bad things. I became pretty lonely during this time because I cut off most my friends cuz I realised I was only rlly friends with most of them because of the fact I j saw them everyday when I was still in school. I kept in contact with 1 of them on and off but it wasn’t really proper talk just the occasional how u holding up to each other type thing. I made an online friend a little after this and that was probably the only good thing that happened too me and I wasn’t so lonely for a few months and was actually happy but they’ve gone their own issues to deal with so we no longer talk and now I’m just lonely and sad again so I was wrong as the good thing isn’t really a thing anymore so it’s just bad things… I actually went to hang out with my best friend for the first time in months but even then I couldn’t really shake the feeling of loneliness and I wasn’t really present I was kinda just coasting alone the whole time. So on top off messing up my life as of rn and being lonely my family situation is also pretty depressing my sister suffers with depression, bpd self harms and even tried to commit about 2 months ago and my moms bipolar has a lot of mental issues and suffers with small vessels disease which basically means if she doesn’t die of a stroke in the next 5-10 years she’ll have a very high chance of going on to have dementia and seeing them both like just makes me feel worse since I’m the “lucky” one to not have to deal with any conditions like that and I can’t even make their lives easier by actually progressing forward and getting into university despite having perfect grades so I just feel like shit. On top of that I make their lives worse because of their conditions they can sometimes say things when they’re not in the right state off mind that hurt my feelings and I try to just not react cuz Ik it’s not like I can fully blame them but I often can’t help myself to just say horrible things back and it really hurts both their feelings and it makes me feel horrible, I feel like their lives would be better without me in it, and Ik my mom at least sometimes agrees as she’s told me in the past how she knows all I wish to do is kill her and my sister off and how I’m a vile person who just wants to hurt ppl but these were when she was not in a proper state of mind but it still really haunts me, and back to my friend they’re really depressed and so ended our friendship and I can’t just come back to my moms words in the sense I didn’t hurt her but it’s not like I could help she didn’t even thing I could so just dropped me, maybe all I do is make ppls lives acc worse so maybe I should just disappear it’s not like I’m really doing anything atm for myself I don’t have anything going for me anyways, but I am scared of the finality of death and how it would probably be pretty physically painful, but I’m just tired and unbothered anymore

CICO is amazing. As a long time keto devotee, accepting that CICO works was a huge step for me. I was convinced carbs were EVIL. I was getting insanely light headed and greying out during the day. Since starting CICO on the first of this month I haven’t felt that at all. I had pizza and pickle fries at the Alamo Drafthouse last night and felt a little guilty. This morning was my weigh in and I’m still down two pounds this week. I feel like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. Thank you CICO community! Thank you!

There was a story of a young girl trapped in a boys body. Since she was young she knew she was different. She wanted a Cinderella dress instead of the nerf gun she got for her 6th birthday.
Years passed and she tried more and more to be herself but her parents kept her within the box she was born in.
She turned 18 and grabbed a pen and paper, ready to live her own life. She had bought an apartment without telling her parents.
With that paper and pen Samuel wrote his final goodbyes, his suicide note he’s written a hundred times but never published.
Samuel laid it on her pillow and left out the window to her apartment.
Once morning hit her parents called frantically, their son was dead.
Sam never opened the messages or reassured anything.
Her friends called her parents to confirm Samuel is dead.
Her parents wailed and screamed, their child was dead.
And then Samantha shows up knocking on her parents door.
They see their child, dressed in a way they never dare accept, they’ve threatened her for it countless times, to kick her out for wearing mascara.
But none of that mattered, their child was alive. It doesn’t matter what she identifies as it’s their baby. She’s alive and safe and that’s all that mattered.
But she hasn’t come home yet.
This is a fantasy
Her parents want Samantha to show up at their door but no
They killed Sam
Not Samuel.
Parents who were supposed to love and accept their child never truly loved them and so Sam was apart of the 42% and she succeeded.
Sam would still be alive if they loved Samantha all the sa

I noticed that about a dozen times a day someone asks the sub for a tutorial of something or other. I think it would be super useful to have a sister sub that is just makeup tutorials to link people to, and it would be an amazing resource for people who are starting from scratch because they are young or transitioning or grew up in a cult (hi, that's me 😅) as well as sharing techniques between veterans.
Does such a space already exist? And if not, would a few of our dedicated posters be willing to help mod one and get it going strong? I personally really need a reference in one place instead of trying to search through the vastness of internet space when I'm just trying to get ready in the morning.

I made this post on another sub but many have told me to post if here because it got deleted in the other sub.
As the title says….
My parents divorced when I was 12 due to my father having an affair. The two remained in separate homes for a couple of months until their divorce finalised and my father moved back to the states with my now stepmother. The first time I visited him out there I remember feeling very angry and I resented my father a LOT, here he was living the perfect suburban American dream with his new girlfriend and replacement step daughter, whilst my mother cried herself to sleep nearly every day….it sucked!
My fathers and I relationship strained dramatically he was the one to travel to me alone, even those visits were often awkward and tense. As I grew up it became easier ignore the resentment because I saw my father less and often ignored his calls and messages. A few weeks ago my mother and uncle died in a car accident they were my only family, my father came back to be with me for the funerals then a few days after he sat me down & explained that with no other family, I had to move with him to the states. My mother had stated in her will that the house should be sold (it was kinda old) to fund whatever future I desire. I’ve been here for a week now most of my time is spent alone with my uncles dog, with resentment I’ve held down all these years is bubbling up.
I overheard my father vent to my stepmother (SM) about, how regretful he was about the start of their relationship, how he hated how strained we became & how he wished my mother encouraged me more in my to maintain a relationship with him. I busted in after hearing that screaming that everything he was complaining about was his fault along with SM, after a few insults I ended it by wishing he was the one in the car & not my mother & uncle, (I know a shitty move but I was literally blinded by my rage), by then he was in tears as SM held him protectively but the two remained silent allowing my word vomit to spill out. I then stormed off to my room.
I talked to my friend from back home, she knows about the entire situation. She was supportive of me until I told her about the recent incident, she said he was allowed to vent without me screaming at him, that the resentment I feel towards him isn’t healthy (I know) & will always result in me being the AH to him.
Mini update:
After spending the entire day yesterday asleep and the night wide awake, I called my grandparents (my fathers parents) early this morning. The conversation started a little awkward on my part, just like my father I had ignored many of their messages and calls over the years, yet they never gave up on me, always sending gifts for every holiday/birthday, sending hand written letters, even sending congratulatory presents for every milestone or achievement I’ve ever had, they did more as grandparents than my father ever did as a dad.
My grandmother understood my awkwardness but kept encouraging me at every turn. I explained the entire situation to her, how my anger is seemingly effecting my fathers family and how I don’t want to be here as I feel like I’m not truly dealing with my grief and my attention is focused on the anger I have for my father. Surprisingly, she understood completely and agreed with me, apparently she had even suggested to my father that I stay with them instead, but he was adamant on rebuilding our relationship. Which angered me that little more, at my time of grief here he was thinking of it as a way to benefit him…
Anyway after a long and tearful phone call with my grandmother she and my grandfather agreed to come and speak to my father, luckily they only live two hours away from us and they left the house twenty minutes ago.

I step on my scale first thing in the morning, 130. I eat breakfast, 135. Two hours later, 132. Walk around, 134. Eat dinner, 136. Which one am I supposed to believe??
I know it’s just a number but it drives me nuts! Which one do you consider your “real weight”? When do you consider you’ve “reached” a certain weight? Cause I definitely don’t feel like I’ve reached 130 when the scale says 136 🙄

My skin looks flaky, but only when I wear makeup
Hello, I'm a 23F and, just like the title says, my skin gets flaky after I put in makeup. The areas in question are the skin where my nostril meets my cheek, my chin and sometimes the undereyes. My skin is dry, acne prone, but sometimes feels oily. I wash my skin before bed, as washing it in the morning leads to extremely dry, red patches to appear on my skin; I feel like I strip my face way too much if I wash it in the morning also, so I only use water when I wake up.
For skincare I use the La Roche Posay Lipikar cleanser, then the LRP Cicaplast Baume moisturiser; that one actually helped me remedy the patches. Sometimes I put the COSRX snail mucin if my skin is dull and lifeless, and I use the Ziaja Antioxidant Toner with Hylaruonic acid after the Lipikar cleanser.
In order it goes as follows: 0. Oil cleanser (only when I wear makeup) 1. LRP cleanser 2. Ziaja Toner 3. Snail mucin (only when my skin is dull, 1 or 2 times a week) 4. LRP cicaplast.
I'm still on the lookout for an SPF which does not clog my pores and cause acne. Maybe it would also be good to mention that my chin tends to flare up the most, usually due to my cycle(I will get those bad, painful cysts in the chin are right before I get my period)
The nose area is acne-free, I have tried using different primers, tried to make the ingredients match up, the same base ingredients but it does not help. All different kinds of concealer also, foundation I don't use as all of it looks terrible due to the flaking. Sometimes, around my eyes, the makeup literally starts peeling off.
Currently using the Bourjois Primer with vitamins, the red one, it helps a little but not too much.
If anyone who had experience with this could help, it would be appreciated.
I apologise for my English and thanks.

I read A LOT. Mostly sci-fi, fantasy and africanfuturism. I have three distinct modes of reading, depending on my mental health. When I'm at my worst I can't concentrate enough to read anything that I haven't already read before, and it has to be quite easy to follow the story. It still has to be interesting enough to be a diversion from anxiety and depression.
Right now I'm feeling a bit better and am at my second mode of reading. This is where I read new stuff, but still the types of books I read in the former mode. Some of these will be waiting on a shelf, ready when first mode kicks in. I need suggestions on what to read at this point, preferably long series!
Examples of suitable books/authors: Gail Carriger, Sarah J Maas, Elizabeth Moon, Wayfarer series, Trudi Canavan, Martha Wells (Murderbot and Raksura). I do not like Jennifer Armentrout or Holly Black.

Had some free time this morning, and given the lottery emails showed Jewel as having ETL, I thought I’d do some hunting.
Couple phone calls later, I learn some 💎expecting RHF and Stagg, which are non-lottery.
City location one, I visit in person, manager tells me they have them, but need to confirm they’re not lottery - so they ask me to call back later. I call back two hours later and the SAME MANAGER tells me they never got them and I’m wrong that they had them.
City location two: over the phone the manager says they’re expecting them. I hit the store, then they say they changed their mind and are lotterying them. I’m curious, so I call again later and the guy tells me on the phone that they sold them already.
Everything is just so fishy, I think this is my last time trying at Jewel cause I’m getting 🐍 vibes
Also in before the “build a relationship” comments, that is normally my vibe and I have a binnys I frequent, but sometimes it’s fun to chase elsewhere. Anyone else get snaked by jewel lately?

I’ve been doing great on keto. It’s been amazing to be free of hunger and I’ve lost 30lb in two months.
But this week I tried to raise my game by replacing my one spoonful of sugar in my morning coffee with aspartame.
I’ve been starving all week to the point of wanting to cry, it’s wretched. I haven’t given on but I’m miserable. I am wondering if anybody has found this as well? I’ve never taken sweetners before so can’t compare it to anything else. Has anybody else found this!

We've had our husky for about 10 months now. He's had all his shots and every test has come back negative for parasites.
When we first got him he would gobble up anything put in front of him. Eventually, we noticed he would get sick very early in the mornings because we were not spacing out his meals very well. Took him to the vet and we learned about bilious vomiting and it made total sense.
We switched to better food, fed smaller meals throughout the day (I work from home so he gets 4 small meals a day). Everything was going smooth.
Cut to the last few weeks and now he has zero interest in eating. Loves treats but we give him his food and he will pick the chicken out most days and only have a few bites and then skip a few meals and then it results in him puking bile. After he pukes he will want to play and run around like NOTHING happened but still wont eat. I'm able to get him to eat maybe 1 meal a day and he acts like that is good enough but he pukes.
We've taken him back to the vet and he said its just the bile syndrome because he is in perfect health and to just change food again because he's bored with it.
Should this be a concern? or is my dog really just snubbing his nose at the food we give him to the point of puking?
Thanks for any advice. I've had several huskies in my life but never one who turns down a meal.
