"Only in growth, reform, and change, paradoxically enough, is true security to be found."
-- Anne Morrow Lindbergh
This pain scale is more useful than most because it describes effects. The moderate range is where it starts to impact what people can or want to do. For most people, Level 4 tends to be: "I think I'll just lie here so it doesn't get worse," which is often very prudent.
(The following references are for romantic relationships because local-America doesn't think of other kinds much. The concepts generalize well, though.)
There are various reasons why your friends might dislike your partner. Know how to handle that.
Badmouthing your partner can be tempting, but tends to cause problems, as Vagary is discoverying. In particular, it contributes to a skewed picture of your partner in other people's minds, which is much worse if they don't already know each other. Here are some tips on how to handle it when a friend wants to vent about their partner.
One of the complications of venting is that people may think (accurately or not) that you are in an abusive relationship. Know how to identify an abusive relationship and help a friend who is in one even if they keep going back to the abuser. This is especially an issue for Calliope and Vagary because their relationship is rough, they each complain about it separately, and their friend circles had no overlap until they'd been together for a while. So now that they're starting to get into better balance with each other, they have all that baggage to clear up in their other relationships. Not fun.
A truce is a formal agreement to pause or end hostilities. Learn how to negotiate one.
Read a list of muscle healing foods. Terramagne does a lot more with nutritional healing compared to here. While useful for anyone, it's crucial for soups because some superpowers burn through nutrients at high speed.
Enjoy recipes for Overstuffed Veggie Omelet and Hearty Whole Grain Bread.
Sausages come in many styles. Learn how to make your own Italian sausage.
Jam has surprising benefits. Among the healthiest fruits in the world are raspberries.
Grass-fed butter has better flavor and more nutrients. In summer, it also has a brighter yellow color naturally.
Read about the healthiest juices and enjoy a recipe for Pineapple Orange Banana Smoothie.
Savory oatmeal includes this Sausage and Broccoli Rabe Oatmeal. Grilled Peppers and Onions make a nice side dish.
Yogurt is healthy and it's easy to make with fruit on the bottom. Among the fruits, mamey has plenty of benefits.
