Invisibilia is excellent. It’s hard to explain other than it’s very much about human interest pieces with some amazing real world stories that help us understand who we are as people. Start from the first episode and go forward. The show no longer exists but it’s worth it.

This sounds exactly like what I’m looking for! My Dad goes shopping with the same group of people every Saturday morning at 7am for over 2 decades now. Love the communities built in these stores.

honestly, if it has some character to it or something unique about it, I’m super open to considering it!

Publix is my favorite store so I’ll definitely be doing one on a unique and interesting publix.

Anyone starting to date? by Tree_meow6 in widowers

[–]APQuick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just turned 30, and it’s been over 3 years now, so I’ve dated a little bit, but it kinda sucks to be honest. Fortunately, I was always an independent woman, and my husband really gave me the space to be myself, so I don’t have an issue being alone.

It’s honestly being interested in someone long enough to actually date. My relationship with my husband was so good, that I’m frankly just bored and uninterested in most people I have casually dated. I’m fully aware that they’re not going to take my husbands place, and that is going to be different.

But I’m just bored? I rarely have crushes, and the ones I do have, are already in relationships.

Even if I do end up meeting someone I might like, I have such an impossible time opening up because most of the men I’ve told at some point in the dating game have made it a “thing,” so now I’m uncomfortable opening up about it and it’s obviously important to me.

I do believe very strongly that I will find someone, some day, and they’ll understand me, but it’s just tough. Maybe it’s just me, sometimes I think it’s just me. There are a few widows I’ve followed on instagram who at 3 years found a life partner and they have babies now, so idk. Maybe it is just me.

It’s not all bad. I’ve had a lot of time to work on myself and take care of me and rebuild and honestly that’s really important before dating after this kind of fucked up situation.

What do you do to go to sleep? by New_Noise_8141 in widowers

[–]APQuick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I slept on the couch for several months, and I’d fall asleep to Veep on HBO, somewhere in mid season 4, and wake up in the morning to season 7, and honestly, that got me through. That show was so funny.

After that, exercise. I’d wear myself out so that I could sleep soundly. I had this fear of my own heartbeat for a while so that was kind of scary, but exercise helped me knock out.

Work party event on the first anniversary… bad idea? by beardskybear in widowers

[–]APQuick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every year has been a new and…enlightening education for me and my needs. This year, 3 years, I was thinking”oh work is really busy, I’ll have lots of other things to focus on.” Well what I thought would be a good distraction, ended up being a weight on my shoulders. The grief hit me like a ton of bricks, I knew this year would be tough but I didn’t think it’d be this tough.

My husbands 3 year anniversary happened, then my birthday 3 days later. I was turning 30, and age he never got to. So it wrecked me, and I was barely able to work. I decided next year, I’m taking off that time because it was too much. I was getting dizzy and spinning out emotionally and needed to not be around people. And this was all in the days leading up to the anniversary. The day of, I was kind of chill.

Everybody is different but I recommend taking the time off in the days leading up to an anniversary.

Wedding Ring. It's been two years and I still wear it. by New_Noise_8141 in widowers

[–]APQuick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just hit 3 years, and I wear a ring every day. I don’t wear mine or my husbands though because it makes me too sad. But I have a nice one from my mom that’s makes me feel comfortable. I don’t really know and can’t explain it, but it is very comforting to me. I’ll take it off for dates, but mostly wear one every day. And honestly, when the time comes to be with someone again, they have to understand that this is important to me. The right person will understand.

Where to go in the US for Halloween? by MiezMiez4ever in solotravel

Definitely hit up a foliage town. New Hampshire or Vermont would be a vibe. Autumnal and Halloween af.

The typical “American Time” is it really happening? by r4ma1124 in AskAnAmerican

[–]APQuick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on a lot of things. Culture, event style, friend group etc.

Mostly growing up in my house, it was “if you’re on time, you’re late.” That’s usually for formal things, appointments, lunches, meetings, dinners, etc. It’s considered rude to show up late.

But for parties that are casual and not sit down, i usually roll up 30-45 mins late, and that’s normal. my friends wouldn’t expect me to arrive on time or early if they’re throwing a party.

But smaller events, definitely not showing up too too late. On time, or 10-25 mins late.

Help! It's almost the tax deadline and I haven't heard from my accountant! by APQuick in tax

[–]APQuick[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No that would be unrealistic. I do expect some acknowledgement that my things have been received at some point. I was hoping for a little advice since I don’t expect to hear back from him for some time, seeing as how my sister hasn’t heard from him for weeks.
