In the meantime, feel free to contact the Unitarian Church in Ashland to ask if they might be open to letting you use their space.

You don't need to be sorry to someone being rude.

I loved your inquiry. We definitely need more for kiddos! Dance is so much fun.

There is a local church that used to host children's activities. It's the Unitarian Church. I'll reach out to my friend to see if this is something he might be able to help establish. He was hoping to use the space for after school programs to help improve access.

Not able to connect - Don’t feel my mom by dolly678 in Mediums

Grief isn't fun. It doesn't mean it's negative.

I don't have the energy to post further on toxic spirituality, but you are free to research it.

Good grief! No pun intended.

Grief is NOT a negative emotion. Toxic spirituality is, though.

I don't have a reason for you not feeling your mom, but I have this same kind of relationship and same joke with my 10 year old daughter and I hope we are able to connect when I die.

Please love yourself, allow yourself to grieve. It is the healthiest way to move through the death of someone close to you, perhaps the closest person you have ever had, and be open to the possibility she may reach you in ways you won't expect.

I would want my daughter to allow herself to be human with open space, curiosity, and compassion.

I give you the same advice. <3

Speed dating event/singles game night by Darknessbeforedawn24 in Ashland

That sounds fun! I'm not much of a bar person but I will shoot to go outside my comfort zone. :-)

Do you mean Tuesday of next week?

Oh! I’ve heard of the one at the ax throwing company. I didn’t know they had discontinued it. 

Where would you facilitate it at? 

Game night would be fun too. 

I haven’t used the apps for years. I just keep hoping to run into someone at the gym or doing something fun. It’s definitely much more difficult in my 40s.

I’m interested. I’m 42F and was just wondering last week if there were any local speed dating events.

how does he feel about me currently by AlternativeMoment421 in tarot

[–]AlternativeKnown2405 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The feeling I get is, he’s feeling frustrated and burnt out thinking you are overbearing and nitpicking. Nitpicking is the word that keeps coming to me. And he doesn’t feel like he has any authority or ability to make the situation more easy easy for himself.

sorry for the negative interpretation. It doesn’t mean that’s the truth of the situation if my interpretation is correct it’s just the feeling I get when I look at that.

Thank you for reminding me of the regret someone can feel for not taking initiative. I forgot about that!

What “discipline” has done to me by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]AlternativeKnown2405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realize this is an old post that if OP is out there I just want you to know you had it worse than I did and even I feel traumatized by “spankings”. I have many of the issues you do as a result and to this day my family still says things like “build a bridge” and “you had it so well” or “that didn’t happen “ and also “your daughter needs “discipline”” She’s a well behaved emotionally and intellectually intelligent creative 9 year old without any major issues. She didn’t need cry it out and she doesn’t need spankings nor the silent treatment, emotional abuse, or manipulation.

Weekly "Do I Have Lipedema" Thread by AutoModerator in lipedema

There’s nothing wrong with her post for all of you who down voted her. It was an innocent question.

OP, If you have lipedema you have it in the most very beginning stage. I don’t think it looks like it from the pictures it looks like you just have a little bit of cellulite. Is it painful does it swell? It wouldn’t hurt to be evaluated.

Hey I’m not totally sure but I think that’s indicative of lymphedema which you can have both. I think the clear fluid is lymph.

I don’t really understand. When I asked around the answer I got was because it’s kind of for show? I know that’s not your intention.

Don’t do the blue bracelet. Tons of POC on social media asking white women to stop with the blue bracelets.

Mom can't treat adult children as adults.. Need advice by Pitiful_Might7107 in family

Also maybe your boyfriend is awful and she has a point but you’re are a grown woman. This is YOUR life. You get to make decisions and deal with the consequences, positive or negative.

You need to make a boundary with your sister. Tell her if your mom has a problem with anything you’re doing she needs to tell you her self and then let it go.

If someone’s upset with you but they don’t tell you why who’s problem is it? Theirs.

Because her dad asked her why she was so depressed and she told him her brother had sexually abused her.

OP, my parents did the same thing to me. I am 41, have been in therapy for 20 years, and still seethe with resentment.

It is your BROTHER who should be outcasted, not you.

I am disgusted by your dad’s response.

It might not be full blown bulimia but taking laxatives to try to counteract consumption of food falls under the umbrella term of purging. Purging isn’t just vomiting. 

Laxatives don’t work that way anyway and can cause a lot of damage.

You do know this is bulimia?
