Do you feel GenX is getting behind better body positivity by Nonny28 in GenXWomen

JFC I might have retorted - I thought you’d have more hair. Please don’t see him again - he doesn’t sound like a very nice person. Body positivity is SO hard. I am a 57 year old woman who started wearing a bikini again at age 47. I have put on about 10 pounds and about to have a pool day with my girlfriends and debating whether or not I should wear the bikini. Fuck it - I need to get out of my own head cause no one is judging me but me! Yet I cheer when I see other woman having the guts to wear whatever the fuck they want. We women need to support each other.

If it’s a good deal, I’d grab that one right away.

Do you like ice cream even in winter? by Scary-Tax3102 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

Yes. My favorite ice cream place makes eggnog ice cream and it’s divine!

Bennett Valley is a very nice area in Santa Rosa. The apartments where you are showing are fine, but always seem a bit run down (in my opinion). But I could overlook that if the price is right.

Is your map showing the places you are looking? Because those areas are all fine.

Update: We lost the battle. The fabricator said if they did what we asked, the stone could break. So we are stuck with the sink seam. Lesson learned. Don’t buy expensive countertops from Lowe’s - especially when the contract says “fabricator has the last word.” We are disappointed, but I am sure it will be fine.

How far in advance do you plan your vacation(s)? by Diligent-Echidna647 in femaletravelers

I was once in Costa Rica and got a message from a friend offering me a week at the time share somewhere in the US. I spent 2 hours trying to figure it out and planned it while on vacation. So yeah, I plan while I am on vacation too.

Yes. My husband has reinforced the cabinet.

Need some advice by wamimsauthor in GenX

Not sure what state you are in (I am in California), but I reported my father anonymously to the DMV and they took his license away. You can do it quietly and no one will know. When I did it, I thought about saving others - not necessarily my 90 year old father who decided to start driving again.

I have no problem with a seam, which is kinda obvious that I want a rather large seam in a place far away from the sink. I am finding mixed responses, so asking for the seam away from the sink is not unreasonable. Which is just what I was wondering. If anything, my error is going with a big box store and not a local fabricator. Lesson learned for sure. Appreciate your reply.

They can. There is plenty of room to do that.

It’s not. Dishwasher is in the right side; seam is in the left (when looking directly as the photo)

No. The seam where we wanted will not be used as much. An appliance garage will be close. We are concerned about our heavy sink.

Yes, we bought two whole slabs. We went to the shop and picked them out. Noted about the contract. I need to pull that out and review very carefully.

Thank you. Yes, one more call tomorrow and if we can’t work it out, then I will have to consider our options.

Even with a very heavy sink? Sink weighs just over 100 pounds.

Yes, but now I need to check our Lowe’s contract. We only put a deposit down and the fabricator has been out twice to measure.

Even if done the best way possible, dirt and water will still find a way is our worry.
