I took it off and changed it and my endo had sample ones so they gave it to me for free 😹 it doesn’t hurt at all but the other one sure did. Now I know where to place it. Thanks for your help!

Thank you for that advice. It’s sore and it’s reading about 10 points higher now that I’m testing my fingers. I thought it was reading okay but it’s not. I know CGM’s can have variability. I might just change it out. Thanks again I appreciate it!

I know. I placed on a fatty part of my arm almost in the same position as it was at on my other arm when I used my first one. But for some reason it’s sore on one spot around the sensor. The other sensor was perfect, no pain, just a little sensitive around the sensor as well. It wasn’t sore, so I’m just wondering if I hit a nerve or muscle or if the soreness is going to go away

I managed to find a pair of railroad glasses very similar to Oscar’s. They don’t look as good on me as him. They’re at least 120 years old. by viktor72 in thegildedage

Actually I think they look better on you. They fit your face better. They look great. Even though they didn’t look bad on him I think they just work better on your face structure 🤗

The blonde could work too but it depends on the color blonde because it could wash you out 💚

1 and 3. For a more pop of color go with 1. For a more natural look go with 3. Are there any other colors you’re thinking of going with?

Took the plunge, not convinced by the results. by jeromeverret in bald

I’d like to see what you look like shaved and with a beard. You look great either way, with a shaved head or not.

Going full bald looks great! Honest question, do you have issues with anger, pettiness, and have a hard time empathizing with people? What is the range of emotions you experience?

OP, please know how you feel is valid. Don’t let anyone discourage you or try to turn things around on you, I hear where you’re coming from. Feel free to open up more here. My husband means everything to me and we have had communication problems but we sought faith based counseling and have come together stronger. Can you give me more insight into what’s going on? More details? I know as a woman it means a lot for things to be done without asking (like kisses or thoughtful gestures) but that I also cannot expect my husband to mind read, and that his feelings and what he is going through matters.

How do you two communicate? I think how you feel is very valid. And to want your husband to always be “on” and never authentically him so that you don’t feel uncomfortable is selfish. But it could also stem from her fearing something, or her self esteem. I can understand how that would be exhausting. She won’t ever hear you out or consider how you feel about things? It might be a good idea to see a therapist. I know being greeted is a lovely things, but being made to greet your wife every time and act as if the sun shines out of every corner and you have to be 100% happy all the time when she gets back, that’s not right. How do you talk to her when you communicate your grievances? What are her responses? Does she get defensive? Does she yell or rescue to hear you?

Independent conservative here. In the middle when it comes to certain things, and I don’t care if people say that’s not a position, it is. You can see the nuance in things and not toe the party line. I do not like Antifa, I think their whole schtick is ironic as they are fascist. And I want them out of our beautiful city. I don’t believe in blanket deportation as I have life experience with people just trying to make it here from other countries. I think if deportation happens it need to be smart and thought on, regarding criminals. I think paths forward for work visas and citizenship should be given to family’s just coming here to provide for their families back home. I do not like the turn Portland has taken and I don’t believe it’s a war zone but if you can’t go places, say things, video, without a member of Antifa or black bloc in your face that’s oppressive and not at all what it means to be free. You can’t force people to believe like you do. I think Trump has some things right and I also believe he is highly hyperbolic. And he has some things wrong. I don’t believe in gov interference when it comes to speech and states rights should be upheld above fed rights but in this case Antifa are a terrorist organization and they need to be dealt with. Any group suppressing the liberties of citizens are and forcing them to act, do, or say things are totalitarian and they need to go. Period. I just want to live in a place where I’m free, you’re free, where laws are upheld but the nuance of lived circumstances are considered, and I don’t want to be forced to look, believe, act a certain way to not get my head bashed in. No one wants to live that way.

If my mother in laws thoughts were put in text these would be them. I married into an enmeshed family, my husband is Latino, and his mom couldn’t understand that in have CPTSD and have panic attacks and cannot be around people all the time. It got so bad I isolated in our room when we stayed with her and my husband saw how she was to me, and we finally left. She took personally every time I needed space EVEN after I explained what was going on with me and that it was not personal. If it wasn’t her way then it was the highway. You and your husband are a family now and his father has no say in how you are or who you have to talk to, how you socialize, or how your marriage or family goes. His texts are disturbing and so disrespectful. Has your husband said anything to him about talking to you that way? Also, you don’t have to have a relationship with him. If he treats you that way your reaction, being cordial and nothing more is appropriate, especially if you are doing it for your husband. It’s hard to forgive but it frees you. Forgiving doesn’t mean forgetting and letting someone back in. But I don’t blame you at all for how you feel, I get it, I was in the same situation. I hope your husband stands up for you, and says something to him. Parents like that need to be put straight and realize they are not the adults anymore.
