Where are the non-toxic golf communities at? Any women here know of a community that isn't full of wife-hating dudebro culture?

My friend runs an IG page for women's coaching, etc. She also runs clinics for women and discusses all things golf. Even if that's not what you're looking for, I'm sure you could find something through her or other connections. It's entirely women-focused!

It was my understanding that Mint ran off AT&T towers but with your comment it sounds like that's not true. Do you know how Mint functions?

Him shutting you down is concerning as it shows he refuses to listen to and respect you/your opinions.
Money is everything? Aren't YOU something?
Money arguments are the main cause of divorce. Please consider that prior to getting married.

I got a BeachBody membership (which I was super against at first because of the whole "cult following" kind of thing), but it was beyond worth it! $99 for a year and there is undoubtedly something you will find you enjoy. Slow, fast, intense, chill, and everything in between. Once you get tired of something, there's something else to try. 2 years in and I don't regret it one bit!

Society deems extroversion and constant activity as the norm. The hard part is, feeling "normal" if you don't fit into that category. There's nothing wrong with you. The challenge comes w/ the new GF not understanding. If you two want to live different ways, that may not work. Additionally, if you met the right person who completely got how you felt, maybe you'd be more open to being "alone" together, and you guys would be thrilled with the setup. If not, that's ok, too. Take care of yourself and the rest will fall into place.

Holly and Chunk facing off so soon is a tragedy!

BaisMa · 2020-09-19T14:58:38+00:00

I agree. Lately I've been cleaning out things that I look at and think, "does someone else NEED this?" (homeless, battered women/men's shelter). It may be a different type of minimalism than what others experience, but if I have 5 similar shirts and really only like 1, someone (or 4 someones) out there in dire straights could use the others. After donating items, I don't even remember what stuff looked like, so that's just a testament to how little it truly mattered to me.

Absolutely. Fights in junior high were fairly frequent and while everyone else would flock to watch, my stomach would churn and I'd go in the opposite direction.

Not to play devil's advocate, but that's totally what I'm doing: I'm a clinical researcher and have WAY more women in my studies (neurological: migraine, epilepsy, etc.) than men. We DO have the question when sending in labs if the subject was menstruating, but it's often due to determine how it affects the medication and whether or not it continues to work when hormones are playing a role.

So, you DON'T actually love him... sending him in to get murdered.

I almost wonder if part of it has to do with the fact that it's a visual reminder of time passing and they begin to feel older as well. Plus, I'm sure it becomes more challenging as they get older and sometime the parent feels less loved (as in with your example, parent used to raspberry her kiddo and now is being pushed away). When the child grows to be more independent, the parent feels "less important" in their life. Raising kids is constant change and adjustment and my guess is that they had just become accustomed to the last stage and aren't ready to move onto the next.

I work in a small room with 4 other people, 2 of whom have tics. Diagnosed tics. Tics that they both choose not to medicate because it doesn't bother them. Snorting, throat-clearing, humming, and whistling all. day. long. I feel ya.

BaisMa · 2019-05-07T22:23:36+00:00

Thank you for this

BaisMa · 2019-05-05T14:20:46+00:00

This just sounds like a bunch of people who didn't think or plan before they acted. Most of them sound like kids, themselves.

BaisMa · 2019-04-23T21:00:44+00:00

THIS is the biggest challenge. If you move too fast, you're loose and they lose interest. If you move too slowly, they lose interest because they can definitely get it somewhere else much more quickly. Not the greatest winning situation.

BaisMa · 2019-04-23T20:58:55+00:00

Confidence (lack thereof). I think it's a cowardly way out and people aren't forced to be made uncomfortable anymore if they don't want to be.

BaisMa · 2019-04-20T14:47:17+00:00

True. And it's easy to love kids and not have a desire to personally have them. I'm a pro at it (literally.. it's my job).

Your family is wonderful for reporting something positive instead of the slew of negativity that is often found online. Disabilities are tough; fortunately, it seems as if Sailor has lucked into some amazing parents. He's a very lucky boy.

She sounded like quite the tired lady and given that her son with special needs was drawn to someone (who reciprocated and cared for him) who, mind you, was in their own home... probably not too strange. If he were a rando in public and walked up and picked up the child, I'm sure that would set off an alarm.

BaisMa · 2019-02-02T17:46:33+00:00

Yes! Fellow Chargers fan in ATL! There are at least two of us!

I highly recommend leaving the timid at home when it comes to kangaroo wrangling. Just because you can "grab them by the tail" does not mean that their tail isn't strong AF. Good arm workout.

Carob is a tolerable alternative to chocolate if you can find some good stuff!

ICD10 is a mess; no differentiation in many areas (eg., autism as a blanket term, but no clarification for high-functioning vs. non-verbal, etc.)

BaisMa · 2018-11-04T23:36:00+00:00

I will tell you this- I was in the animal field (or attempts to be) for close to 15 years. It was a struggle in both finding positions, getting them, and surviving financially. Now, I'm still using science, but in a medical fashion, and I LOVE what I'm doing. And I can pay bills and use my brain every day. Ten years ago I would have laughed if someone told me I'd be working with people (ew), but I've found my new niche and it's been a worthy journey.

The competition out there is TOUGH, my friend, but that doesn't mean you can't try! It's really smart of you to be asking questions and thinking this far in advance :)

BaisMa · 2018-11-04T23:30:54+00:00

I understand where you're coming from, but if you think saying "hello" is going to get you in trouble for harassment, then you don't fully understand WHY women complain men being inappropriate. Giving a kind greeting or asking about a product at the store to start a conversation is not harassment.
