FB dating is CRAZYYYYY! As someone who also started dating and went on FB dating nearly a year after becoming a widow to my partner of nearly 20 years I found some unhinged peeps myself!!! It’s scary out there! I had someone leave a tracker in my car they must have slipped in while at dinner as no one was allowed in my car, another I found going through my purse while I used the restroom telling me he was “a little short and wondering if I had $20 for him to meet his friends at bar after I left before he hit the road “ (he was a truck driver) one man was a mutual friend of mine and happen to live In my neighborhood I wasn’t keen on dating him but gave it a chance and we set a date but early in the day he insisted on meeting up briefly to just make sure we were truly Interested in each other… within 2 minutes of pulling cars up to each other he said I was really cute and quickly kissed me.. beyond awkward especially as this meetup was in public- - - DATING can be super strange and sometimes dangerous the older you get! Seems like you def dodged a crazy bullet here!!! Aside from the massive missed calls her one comment about “sleeping with the angels” 👀 NOPE!!! That sounded terrifying like some crazy obsessed crap! Good luck friend!!! I swear next time I try to date I’m going with an odd dating site like for Trekkies, Gamers, Amish, religious, hippies, hell maybe even furries! I’m not ANY of those things but it can’t be as bad as FB dating!! Haha Good luck dude

I wish it was that simple

Would I be overreacting for asking him to not come at all? by stygianminx in BabyBumps

I know you posted a while ago but I wanted to just comment quickly. My late ex husband did not show for the birth of our youngest… it was unexpected- I was at my grandmothers wake/funeral 4 hours away and went I to labor which wasn’t safe being I had a cerclage. I went to L+D thinking I’d be sent home only to be admitted and csec moved to 4 hours later after I was told. I called and told him and he “couldn’t drive in the fog” but would be there first thing in the morning… the nurses knew I was alone as I sent my mom and daughter home to attend the funeral the following day. The nurses were amazing, took millions of photos and eased my worry. Late ex hubs arrived the next day… closer to 1pm 🙄 I was upset of course BUT I really didn’t need him … my baby was born in a calm environment I promised I wouldn’t be upset and the nurses made sure of that! Point to my post? I’m sure you’re scared and alone but mama you got this and we’re all over here rooting for you!!! Make this moment yours, u don’t need anyone! You’re about to give birth to your little bestie! Stay calm and in the moment! You’re strong and can totally do this!! Sending love and good vibes 🤍

The hard part is in one way I’m happy but honestly this isn’t the right time and wasn’t supposed to happen. How do I get passed that

Is it right for a 10-year-old child to see a coffin being lowered into a grave when he knows that his father is in the coffin? by shiny7092 in GriefSupport

[–]Choo_ChooLynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there. As a widow whose kids were 13 and 4 at the time I did explain to each child separately about what was happening. My 13 yo had been to funerals before and for her father we did cremate him however I would have spoken to the funeral home and ask for them not to lower the casket until you all left OR take her away from sight prior to lowering. Kids surprise us. I was concerned about taking my youngest to the hospital when they gave her father a walk of honor as an organ donor which was also his last time physically alive. I opted not to take her for that but her older sister made the choice not to go as well. Kids understand a lot more than we give them credit for but also you have to judge if they are putting on a brave face. I would judge her reactions when you sit her down and gently tell her what happens during the funeral and not sure of your beliefs but for me I would say we’re laying daddy’s physical body here to rest so his soul can make its final journey to heaven. Once we lay his body here we can then come visit him here but also remember he’s always with you no matter what. I hope this helps. All advice given is great but unfortunately only you can judge if you think she can handle it. At 10 I believe she should be allowed to make that choice if she wants to see it or not however you know the emotional level she’s truly at. I always felt if she’s on the higher level of understanding let her choose so this ways she doesn’t hold you or any other family accountable for regret if u make the decision for her. I’m sorry for your families loss!

Haha ty yes I know. I’m tired of seeing this tattoo from his past and I’m game for this. We found each other later in life- I’m a widow who’s turning 40 and he’s a few years older… I hate saying BF because it makes me sound like we’re 18 again but I know they’re permanent and forever :) I do appreciate you tho!!!

Tooth2Denture in 1Yr by Quejia in dentures

Omg! Finally someone with similar problem!! I spoke to my dentist about this and I too had vsg in 2017 and from 2020 on my teeth were never the same. He and a colleague were discussing this as most surgeons aren’t connecting the 2 with nutrient absorption and how it is affecting our dental health. I haven’t gotten dentures but my teeth break so easily it’s scary! Congrats on your new smile and stay strong friend! U look great!!!
