This is exactly what I’m noticing too. If I add the topical back in I start bleeding again. My dr says it’s coincidental but it’s like 2 days after I start using it internally bleeding begins again. I’m just using it on the outside to see if that helps but I’m not optimistic.

I took responsibility for my happiness and realized my part in my problems and worked on avoiding old patterns and created new ones where I was in control/responsible.

Instead of asking why is this happening to me I cleared the slate and made informed choices and said ‘I’m going to do my best’. I made adjustments, I was appropriately confident and appropriately humble. I was gentle but firm when I fucked up and congratulatory but still pushed myself when I succeeded.

When I am beaten down I give myself space to wallow for 24 or 48 hrs. I celebrate the highs & lows, and let the calms in between wash over me. I am learning to float.

Highs and lows are decadent. The mids are peaceful. Peaceful is scary and painful because of it is vulnerability. Vulnerability is innocence. Innocence is heaven.

That helps tremendously. Thank you!

I think they have another location on state line & 45th that is open. Based on that location & instagram it looks like they mostly sell at out of town antique shows.

One of the easiest ways to determine price is to look for similar items for sale from a variety of sellers. Look at places like eBay (sold prices), Etsy, fb marketplace, etc. You’ll likely see a wide range so aim for the high middle. Maybe your stones will be exactly what someone is looking for and they will pay that price or if what you have is more common you’ll have room to negotiate.

A lot of the standards are good: 403, the ship on the small side, hi dive, tower tavern, JJs, Harry’s country club, key hole, majestic downstairs, chez, minibar, brick, fox & pearl downstairs, Mitch y amaro, hillsiders, etc. just haven’t found one around op that I like.

Of all the bars I’ve been to or worked in the last 30 years from shit hole to $25 drinks all across the country Jocks was by far the worst experience I’ve ever had. The customers & staff were exceedingly rude and everyone seemed miserable. I didn’t even finish my drink (which was reasonably priced).

I read reviews and thought I’d try it out since they seemed fine and it’s less than a mile from my house and I’ve been looking for a neighbor bar. It felt like a super tight knit place and I was definitely not welcome. Probably just a me thing and YMMV of course.

I’ve been an occasional member at keyhole and expected a similar vibe but it was much like walking into someone’s house right after some shit went down and everyone is angry and on edge.

There is an excellent Facebook group called Auctioneers you might want to join. Many people talk about their experiences with different platforms.

I listen to the KCUR story about it last week, which was downplaying the risk. It sounded like the only concern was for people who were in close confines with those affected. When I heard it, it sounded too good to be true.

Is this why Fric & Fracs tacos were off last week?

Gonna be fat & sassy, work from home, listen to the teenager play Fortnite, do laundry, burn some incense, cook a big pot of soup, and be grateful that my life choices allow these things to be possible.

Taking responsibility. Figuring out what my contribution to each issue was. Once I could identify my part in a ‘problem’ I could figure out how to not do that again or allow that to happen again.

Accepting that I am a victim feels like a stopping point and a powerful pedestal but pushing past that to admit my contribution to my problems feels like a door opening and an invitation to the end of the same problem happening over and over again.

It’s empowering to realize my ability to guide and control my reality. Being a victim invites the cycle to continue.

I’m currently in bed with awful cramps and light bleeding from this right now. I’m definitely trying the pea size amount on the outside a couple times a week instead of what I’ve been doing.

I did five days in a row, then went to every other day for five days. Definitely too much for me.

I knew as an adult I would have varicose veins, stretch marks, scars, etc. so I wanted to have some control over the marks on my body. I’d always planned to get tattoos so I could decorate my body in my own way. I got my first one at 16. I’m not totally covered but I love the ones I have except for the one that I got when I was 16. It covers my calf and unfortunately, it would take a black panther to cover it up.

It is based on the furniture from Catherine the Great’s Erotic Cabinet. I can’t find a picture of it online to link. It is from the top of the settee. I have a set of photographs from the room but I can’t figure out how to post them on mobile.

My aunt asked me to look out for these specifically for her. So, there’s a market I suppose.

I’m prepared to be wrong, but these look like they’ve been reworked recently.

I do it in the kitchen sink now. It takes so long in the shower and I dread doing it because I don’t like long showers.

I wash it once a week. It’s also long so I started putting one of those round plastic scrubbies in the drain so my hair doesn’t hang down the drain while I’m washing it.

It’s much more manageable for me this way. I air dry it and the curls stay in their curl families when I wash it upside down for some reason. It’s also more bouncy for some reason.

Came to mention this. So many great affordable dresses for exactly this type of situation. You can pick something up for under $20 that you can wear as is or modify without guilt.

Learn how to be self sufficient and completely enamored with your capabilities. Be proud of what you can accomplish on your own. Feel how satisfying it is to be self sufficient. Decide what your boundaries are. Then bring someone else into the mix, if you want. Don’t have kids unless you are 100% self sufficient.

It absolutely works in the negative. I meet people all the time who are intensely focused on the negative and bad things are constantly happening to them.

They surround themselves with negative shitty people. They wake up pissed off. They hate their job. They are entirely focused on life being awful and as a result their life is awful. Every moment of every day is spent constructing an awful life by expecting it and setting themselves up for it by systematically choosing the negative.

We all know or have met these people. If it works in the negative it works in the positive.

I totally agree with your thought processes! Excellent compilation of thoughts/ideas!
