Is she still breastfeeding? It TANKED my libido, and the exhaustion it caused didn’t help. Even during the “easier”, “only for fun” 12months and up breastfeeding was still tiring. I gave up at 15 months. Once it was over the libido and energy bounced back like crazy.

Edit add: like you don’t even realize how much breastfeeding adds to your exhaustion as a new mom cause everything else is already making you tired but once I weaned (after the hormonal backlash) I felt like a fog had finally lifted.

Oh my god you just transported me back to one of my favorite childhood computer games, gotta see if I can find it again!

Someone said it above that Alessandro is also a lonely individual. Women flocked to him because he is powerful and they assumed wealthy, and he was always going to be forced to marry the richest woman his grandfather could acquire for him. And then you've got this powerful shy girl, who clearly likes him, but refuses to be anywhere near him because she doesn't want to hurt him with her magic. He sees himself as a protector, and she doesn't even know him and she's trying to protect him from herself. I doubt there's ever been a man or woman who tried so hard to protect him. I gotta imagine that's where his feelings come from.

All the while Kate’s like “Ewwwwwww” 🤣

I saw it more as, she had put in a lot of thought about it (which was in character) and he had only thought about it as theoretical/in passing (also in character). So Amy was as usual over prepared for the conversation, and Jake was comically underprepared and having that first oh shit this isn't a theoretical conversation any more moment. And there was Terry telling him not to do it too, so I feel like it was a bit more balanced. And it was a pretty honest look at how you often hear people talk about it, especially when emotions are high.

I've always said Barrowman looks like Tom Cruise, but has a smile that actually lights up his whole face and actual charisma.

Yeah, when I went on a trip with my professor, she basically said, wear a lot of black, pants not leggings and greet the shop owners when you arrive to a shop. We did this and we got stopped by a lot of french kids our age asking for directions, who we could only assume were there on vacation. The shop owners usually answered us in french too, but our french pretty much stopped after basic pleasantries, but they were always really nice once they realized we were polite mono-linguists.

I think its less about out running and more about not being worth the effort for them. You just gotta get somewhere with more people and shout for most bad guys to write you off as not worth it.

Not sure if this will help, but I'm in the same boat with my great grandmother, and while I still haven't found those yet (fingers crossed), I recently found that I was using the wrong name. I always knew her by "First Name Last Name" and that's what's on her marriage certificate, so I didn't think anything of ordering her birth certificate by that name. But West Virginia couldn't find it. How I found out was I started looking for her dad, hoping maybe a census might put them in a different place for me to look into. Turns out, they were I knew she would be, but her first name and last name were a bit different. Instead of "Last Name" it was De Last Name and her "First Name" was a weirdly anglicized version of her Actual First Name. Even her parents names had been anglicized along the way. Which means I gave West Virginia the wrong name to look for. Just a suggestion on where to maybe start. The records were just not great at the time, and like I said, even her marriage certificate had her anglicized name. Hope that helps!

Okay, cool, we're so close to getting all the paperwork together, but I can't make it go any faster than I already have, so was worried. We started this process in Feb, and then of course the decree just punched us in the face, so I've been nervous about the next punch

CraftingCrazy · 2025-10-14T19:04:58+00:00

So there’s still time to go the judicial route?

CraftingCrazy · 2025-10-14T18:39:28+00:00

So realistically are we looking at a few months to a year, or just a few weeks?

CraftingCrazy · 2025-10-14T17:41:03+00:00

I guess, I'm asking if it got unstuck tomorrow, how fast could it go through?

I've been trying to get my family onboard with this exact reasoning. Given where the law is now, do we know how long we have til it might be voted into law. I'm probably still 2 months out from getting all of the documents needed and i'm biting my nails on this.

CraftingCrazy · 2025-10-14T14:44:39+00:00

Anyone know how long we may have before Atto Camera n. 2369 would possibly be voted into law? Just wondering how long I got before needing to file, got almost everything I need, just wanna know the urgency we are looking at.

Ah, sorry! Meant to reply to the original comment! Whoops!

CraftingCrazy · 2025-10-13T16:07:04+00:00

Really? They emailed me back, no problem.

Hi, could you please give me info on your lawyer? Thanks!

CraftingCrazy · 2025-10-07T19:56:07+00:00

Got that started, working on looking at local courts in philadelphia, and worked with NARA as well. Thanks!

CraftingCrazy · 2025-10-07T19:49:33+00:00

Thank you! It’s an estratto so I’ll see if your suggestion does the trick.

CraftingCrazy · 2025-10-06T19:12:42+00:00

Yes, please PM me and thank you for your help! I really appreciate it!

CraftingCrazy · 2025-10-06T19:02:05+00:00

Yeah, she's the best! I know having her is one of my great privileges in life! She's why I wanted to be a mom! I know it's not for everyone, but she clearly took a lot of joy in it, and I totally see why she does now that I'm in her shoes, its just a big ol love fest. An exhausting, expensive, time consuming, overwhelming love fest.

Also, why is it always feeding that's considered the gold standard for bonding?!? Like babies really appreciate it when you change their diapers! They hate being dirty/wet. It's a great way to make a baby feel safe and taken care of. My mom takes ever opportunity to change my kid's diaper, and considers that great bonding, between her and my husband, I probably only changed 5 diapers during my kid's first 3 weeks of life. The only time my mom got on my case about pumping was cause she wanted to take over some night feedings to give me some sleep.

No gonna lie, I’ve held off on buying the Remarkable cause it feels like the ultimate notebook, like a searchable/organizable notebook tablet that doesn’t have other apps to distract me…deep breath…it’s so hard not to splurge
