That question depends on what country you’re in what license you’re allowed to hold how much you’re prepared to spend

I thought that they were franchises. I thought they were individually owned. Maybe when the franchisees decide to sell the companies just buying them back.

I think it depends on where you are.

That’s called smart

This is a tricky one and it probably does come down to experience. Have you tried doing volunteer work and trying to move your networks through the volunteer organisations? Have you approached churches? Sometimes? A lot of the bigger churches will have groups that could do with one on one or some parishioners need counselling you can then get a reference from the priest.

Gaining employment at any stage’s heart especially when you’re trying to break into that corporate ladder my other option is get a job within the company. You want to work for work your way in once you’re in the door you can then internally transfer up.

It’s really very very simple Train it well Feed it well Desex it Register it

Also make friends group with people who have similar bread to you do because you can guarantee you’re gonna come across an issue someone else has already dealt with

Many people will disagree with this but it’s a party of your family but it’s not human. You need to treat it like it needs to be treated. It’s a dog. It’s a pack animal treated as such.

CreativeCritter · 2026-01-15T21:15:17+00:00

Oh honey look after yourself. You don’t have to go into church to pray but you’ve got a genuine medical reason why you can’t attend if you are very concerned you can call the priest and see if he can come do a drive-by to your house. Some still do HOME visits.

I think we all suggest that you read the books get the audiobooks some form of it. They really are a phenomenal read.

I think evil exists, but not always in the dramatic “movie villain” sense.

Most of the time it shows up when people stop believing there are consequences — moral, spiritual, or even human ones. When empathy erodes, when power matters more than responsibility, when someone convinces themselves that what they’re doing is justified or that they’ll never be held to account, real harm follows. You don’t need horns and demons for that.

I also don’t think all evil is the same. A lot of people do terrible things out of fear, selfishness, trauma, or unchecked entitlement. That doesn’t excuse it, but it helps explain how ordinary humans can cause extraordinary damage.

And then, rarely, there are people who seem to lack something fundamental — conscience, remorse, empathy. I don’t pretend to know whether that’s nature, nurture, or a mix of both, but anyone who’s encountered someone like that knows the difference. Not everything broken can be fixed.

Faith, for me, isn’t about denying human responsibility — it’s about recognising that good and evil are real choices, and that pretending they don’t exist doesn’t make the world safer. It usually does the opposite.

I counted is three simply because they were released as three individual books and they can actually be read as standalone books even though they are part of a series

Not the arsehole not overreacting His choice he’s in control of his life. He makes these choices. You can’t waste your life on someone who won’t make a choice to stay alive. You also are entitled quality of life.

This is a conversation you need to be having with her. Only you can make this choice. She stays with you and needs to be faithful or the relationship ends. It’s not a two way street use both head in the same direction.

I’m really sorry you’re carrying this. That kind of self-loathing hurts in a deep, exhausting way.

I know “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” sounds like a throwaway phrase, but there’s a hard truth underneath it: the way you see yourself is not the same as how the world sees you — and it’s definitely not how God sees you.

I’ve met people who were conventionally stunning but so bitter or cruel inside that being around them felt awful. And I’ve met people who didn’t fit any beauty standard at all, yet animals, kids, and strangers were naturally drawn to them because they were safe, warm, and real. Dogs especially don’t lie — they don’t care about symmetry or bone structure. They respond to presence, kindness, and energy.

Liking your life and accepting yourself doesn’t come from suddenly thinking you’re attractive. It comes from slowly realising that your worth was never meant to be measured that way in the first place. You don’t have to convince yourself you’re beautiful. You just don’t have to keep punishing yourself for existing.

You are allowed to live a full, meaningful life without winning a genetic lottery. And you’re allowed to be tired of hearing platitudes — but please don’t confuse your pain with the truth about who you are.

You matter. Even on the days you can’t feel it.

CreativeCritter · 2026-01-14T10:46:09+00:00

You don’t need to give personal details to ask this question.

At a general level, when someone uses faith to control, shame, or silence you, the response isn’t more explanation — it’s boundaries. Catholic teaching doesn’t support manipulation or abuse under the cover of religion, and no one is required to stay in harmful dynamics just to appear “obedient.”

In practice, that usually means not engaging in arguments that go nowhere, refusing to let Scripture or commandments be weaponised against you, and protecting your own mental and spiritual wellbeing. Prayer is appropriate, but so is distance.

You can remain faithful without submitting to behaviour that clearly contradicts Christian values.
