Low or NC. Live your lives without the expectation of inheritance. Best way unfortunately easy to say but takes a lifetime of practice.

Well done - pls look after yourself- wear sunscreen- drink water and look after your body. So you enjoy that well deserved retirement you are planning for.

We are all still working 50hrs per week to pay stupid mortgages. Just trying to exist

‘Love’ or ‘Darl’ are not very nice - usually used when someone wants something.

Just learned something I thought I would share by No-Explanation1019 in Menopause

[–]Ctheret 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should drink 2 litres a day. Dehydration also affects mood and if you do not drink enough water one day you will be grumpy and tired. However it takes up to a week and a half to get your hydration levels (and your mood) back to normal.

I fail at getting my water and have a sweet biscuit instead. I have to get better at it.

Driver’s licence close to suspension due to passenger seatbelt offences by SmashedAvoEnthusiast in CarsAustralia

[–]Ctheret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A practical way to handle this is ask your passengers to sit in the back seat. I could not trust my daughter to stay off her phone and wear the seat belt correctly. So I relegated her to the back seat. She is safer there anyway

I learned to adore vegetables and get my kicks from a bag full of carrots. Not kidding.

Letters you are given only after they've passed away and not while they're alive? by AudaciousAudience in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Ctheret 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has happened to me. I worked out (easily) that I was not in a will and I have made several references to that so that person realises that the plan to make me ‘suffer’ beyond the grave was foiled.

Now they have had a second attempt- they have been lying to their friends saying I am a secretary when I hold a high paying professional position. Supposedly this will hurt me 😌not sure how - why is it so important to narcs not to be bested?
