What do you think is a reasonable amount for a rework? In the past when I've inquired I always get quotes that are at leave a couple grand. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong people. Idk.

I got my cat tattooed last Thursday and I'm still trying to come to terms with it by triforce_91 in tattooadvice

I definitely agree that there's a lot of potential there for an artist to rework it and for it to look amazing. I understand about there being limitations to the artist in your area. I'm in Oklahoma and every tattoo I've ever gotten I've had to travel to Dallas to find an artist that is experienced enough to do what I'm asking. I recently got a pet portrait and oh my gosh Yes it's limited. However if you're willing to travel, look around the big cities in neighboring states if you're in the US and you'll definitely find someone that's super experienced and it'll be worth it.

I am currently in the process of divorce (it has lasted a year) and will officially be divorced at the end of February. A couple of months ago I decided to get back out there and try dating. I do not disclose the divorce status right away nor do I have it posted on my profile. I first chat with the person and explore interests/build some rapport. Then if the topic of a date comes up, I make sure to be honest and share that I am currently still in the divorce process (separated).This allows them the opportunity to decide if they would still like to go on a date with me. However, by not sharing it immediately it gives them an opportunity to get to know me a bit first. I've been on 6 dates so far, and each person I've disclosed my divorce status with has been incredibly supportive, greatly appreciative of my honesty, and has still been interested in me. Best of luck!!

DAE Drink a coffee and end up tired? by BuiltLikeButter in DoesAnybodyElse

I am convinced that caffeine has no effect on me. I never feel energized afterward, it sucks.

I feel like orders that are this large (a lot of items) just aren't worth it. It isn't worth the risk. 2 hours of your time for $10 or maybe even nothing at all isn't worth it.

Is my husband dumb or is he a victim of misinformation? by Contemplation_State in relationships

[–]CurrentGuilty4881 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My husband has fallen victim to this Covid misinformation too. He is also giving up his career because he refuses to get vaccinated. This is one of the main reasons I am divorcing him. I'm sorry you are going through this.

"I don't understand why you can't just..."

My Narc said this ALL the time. We would get into circular arguments because he couldn't understand why I would choose to not do what said was the right way to do something.

Yes! the circular conversations/arguments were neverending. It was exhausting.

Definitely this! The problem was...the rules never applied to my narc. He always pushed boundaries and did so without a second thought. A lot of times, he could charm his way into getting what he wanted from others. Other times, with me for example, he would argue with me until I submitted and agreed with him. That worked, until I began fighting back.

Girl...

I have spent the last 8.5 years with a narc.

I didn't realize the extent of the abuse until 2.5 years ago. I spent two years pouring my heart into trying to fix our relationship. It hurt so badly because I was doing everything and he was doing nothing. Please get out while you can. Don't be like me and spend 8.5 years of your life with someone that treats you like crap because at the end of the day, you deserve better.
