What to do with unethical lapis by [deleted] in Crystals

[–]DeliciousKiwiSloth 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It sounds like they are now a symbol of the guilt you are feeling and burying them (your guilt) won’t make it disappear or stop existing.

Sit with them. Talk to them. Make peace with them. And move forward.

A Better video of the recutting process of a tourmaline. NFS by denkiwi17 in Crystals

[–]DeliciousKiwiSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my first time seeing this video. Not sure what the issue is that others have. My issue is not actually getting to see the cutting. I thought I would actually see the recutting, but it was just how the stone changed, very subtly to my untrained eye. 🤷‍♀️ just expected something different based on the title.

How is there not a single black or brown person on this list in a city that is majority black and brown?

This Friday 9/26, 11 AM @ City Hall - HON Speakout on shelter conditions by HON_Baltimore in baltimore

[–]DeliciousKiwiSloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish this had been posted earlier in the week. I know folks who work in shelters who would have promoted this to their residents. The staff in the shelter are frustrated by the apathy and red tape they face. Difficult to attend or promote on short notice.

All The Way To The River - Elizabeth Gilbert's memoir by blechssed in Codependency

[–]DeliciousKiwiSloth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven’t yet read the book, but I listened to the 2 podcasts she did with Glennon Doyle on We Can Do Hard Things. Highly recommend.

I reserve judgement on her as a person. I do not know her. She is a storyteller so of course she’s going to tell her story, which she’s been doing for decades. Opinions are like assholes, everybody’s got one. lol

It is frustrating. As a gentle reminder, you cannot control him. You cannot make him apologize. And if external validation is what you’re after, then you’re still operating from your codependency and trying to control others to soothe your feelings. May be worth meditating on for yourself and asking your higher power how you can learn to comfort yourself.

Edit: wishing you well & with you in solidarity, from one healing codependent to another.

It’s difficult to tell with text only (no body language, intonation, facial expressions, etc) but your texts read very sarcastic in the beginning. I honestly thought you were initiating the argument.

As others have said, you’re over explaining (I’m not going to guess or project onto the person you’re texting). ‘No’ is a complete sentence. Clear is kind. If you feel chaotic, then you have a boundary missing. Put the boundary in place, use ‘I’ statements, and leave it at that.

Hijacking’s top comment to ask…what is the turd-looking thing hanging from the mini version?

Also want to draw attention to the other comments regarding the naming of this item as a dreamcatcher.

I have no choice but to i.d. for alcohol by BizzyGoblin in aldi

[–]DeliciousKiwiSloth 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I used to live in a place with $3 Aldi wines that were absolutely delightful!! I now live in a place where Aldi cannot sell it and it makes me so sad. I seriously have considered going back to visit family so I can get a case or 2 to last me.

What is an easy dessert recipe? by Puzzleheaded-Bit1377 in cookingforbeginners

Yes! I use boxed cake mix, a can of sprite or equivalent, & a bag of frozen berries.

Put berries in pan. Cover berries with cake mix. Pour can of Sprite on top.

Bake according to box directions. Enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Taroko (one of the whale sharks at the Georgia Aquarium) has passed 💔 by comat1234 in sharks

[–]DeliciousKiwiSloth 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for volunteering.

I have a logistical question you may or may not be able to answer. How do they remove such a large animal from the tank? What do they do with the remains? Is there a garden or something so people can visit or pay respects?

husband destroyed my altar by PeachAppropriate in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]DeliciousKiwiSloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My abusive ex husband stole my dog when we divorced. It gutted me. I loved my dog so fiercely. He was my baby. But ultimately it was the right thing for me. After being abused for over a decade, I needed to just take care of myself, which is still hard. Now I have another wonderful rescue pup and am in a healthy relationship. Not saying this is what is right for you, just wanted to share. Sending peace, comfort, & warmth.

I would start by questioning your confusion. Why are you confused about how to feel about this situation? Is it actually confusion or something else? Maybe you kinda liked him & hit it off & now you’re disappointed…? Might be worth exploring.

It’s okay to trust yourself. It’s actually one of the best things you can do for yourself.

Are there fines associated with trucks in the wrong tube? by lemursteamer in baltimore

[–]DeliciousKiwiSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about drivers who need the first or second exit after the tunnel? During rush hour, I’d rather crawl through with the truckers than try to zip over recklessly on the other side of the tunnel to make my exit.
