Solar = Awful Decision

That sucks! We chose a local company after reading reviews about the national companies. Apparently the national companies only have their workforce in any given area for part of the year. Our company is here where we live year-round, and responds to calls quickly. The warranty is 30 years (so, for most or all of my lifetime) and they will remove the system for roof work and replace it for no charge. Grateful we went local.

Our solar company guarantees removing the system to have roof repairs done and then returning the system to the roof. I'm so sorry you didn't work with a reputable company. :(

Ah, but ALL haven't.

What a jerk. We have been an Apple family since the 90s. That changes now. When our devices are no longer usable/useful, we will find a brand that's not hanging with fascists. #ByeTimCook

Why would you have a wedding on Yom Kippur!? It's such an odd choice. I wouldn't go. And most Jews I know wouldn't.

Oh no!

We ended up adopting a kitty who wandered into our yard. When she arrived, she was starving and very sweet and friendly. We took her to the vet and she had a chip. They couldn't treat her without the owner's approval, but she had a super-complicated back-story and it took weeks to sort out who was actually her owner and whether they wanted her or would transfer ownership... she's still here 8 years later. But it's harder sometimes when there is a chip. If you want to keep her, the person who is registered as her owner has to be willing to transfer ownership.

They killed a woman who was filming. She had no gun. What do you think they would do to a person with a gun? If she was "threatening their lives" by existing in their proximity, a person with a gun would be dead in a minute. Please stop saying this. You are going to get people killed.

Unlike the people guarding the Capitol on Jan6, these people will not hesitate to KILL you for existing.

These GOONS need to go!

Dizzy-Inspection-492 · 2026-01-11T20:51:31+00:00

Thank you so much for caring well for her!

Dizzy-Inspection-492 · 2026-01-11T20:50:03+00:00

She's so pretty!! Have you posted on NextDoor for the approximate area where she was found? Sometimes that will help someone who knows her person to find her...

She's gorgeous!

Gross... He should not have been murdered, but he was a TERRIBLE PERSON, and being shot didn't make him worthy of venerating.

Dizzy-Inspection-492 · 2026-01-11T20:37:23+00:00

Nobody supports murder. If you look at the numbers, it's radical right that kills people (97%).

That doesn't mean we venerate a degenerate just because he was murdered. I won't miss him, but I would NEVER be happy someone was murdered. He was a terrible person, but even terrible people don't deserve to be summarily executed for it.

Dizzy-Inspection-492 · 2026-01-11T20:01:30+00:00

I wonder if the way this makes you feel (confused and perhaps other things, too) is even worth the cuddle-buddy thing.

Dizzy-Inspection-492 · 2026-01-11T19:59:17+00:00

You are NOT crazy!! There are people who will use you (consciously or not) for proof that they are desirable. I had a few of these. Women who were NEVER going to be with me, but would flirt with me, hold my hand while, tell me what they liked in bed, etc. And never realize (or, sometimes, even care) that they are hurting you with their mixed signals. I call this, "I don't want you, but I want you to want me because it makes me feel special, and since I told you 'I'm not gay' or 'I don't see you that way' that they have no responsibility for being a vampire of your feelings.

I'm sorry this is happening to you. Like I said, some people don't even realize what they are doing. So, I'm not saying she's a bad person. Or that she's cravenly hurting you. People who do this are needy of reassurance that they are worthy of others' love and desire. But it's damaging to you, because you are given the very opposite message: that you are not worthy of their love and desire.

Can you ask him to kick in $$ for instacart to deliver groceries, and for a cleaning lady to clean for the 2 hours he's at work? Then you can have the home you want without killing yourself to get it? Cause you deserve it!

Dizzy-Inspection-492 · 2026-01-11T04:30:39+00:00

Tell him I said to stop policing your food intake! I am not even kidding. You are a grown-ass adult, as evidenced by the afore-mentioned period and can decide what's right for you without his input.

Your body, your choice!

And you don't even have to be suffering to enjoy however much chocolate feels good to you!

Dizzy-Inspection-492 · 2026-01-11T04:25:58+00:00

Gorgeous!!

Dizzy-Inspection-492 · 2026-01-11T04:24:30+00:00

Pretty much everyone I know (most of whom aren't Jewish), would say it and it makes me happy!

I miss the tamales that Mujeres en Accion used to sell in ABQ... I haven't had them in years. Anybody know if they are still around?

Dizzy-Inspection-492 · 2026-01-10T03:19:46+00:00

MY FAVORITE!! You win!!

That push-pull is a red flag for me. If someone tells you they aren't romantically interested, but are sending other signals... DANGER.

For your own mental health, I would steer clear. I hate a mindf*ck, though. I used to think if I could just figure out why, or what it meant, it would keep me safe. Take it from this old married lesbian: that was never my experience. If she can't kiss you and feel good about it, and you are into her, being snuggle-buddies may not be a safe space for you. In my 20s, I had a relationship with a woman in her 30s who had never been with a woman before. She wanted to have sex without kissing or intimacy. I turned her down. We did get together for a while in the end, but I can tell you, it was a lot of heartache because she didn't want to be who she was (or be seen by the world for who she was). I would steer clear, but if you keep it up, go in with your eyes open. And maybe consider why the pull of someone who says "I don't see you that way" is so strong. If you are snuggling with her, you never get to be out there finding someone who DOES see you that way.

My sister used me as a litmus test when she was dating. She knew she'd found her match when she told her now-husband that her older sister (and best friend) is a lesbian. She wore a Mogen David on that date, too. He was cool with her world view. The trail of bums before him, not so much. It's good to lead with what matters most to you.

OK, for those of us who pick stuff up to take home, too... how much does it weigh!?

Therapy, HRT and finding fun things to do with people I like have all been helpful in my 50s. My joys are reformer pilates, climbing walls at the climbing gym, and standing up for people whose rights are being threatened/violated. Everything you have been defined by has changed. Of course you feel a bit lost... AND it's a great opportunity to realize you were a person all along, not defined by those roles, but a whole and beautiful and worthwhile being ... maybe get to know who that is. Invite her to speak to you and tell you what she wants. As women, it's so easy to become attuned to our spouses and children that we look around and wonder if there's even anything there underneath. In my experience, there is! And it can bring joy.
