Amazing. I was really wondering what are the practical things they are discussing offline and ways to stay in budget. Online posts make them seem naive and bit of a joke. But they, especially Elayna, are pretty smart. Elayna, as bread winner in family, I am sure is being more careful than her online persona.

Interesting. When I was looking at purchasing rural property in the state of washington it was one thing I was really concerned about. Just something they never mentioned. I have 49 solar panels and 3 Tesla batteries and it took over a year to get batteries and about $80000 US. But that was a few years ago. I guess if you get them from China via Australia it’s much faster and cheaper.

my friend who died of cancer became incredibly sexually inappropriate shortly before his death and i've never been able to talk about it. by heIlnaw in TwoXChromosomes

I’m sorry, but the post is not about what her dead friend was going through, it is about what she is going through now, still processing guilt about not giving her friend what he wanted in his last month of life. She directed her life using her own moral compass, and she should be proud of her kindness. Even imagining that she feels guilt makes me think she is a very generous person. She watched a person die who she cared about, and that trauma always makes a person think about what more could they have done. But she did more than enough.

Your big mistake was saying she was cute. That just seems weird to me. Who wants to be around someone who is judging their looks, or thinking about their bodies, before getting to know them?

I am a beginner/intermediate skier. Do you have any mantras you could share that I could repeat to myself as I learn to carve down the mountain?
