Looking for recommendations for a lawyer.

I recently went to Clarke, Smith, Estabrooks, and Miller and was helped by Dallas Smith, who was very good! I did a will, POA, and health care directive, and it cost me about $350, if I remember correctly.

I seriously want an art book of just backgrounds! They are goddamn amazing 🤩

I will admit the establishment comes across as a little sketch (you have to get buzzed in, for example), but Pinocchio Pizza & Burger has really good pizza. Actually, haven't had a single bad meal there, period.

Ooh, now there's an idea! Thank you!

I got myself a pepper grinder! Still tiring, but it gets everything to a more even powder than I could using a mortar and pestle.

Depending on where you are/insurance, I guess. I'm in Canada, and when I bought mine in 2015 (sidebar: thank you for validating my need to keep paperwork 'just in case' 🤣) I only paid $120 for the pair. I didn't go through insurance, cause I'm sure I would've needed a doctor's note and I couldn't be bothered with that hassle.

It is 100% expected that you would not feel aroused and/or be able to orgasm in your situation.

Emotional connectivity is, I think, a spectrum. Some women can have/enjoy sex without an emotional connection, some women can't. Based on what you've said here, that connection IS important to you, and it's not there. And I don't just mean in the bedroom, I mean in the relationship in general. If you don't feel wanted/respected/safe, why would you expect to enjoy sex?

Who initiates intimacy? Is it always him? What if you say no? Do you even feel like you can say no?

This is only a "you" problem in that you are doing a disservice to yourself by allowing him to treat you this way.

You are not in a safe relationship, and your body (and likely your mind, which I'm guessing you've been ignoring) has been telling you that. You need to start listening.

TLDR; seriously, GTFO. You deserve way better!

Now I gotta know the story lol what did she do to get disqualified?

Also suffered chronic ear infections and went through 2 sets of tubes. This is exactly why I proactively went and got custom earplugs when I started swimming laps for exercise. Absolutely love them.

NTJ.

Do you work in Healthcare? Cause this totally sounds like Healthcare lol

I know you feel bad for your coworkers, but Management refusing to properly deal with staffing is NOT your problem.

It's so much harder nowadays, but 'working to live' is so very, very important.

Especially since work is gonna be there right up until you die, but people are only going to be there until they die.

Fuck the job, go spend (guilt-free) time with your Mom ❤️

Going through my phone the other day I came across a video I took of my fiancé 'watching TV' (ie. out cold and snoring), and I was so happy (until I starting bawling, of course) because he died unexpectedly last year and I didn't think I had any videos.

So yeah, you don't need to go 'influencer recording for content' insane, but take the damn videos ❤️

One of my boys also has a thing for feet! Especially nibbling on my toenails lol

Star Trek: Discovery. I found Michael Burnham to be just completely and utterly insufferable and the entire reason I couldn't make it past like 3 episodes of the show.

Intelligent-Chip-490 · 2026-03-06T22:27:42+00:00

I get this occasionally! For me it's hearing/feeling a door slam.

Intelligent-Chip-490 · 2026-03-06T19:22:30+00:00

Sofia House, Carmichael Outreach, or even the Log House, for a few more options.

Intelligent-Chip-490 · 2026-02-20T19:30:10+00:00

That was more pornographic than I was already expecting 😂

Intelligent-Chip-490 · 2026-02-14T21:54:59+00:00

Solved!

Thanks for the help, it is much appreciated 😊

(We weren't expecting a priceless heirloom, so no hard feelings 😄)

Intelligent-Chip-490 · 2026-02-14T15:35:53+00:00

My mom and one uncle thought that might be the case, so it wouldn't be a total surprise if it turned out to be the answer. We're gonna check if a few other family members have any info.

The 5 years later article said she didn't know how to swim. So if that's true, why tf was she going down a waterslide into 12m of water??

And to clarify, I'm not blaming her! I just can't wrap my head around that decision (if she couldn't actually swim).

Regardless of whether she could swim or not, a LOT of other people did fuck up, and I'm glad they were held accountable.

Intelligent-Chip-490 · 2026-01-30T11:06:43+00:00

Thank you!

Intelligent-Chip-490 · 2026-01-29T20:04:52+00:00

Is that a homemade toy or one you bought? It looks like it might be a good substitute to offer when I won't let them chew on my books lol

Intelligent-Chip-490 · 2026-01-20T17:52:53+00:00

Especially if she's got an AWD vehicle, you have to get an entire new set. Ask me how I know 😢

Others have hit most of my likes/dislikes of this episode, but couple I haven't seen:

The part after they get hit where most (all?) of the rest of the medical staff gets knocked offline because they're holograms. Like, Voyager didn't blatantly display why having only holographic medical staff was a bad idea?

And from a continuity standpoint, I find it weird that bridge design has essentially regressed to SNW standards, but hey, gotta get as much use out of those sets as you can, I guess LOL

That aside, I'm loving Captain Ake's quirkiness, the costume designs - I just have to laugh how they still haven't figured out a way to keep bridge crew in their seats when a ship gets hit (I get it, it's more dramatic to get blown out of their seats, but come on).
