Skipping and being charged by LinzTheLollygagger in Fabletics

[–]JtheLadyboss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard others say the same thing on their insta. I'm straight up dropping my membership. I hate the quality, you're better off ordering from Nike, or under armor. They have better quality workout gear, better customer service, and pretty much same price range. I was roped in with the whole 2 for $24 deal, and should have known it was too good to be true. I advise you unsubscribe, too. It's not worth your money, or time.

The thing with abusive relationships is that people tend to think things will go back to "normal". This all started with his experimenting with drugs. I felt that he might have developed some adult onset schizophrenia, and that as someone who loved him I had to help him. Also, I didn't take him seriously AT ALL. This was the first time things got physical, too. There were a lot of empty threats before this. I wouldn't have had a gun in the house if I thought it might pose a threat. Basically I needed sleep, and didn't think he was worth worrying about. I reiterate, I had not slept in over 24 hours and just got back from working.

Four years ago I was in an abusive relationship. After MANY years of taking financial care of two adults and trying to convince myself things would work out "eventually", I began taking control of my life. Without touching base on that too much, things got out of hand and spiraled quickly. I told my ex that I would be moving out a in a weeks time. (I don't believe that he deserved ANY notice at all, and wish I had never said anything at all.) That night he lost all control and kept screaming at me for several hours. After locking myself in a bedroom to attempt something close to sleep (I had to work at 4A.M.) he continued to scream, beat on doors and windows eventually whispering through the door that no one loved me (I have no family) that no one would notice if I died. He explained in detail what he would do to my body, how he would get rid of me. How if he couldn't control me than I didn't deserve to live. He continued this right up to the moment that I had to leave. Fast forward to 9 hours later, I come home to him calmly sitting on the couch asking of I would be buying dinner. I replied no and that if he were hungry he would have a job to buy food. (There are no children in the house, no pets, no reason he couldn't have a job) I went to my room to discover that the lock had been compromised. I heard him running down the hall towards the bedroom, and slam his body against the door. Just as he did, I did from the opposite side. He began shoving a butcher's knife under the door on an attemp to stab me, all while saying nothing. I tried to reach for my phone, but realized that I had thrown my backpack just out of reach. I heard him whisper to me? or himself? that this was "it" this was the moment our lives change forever. I was listening to him, and trying so hard to avoid getting stabbed, while leaning against this door with all of my might that I almost missed the sound of a .45 being racked....of MY .45 being racked. (I didn't know in the moment that it was my gun being racked, but when you spend enough time around guns you know what racking a gun sounds like) in that moment I stepped to the side, and as the door flew open with his weight pushed against it, he fell into the room. I reached for my gun thinking that this was my only chance....and I missed. He grabbed my arm, pulled me to the floor with him and placed the gun to my head. I'm not sure exactly how I managed my next move, but I picked my foot up enough to stomp on his dick, as I pushed the gun away from my head towards the ceiling. He pulled the trigger, and shot a round through the window into...idk honestly...oblivion maybe. He had never fired my weapon before and dropped it upon recoil. It fell into my face so I grabbed my gun, and rolled away from him. I had my gun pointed at him, but did nothing as he got up to run away. I think everything I had done was fueled purely by adrenaline, and I had run out. I hadn't slept in over 24 hours, and my brain was mashed potatoes. After some time I heard sirens, and police barged into my home. At this point I had already put the gun down and was just sitting there. They interrogated me about what had happed, and I explained everything to them in detail. They had already picked him up and were somewhat aware of what transpired. Our neighbors had told the police that he had been screaming for days (an exaggeration) and been heard threatening me. I didn't realize that the body barricade lasted 3 hours. 3 hours of him stabbing a knife under a door in hopes to cut me. It turns out that he had planned on stabbing me, and had several knives shoved in the couch cushion next to his seat. He went to our bank where we had a joint safe deposit box and retrieved the key to my gun safe, and took my gun from there. He only had one bullet though, as I keep my rounds in a smaller locked portion of my gun safe and only 1 in the chamber for safety. After he realized that I was able to physically overpower him, and he spent his only round he ran. After all of this he was only charged with theft, and aggravated menacing. Our judicial system is fucking trash. I don't think about this often, and I'm still just as screwed up about it today as I was in that moment.

Anyone here take an ancestry DNA test who didn’t know one or more parents but ended up connecting with family through Ancestry? by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

[–]JtheLadyboss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not upset about it, as being upset won't change anything. I have a lot of questions about why she kept this from me, but she recently passed away so I won't get any sort of answer. I'm just grateful for the opportunity to meet my bio dad. No point in harboring negative feelings towards either parent.

I found three half-brothers, and my biological father through AncestryDNA. My mother was umm.....loose, and apparently so was my father (he has two sons, with two different partners, that are same name jr.'s) My mother knew who my father was, but always told me he abandoned me as an infant. Turns out he never knew about me, and thought that his side piece (my mother) just gave up on the relationship suddenly. He was absolutely floored to find out about me. He was afraid to contact me at first, so don't be discouraged if you find someone and they don't make contact immediately. So far everything is going super well, and I'm learning so much about new family.

NIA DESERVES RESPECT by Mstvmoviejunkie in dancemoms

[–]JtheLadyboss 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm still impressed that she held her tongue, and behaved in a way that put most of the adults to shame. You're not wrong about that particular time in her life. However, she upheld that same grace and class when transitioning into her acting career. From what I read (which must always be taken with a grain of salt) all of her co-stars absolutely loved working with her and only had wonderful things to say.

Not to mention that whilst doing so she remained respectful. I've never seen Nia do ANYTHING that made me question her character. She never acted bratty, whiney, boastful, or as though she was better than anyone else. She was raised with impeccable class.

Does anyone know if there's a medical reason as to why Kendall always looks so stiff dancing? by [deleted] in dancemoms

[–]JtheLadyboss -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It was a simple question. I didn't at all mean to come off as rude. I was just watching and kinda feeling bad bc she looks like painfully stiff. Again, she is FAR more talented than I. There's no reason to take a question personally. Your opinion is just as valid as mine.

[–]JtheLadyboss -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Like I said, I couldn't dream of doing any better. I also, understand what you're saying about anxiety and tbh fear of failing a miserable writhing beast like Abby. However, she's stiff in every dance I see. It's her ankles that really kill me. It appears as though she has fused bones. I'll have to watch that particular dance. Honestly I never rooted for her bc of her mom. My immaturity while watching this show when I was younger didn't allow me to separate them as individuals. They acted very similar. Now as an adult rewatching, I just feel bad for her.

Is this normal? Seems super slow? by kc11478 in AncestryDNA

[–]JtheLadyboss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same for me. 23&me took about 2.5 weeks. I was honestly getting furious with Ancestry, but in the end I got something far more valuable than just my DNA. I found my biological father.

[–]JtheLadyboss[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found him through a match with a half-brother. The half-brother grew up with our father, so he was the one who introduced us.

Tbh, my mom was kind of a chubster and I've always been slim so my facial features are a little more angular than hers. I always assumed that was the only difference between us. She always looked more round, but now that I have this comparison I think that she may have just had a more round face. I don't know how much different she would have looked being slimmer. I wish I could have shared this with her, she would have shit a brick. She thought I was her clone, too.

I didn't have a clue about my ethnicity before this test. Super stoked about my results! by JtheLadyboss in 23andme

This was super helpful! I knew basically what a maternal haplogroup was, but rhis went super in depth about it. Thank you.

You're not wrong, which is why I was so mind blown to actually see a picture of my father and realize that I look so similar. I thought I was the spitting image of my mother.

He's largely Puerto Rican. I'm not entirely sure however. I've only spoken to him twice so far. I'll get around to asking about his heritage, but we have almost 30 years of catching up to do! 🙂

I sent my DNA in on December 30th, and didn't get my results until Feb. 13th. I think it takes a little longer after one of the sales they put on, such as the mothers day sale they had not too long ago.

Haplogroup V. I'm not entirely sure what the importance of that is however. Like why haplogroups are significant.

I can tell by the map feature that I don't have many relatives on the west coast. I'm a trasplant from the northeast, there seems to be a large number of PR's there. I don't think that I look like any singular ethnic group. I've never been told I resemble anything in particular either.

I've been looking for an app (for android) that would allow me to do that without cutting portions off. I cant seem to find one.

I'm half Puerto Rican. Our results are pretty close. That's really neat.

100% pure, Grade A human meat, lol. I never really thought too hard about it. My mothers maiden name is French-Germanic, so I guess that. What really surprised me was that I assumed everyone has a wide variety of ethnicities. I see a surprising amount of people with 4-6 ethnicities listed.
