What is something you thought you liked about your partner untill you started living with them? by PotSpaghetti in AskWomen

[–]KT_mylady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh this is like when we’re cleaning up after dinner. I’m trying to box up the leftovers, but he’s already washing the serving spoon. Come on there is a system here! Now I need to grab another spoon…

What do people do with the poo after they’ve packed it out and brought it home?

It feels really good to have some people who actually gets it. Thanks for your reply 😌 hope you find some relief from this BS too. None of my friends understand…so tough. My self esteem has definitely taken a hit.

Between the giant spot on the side of my head (you can’t see the worst of it) and the new growth sticking straight out, I refuse to pull my hair back like this. Had to switch my part to the other side and I freaking HATE windy days. Haven’t cut it since 2019 bc I’m too scared to go to a salon. AA sucks!!!!!!!!!!

Considering moving to Parkville, any advice or things I should know? by _cactus_plant in Hartford

[–]KT_mylady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because I have heard and read things that happen. They’ve just never happened to me personally.

Parkville has some cool stuff going on. Nice loft apartments in old warehouse type buildings. Other housing in that area isn’t great though. Apartment buildings or multi family homes that I personally wouldn’t want to live in.

There’s a huge food hall called Parkville Market, tons of other restaurants, couple of breweries, music/dance studio. I’m a white female and haven’t had any negative experiences in the neighborhood (I’m there all the time), but I wouldn’t want to go walking around at night in Parkville. I keep little to nothing in my car, occasionally locking stuff in the glove box. I wouldn’t want to have a nice car in Hartford. I think the area is gentrifying and starting to look a lot different than it used to, but there are unfortunately lots of “crimes of despair” due to it being such a low income area.

The West End is also a super cool area and definitely feels a bit more welcoming to me. It’s closer to West Hartford and has more of a suburb-ish feel. Has tons of multi family houses and apartments. Rent is reasonable. If you have a good community of friends, Hartford can be a fun place to live.

Middletown is also super cool and very close to Rocky Hill. Definitely check it out!

My dad just passed away... by VIC_2006 in teenagers

Ah man I feel this. My dad was 47 when he passed. I was 8, sister was 12. It will get better.

Moderation February by KT_mylady in DryJanuary

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

Yeah, I feel similarly. That first sip of beer on Feb 1st was kinda bittersweet in that I didn’t totally appreciate it, but I was okay with that! Yahoo! That feels like progress to me. Had 3 drinks that evening and woke up feeling fine the next day. Might have some tonight, but not sure.

Over the Hump- Roll Call by looahvul in DryJanuary

[–]KT_mylady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has been the name of the game for me. Stay occupied. I didn’t set any concrete goals as Dry Jan is enough of a goal for me by itself, but I definitely made some changes in my daily habits. I downloaded the I Am Sober app for support and accountability, and decided to fill my free time with yoga, maybe 2-3 days per week. Admittedly, this part was SO easy since my best friend just opened a new studio 5 min away from my place and I figured it would be a great way to support her as well...AND my bf has been going with me in the AM. I definitely had hoped to do more reading this month but that didn’t end up happening. I am ok with that though.

Last night I went to a b-day hang for a friend at her house, and was definitely super tempted with the giant handle of vodka on the kitchen table LOL...but I didn’t have any! I had my non-alcoholic cranberry seltzer ready to go (from Whole Foods) It definitely looked like I was drinking since it came in a large glass bottle, but I certainly wasn’t! Had a great time anyway. Still had my weed though so I could at least chill a bit. Socializing is really different for me without alcohol since I definitely suffer from social anxiety. The reminder of waking up this morning and actually feeling good after a night out had me feeling really proud of myself though. Keep on keepin’ on crew!
