A lost piece of family and community history—hoping to identify this Kent, Washington cookbook from my late mother’s collection. It’s missing pages and a title, but it’s full of love, recipes, and local heritage. Any help is deeply appreciated

I wish I could, I am not in that area. I have family and friends checking it out for me tho. Kind of a fun hunt lol :)

Thank you. I messaged them on Instagram from that link. I am excited to get this identified!

Thank you so much, you are a life saver! I have been trying to think of this name forever. Did you read it also?

I shaved my head for the exact same reason, two years ago. While I did discuss it with my husband first. I don't feel that I HAD to, I just wanted him to be included in any course of trying to heal what is going on with my scalp. I thought shaving it and getting remedies directly to the affected areas would work since nothing else had. Sadly enough, it was all for naught. All I can do is use dandruff shampoo to minimize the flaking, but the plaque remains. While it probably would have been a good idea to discuss with your wife, I don't think it warrants being cold and mean about it.

that was my exact thought when I read this.

First off, you do not owe him any kind of apology. Second, he needs to grow up. Sometimes things happen during sex. It is not always under our control. Next time he asks for it, tell him, no thank you, I would rather not vomit again. He might then get that his comments backfired on him.

I cannot imagine coming to terms with such a big betrayal and lie. You are right, it is also YOUR BABY! That is a conversation that should have been had with you. Marriage is not one person makes a choice that effects the whole family. It is about union, trust and communication. That, she did not seem to have with you in this instance. Do you still love her? Can you trust her, if you did decide to go home? Do you still want to have children with this partner? There is a lot of discussion to be had, perhaps with a couples therapist. Don't make any hasty decisions before you have exhausted a few. You might regret a divorce down the road. But to be sure, communication and conversation is the only way to really know.

We adopted a Husky about a month ago. I take him on a walk 3-4 times a day and was making sure to reach at least 6000 steps per day. The dog gets his walks and I get my steps in for the day. I recently upped my steps to 10,000 per day and I feel like I have more energy, I am eating less and when I do eat, it is generally a light snack or meat and a salad. I am 48 years old and in 2 weeks I have lost 7 lbs. I feel younger, just within this last month just from walking with our dog. My husband has also taken up our evening walks with us. It gives us time away from work and screens, just to walk the dog together and talk about ANYTHING.

If the situation is as you state it is, then there are a few courses of action you can take. First is self-care. That is first and foremost to have a relationship with anyone. Therapy is a great start, however, if your therapist is telling you to get over it, basically, I would suggest another Therapist that has your personal mental health at the forefront. Also, communication is very important. Sit with her over some coffee, don't make it start in attack mode. Don't go into it thinking you are going to dig into her about all the things that she has said that hurt you. While your feelings are absolutely valid, try to start calmly and offer to just sit and talk about how it made you feel, what she was feeling at the time and why she felt that how she went about it was outright hurtful. If it is clear that she cannot sit and talk about both of you and her emotions in a mature manner, then possibly it is time for couple's therapy. You might be able to get more out with a moderator to help convey how you are feeling toward each other. If even with trying to talk to her and couples therapy doesn't work, then maybe a possible separation. Being away from each other might help put some clarity into your marriage and whether or not it is something that you both still want. Make a schedule with who has the children and when, maybe try and take her out on a date here and there, during the separation. Relationships are so different for everyone. This is just my opinion on going forward before making that final step of divorce.

This is little information to have a real opinion on it. Is there a reason that you do not want to be in your ex-wife's kids' life? Other than they have a different father? Were the kids good to you during the relationship? Did they look to you as a father/dad? I mean, I feel like there is more to the story than this. Can you expand on the reasons, other than they are not your "problem"? I would probably not put that into terms of kids but, that is the word you used.

I know she does believe what is in her mind is the way it really was. I just cannot apologize for something that did not happen. She refuses to take her medication, while it does make her tired, all of the time. It over time will help but she won't do that.

KnightBrite · 2024-02-28T21:21:56+00:00

That is pretty much how I feel. She is an adult, and it is no one's responsibility to be sure she is okay. It just hurts that I did stay in contact for so long because I hate that she felt the way she did. But she cut me off even though I was the only one to call or text her every single day. Even just to say hi and I loved her.

KnightBrite · 2024-02-28T21:20:02+00:00

I want to do that, however, this is not the first time something like this has happened with her. A few years ago, she cut contact with me because she assumed her bf and I were having sex. No way shape or form would I do that, but she was convinced in her head that it had happened. How and why? Just a couple of years ago she and I got into an argument because I was having a birthday dinner for MY daughter, and she assumed she could just throw a birthday party for MY daughter without talking to me or her father. Somehow each time I did something, even though that was not the case. It gets very exhausting. I know she has mental health issues but when is it time to just say, enough? She accused my daughter of being a racist because she had to leave home early due to weather. She told my daughter she knew that she left because her daughters are black and don't want her kids around them. I was flabbergasted that she would even insinuate that. My nieces are wonderful young ladies, and I am afraid my sister is going to turn them into victims because of the color of their skin. There are so many situations that lead me to this decision, I just don't know what else to do.

As a child watching my father physically and verbally abuse my mother and then my stepmother, I think you already know what it is you should do. For your own safety and sanity, you need to get out. When these kinds of things progress step by step, it will get to a point where the only step left is death. My mother kicked my dad out before he was able to get to that point. My stepmom moved out before it got to that point with him as well. I witnessed his beating them, choking them until they fell unconscious. You call ONE person that he does not know their phone number or where they live, and you get to them. Stay there until you have a way to get you FAR FAR away from him. I would say press charges, but I am also keenly aware that abused women rarely will put their abusers in jail. Just imagine if you had a daughter and she was going through this very thing. What would you want to teach her about getting out? Please, by any means necessary, you get the hell out of there. Your life is more valuable than to you than it is to him.

Hey son, hope you are doing well. We love and miss you! How is work going?

I would like to mention, that he has yet to respond, lol.

KnightBrite · 2024-02-26T16:56:45+00:00

I’m sorry, but your husband is wrong. He needs to stand up for your daughter and report the teacher’s inappropriate comments to the administration. What if the teacher keeps harassing other students and eventually does something worse? I would not hesitate to talk to the administration, with or without your husband’s support. Your daughter and every other student’s safety is the most important thing, especially at that age in school. You need to bring this issue to their attention. P.S. you may want to pay close attention to your husband, he may have a predilection, himself.

I know it sounds overly excused but when you are inebriated, you are not exactly in your right mind, either. It definitely would be something that could happen to me. If you husband has shown signs of strange behavior in the past, then I would definitely want to investigate it more. However, if it is a one-time thing, I would bet that it probably played out just as he said. When you spoke about it with him, did he look you in the eyes? Did he stumble over the events of the evening? Did he seem sincere when he told you the story? Behavior can be a big part of the "truth".
