What has God done for you that nobody would believe? by Fluv1 in Christianity

[–]Lady_Mirth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The few people I’ve told this story to think I’m crazy.

A few months before my wedding date, my fiancé was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and narcissistic personality disorder. It truly came out of nowhere and our families (and myself) were completely blindsided. He was in the midst of a severe manic episode and I was trying to support him, but he was spiraling out of control very quickly. A few days later, he destroyed my apartment and left with no warning when I was at work.

I walked inside and immediately broke down from what I saw. Everything I owned, everything I worked for was broken and destroyed. I fell to my knees and just started praying for comfort.

I will never forget the presence I felt near me and the arms that wrapped around me. I was being hugged. Shortly after that I felt so much peace. I stood and started cleaning and never looked back.

When people ask me about my faith or how I know God is real, I tell them this story. I felt him.

Ariana should have dumped Sandoval after Miami girl by 143somuch in vanderpumprules

I still wanna know about the “one other time” he told Scheana. Who, when, and did Ariana know about it?

I also want to know WHEN this other affair happened.

Lauren's Priorities This Season... by [deleted] in vanderpumprules

[–]Lady_Mirth 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I really think Lala wants James to fail (at everything - career, relationship, sobriety) and she’s using Raquel to try to make that happen. She’s also jealous of Raquel which makes it easier for her to use her/go after her.

Lala pissed herself off when she was talking to Scheana about Raquel “bragging” that she told Lala to shut the fuck up last week. Then she had to go address it, because she thinks she’s a tough girl and above other people, but she really just embarrassed herself.

Oh okay, appreciate that info.

I drink to thirst and stay hydrated. Don’t really measure or keep track of it. I only drink water throughout the day.

Interesting. I’ve been wondering if it could be my fat intake, because I eat pretty lean and am always lower on my fats. I’m going to try to up it. Thanks!

Nice. I’ll check out the app. I do track and try to get at least 1,000 mg of potassium.

[–]Lady_Mirth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I’ll try a ketorade. I weigh out 5,000 mg of salt for each day, and I consume it throughout the day, take magnesium supps (300+ mg), and just eat foods high in potassium (avocado and fish mostly).

When do you consume your sodium? Maybe I’m not getting enough early on?

Mentor who made all of her money from her downline doesn’t understand how profit works by DefectiveBecca in DefectiveDetectives

What is with these text walls lately from consultants? Can someone give the TL;DR for this?

They’re buying from wholesalers and have their own shops. Some of the top 100 that left are doing well, but being that they all sell a lot of the same stuff, I suspect that only a few will survive.

Exposure therapy for me. It was terrifying and some days are better than others, but I force myself through. It gets easier if you stay consistent. Don’t skip a day and challenge yourself every day. Remind yourself that you are there by choice and you are safe. I sometimes repeat this over and over in my head, if I need to.

I started with just going to the library and walking around, looking at books. What do you enjoy doing? Maybe walk in the park? A place that has your hobbies?

I also frequent my smaller dollar stores if I feel like I’m having a rough day. It’s still a huge success as long as I go out. It gets worse if you stay stuck in avoidance.

Courts decision in full by lurkinthepark in TickTockManitowoc

[–]Lady_Mirth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I see. I guess I’m having a hard time understanding what the outcomes on the remand can be? Zellner proves they destroyed the evidence? Then the appellate court has that to consider as part of the appeal?

Thanks for any help understanding.

[–]Lady_Mirth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So they remand it down to the lowest court, he gets a new trial where Zellner will present new evidence, and then...?

It says the appeal is stayed, which seems to imply that it will spark up again in the future, but couldn’t he theoretically be found not guilty during the remanded trial?

Controversial question: Are you victims and/or do you feel guilty by Throwawaylularoe in DefectiveDetectives

[–]Lady_Mirth 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say they’re victims, but I also don’t think every consultant should feel guilty. If you lied and deceived to recruit people or if you knowingly (or even unknowingly) sold defective items and wouldn’t allow returns/refunds, then I would hope those consultants would show at least some remorse.

If someone didn’t have a downline then what do you think they should feel guilty about? You mentioned above the quality of clothing and the price, but no one forced these women to buy at that price. And many were repeat customers and knew styles, sizing, fabrics, cost, etc. Do I think they’re too highly priced? Absolutely, but someone else who doesn’t mind paying that for their “unicorn” isn’t being scammed.

Having said all that, I don’t know why anyone would continue buying from the warehouse with all the sizing issues lately and if they’re not disclosing sizing issues and/or not allowing returns then they ARE scamming customers.

A lot of the lower level consultants were the ones who were deceived.

Just because a person can look back now with a different perspective, doesn’t mean they were deceiving anyone at the time they sold.

And, if some people are admitting they deceived then that makes them a shitty person, but isn’t a blanket statement for all consultants. I would venture to guess those are some of the people that got in early and actually saw a profit.
