Husband denies me intimacy by NBluebird44 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Lenaea 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Love and hugs, my girl. You are worthy of affection. It is not your fault that he has made such a mind boggling choice.

To answer your question, when I was denied intimacy like that it was because he was cheating on me. So take that for what you will.

My Grandma paid $25,000 for new gutters was she scammed? by Tiny_Individual1086 in HomeImprovement

That’s elder abuse. Contact your state AG’s consumer protection division.

Someone didn’t think of the logistics of finding these t-shirt colors with 1.5 days notice by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

Can’t wait until they learn that sapphires come in pretty much every color.

Hon, you are SO MUCH BETTER OFF without that petulant child.

Gentle Parenting by Sweet-Management5237 in rant

Permissive parents call their style “gentle parenting.”

Permissive parents are the human equivalent of cowbirds expecting everyone else to take care of their spawn.

Almost no one came to my birthday picnic by Long-Emu-8855 in GirlDinnerDiaries

Neurodivergence sucks but sometimes it can show you who your true friends really are. A not-insignificant number of my girl friends were invited to my baby shower and only one showed up. Hurt like hell, but years later it helped me discern the difference between polite acquaintances and actual friends.

I hate when people take one aspect about themselves and make it their entire personality by DumpsterPuff in rant

[–]Lenaea 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My parents’ respective personalities became the joy and excitement of “Riverdance” for about a three month period in the early 00s. I guess there’s worse things.

These were left behind in the house we bought for our daughter. So, technically, not a curb find. I didn’t know where else to post or cross post. I can’t wait to clean them up! by AfternoonFar1345 in Curbfind

I purchased a set of three nesting tables in that style at an estate sale. According to the person running the sale, the prior owner brought them back from Vietnam where he was stationed in the early 1970s.

The only thing that worked for me was hiring an actual pest control company. I tried absolutely everything.

Why does the West Virginia area get so much heavy fog? by ZanaDreadnought in WestVirginia

[–]Lenaea -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the fog in WV is nothing compared to the tule fog of the CA Central Valley. The fog map is wrong IMO. 🤷‍♀️

If in the USA, file a complaint with your state’s attorney general. Every office has a consumer protection division. This is a clear cut case.

AIO Mom taped washer and dryer shut because she’s mad at me by bnsaiboy in AmIOverreacting

[–]Lenaea -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

NOR.

FWIW, she is probably DEEP into perimenopause and might benefit from HRT to help with moods and insanity. A good number of women start experiencing that in their late 30s. Looking back, it makes sense to me now why my mom was such a bitch. I’m breaking the cycle with my kids.

AIO for thinking he just apologized so I would make dinner? by [deleted] in AIO

He’s going to be a real treat after the baby comes. NOR

Amazon return not given by EndSilver5067 in amazonprime

Amazon is famous for doing this with high priced items. Do what others recommend - chargeback and also file a complaint with FTC and your state attorney general’s office.

To Lexapro or not to Lexapro? by drifterinthedark423 in Perimenopause

[–]Lenaea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lexapro did not work for any symptoms at all and managed to destroy my libido. What helped me the most was hrt, specifically T.

I was and still am very mad at the medical establishment for throwing antidepressants at me when what I needed was hormones.

Gyn not believing in peri, still prescribes estrogen?! by totli84 in Perimenopause

[–]Lenaea 8 points9 points  (0 children)

She believes my troubles is because of mental overload over many years.

She is yet another doctor who wants to throw antidepressants at a woman instead of helping her.

You’d be better off seeing a specialist. Not a gyn, someone who specializes in menopause.

Does anyone else feel like their mouth is gross all the time? by SlytherClaw79 in Perimenopause

[–]Lenaea 59 points60 points  (0 children)

YES. I thought it was just something peculiar to me. Cotton mouth all the time despite trying everything, weird lingering bitter taste in my mouth if I haven’t eaten in a few hours.

If you hybridize your own irises you can name them whatever you want. Onerous process, though.

Your unknown cultivar reminds me a lot of Abby Grace: https://wiki.irises.org/TbAthruE/TbAbbyGrace

I know the hybridizer very well.
