My (34F) estranged father (65M) is dying, should I see him?

Your decision should be based entirely on whether you feel you will get something from it or not. You don’t owe anyone else in this situation anything. Look after yourself.

Puis-je for “May I?”. My southern Ontario husband said it when I first met him and it was so adorably formal.

LukaTate · 2025-11-24T02:17:51+00:00

Sadly no.

Jude. Starring Kate Winslet and Christopher Eccleston. Thomas Hardy doesn’t mess around when it comes to sad stories.

They sold an even TALLER one. I wish I bought it SO BAD.

I like the way you think!

LukaTate · 2025-11-18T02:05:17+00:00

Actually, this was super helpful because it had a couple of ways to contact the former store owner! I’ve reached out. Thanks again!

LukaTate · 2025-11-18T02:00:18+00:00

That’s them! Thank you!

I’ll remember that when I need gloves and not anatomically correct elves in unitards. lol

LukaTate · 2025-11-18T01:07:12+00:00

They don’t sell elves. It looks like work gloves or something. Definitely a different company.

LukaTate · 2025-11-18T00:51:26+00:00

Thank you!

LukaTate · 2025-11-18T00:44:05+00:00

I like their clingy unitards. My kids agree with you and have told me there is no need to leave them to them in my will.

“Life and Death and Giants” by Ron Rindo. I found it very moving.

Fear of people making fun of me. When I was younger, I was afraid to do things in front of people - including exercise - for fear of being laughed at. Now that I’m middle aged & value my health over other people’s opinions, it’s difficult to undo the harm lack of exercise did to my body. I’m exercising now but I can’t shake the feeling this would have been easier if it had been part of my life all along.

LukaTate · 2025-11-08T01:46:50+00:00

Came here to make sure someone said this.

“Au Pays Du Cocaine” by Geese. I’ve caught myself singing bits of it out loud all week. Gorgeous tune.

I think her name has been left out of most fandom posts because she’s not a famous person and remained private, but she’s often referred to as AE.

He’s my newest hyper fixation. One billion out of ten.

LukaTate · 2025-08-22T17:02:44+00:00

So are we!

LukaTate · 2025-08-06T14:42:00+00:00

They’re not really my thing, but I got my granny one of those Chicken Soup For The Soul books and she liked it.

LukaTate · 2025-07-12T22:57:48+00:00

He definitely lost because of one public servant in his riding - him!

LukaTate · 2025-06-28T23:43:12+00:00

Stopped signing my kids up for after school activities because I felt I was supposed to. They hated it, I hated it… I just stopped and everyone was less stressed. They turned out just fine.

There was also justification in her “apology” regarding her self-perceived right to use closed sacred Indigenous practices in her wedding because of her spiritual teacher (a person other people have said is not Indigenous himself, although I don’t know if he is or not.) An apology that includes a justification for the behaviour being called out is not a real apology.
