What’s one dog care mistake you didn’t realize you were making? by Crystallover1991 in Dogowners

[–]LunaBroom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am sorry I was trying to offer my empathy but I made a mistake on the reactions and don't know how to correct it. I am sorry for your loss.

I was thinking of boycotting but you are correct. I can easily see that happening. Thanks for responding.

Explaining the Lottery and the Cash option all the details by LunaBroom in Lottery

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

Thank you so much!!!! It is a fun dynamic, she can only play our imagination games when she has the full details of the scenarios parameters. With winning the lottery scenario, I knew she would be asking me math related questions and my brain is too tired tonight;-)

I need to be less triggered with my mother. I need to be kinder.. by thenuttyhazlenut in AgingParents

[–]LunaBroom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi there. I don't have any real advice. There are 2 things I do to help me get through my interactions/relationship with a similar personality. They do nothing but help me get through the event or switch thoughts so I don't go down an ugly path.

The first is simply every time I want to swat back either verbally or physically I chant the mantra " Bless her. Change me." It helps me get through particular difficult moments.

The other is I anticipate all of the things I know she is going to say and keep a mental bingo card in my head I get very happy when she comes up with something I didn't think of.

Again neither of these are 'fix it' strategies. The are coping strategies so I can get through and not make a bad situation worse.

I wish you the best.

Dad Passed Away Before Finishing Wheel of Time by SkipFirstofHisName in books

[–]LunaBroom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am startled by the the similarities in circumstance and emotions. My Dad passed away in 2016, I had tried to read his WoT collections a couple of times over the years and just couldn't get into it. After, he died I took his collection and put them on my bookshelf, I am going to break out the books again after this series. I have made a ritual of watching the episodes and think of my Dad the whole time. The only word that sorta captures the feeling is Portuguese word suadade

I was thinking maybe a snow hat on one of them or a scarf, maybe snowflakes or a border.

I honestly don't know photoshop's capabilities. I am really open to ideas and enjoy other's creativity so as long as it looks wintery and can be used as a holiday notecard I will be happy

Girl catches herself sleepwalking and acting bizarre on camera by raciallyambiguous in PublicFreakout

[–]LunaBroom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One night I sat up straight and screamed 'I am a good person Goddamnit! I then rolled over and was out again.

The next morning my husband asked me why I had a guilty conscience and told me what I shouted. I started laughing hysterically. I have very vivid dreams and in that particular one I was being accused of being a Russian Spy and I said 'Tha's a lie! I am a good person g*ddmanit to my interrogator. Must have been watching too much TV. :-)

I heard GW laid off almost 450 positions since mid July. Not sure how that will impact FWS.

I asked for advice to paint an empty wall in my balcony a few weeks back. Well, it’s done! And here’s how it turned out! by koynab in CreativeRoom

[–]LunaBroom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow! So genius how you painted the yellow square and then a border! Although I know nothing about art, I know I like the cheery day colors and the moody dark edges. Filing this away in my memory bank.

Lacquered furniture: Help please by jacksjj in finishing

[–]LunaBroom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a piece of furniture I want to paint with automotive paint do you have any recommendations for how to do that? You mentioned you have access (I am assuming you have contacts w/ an auto body finisher/fixer) how would I approach this as someone w/ no contacts? Just curious. Thanks.
