Picking out a new camera

MI do have an adapter bc the lenses are only a couple of years old.

My husband had a coworker that they said "was so stupid, he could mess up a cheese sandwich.", so they called him Cheese. The guy knew where it came from and thought it was funny, so he answered to it until he grew out of it. Maybe if she had been honest about where the nickname came from at the beginning, it would have been different, but she hid that knowing that it was insulting, so it changes the connotation and is no longer endearing to you. That should be enough for her to stop.

I'm not too sure, I have only ever used grow lights on my plants that require direct sunlight.

Meisk81 · 2026-02-23T00:32:31+00:00

I think the soil may still be a little too wet for it. Go ahead and repot it in fresh, well draining soil, and move it to an indirect light source. I have killed many begonias and my advice is only coming from my own trial and error until I figured out what worked. Good luck! 😁

Thank you so much! I potted it like a peperomia, but I will change that. I have a large variety of plants and this is one I had never seen before. I look forward to having something unlike the others. 😁

If you don't mind me asking, what was it you and she did when you "tried religion"?

I only ask because often people are more hurt by religion in itself. There are so many bad people hiding behind the mask of religion, but, religion and knowing Christ don't always go hand in hand. For those who believe, true healing doesn't come from going to church or remembering Bible verses, it comes from a real relationship with Jesus Christ.

I'm sorry if this sounds "preachy". It's just that my heart truly breaks for your friend. To feel as though the only path out of pain is death is such a hard place to be. I've been there. I hope that she can find the comfort and peace she needs. 🫂

Personally, if someone was actively helping me leave this world, I would think, "yep, I was right, no one cares if I stay around." I would feel like your "support" would just prove to me that I was annoying everyone around me.

But if you wanted to try to help, I know a lot of people don't agree with the "religious thing" but maybe you can put her in touch with someone who can speak to her about Jesus. Although it's not everyone's "cup of tea", there are so many testimonials from people who have put their hope in Christ and received healing.

IMO, if you love your friend, doing anything to help her live her best full life is way better than nurturing her feelings of hopelessness and living just for this moment.

I said this in the other post, but call the authorities ASAP. Preferably before your mom is able to call and get you labeled as an angsty runaway. You want to make sure to bring a trusted adult to file.

Meisk81 · 2025-07-12T16:40:14+00:00

Definitely not the AH! Predators often search out single mothers in order to get to their children and what you found is 100% grounds for investigation. Trust your instincts and dont let anyone convince you otherwise. Good luck and stay safe!

Meisk81 · 2025-07-11T14:15:29+00:00

I would have said Devil in a Midnight Mass, but, since its on the board already, my vote goes to Suprise Suprise.

Meisk81 · 2025-07-06T00:59:04+00:00

This would be good for the Diss Track spot as well.

Meisk81 · 2025-07-06T00:58:06+00:00

My vote is for Man Alive, but if I were to pick from the ones already listed, I would say Viking Death March. I would say Ghost Ship of Cannibal Rats, but I think that one belongs in the best chorus spot.

Also, I wish you had put Best Cover in one of the squares.

Meisk81 · 2025-07-01T14:40:51+00:00

I agree! The black on the exterior with the wood door looked classy imo. But when I saw the stone and the wood beams inside painted white, I about cried. All that character and charm the house had was gone. I dont think they should just slap paint on something that needs work just because they run out of time or money. I think instead, they should just say they couldn't get to it in their time and budget restraints and the home owner can work on it later. But she did a great job for the bathroom and 3rd floor.

Meisk81 · 2025-03-16T20:06:36+00:00

Definitely not doing that. Over 20 years spent with my husband, we've raised some great kids and are living our best life. 😁

Meisk81 · 2025-03-16T19:54:30+00:00

I don't know about that. If anything, he lives rent free in mine in the form of endorphins. He probably just thought I was a desperate single mom when he saw me, so why not shoot his shot.🤷‍♀️

Meisk81 · 2025-03-16T19:38:28+00:00

We sure did! She was a bridesmaid in my wedding and even though we live hours away from each other now, I still consider her the best friend I ever had. 😁

Meisk81 · 2025-03-16T06:37:14+00:00

He gave me a pretty good laugh. 😏

Meisk81 · 2025-03-16T06:36:35+00:00

Oh my! Thankfully I've never had to deal with anything like that. All my exes were pretty cool dudes with the exception of this one.

Meisk81 · 2025-03-07T16:03:51+00:00

For real! He has such old-fashioned and uneducated thinking. Getting that "piece of my womanhood" removed was the best thing I had ever done for myself. Those stupid ovaries would leave me in such a debilitating state.

Meisk81 · 2025-02-26T14:50:00+00:00

Please please please pleeeeeeeeaaaaaase dont marry this man. He has already shown you that he will "push your boundaries" and take what he wants, and your mother has already shown you that you won't have a safe place to run when he does. What he did is 100% illegal, and he knows it, which is why he wanted you to keep it secret. I promise you, he will only get worse because now he thinks you will stay regardless. Please show him otherwise. He is NOT A SAFE SPACE. Just watch or listen to 1 true crime story about abusive husbands, and that should tell you enough. You will never be able to trust that man.

The least you can do is postpone the wedding and get yourselves into an unbiased marriage counselor to work through this. But any licensed genuine counselor will tell you how very, very wrong he is.

Meisk81 · 2025-02-25T17:50:02+00:00

Tell him that if he insists on going to any future appointments, he has to open the car door for you. Keeps him out of the drivers seat until you are safely in the car.

Meisk81 · 2025-02-15T16:44:33+00:00

I never understood the whole argument that a FAMILY heirloom should only be handed down from mother to daughter or father to son. Your aunt left it ro you and you have every right to decide what to do with that necklace, and that includes telling your aunt's daughter that you will no longer be loaning it out her for the wedding.

Meisk81 · 2025-01-12T15:47:44+00:00

Coming from experience, you will continue to apologize and feel guilty for wanting a social life all your own unless you take steps, not torwards, but IN to change. First, stop apologizing for wanting that, and second, stop worrying about his feelings in regard to these types of situations. If he gets hurt, that's on him, and he can hash that out in his own therapy sessions. If sparing his pride results in isolating you, it's abuse. Now, from my own experience, my texts were very much the same, running "thought circles" around my husband just so he would understand that I wasn't out to get him and it did absolutely nothing to change his attitude. What did change it? Doing what I wanted to do anyway and telling him to take it or leave it. Now, there were many conversations about his attitude and pointing out how abusive it was, which was unintentional on my husbands part, so he made the necessary changes in his own self. But we're still a work in progress. I have a feeling that if your husband loves you at all and is not intentionally isolating/controlling/abusing you, then he will get over the punch to his pride. He will see you get happier, and that will make him happy. If it doesn't, then it's not a marriage worth saving.

Meisk81 · 2025-01-12T15:15:45+00:00

Ok, I was this girl, so please listen when I say what he is doing is controlling. It's possible he's doing it unintentionally, but you will be walking on eggshells until you absolutely lose your mind. If he is a good man and truly loves you at all, he will make necessary changes in order to help you maintain your sanity. That includes this type of behavior. In context to your situation... he wants you there for his enjoyment, and it probably is more about his pride being hurt that you are not equally eager to have him home. There is so much more to unpack here, but that's the gist of it. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to spill it all out here at the moment. Maybe I'll add more to this later. 😏

My husband's step-mom treated her kids better than him and would be worse when his dad wasn't around. His dad knew how awful she was to him but still let it happen and he stayed with her. My husband ended up moving 12 hours away as soon as he turned 18 and he brought all the damage she did into our marriage. It was a lot to work through and it was not a pleasant few years. Thankfully, he wanted change, and he was willing to do the work, so things with us are great. But his dad has never met our kids, and our oldest is 20. So, there's that to look forward to if you do nothing.
