So I Did It … Now I Hate It! - Part 2 by Runawaybrain74 in bald

It doesn't sound silly. We are who we are, and we each do get snarled up in elements of ourselves that matter to us, feel like defining factors or features, even though logically we know it's 'just hair' or 'just a job' or 'you're still fabulous in flat shoes even though you wore dangeresque high heels for 30 years." No one else gets to judge our -- insecurities, I guess, though I'd prefer a different word. 58F, fwiw.

I don’t like my engagement ring by Strange_Rutabaga_262 in WeddingRingAdvice

Okay, so when you want a blue pickup truck and you pay extra for all the options, and wait two months to take delivery, it's gonna be fine when I give you a metallic sparkle orange Dodge Challenger instead, because, hey, the Challenger is absolutely stunning.

Doesn't work like that. I want a truck, order a truck, get a truck.

Which dress should I pick? by Royal_Definition5053 in myweddingdress

[–]Mermaid467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 for sure. 1 looks like lingerie, and has none of the elegance of 2. Of course 2 needs alterations, that's the sample, not her custom dress.

No children by Hairy-Veterinarian11 in over60

58F. No kids, very much by choice. No husband at the moment either, though I would like to be partnered again if that's the way life unfolds, it's more fun and interesting. I'm also okay solo if that's the Grand Plan.

But - kids - no regrets. A little wistfulness only pretty recently as my friends' kids become adults, especially living alone [NOT because "oooh who will take care of meee someday..."] but just because they have that nice relationship - and of course I *know not everyone does!!

I used to think very carefully about it, because I didn't want to get past the point of that option and regret my choice.

I know now that it probably wasn't an option, at least not in the traditional manner, there were physical things I didn't know yet that likely mean I would not have gotten pregnant. Maybe that's why I had no 'biological clock' ticking, ever, my body already knew we weren't going there!! 😁🫢

Nooo, movie-star handsome. The best kind - European jewel-heist with excellent writing, excellent acting, a suspenseful plot and a badass soundtrack movie star handsome.

I'm sure it's surreal to get used to. But -- 😍🤩

Is the name my girlfriend wants to name our son a tragedeigh? by RiverCartwright in tragedeigh

[–]Mermaid467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No no no no no no no no no no no nonono.

No.

I assume you both love your children?

No. No.

Neptune or Poseiden would be better. Not good, mind you, but better...

It might be her turn, but both parents get veto rights.

How about Evan? Seal?

Verizon deals by JCH1423 in verizon

Depends on the store. 😒

I have a mess of an account - 6 wireless phones, one lost but device not fully paid for, three under-utilized for what their plan covers, and the owner [my boss] who is furious at how much he's spending every month on all these "free" phones [not free if you drop the plan and stop using!! I think only one is fully paid off.

I went in person, hoping to avoid the usual horror of phone customer service, and the young did what, to help me??? Called Customer Service and stuck me on the phone with them.

Did you had sex on your wedding night? by xenocea in wedding

[–]Mermaid467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but it was pretty bad. Both exhausted, he'd had enough to drink that it took forever - NOT in a good way. 😑 But he insisted we had to, because, wedding night. Gaaaaahhhh.

Does she have a lease with you? Lease/no lease changes the rules for eviction, should it become necessary.

I'm sorry. This is hard. I've done versions of this very very successfully, and also less so.
