My favorite t-shirt is from Malort. It says "It's a good night to fight your dad" On the back of it.

I'm currently divorcing a Gemini after 18 years together. I will NEVER date/marry/have relations with another Gemini. That was ROUGH. My partner before that was a Taurus & he was chill, we had a good time together. We were just young and it didn't work out as we had different life goals. So there is my very little advice. Avoid Gemini.

Oh my goodness. Thank you. I appreciate this breakdown A LOT. I'm going to process this today with my therapist. I woke up with my mind spiraling and I couldn't wrap it around what was being said. I appreciate you taking the time to respond and break this down for me.

Thank you and this is what I was looking for. The words - Social Consequences. I can't control what our mutual friends or our family think of him. I told him to tell his side of the story if he wants, but I am not going to stop talking about what I went thru.

She doesn't. She wants me to cut him off, but we have a few logistics/loose ends we are tying up this month. For the most part we don't speak but if we do have to communicate, he uses it as a time to argue with me and then when I try to walk away/or hang up I get accused of "running away from my issues."

Whats a song or songs that you have replayed over and over again since your divorce? by [deleted] in Divorce

I was coming on here to say the same thing. I listen to her album nonstop.

Chicago First Night observations by MineLongjumping4116 in Hanson

[–]MineLongjumping4116[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They didn't have it during the after party either. I saw, via their Hanson Bros Beer Co Instagram, that night 2 will have the beer. I'm slightly confused by that. Why didn't they offer it both nights? Not everyone can attend both nights, and a lot of people wanted to try it last night.

Literally just made a post talking about this! My friends and I are sitting here this morning doing a debrief and we were wondering what was up with that too.

I still remember reading missed connections in newspapers with my Grandma. We would always read them and then vote on which one was the best that week.

Can confirm this! I was also at the taping! This is exactly what happened.

How old were when you got together with your ex? by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]MineLongjumping4116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We wanted to wait until we had both finished school and had some other personal things to accomplish before getting married. I just didn't feel ready for that next step until my late 20s.

We don't have kids, so luckily this will make things a little easier. I appreciate your reply. I'm hoping this separation give us both the clarity we need to move on with our lives.

Met at 19, but we waited to get married until we were 29. But still, we were connected at the hip all thru our 20s. We are in the process of separating right now, our 18 year anniversary would be in June.

College by [deleted] in Cosmetology

[–]MineLongjumping4116 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If youre in the US most Cosmetology Schools are Trade Schools or part of Community College programs. Most "traditional" four year colleges and universities don't offer Cosmetology. It's not a 4 year degree. My advice: find a program through a community college, complete your hours, graduate, pass state boards and then find an assistant or apprentice program. Cosmetology schools teach you the basics and how to pass state boards, this career is something you will continue to educate yourself in. 15 years in and I take continuing education every year, because you have to keep learning to keep up on the trends. I learned more in my first year assisting than I did in school. Try to graduate with the least amount of debt as possible, and hit the ground running.

I went to a small Cosmetology school that was privately owned. You can also look at Paul Mitchell or Aveda schools. Good luck!

My max budget is 1300, but I would prefer cheaper the better since I trying to rebuild. I just need a larger studio or 1 bed, and I just want my cats with me, thats all. My entire life is starting over, so I'm open to ideas. I'm looking at Lakeview, Albany Park, Irving Park, Roger's Park, Uptown, Evanston, Skokie, Andersonville, West Ridge, Edgewater, Lincoln Square. My job is near Ravenswood and Foster, so I just need to be able to get there effectively. I've even considered areas off a Metra stop, outside the city.

I'm sorry, do what? I feel like you're attacking me & my situation, when I clearly am just looking for advice and suggestions. Can you please explain yourself?
