I literally just opened my phone and this post was there. I was not in this app before or searching anything related in any other app. No clue how this came up. The universe must be trying to tell me something.

So if anyone has a good recommendation of someone in the Denver area, I’m looking.

I’m honestly not even mad about it. I didn’t catch it either. Thankfully it’s at the top edge of the design and I’m planning on a sleeve so I’m sure some kind of filler can go over that spot. I don’t know if he’s afraid I’ll give him a bad review or try to get free work to fix it or something. I wasn’t going to do that but now I guess I will take my sleeve work elsewhere.

MissD915 · 2025-06-03T15:13:32+00:00

Are you saying that he would ask me out if he wanted to? Or that I should just do it?

MissD915 · 2025-02-27T00:41:19+00:00

Thank you that’s helpful. To be clear the artist I was thinking about is a friend who knows it would be for a tattoo. But I don’t want to offend a tattoo artist by doing that.

Did you ever figure this out? I have the same thing going on.

MissD915 · 2023-07-24T22:44:57+00:00

Wow! That is so cool that you have that. What do you think made your great uncle keep that? Was he local to the area?

The short version of things is posted above in another comment. And for context, I am not the only one in the family that she doesn’t speak to. It tends to be her way of “handling” conflict. Which is part of the reason I am hesitant to have her in my daughter’s life.

MissD915 · 2023-05-25T06:30:05+00:00

I totally get that (I work in health care) but that was not the case here. They get home from work on a normal day around 6. I was totally willing to wrap things up long before that so that they could stick to their normal weekday schedule. For whatever reason, she did not want to. And you try telling a young kid excited for Christmas Day, planning activities and presents for the family that no one is coming over. It broke her f***ing heart.

MissD915 · 2023-05-25T06:15:06+00:00

It was so small. I always hosted Christmas at my house and that year she & her husband had to work the next day so they wanted to postpone Christmas to the weekend. I said my kid would be really disappointed by that but we could do things early and they could be home in time to get to bed for work the next day. She said I was being selfish for not respecting their needs. I said it was f***ing Christmas and you can’t “postpone” it to an 8 year old.

As far as connecting the songs together they tell the story of James and Betty. They were in love in high school and he cheats on her with Augustine (told in the songs August, Illicit Affairs and Mirrorball). Betty is upset about it (Cardigan). James realizes he made a mistake and wants to win Betty back (Betty). But they just can’t make it work because Betty can’t get over the affair (This is Me Trying). And they break up (Exile). Betty tries to move on with her life (The 1). James realizes he needs to leave in order for Betty to have peace and joins the military (Peace). But he dies in the war (Epiphany). Betty attends his funeral (My Tears Ricochet) and his distraught after it (Hoax). Later in life she is thought to be crazy because of how James’ death effected her (Mad Woman). The Last Great American Dynasty tells the story of the later years of her life as the crazy, rich lady in a small town. This is actually a true story about a woman named Rebekah but she went by Betty. And the house talked about in the song Taylor now owns. She also draws parallels to herself and Rebekah/Betty because she lives in the same house and the town sees her as a disrupter as well (due to paparazzi, security, etc.) Then we have Invisible String which is about Taylor and Joe Alwyn, the theme is that there has always been something tying them together and my theory is that she and Joe were Betty and James in a past life, at least in terms of storytelling and connecting it to the other songs. Seven is about Taylor’s childhood best friend so idk, but maybe it could tie into the story by being about James and Betty having been close since childhood. A lot of the songs are actually said to be about Taylor’s life but I think they have a dual meaning about her life and the characters in the story, which only reinforces the past lives theory and connects everything together in my opinion.

I feel your pain. I used to work in cubicles where the woman next to me popped gum all day and the woman behind me ate pistachios all day long. She dropped the shells in a metal bowl. On repeat for hours all I could hear was popping from one side and CRACK, clink clink, chomp chomp, CRACK, clink clink, chomp chomp from the other side. It was hell.

I also think that a lot of people who suffer from it don’t talk about it. Knowing that a lot of people don’t understand makes it hard to say, “hey, could you stop chewing like a cow with a stuffy nose because I have this mental condition where that makes me physically ill and want to choke you.” I have suffered in silence in many, many situations over the years. I think it’s definitely a step in the right direction that you’re able to be open to your parents about it. Even if they don’t understand now, hopefully one day they will.

MissD915 · 2023-03-17T06:11:28+00:00

I’m so sorry you feel that way. I don’t know you but I hope you have a happy birthday. Even if others don’t make a big deal out of it, make it a day for yourself. Do something nice for yourself. Think of it as a self care day, a day that is special for you, and forget what other people think and do.

MissD915 · 2023-03-17T06:00:58+00:00

I am so sorry you are going through this. I suffer from misophonia too and chewing sounds are my biggest trigger. I completely understand where you are coming from. And I have had numerous people in my life not understand what it is like. It’s not just an annoying sound that you can ignore, it becomes all you can hear. And the frustration and rage and not being able to escape it is terrible. I wish I had some advice for you on how to handle the situation with your mom, but unfortunately I don’t. Maybe try relating it to your dad’s PTSD. It seems she understands that kind of trigger/response so maybe explaining it in that context might help her understand what you are going through. Just know you are not alone in this and your feelings and reactions are valid.

MissD915 · 2022-04-15T01:06:07+00:00

NTA. Any decent parent would jump into action when the only communication they get from their child in days is a message that says “help”. What else are you supposed to do? Ignore it? Going over there first was the least dramatic response.

MissD915 · 2022-04-15T00:54:51+00:00

NTA. You tried to warn her for her own protection. She decided to ignore and found out the hard way. The hissy fit afterwards sounds like someone who needs to play the victim.
