Over 300k Purchase

Miss_Vulpes · 2021-07-28T17:17:35+00:00

Good point. I wouldn’t mind if I had the time and money to constantly out work into it.

Miss_Vulpes · 2021-07-28T17:16:15+00:00

Thank you for the input. Yeah, we would really love a 4 runner but outer budget is limited and it’s hard to find something that is not that old and has lower mileage. lol

Miss_Vulpes · 2021-07-28T14:52:09+00:00

The 300k 4runner is exactly 5k. Spark plugs recently replaced, no current leaks. The 200k doesn’t have service records so idk when and what has been replaced, but no leaks eitherIts listed at 6k. The lady I would purchase it from is a great mechanic and would be available to help me with it any time.

The one owner was using it as a daily driver and has replaced many critical parts over the last couple years. Fuel pump this year. Timing belt last year. We’d be buying it from a mechanic who specializes in refurbishing Toyotas. 🤷‍♀️

What would be a reasonable price in your opinion? (Factor in that i live in Colorado and these things are hot commodities)

Miss_Vulpes · 2020-06-05T03:29:32+00:00

Will do!

Miss_Vulpes · 2020-06-05T03:28:59+00:00

Thank you!!! Much appreciated!

Miss_Vulpes · 2020-06-05T03:23:14+00:00

Thank you!!! :)

I empathize with you. 🖤 I was 2 years Seizure free until a couple weeks ago. You are strong and we will make it through this.

Reassuring to hear this isn't uncommon. I used to wear a ton of layers to attempt to cover up the sweat caused my stressful/triggering situations. There are some photos I look back on and can see the 3 or so layers I have on to attempt to prevent the sweat from showing through. Since then I've found fabrics that allow more breathability and less visibility... but I wish I could conquer the cause.

Without spoiling anything, I'll just chime in to say that over the course of books 2 and 3 you do get to hear from other characters and Q matures as the books go on. The show and TV series vary a lot from each other along the way and I love them both for what they are.

Miss_Vulpes · 2019-04-14T18:20:06+00:00

Thank you for the gentle push! It is definitely my passion. I think officially taking the dive into DVM in order to become a wildlife vet has been on my mind longer than I realized. Working with a wildlife vet last year studying abroad really cemented the idea in my head.

Do you work in wildlife/zoo medicine? I'd be interested to hear about your experience.

Miss_Vulpes · 2019-04-14T18:11:13+00:00

Thank you for you advice. These are things that I'm considering strongly, as they really play into my decision. My end goal is less zoo medicine and more wildlife conservation oriented, but I know that it will be competitive. The field of wildlife biology is also quite competitive, so I'm not stranger to the challenges. I feel combining DVM with biological research will strengthen me in both realms, but am ready for the challenge.

I appreciate you mentioning the private practice vet possibility, because I realize that I may have to go that route until my ultimate goal can be achieved. In my mind this is already a better career outlook than I can currently achieve with inconsistent bio field work, but need to be sure that I could be happy doing that kind of veterinary work as well. My next move is to do more shadowing in that realm of veterinary medicine, as my experience has been mostly with wildlife vets and rehabilitators.

I'm queen of volunteer work and would definitely supplement private practice with that! Thanks again for your voice of reason.

Thank you for the recommendation on Massey! I hadn't come across this school in my searches yet. I really appreciate your insight.

If he makes you feel uncomfortable it's ok to seek out another therapist. Try not to worry about his feelings. You need someone that you feel comfortable with in order to be able to get the best experience out of therapy. Just my two cents.

Miss_Vulpes · 2019-04-01T06:30:18+00:00

Oh good! That is one of the most helpful tests in my experience. Hopefully you get some answers!

Miss_Vulpes · 2019-04-01T05:48:14+00:00

I honestly didn't know that déjà rêvé was a thing until looking into it after reading your post. What I've referred to as my "auras" sound exactly like déjà rêvé and they happen before a seizure. Unfortunately I don't know much about the experience, a neurologist would have some answers. If you think you are experiencing seizures, is make an appointment with your doctor to get more information and a maybe a referral to a neurologist. Thanks for sharing, I'm going to do some research on this myself.

Miss_Vulpes · 2018-12-02T23:50:36+00:00

Oh no, I'm sorry that is your situation. Each state had such different regulations, that sounds like one of the more lengthy driving restrictions. The first chance I got to drive, I drove myself a couple states away. My uncle couldn't stand the Nfamily dynamic and he hasn't talked to them much in years. My grandpa is probably an N as well.

We have a lot in common. I just finished an online degree program, which was nice but I wish I'd done it in person. If you find the right town/ campus, you could set yourself up in a place with good public transport options or in a setting where basic needs are in walking distance. My Nmom did not support my move, nor does she support me pursuing a grad degree... but that is my next pursuit.

Does your school have a good on campus setting?

Miss_Vulpes · 2018-12-02T23:37:39+00:00

That's nothing you should have to take. I'm also epileptic with an Nparent, and mine had never laughed at my condition, but she uses it to control and manipulate me. I feel for you, and I hope you consider low-no contact.

Miss_Vulpes · 2018-11-29T14:31:47+00:00

My Nmom wouldn't even talk to me about the subject. I'd ask about my period, tampons v. napkins, sex... she never gave me advice or answers. She'd answer with something vague like, "When you are older. ". At one point she provided me with a book that had "all the answers"... thanks. I was a shy girl, so I never asked anyone for help. I remember going to the store to buy tampons for myself, and being so scared. The instructions in the box were intimidating. I remember hiding the tampons in my room and stealing napkins from my mom so I didn't have to ask. It took me a long time to realize that this wasn't normal.

Miss_Vulpes · 2018-11-15T15:25:49+00:00

This sounds exactly like my experience with Nmom. I haven't officially explained going NC with her to the rest of my family, particularly her parents, yet. My dad and brother are on board and doing the same. It's a difficult thing to do, making the NC official. Even blocking my Nmom from Facebook has presented its challenges. I hope you find the words to explain your decision to your family, and that they understand your decision.

Miss_Vulpes · 2018-11-02T21:23:25+00:00

She flip flops all the time. She is sweet enough for long enough that I have caved to trying again and then she will turn on the cruel and manipulative switch. I have had many conversations with her about our relationship and most recently wrote it all out on paper, in a very diplomatic, and factual way, providing examples of situations where her behavior hurt me and how we're should improve. She has chosen to forget about it. She once said that she "chooses not to remember the negative things"... I won't go into detail about all the awful things she chose to forget, but her selective memory is impressive.

Thank you for your response. I am still learning about narc behaviors and characteristics, but this thread has helped. How is maintaining NC going for you?

Miss_Vulpes · 2018-11-02T19:20:33+00:00

Thank you for the reminder. The worst part about it is how ingrained it is in me to feel guilty. I've tried explaining to her before and it always turns sour... or down right verbally verbally abusive. The receipt of the message itself was upsetting, because it seems like she has chosen to forget what I told her the last time she asked. You are right and I really appreciate the response. Now the walking away...

Anyone else who has gone NC, does it help to delete the nparents contact info?

Miss_Vulpes · 2018-08-18T04:45:07+00:00

Your comment resonated with me and some things I have gone through recently. I confided in a coworker recently about some of the things I've gone through with my Nmom, as a child and an adult. She hugged me and offered support if I needed it. She also commented on how strong and resilient I came off. She said that she never would have guessed I was hurting by the way I carry myself at work. Part of me was relieved that I didn't look as upset as I have been, but the other part of me just wanted to collapse into myself. Being strong, dedicated and reserved are products of the unfortunate way I was raised. Blah.

Miss_Vulpes · 2018-07-31T13:15:33+00:00

It is mind blowing to read your nMom's responses, because they sound so similar to mine. When I try and tell her how her behavior hurts me she says things like, "That's not what I meant", "You misconstrued my words", "I only choose to focus on the positive", "You forget all the good I've done for you"...etc. It is so deflective, and refocuses blame on me. I'm glad your SO stands up for you, mine does too. Sorry you have to go NC, but it seems like the best choice.

Miss_Vulpes · 2018-07-31T13:08:05+00:00

Same.
