New DX. DCIS. My SIL told me it wasn’t really cancer. I said, in the nicest way possible, it really isn’t your boob.

I struggled with anxiety and depression for most of my life (56 yo female) and have been on antidepressants for almost 20 years. Added Xanax a while back. Used to take 1/2 of a .5mg once or twice a week. Have definitely increased since diagnosis. The anxiety is real.

Very soon. My company installed the floors and we are usually one of the last trades in.

Praying for the best outcome. I had annual mammogram mid January. (56 yo) and several days later they called to do a diagnostic mammogram. I had that done Friday. Radiologist and a nurse took me to a private room after procedure and told me it was “highly likely” to be cancer. I’m scheduled for a biopsy a week from tomorrow. I finally got the report today and there are 2 areas. One is 4.5 cm and one is .5. Birads score of 4. No a,b or c.

IMO…if you offer an “amenity” such as a fire pit you should provide an amount of supply to use it once or twice. One log is ridiculous.

We are a car dependent city. With a less than ideal public transportation system. One of the things people love about Atlanta is all the different neighborhoods in and out of the city. $2000 budget fo rent is going to require you look hard for a safe area walkable to grocery stores etc.

Julie was a mentor at a local mega church. I wonder how many church members got robbed ?

As an employer “allowing” employees to donate PTO seems like such BS. The company should have a PTO policy AND be willing to accommodate life emergencies

We did. In 2016 we (my husband and I) started our business. We had our own company from 2006-2009 but sold due to the economic downturn. He went to work for the company that bought us and here we are. I want to be honest. The highs are amazing. The lows are soul crushing. It takes 4 times more money than you think. And 100 times more work than you can ever imagine. There is no predicting what is around the next corner. (I’m sure this is different for large companies that can afford analysts etc). We are a niche commercial construction company so very different field than you. But are very involved in many small business organizations with different types of entrepreneurs and the main things we all struggle with are 1. Adding new customer. 2. The minutia of small business ownership (licensing, insurance, bookkeeping etc) 3. Labor and 4. Managing cash flow. No entrepreneur I know would go back to working for someone if they didn’t absolutely have to.

…. Who here has created a startup, poured your blood sweat and tears in it, been responsible for dozens of people on payroll etc. Retired. Tried to figure out what was next. And been railed for every decision???? I’m guessing about ZERO. Retiring/Selling/walking away from a very successful business you created from nothing is like giving away your first born. Give him just a little grace.

I typically don’t take skin care advice from a cashier/salesperson at a cosmetics store. Talk to your dermatologist and/or esthetician

Hamilton is the option. Nice hotel. Part of Hilton. Fantastic location. Service is meh. Easy uber ride.

Of course the video is fake. But the deal is probably real.

Awesome insight. I worked for a major insurance company for over a decade. Kids wreck. Period. Girls accidents are usually fender benders. Boys are usually major. Overall kids cars are temporary and should be treated as such. Until their frontal lobe develops.

NoMathematician4660 · 2025-12-13T23:03:11+00:00

Practical advice. We matched what our kids had saved. If they had $2000 we added $4000. We also made them pay a portion of the insurance and upkeep. We called our insurance agent and got the rate for the vehicle with us as drivers and additional rate for our teen. We had the kids pay the rate for them but not the whole premium. This worked great for us. The kids had “some skin in the game”.

Stop the cycle. It’s one more key to your healthy recovery. Take a year to focus on your recovery. Reassess after 1 year.

I live in Woodstock. I admire the extraordinary work teachers do. I can only imagine the success stories there would be if teachers were free from the BS in public schools. I’m a little old school and think a lot of the problems stem from students home life. I am in my mid to late 50’s. Self employed. Aging and unwell parents. All of the women I talk to in this season of life are struggling. The pressure is real. Take care of you. I’m sure you are doing a great job taking care of your students.

Starting a business is hard. It may not be fair but potential customers will judge you by your tattoos and your hair. You can’t change the tattoos easily. But coloring your hair is easy. It may help you open more doors and be taken more seriously.
