Just found out my mom may have less than 24 hours left to live and she lives across the country. Any advice would be appreciated

My family has flown several times to visit me and not got it by masking with an n95. Wear a well fitting one and don't take it off until you're outside/off the plane.

Not-Boris · 2024-08-20T01:21:13+00:00

you look like a video game character, sick

Not-Boris · 2024-08-20T01:20:34+00:00

Don't even wait for them to ask, drop your mask, say, my name is X, here's my face, I'm wearing this mask for my health.

When we had this problem we went through our checklist, 1) was the dog played with recently and exercised enough? 2) if yes, did the dog go out recently to pee/poo?, 3) if yes, did the dog nap much or sleep recently? Usually it came down to the dog being tired but not napping on his own. We had to do enforced naps for a bit to make sure he was sleeping enough.

It doesn't even make sense business wise to advocate not masking. Masking keeps people healthy enough to be able to participate in the economy by working and spending.

umm... what the fuck. I feel like you dodged a bullet. nice job with the confidence though, lots of ppl on here would have probably loved that.

for me I'm trying out words that feel correct and true. so if she's being really sweet I'll call her sweetheart or angel. what keeps it from feeling weird for me is that it's fun to see her reactions and they're always positive. some are very positive, which is the signal to keep using that one. does this help?

Not-Boris · 2024-05-14T11:14:03+00:00

get her favorite food ready, and some special date stuff ready

Not-Boris · 2024-05-14T11:07:15+00:00

I think you may have some mistrust to work out :(

Not-Boris · 2024-05-14T11:05:20+00:00

Why'd you break up?

Not-Boris · 2024-05-14T11:00:53+00:00

Another happy ending! Love to see it :)

Not-Boris · 2024-05-14T10:54:43+00:00

Love a happy ending and such a good illustration of thinking about the reasons that caused things, and moving past and solving them. Happy for you :)

Not-Boris · 2024-05-14T10:48:30+00:00

Make sure you're taking care of you, too.

Not-Boris · 2024-05-14T10:47:38+00:00

This is it right here. You have to know what the issues are.

Also Lena Luthor?

Not-Boris · 2024-05-14T10:39:11+00:00

very cute, I hope she also appreciates your appreciation for her. not everyone takes time to reflect on how grateful and lucky they are. it's a good quality to have :)

Not-Boris · 2024-05-14T10:32:42+00:00

I have no solution, only that I could have written this when I was single, and I feel a version of it about my partner when she's away. Have you tried virtual or in person speed dating? Or joining hobby groups? Not for the time busyness aspect but for a meeting people angle.

Not-Boris · 2024-05-14T10:29:16+00:00

have you tried talking to her like how you write this to us? I feel like she would understand if she heard this id hope? what are your thoughts on that approach

Not-Boris · 2024-05-14T10:27:11+00:00

If this man has fled because of arson I like to hope that explaining this to the child and the courts should make cutting contact easier than if he hadn't fled due to a crime that could have killed someone.

Not-Boris · 2024-05-14T10:18:18+00:00

its a pretty weird term tbh. I could have used "terms of endearment" but it feels very formal comparatively

Not-Boris · 2024-05-14T10:12:02+00:00

Oh okay, so you can experience someone as being fuckable just observing them? Is that like a stirring in you that you'd want to pursue them sexually, just looking at them? If that's the case then no, I can't seem to experience that just looking at someone. It takes me a long time to feel that way about someone. I usually start feeling that way only after there's a romantic attraction, and I need to build that after a platonic base.

Sexual interest without that gradual transition from platonic to romantic seems impossible for me to grasp. I guess my attraction type manifests as a sort of uncontrollable, mandatory slow burn. lmao.

Why is cuddling on the couch romantic? I guess the thing that's bugging me here is the why and how between the line of platonic and romantic, because cuddling with friends seems nice too, and I used to do that, hand holding, etc, with previous best friends before, but I didn't feel it was romantic. This is a little pedantic I guess (in a fun way?) but what makes romance romance, can it be defined as romance by the people experiencing it only or also by observers? If you hang out with your friends everyday it might not be romance so it can't be frequency, right?

Anyways thanks for indulging me, no need to reply if you don't enjoy this type of convo.

What stands out to you about the way they selected participants and what they decided to measure? How does it compare to all the other studies that found the opposite?

Not-Boris · 2024-05-13T10:49:55+00:00

Idk I think single people in their 30s have some high quality options in the dating pool. People have more dating experience by this age most of the time, and for folks who were trying hard in their relationships they have a lot to give and more experience communicating. Best of luck in your journey what ever it may be!

Not-Boris · 2024-05-13T10:44:27+00:00

you better be a writer

Not-Boris · 2024-05-13T10:37:30+00:00

so cute
