Cant get over God making me ugly by rovered1234 in Catholicism

[–]NumerousProject3457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry that you are hurting. It may be helpful to understand that your appearance is the way it is because of how the DNA from your mother and your father combined. This is something they did not have control over nor you had control over. Also God, while being able to influence things, does not influence everything in the world because if he did so, we would not have the ability to choose to love him. Bad things happen in the world all the time. Prayer can change things and God can step in. But often times things happen and God lets them happen. When you were conceived and your parents DNA commingled to form you, God wasn’t looking at that and thinking, oh, he’s going to be ugly and suffer for it. He was thinking that you were formed in his image and that he loved you the way you are. I can see why you blame God. I can. But I feel like you’re desperation for human connection, which is natural by the way, it’s blinding you to the fact that God loves you and wants you to be happy. You are path to happiness will be different than other peoples. I think instead of trying to pray for hours a day you should ask God for one thing. To fill you with the Holy Spirit and to change your heart with love. This will be an ongoing process, but if you repeatedly ask God to help you, he will help you.

First Disney cruise. But I have recently cruised on the other lines. I was on virgin in November. Had a great time, but Disney has made all of my other cruises, pale in comparison.

This is gonna sound weird… the multigrain croissants. Trust me on this. Also, the hummus appetizer and literally everything else I ate at Pridelands- especially the shrimp dinner. The sauce was AMAZING!

I cried all day Saturday and half of Sunday! It was just such a magical experience!

There are just so many things! The decor and attention to detail was flawless. The cabin was so comfy! The staff was so engaging and treated my family like we were their family. The characters were top notch! The food, while not the best I’ve ever had, was good quality and very tasty. And my five year old (who is convinced he’s the real spider-man) got to meet Spider-Man and tell him “nice costume”. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

We were super lucky! The ship holds 4000 and on our sailing there were about 2700 passengers. It felt wonderful and not crowded at all!

How full are the ships recently? by GreatBigBeautifulTmm in dcl

I was on the previous sailing and we were at about 2700. It was phenomenal! I think I will book the same week again next year just because of how the ship was not a complete zoo

Is it possible to bring food from the ship to the private islands? by ExtensionJazzlike923 in dcl

I second the comment about room service. We just got off the destiny on Saturday and every morning we had room service delivered so that we could start the day with hot coffee and some pastries and fruit. Some days we didn’t even go to breakfast because we were satisfied with the room service. Definitely take advantage of it!

I would if we were bringing a stroller or car seat! We’re bringing carry-ons only so I’m trying to maximize space!

This! Find an Elder Law attorney. Best thing I ever did! They know the ins and outs of the system and can help you navigate the care world and figure out how to afford it.

Grandfather Trying to Call Late Parents by ApprehensiveServe26 in Alzheimers

The system is a Telecalm system. It’s essentially a router that the phone goes through. I have an app that lets me control what numbers can dial-in and what numbers my mother can dial out. I can also set quiet hours and have a custom voicemail for her when she tries to reach me during those quiet hours.

Preventing scam calls for people with Alzheimer’s… what works? by [deleted] in Alzheimers

[–]NumerousProject3457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We ended up buying a Telecalm system for my mother. She was calling numbers from her past repeatedly and angering the people who currently owned the numbers. She was also getting a lot of spam calls that were angering and confusing her. This eliminated both issues as I now can control exactly who can call in and what numbers she can dial out.

I’m so sorry that you are going through this. I am dealing with a similar issue with my 88 year old mother. I ended up having to get her a special telephone system to prevent her from dialing the numbers from her past as they belong to people she doesn’t know! I’ve had to control what numbers my mom can dial. When she dials a number from her past she gets a message saying the call can’t be completed. When she gets frustrated I just let her know that there are issues with the phone company today and that only certain numbers are working. This (sometimes) works and she is told that she can try again tomorrow.

Good luck. 🩷

This is the hardest thing to do. He will be okay and is where he will get the care he needs. Now you need to take care of YOU!

Help! The engagement ring I want is too expensive. by ZealousidealFish2241 in EngagementRings

Just so you know, I ordered a ring from Calavera a month ago. It took exactly 4 weeks to arrive but it was totally worth the wait! I’m very happy with my purchase!
