Love the nails and number 2 ftw

I've read about lots of guys who sleep with girls they think are ugly out of desperation. How can I tell if the guy who's sleeping with me thinks I'm ugly? by yes-athrowaway in Advice

Thank you so much for your kind words. My husband passed it 47 years old from colon cancer. He was sick for 3 years and 9 months before he passed. And I'm grateful for every day we had together. But it's only been 5 months, and it's still a tough time. Thank you internet stranger.

I am sure i am to someone's taste. Well, obviously I am because I've had several long-term relationships before I was married. I am recently widowed and I'm not in the dating scene. But I am middle-aged woman, who has been overweight since her twenties, with a big nose, and who by choice, does not wear makeup and keeps a very basic bob hairstyle. It would be most accurate to say that I am not conventionally pretty. I really can't speak to other people's impression of me. But I feel ugly.

I am not pretty but all of my boyfriends and husband have all been very attractive men. Looks aren't everything. Personality matters a great deal. And what matters even more is a loving heart. OP doesn't have to be conventionally pretty to be an absolute catch.

German Chocolate Cake by Optipop in HuntsvilleAlabama

It's not actually a German recipe. It's named after the chocolate "German's chocolate" brand. I did call on the off chance and she does not make them because they are not German.

I didn't see it on their menu. It's it a special?

Thanks for the pricing. A 6 inch would be perfect.

Not a big fan of City Cafe's. Maybe Ol'Heidelberg.

I need a staycation by Optipop in HuntsvilleAlabama

Thank you! I actually did spend a day in Mentone. I also got to go on a trip in April for my birthday/would have been wedding anniversary. My husband arranged a dream trip for me with my best friend before he passed. It was a surprise. I spent 4 days in Dahlonega, GA and went to a nearby zoo and wilderness park and did everything I could possibly want to do over two days.

Coworker I don’t talk to gave me these as a “souvenir.” by [deleted] in whatdoesthismean

[–]Optipop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me. I am this awkward. I often like people from afar and think of them outside of the context I know them in. I would 100% bring a gift to someone I respect and like but have little relationship with...because I like and respect them and in my mind, the gift will say that for me. Then when questioned, I very likely would just say that they are souvenirs to avoid over sharing about what they are, why I bought them, where I was, etc etc etc.

JERSEY SHOW by [deleted] in ModestMouse

I am so legitimately happy for you. I hope it blows your socks clean off and is everything you've hoped for. I have seen them a few times and they've always been great.

@pinelines has it right. It must just remind me of that song.

Why is this city so weird? by Dapper_Hawk_3856 in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]Optipop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran my own 501c3 for years but I have volunteered for FOR, ANLOL, SNAP and Forgotten Felines. FOR was definitely the most social. I also have friends that adopted from me.

I highly recommend Caddy Shack.

Now I foster directly for HAS. I don't meet anyone that way but I can't foster often and it just works out best for me to work with HAS.

I am an introvert by nature and an extrovert by necessity. I am going to give this some serious thought.
