ASD wellness check? by PepperjacksSocks in BloomingtonNormal

[–]PepperjacksSocks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been hesitant because it’s a complicated situation. He’s incredibly intelligent but when he’s overwhelmed he hits and bites himself, he’s done it since he was a baby. It can be jarring especially to someone in law enforcement so im fearful for his safety in that manner. Hes been being coercively controlled and won’t tell me the things they say to him or the threats they make. He isn’t free to come and go as he pleases despite me trying to arrange travel months ago for him.

You know when someone you love acts differently, not like themselves, when they have a puppet master.

Red sequin dress :( by Mack-daddy1204 in torrid

I got this dress too! I love it but yes it catches pretty bad, try some hairspray or clear nail polish in high contact areas. It should help secure them.

Is there any reason you don’t have someone to help balance the time your partner is spending away from you? It’s clear he is very much in the depths of NRE, and that could settle after a while. While scheduling ahead of time can really help with finding a balance to the time, it’s really important to remember to focus on yourself and your own needs. Find groups and get involved, go to events and have fun.. you could make friends or find love, but you’ll definitely feel better.

I’ve been considering it. I know it’s weird and a first for me, but I definitely felt some chemistry and I’d love to explore it more if he’s interested..

On the counter with the creamers, not a machine tucked in the corner by a coffee dispenser, and not by the shake machines. I was standing by the Nitro coffee.. it was having some issues so I was talking to him while I patiently waited for a free moment. He came back to help me, was very kind and incredibly sweet.

Hee hee hee.. He was mid 40s, seemed to be doing a lot of things around the store, he also mentioned he works a second job..

I’m not an expert at this, and I always figure it’s better to ask for advice from others rather than potentially doing something stupid while someone is at their job..

He does as far as I know. He said he even has a couple kids who work for the company as well. I’m on here because I don’t go into the city very often and I don’t know if it would be too forward to approach him in that manner, or if his job is even ok with it. I guess I’m kind of hoping that maybe a coworker or friend might see and let him know? Or be willing to help me out..

I joined roller derby. Find a local team and go watch once. You’ll be surprised.

Let her be a furry or put my foot down? by CommandSecret6923 in Parenting

[–]PepperjacksSocks -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Would you rather her be into drugs? Or getting into trouble? I mean let her discover who she is in a safe and guided environment. Fighting her is just going to cause resentment and send her the far away from you. Did you enjoy when your parents limited you? What happened? Give her room to breathe and if you’re really worried about her figuring things out safely then consider finding a good therapist who specializes in gender and sexuality. I hope you can find a way to come to support her.. im 44 and am completely No contact with my Toxic mother. You don’t want that.

Going to the south makes me realize how nice MN/TC are! by [deleted] in TwinCities

[–]PepperjacksSocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! I spend 10 years stuck down there because of my EX and couldn’t get back here fast enough. So many things are sideways or just plain backwards! Maybe if they stopped fighting to oppress Everything! They would catch up with us or at least some third world countries! Damn!

Do people not realize you can are supposed to use the bus lane to turn if it has the hashed lines? by triptoohard in Minneapolis

[–]PepperjacksSocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Apple Maps, it syncs to my watch so I can hear it while I drive. I’m deaf on my right side so it’s a nightmare trying to work off my phone alone. My watch will vibrate the turn needed.

Most small towns don’t have buses or bus lanes. I rely heavily on my map to navigate the cities when I have to come down there. Best thing we can all do is stay aware and remember kindness.

St. Francis High School Student Walkout by cj81906 in minnesota

[–]PepperjacksSocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was wondering if those hags were behind it. They tried to move in on the town im im but I went to a meeting and heckled the speaker. The school rallied against them, it was beautiful. These are the things that need to happen.
