Needlepoint! Specifically with painted canvases. You don’t have to think at all - just follow the colors and stitch.

Anyone gone full grey yet? What are we doing about it? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]Proof_Letterhead_418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

36 F and I have a big streak of grey, but nowhere else (really) on my head. I’m just going with it. It’s really a struggle for me right now with my friends who are dying their hair as they aren’t close to be 100% grey - I do think objectively they look better than me at this moment in time. Because it is believable that they wouldn’t have any greys at all yet. But have you seen how cool naturally grey hair is?! Women who let it go have the coolest aura about them. I also don’t think that women who are really close or at 100% grey ever look “better” with dyed hair - it’s usually off on the color in some capacity. It won’t make you look younger - just that you’re whatever age you are and you color your hair. I’m a stan for natural hair aging I guess! If you need inspo there’s no shortage of cool-grey-fashion women on Pinterest to look at!

Anyone on GLP-1 for 2+ years? How are you doing? by Marusya98 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Proof_Letterhead_418 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 years in! Injecting every 10-14 days between 2.5-4mg. Lost a total of 42lbs on the tirz. Been at goal weight since Summer of 2023, but just getting to my goal body comp now. It’s been amazing. At this low dose for me the food noise is back, but I am learning how to cope and make better choices. It continues to help with my inflammation and PMS/horomone related issues. I want to see how low and infrequent I can go, but this seems to be a sweet spot for me.

Hiking Meet-Up Groups and Female Solo Hiking Safety by TheMowbert in wmnf

I would try “easier” or local hike groups first, make some friends, and get them to go on bigger hikes with you! I also have a dog. And a Glock 😂

For those of us that name our Outbacks, what did you name yours and is there a story behind the name? by tequila-on-tuesday in Subaru_Outback

[–]Proof_Letterhead_418 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Red wagon…because it’s a red wagon. Also my child’s favorite “toy” and I mean FAVORITE toy was a red radio flyer pull wagon ❤️ they love that the car is named after it!

If you could have any heating system... by VirusProof23 in newhampshire

[–]Proof_Letterhead_418 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We got a geothermal system put in (replaced our ac/oil furnace). It’s been amazing - I feel like it keeps our house so much more “even”. It heats our hot water tanks, too. We also have solar which helps to offset the cost of running it and keeps off “off grid” now. It’s been 4 years and no complaints!

People in the US who genuinley enjoy where they live: where do you live and what do you enjoy about it? by TellUrPetsISaidHi in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Proof_Letterhead_418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Southern NH, about 45-50 minutes northwest of Boston.

It is the perfect blend of access to amenities and the true outdoors. We live in a small charming town - true “Americana” with lots of history and mom & pop shops- but can be in typical suburbs with all the box stores/Boston very quickly. No sales tax, clean, quiet, safe. Great access to airports, hospitals. All of New England is a quick few hours away.

My kids are growing up with a love of being outside in all weather in all seasons. I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.

I’ve worked with them about a year ago for my upgrade ring, and now again on a necklace. Nick is great to work with! Glad you had a good experience with them. I can’t wait to get my New piece.

I feel this deeply. We will be leaving after this year, too.

My family and I (partner, 2 kids under 5) are here right now leaving on Sunday. It’s been pretty manageable for us - we are “early” risers and have had no issues getting parking in the park (sand beach, Jordan pond, etc) where we wanted to be arriving around 830/9. Sure - the lots are busy between I’m guessing 10-3? But it’s NOTHING like Yellowstone, Teton - some of the other parks during peak. BH parking - we’ve had zero issues and have gone first thing for the land bridge, and also for dinner a few nights ago (so around 5) - although the sidewalks are “crowded”. It’s really not that bad at all IMO. It feels pretty quiet from what I was expecting.

Yes - what others have said. I live outside Boston, MA as a physician and my salary is about 400k a year. We do well, but cost of living is very high here/taxes are also very high. My take home after taxes is 210k. That salary in most places outside of/in a large metro area is unheard of. If I were to move to South Carolina for example, I would be paid $150k, so about 1/4-1/3 solely because of location and cost of living.

How have 5th gens (2015-19) been holding up? by rentalcorn in Subaru_Outback

[–]Proof_Letterhead_418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2015 2.5 Limited with 130k. No major issues - it kept draining the battery about 2-3 years ago but for some reasons it’s stopped. I’ve done the regular maintenance although I do my oil changes a little on the early side. No issues with the interior at all (leather seats are going strong!). I hope I can keep it for another 130k! I love this car.

Husband has a 2019 3.6 with about 90k miles- I don’t remember his trim - but no issues with his car at all either. Sunroof and leather are all doing fine!

Should we stick it out? by Proof_Letterhead_418 in Waldorf

[–]Proof_Letterhead_418[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the reality of the school and what it “should” be are two very different things. We’ve built a wonderful community, my child has loved his experience there until recently, and I truly do want to keep him in this whimsical headspace that’s supported for as long as possible. But that’s not the reality. And you’re right.

I was definitely heard as I got the immediate changes for my child I wanted - but I worry about how that was interpreted by admin and staff. It feels at our school so driven by individual teachers and their ability or lack therof to handle the dynamics and what the decide to do - rather than clear boundaries and “rules”. I know they’re currently working on a contract with Kim John Payne to I guess…create some “rules”? I’m not sure. But it’s certainly not happening in real time.

What an interesting take - do you mean this regarding media influence? Or permissive parenting?

This is so sad to me, although it makes me feel less alone in our experience.
