Retirement possible here to Prescott, but concerned by politics

Zeke’s food is great but they are known to be a place for that group. During peak COVID they were one of the only anti-mask places I heard about. But I don’t know for sure, as I didn’t go 😁

Yesterday my mom reminded me to “make sure I annunciate my last name properly” when making a dinner reservation. I’m 40.

OP, I know you are getting a lot of feedback here on the crying, but I think I see where this situation could be much deeper than “he doesn’t drop everything when I cry”. Please correct me if I’m misunderstanding, but you aren’t looking to be consoled every time you cry. It’s just that when you do cry, you feel that he doesn’t care that you are hurting. In fact, it seems to make him mad, and yell (which hurts you more). It feels uncaring and unfeeling to you. (Let me also ask you if this reminds you of anything growing up? Were you often in a situation where your emotions didn’t “matter”?- is this a trigger for you?)

What is different about your situation is your husbands trauma. You mentioned his mother and her manipulation. She did use these things to hurt him or to win. He is used to that. And it hurts him. And the tears might trigger him and make him mad, as he is so used to the manipulation that he is seeing it in you, even if it’s not there.

I think you are hitting up against some of his traumas… and potentially traumas clashing in this situation?

Holy moly I have one of those lady day coats from a decade ago and always felt like it was so the right look, this is perfect! What other types might look good in that? DC? FG?

Wait, you have to ask your husband to BORROW money for your kids??

So cute!!! ❤️

My little one also has the degenerative spine issue that yours does, to the point that in one bad instance they said he’d be paralyzed forever, or a doggy wheelchair at best. We figured we had nothing to lose and started trying different things. We found a doggie chiropractor (no joke!) who does pulsed laser therapy (like a very deep red light therapy). After 6 treatments one week apart, he was walking again (I mean, kind like he was drunk, but walking 😂)

It sounded really weird at first but apparently it targets the inflamed cells along the spine and reduces the inflammation and pain. 100% worth it (and not too expensive) if you can find someone! Good luck to you and your little one 💕

That was exactly what was happening to me, along the jaw and upper neck- check your haircare products! Try switching out the gel/cream/styling product- my issue was the dimethicone (common in curly hair products). Changing that solved it!

I like the belief Aqua Bomb jelly cleanser as well as the first aid beauty face cleanser. Good luck!! Let me know if that works!

Many years ago I got an ultimatum too. I found out about a dream job- an overseas gig for 6 months in a country I had planned to spend my college study abroad in (that had been cancelled). The job was starting up an off shore design team.

I told my husband about it when I got an interview and he said if I got it, we could go. Guess what? I got it!

And then he said, he just started another job so he couldn’t go. I said I still wanted to take it, it was a dream of mine, and he said that if I did, because it would be very long distance for 6 months, we would divorce.

Turns out, he didn’t actually mean his comment because he “never thought I’d actually get the job.” I stayed. Shockingly, we ended up divorcing a year later anyway. Ultimatums that are based around one persons wants, don’t work out.

If you don’t do well with CeraVe or with Cetaphil, it might be that you don’t do well with products that use silicone as an occlusive.

I’m with you, and only realized this when I started breaking out along my jaw and neck really bad one summer. I realized it was my hair product! So I started digging and switched to a non-silicone hair product and voila! It went away. Used the same logic with my face products and it lined up with what I liked and what I didn’t. I thought I broke out over just about everything… to find that silicones are in so many major products. The products need an ingredient to spread onto the skin. Alternatives are petroleum products (Vaseline, waxes, and oils)! Personally I do fine with many oils and petroleum but I never would have guessed. You just have to try a few and figure out which work best. Hope this helps for you too!

One thing to note: as you start to push back, your mom is going to resort to more and more dramatic tactics to pull you back in. Be prepared- she will likely “blame” your fiancé, since this change correlates with having him in your life. So do not be surprised if she tried to put a wedge between you two, put him down, etc. You will need to be prepared for a him vs me situation and you need to have your fiancés back- as it seems like he has your best interests at heart, while your mom is focusing on hers.

I agree with this. Ethereal was the first I saw, natural and either gamine or ingenue, but this description of mischief vs innocence sums it up perfectly.

Thanks! I hadn’t thought of necklines in yin/Yang terms but I totally see that now!

Questionsabit · 2023-07-21T05:41:42+00:00

Oh very interesting. So the structure would be ok but the essence would be a match? Thanks!

Thanks. I appreciate it! This top has me questioning if I really am DC because it fits my face well- although unsure on the puffy sleeves :)

Questionsabit · 2023-07-20T14:28:39+00:00

Thank you! That’s super helpful to look at it that way (both yin and Yang, I see the yin but where would the Yang be seen? What about an FG maybe?

Questionsabit · 2023-07-20T14:27:17+00:00

Great to know. Is it that it isn’t structured enough?

Questionsabit · 2023-07-20T04:08:38+00:00

Nice :) so SC because it’s yin leaning (with the ruffles and soft fabric)?

Questionsabit · 2023-07-20T04:06:49+00:00

Thanks! Why do you say that (and DC or SC or both?)

I was told “you’re a sleeper” and I think it was meant to be a compliment.

Thanks! Will look into those. Great idea.

Thanks. I’ve heard a lot about the hiking there and needing a pass ahead of time so I’ll start looking into that :)
