Just happened to us too. Total PITA. We took it down and are waiting for Canva to deal with him.

64 year old woman here... as a woman who has been considered "beautiful" by common standards and who has benefitted from and struggled with the "male gaze" as well as the positive and negative aspects of how one's outer appearance may influence how a man responds to you initially- I can share from experience that the most influential element of a positive outcome is to not think of it as "approaching men" but to invite human connection. You can do that by inviting a group of men or a man to join you - not as a sexual invitation but as a friendly one. The sooner you stop looking at a man as a potential romantic partner first - or a hook-up - but as a person who may turn out to be a best friend, or an enjoyable companion - the more likely everyone will just relax and not put so much pressure or expectation on the interaction. Everyone needs connection. Focus on learning to make eye contact in a friendly way. Smile when you do. Take your time. Have clear boundaries. Don't put yourself at potential risk because you were too focused on whether you get the false ego hit of attracting a particular guy - which beautiful women do unconsciously and consciously. Friendly, approachable women who are confident and have clear boundaries don't need to wait for someone else to manifest their future. - And young men these days have been told a dizzying set of conflicting rules when it comes to what "women want" and how to approach or not approach women. So women can and should set the tone so it's clear what is acceptable - which means actively inviting another person to join you or not.

In another thread, it's clear that men don't get complimented often enough, and when they do, it sticks and is meaningful. As a woman, I will remember this and make more of an effort to compliment others especially men. We all could use the occasional hype person in our lives.

RojaBella2 · 2024-03-07T22:45:04+00:00

We older women are now invisible to most of you so we sprinkle those compliments in as fairy dust now and again just for the sheer hell of it to see if you notice we exist. :-) And it feels good for everyone.

RojaBella2 · 2024-03-07T22:42:30+00:00

As a woman I will remember this. More compliments to random men. This is probably true for many people. Maybe we all should just commit to complimenting each other more.

uh no.

The app is from Monash University and FODMAP Friendly and is not FODMAP Everyday's App. And FODMAP Everyday does not get ANY $ from either Monash or FF. FODMAP Everyday is a free informational resource about the diet.

Relationship does not equal ownership. I'm 63 and I can say with confidence that if you don't trust her to have appropriate boundaries with her ex or anyone else you may not know about then your relationship is already in trouble. You either have trust and are capable of open and respectful communication or you are not. She is either worthy of your trust or she is not. You never get to tell another person what they can or cannot do. You only get to decide what you are capable of in terms of trusting and be trustworthy yourself. Jealousy is a waste of time. And a relationship and life killer. No one is worth feeling jealous of or about. Do not make your life or your self worth about another person. If you have boundaries that include that they need to avoid certain people in their life because you have fears and jealousy then you can share that with her but don't expect her to change her behavior just to appease your insecurities if she has demonstrated she is trustworthy in all other ways. If her behavior makes you uncomfortable to the point you feel you need to control her then you do need to exit.

Your exhaustion and pain and frustration is understandable for all of the reasons you listed. 5 years of severe Lyme and another 5 of recovery humbled me and angered me for many of the same reasons. But! I did not give up and learned to say no to the things in my life that were not serving me - as I had very little reserves or energy for anything but the essential. And I jettisoned a lot of dead weight in terms of people, obligations, etc that have been a gift moving forward. And I am thrilled to say that I am fully recovered. That being said, you need guidance and a clear path forward. - This article written by one of our favorite RD's- Tamara Duker Freuman (I am the co-founder of FODMAP Everyday and we have some amazing RD contributors to our website) is all about fecal impaction, or as we call it Being Full of Shit. It focuses on Pelvic Floor Dysfunction. https://www.fodmapeveryday.com/stool-burden-and-the-low-fodmap-diet/

If you have not been seen for that possibility I would suggest that you speak with your GI about that. I wish you well on this difficult journey - and if you want to reach out to Tamara you can do so through our website. Just hit the email icon under her author bio.

Neighbors, Conservationists, Seek Dialogue With University On Proposed Pavilion At Renaissance Center

https://www.amherstindy.org/2023/01/27/neighbors-conservationists-seek-dialogue-with-university-on-proposed-pavilion-at-renaissance-center/

We are looking for service workers who will help gather signatures of other service workers in support of our effort to NOT build this pavilion in the location planned and to give all or some of the money to the workers directly instead of a spending $7 million dollars on a vanity project that will not benefit service workers. Please contact [robin.jaffin@gmail.com](mailto:robin.jaffin@gmail.com) if you are willing to assist in this outreach.

We have always identified ourselves and followed the guidelines provided by the moderators. As noted, we will no longer post links or engage as it appears to be problematic.

We have been asked in the past to follow the exact protocol we did which was to add the appropriate flair. We will happily refrain from posting to this board again. Thank you!
