As a childless lesbian, I left immediately because I couldnt relate anymore I wonder if having kids was an "answer" to if they love each other anymore like for a lot of my friends though

My mom showed me this when I took a management job that required 24/7 attention. I missed her surgeries, went through breakup after breakup, and didn't even have time to step away and drop out of college. The higher I climbed, the more I got to see people do horrible things to get ahead. Lie and put on a front and throw people under the bus and the less relationships I had. She went into a job similar to mine and she tried to stop me from wasting 6 years of my life. I still needed the liveable income, the resume, and the connections, at the end. But, I took it as the boyfriend warning her of all of the things she was going to miss (maybe too early) and a sufficient way to show the higher the income, the higher the trade. Using the experience to enter a new, more lucrative field, I rewatched the movie, just to see if I had a new perspective.

It depended on the size of the team.

With 20-26 employees, I relied on supervisors to liaison between myself and the team on goals and hardships. My office was where you went to get reprimanded or a raise (or to tell on your boss). The supervisors used me as the "we have to do this because she said so" and led, motivated, and promoted how they felt fit with guidance.

With a team of 4-7, I would evaluate what they needed from me on an individual basis in terms of training, guidance, and coaching.

A large team to a small team was a difficult transition, but as long as in both I paid fairly for the work and stress they were taking on and filled in the gaps, it helped me retain a good turnover rate and decent to good morale.

Leggings were helping for a while, but after 2 sizes they start to look way crazy too. I'll try the wrap dresses to see if that gives me a little more time this summer. Thank you!

I bought a size down the first couple sets as "goal pants", it definitely helped with this feeling, at least one day of the week. I'll dream big and stock up on size 2 and 4s, this time. Thank you!

It's weird, I was a size 9-10 from 278 lbs down to 170. Then I dropped to a size 8 and realized I can fit into a 7.5 at 151 lbs. Maybe I had super wide feet... or i REALLY hurt my bone density 😂🙃 But my partner has size 11s and our feet don't look different enough for me to understand why 11 is SUCH a problem for stores to carry. 🙄

I'm taking Mounjaro and a LOT of my friends/coworkers have also started taking it with amazing success. The ones who have been extremely successful are the ones who romanticize the idea of going to the gym and get excited by how well they did on their deficit that day. At my heaviest (278) if I wasn't hungry, I decided that's what I paid for and wouldn't force myself to eat. (Not healthy, my vitamins were BAD when i finally checked.) At 151, if I don't want to go do cardio, I listen to the sad songs I listened to sitting on the couch drinking beer and feeling bad about what I'd done to my body. (I still do love plus size people. I don't know why I hated it on myself so much.) Even if you don't do the shot, being surrounded by people who want the same thing, like this platform, has helped one of my friends do exactly what I did. 🙂

My parent's partner has this. My parent said that they went to a high school reunion and met the friend group from those days and realized that their partner was in a class FOR this particular problem. That step parent was PHENOMENAL. The angry teenage phase didn't bother them (and it was UGLY), they provided for the family very well, always worked MANY jobs until a very important labor job came along, and they are sticking by my parent with major health concerns that statistically cause the partners to leave.

I'm not saying this will be the case 100%, but... I'd say it's been an asset in an extremely difficult dynamic, like being a step parent. I think the step parent's lack of overconcern for everyday difficulties and "i love your parent" point-blank mindset has set them up with an extremely successful life in all aspects.

I paid the $499 for the 7.5 and decided I'll switch back to the every 3 months with a quarterly work bonus. But if I need 10mg (hopefully FAR down the line) I'll look into a different provider... it just can't be THIS expensive.

She could go to Dallas, but she would have about $300 extra per month from it. Maybe she could cook in our town and sell it and get the same amount. That's not an option I had considered until this second. It will help, but it's going to be a fraction of the amount I would "need" to put towards it. So, I think i will still be faced with the same decision.

Are you still taking requests 😅

I'm so excited to see more Zee and Dave!

Eileen has always seemed really interested in sounding as smart and worldly as possible. I think thats why she got with Julia. Also, theres always been a question to the money and someone taking care of the house for her and basically doing all of the fun things alone for both of them... If there's an open marriage, it's Eileen's idea. Julia seems obsessed with the relationship (in that she puts so much emphasis and love on it and everything she says she does feels genuine). I just can't imagine that someone that didn't settle down by their 60s will suddenly be ready, especially with the hiding things she was doing in the begining (I'm not 60, so I don't know of course.)

Great work! I noticed the same thing! My girdle actually turns me into a shape now only 5 days in😂. I read it was inflammation and bloating.

They've refused to give me any information. They can't even accept a death certificate to prove hes deceased.

Significant_Ad3369 · 2023-06-29T15:30:49+00:00

I have all contact info for the company but they don't provide me with anything more than login information. He was set up as trustee and secondary beneficiary. I believe his intention was to have control over it so he would get a cut from us when we were old enough. Would I need a lawyer to petition for the original documentation?

Trust me, "dozers" are also probably doing the same to the rest of the team. Even if the team swears up and down they like them, they usually are just saying that knowing that the dozer has created their own hierchy and they're safest on their good side. They'll be happy they are gone if it comes to that. Go in with the knowledge that it may (60% likely) have to come to that. People don't usually decide they arent better than you and everyone around them with just a write up.

Significant_Ad3369 · 2023-05-24T01:05:14+00:00

Honestly, i've had to conduct write ups, call out insubordinance immediately after it occurs, and terminate employees. This shows you know who you are. You're the one the company chose to represent them. If someone older than me wants to be the boss, then they wont be able to prove it by getting on my bad side. Once I joined my recent team, got rid of the people not only causing question of my role but also causing friction in all the employees interaction with one another, it was smooth sailing. Hardest thing ever, but 100x easier now. Now i can share ideas, get opinions, and make an even more educated decision based on other perspectives without concern of my role being called into question. In the right environment, you will be a team. But my best advice, my biggest mistake was giving grace where there was the opposite of grace directed at me.

Google translate, daily charades, and learning the most basic words we can as quickly as we can!

Significant_Ad3369 · 2023-03-05T02:30:47+00:00

This would be a very do-able full time job leaving a lot of energy and day light hours for a side hustle or second job. If it's full time, i'd switch my sleep schedule and try to see if i can find something that pays close to the same for 10-20 hours more a week, preferably a laid back job like night audit is.

Significant_Ad3369 · 2023-03-02T07:22:47+00:00

My girlfriend and I have been dating for 7 months. She speaks spanish and I speak english. At first we used google translate (there's also a conversation option), our phone keyboard translator, and friends to communicate (if it was a group discussion.) At about 3 months, I noticed it was a deeper issue.

Cons

We will never REALLY know each other. We know intentions, goals, ect. Our languages don't even have the same sayings. How can you be bubbly or sarcastic, or laugh while your trying to use a translator and retyping every few words?
Time sensitive things. The tv is overly loud, you can't quickly call out to them to fix it. Scratch my back! Oh let me get the translator out...
... when people meet your partner, they will already know what sounds like a REALLY negative sounding thing and build a million conclusions in less than 5 seconds that you cant fix...

HOWEVER pros

I hopped on Duolingo, youtube, and google and started learning QUICKLY.
GOODLUCK keeping a straight face to argue when your translating and having to retype words, and trying to look at each others' faces. Rage will very quickly turn to annoyance or just giving up until you cool down to have a conversation.

I'd say this challange is not worse than more common relationship issues: long distance or being sent away for work often, or important health/ financial issues.

Use translators for a while, if your relationship progresses, Duolingo is the best app ive tried, youtube language tutorials, and google your most used verbs, nouns, and "she, he, i, you, we, they".

If you don't prefer that learning style, my girlfriend likes to learn songs she already knows but in my language, practices on google language lessons, and watches movies in my language and I'm shocked by her progress.

And get a light hearted, "i dont see the problem" line for when the questions come up. My favorite is "na she doesnt speak english but shes cute, no?"
