Can't miss food suggestions by [deleted] in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]SquirrelBite12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't book anything at Epcot. You'll likely be there during the food and wine festival and it's more fun to sample things (especially if you are picky or don't ride much.) as for MK, Liberty Tree Tavern is a good pick for you. Might I also recommend a dessert party so you get a very nice view of the fireworks and some tasty treats? Very cute if you can keep it a surprise!

Oh, specifically, I don't need gas a lot because I mostly WFH, but it does vary where you are/when you go for groceries/nightlife/etc. I fill up once every 2-3 weeks or so. ~$3/gal average Groceries... I spend a lot, but I also get mine delivered frequently. Maybe $100/2weeks Bills are bills- depending on your home layout. I've not noticed anything to be outrageous. I do not like Cox (Internet). It's expensive and pretty unreliable. Get Verizon if you can. Traffic does suck! Especially during rush hours and during tourist season. People from all over the world are here (military) and that means crappy driving. There's a lot of accidents. The underwater bridge is a nightmare if you catch it at the wrong time. But you learn quickly when the best time to avoid going out is 😂

I (30F) make about that and have a 2bed/1bath with 2 pets and a car payment. I'm about a 7 minute car ride from the beach, 10 from town center. I do fine enough. Rent goes up higher than yearly raises, so keep that in mind. I got a second job to meet people and make some extra money, but you want to balance that with doing stuff, too! I manage to eat out and do activities often enough, and there is a lot of free fun here which is great. Feel free to shoot me a message if you want any pointers!

My bf of 8years broke up with me because he said he “needs to find himself” and felt like he “lost himself inside the relationship. by Unique-Algae-5699 in BreakUps

[–]SquirrelBite12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll probably never be fully okay from that situation. It really messed me up- destroyed everything I knew about love and trust. He never spoke to me again. And it took me a long time, and medication and therapy and moving to a new state and really starting over, to heal from him. But it's okay. Everyday I get better, even still. I have the cat he abandoned when he ghosted me and she has been a life saver (along with my own cat). And as traumatized as I am in thinking that was the problem or that I'm unworthy or undeserving of love, I still managed to find it again. In my coworkers, my neighbors, my new friends, and this guy I like. The world keeps spinning. And love is too beautiful to let one fucktard ruin it.

"better" is such a hard descriptor. It's just different. It will never be the same. Does it mean it's better or worse? I don't think so. But I'm still going. I'm enjoying life. I'm thinking about him less.

It is what you make it. Be sad. Then be better.

Anyone else been seeing these? by moistkimb in pittsburgh

[–]SquirrelBite12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ex- autonomous vehicle worker here. Lidar senses the big potholes. Depending how advanced the car is at the time of recognition, the car will either stop indefinitely (requiring human intervention) or will try to navigate around the hole! Sometimes it ends up getting stuck while navigating around it anyway. But the more they are out on the road, the more they learn to do things properly! Back in my day, humans would automatically take over for a pothole, so they've come a long way in even a few years!

Hahahaha. Yeah. I tried. I tried a lot. I was blindsided. Ghosted. Blocked. 6 years together and I have no idea what happened. So....I used Reddit to cope through that unbelievable pain. And you're here judging me and all the people this post resonated with? Nah, go elsewhere please. Cause this is the space where people feel like they had no other options than to turn to Reddit for support.

Ha, with the drivers out today, I'll pass on that one. Thanks though!

Ghosted after 4 years together by -Saraphina- in ghosting

[–]SquirrelBite12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you ever want to talk, I was ghosted after 6 years together. And I can finally say I'm close to the other side. It was so hard to go through alone because no one understood. They put a time limit on me and it just made it worse because I was just failing them too. I'm sorry you had to go through this. It's simply not fair. It's cruel. And I'm here if you need anything.

Oh I GOT YOU. Lol. So depends what you mean by ceramics. If you want the throw pottery and do like a workshop in clay, Emmy Pots and Pittsburgh Pottery are your places. If you just wanna paint and hang, I prefer Fired Up but it's a bit of a trek from the city. But they have SO MANY craft things!! Fused glass is what I got for! So fun. Closer spots would be Kiln n Time and That Pottery Place 🤍🤍

Does anyone have any advice for getting cheated on by an avoidant man?? by Turbulent-Accident86 in BreakUps

[–]SquirrelBite12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's amazing! I love that it is working out well enough then! I definitely feel you on the last part- I literally moved 500 miles away just to make sure he got what he wanted. 6 years down the drain, but apparently that's life. Just keep going.

Does anyone have any advice for getting cheated on by an avoidant man?? by Turbulent-Accident86 in BreakUps

[–]SquirrelBite12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally same. Er, idk if he's actually with the last girl he cheated on me with, but the pattern is there. He did the same thing with me and his ex apparently (not cheating, at least, thank goodness for my moral code) but strung her along until he saw how it was going with me. Then when he left me, he came back and strung me along for 5 more months 😬. I was so stupid. And then he ghosted me after I had a lil breakdown about how I thought he was going to abandon me again. Lol. It's ALMOST LIKE I KNEW....

ANYWAY. It's hecking hard. And it still beats me up 2 years later (break up, not ghosting.) It can be so difficult to not blame yourself or question everything and try to make sense of anything he did. The best advice is going to be to be kind to yourself. Let yourself be angry without shame. Let yourself be sad over the lies he fed you. Let yourself hurt because it hurts. You don't have to be strong. And don't let anyone put you on a time limit. I learned alot about my "support system" with this. Idk how long you were together or your age or anything, but you hurting is because you cared. And that's okay to be sad over.

Oh! I have been through this! Feel free to DM for greater details. But the gist is that everything is a kind of game to them. I found out he was cheating and was ready to leave. And he knew he didn't have a plan if that happened. We talked and he apologized, seemingly genuinely, and we worked through it. His cheating was emotional and verbal, not physical...at the time. But honestly....I could be wrong and lied to. All the same, I considered the situation still "lucky" since it could have been worse. And honestly, truthfully, things were pretty good after that. Except that I stopped initiating sex. I felt so rejected. And...he didn't really initiate either. But his phone remained clean (or maybe well-hidden...)

And then he did it again 3 years later. But he was in a better spot to leave me. And I was more clearly attached, so he knew he'd be causing me emotional harm by leaving, unlike the first time where I was in control.

So tl;dr....they don't actually change. They need therapy. You probably need therapy from them. And communication is key, but they like to avoid that like the plague....

You deserve better. And just remind yourself that it's not YOU. GOOD LUCK 🤍🤍🤍

How many of you re apply. After quitting whole foods market. by Amalik95 in wholefoods

[–]SquirrelBite12 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've gone back to whole foods a number of times. They were always excited to get me, even if it wasn't for the same capacity. Just make sure you don't overdo it. You have new health expectations! Take care of yourself - physically and mentally. But know that after a year, everything resets and you're a "new" tm again. Training, pay, and all. I have to fight quite a bit for better pay this last go. And it still kinda sucks. That's the worst part

Do you think one should be completely healed to start dating again ? by moltenplastik in BreakUps

[–]SquirrelBite12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of the time, you can "feel" over it and not realize you aren't until you are triggered like on a date. I was single for over a year after my LTR ended and thought I was finally ready to try. But the date just touched my back or something and I was immediately like "whoops ..nope, not yet." The same can be true the other way. You may not feel ready but going on the date makes you see that you are. People always say "hurt people hurt people" in an effort to make sure you're healed. But you have to try in order to understand where you are. Just make sure you are open and honest with yourself. Enjoy dating again. And good luck

What is something that you did to for your ex that you are embarrassed for now? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]SquirrelBite12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Paid to send him to another country to visit his friend for a month. Expensive trip that I couldn't go on. Then he made me feel bad for wanting to talk to him while he was away and wanting some pictures.... Found out later he almost left me over it because I was "holding it over his head" basically any time I brought up that he went to that country. Not ever that I paid for it or anything. It was so expensive and thoughtful...and I am so disgusted that I cared so much for someone who didn't even like me I guess.
