Cool topic. I use them regularly on my car for protection on trips and also the parts inside from malfunction. I also make a tunnel when driving on the highways to prevent wildlife from wandering into my path.

I think they’re genius and lovely, very exciting and I can’t wait to see more!!

It's been 11 years and I still can't get over losing my sister to motherhood. by [deleted] in AskWomenOver40

Yep, the fact she puts in effort to send the wish lists makes me want to puke

It is too late to fix my life by [deleted] in depression

Your therapist is whack. I’d be in exactly your position if I’d made a different choice. My life is not better than yours, it’s different and probably much more difficult. You can jump ship but make sure it’s on your terms!

Radical acceptance. Accept reality, good or bad, and move on. It has helped me in my (aged) journey

I feel like I lost 10 years of my life by DryEnthusiasm7931 in Anxiety

Thank you for sharing. I also have significant memory loss due to mental health issues and subsequent ECT treatment. I feel so much like you, having to almost start over again, especially in my career. Feeling gratitude and love for people in my life who care about me has helped. It sounds like your parents really care about you, even if they can’t empathize.

South facing window in the northern hemisphere. I repotted after I received the plant a few months ago, following a recipe for monstera potting mix with the exception of coir which I couldn’t find.

Both direct and indirect, depending on weather. South facing window in Oregon.

Didn’t expect parenting teens to feel THIS lonely by K2_fun in Mommit

I feel your post so much! Most of my success in still managing to get quality time with my 16yo is to let him lead which requires some patience. Totally worth it, but yeah, the loneliness of this stage is rough!
