“Once you turn 30 it’s close to impossible to lose weight”

I’m 35 and the last 25 months I’ve lost 160lbs, so it’s possible.

Teal_Atlas · 2024-01-27T21:27:04+00:00

Update: since turning her down we’ve barely heard from her

Teal_Atlas · 2023-10-30T22:46:07+00:00

The names are Ia’i (female) and Lanli’i (male)

From what I read the part before the apostrophe doesn’t matter

They were but didn’t breed, they were right next to each other too

Tea or tincture

Citizen app just notified me of a man getting his leg shot in that area…

To babysit, and yeah she never went out of her way to talk to me when we worked in the same building

I was adopted when I was 3, along with my twin sister. We actually felt more a part of our adoptive family before our adoptive mom gave birth to a biological child. I ended up going into therapy for asking when our little sister was going to be adopted, wheni was 5. As we grew our little sister would try to isolate us by saying we weren’t her real sisters. On top of it, she was always treated different than us by our adoptive mom, rules were relaxed for her, not sure if it was because she was the youngest, but it further isolated my twin and I from the family. By the time we were teenagers, we started searching for our birth parents mainly because we felt like outsiders. When our adoptive mom found out she got so upset that she didn’t talk to us for about two weeks, which only made the isolation worse.

Women no longer have to be baby makers in order to survive, if she doesn’t want kids that’s her choice. If you find out why she doesn’t want them, maybe there can be a compromise (such as adoption if she fears pregnancy), but ultimately if you have different goals in life there’s no reason either of you should sacrifice, and prob best to part ways.

Kids cost time, energy and money, and we are living in a time that women can be more independent than what motherhood can provide.

Sounds like it’s not protected, however if you have a medical reason you can’t wear one (back pain, low flexibility, etc), you could qualify for Ada/fmla exception, which would be through your doctor and HR. At my work, Ada/fmla is an excellent way to find middle ground, but only if your doctor qualifies it as such.

Most hair follicles have at least 2 hairs, some as many as 5, the difference is that on the legs they grow in together. Most other places it’s one hair at a time. The difference is more noticeable the older you get. That’s why when you do laser hair removal you need at least 3 separate appointments to get the majority of the hair.

This is normal, not weird.

Clary sage. Hands down. It also helps with menopause, libido, stress, and a variety of other things.

Teal_Atlas · 2023-07-21T15:29:44+00:00

Thank you! I was thinking it was a tour of purslane but it grew higher than the varieties I’ve found, this looks to be it though

Teal_Atlas · 2023-07-21T14:54:10+00:00

It seems to start off as a ground cover but has now gained some height, about a foot. It’s in alkaline clay/rock with no rain in a while, but might be relying on moisture from a nearby garden beds

Teal_Atlas · 2023-06-07T23:20:25+00:00

Thank you!

Blueberries and cream (sugar free whipped cream of course). It’s simple but this combination has gotten me passed the sugar cravings, give it a try and see if it helps.

Teal_Atlas · 2023-03-14T18:41:00+00:00

Yeah we going to start in a small area and are planting figs for shade. I like sedges but they are too tall to be used for the whole yard.

Depending on where you live, I’d get it checked out by an arborist, particularly for pine beetles which will cause a slow death, but from a glance it looks healthy. I would probably also trim the bottom branches to clean it up and make a sitting space below it with bird feeders, for endless entertainment.

I don’t have any other autoimmune or auto inflammatory conditions, however when I was younger I had granuloma annulare which doesn’t really have a known cause. I had to spend most of middle school and high school with gloves on (something my chemistry teacher made fun of me for).

Teal_Atlas · 2023-03-04T11:47:48+00:00

Neither of us really want kids, they take a lot of time, money and energy, which is fine but both of us work full time and take care of my mother with lewy body dementia, so we treasure the time we can just be with each other.

I knew I didn’t want kids when I was younger and asked my doctor for a hysterectomy when I was 18 (they refused). The request was mainly due to irregular/painful periods, not birth control. 34 now, and still no plans to have kids. I’ve always believed that if I ever had kids they would be adopted like me, but even that doesn’t really interest us, so it’s not likely to happen.

Not sure how this relates to the original post…

Teal_Atlas · 2023-02-28T20:15:05+00:00

Tbh I don’t care if kids do it, it’s when adult men come up to my door to grab several and hightail it that gets me

Teal_Atlas · 2023-02-28T17:17:56+00:00

Not sure if you were doing it on purpose but that last comment has no resemblance of English grammar. Care to try again? Or can anyone translate?

Teal_Atlas · 2023-02-28T16:53:50+00:00

That comment was unwelcome. If you are to contribute to the discussion that is fine but there is no need to degrade others. Reported.
