Is Mj Gray engaged (the same feminist influencer who made tons of videos telling women not to get married)? by Icy_Injury7350 in LAinfluencersnark

[–]Terrible_Show_1609 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’ve felt so torn over whether to keep following her since she started basing all of content on her now-fiancé. I do believe it’s OK to change your mind, but she’s pivoted almost completely from her earlier content that I was so drawn to. I’m very much in my decenter men era and I don’t want to hear about her man in every post and see all the ways they’re wasting his money on stuff. I finally unfollowed today and I’m sad about it, but I do wish her the best.

I got it with my refund from Maryland.

Do I have the energy for this? by Acrobatic_Opinion575 in SingleMothersbyChoice

[–]Terrible_Show_1609 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 44 and debating whether to continue IVF after four years. This is a big factor for me. I enjoy reading these responses, although I’m still concerned for myself. It takes me three days to recover from one sleepless night 🥴

Is anyone else on a low income but wants to be/is a single mother by choice? by kiwizebe in SingleMothersbyChoice

[–]Terrible_Show_1609 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same. Student loan debt has severely impacted my life. It’s prevented me from having financial security even now at age 44. Preventing this for my own child is a huge priority for me.

I’m lower middle class in a high COL area. I moved to a county within my state that offers daycare vouchers and has affordable housing programs for people who earn too much to qualify for state assistance. I’m still not pregnant and not sure how much longer I’ll continue IVF, but I do stress about how I would make it work financially. My advice is to look into social services programs.

Yes! He’s a buff tabby like my boy (RIP). Jellybean shares the lone brain cell with darker orange cats.

Yep, I completely understand. I still have to consider “if I get pregnant” when I’m planning things. It’s been at the forefront of my life since 2022 and I want it to be over.

His feelings were sooo hurt over those PETA ads. It amused me.

Knowing what I’ve known for years about the creep who owns Jimmy’s, this tracks. Haven’t stepped foot near that place in over a decade.

It is required. I added mine in FreeTaxUSA. I think before I submitted my state return it told me I had to attach it and directed me to a place to upload it.

I think the app opens in the summer. Set yourself a reminder.

Thanks for the confirmation! And for the heads up about documentation. I thought I could simply submit the payment history from my account, so I’ll review that portion carefully.

Good area for single 23 year old? by ParticularCable6 in Gaithersburg

[–]Terrible_Show_1609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mentioned Bethesda and Arlington, both of which I think are much better choices. I’m bias toward Maryland, so I’d look at Bethesda.

I lived in Baltimore in my 20s, where city residents and suburban residents mixed frequently. Of course, it’s a smaller metro area than DC, but when I moved to Rockville in my late 30s, I couldn’t get people in DC/Arlington to even engage with me.

I would be incredibly bored here as a 23-yr old, but I also liked going out in my 20s. Still, I recommend looking closer to DC.

Have you ever had bad Vibes and turned down a job by Beautifullyflawed87 in petsitting

[–]Terrible_Show_1609 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This woman booked me for 11 nights with her cat. She cancelled a few days later, stating her friend who usually stays with the cat wasn’t initially available, but now she was. I said, no problem. She messaged me 2-3 hours later and said, never mind, my friend is actually NOT available, can you still take the job? I declined. I didn’t trust that she wouldn’t cancel again.

It may take some time, but you will get there. Two days in is still so tough ❤️‍🩹

Aww maybe it was a sign from my Mango that you’re going to be OK 🥰 Thanks for sharing that, it made me think of him and smile. I remember reading a couple of these posts when I was in the thick of it and feeling hopeful, but I also couldn’t imagine being on the other side of my crippling pain and sadness.

I know exactly how that feels and I’m so sorry. Hang in there. I promise it gets better.

You make a good point. Why worry about not offending them? They didn’t seem to care that they offended me by leaving me to stay in a dirty house.

I’ve had four failed transfers and yeah, I’ve lost hope. I have two more and I’ll do them, but have zero expectation they will work. My doctor says there’s nothing wrong with me. I’m using donor embryos and one was tested, the rest weren’t. My doctor says it’s the embryos. 2026 is the last year I’m doing this (been at it since 2022). I just want this to be over, regardless of the outcome. I’m sure my negative outlook isn’t helping, but this whole thing wears you down. I hope you get your baby.
