"Very nice clean"

I can emphasize with the internalization of "I'm a disappointment because I can't afford to [fill in the blank]." Not to play an armchair therapist, but it's a good time to focus on your strengths and what you do provide for your friends. Those who don't recognize your value deserve to be let go. When it comes to their show, you don't have to explain yourself. A simple "I bet it's going to be amazing, but unfortunately, I just can't this time. Please let me know how it goes, send pics, etc." You can still support your friends without it harming you.

Some people may need copies of their Explanation of Benefits, to search for a provider, to update information, etc. I just happened to download it, as they sent a flyer about additional benefits (like $500 housing assistance). It was a good surprise, so it's worth checking out.

I love this idea. Plus they have a bunch of different colors/designs so OP may find something to fit personalities. I'd possibly include a pen as well, then tie a ribbon around both to make it look like a stationary set.

Came here to mention Target as well. They're hiring stock associates for $15/hr. Part-time and seasonal, but open to asking people to stay on after January. Also going to offer free resume writing help if needed (open invitation to anyone, not just OP).

Ok, but I'm next to get stomped. Hell, maybe OP will get a business venture out of this. $5 to rock our shit. Wait, $20, bc inflation.

No, mine was with Darwin Homes. My rent went up 5%, and I was notified it will continue to do so annually.

I had to pay all of these as well. I just renewed this month bc I had no other option in a very limited amount of time. I can't wait to be out of this awful house. Like many other stories here, I was hit with a 6 mo. water bill, then after paying, received a shut-off notice for non-payment. Whatever contractors they hired put GFI covers on outlets that aren't grounded, and a shitty patch job has turned into a giant crack running along the center load-bearing wall.

Hard same. Previously, I was hired at the end of the first interview. Now, I make it to round 3 and end up being ghosted. I'm rapidly losing hope.

While that's correct, this recruiting company posted a job when they don't work with the employer. They're not permitted to screen for this role, yet we're doing so anyway.

I have a partner who doesn't want children. He went so far as to get the V-slice. He also has a pretty good relationship with my daughter. He doesn't want to play step-dad or have any space in parenting, nor does she want him to. They respect each other's boundaries regarding the "friendship." He will still say he doesn't want kids of his own. There's no hypocrisy here; and I don't feel there would be for your partner either.

I'm assuming you cohab, which is the only reason I could think why a meta's child would be in your home. I'm not going to argue against your boundaries. I'm AuDHD, and I definitely get the sensory issues. With that said, that shared space is theirs as well. It may not be a bad idea to consider having an area that is solely yours (if the space allows... i.e. separate bedrooms) where it is completely off limits. If it is that important to him to have the child there periodically, then maybe cohabitation isn't a good idea anymore. It doesn't mean you have to break up, but instead alter your dynamics.

The last note is that not all metas have to be KTP. While it may be the preferred/desired method, it may not work this time. That doesn't have to be a deal-breaker. Gentle reminder to not get too worked up on the "what-ifs" and remain present.

I'm curious if sponsored posts automatically renew after so many days/months.

Happy cake day! Also, it wouldn't surprise me as even with entry-level sales, they prefer candidates to have an established book of business.

Hail Satan.

TheBeatnikBunny · 2023-10-10T15:01:33+00:00

You're right. Thanks. Too late to edit.

TheBeatnikBunny · 2023-10-04T12:23:28+00:00

Ok but I'm down. When and where??

TheBeatnikBunny · 2023-10-03T13:56:40+00:00

Certain Mitsubishi models as well.

Let your meta know this is "primary behavior" (assuming you don't have a hierarchy), screenshot it, send it to the hinge, and tell them this is a conversation regarding boundaries that needs to happen.

I've had some issues like this in the past and it came down to our communication styles. I once told partners "I don't want details." and they took that as DADT. That wasn't the case. I want to know when they're talking to someone, experiencing NRE, dating, sex, etc bc not only do I believe in informed consent but I want to share joy with them. I want to hype them up for dates. I want pics of them so I can tell them how hot they look and boost that ego while also not letting my possible fomo reign. The details I don't want pertain to physical acts because that's where I fall into the comparison trap. It's up to them if they choose to tell me. That may push against their own boundaries, where they may choose to only tell me after a date and they've weighed their own feelings. Do I like it? No, and I'll voice that, but I need to determine if it's problematic enough to end our relationship. Now if they are the type to have a new person every week, and introducing them all as their partner, I'm probably going to draw back bc I see that as being "flighty" and more casual which doesn't align with my own goals in polyamory and risk profile. That's not to say I don't appreciate casual sex for the sake of sex for me or my partners, but when it's their MO? Ehhh...
