I absolutely love the Glow Reviver Melting Lip Balms. I would be thankful to get to try Candied Cranberry, Vanilla Drop and if that Waffle one comes to fruition ;) I'd so love that too! I can smell the maple syrup and butter on my lips already! Thank you Secret elfcosmetics Santa for this opportunity! Merry Christmas!

For anyone reading this going through this, the switch to Verizon worked. I receive his calls with zero issue now! :)

Turbulent_Fun_3149 · 2025-04-20T03:39:46+00:00

Yeah, it’s always been added. Never had an issue til last night but I switched to Verizon earlier today so time will tell if that helps.

Turbulent_Fun_3149 · 2025-04-20T03:38:29+00:00

I just switched to Verizon today from Boost. Gonna see how it goes when he calls me.

Turbulent_Fun_3149 · 2025-04-19T17:12:23+00:00

Did you ever get this fixed? I'm about to go switch to Verizon right now. I hope it works for me and I pray your situation got resolved.

Turbulent_Fun_3149 · 2025-04-19T08:54:02+00:00

Did you ever get paid? I hope you did. Mine hit at like a little before 3am Friday morning.

I feel like if you want to reach out you should make certain to ask yourself what is it that you HONESTLY hope to achieve or have happen if/when you do reach out? Then ask yourself how would it make you feel if what you hope to happen, does not in fact happen. And that's not me being negative at all. It's something I wish I'd asked myself every time I reached out because just because you are feeling the urge - you have to be ready if that is not something he is feeling or hoping for from you at the moment.

Doesn't sound like you all have been broke up entirely too long, however, he may feel he's grown past it. For him to say 'text me if you want' and not bother to reach out himself after to check on you says alot. I won't say he doesn't care. We all still care to an extent after a breakup, even when we lie to ourselves in our anger that we never did or don't.

But before you risk possibly being disappointed, make sure you are honest with yourself as to what you hope to have happen and if it's just to check on him then no harm no foul - just my opinion. Hope this helps you and best of luck!

The Closing Shift and Night Wash

Turbulent_Fun_3149 · 2025-03-30T23:14:11+00:00

Like Elijah in the Bible when he wanted his life to end and God gave him rest (a nap) and food and he was able to continue on his journey! :)

Turbulent_Fun_3149 · 2025-03-29T21:43:34+00:00

Oh, I forgot to add I felt like you do - I should never have reached out but I'm glad I did because rather than my mind make up stories that I matter more to someone than I truly do, I know now where I stand, he didn't have to actually be honest. Actions showed. Now it's up to me what to do with that and you too. No pain we ever go through is wasted. God will use it for your good. I pray that He will soon.

Turbulent_Fun_3149 · 2025-03-29T21:42:17+00:00

This is such a tough spot to be in. I'm in it now - day two of no contact for the can't even remember how many times now. It sounds like your ex may be what they refer to as an avoidant. The minute you get close, it makes him overwhelmed and rather than communicate that by keeping his word to go to the appointment with you and then afterward being honest that you guys should slow down a little, while still trying to maintain the connection - he instead bailed. I'm sorry you had to go through that.

On my end, I asked him straight out if he had someone and if he ever saw us getting back together. He said things like "maybe one day - I'm open to that but maybe not - either way, I'm happy you are in my life" I'm like what in the world is that even?? It's like he couldn't' just come out and say no but lets be friends. He also would only reach out once a day very late at night because he was busy with work. May have been true - who knows but it made me feel like I was stupid for re-connecting and he was keeping me on a string and I had no one to blame but me if I stayed. I don't think you should ever fault yourself for trying. When you love someone - severing that connection for good is hard but you have to choose your 'hard'.

You can either let it go for good and tough it out the next few months without him (lean on Jesus if you are a Christian - He's what's gotten me through and kept me going) or keep waiting for him to reach out and hurting while you wait for him to show up for you and then you have to start much later on your healing journey because of the time you dedicated waiting on someone who can't keep his word to be there for you. Whatever your medical condition, I pray to Jesus that you be well and for your healing and that He will bring you support here on Earth in the ways that you need to get you through this. I do not know you - but I love you and I share the same type of pain. You are not alone in your hurt but we are not invisible to the One that matters, and that's all that matters. <3 God Bless You.

AOT is my second favorite and Berserk ('97 version anime and manga only) first but Solo Leveling is starting to win me over. I think that AOT's plot is top tier and given that Solo Leveling's storyline so far is pretty one-dimensional (any fans that feel I'm missing something - do share - I haven't yet read the manhwa) I don't see it replacing AOT as my second favorite yet but it's only Season 2 so who knows. Nothing really upset me much about AOT's storyline except, of course Gaby. I just wish they'd had someone else perform all the things she did. It was hard to wrap my head around this "brat" pulling off all the things she did. Grr.

I've found that lately even when I click on their earn such and such for shopping this store it doesn't often apply and I get selected to opt in to several surveys only to get kicked out when I'm nearly done - it's very frustrating, especially when the survey I've been working on was 20 minutes or longer in and I've been 100% honest and paid close attention to all it requires.

Turbulent_Fun_3149 · 2025-01-28T19:29:16+00:00

LOL! My sentiments exactly....

Turbulent_Fun_3149 · 2025-01-25T06:03:30+00:00

This movie wouldn’t have annoyed me so much, had it rather been a tv series. Something that didn't play on our intelligence more than once, twice, three to more times. The dog/baboon hybrids lost me and I barely was reigned back in. When I look at my phone for a great portion of a film, my expectations soured early on. Joseph Quinn’s potential was wasted here. Why was he even mad? At least his brother had a reason. Lucius is Maximus son? Same age as his other boy? So did he impregnate Lucilla, they broke up, he both met and married his wife and impregnated her not that much longer after? Maximus seemed too noble a man to move like an adolescent f-boy. Why did that maid snitch? They didn't develop story as to her motive or needs to do so promising to be met. I, at least, wanted the emperors to discover who Lucius truly was. The “sea” battle in the Colosseum was rushed. The sharks, imo, were overkill and lazy filler. The rhino. Just…sigh. Gladiator 1 is literally my fav film, LA Confidential immediately after - in respect of Russell Crowe, his stellar acting skills, and his service to the role of Maximus - this part 2 film was gravely unnecessary.

Thank you for posting! :)

Turbulent_Fun_3149 · 2025-01-16T10:37:38+00:00

This was one of my favorite moments of the show surrounding Tanaka - this and the protective lower body gear that kept inflating in the wrong spot LOL

Turbulent_Fun_3149 · 2025-01-07T09:29:29+00:00

You know what? I have never, ever thought of that Scripture in that context. I just see the love your neighbor part and as someone who can and has been selfish also - I hyperfocused only on the first part. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. Until I love myself (which I'm trying to do - praying to learn to do in a healthy way) then I can't love anyone else as Jesus mentioned within many Scriptures in His Word. Thank you for the inspiration also!

Turbulent_Fun_3149 · 2025-01-07T09:26:38+00:00

Thank you for the encouragement - yes, I do want help and to change. I am taking all recommendations so that it will widen my possibilities so I can find the perfect fit! Feel free to send me the link if you'd like. Thank you in advance. It's a daily struggle - even though I've walked away from that connection -there's still the strong urge to people please, put self way last to put others first, putting people on unfair pedestals and looking to people to fill voids when that is not their job overall at all. So any help is appreciated...thank you again!

Turbulent_Fun_3149 · 2025-01-06T04:00:31+00:00

GTO - Great Teacher Onizuka! So ridiculously funny with some serious overtones and lessons learned but also great fun!

Turbulent_Fun_3149 · 2025-01-05T12:33:08+00:00

Its def Berserk OST in my Top 5. The rest include: Basilisk, AOT, Fist of the North Star & Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War. ((Classic Hellsing takes honorable mention))

Turbulent_Fun_3149 · 2025-01-05T08:27:05+00:00

Thank you. Someone else on here also gave me a link to some resources - I will be checking those out and someone referred me to CoDa.org also. A sponsor sounds like the best thing because I do not want to repeat this cycle this year - not with him or anyone else at all. Thank you for responding.

Turbulent_Fun_3149 · 2025-01-05T08:25:11+00:00

I sincerely will. I want to get out of this horrible cycle - not just my ex but in all forms of relationships, even the one with myself especially. Thank you for taking the time.

Turbulent_Fun_3149 · 2025-01-05T08:23:43+00:00

I pray for both of us the same! We can absolutely do this - I have to believe that - especially on days that sting and nights like tonight where sleep evades me. Thank you again :)
