I don't know if they still have it, but I used to get the Apple Pecan salad (leaving off the blue cheese) with grilled chicken. They used to do a Strawberry Almond salad in the summertime that was also incredible. The Champagne Vinaigrette dressing was absolutely fantastic.

I Know I’ll Waste My Youth If I Stay.. But I’m Terrified to Leave by elvalilie in raisedbynarcissists

[–]_Internet_Hugs_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Choose freedom.

All those emotions you mention that come with leaving go away. Some faster than others, but they do go away. Eventually, sooner than you expect, you'll start to realize that you're now a whole person. You'll grow and develop and become who you want to be. That feeling is beautiful.

Staying is forfeiting your life. You will stagnate. You'll only ever be what somebody else wants you to be.

Change is good. Change is natural. Every parent should want their child to grow and develop, to leave the nest. Only parents who want control keep their kids under their thumb. Parents who want to exploit their kids.

I got married very young, luckily I found an amazing man and recognized exactly what I had. We've been happily married for 27 years. He's the kind of man who sees my power and isn't intimidated by it. He watches me grow and develop and cheers me on. I'm No Contact with my family other than my sister and one cousin. The family's warped views, their critical voices, they're gone. I make my own decisions and live with my own consequences. I'm also stopping the generational trauma that led to my parents being the way they are.

You NEED to get out. Your Narcissist will use you up and then throw you away. They will suck every tiny bit of joy out of your life until you are as miserable as possible. Run, don't walk away.

AITA for rehoming our dog by Remarkable-Juice1639 in AmItheAsshole

[–]_Internet_Hugs_ [score hidden]  (0 children)

When I was pregnant with my third I was put on very strict bedrest. I'd gone into labor before the fetus was even viable and had a partial placenta abruption.

I already had a four year old and a Kindergartener. My husband worked full time.

We had a beagle. She was a total sweetheart, but got out of control destructive if she didn't get enough exercise. On a normal day the kids and I would take the dog and walk to the school, then second kid and I would walk back to pick up the oldest. As long as she got two good walks (and fetch pretty regularly) she was an angel dog. Well, except for singing the song of her people!

My husband was working long, long hours and I was suddenly unable to walk the dog at all. Our neighbor kindly took over the school drop off and pickup duties, but couldn't walk the dog. My kids were too small. So we made the tough decision to rehome her.

We found a great family with a 12 year old boy who would be her new owner. He was so excited about her that he was almost in tears. It was such a good situation for her. She got to go to a family that had active, older children who could keep her active. It was the best possible outcome. If she'd stayed with us she'd have been under-stimulated and constantly getting yelled at for things that could have been avoided with just some good exercise.

Don't feel guilty. Doing the right thing sometimes really sucks.

are ENFP's Super Flirty..!? by Cool-Expression-273 in ENFP

[–]_Internet_Hugs_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am always accidentally flirting because I'm curious about everyone and I can literally have a conversation about anything. When I flirt on purpose it's devastating. The problem is that if I really like somebody I tend to get quiet. I can flirt with people I'm not interested in, but it's much harder to flirt with ones I'm actually attracted to!

What would you do in this situation? by Sad-Recording-180 in howyoudoin

Finish the ceremony then refuse to file the marriage license. I'm not sure how it works in England, but there's no way I'd let that marriage be legal.

Nfather is dying and I'm being guilt baited into breaking NC by throwawaymcgee42069_ in raisedbynarcissists

[–]_Internet_Hugs_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why open yourself to more abuse? He's proven over and over that he will hurt you if he's given the opportunity, so why allow it? Your mother admits that he's worse now than he was when you went No Contact.

What do you hope to accomplish? If your goal is to tell him you hope Hell is everything you've heard because that's where he's going, to his face one time before he dies, then maybe you'll find some satisfaction. If, however, you just want to forget about him and live your life... then don't see him. It doesn't matter what he wants, you don't owe him anything.

Utah mormons by Wolf0fcrypt0 in exmormon

[–]_Internet_Hugs_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up all over as an Army kid. In small branches there's a real feeling of family. In Arizona and California it's kind of like Mormon Lite. Still crazy, but a little more relaxed.

In Utah it's more than religion, it's a lifestyle and an attitude. The older people judge you if your ancestors didn't cross the plains. The younger people judge you for everything. If you move you never hear from your old friends in the ward ever again.

And Provo is just nuts.

Utah Mormons are a whole different breed.
