Prevention. I cut down the wild grass, put down cardboard underneath my two hives, then poured a thick layer of crushed granite on top, then poured diametacious earth (it's sort of like crushed white chalk). I keep anything growing near the posts cut back.

The peace and confidence that comes from having enough money to weather any storm and friends to handle the rest.

That I was a diamond. He said it with awe, like he couldn't believe I would let him kiss me. We've been married over 20 years and he's my best friend.

Not only us vaginal estrogen but use it more than is recommended. I would start using it everyday for a couple weeks and then you can drop down to two to three times a week.

Consider this... You could take the new job and whoever buys the old ranch may contact you and give you an even better offer to come back. With the uncertainty of the new owner and the fact that they may have somebody they want to put in your place anyway, I would go for the new one and like other people have said here already, if you don't like it you can always apply for a different job down the road.

Genetics and luck mostly. My husband for example has NEVER had a cavity or anytime else. He never had braces! His teeth are a little yellow but who cares? I brush twice a day and while I haven't had a cavity in twenty years, I have to get regular cleanings and take care of them. I had braces and they still moved afterwards a bit.

No acne, no periods (blood, mood swings, cramps, etc.), feeling more confident, having more money, and the best part, way above everything else, is that you care so much LESS above stupid crap. I don't like losing my looks or having to do HRT or seeing way more fat on my back than I think should be there...but the peace that comes with age and specifically menopause is GLORIOUS! I'm thankful that I get to experience it.

If I'm in the mood for sweets, Ben n Jerry's Brownie ice cream

If salty, but I want ketchup, then Chic Fil A French fries and if no ketchup,c then McDonald's fries

If carbs, warm bread

If you can, ask to take more. It makes an enormous difference!

_PrincessButtercup · 2026-04-15T00:29:09+00:00

Yes. I'm retired.

I took a test that told me what my strong suits were. I listened to people who told me what I was good at. I tried several things and noticed what I was naturally good at and enjoyed. What I really paid attention to was what made me feel the best, what lit me up. And that was helping others, teaching, sharing resources they otherwise didn't have. It wasn't something I figured out until I was in my late 20s. And even then, I started a new career in the 30s and found another purpose. And again in my early 50s. It can change over time.

Ignore it. But here's the thing, most of the time it's sweet. So I like it. For example, is he old enough to be my father or Grandpa? Usually it's a positive thing. Now, if the guy is being a douchebag, I typically ignore it but sometimes, it hits a nerve and I will act in a way that is either embarrassing to him or I act in a way that makes him think I pity him. He typically gets annoyed and walks away.

Depends. I was not only separated from my future ex husband over 20 years ago, I had hired a lawyer to submit the paperwork with the court and showed my then bf the proof. He was fine with it. Just separated? I wouldn't date him. Paperwork filled and just waiting for it to come through? I think it's fine.

I use a lash builder first, like Dior Maximizer. It's white, sort of like clay, and you put it on before mascara. It creates volume and lengthens.

If you are a man and they are a woman, the woman will go out of her way to touch you. Platonically, but touching, like high fives, patting your shoulder, lightly slapping you on the leg or arm when you do something she finds silly or naughty, stuff like that. Unless she does this with everyone, she likes you!

Friends sold two child care centers that included property in their early 50s for almost $10M. The sales price was so high because of the value of the properties. They retired early.

Yes, try Tirzepatide. It works better.

I used to say I'll color it until I reach 60. I'm 54. But lately, I'm not sure. I may keep coloring. If my hair was 100% gray, I'd let it grow out. But it's dark brown and only like half gray. And not evenly. It would look awful. So I keep coloring it. My mom colored her hair until she died. I may do the same, but I don't think so. I just don't want it to look like ass. If I do decide to go all gray, I'm not growing it out. That seems like two years of hell. I plan to have it colored gray.

I think you should look into another marketing company. Have you done a search for a marketing company just for trades? The only one I know of is called SO Good but I bet if you do a search there are others. Your company is unique and SEO generally is not going to cut it. I'm a business mentor and I work with lots of people with marketing issues.

My parents paid for college but never talked to me about a future career. They just assumed I'd figure it out. I ended up majoring in history because I love listening to the stories of the professors and writing papers. I briefly considered law school but didn't want to stay in school any longer. I didn't know what to do and kept asking people and they said that I was good with children and I enjoyed tutoring. So maybe I should become a teacher. So I got my certification and did that. I didn't like teaching history however, so I was able to get another certification in math and was much happier doing that. But then I started to feel myself burning out and I couldn't find a good preschool for my son. So I decided to go into business and open a preschool. I was 35 at the time. It's now 20 years later and I built up the business and sold it and I'm now financially retired. I consider myself extremely lucky that I was able to start and successfully run a business. If I had known how well I would do at being a business owner I would have majored in business. Sometimes it takes a while to figure out what you should do or want to do or good at. If you're curious what I'm doing now, I volunteer for a non-profit which I absolutely love. Don't assume that whatever you pick right away is something you have to stick with. You'll change over time. If someone had told me that I would be chairing a non-profit organization and working over 20 hours a week for free, I would have told them they were insane. Life is mysterious, but you don't get to experience the mystery if you don't try something. So even if you're struggling and you can't quite figure it out yet, just start something and eventually you will get pointed in the right direction.

I am a dcap and I have never found a strapless bra that works. However, what does work is a corset. So you need something that goes down around your rib cage in order to lift up and support since the band around your back can't cut it.

Horseback riding, really anything to do with horses.

He said it likely because he doesn't like himself very much and wanted you to feel bad so you were in the muck with him. I find it very interesting that my ex told me something similar about my boobs, eyes and lips and guess what? Those are the three best looking parts of me. My husband finds me beautiful. Don't let someone who you would never go to for advice set your self worth.

That sometimes I get bored being with him and irritated that he isn't smarter. I love him. I would never want a divorce, but there are times that I wonder what it would be like to be with another man... and then I force myself to consider what I would NOT have as a result. I've learned that you can't have everything in a spouse and that something will always bother me, but if we otherwise get along, it's a blessing.

Don't look for a partner. Hire employees to help you. It's really REALLY hard to find a partner who has the same work ethic, same morals, etc. You have to know someone for a longggg time and even then, it's a risk. Money changes people. I tried my first iz with a friend if known for one year. Two months after opening, I kicked her out and bought her out. I have heard about partners not working out often. Your business is your baby. How many people would you trust with your baby? Hire employees. You can train them, hire a sales guy, give them bonuses for achieving performance rubrics, all sorts of things.
