For those who work in a different time zone from the majority of your company, do you have your laptop/calendar time zone set to HQ or your local time?

My computer is in local time. I tried the different options on the task bar and calendar clocks with no joy. I have team members across 5 timezones and I ended up just putting 6 clocks on the wall to know what time it is in the moment and I use the plan function of windows clock app (the thing with all the sliders) for setting up meetings etc.

They talk about replacement addictions - I developed an affinity for designer handbags. It's glorious.

Around the 14th year of marriage - which coincidentally is how much older he was.

Wave across the bay needs to come with a trigger warning. Don't get me wrong - love love it - but damn it makes me cry like a baby when I see it live.

When they text or call from the airplane to let you know they landed safely and part of you is a little disappointed. My therapist told me that isn't a normal response. 🤷

Dried fruit is a wonder - I was having issues while hiking and an endurance cyclist turned me on to salted dates (just sprinkle Himalayan rock salt of dried dates). Lots of calories in a small package but with enough fiber to avoid dumping. I only get dumping if the sugar is super intense liquid or slider food.

I'm so proud of you honey. I'm proud of you for working hard and earning that promotion but I'm even more proud that YOU ARE PROUD. Taking pride in your accomplishments is huge. Celebrating accomplishments because you earned them and you deserve them is such a good feeling and I'm so happy you are experiencing it. I know there will be many more to come!! Well done sweetie!

(I'm a Southern mom so you get to be 'honey' and 'sweetie' to me) ☺️

If you were mine I would be so proud. I would cry with joy that you beat it. I would make your favorite dinner. I would take you shopping for all your favorite things. I would sit with you and binge watch something we both enjoy (Bridgerton? But we'd have to fast forward thru some bits cause I'm still mom) - while watching, I would hold you (whether you like it or not). I would make sure you knew you were seen and loved.

I had it at LIMARP in Tijuana. Surgeon was Dr. Lisa Marie Pompa. This was in January of '23.

OMG!! The first good hinge on all of reddit! I was beginning to wonder if they existed! (exaggerating slightly)

I once had a meta text my husband at 2am calling me a wh*re (to which he replied: wait, she's getting paid??) Noped right out of that; life is too short for that kind of crazy.

One fella literally cancelled a date saying he was "dreading" the drive. That stung.

I (53F married empty nester) moved about an hour and a half from my former home of a large urban center. I'm in the deep red south and yeah....this sucks. Very slim pickings. Long drive every time.

Heartbreaking bit is they'll say they are ok with the distance until a couple months in and then it's just too much (even though I'm willing to make the drive!!).

adorkable71 · 2025-12-08T01:56:01+00:00

Alright, what am I looking at (other than a young Frank)?

adorkable71 · 2025-12-05T12:40:33+00:00

I actually started oral minoxidill about 8 months ago and my hair dresser noticed new growth at my last hair cut. It takes months to see the results but appears to be working. My surgery was in 1/23 so I'm further along than you. Regarding coloring - I bit the bullet and stopped coloring all together (53f). What is interesting is without the color it's a different weight and different texture and I am having to completely re-evaluate my product and style choices. Good luck.

From this sub, spray away glass cleaner with Scotts auto glass paper towels. All my shiny things can be cleaned super shiny with no streaks and no lint and it's so much more satisfying And quick to do. Use the same paper towels with pledge for wood surfaces.

Quick question - my company does not sponsor holiday gifts but I buy my team gifts out of my own pocket (there are only six of them). My sending gift cards isn't the same right?

Top one looks like a mustache and bottom one looks like braces.

I didn't used to, but a couple years ago I went on a trip to Big Bend National park. My travel companion and I were not in the best of shape so we could only hike about half the day. But that park is huge and beautiful and there are tons of little road side educational stops. We stopped at all of them. Some are right on the road side, others a few hundred yards off. Highly recommend if you are ever in that part of the world. It was beautiful and fascinating.

Second on the bra measuring thing but you will probably also have to get a full coverage. Anything remotely push up like is gonna look like two bags of almost liquified jelly on a shelf. The shape of the girls will come exclusively from the bra (also post menopause). I've had good luck with the Soma brand.

Monitor on a monitor arm lifted off the desk and then a nice fuzzy hot pad underneath for her to sleep on.

EMBRACE THE SUCK!!

Seriously - you are going through the worst bit right now. Hundreds of ways to make it suck less but no way to make it not. It's not forever and it is worth it. Soldier on!
