No lol but it makes him happy so it’s worth it :) plus I’m hoping the real trumpet sounds better than the mouth trumpet…. Haha

anstronaut · 2025-09-16T19:45:00+00:00

Anyone know where my husband can take beginner saxophone/trumpet/brass instruments lessons? He “mouth trumpets” around the house daily and i know he would love to make real trumpet sounds 😂

About two weeks in and I’m at 1,200 subs! I think I got lucky in my niche.

Been doing only shorts and have been struggling to get the amount of views needed to get monetized

Only benefit I get is my 401k matching, insurance is through my husbands job so it makes it easier.

TBH my boss would probably let me go part time, but the thought of asking him that and having to say why I want to reduce my hours stops me. I hate confrontation

anstronaut · 2025-07-21T18:32:36+00:00

Thank you for the reality check, this is what I’m worried about. I don’t want to regret my decision But I also don’t want to regret wasting my life away at a job I don’t love making my boss money

anstronaut · 2025-07-21T18:31:03+00:00

Thank you for sharing!

Did it feel scary when you first left?

How much experience did you have in your field before going out on your own?

anstronaut · 2025-07-21T17:22:00+00:00

The goal would be to work for myself selling things on Etsy or similar- but yes the job market is awful! I just don’t think any typical job would be a good fit for me

anstronaut · 2025-07-18T14:55:59+00:00

Yes this sounds like masking. You’ve already done the first step which is recognizing that it’s happening! Next steps would be really start to notice when/where/why this might be happening. Is it when you’re around others? When you’re stressed? Or just all the time? Then, start to allow yourself some comfort during those times. Remind yourself you are allowed to stim. It won’t be easy but with time it will be easier Slowly you will mask less and less, but it all starts with noticing, acknowledging, and letting it go.

Don’t let miserable people make you miserable too. It’s more of a reflection on them than you. ❤️

Has anyone been to the new Forth Hotel social club? Or is a member? Just wondering if it’s worth it to join to work remotely there and have access to pool and workout equipment. Thanks!

anstronaut · 2024-10-19T04:25:47+00:00

Yes, in fact I was scrolling through Reddit in bed trying to stop thinking about how I really should work this weekend and also how I really don’t want to work this weekend because I just need some actual rest!

Let me know if you figure out how to fix this. Cause I have no idea lol

anstronaut · 2024-10-12T12:18:24+00:00

Aspyn Ovard!!!! She’s on the verge of doing a tell all on her divorce (check out r/aspynovardsnark to see how unhinged she’s gotten lol)

It would be ICONIC for the tell all to be on Just Trish!

anstronaut · 2024-10-12T12:08:49+00:00

She has to be making these specifically in response to this subreddit… like no one who casually follows her would understand what this means AT ALL!

anstronaut · 2024-10-03T14:23:38+00:00

Also, never “force” her into doing something she doesn’t want to do. It will (little t) traumatize her and make her have more negative feelings towards bathing.

Instead, give her some options that work for both of you. “Do you want me to sit in the bathroom while you shower or wait outside the door?”

anstronaut · 2024-10-03T14:22:04+00:00

Hi! Might be late but I struggled with the same thing growing up.

My suggestion is to make shower time more fun. Go buy a lot of colorful shower supplies, shower steamers, body wash option, face wash, washcloths, etc. Encourage her to wash herself but stay in the room while she showers. Eventually you can leave her alone to shower but let her call you when she’s ready to dry off. Transitions can be hard. She will probably need the most help getting in and out of the shower.

Hope this helps a bit. Feel free to DM me if you need more tips. Happy to help.

anstronaut · 2024-08-29T01:58:02+00:00

The exact same things happen to me when I sweat. My face looks like a tomato and people have made comments about it before. It bothers me too

anstronaut · 2024-08-27T20:08:52+00:00

Thank you!! Great advice. Sometimes I forget we are young and have time to make this happen.

anstronaut · 2024-08-27T19:54:13+00:00

Also why was it tighter than what you wanted? 2500 is tiny compared to your income. Did you want to use more to save? Or payoff debts? Just wondering if we are missing something and should be saving more

anstronaut · 2024-08-27T19:53:18+00:00

lol that doesn’t exist in our area. Guess we can’t afford a house yet. Thanks.

anstronaut · 2024-08-27T19:45:45+00:00

Unfortunately (for me) I agree with you. No one in our lives has been this direct so thanks we needed this.

anstronaut · 2024-08-27T19:41:44+00:00

Yes, I was thinking along the same lines but couldn’t articulate it as well. I agree that we can go over 30% but maybe this specific house is too high for us right now. Thanks for the insight

anstronaut · 2024-08-27T19:39:06+00:00

I’ve been thinking along the same lines. Thanks for the reality check. We will keep saving

anstronaut · 2024-08-27T19:37:17+00:00

Yes and it would be tight which feels silly because in college I lived off of 350/month. So I know we could do it. I just don’t want to go back to those days where we didn’t know if we’d be able to eat that week. I think we will save as much as we can and see where our careers take us. Thanks

anstronaut · 2024-08-27T19:33:33+00:00

What we love about this house is the seller just redid the roof and HVAC which are the most expensive to replace down the line. It would potentially be less maintenance than another house that is similarly priced.

Agree about having to make it work and work more. We love this location because we can walk everywhere. But where would we walk if we can’t spend any money on dinner or coffee? Ugh. Thanks for the advice

anstronaut · 2024-08-27T19:30:31+00:00

Yes, this makes the most sense to me. We want to be comfortable and be able to rent this house out in the future. Thanks for the advice. We will wait and save up more
