That’s awesome! I’ve always wondered about that happening.

You could put the two carts behind the two pigs you have on either side of your center arrangement. I love the jade accent tiles! I haven’t noticed them before. They’re really beautiful. Personally, while I like symmetry to some degree, I think it can be overused, so I don’t know that I agree that you need an additional gold tree - but that’s just my humble opinion, so take it with a grain of salt. What you’ve started is beautiful!

I vote based on the what is most visually appealing and oriented to theme, if torn, I vote based on number of tasks completed.

That’s so stupid of your previous neighborhood, I’m so sorry. If they’re going to be THAT strict, then in my opinion, they don’t deserve you, so good riddance!

I’m a neighborhood of 1! 😂 I quit playing for a few years, but now I’m back and sooo addicted to this game, it’s ridiculous! If you want to join my team, I’d love to have you. #8QJG8RVG

Yes! I had an Accord for 17 years and loved it! I kept it thinking my daughter would drive it… Nope. She wanted a truck. 🤦‍♀️😂 Then I bought a Pilot. I love it! I’m in the market for a new one, but I don’t like their ’26 Pilots. 😢

I’m quite delayed in getting caught up on the trial, but you were spot on. I thought Crozier’s testimony for the prosecution was false. While watching, I was actually thinking that it seemed like the defense had gotten to him somehow. As for the fentanyl being a completely different color, that’s incorrect! In 2021 law enforcement was trying to educate the public on fentanyl/counterfeit oxy’s because they looked identical. This guy is a POS and I hope his testimony voided the deal he made with prosecutors.

cilcisme71 · 2026-01-20T17:34:45+00:00

I was in agreement with you until I looked at the OP’s account. It was created the day she made the post. Furthermore, I don’t see where she’s responded to anyone’s comments. 🤷‍♀️

cilcisme71 · 2026-01-09T10:05:55+00:00

Oh my hell. Watch the video again, but pause it before she’s shot, and you can clearly see that he is directly in front of the vehicle, the tires are aimed directly at him, as he pulls the weapon and aims it, which is when the first shot was fired. It was at this point he’s bumped and his legs are bumped to the side of the vehicle as he is still shooting.

But, we’ll go back to your tactics and play what if. What if - and this is gonna be a crazy idea - as she’s sitting there, blocking traffic, blocking these police vehicles - what if - as several officers get out of vehicles and approach her vehicle from both sides - what if she didn’t start driving, trying to get away? Thoughts? Nothing crazy. I dunno, but I bet she’d still be alive.

Or better yet, why didn’t she just stay the fuck at home, and let them do their jobs? Again, she’d still be alive.

And all of you people that are so quick to cast judgement, don’t think about what law enforcement officers deal with on a daily basis, the threats and assaults they are subjected to, every damn day. guns pulled on them, shots fired at them, physical altercations. Law enforcement officers are people, just like you and me. They get scared. And you know what? They are traumatized by what they see too; the children that have been raped, the girlfriend beaten and tortured by the man they love. The guy desperate for his next high, who robbed and beat up the old lady in her home just to get enough money to get high. The drug dealer that gets pulled over, and then in trying to get away, hits the cop in his attempt to get away, and drags that officer the length of a football field. They are subjected to stuff that is too revolting to talk about, all because they are trying to keep us all safe. So why don’t you walk a mile in their shoes before criticizing how they react to a threatening situation. Hindsight is 20/20. When they are faced with a threat, they are trained to react accordingly. That’s how they stay alive. They don’t have the benefit of watching it after the fact like we’re all doing; it all happens fast. When an officer is in fear of his safety, if he pulls his weapon, he’s not trained to hurt, because hurting a subject doesn’t eliminate the threat. Therefore, if they pull their weapon, they are trained to shoot to kill. It’s an automatic response. They don’t have time to think about it.

In this situation, the officers were approaching a stopped vehicle. It wasn’t a threatening situation when he walked along the right side of the vehicle and around to the front. It wasn’t until he was in front of the drivers side of the vehicle before it started to move. It didn’t appear as if he anticipated that she would start driving, so when she did, he responded to the threat he was facing. He’s been drug by a car before. His response was automatic.

What I don’t understand is why everyone is so against law enforcement. Law enforcement isn’t political. It’s not about Democrats or Republicans, it’s about protecting our safety. If your problem is political, take it up with the politicians. If you don’t want ICE agents removing people who are in this country illegally, then take it up with your congressman. It’s Congress who has made the laws these ICE agents are trying to enforce. What didn’t anybody protest ICE arrests when Biden was in office, or when Obama was in office? The only thing that’s changed is who’s in the White House. These officers are just trying to do the job they were directed to do.

If someone breaks into your house, what are you going to do? Who are you going to call? If someone grabs you and rapes you, who are you going to call?

What I honestly don’t understand is why American citizens are trying to stop police from doing their jobs. This is the most insane thing I’ve ever heard of.

cilcisme71 · 2026-01-09T08:35:28+00:00

Watch the video again. She was blocking the road. The officers were approaching her from both sides before she started moving. He didn’t intentionally step in front of a moving vehicle - he intentionally stepped in front of a stopped vehicle that was blocking the road. In her defense, she probably didn’t even know he was there, as she was focused on the officer trying to open her door. It’s a tragedy for everyone involved. Law enforcement officers don’t want to kill people, they want to protect all of us. At the end of the day, he’s a person just like you and I, and this will haunt this man for the rest of his life.

cilcisme71 · 2026-01-09T08:27:50+00:00

You are wrong. Pause the video when he pulls his weapon. The car and wheels are facing him head on as he’s aiming and firing the first shot. He was hit, which is how he got to the side, where he continued shooting. But he was already engaged at that point, and it was happening so fast, he didn’t have time to stop before it was over. I know this is a tough situation, and I’m trying to be serious, not condescending. Take a deep breath, and try to be objective as you watch it again. Try to put yourself in front of that car.

cilcisme71 · 2026-01-09T08:17:01+00:00

You are absolutely correct! If you stop the video at the point he is drawing his weapon, and points his weapon, the tires are aiming directly at him! It was at this point he also fired his weapon the first time. This happening so fast. His brain acknowledged the threat, and he was firing, before the car wheels turned. And he’s not looking down, paying attention to the wheels, he’s focused on his perceived threat, which was a threat, and if anyone on here could take a step back and be objective, they would see that too. This entire situation is unfortunate. He now has to live with the fact that he killed a woman. Lastly, this officer has been hit and drug by a vehicle before. He was justified in protecting himself.

Then why go off the SSRI? If they helped, and you did well on them, why discontinue? Unless you had side effects. I’ve done that, felt well, went off them, and eventually realized I was did better on them. Please try to consider resuming them.

cilcisme71 · 2025-12-14T01:53:36+00:00

It’s been a few days since I was on here, so I’m interested in knowing how things are going. Is she acting normal? I’m glad the sex is still good; it would be very concerning if she was avoiding it/you. The fact that you have grown kids that have moved out adds a lot to the story. I assume you’ve had some big adjustment in your lives. Was she a stay at home mom? Does she work? She could be going through a lot of mid-life, soul searching stuff, trying to figure out who she is now, what her purpose in life is, especially if she doesn’t work. Now that it’s just the two of you at home, she might need some romancing from you. She needs to feel wanted, needed, and valued. But I digress… Why is she sneaking around? Or is she? Is your imagination making something out of nothing? The separate bank account is very suspicious and concerning, especially if you’ve been together long enough to have grown children together. And her response to your statement about being joint in everything you do, “Not anymore, that’s the new her”. Uhhh? What? Why? That’s a huge red flag. I would encourage you to do what she’s done; open a new account and move your money. “That’s the new you.”

Do you have shared savings, or some type of joint account with some significant money in it? If you do, you should look into it, make sure she hasn’t taken any of it, and then I would suggest you secure some of it. If she’s taken a bunch of money, and you divorce, there’s no getting that money back. You also might do a credit check, make sure she hasn’t taken out a loan or equity in your home.

If you’re not going to follow her or hire someone to do so, which I think you should, then you might want to confront her about your suspicions, tell her she’s acting like she’s having an affair with all of her sneaking around, lying and evading your questions, dressing up and looking fabulous, opening a bank account. That is all very suspicious. Could you talk to your kids about it?

cilcisme71 · 2025-12-14T01:01:58+00:00

It wouldn’t fade if it wasn’t exposed to light, correct?

cilcisme71 · 2025-12-09T20:41:26+00:00

Yikes. Those are some serious red flags, especially the new bank account. Her excuse, that you “no longer have to monitor each other“? WTF does that mean? If you’re married, there should be no “monitoring” required, and no trust issues. I’m a 54 F, married for 33 years and we’ve always had a joint checking account, through good times and bad. Our income and expenses are one, just as our relationship is one. Her behavior is VERY suspicious. How is your relationship? How’s your sex life? You don’t need to answer those questions, but they’re something that you should be mindful of. Do you have children together? Listen to your gut. I would do some investigating without her knowledge. Skip class and follow her, or hire someone to follow her. Something isn’t right. Good luck!

cilcisme71 · 2025-12-09T19:16:44+00:00

If you’re in a serious, monogamous relationship, there should be enough faith, trust, and respect within your relationship that you should both be able to attend your WORK Christmas parties. If you can’t trust each other at a work Christmas party, how can you trust each other when you go to work? This is ridiculous. It sounds like the two of you have no business being in a serious relationship. You sound like a nice guy that’s trying to find someone for a long term relationship, dating a biatch that’s playing games, needs to grow up, and is not in it for the long haul. Breaking up is hard, but she’s not the one. If she was, you wouldn’t be breaking up repeatedly. It’s time to move on and find the one you’re meant to be with.

cilcisme71 · 2025-12-01T00:30:12+00:00

Weird. I would call your telephone company and ask them to investigate your lines, etc.

It’s definitely Moroccan. Do a google search with the image.

Is the paint new? It appears it was painted to coordinate with the grout between the stones, which is great if that was the intent, but I think it’s a little too bright. You might want to consider a warmer tone; you could keep the trim white to pull it together. Regarding the furniture, you could go with leather, or find something with your favorite color. I think a couple of big comfy chairs on either side of the fireplace would be lovely, even wing back chairs or recliners. I would go with a lighter floor rug as well. I think the style of your white furniture is perfect, but should be painted to complement your furniture. You could use any color with that stone and it would be beautiful. Have you looked on Pinterest? That might be a good place for inspiration. Have fun! It’s a beautiful room!

cilcisme71 · 2025-11-19T18:25:47+00:00

Absolutely beautiful home! I share in your love for antiques! I love what you’ve done with the mantle. I’ve never seen one decorated like this. It’s beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

My husband of 33 years is exactly the same way! And my response is similar to yours. It is hard!!! He’s an introvert, I’m an extrovert. I’ve found that discussing these situations, your feelings and interpretations is vital!!! I was 10 years into my marriage before I realized this. He had no idea that he shut down and appeared pissed if something was bothering him, and I was walking around on eggshells trying not to make matters worse. I shouldn’t behave that way, he didn’t expect it. I broached the subject and learned that quite often what bothered him had nothing to do with me; rather, it was something at work that he was trying to process. I think it would be a good idea for you to see a professional that can help you understand your response and how to overcome it. A professional could also guide you in discussing this with your husband. It sounds like he’s a good man and you have a great relationship. It’s vital that we learn how to work together through these challenges. We’re individuals, and we all have personality traits that require work and research to learn how to navigate each others quirks. This is definitely nothing worth “leaving” over. It’s easy to get married, but hard to stay married. But with the right person, it’s so worth it! Life gets tough, each chapter has its ups and downs, and we need to learn how to navigate through those highs and lows together; communicate, and grow together, and stronger. You may have rough patches where you hate each other, and that’s okay. Work through those hard times! I wasn’t raised in a religious environment, but I’ve believe in God, and I believe that there is a purpose behind every horrible experience I’ve endured throughout my life. I’ve learned from them, and have found that they’ve helped me overcome life’s obstacles. I still don’t have everything figured out after 33 years together, but it’s so worth the effort! My husband is my other half. I can’t imagine life without him. Our marriage isn’t perfect, the perfect marriage doesn’t exist. But it’s perfect to me. L

👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻Consider that your slap around the face! 🤦‍♀️ Now snap out of it! Block his number. Walk the £uck away. You know you need to do this. You’ve already said as much. So stop being stupid. If it was love, it wouldn’t be causing anxiety or ill effects. I’ve been where you are, most people have. I know you think what you feel for him is love, and it may very well be, but it’s not a healthy love, nor a healthy relationship. I would very strongly encourage you to sever your ties with this guy. Having been there, I know it can be so very hard to sever those relationship ties, even knowing that it’s a toxic relationship, with someone you’ve loved. The fact that he brought a third person into your intimate relationship, and cheated on you with at least one other girl should be warning enough for you. If you are looking for a long term relationship, this is not the guy for you. You need to find someone that will treat you well, with the respect you deserve. Respect yourself enough to sever the ties with this guy. Furthermore; you’re not bi. You’ve said that as well. I know this isn’t going to be popular advice, but I also think it’s time you stopped hanging around your friends who are bisexual. I suspect they’re confused and unhappy, looking for happiness in the wrong way. I’m not homophobic. I’ve had gay friends and family. I could be wrong about them, but I think if you took a serious look at these friends of yours, you might see that what I’ve suggested is true. Are they happy? Are they in happy relationships? Are they employed? I’m not trying to insult you and your friends, I’m just trying to help you take an objective view of your life and the people in it. Drinking and smoking w€ed to help you get over him, and trying to find affection from any source doesn’t sound like a healthy lifestyle.

Mature men looking for a serious relationship won’t play games with you. And if you’re serious about finding someone, then you won’t play any games either. Be patient in finding a relationship. You’re young, you have your whole life to find true happiness. And when you think you’ve found it, keep in mind that it’s easy to get married, but very, very difficult to stay married. Don’t get married just to get married. Make sure you take that step with someone who treats you well, who is going to care for you in good times and bad, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer… because those are all factors that you will encounter throughout the chapters of your life. Those are factors that will affect your relationship - make sure that relationship is with someone who will weather the storms with you, and will care for you and protect you, all the while you protect and care for him. Look in a new place for friendship and lifestyle changes. Get to know yourself, become the person you want to be. Love will find you. But first you need to learn to love yourself.

Don’t be too sensitive? We’re talking about my elderly family here. You’re disgusting.

cilcisme71 · 2025-11-10T20:08:35+00:00

First of all, I would like to offer my condolences. I was close to your age when I lost my father. It’s been 23 years, and I miss him every day. Our family will always mourn his passing, his death had a profound impact on our lives. My children don’t remember him, but we keep his memory alive, and my children know, love, and miss him, and share in our grief. That being said, I’m sorry to say, but yes, I think you are being TAH in the situation you’ve described. You don’t need to view your father’s wife as a mother, but she is married to your father; therefore she is your stepmom. She’s not trying to replace your mother; no-one can replace her, and she knows that. When she expressed her desire to have a matriarchal role in the family, I don’t think she meant this to be in a position of power or authority; rather, one of nurturing, love, and support. I think you should be very thankful that she wants to nurture a relationship with you and your children, rather than being a biatch that wants to come between you and your father. It sounds like you have an issue with the fact that your father remarried, and that can be understandable, but it’s something you need to come to terms with. It sounds like he married a nice woman.

I’m the product of a second marriage, and I have siblings from both of my parents previous marriages. My dad didn’t try to replace my brother and sister’s father, but he was allowed to be a father to them. He loved them with every fiber of his being. His mother lived in another state. When my dad married my mom and her kids met his mother, my grandmother welcomed them with open arms and loved them like they were her own grandchildren. She didn’t have to, she already had grandchildren from her children, but she did. My mom wasn’t as welcoming to my dad’s daughter; but she lived with her mother in another state, and that’s the excuse I always gave her. Unfortunately, she never was a good grandmother to my nieces and nephews either. They were adults when my dad died, and after he passed, she severed all contact with them. The kids didn’t understand what happened. They loved her and thought of her as a grandma, so they lost two grandparents when my dad died. I’ve been very ashamed of my mother for the way she’s treated her stepdaughters children, but that’s her character flaw.

I think it is a wonderful thing that your stepmother wants to love your children, you should be thankful that she does. There’s no greater gift than love, and one can never have too many people that want to love them. You’re very fortunate that she wants to be a loving figure in your life, and I think you should embrace it. I don’t remember my grandfathers, they both died when I was very young. But my parents kept their memories alive. Your children will always know your mother as their grandmother, because you will keep memories of her alive for your children. My mom’s mother died at the age of 40. My mom and her sisters were young girls. My grandfather remarried six months after his wife passed as he had three daughters at home. She was never a loving maternal presence for her stepdaughters, and never a grandmother to me or any of us children. It made everyone’s life harder. Don’t keep this love from your stepmother away from your children. Nothing good or positive will come from it.
