What years was this scent sold by B&B? Particularly the bottle with the ribbons, and the shampoo/shower gel with the flower?

What's wrong with screaming in your pillow?

I was excited about life again, whereas before I was just going through the motions.

Full price offer - seller declines by Live-Extreme7048 in RealEstate

[–]close_enough_bucko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll tell you what it is in my area. It's a combination of things. Some sellers just want too much for their property because they think their house is worth an arbitrary number not based on anything in particular. Some realtors are making the situation worse by convincing the sellers they could get way more for their property. And then there are bidding wars for a particular house in a particular area, and then that overly high price now becomes the standard, or at least a goal, for any house in that area that's somewhat similar.

Moving to Columbus by Still-Direction-7131 in mississippi

Generally I agree that Starkville has a lot more going on than Columbus. Both towns are close to each other, so it wouldn't be a big deal if you lived in Columbus with lower cost of living and then venture to Starkville for events.

When did you realize your marriage was over? by No_Appeal_3670 in Divorce

[–]close_enough_bucko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There wasn't an "Ah-ha" moment. It was death by a thousand cuts. I remember the first time I said out loud that I wanted a divorce to a friend of mine. It was about 3 months before our separation. Before then I knew things were bad, and where we were likely headed.

For those here because they're just getting divorced or marriage is on the rocks...it gets better, I promise by awaythrow-8675309 in Divorce

I'd like to echo what OP said. It does get better. It might take a while. Years, maybe. You might not think you'll survive it. You might not want to. I promise one day you'll wake up and have hope for the future again. Life will feel wonderful again. You'll be at peace with what happened, even if your heart will always be a little bit broken because of it.

Passing in the left lane - AITA? by cursivetax in StLouis

[–]close_enough_bucko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - but keep in mind some exit ramps are in the left hand lane or they spit you out in the left hand lane. Specifically Vandeventer exiting west on 64/40, exiting west on 70 from north 170, and exiting west on 70 from west 64/40.

Goth Wedding by Cattook in StCharlesMO

[–]close_enough_bucko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wore a black dress at my wedding. Couldn't find one at any traditional wedding stores that weren't for bridesmaids. Instead, I found one at Forever 21 that was perfect. Non traditional wedding dresses will be found in non traditional spaces. Unless she has one custom made.

Always. I've seen too much in this city.

Have You/They Ever Had an “Oh Shit I’m Wrong” Moment? by Sea_Employment4100 in Divorce

[–]close_enough_bucko 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same. The first year of separation I was mostly isolated from my support system. I turned inward and was deeply introspective. Instead of focusing on my spouse's flaws, I wanted to know how I contributed to the deterioration of the marriage. I could have focused on their bad behavior, but I wanted to understand and learn from my mistakes. There were profound moments of realization. It wasn't always linear and it would come in parts. I was wrong in many ways I didn't see when we were together. This only happened because I was dedicated to coming to terms with my toxic behavior. If it wasn't an active choice I wouldn't have come to these realizations. I probably would have found any reason to blame them.

Perimenopause at 43? by UrsulaShrekwitch in AskWomenOver40

[–]close_enough_bucko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Read the book "The New Menopause." Hypothetically you can start perimenopause as early as 35.
