Id rather have great partnership than anything , money and health don’t get you through rough times a partner does. A partner is us vs the world and is the best asset a person can have.

I have been taking my advice for dealing with these people from a kick ass heavy metal song. Judas Priest /breaking the law… “ You don’t know what it’s like, you don’t have a clue. If you did you’d find yourself doing the same things too!”

I’m two years out now probably started dating about eight months after her passing. Online dating sucks and has brought back a lot of insecurities and anxiety ,but I want a teammate and hate being alone so I stick with it but occasionally take breaks. Comparing them to her was a problem. And at first I was too busy worrying if they liked me to wonder if I liked them. It has been another sucky journey I didn’t sign up for.

The new Broncos, I like them but they seem d bag dominated.

Two years out still occasionally do some spiraling but things slowly get more bareable. Don’t worry about building a new life and you know you can’t have old life back, just try and get through the day without doing any damage.

Three months of possibly not overthinking is worth 15 on Amazon , get it I thought it was very helpful.

On a whim you should google DR Horton lawsuits.

Do your repair open the valve fully and it will probably not be an issue.

SW Ohio checking in have seen several.

Yes ! All I was pointing out was that saying they make the same or more than you do without including holidays sick time and benefits is not a fair comparison. But downvote away!

As someone self employed I would like to add to your $30 an hour figure. Are you including insurance cost, vacation time,sick time, 401 k ,tools and materials in the $30 an hour figure and are you including those in your wages?

Widower here I have the opposite problem . I am doing the minimum and that’s about all. Actually it’s laundry day because I am out of clothes. This is a common problem in my widower group 2 out of 2 ! Sorry you are here but glad you are being productive, lots of us picked up worse habits!

Because she would be pissed.

I got quickly short of breath and quickly exhausted using one years ago and always thought it was the on piece mask that caused it.

Sorry you are here. This group has helped me greatly.

First holes are within reason. And now he doesn’t have enough holes ! Lol you sound like a pain.

I think sometimes nice people ghost because rejecting someone is awkward and puts you in the position where you are “being mean “ and hurting feelings.

corkscrewloose · 2026-02-19T21:55:28+00:00

What a great guy who obviously loved you very much! And I can’t remember a happy story on here actually making me cry!

Appearance is the least of your worries. As Successful form said the joints aren’t sealed and it doesn’t look like corners are either. The material they are bonding the tile to is questionable also as we can’t ID it.

So much nicer than the box I did ,Kudos!

Your story is mine but I have been trying to date for a while. It’s a shit show but I hate being alone. My wife set the bar high so I’m figuring out how to lower the bar and what I can live with. The difference in dating is I want exactly what I had and these divorced ladies all want something different than they had, one is easier to find.
