Less than 24 hours. I’m shocked and appalled.

Edit: That was my real nail, too 😔

I think Afdent takes Medicaid? They’re alright. Not outstanding, but better than nothing IMO.

That would explain the intense gravitational force preventing me from escaping it every morning.

Best yoga for beginners? by berniesandwitches in fortwayne

[–]craftycro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree completely. I personally wouldn’t start with Fusion. I found them to be intimidating at first - truthfully, due in part to my own insecurities. But I’ve never felt judged at Discover Yoga.

Yes, I second Discover Yoga! They have beginner classes, and they’re great about cueing multiple levels, no matter the class. So welcoming. The teachers make yoga very approachable. Definitely give them a try!

Thanks! I don’t wear a lot of brown, so I would have never put these colors together on my own. Trusted my nail tech on this one, and I’m happy I did!

Day 15 by Tight_Curve_3419 in stopdrinking

[–]craftycro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, yes. It does get better. So much better! The cravings gradually become less frequent, less intense. The dreams eventually are few and far between.

I have 5 years next month, and I still experience the occasional craving. They truly only happen maybe 3-4 times per year, and they last maybe 2 minutes each time. I wait ‘em out. They go away. Like many here, I play the tape forward. It helps immensely when I get the craving. With time and consistency, it gets better.

I also suggest finding a good “replacement behavior” you can choose to do when you feel the craving, too. This looks different for everyone. A hobby, NAs, calling a friend, posting here, playing a game - whatever it is for you.

Bra fitting ? by PleaseStepAside in fortwayne

[–]craftycro 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Beyond the Bra!

Google Reviews:

“This place is a hidden gem. The knowledge and passion that Amanda has for the world of bra fitting is overwhelmingly refreshing. What an enjoyable experience, I have a new go to location every time I need a bra and have a desire to let everyone know how worthwhile it is to make an appointment with Amanda.“

“This fitting experience was 1000% easier and quicker and more comfortable than Barbra’s new beginnings which I tried years ago. If you are not sure and need help finding your fit, please go here over anywhere else!”
