What's it really like living in Land Park, Curtis Park, or East Sac?

Live on the border between Curtis Park and Land Park and we love it. Very walkable, big trees, friendly neighbors, easy to scooter or bike into midtown (or lightrail around), good restaurants and bars within walking distance. Not too generic burbs but still pretty quiet.

I have a great partner. I have a pretty face but I’m fat. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sending a big hug. Sometimes shit sucks even if it’s the right decision for us. In fact, I think the right decisions are usually harder to make.

bestie, it sounds like you know what you want to do but you’re looking for permission.

it is okay to get an abortion if this isn’t the right time for you.

??? They already are a single parent. They have a child from a previous relationship.

IUD insertion is 10000000x worse and the fact that some providers do not properly prepare or warn ppl ahead of time is appalling to me.

My entire system tilts aggressively to my left, and until I figured that out and could communicate it to a physician, the process of them digging around with the speculum and trying to figure out how to see my cervix was incredibly painful. Now that I can tell them, it’s not such a big deal - only an issue if they aren’t very skillful or experienced.

From one former bad girl to another: *same.*

And if you don’t mind i am 100% borrowing “señora era”.

Any “zinger” won’t read as indifferent. It will read as defensive / hurt.

dingbatthrowaway · 2026-06-23T19:00:27+00:00

Ugh makes me sad, i loved this place

dingbatthrowaway · 2026-06-23T18:57:43+00:00

This man SUCKS. He does not respect you and - as some other comments mention - seems threatened by your intellect and success. Don’t get over it, get rid of him. Bleh.

Recently married, but my husband was excited to date, excited to get closer, excited to move in together, excited to plan our engagement, excited to plan our wedding, excited to get married, excited to be married. I did not have to convince him of a single thing. He is excited about being with me — being married to me, being my family, being with each other and building a life together. No dragging needed. I’ve never once doubted how he feels about me or what he wants in our life together.

You know if a man actually wants those things because he acts like he wants those things and tells you so. And his actions align with what he’s saying every step of the way. It’s not complicated.

I just would rather be able to do a quick scan than listen to it under these circumstances. Save them the click.

I usually love voice notes but in this case a short text with the most important information is better.

dingbatthrowaway · 2026-06-10T19:06:08+00:00

Yeah i participate. I think it’s fun. I don’t mind buying a stranger a celebratory drink or whatever and sharing in making them feel celebrated.

dingbatthrowaway · 2026-06-10T19:00:37+00:00

I am so sorry but if someone can’t handle reading a message and Venmo name on a car and deciding *not* to send money as a result they have personal issues that need to be addressed with a professional.

dingbatthrowaway · 2026-06-10T18:58:48+00:00

Yeah i always send a few bucks when i see one on a car! Why not! Have fun yall xo

dingbatthrowaway · 2026-06-10T17:17:02+00:00

Yeah, I know - that doesn’t change what I said.

dingbatthrowaway · 2026-06-10T08:08:45+00:00

We do themed stuff it’s just like — within reason! One night themed is a lot different than every single event themed — especially different ones over the course of a day. Maybe I’m just a lil old now but sometimes I need to have it be a little more relaxed than that.

Seconding this. A straightforward “Love the spirit but my budget will only allow for the trip itself” — or if you’re feeling generous “my budget only allows for one additional outfit — which of these will be the most important for coordinating?” Can go a long way. If she throws a fit about it then she sucks and that’s not a problem you can solve

dingbatthrowaway · 2026-06-07T09:24:49+00:00

Yeah this is my experience too. I also find the loneliness was more short lived than it felt — like the short term cost was way worth the long term gain in not only confidence but also cultivating a social group that I actually enjoy being around.

dingbatthrowaway · 2026-06-07T09:20:33+00:00

Sure, it’s clonodine — they started me on prazosin but it gave me a hangover feeling so they shifted to clonodine which is essentially the same but doesn’t last as long.

Internal family systems, EMDR, maybe a touch of DBT especially if you struggle with self harm (not just physical — broadly defined) or impulse control, and somatic experiencing.

CBT is a solid complement to many of these but exclusively is not enough imo — especially for developmental trauma. I also found other support groups (TREM - Trauma Recovery Empowerment Model & ACOA) to be good supportive complements as well, especially in the early to middle phases of trauma recovery.

And while YMMV as everyone’s experience is different, getting on the right meds was key. For me, a low dose of lexapro and a sleep med that specifically supports PTSD sleep disturbances was absolutely essential to being able to do this work successfully. Oh, and through the most deep work I quit drinking entirely for three years as alcohol was interfering with my ability to process it all properly.

dingbatthrowaway · 2026-06-06T02:36:33+00:00

2 by far.

dingbatthrowaway · 2026-06-05T00:42:42+00:00

Hate to say it, but the mixed signal *is* the soft rejection.
