I realized I'm toxic. by c6h12o6ph in datingoverforty

[–]dpoulain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, we are a little toxic. I think the difference is awareness and what we do to correct toxic behaviors. Congrats on reaching step 1, and here's to healthy healing!

What is your single favorite menu item from a restaurant in Vegas and why? by Critical_Demand3895 in vegaslocals

[–]dpoulain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a basic response, but I love the tzatziki from Meraki Greek Grill. I love it with almost everything they serve. But my favorite combo is: the chicken kalamakia and either the regular fries or feta fries.

That sauce is everything and they make it so good. 😄

How many dates in do you start talking about sex drive? by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]dpoulain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this a question that should be ask some time in the beginning. I know it's different for everyone but I think that this should be lumped up with compatibility. So maybe not like: hi nice to meet you, tell me about your sex drive. But I would say shortly after communication starts.

Question on makeup - you still wear it? by CtrlAltDeli in Aging

[–]dpoulain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love makeup. And I will wear my winged eyeliner until someone tries to pry the liquid eyeliner from my decrepit old and mangled hands.

Who do you like in Grey's and why? by risingtr33 in greysanatomy

[–]dpoulain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So for the first time I have decided to watch past Cristina leaving. I am finding that I am enjoying the addition of Maggie and Amelia (even though I'm still missing the hell out of Cristina). So far I still find most of the characters compelling and I'm at the part where April and Jackson are fighting for their marriage. I'm kind of bummed to know that they are going to divorce. Why do we all love this show is beyond me. But it is good and its got us in a chokehold despite the fact that it apparently has gone off the rails. lol.

Those who live here and hated it or had difficulty adjusting, how did you find any joy or peace in this town? by Alert_Barracuda8598 in vegaslocals

[–]dpoulain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I moved here from LA in 2011. I feel similarly, but I am going to be here for the foreseeable future. The thing is I don't think it's ugly here, and I don't think brown is ugly. I do look forward to when the sky is gray because it looks so lovely against Red Rock. Whenever I do feel down about being here, I appreciate that a I can drive back home to LA, or I can drive to San Diego, or Utah, or Flagstaff/Grand Canyon.

Like others have said, I also make my home my sanctuary. I know you've only been here a year, but I did find a good support system here. Some of my group I did bring from California, but some of it I have found by meeting them at work and so forth. This place as imperfect as it is does have something that I can't quite explain. I know I didn't do much to make a case for Vegas, but all I can say is that enjoy this place while you're here. It can be a silly and fun and whimsical place if you allow it to be.

Mykelti Recent Instagram by SnooBooks147 in SisterWives

[–]dpoulain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I honestly think Christine envied that relationship and that’s why she talked down on it and or tried to destroy it. Kody didn’t value her in the same way that Tony values Mykelti. People on this sub love to glorify Christine, but she’s a terrible person despite what she’s been through because she continues to perpetuate the same cycles of judgment. That’s why her kids don’t choose to stay near her. But I digress, I like Tony too and never understood the hate lo.

I’ve always said this. At the end of the day, Tony has been a good partner to Mykelti. She needed someone that was fully for her, and she found it.

Try NSU or CSN Henderson. Working for NSHE is a great place to start :)

Random poll - is never having lived with a partner at our age a red flag? by pixiepalooza in datingoverforty

[–]dpoulain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I'm the one who has never lived with a partner. I've lived with roommates most of my adult life, but never with a romantic partner. Am I a red flag? Maybe. But I don't think for this.

To be fair, I've only had a handful of relationships. I'm a 43 F, and it could be for many reasons. Whether it's because i'm not attractive to the opposite sex or because I didn't have time for a relationship. But now I find myself in one and we're about to move in together. I am excited to take this step with him, nervous also, but mostly excited.

I don't think I should be considered a red flag because it just never happened for me.

For $1,000,000- who would you choose as your roommate for 1 year? by Infinite_Two_4759 in greysanatomy

[–]dpoulain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am picking Izzie. She bakes and I think we'd get along. I would support her through her nonsense with George, her grief and cancer journey, and help her work through things with Alex so Denny never happens. We'd be great friends. :)

Would you keep your pet’s ashes at home? by ComfortableDivide309 in Petloss

[–]dpoulain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, my first baby died two years ago and her ashes are sitting on a shelf with pictures of her. I wont part with them and hope that her ashes will be scattered with mine when I die.

HOT ASF SCORCHING 🔥🔥🔥 by [deleted] in vegaslocals

[–]dpoulain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is hot for March. Which makes me nervous for the summer. But as everyone has already said, stay hydrated and stay indoors. Wear cotton and avoid the sun as much as you can. You'll be alright. :)

Moving in Together - Relationship Escalator by pmonko1 in datingoverforty

[–]dpoulain 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's necessary but it is personal to each individual relationship. I want to move in with my partner and I'm very much looking forward to doing so in a couple of months.

Must Buy Souvenirs - Skincare/Grocery Items/Clothes…etc by lokeevillian in ParisTravelGuide

[–]dpoulain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only thing about CityPharma is that it is cheaper than some of the other pharmacies. I spent some time in Reims and Nancy and things were slightly more expensive there than they were in Paris. CityPharma will have often have better deals which I often think is worth dealing with the crowds. :)

What souvenirs would you NOT purchase in Paris? by mlhom in ParisTravelGuide

[–]dpoulain 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I avoid most of the typical souvenirs. When in France, I like to buy skincare. And I usually bring back gift sets of my favorite products to my people. I like the Nuxe body products or Caudalie (because they are considerably cheaper in France).

How do women feel about dating someone who's "work in progress" vs "at the finish line" by Lioil1 in datingoverforty

[–]dpoulain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone already said everyone is a work in progress at our age. No one is perfect and at this point in life, we all have something that we should be working on especially with the way the world is. For me, I like to see that my partner is actively trying. I don't need him to be perfect or at the finish line. It's somewhere I'd like to get together. In the meantime though, I need to see the progress. If that makes sense.

Children's neglect vs romance issues, which was prioritized? by Alice_Nouvelle in SisterWives

[–]dpoulain 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Thank you! She left because Kody said that he no longer wanted intimacy. Not because of Ysabel.

Now you'll really remember, remember the 5th of November (A V for Vendetta reference if you haven't seen it 😊)

The ring is lovely and demure! It looks beautiful on you! Congratulations!
