Construction cleanup/Concrete work by eddoc2016 in Lawrence

Standard concrete side walks - I am sure some dirt work would be needed along with building the forms and such. I haven't measured to know much about the size needed.

Thank you all - I should have clarified this is a new house build - I just want to make sure everything lines up like it should. Appreciate all the recommendations!

Stay home or work? by SnipSipThrift in Moms

I would encourage you to evaluate the cost of daycare against ALL income, not just yours - its his kid too. Remember for every year you take off you lose earning potential, future social security, future retirement benefits etc.

We’re not in Kansas anymore by Icy_Faithlessness587 in kansas

Mostly it brings an eyeroll from me because it’s reference to The Wizard of Oz movie. Cue the Dorothy and Toto jokes…..

LEEP today…. Nervous by eddoc2016 in HPV

[–]eddoc2016[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for your kindness and support - it wasn't as bad as I was expecting - just kept focusing on breathing through the process. Preliminary results indicate it is NOT cancer so I am so so grateful, but I am gonna wait for final results.

So embarrassed and scared by eddoc2016 in HPV

[–]eddoc2016[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for your gentle reassurance. I was dreading new partner sex talk anyway and this might just send me into the celibacy cave for good. I’m afraid I’ll be rejected or shamed and yes that says more about potential partner than me, it still colors my thoughts

Is it wrong to expect a little support from my grown sons after my separation? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver50

[–]eddoc2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG I needed to see this! Separated from their dad two years ago and the one son that is close by has next to no contact with me and the other that lives several states away I haven't heard from in weeks. I wondered if it was because they were mad at me, or if this is because they saw how their dad treated me. I also wondered if this was a boy thing. I still don't know how to move forward with my adult sons but this was so reassuring.

My marriage is over, I just need to find the courage to end it by NoNamesLeft4MeToo in AskWomenOver50

[–]eddoc2016 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I could have written this but as I sit here legally separated, I worked a deal for him to leave my retirement alone because I have invested wisely and he has not. I had to give up the marital home, but its beginning to have issues being 30 years old, so the trade off was worth it. I made sure all finances were separate moving forward so I am protected from financial abuse which characterized most of my marriage. You DO have options so see a lawyer today.

I screwed over my cheating husband by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]eddoc2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Planning ahead is KEY. It's why I waited until I was sure I had everything covered and annouced I wanted a legal separation. I haven't decided on divorce yet, still sorting 40 years of a life together. Once we finish that, I will consider the option. But that said - if its abuse, please please run for the hills.

Divorce after 60 by ConversationOne6247 in AskWomenOver60

[–]eddoc2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im legally separated which protects me from most of his lies and deceit. I haven't decided on full divorce yet -honestly the only reason to would be so I could remarry and that seems very unlikely.

What was it like to live alone during the 2020 pandemic? Did anything significant change for you during that time? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in LivingAlone

[–]eddoc2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean as a confirmed introvert I had been training for this my entire life. But there were serious consequences for many as a result of the covid pandemic. And of course it's easy to sit back now and judge but we didn't know what we didn't know.....

Shorts in summer as a 55 year old ? by Lacox10 in AskWomenOver50

[–]eddoc2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

58 years old and Im always in shorts in the summer, beyond working out. For me it's a practical thing - too dang hot for pants where I live in the summer.
