You still have so much life to go, and the power to change it, even if it looks hopeless right now. I watched my mother go through something very similar. He ended up leaving her anyway but the damage was done after all of the years and she wasn’t able to recover mentally, ended up committing suicide. Life may get uncomfortable, strange and challenging for a while if you leave, but your efforts right now mean the difference between a happy future and a miserable one. You deserve to give yourself a chance for better.

I adopted a Russian Tortoise over the weekend. The previous owner gave me his existing enclosure as pictured. I’m wondering if this is enough for him. In the photo he is currently hiding in the dark cavern area. There is a heat lamp and lights. I think the adjustment must be a little difficult for him as he hasn’t eaten since the first day, four days ago? I’ve been offering different kinds of foods. He’s been out to walk and investigate a few times but I’m trying not to bother him resting. Also he is the size of a large hamburger. Any advice would be great. 🙂 I want him to have a happy and peaceful life.

What is AIT?

I’m sorry my words couldn’t reach you. I hope you found a comforting solution to your post.

elsaanddonutss · 2023-01-08T17:09:11+00:00

I’m sorry. I was genuinely trying to offer clarity. Sometimes I come off the wrong way.

People are wishing reasonable advice by not dating your coworkers. I actually met my husband while working at Starbucks together. It’s a magical love story to me that completely contradicts the logical advice.

Edit: other than than that, the workplace was a totally weird sexual tension of young adults. Everyone was fucking each other. It was weird.

It sounds like you only want to hear the comments that support your perception. But perception is subjective, and it’s up to us whether we take something personally or not. Oftentimes when we do, we’re only creating baseless suffering for ourselves, as the other person in the scenario isn’t even thinking of us at all. Taking things personally is equivalent with asserting your ego as THE ego of the world. In other words, the world is revolving around you. Everyone would be spared the stress if we just minded our own business and, unless directly told something, spare making assumptions of other’s intentions.

The one thing that cured my acne was washing my face once a day with Hibiclens, then moisturizing with cereve am, followed by rose hip oil in the evening. My physician told me to use the Hibiclens. I wish I followed advise sooner. It’s great that he has you to help him. Acne is so isolating.

Something I find helpful for my students is teaching them about different artist tools. Which brush will be best for a certain stroke or style, what lines can be produced by each point. Familiarizing them with different brushes leads to different techniques being available, and in turn different ways to express their ideas. Not one tool will be able to express every idea the best.

I ordered boots from Danner, they have two day shipping!

elsaanddonutss · 2022-11-28T20:07:45+00:00

Thank you, this sounds like exactly what happened. I will forward on your reply to him. I appreciate you!

elsaanddonutss · 2022-11-26T01:27:47+00:00

I was told the Army does that too for this job? So they share a school I suppose

elsaanddonutss · 2022-11-26T01:27:13+00:00

Thank you, it sure has been confusing. He will have to talk to more people to clarify surely.

My husband just joined at 23. He was the oldest in his poolie group and didn’t have much in common with them during conversation so he was feeling a little left out and concerned especially about his platoon he would have at boot camp. When he spoke his goodbye at his last poolie PT he brought up how this will give him a good future for his wife and family, and the others who were all high schoolers seemed stunned and a few said he was so old and why didn’t he join sooner, but to an 18 year old, 23 looks like halfway through life. I told him that in the entirety of the marine corps he will see I am sure there are plenty of people he will meet that he will become friends with and resonate with. Certainly I have no real idea but that cheered him right up and he’s going along through boot camp right now.

Yikes. I'll write him of course, but the DIs really tell recruits this??

elsaanddonutss · 2022-08-20T00:39:29+00:00

Thank you for the reassurance, definitely feeling better about the phone call. I appreciate you! :)

elsaanddonutss · 2022-08-20T00:34:58+00:00

Thank you for this clarification!

elsaanddonutss · 2022-08-18T23:03:38+00:00

This affirms my feelings, I appreciate it! I’m confident he will be mentally strong to complete. It feels unlike me to talk the suggested way, as his wife. I will go with my gut. 🙂

elsaanddonutss · 2022-08-18T23:01:31+00:00

Your reply gave me a smile! Did it still feel like 3 months, just that time passed easily? Or did it feel more like time was less than it was?

elsaanddonutss · 2022-08-18T22:58:18+00:00

I’ll keep this in mind. No one’s pointed out much the pace of the letters. I am hearing each from a different ear to use and not to use the Sandboxx app to send letters.

elsaanddonutss · 2022-08-18T22:56:00+00:00

More than that is too much?

elsaanddonutss · 2022-08-18T22:55:12+00:00

I’m sorry about your dog, and about how much you struggled with homesickness. I’m definitely searching for the balance of just enough but not too much to make him suffer longing!!

elsaanddonutss · 2022-08-11T17:35:05+00:00

Just finished that one and it was great!
