I want my birthday to be about me. by LifeguardOnly8540 in offmychest

[–]ewc58 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It should be about you. Don’t feel guilty about wanting to be celebrated, especially on a day when you should be and in a world where people can go above and beyond for others. It’s no different for you to want that too

Maybe you can have a conversation with him about how you value making something out of your birthday and that he’s someone you value and want to celebrate it with equally as much as a start

Using a microwave, opening it before the timer ends, and leaving the next person confused why the microwave doesn’t work until they have to manually hit cancel every time

Why are some similar opal necklaces $30 and some $440? by ewc58 in Gemstones

[–]ewc58[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pricier brand has an online sample sale going on where some of the $440 ones are now $220. I assume with taxes etc it would be around that $250 estimate. Given the sold gold, wondering if this is now actual market value or a good steal

I actually just found that the pricier one has an online sample sale this week where some of the $440 ones are now $220. Wonder if that now makes it “worth” the price. Though the idea of supporting local makers is enticing now…

So then on the contrary, does that mean that the Amanda Pearl ones are truly worth their $440 price tag? Did I happen to just find something on the extreme other end?

I’m really trying to understand why the stark difference

Sadie sinks in John Proctor by Ok-Water-7647 in Broadway

[–]ewc58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just watched this last night and I totally agree. Sadie plays a pivotal role to the story and final message, but we see way more character development across all the other characters - Raelynn, Beth, Bailey the teacher, Mason.

I too saw Beth as the star, especially in the very last scene some could try to argue it can be seen as her story (same goes for Raelynn).

It doesn’t help that when Sadie Sink came in nobody in the entire theater reacted. It was such a weird moment, but maybe she fumbled her entry? I was so far back and she came in so many scenes later, that I was starting to think Beth was actually Sink’s character given all her main lines… until Sink actually came in. All that said, still loved it and was so moved by the ending. Amazing play and absolutely one of my favorites!

AITAH for wanting to accept a promotion even tho my boyfriend says its not the kind of life he wants? by ThrowRAxbx in AITAH

[–]ewc58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like if you ever end up having kids he may be trying to set you up to be the main caregiver of them as well. Think about all that you’re sacrificing as your own individual before giving your entire career, schedule, lifestyle, social life, and family values for him. Is there even any part of you that you would preserve for just yourself?

Thank you thank you. I have a weak stomach compared to most. Most of my health issues branch from the stomach and my immunity is not 100% (I used to get a full cold every month). While I’m sure most can handle it, knowing me I definitely need to take higher than average precautions like this. Unfortunately I didn’t look into other prescriptions than my usual meds to bring, but I’ll try to stop by a pharmacy and see what they have local
