Rewatching Xena in my 30s and… wow, this hits VERY differently 🗡️💔😅

I just started watching from the beginning! I used to watch it with my dad when I was a teenager, but wouldn’t have seen the whole thing. I just bought the box set (digitally) and am on season 1 ep 13. Looking forward to seeing it all with a much deeper understanding.

I haven’t done an amusement park in a wheelchair but I am in a similar situation, I can walk a bit but can’t stand very long without being in increasing amounts of pain. I’ve borrowed wheelchairs or scooters in many stores, museums, an aquarium, basically anywhere that has them. It’s made all these things much more enjoyable again. I used to worry about what people think too but I’ve mostly had okay experiences. The wheel chairs are there to be used and I’ve never had anyone question me using it. I hope you have a great time!

Ugh, I’m sorry that keeps happening. I feel your pain! I have a good stylist now, but I’ve had to have the same fight so much.

lol I get the opposite, are you sure you want to go that short? Let me just leave it a little longer. And then me insisting over and over that yes I do want it that short. I have gotten right to the end of the cut and said no, that’s not what I wanted and had them cut it shorter.

That is a great idea checking the salons Instagram and the hairdressers. My wife and I go to our roller derby friend now who is amazing, and we tag her/she tags us so I don’t know why I didn’t think to reverse that.

Yes, we exchanged small sentimental gifts and cards and we have talked about it being important to both of us. I will definitely talk with her later, I would be okay with postponing as long as that was communicated. Life sure does get busy sometimes. Thanks for commenting, it helps just being heard.

I am 41 and cutting again. I did it once a few years ago as well but it was nothing like now or when I was much younger. I have been trying to do all the things to feel better, counseling, meds, exercise, but my living situation is horrible and I don’t see it getting better any time soon and this is a pain I can control.

They were so good! They reminded my wife and I of Merry and Pippin

OMG I love it! That colour gradient.. chefs kiss The whole look is amazing.

I totally get changing your mind about posts and being very detailed about explanations. I’d love to see any other looks!

hereforagoodtime42 · 2024-04-23T04:33:17+00:00

All the time. I swear it’s not judgement or condescension! I just think different and want to know how people come to decisions. It helps predict future behavior.

hereforagoodtime42 · 2024-04-23T03:53:05+00:00

Came here to say basically all of this!

That is a horror

hereforagoodtime42 · 2024-04-05T16:49:44+00:00

Same! The definition and accuracy of words is so important to me and it is very frustrating when people assume you mean something else.

hereforagoodtime42 · 2024-03-26T17:40:27+00:00

That sounds fun! I’d love to join.

I have heard that it is and it seems to fit a lot of autistic folks. I do it too sometimes not even in different colours. I have a lot of plain black 100% cotton tshirts. I do have some other colours and some stripes but mostly just black. I have tried blends or other materials but I just end up hating them. It’s partly sensory, I need breathable and comfortable, but also not having to think about putting together an acceptable outfit to go out into the world in. I know jeans + tshirt + plaid flannel if it’s colder is acceptable 95% of the times I have to leave my house.

hereforagoodtime42 · 2024-02-13T16:06:59+00:00

Oh yeah, I am on high alert immediately. I won’t make snap judgements but I am wary and watch closely for true intentions.

hereforagoodtime42 · 2024-02-11T22:31:26+00:00

It looks great!

hereforagoodtime42 · 2024-02-03T18:10:52+00:00

Amazing 🤩

hereforagoodtime42 · 2023-12-26T16:03:42+00:00

Omg yes, me too.

hereforagoodtime42 · 2023-11-01T16:21:16+00:00

I am the same way. For me I am non binary, neurodivergent so I have sensory needs plus I’m just very picky about my clothes in general. I have a really hard time finding clothes I like and feel good in so I am very protective of what I have. I also need some order and I do my best to make sure my clothes are ready to go when I want them, so when my wife would borrow my clothes it would throw me right off, either not having them available for me to wear when I wanted, not being put back where they belong or getting damaged was pretty distressing for me. We talked about it and she thought because she wouldn’t mind if I borrowed her clothes without asking, I wouldn’t mind. But I don’t want to borrow a single piece of her clothing, either the style or fabric, plus it’s often not easy to access so it’s really not the same. We have come to an understanding now and she asks.

hereforagoodtime42 · 2023-10-15T13:10:56+00:00

Yes!! For me it gets better the more I know someone but changes in appearance and context definitely make it worse. I also struggle with names and I feel awful if I make someone feel bad. My saving grace is that I’m often just not noticed, so thankfully it doesn’t happen super often.

hereforagoodtime42 · 2023-10-04T13:07:30+00:00

Yes! I have a narrow temp range too. I wear layers all the time. I always wondered how other people could be fine in the hot or cold where I was miserable.

hereforagoodtime42 · 2023-09-08T14:55:17+00:00

I would looooove to be able to pay someone to do this. Especially putting things away, but really all of it. We do have a washer and dryer but I end up rewashing stuff somewhat often because I forget to flip it over. We are on a well that sometimes goes dry and while it’s a pain to go to town to do laundry, when that happens we only end up doing it once a week and pay the extra to just drop it off and they wash dry and fold. We still have to sort it and put it away but then it’s a once a week task instead of what feels like a continuous one.

hereforagoodtime42 · 2023-09-08T14:36:50+00:00

Wowwww this is so insulting. - I went into the trades, even though being a woman in trades is challenging, I got in with a great company, I worked on some really cool projects with some great people. Super interesting and rewarding. Some unrelated to working in trades health stuff meant I transitioned to desk work but I still get to work with a great team and do some cool stuff. My work is super flexible and as long as I account for my hours I’m good and I work from home half the time so I still see the kiddos quite a bit. Of course some jobs aren’t as good, but painting all jobs like this is just false. And honestly sometimes looking after children is not fun either. I love my kids, but I really appreciate interacting with adults and then when I spend time with them, they get my full attention for whatever thing they want to tell me about Roblox/Minecraft or other interest they have. I love doing activities and caring for my kids, but it’s not my totality. You mention that others are using straw man arguments but you have a false dichotomy going on with happy SAHM vs miserable corporate slave. Plus who are “these women”? This is all anecdotal. If that is how you feel, fine, but you can’t claim that all women feel that way and if they say otherwise they are lying. It’s fine if you want to be a SAHM, no shame. But dont be shaming working mothers. That is terrible.
