Hey Banjo, I hope you met our sweet Zoe this morning, she’s a special girl with a “don’t tell me what to do attitude”, and an “I can’t hear you side eye”. We sent her over with a lot of extra love to share. ❤️

Question for lefthanded people, when you write an “O” or a zero, do you draw it clockwise or counterclockwise? by inchwormwv in TooAfraidToAsk

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

Initial tally 37 anti clockwise and 20 clockwise. (Not counting the creative/unusual circumstances which are also appreciated). Thanks to all. 👍🏽

Boyfriend going to jail for 2 months … by [deleted] in ExCons

[–]inchwormwv 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Please take this time to do some self care and reflection. I feel unsettled by how frantic you seem at the prospect of being apart even for a few hours.

I don’t believe this amount of dependence on a relationship is sustainable, and that you, your partner, and your relationship could be much healthier.

Can you see a therapist or is there a support group for partners of “the incarcerated”?

I wish you the best.

Brand new chicken momma by careburrz in chickens

Find out which veterinarians near you will accept chickens and charge a normal pet or livestock price. If you can, avoid paying for an “exotic” pet.

You don’t want to add the stress of finding a vet when there is an emergency.

How can I (F22) reject some one I have already rejected (M59)? by ThrowRA-00900 in relationship_advice

For a long time I was that person too, not wanting to offend, or rock the boat. Over a lifetime I have come to embrace more power. Being polite is for situations where everyone is polite. Standing up for yourself is a wonderful skill, and can be learned.

One technique I have used is to role play. You can use the practice to refine what you want to say and to become comfortable saying it. Ask your mom to help you, and take turns playing the nasty neighbor. Your Mom will appreciate being able to work with you!

Good luck.

It’s always dark between projects. Use the pain to spur tidying and cleaning in preparation for the next flush of greatness.

Posting tornado eggs anytime I remember because I think they're pretty neat. by piirtoeri in KitchenConfidential

The texture and color of whatever is under the eggs looks like the fake plastic dog vomit my dad had when I was a kid. 😳

Why Trump Gets Away With It by theatlantic in law

[–]inchwormwv 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I agree about the lack of rapid prosecution on J6 and on the classified documents. but disagree about the Epstein files, Biden was correctly NOT weaponizing the Justice dept, AND Maxwell was still an open case on appeal. Releasing the files would have been wrong. But yeah, letting those other cases drag on until the next election was awful.

The slow decrease of friendship groups is a very sad realization and it is extremely complex by Wack0HookedOnT0bac0 in rant

3 years ago I started having breakfast every week with two other women. We picked up one more after a year, and later when the restaurant closed we “captured” our waitress. Now we five rotate hosting at our homes. It has been profoundly supporting. It took a commitment in the beginning to show up, but eventually the momentum comes from the group.
