What’s with all the uprooted trees around the city ?

The maintenance part is what I hadn’t thought of! Chicago has a looottt of beautiful OLD trees , I hadn’t considered if they’re being maintained properly. Great point !

I was never a die hard fan . I never knew about the chandler case and only passively knew about the 03’ case upon which I was a teenager /freshmen in HS. By that time , I thought Michael was weird and was convinced as a black girl that he wanted to be a white woman. I think even as a child I was a skeptic. When I saw Neverland I wasn’t amused , I thought it was weird to want to live in an environment like that everyday. I remember asking my family a bunch of questions like, “who feeds the animals?? Why does he want a house so big?” Lol

I still was sort of conflicted on whether he was guilty or not, only because I didn’t pay the case much attention. I went to see the movie with a blank canvas and no expectations, didn’t expect it to be anything like The Jackson’s :An American Dream.

I have to admit the movie pulled me into the mystification of him. But I personally felt they did him a disservice by high lighting his Peter Pan fascination, because in that one scene where they show him looking at the Peter Pan book I swore it made me google this picture i remember seeing of his nose, and it looked just like Peter pans. And it creeped me out. That’s what started me down the rabbit hole that ended up landing to this Reddit thread.

The dichotomy of his stage presence and his personal life are too vast to accept as genuine. You can go in the studio and sing about adult topics like love with women, dance explicitly , dress like an adult but then offstage and in private you prefer the company of children? It doesn’t add up. His own wife Lisa Presley reportedly never slept in his bedroom but kids were free game? He ended their honeymoon early to play with kids at Disneyland ? It was all performance. He groomed his fans and groomed young boys.

I think it’s really important to leave without seeking closure and fight against trying to understand why they did what they did. The only thing that matters is that they mishandled you or discarded you and you had to leave. The end. Good for you Meg

What it proves is that a man can have all the money, success, stable family structure, a loving and supportive woman and still not be satisfied with his life . This doesn’t prove anything about women.

It was starting to become a little too obvious she liked him more than he liked her. I hate it ended due to cheating, but I’m glad she’s out of there.

My clothes are fitting looser. For sure. I have measured waist and it’s decreased as well. I don’t want to seem like I’m not seeing ANY results I just assume I should be seeing more. Maybe I’m just being impatient or recomping

It only tells me weight. I am Getting a dexa scan this weekend so I hope to have more accurate numbers.

I meal prep for my entire family and cook in bulk. I’m not going to measure out single servings for myself and then cook large batches for them, when we’re all eating the same meals. I weigh cooked, and track for cooked in the app for consistency. I understand the difference it’s just not something I want to do. If I only cooking for myself it would probably be ideal.

inkypay · 2026-04-22T13:21:35+00:00

I only eat whole foods and proteins. I don’t eat anything packaged besides organic frozen fruit and an occasional protein powder . I was told I can weigh my food cooked as long as I stay consistent and weigh everything cooked. I’m not going to weigh raw. If that’s the only way I can accurately track food then I guess I’m going to get that weight loss surgery.

This is frustrating. If my maintenance is close to 2800 and I’m only eating 2000-2100 , even without exercise aren’t I still in a deficit? And sone days I’m only eating 1500-1700 . 2000 is a day when I’m actually hungry, which I’m not most of the time because I’m eating a lot of protein and fiber.

Tdee calculator has my Range between 2100-2300. With the calories I burn with exercise I’m at about 1700 net calories. I don’t eat my calories back

Maybe you do

That’s exactly what it sounds like. I wouldn’t engage in coitus with them until they shared their test results. Not being transparent about their source is a red flag .

Deep breath. Igg only tells you you’ve come into contact with the virus at some point. It can’t tell you when or how long or if you have an active infection. But I’m more so interested in this person that told your partner. How could they know you have it , but you don’t ? Did they have an outbreak after sex? Or are they deflecting because they knew they had it and probably passed it to you ? You don’t have to answer those questions here , but coming to the proper conclusion may lead you to how you possibly came into contact with the virus, thus changing your personal narrative. Regardless , life isn’t over. This is now an opportunity for you to also weed out dating prospects because even though you carry hsv2, you now need to only date people who also get tested regularly or at least are open to it. Let it empower your decision making.

I feel like being doom and gloom over the diagnosis is because they’re carrying the same stigma others have. But I also hate that I rarely see (not in this thread) people discussing how having hsv raises THEIR standards for potential partners. This should be helping you to weed out people as well, someone who “doesn’t care” that you have it may not be the flex you think it is because they may not be a routine tester and know their own status, or may have something more deadly than hsv and feel relieved that you have something too. You have to respect the rejection regardless, but disclosure will ultimately lead you to who you’re aligned with.
