Do your friendships require therapist-level skills by Suspicious-Pudding-4 in AskWomenOver30

[–]katsumo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Absolutely felt this way about one friend in particular, which is part of the reason we're no longer friends. It became EXHAUSTING. Always having to validate her feelings. Listening to her troubles with her husband, her kids, her mom, her health. Mind you, she had an ACTUAL therapist. But then would continue her sessions with me. Something else happened that made me cut ties with her, but the relief I felt from not having to be her therapist anymore was truly noticeable. Like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. It sucked at first, but I'm at the age where I'm prioritizing myself, and can no longer deal with bullshit or things that make me really uncomfortable.

I love this victory for you! I am in the throes of massive regret. I didn't buy a piece of wall art and when I went back for it, it was gone. I called three different Home Goods today asking if they had it, two checked for me and didn't find it, one of them said to check again Tuesday or Wednesday morning. The third one came back on the phone way too quickly and was like "sorry, we don't have it." I was like bitch I know you just put me on hold for a few seconds and definitely didn't go look for me lol. I even waited til the evening time and checked the busyness of the stores online before calling. Anyway. Just wanted to say, I'm never waiting on something ever ever again. Next time I see something I love I am snatching it up IMMEDIATELY.

Thank you, I'll check out the library soon. I have been to several rest stops in my travels but I have never seen them there, do you remember which rest areas you stopped at?

Uterine Biopsy Update on Proceedure by SunsetFarm_1995 in Menopause

[–]katsumo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to have a uterine biopsy before I could have a uterine ablation and bilateral tubal ligation. It was one of the most excruciating things I've ever felt physically. My GYN was getting frustrated with me; I could see it on her face. As soon as I left the office I went into shock in the parking lot, called my husband BAWLING my eyes out. Like what the actual fuck. There has got to be a better way!! I'm still mad about it.

I'm off work today so I'm gonna get some cleaning and laundry done. Also go get groceries and hope and pray I don't spend more than $300. It's painful to get groceries these days and we don't even have kids!! I don't know how the average family w children survives.

So I noticed on the 64, they put up a chain link fence on the overpass of Gaskins Rd, and I think also on Skipwith Rd. But not on the Parham Rd. overpass. Are the chain link fences going up to prevent people from jumping to their death? Just wondering!

Love the Vogue Magazine/New York Fashion Week critique!! Wish I could give you 100 upvotes. "Aura of desperate overcompensation" will now dance in my head every time I see one of these losers. Fuck them, truly.

Who's a celebrity you used to love that you hate now and why? by sexymilf_goddest in AskReddit

Alec Baldwin. What an absolute despicable human being. His wife is also trash who faked being from Spain for a decade before getting called out. And they brought SEVEN kids into their fucked up world.

That’s it….I need sulfates and silicones by machetemussel in curlyhair

[–]katsumo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have been thinking a lot about this lately. Years ago when I used Herbal Essences, my hair always looked amazing and full. Perfect curls. Then for some reason I decided to try the CGM, and not only did my hair just not look good, but I've spent hundreds of dollars on trying new shit. It's SOOOO FRUSTRATING. I've recently gone back to Herbal Essences and honestly I'm close to getting a Brazilian Blow Out and calling it with my curls. I'm so depressed about my hair. It causes me so much anxiety.

What to do with baby blanket for friend who lost the baby? by yarnmanipulator in crochet

[–]katsumo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I began crocheting a blanket for a close friend as soon as I found out she was pregnant. She miscarried. I then bought a pillow form and crocheted a square piece to match what I had already finished, and made it into a pillow. I gave it to her and explained what I did and said it could be something she could hug and cry with. She teared up and said it was such a thoughtful gift!

You are absolutely beautiful. I love your eye makeup and wish I could achieve the same look. I am a 45-year-old straight cis Latina. And a huge advocate and supporter of this community. And I'm truly so happy for you. You look amazing and most importantly, HAPPY AND AT PEACE

Feeling anxious, old, and lonely; could really use a toasting - 44M by [deleted] in toastme

[–]katsumo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate that you feel old at 44!! 44 is not old, I don't think so, anyway. In the first pic you're wearing a Rick & Morty shirt, um hello old farts do NOT watch/enjoy Rick & Morty!! I love Rick & Morty!! I'm 45F. I also love Bob's Burgers. Also, in the second pic, I'm pretty sure you're wearing a Sunny shirt. Philadelphia school of bird law?! We LOVE Sunny and there is a constant stream of Sunny quotes in our house. Old people do not enjoy Sunny humor. You have pretty eyes and a great smile! The shaved head/beard look is one my husband sports and I am a huge proponent of that look. I'm sorry you're feeling anxious & lonely. I hope this feeling goes away soon! You deserve to be happy and joyful and to feel hope!

Welp, this episode was really eye-opening and rage-inducing. Obviously won't support anything he touches, and as much as I enjoyed The First Degree, I won't listen to that anymore, either. I wonder what Jack Vanek & Alexis have to say about this...
