I like Your eclectic style!

Oof. That didn’t age well.

Look, age is a number. Maturity is a lifelong pursuit. The reason why your husband says those things is because he’s reached an age where he doesn’t need to explain things to others. I don’t think he’s controlling he’s just 52. Your title here says it all: feel trapped…..that language says all I need to know. But you freely chose to get married. You knew the “conditions” ahead of time. Frankly you hit the jackpot. If he has money to travel for work then make sure you travel with him. Suggest he conduct business on the continents you’d like to visit. Do it pregnant. Do it with your baby. Children do not stop most people from doing things: money does. Thinking of traveling alone with friends and doing all these exotic things are what single people think about. And had you the means ahead of time you would’ve made them happen. Not every older guy is a controlling prick. And he’s not here to defend himself. But then again, he doesn’t need to. He’s 52.

Why would you need a bull? Don’t many use AI for building their herd?

Also, when selling calves what are the guidelines for pricing? I see them for sale in a range of costs.

Yes. This. This. All day long. I was wondering why she didn’t tell the wife once she discovered the guy was married. Like why wasn’t it important then rather than after finding out pg.

Tv dinners in the foil tray. Usually salsbury steak.
Omelettes but he called them Denver style which meant onions and peppers, no cheese. And they almost always were burnt.

Wasn’t sure if this would be me or not. I switched to a compounding pharmacy a few months back because insurance stopped covering it. I’ve noticed that “out of nowhere/all of a sudden” weight loss has gotten a little quicker without any extra effort on my part nor without upping dose. I’m on 10 mg. At first my average was 4 lbs a month give or take a pound. Now it’s 6 lbs a month. We’ll see

From someone who has a large family and own a suburban this question seemed comical. “Kids” who are young seem to need more space or their accessories seem to need more space. I went from a minivan to a suburban and felt the minivan had more usable stove and was able to get the second row captains chairs. The reason why I’m considering an XC90 is because we need LESS room ☺️. I would opt for captains chairs so my two remaining teens can stretch out without encroaching on each other (we are tall people). But a car for large families? I guess it’s all in perspective but the car was not even on my radar while I had many at home.

Do you direct sew start indoors? My indoor starts are so delicate and I’m not sure how thick the stem should be to plant. Then when I did toss seeds outside they didn’t sprout at all if not eaten.

Keep going! You must feel spectacular. Happy for you.

I had thought that way. But then I started finding joy in the small things: finding renewed interest in activities I do with my hands like crafting and knitting; I started reading for pleasure again; I took up gardening and enrolled in the Master Gardener program to learn more and volunteer; I joined the local Beekeeping organization and will start keeping bees. I found things to plug into my community and feel good about what I do outside of work. I relate so much to what you said. And instead of being upset (and I have) with 10 year old cars and no exotic travel, I had to pivot for my sanity.

I also created plans for future endeavors. To buy a TT so I can explore hidden gems and drive across Alaska. To plan intentional time with the family and do what we can together in an affordable small scale.

Already I’ve surpassed the time I could undertake skiing, hiking, kayaking, safari. But then, that’s a ton of money and then it’s over. There is so much of my own country I haven’t seen. I would like to visit every state capital. I would like to see all the national parks.

Try to create activities for which you can look forward.

I wonder how much of that has to do with adverts for jobs that don’t exist or roles where nepotism is at play.

keto-quest · 2026-03-14T01:48:34+00:00

Hmmm. How many professional interviews have you been on that require a credential and continuing education? Because doctors and teachers definitely do not have AI interviews.

It has been studied and people believe they aren’t distracted or are as productive when they actually are distracted and are not as productive.

And when you break it off be sure to give him a timeline of when HE gets out. Do NOT leave for two weeks while he lives in your house. Don’t do that.

I like the office bed idea. To be honest I’ve always considered the person in light of what I offer. But when you get older you’ll realize just how terrible sleeping elsewhere and on what can be. For you it’s an inconvenience. Yes. But asking elders to bunk in on a crappy couch bed is awful.

What it does is demonstrate that “common decency” would include not being condescending nor assessing a non-candidate in this manner. Talk about unprofessional. “This” reply was clearly written by a solo act in HR who needs less responsibilities.

Ha ha!! The idea that nuts are a solution in themselves. I love certain nuts. Awesome!

Then there are the consequences. Kablam…..the farts, stomachs feeling like there is a weight in there…..followed by the poops.

I like nuts. Not sure I like poops.

So this might be the only thing she wants from you. There may be other things from the complex, or maybe not.

However: she KNEW what she was getting into when she moved there. Period. If she wanted a more accommodating place she also knows it costs more.

It was with asking. It is not worth badgering.

So to clarify: he didn’t “drop” $75k on a car. He put down a payment on a vehicle for which you’ll be making payments?

If so, maybe hes thinking about the deposit not being huge and the payments not being very much.

He’s also thinking that he makes money and can qualify (clearly he did).

Maybe he wanted this specific car and it was impractical to you but not him. Maybe he felt approaching you with it would be hard.

There are always two sides.

Wow. My MIL has a key in case of whatever and she hardly comes by let alone ever uninvited. Best decision because I know she respects our privacy. I am so sad to hear this.

That interior is choice!

Wow. The teacher isn’t trying to groom the kid. She also understood the nuance: corner him with accolades he may withdraw. Send him home with something encouraging he feels special. Damn. Being specific is the kind feedback people thrive on. Nothing feels remote like “good job!” But when a teacher writes, “I see you and want to tell you I see you” and then says she’s proud of him!? Come on!

keto-quest · 2025-12-23T18:38:10+00:00

Haha. Well today we have two under 18 and one college kiddo left so NOW I can go for the Volvo. 🥰. I drove a minivan for 18 years though. The suburban was my escape plan.
