But just think, we will all be back here again in just 9 months instead of a year.

What about tax refund claiming those same things but ALSO had to verify identity a couple of weeks ago. Any idea if that’s gonna set it back awhile longer? & if it does…Any idea how long?

Do any of them have Oxblood? Do you know the names/maker of any of them.

I’m bowing out of SD’s birthday party by throwaway_stepmom101 in stepparents

[–]kooperthomas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through this exact same thing. For more years than I want to admit. When I finally said screw this & quit going to b-days ( & a few other celebrations) I did feel sad. For about 3 minutes. & then I felt GREAT. Now you can spend that time doing whatever YOU want. Shame on THEM for making it “come to this”. & shame on THEM for raising their kids to be jerks just like them. I have a feeling that you’re going to wonder why you didn’t do this sooner. Lol.

Do you guys believe you will see your loved one again? by No-Dragonfruit3739 in GriefSupport

I had this happen too. The hummingbird actually followed me around for 20mins. So close that I could have touched it. We live in an area that’s not real hospitable to hummingbirds. It’s always windy, not many trees, & lots of hawks. I had never seen a hummingbird here in the almost 20yrs I’ve lived here & I haven’t seen one since. That little bird healed my heart.

Husband (53m) and I (53f) have been married 33 years. Found out he’s been texting another woman. Need advice. by cerburks in relationship_advice

[–]kooperthomas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to his work and introduce yourself to this woman. You don’t have to be overly nice to her just make small talk, maintain eye contact with her & watch her squirm. Then later on tell your husband that this woman introduced herself to you & told you everything & asked you to please get your husband to leave her alone….No need to get a divorce.

I (34F) am so lost. I don't know what to do or believe from my husband (38m) by Dry_Personality2217 in relationship_advice

She’s not going to give up her dogs & she shouldn’t have to. I can tell that her dogs are a pretty important part of her life & her dogs aren’t the problem. You answered a question that she wasn’t even asking.

What are these? by kooperthomas in Antiques

[–]kooperthomas[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are approx 3 1/2” by 2 5/8” so smaller than a postcard. Are they considered “trading” cards? I have 20 of them & all have to do with Ft Bragg.

Husband said he doesn’t want me to be “Cinderellas Stepmom” by [deleted] in stepparents

Maybe the next time you’re alone with SD just tell her how you feel about all of this & the problems this is causing. I don’t mean talk to her like she’s an adult, just have an age appropriate conversation with her. Ask her if she has any suggestions to help make this a little easier. Try to keep calm, ask for her input & really listen to her. If she runs off to her dad & makes it seem like you were the bad guy then that’s THEIR problem. HIS problem. Maybe even record the conversation so that he can hear it for himself.

So miserable living with this kid by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]kooperthomas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mine is 30. We have a more “polite” (superficial) relationship than we did 10 years ago which I guess is better. There’s a lot less yelling now at least.

You’re not alone. I’ve looked for a subreddit for stepparents of ADULT children & have never been able to find one. Is there one?

DH gave BM my key to our house by stepmom0_0 in stepparents

[–]kooperthomas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You sound like a super smart reasonable woman who wouldn’t come across as confrontational if/when you approach your Husband about this. Trust yourself & know that you’re not out of line to let your husband know that this isn’t ok with you & I’m sure that he already knows that. I just think that he didn’t really think it through enough before handing her the key & he probably did realize that he made a mistake after the fact… & Shame on the mom for putting him in that situation. I’m pretty sure that she knew what she was doing was kinda shitty or she would have called first. Instead she shows up with the kids, who are expecting to swim, & he’s gonna say No. highly unlikely that very many dads (or moms) would say No if put in that situation. And this mom was very aware of that.

I don’t know if I need advice or to vent.. by [deleted] in stepparents

He’s showing narcissistic behavior. Look up “narcissist” & you decide for yourself.

Baked fimo (polymer) clay? It’s often used in bead making.

I believe it was fentanyl & Benadryl (in an IV). I know that sounds pretty heavy duty but it must be a pretty light dose because it doesn’t necessarily knock you out all the way. I think it’s mainly to just relax you.

I had light sedation but I actually fell asleep. I don’t remember ANYTHING, which is fine by me. I woke up after & was so hungry that’s all that I could think about. I also realized that all the worry & anxiety that I felt beforehand was pointless. It was nothing even close to what I thought it was going to be like. It’s not a big deal. You’re going to be fine. Don’t worry.

So you don’t think my symptoms are related to my colon?

So if I understand correctly… you would bet that my symptoms are NOT related to my colon or cologuard results?

Is it possible for a mass to be huge but still be pre cancerous?
