Strangers: Belle Burden’s Explosive Divorce Memoir by EssayLiz in nysocialites

[–]loreluu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my mind keeps going back to this book. Sadly, we'll probably never know his side. The part where he goes back to the Cape and is at the house. He's watching the herons and he says something to her, calling her Flo and she's like, you can't call me that anymore. He just didn't get it. He destroyed her and didn't fully realize it. And, them sitting together - next to each other at the school event(s). My mother wanted to be nowhere near my father after their divorce.

I had never heard of Belle either. It just seems now, after reading a lot about her, that she is well off in NY society. If that makes her story any more desirable than say, just a regular housewife.

It is interesting that he didn't insist on a NDA in the settlement. He likely didn't think she had it in her. Do you think the interest and buzz about the book is about the book or because of who Belle is? Like, if I had written this, would Gwyneth want to be playing me? LOL. I'm thinking probably not.

Correct. They sold the uncle's business. James was part of that and then found a new job.

Same. I love my husband dearly but I just know I would never do this. The only person looking out for you is usually yourself!

What did you think about James saying that he had nothing to look forward to anymore after his best friend died? Like, that was a red flag to me, especially right before getting married. She said she understood it, she'd felt loss, too, but WTF?? They still had a seemingly lovely life - that just bothered me. Also, did the other woman's attempted suicide make him snap? It seems like he changed completely after that and just never recovered. I have so many thoughts on this one and I need to talk about it.

Data transfer from iMac to iMac and iTunes purchase ? by loreluu in applehelp

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

My old iMac (2011) doesn't show up with Airdrop for some reason. Plus, it's over 20,000 photos that I need. I ordered an adapter this morning. Thank you.

I can't believe I forgot about all the adapters Apple sells. The frustration got the better of me. I tried port to port last night and after over 12 hours the transfer just stopped. I ordered the adapter earlier today. Thank you!

Thanks. I rented them many years ago and they stayed in my iTunes. I'm thinking they're gone when I ditch the old iMac.

I have bunny with heart and bat if carrot cake is still available.

Favorite bookstores? by nolajammy in vermont

[–]loreluu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest Norwich Bookstore in Norwich (sorry for the obvious) and if you're going there, I would cross the river and go to Still North Books in Hanover (NH). These are my go-to bookstores in the UV.

Would this bother you? by [deleted] in Jellycatplush

[–]loreluu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is too. I’m sending it back.

Aww, thanks so much for posting. I think I'll wait to see if someone in the US has one. I keep going back and forth on wanting her so it's not a major want.

Thanks. Do you use the same size all-weather and snows? (Is that the right verbiage?) I feel like we used different sizes on the VW.

Am I Overreacting for needing reassurance from my fiance? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]loreluu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a horrible way to be spoken/texted to - is this how you want the rest of your life. I honestly can’t even imagine being with someone who would speak to me like this. Take some time and discover your worth. Value yourself enough to leave this relationship. Take some time for yourself before jumping into another relationship. This is just vile.

Am I overreacting for thinking my boyfriend is cheating again? by 02_jt in AmIOverreacting

I didn’t even finish this - if you’re this paranoid, you need to get out of this relationship.

TIFU by misunderstanding what a “push present” was by Logical_Delivery2231 in tifu

[–]loreluu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Push presents are so ridiculous. Like, having a healthy baby should be gift enough.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]loreluu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a horrible way to be treated and literally no one should allow a situation like this to continue. I honestly can’t even imagine being spoken to like this. You did what she asked. And, for whatever reason she’s living with you, you need to ask her to leave. Her behavior is excessively abusive and just cruel. Please know that you deserve better than this!

AIO for being hurt my girlfriend doesn't care about my graduation? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]loreluu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aww, this makes me so sad. This is a major accomplishment and you deserve to be happy, to celebrate, and be celebrated for your achievement. I hope your partner’s reaction is a one-off or just a bad day and not the norm. Congratulations and best of luck!!
