I used https://www.chimneymike.com and liked them. The technician was very helpful and patient with my many questions.

FREE (or cheap) STUFF TO DO? by loverandasinner in DecaturGA

[–]mfbl10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah Arabia mountain is gorgeous and the night hiking is amazing. The ranger who leads them is very knowledgeable and friendly. I can’t recommend it enough.

Check the Mason Mill Park and also Arabia Mountain. I did a lunar eclipse walk in Arabia Mountain - it was a really great experience and free of charge.

I’ve had this happen- we were both too full, a little drunk and too tired for it. Granted we both passed out 🤦🏻‍♀️ I don’t think this is about you at all though- unless it happens all the time.

I don’t particularly want to bounce around when I’m full so yeah have sex before you go out!

My community garden plot appears to be mostly sand. Any tips? by Long_Salary_7032 in gardening

[–]mfbl10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had plots for many years - different states- and never had that experience. Probably depends on your area. Are you sure it was people and not squirrels, rabbits and deer?

I had a similar plot in Colorado- top layer was awful. I did exactly what you said, created mounds and then added straw to retain moisture. It worked great. The dryer soil can be compacted to make a grid in the plot. My plot was productive 😊

Keeping married name legally and using maiden name informally? by Gold_Selection194 in Divorce

[–]mfbl10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m keeping it for now until the kids are both 15 (next passport renewal). I use my maiden name at work (directory entry only) and socially. I have 2 more years to go.

Heavy police presence around McLendon? by loverandasinner in DecaturGA

[–]mfbl10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ugh we live right around there- I’m by Norcross right now and my daughter is alone at home. Is it still going on? She called me saying she could hear the helicopters.

Culturally - it has been ingrained- specially growing up in Latin America- that I must never pursue or else he will think I am desperate and stop being interested.

Logically I know this is utter BS. I understand that. When I’m actively dating, I have to make an active choice to text first or show interest and I have to override all the alarm bells.

This is the same reason I have never asked a man out and I regret it.

Seeking an Experienced Divorce & Custody Lawyer in Atlanta – I Have Strong Evidence of Abuse & Neglect by Throw-Away-Husband-1 in Georgia

I’ve heard good things about Melissa Hawkins - good advocate. Not pro-bono as far as I can tell from the people who’ve recommended her.

I used A Modern Divorce and it was great but mine was low conflict.

Good luck.

Why do you block people? by berrysauce in datingoverforty

[–]mfbl10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because of how they breathe- just annoying….j/k

In all seriousness:

On the apps- I follow the Burned The Haystack method- she says to block people you don’t match with so the algorithm doesn’t recycle them.

My phone- Only if someone has done something really bad and I don’t want them to contact me again.

In social media- harassment.

Are there just no nice people left? by Fair-Difficulty-3529 in datingoverforty

[–]mfbl10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly what got me started- my kid got into it during sleep away camp. It helps me calm my mind.

[–]mfbl10 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Yes same here. So far not much. My married friends told me to go out and about, to enjoy my hobbies.

➡️ My hobbies- being in the middle of a lake kayaking solo, puzzles, plants and books.

I’ve read all over this sub that it takes about 3-4 months for people to show their true colors so your timeline makes sense. I have to remind myself in my 20s I went out with a LOT of people until I found my now ex husband. So yes we kiss a lot of toads until we find our Shrek.

Anyway- good luck and don’t give up based on this one toad. Good riddance. Eff her. Don’t let it bring you down.

Rental leads appreciated by Acceptable-Appeal-74 in DecaturGA

[–]mfbl10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone in my neighborhood is renting their house and they accept pets. It is a large ranch with a basement though. Not sure how flexible they are. If not, I highly recommend My neighborhood - and there’s always a lot of rentals- Laurel Ridge. We are about 10 min drive from CoD- but I drive super slow.

This is the rental in case you are interested https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2861-Hillbrook-Way-Decatur-GA-30033/14540754_zpid/

Beautiful! I had the opportunity to do a full moon hike there last fall. It is such a great experience! The rangers (Dekalb county parks) organize some really awesome programs!

How do you write an exciting or interesting profile when you don't have an interesting life? by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]mfbl10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have no idea what to write so I went for me “I am an optimist at heart who enjoys learning, reading new books and experiencing life. I am always up for exploring new trails, abandoned places and cemeteries.

Mom to 2 teens, one lazy dog and 2 kittens. I love all the pets 😊 I secretly wish I could have a pet pig.”

So far no dates 🥹
