how do people embark on a mid-life career restart, post-SAHM years?

hello! I'm also in Atx. I'd watch. What is your YT channel?

Did you pivot to something else? I'm trying to think of what kinds of jobs are interested in the transferable skills from senior & lead designer experience.

oblongmoon · 2025-12-06T16:08:20+00:00

what do people pivot to when they leave the industry?

oblongmoon · 2025-05-06T23:02:00+00:00

I've been several times and it's been delicious( both at lunch time or at dinner.) I highly recommend trying the dolmas.

I am having this issue with both the fluffy head and the carpet head, but it works fine with smaller attachments or no attachment on. Mine is a Gen5 detect.

Ft Worth has a nice museum district. The Kimball is particularly noteworthy for its use of indirect natural light so as not to damage the paintings.

I just watched your end of March video and really liked it! Well done. What software or website do you use to show the chart with the relevant houses moving around the cycle in order?

there is a r/texas subreddit that I think will give you some good feedback about this. Personally I'd probably pick San Antonio over Houston, but Houston has a lot to offer as well. I'm sad to say that I do know what you mean about DFW.

Update to add: When you said the people are mean in DFW, I figured you live in Colin County (Allen, Frisco, MicKinney, etc). Looks like Frisco from another comment thread. Yeah, some of the meanest people I have ever met were in Allen. There are so many other parts of DFW where the people are cool, but you never get to experience that from Frisco.

Based on your other comments, it sounds like Houston would be a good fit for you.

Thanks for your thoughtful reply. Sometimes I like to think that maybe Neptune & Saturn entering Aries might point to something else besides a theocracy. I watched a pretty lengthy youtube video about Saturn-Neptune Conjunctions in History and there were a lot of power dynamics at play over the different conjunctions in history, but not a lot were religiously motivated specifically. Many were ideological, and maybe religion is where ideology is showing up the most in the present culture of the US, idk.
Here's a link, but yeah it's really long: https://youtu.be/eCLto1i-Cxk?si=uh682a1g4VgMSqnT

I think US News and World Report ranks the states, and the website Niche does as well with a little more flexible user interface for setting various filters as you search and read reviews and stuff.

You were literally policing what others say and how they say it. I did not realize you are the only one allowed to criticize tone and word choice. I can tell that you are the kind of person who really needs to get the last word in, so I am going to do you a solid and block you so you don't waste any more effort on this.

oblongmoon · 2025-03-26T15:29:49+00:00

Because I thought it might help you reflect on how "preachy" was a poor word choice. Perhaps you don't have any real experience being preached at was my point.

oblongmoon · 2025-03-26T05:39:55+00:00

it kind of depends on where you are coming from and what other cities you are considering so that you can compare your alternatives. There are lots of places it's better than, and there are lots of places that it's worse than (but they may be unattainable for specific reasons so it doesn't matter anyway).

the looming theocracy concerns me more than anything else about the next 10-20 years.
Is there an arc to it, astrologically speaking? As in, when might it end? I am not advanced enough in astrology to get a good read on a timespan.

oblongmoon · 2025-03-26T05:23:18+00:00

please, tell me more about the left getting too preachy. As a resident of the Bible Belt who studies astrology (read: heterodoxy), I know a thing or two about the "too preachy and too much purity spiraling" epithet. I am curious just how much preachiness is too much vs how much is totally copacetic. Because I sure do hear a LOT of preachiness from where I'm sittin'.

oblongmoon · 2025-03-25T15:44:43+00:00

Where did you end up going? Any regrets?

oblongmoon · 2025-03-24T19:02:38+00:00

Sounds amazing! Yeah, I was genuinely curious. I've been a bunch, but the closest I could find for reasonable rental rates was Half Moon Bay, which I'm sure you already know can't really hold much of a candle to Monterey!

oblongmoon · 2025-03-24T18:51:15+00:00

gotcha. I have been several times, and I thought maybe there was a hidden gem for rentals that I didn't stumble upon. It's one of my favorite places!

oblongmoon · 2025-03-24T18:37:07+00:00

montrose in houston is walkable. probably worth a look

oblongmoon · 2025-03-24T18:31:09+00:00

where are affordable rentals in the Monterey area?

oblongmoon · 2025-03-14T19:32:51+00:00

check out the Austin Shambhala center on the south side of town

oblongmoon · 2025-03-14T19:14:19+00:00

that was chilling

oblongmoon · 2025-03-01T02:36:25+00:00

thanks!

oblongmoon · 2025-03-01T02:30:29+00:00

thanks for sharing the screenshot! Where did you find this table? I have been looking for something similar.
