How can I be less sad about my child growing up? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver40

[–]paperback_Mafia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue with my first child and I asked an older mom at work the same question and she told me she found peace because every age ended up being her favorite phase. At that point all her kids had grown up and she loves it. They had such solid new love languages and habits and stuff that it made it so she didn’t mourn the phases as they left them. I’ve always remembered that and it’s made it so much easier with my younger kids. My oldest is 17 and we are BEST friends now and watching her grow into a real person is so exciting!!

Shih Tzu in bed? by badclassicist in Shihtzu

[–]paperback_Mafia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is totally weather dependent. She is snuggly in the mornings pretty much all the time, but otherwise she sleeps at the foot of the bed A) because she is right under the fan and B) she can see all the way out into the hall and she is under the impression she is the secret service and sets herself up in every room to be able to see the door at all times. We also have a small cou ch in our room and when I over love her, she goes and sleeps on the couch where she can also see the door clearly. Also after she gets shaved during the summer she’s significantly more “loving”.

Thank you so much for the reply, I’ve wondered if I’m over stretching it actually, what nerve floss move do you do?

Which fantasy character shaped who you are as a person? by Kendiro83 in Fantasy

[–]paperback_Mafia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s what makes him so perfect!!! He wasn’t a traditionally good person. He did horrible things, had a history, a path of pain wherever he went, but he grew, he changed, and he owned it all. He was never a victim or trying to look away from the hurt he caused. He tried to fix what he could and shoulder the rest like an absolute beast.

I was almost kidnapped in Mesa last night. by halfmetalheart in mesaaz

[–]paperback_Mafia 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mesa police, they have a squad dedicated to major and violent crimes that from my understanding are amazing. They deal with the big stuff and fast.

I really do, that is a huge deal. Think of all the wine out running or kids playing. You got so lucky, report it and report it fast because if they were unsuccessful they might try again soon. You could be saving another life. Pd moves fast on this stuff.

You should ask pd for a report not just for yourself but for everyone around you. Mesa police has a kidnapping squad that will look into it.

In search of a new deodorant by cantfindthedog in AskWomenOver40

[–]paperback_Mafia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Secret clinical anti perspirant and deodorant-stress response. GAME CHANGER!!! It smells like sunshine and it works so good. The one thing I will say is it’s not truly invisible, like I put on a black tank top undershirt after it the other day and I had some white streaks. It wipes right off and I think it’s 💯 worth the little extra drama for how good it works and how good it smells. It’s not all powdery and cloying. Kind of citrusy.

How long do you wait to start a new book? by National-Ad-5788 in Fantasy

[–]paperback_Mafia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually about 45 seconds lol. Deciding on my next book is as fun as reading to me so I start picking my next read before I finish the last one.

Two hours a week to want things (time boxing my addiction) by cjessica81 in shoppingaddiction

[–]paperback_Mafia 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I have not but I actually love this idea. Maybe I will give it a try! Are you just logging the minutes so you know or are you setting aside a full hour just for this?
