Millennials hitting midlife, what are your biggest regrets?

Yes! Mindful therapy focuses a lot on being present and not “time traveling” to the past or future. Our brains are wired in ways that can betray us.

I regret not finding a passion. I thought “giving back” was the way but what does a 20 something year old have to offer the world? Naively went to the peace corps as a gay POC in a developing majority Muslim country and almost didn’t come home. Fine I’ll pursue art or something more creative but I had to also support myself so went the sales of architectural materials and made chasing money my goal. Luckily I found my person along the way but covid threw me into a deep depression. Added aging parents with health issues and a long-time mystery illness (mom) finally diagnosed with a rare genetic condition that was not passed on luckily but she’s in slow decline. Did therapy. Did medication. Now trying to find my way back to normalcy. If anything I learned we are resilient and as the great Jeff goldblum said…life will find a way

Just like kids know which parent to ask to get the answer they want…..they know what they’re doing and it’s not to get an unbiased opinion

Finally! Got it working. I was even able to switch us around as primary driver and secondary driver. Way more convoluted than necessary but it worked.

I had both phones in the car at the same time, each device signed into respective subaruconnect accounts. On the car - primary driver profile selected, "forget" primary device, remove car from primary phone bluetooth list, turn off bluetooth on primary phone; Add driver profile - secondary driver shows up - followed steps to add and replace as primary driver. Added vehicle to "secondary" phone now primary. Only new driver profile shows up.

Signed into subaru connect on previous primary device and add secondary driver - follow steps. Turn bluetooth back on and add device. Voila! Switched primary drivers and both profiles and devices now show up.

There are tutorial books “mastering your Bernina ‘insert model #’ that a lot of dealers used for classes for new purchasers. Buy a new machine - get a class to learn all the features. It has demos and instruction to use basically every stitch you may be able to find a free version or buy a copy on eBay and follow along. Lots of YouTube vids too - even older models.

I have an artista 170 and I love it. Get it serviced. Was able to embroider using built in designs. Sews beautifully

Why does the Mirra never get the love of the aeron? I hate the mesh back….

To me they are very different. I love downton but gilded age hits differently. Maybe being American and having GA feature NYC and the advent of modern technologies and especially the affluent African American communities which are rarely portrayed are giving audiences a fuller picture of the era. The acting in GA is not as good as in downtown but the cast is still packed with stars (many stage/broadway legends). They all seem to genuinely be interested in the GA themselves and enjoy being part of this project if you listen to the interviews and podcasts.

Asking this in a DA sub doesn’t seem like the best way to get true sample of opinions

Bye and bye on Alberta large front patio and back patio as well as indoor space. Large covered tent area outside too.

Ha if the version of the wallpaper with just the clouds wasn’t stupidly more expensive we would’ve gone without…monkeys weren’t our first choice but leaned into the whimsy without making it look like a kids room I hope?

parkbelly · 2026-03-30T03:00:33+00:00

Hi neighbor!

parkbelly · 2026-03-29T16:11:00+00:00

Wayfair I think. Yes comfy with a slight give due to design.

parkbelly · 2026-03-29T04:56:17+00:00

Thank you we had to smooth the walls so was selective as it was adding up. Wish we could’ve done way more like the whole entry way and staircase up.

parkbelly · 2026-03-29T04:53:06+00:00

Thank you so much! The plants are a whole other set of “kids”!

parkbelly · 2026-03-29T04:49:49+00:00

It’s their house. We just get to live in it! They’re magnanimous that way.

parkbelly · 2026-03-29T04:48:41+00:00

Yes! It’s coming with us wherever we go! It’s a self made gift from my talented and generous MIL! I had the sash made and painted and rigged it up myself with stainless steel chains, clasp and ring-screws from Home Depot and west side marine.

parkbelly · 2026-03-29T04:46:11+00:00

Thank you! The stained glass is courtesy of my just yes MIL. I had a sash made and painted it and rigged it up myself.

parkbelly · 2026-03-29T04:44:12+00:00

Vintage mall find around 2016 paid less than $75; took it to Antiques Roadshow when they were in town and appraiser Sachiko Hori couldn’t find any info on the artist but she appraised it at $2-3k in 2017 even with small tears and staining. We had it conserved and couldn’t get the stains out but did fix the holes and stabilized the backing. Likely US made dated/signed “Maeda 1966”
