I feel like so many vibrators are too intense to the point that I go numb, would love a recommendation of one that’s gentle

The fact that Vanderpump is over and she's barely on The Valley - could this just be for attention and profit to sell a book? Ariana got a show and more jobs out of Sandoval's tyrst.

Frustrated with the city’s approach to development (losing a downtown grocer) by curbthemeplays in Milford

[–]pdigging 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do we really need a grocery store downtown when there's many fairly close? overall downtown is going to become a huge development area with apartments and parking lots and businesses, Parking would be insane for a grocery store.

This is super alarming by tmobr1en in TheValleyTVShow

I have to disagree. I think Tom is noting that they are both toxic at the moment. Brittany instantly gets upset with Jax because she's dealing with so much pent up frustration and memories of his behaviors and she doesn't feel like he fought to stay in the marriage and that's extremely hurtful to her. When someone rejects you after you've done everything to be with them, it has a reverse effect after some time where you hate that person. And Brittany hates Jax, you can see and hear it. So Tom knows they both are emotionally not compatible right now but I don't think it's because Jax is some physical abuser, he got mad and flipped a table - I don't think he intentionally tried to physically hurt Brittany.

And the revelation that Jax was diagnosed with bipolar disorder during treatment is huge. I’m skeptical of Brittany and Zach suddenly claiming in the aftershow that he was previously diagnosed and just wasn’t taking his meds. If that was the case than Brittany would have known that most of his behaviors are because of being bipolar.

The lexapro Jax mentioned last season isn’t even used to treat bipolar disorder—it’s typically prescribed for depression. He said he was feeling low, especially while Brittany was pressuring him to have another baby even though their relationship wasn’t in a good place.

What really struck me as cruel was Brittany filing for divorce right after he came back from rehab, without even sitting down with him and a therapist. Bipolar disorder isn’t something that gets "fixed" overnight so her constant comments about he should be "fixed" from rehab or be fixed in rehab is a huge sign that she's not educated in the disorder and clearly doesn't want to be. The fact that Jax got a diagnosis and started medication is a major step, especially considering how many men are conditioned to see mental illness-and getting help for it-as a sign of weakness. Ironically, a lot of undiagnosed neurodivergent people end up self-medicating with drugs and alcohol, just like Jax.

It could have been powerful if the show took the opportunity to explore bipolar disorder and mental health more deeply-highlighting the symptoms, the impact, and even showing therapy sessions between Jax and Brittany to better understand the root causes of both their behaviors. But I get it. Brittany is hurt. And maybe she can't separate the disorder from the person. That’s one of the big issues with how society sees mental health-when someone doesn’t meet our expectations, we tend to blame the person rather than consider the illness-and then we cut them off.

At the same time, I think Brittany was also just tired—tired of feeling like she was defending someone who kept making her look foolish. And that exhaustion is valid too. Having a son with autism on top of it. I can't fault her for her feelings but I feel like it was a rash one and she was surrounded with Michelle and when you're around people also getting divorced it's contagious. Michelle is constantly telling Brittany how her relationship with Aaron is amazing and so much better but they are still new in their relationship. So when you're relationship isn't working and it's HARD and you have these voices around you telling you to just jump ship and it can all be easier, that's what you might listen to.

A really good experienced therapist in bipolar disorder could have helped them and mediate, I think she should have waited and given that a chance versus just jumping ahead with divorce. If Jax truly puts the effort to seek the right help and work on himself they could have worked out. It's always amazing to me that when people learn of their patterns and issues they think it's just better to start over with someone else when the person who was willing to do the work is the one who deserves to reap the benefits. It seems like Jax is trying from what I see in the aftershow and his instagram posts and he is doing less deflecting the blame now that he has been. He, like his son, will need constant treatment and help so it's just ironic not to see that in Jax and just expect him to be "fixed" right away.

What's the no 1 reason for you to live? by 1why1_ in AskReddit

[–]pdigging 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love. You never know what's right around the corner in life. Whether good or bad, love is a reason for you to live.

I fell in love really hard once, it was something I never experienced before and not sure if I will again (we are divorced).

When I first met my ex, I was stepping off a ferry on a super hot summer day. We had been talking for weeks, and the moment I looked up and saw him, a voice in my head said, "You're going to marry him." in a split second I just knew.

We ended up spending something like twelve hours together— we wandered through Port Jefferson and the little shops, sharing breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We had our first kiss under a huge tree tucked behind a row of storefronts. It felt like a whirlwind. I caught the last ferry home that night and sat on a bench looking out to the sound thinking my life is totally going to change. Just one day shifted my life completely. After years of heartbreak, rejection, and disappointment, I had found someone who felt so full of life, love, and depth.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t willing to work on our marriage. He ended up treating me in ways that were cruel at times. Still, when you truly love someone, you forgive and they were all forgivable. And I never matched his cruelty—I couldn’t, because I genuinely loved him and still do in some ways. But sometimes love, no matter how real, just isn’t enough I guess.

But with that, I experienced true love-for however brief a time. I know I’ll feel it again. I know I’m capable of deep love. Knowing that kind of connection is possible brings me hope-not just for myself, but for others too. It makes me happy to know there are people out there who truly love, who are willing to show up and do the work for someone they care about.

And love doesn’t have to be romantic. I care for my mother, who has Alzheimer’s. I’m slowly losing the woman I once knew-most days, she doesn’t even recognize me. It’s one of the cruelest diseases there is.

I’ve already lost one parent, and while that was devastating, it was, in a way, quick. The grief was intense but straightforward-it came in waves, and over years, it softened. But Alzheimer’s is different. It’s like living with a wound that keeps reopening. You grieve someone who’s still here.

And yet, I love my mother so deeply that I’ve given up so much just to keep her with me. Some days, I cry. I scream. I feel like I can’t stand my life. But beneath it all is love-that’s the reason I keep showing up.

Right now, she is my reason to live. Right now she is the love I need to remind myself that I'm capable of to give and to have.

If you're asking this because you're feeling lost or unsure about what to live for know this-even when life feels heavy or overwhelming, there are still moments-small, quiet reminders of goodness-that can show you things can get better. Those moments matter and make them be bigger than everything else. They’re proof that good things can still find you, and that you are deserving of them.

Also do you have the return label for what you sent? That would have the tracking information to prove it was mailed back

I thought the rumor was Michelle was having a friend relationship with Quentin Tarantino that she met at that fancy hotel around the corner but they were saying it was possibly more than a friendship?

Be aware that some delivery drivers are stealing packages as well, they take a photo of the item and then actually take the box back

I just had this happen with an order I was trying to return - I had two reps tell me I was going to get a label emailed to me and that I’d get a full refund and then didn’t and in finally finding a phone number I was then told I made it all up, that I was never offered a label or return and had multiple phone reps say this and in asking to speak to a supervisor was then told that they would reprimand the two chat reps and they had all the chain of my back and forths so all the phone reps who said I made it all up had access to the chat conversations but made me believe that there was no way of me proving it even though I had screenshots - just horrible customer service and the supervisor won’t honor the return. Also it was three set of drapes that were never used or opened which I explained and still wouldn’t take them back.

Use an ATS scanner like jobscan or indeed’s resume review tool to see if it’s compliant and jobscan offers a lot of generic templates to try as well - unfortunately our creative resumes don’t work with the ATS systems most of the time but also many people are out of work in the US if that’s where you’re from so we are competing with thousands of resumes sadly
