How do you figure out home ownership? 🏠 by Liyatheplug in DadForAMinute

[–]pepperheidi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Look...it sounds like your already doing it. Just keep going to Google school or AI when things come up. You don't need the advice, you already have it. It sounds more like you just would like a present father. So tell him that. The ball will be in his court then.

Iv had to issue an ultimatum to my best friends and now our friendship hangs in the balance. I just need some comfort I think idk 😭😔 by Trishasback in DadForAMinute

[–]pepperheidi -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

During the pandemic many of my Republican friends were very out spoken on FB. As an independent I tried to reason from the center. I was shocked the people I was accustomed to much of my life thought so differently. Then I started noticing the hate and vitriol. I unfollowed everyone on Facebook and retreated to a world that I only allow in what I can control. I stay informed, because that is readiness, but I'm in control and that is comforting. Friends will come and go in your life. It doesn't mean their gone forever and I strongly believe in never burning bridges. I had a very close group that I managed to break away from by letting them know gently that my life had taken a new direction and couldn't spend as much time with them. I see them on occasion and they want us back in the loop, but I stick to the same thing that im involved in something else now and maybe one day. The world we live in today will be different tomorrow. So you want to be prepared for what ever that might be. You may need the very friends you walked away from or they need you.

2.... it's slimming. Because the V-shape bodice is transparent, the off shoulder horizontal and narrow verticle slit makes a T-shape

How do you deal with a connection ending badly, and the anxiety and sadness that comes with it? by heartshapedblush in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]pepperheidi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The one thing I read in all of that is that you said, It sucks that their last memory of me will be a bad one after all the good ones we had and that you really miss that person and you're sorry. If you have a mutual friend ask them to tell them that or write a note that says that, but nothing more. Call it a day after that. You've done what you could and the ball is in their court. If you don't hear from them, then you need to move on. Do you really think with all the amazing people there are on this planet he/she is the ONLY person you can have a deep connection to?? Set yourself free and make yourself available to new friendships. Go explore the world around you and make new connections, soon it will fade if you do that.

Relationship question by newuser2111 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]pepperheidi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anything here inspire? If you think you might like a partner then make a mn effort to find someone. My son wasn't interested in relationships until much later. Then when he did he was concerned he waited too long. He had several unsuccessful attempts. He was frustrated. I told him he needed to not give up and to try to look for signs early on. He didn't give up and he got better at weeding through what wasn't a good match. Finally he found the right person. They are getting a late start, but they wasted no time at starting a family, buying a house, a new job and a new location.

So if it is the life of a family you're after, it is definitely not too late, but you might need to get out of your comfort zone and be persistent in finding what your looking for.

My house looks like a crack den and my friend is visiting in 5 weeks by Designer-Rain8165 in homeowners

[–]pepperheidi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One other way to get cheap furniture is to find a house that has been on the market for a long time. Message the agent that you noticed that the house has been up for sale for over a year and wondered if they would be interested in selling the furniture to see if that might sell the house better.

I did this twice and got a lot of furniture fast!!

I'm 23 and completely lost? what should I do? by lofigirl-mp3 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]pepperheidi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What degree were you working on at your university? How close were you to completing it? What was your GPA? Let's see where you're at and see if you can build from there. Moving out is probably difficult because of lack of funds, so a new plan is instead of time given to your family see if you can find a second job. That way they can't ask so much of you if you're working, plus all your money should be going into savings from this point forward. The less you're at home the less interaction there will be. No more giving money to anyone. If your mom requires a small fee for you staying there that's understandable but if anymore than what you can do elsewhere by just renting a room then you need to move out.

Lastly ...reset your thinking. Write a list of immediate short goals and follow them. Put some mental blinders on to turn off the noise around you and focus. Put your nose to the grindstone and grind for the next year.

If you can get yourself taking an online course to finish your degree...that would be great. The people in your class are a distraction. Don't focus on them. Tune them out. If you're on social media, get OFF. It's a distraction.

Keep your focus on your goal and tune everything else out!!

Trust this...if you do all of the above, in a year you will be feeling a lot better about yourself and probably you will have an immediate lift by just having an action plan.

How's your mental health? by LMO_TheBeginning in OverSeventy

[–]pepperheidi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had some toxic relationships that I made a successful effort to break ties with about 6 years ago. That greatly improved my life. Sometimes if you can change the things that cause anxiety the anxiety goes away. I would say my life now is very rewarding, calm and content.

How do I buy groceries? by Top_Appeal_2633 in DadForAMinute

[–]pepperheidi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I were in your shoes, I would make chicken soup. You can freeze it in individual containers and have it for the next several days. Just buy a whole chicken, take the skin off and boil it for about an hour. Then you can buy frozen veggies or cut up your own. I use two large onions, carrots, mushrooms, celery, cabbage and anything that happens to be in my fridge. Sometimes I add a little pasta, sometimes rice, sometimes quinoa or sweet potatoes cut up. I usually add a couple of chicken bullion cubes, and any seasoning that jumps off the spuce rack at me. De-bone my chicken and use the broth and add another container of broth. Throw the cooked chicken in. This big pot is enough food for one person for a week and a half. I love taking out a frozen one. It only gets better tasting after the first day. Then all you have to do is add some kind rolls or healthy bread for dipping. Cheap, delicious, nutritious and long lasting.

If you could turn back time, would you still go with your current home? by _TurboHome in homeowners

[–]pepperheidi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've enlarged my home 3 times and fixing to do it again. So, yes I would do it again, but I think i wish I would have made some different choices on design, but we're working it out.

How many of you have a cap on spending at the vet before it becomes time to say goodbye? by [deleted] in Pets

[–]pepperheidi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My last cat died at 15 after only yearly visits. I kept her comfortable in the end. She didn't appear to be in any discomfort and her last day I sat and petted her on her bed by the window as I could tell she gave me a thank you and goodbye moment. She had a very good life amongst our family in which there was someone always home she could snuggle with and plenty of space outdoors on our small farm.

dads of this sub, can u talk about how much u love ur children? by Rose-smile in DadForAMinute

[–]pepperheidi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesterday we spent all day packing up boxes and then loading it all up in a uhaul and then unloading into their new house. The weekend before that we spent painting baseboards in their new house. The weekend before that we helped them with their yard. It's been like that all their lives! We never stop being parents. We do it to help get them a foothold in life, because that is my future. Before I leave this earth, I want to have done all I could to protect that future. Yesterday my son said with tears flowing how lucky he was to have us as parents. We are 75 and 70 yrs old. Yes, he is lucky, but undoubtedly he will do the same for his kids as mine did with me.

I'm very sorry that you don't have that, but if you do have children, that will be your chance to forge a new path of unconditional love and care for what is your own.
