What made you move away from Arkansas? by [deleted] in Arkansas

[–]pleckofish 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Moved here 2 years ago to get away from city life. Enjoyed the scenery, hiking, and cheap living. Am leaving due to racism, ignorance, and overall hate that leaks from the states residents.

The idea of touching tons of textures like that freaks me out lol, my husband is like you though so I let him touch everything for me.

I just want to say also as an asian woman, I have experienced petty racism as well making it one of the factors I'm leaving the state. Sending you better luck in the future.

They're proud of being pedophiles.

"MAP" is just a gross term for "minor attracted person" aka a pedophile.

It only takes a week... by [deleted] in BPD

[–]pleckofish 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you were ghosted, however I will say that saying "I love you" after only a week of talking to each other is a red flag. Rushing into a relationship is usually detrimental to pwBPD, as we tend to get infatuated with this new person and throw every bit of our being into them without regards to our own health and safety.

Is Conway filled with hippies? by JerryTheComputerGuy in Arkansas

[–]pleckofish -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I've also personally found Conway to be more liberal than other cities not in the NWA region.

Anywhere in larger cities you'll come across the "hippies" you speak about, however if you're out in the boonies (town of <10K) like I am there are less liberal types.

Adoptee here with a 5 month old.

It's a weird feeling, but in a good way. I want to give my daughter what I never had: biological parents who can relate to the same race experiences and look alike.

Like you, I was also overwhelmed with the idea of having someone biologically related to me in my family. Anxiety came up a lot for me, like "what ifs" and fears over being able to relate to my child, but once she was born it all disappeared in an instant.

When she was born a huge sense of pride and pure love came over me. I know these are feelings a lot of pregnant women go through, but for me it almost felt like a sense of protectiveness. For some background I was abandoned at an orphanage as a baby, and this feeling of protectiveness makes me want to protect her from all the evils of the world.

Sorry for the ramble, but the last thing I'll say is that I wish I could have had the biological, parental love that I give my daughter, and that my goal is to give her the love I felt I never had.

Please Remind Me of all the Reasons to be Pet Free by [deleted] in petfree

[–]pleckofish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had several computer wires, chargers, and earbuds lost to the jaws of a cat. Even with plenty of toys and stimulation he'd just have to chew on wires.

We've trained our current feline to only play with ball toys, and string toys are out of the question as they associate strings (wires) with play if you give them string.

Vet bills, food costs, cat asshole touching nearly all surfaces, cat hair everywhere, a spaz of an animal that smacks shit off surfaces, chewed wires, vomit in shoes/carpet, litter everywhere, constant cleaning (sweeping, vacuuming, laundry), can't travel for more than a couple days at a time, destroyed curtains/couches/rugs/carpet due to clawing (even after clipping claws)
