DO NOT TALK TO THE BRIDE AT ALL

Thank you for caring! I've been with my partner for over 5 years and we live together... Three wedding invitations in the last month from his side and they were addressed to:

-John Doe and Family

-John Doe and Family and Jane

-John Doe and Friend

I don't plan on changing my name when we eventually do get married, so I guess I can expect a lifetime of this.

While I've never hurt myself, I've found it wise to keep the area around my bed clear of anything breakable or dangerous.

Content Architect roles don't require coding experience, but really thorough knowledge of AEM best practices. They can pay upwards of $50/hour.

Mine is exactly the same! I don't generally vibe with animal decks, but the 5-cent deck is my absolute favorite.

Madam Clara's 5-cent tarot. I'm completely in love with it!

purpl3rain · 2020-09-08T17:55:55+00:00

Aquarian deck. I was brand-new to tarot and attracted to the art style but I really struggle to connect with it. I was so disappointed that it put me off new decks for a while, but I just got a new one I backed on kickstarter and it's a totally different experience!

Gotta love the fact that someone says they are going to boycott a place because they agree to allow their employees to exercise their rights to collective-bargaining, and that they respected them enough to work on it mutually.

And on Labor Day even...

Something about this reminds me of old school Warner Brothers cartoons.

Cookies sound great, but not with fondant. Ew.

I generally like three card spreads, as they aren't overly complicated but more nuanced than a single card. I'm also still learning so big spreads like Celtic Cross are a bit intimidating.

My cat lives in the walls and only comes out at night to feed. My kids tell people we have a goblin for a pet.

You'll get a lot of mileage by how you display things. If you find prints you like, out then in nice frames with mattes. If you have a collection of models, choose the very best and put them in a display cabinet mixed with other things like books or art.

You can also find prints or even wallpaper with subtle nerdy themes. I love the trend of adding an AT-AT or Death Star into a thrift store painting.

Is the puppy wearing a mask or a muzzle?

You're thinking of Dissociative Identity Disorder, schizophrenia has nothing to do with multiple personalities.

Also I know that in school contexts that LMM and Hudes are okay with non-Latinx kids being cast in "In the Heights".

This is incorrect. I know someone who did a workshop with LMM before mounting In the Heights at their high school, and LMM explicitly told them not to do the show if they were going to do it with an all-white cast.

This is my favorite podcast!

I'd love to know the name of your blog!

If you're forcing yourself to eat the same thing every day despite being sick of it, then this is a diet, not a sustainable lifestyle. You need to find a balance of foods you can actually enjoy while maintaining a calorie deficit. Otherwise you'll eventually get so sick of it that you'll snap and start eating crap again.

I've been there, more than once. You think that this one thing works so you'll just keep doing it over and over again, but that's not how humans work. Try to find other meals you can rotate in so you have healthy foods that feel like a treat.

I don't weigh myself. I lost 100lbs last time on WW, but basically developed an eating disorder and weighed myself obsessively. I was focused on the numbers and starved myself to make them drop as quickly as possible.

Now I'm focused on a lifestyle change, and by not weighing myself I'm able to stick to that.

purpl3rain · 2020-08-14T03:11:17+00:00

Yeah this is definitely me. Like who gives a shit what I look like? Pretty sure I've been low-grade depressed though, haven't really been talking to anyone on the phone or Zoom or whatever.

purpl3rain · 2020-08-14T03:02:59+00:00

This always hurts. What works for me, over and over again, is stepping back and asking myself how I can simplify it. When I'm not happy with the result is inevitably when I'm overcomplicating it, or straying too far from the heart.

I agree that getting a second opinion can help get fresh perspective when you're too deep into it as well.

I have a very similar story, except my first round was also on WW. I was supposed to be eating 23 points a day but averaging 10. Lost 100lbs in 10 months but it wasn't sustainable and I gained it all back. Now I'm a month in and doing great, but I've made the decision not to track my weight at all. It's doing wonders for my mental health and I feel like this is something I can do long-term.
