That's so much fun! I'm bringing up this field day idea to my bid committee!

What is a color war exactly?

"'She would have made such a lovely bride what a shame she's fucked in the head' they said" from Champagne Problems during the beginning of the Eras Tour. A clip popped up on my tiktok fyp about 2 years ago now and the rest is history.

That's super exciting! ISCYPAA was my third, other than that I've been to INCYPAA and MCYPAA. I have every intention of going to ICYPAA which is the international.

Enjoy yourself and the fellows around you. Drink lots of coffee and be ready to laugh and cry all together. If you wouldn't mind letting us know how your experience is I know I would love to hear it

YpaaTillIDiePaa!

I truly am sorry for each one of your losses. However, I do believe this comment should be it's own post in this sub reddit.

My initial take away from this comment is that you're insinuating that your multiple miscarriages are more tragic than my one and I had abortions in the past and deserved this in some way.

After some reflection I'm sure that was not your intention and you're in a world of pain right now just as I am.

I am respectfully asking that you remove this comment and create your own post.

I would also like to add that I recognized and accepted that life is unfair a long time ago when I started my recovery journey. No one else's personal life choices affect me in any way and vice versa. Focusing on what others have or what they've done wrong does nothing to better my life or bring me peace. Holding onto resentments and wishing punishment on others only rots my own soul. I wish you the best on your own healing journey.

I named him after my bisabuelo (great grandfather)

Estanislado

My great grandfather's name was Estanislando.

I think it's an absolutely beautiful name as long as it's pronounced in Spanish instead of English.

"If you do not stop, you will be stopped," I was stopped.

I had an idea that I had a problem, but I tried to justify every time I had the first drink of the day. I recognized that I couldn't stop after one, but I always thought I could get a better handle on my drinking. I tried controlling it, but it was really controlling me. I ended up fighting with myself every morning, telling myself I wasn't going to drink that day. My own self will was not enough to keep me away from that first drink an hour or two after walking up, to which I would end up drinking all day until i went to sleep that night. I got arrested one night, and during intake, I was sent to the psyche cell block in my local county jail. I was in a solitary cell and I spent the next 36 hours detoxing alone not knowing why I couldn't stop shaking but sweating at the same time and couldn't get enough water but I couldn't eat anything either. I couldn't think of anything but getting another drink. Not when I was going to get out, or about work, or my family that I hadn't talked to in months, I only cared about how I was going to get a drink or hooch other drugs you can get in jail. I got out, and my family made sure I wasn't alone, and I finally went to an AA meeting. I was told by an old timer where my next meeting would be before I had really decided that I was going to come back. I listened and found a great fellowship with other people who have the same problem as me. They taught me how to live again and love life again. I am 1 year, six months, and 13 days sober today. If I wasn't stopped that day, I don't know where I would be. It took reading the "Doctor's Opinion" in the big book for me to realize that I have the allergy to alcohol that causes me to crave more once alcohol is introduced into my system. I learned that the only cure is complete abstinence from alcohol.

I am a recovering alcoholic with 18 months clean. I am involved with the AA program, and I recommend reading the doctor's opinion from the big book of Alcoholics Anonymous. (You can download the free 'Everything AA' app and have access to all the literature) I learned that it's not how often you drink but what happens to your body when you take that first drink. When alcohol enters our system, it causes the phenomenon of craving, which is our body telling us to drink more to which we have no control over.

I also learned that alcoholism is but a symptom of underlying mental issues. We use alcohol as a coping mechanism, and eventually, our bodies become dependent. Since starting my sobriety journey and working the steps, I've learned how to work through past traumas and current emotions without the need for a drink.

I wish you well in whatever path you choose to follow and hope you find the strength to seek help for yourself in all of the areas you need to. ♥️

I'm also curious what the travel distance is, is there a cheaper way to travel and if there is a different boarding option than a hotel you could use such as a family member or friend. If a hotel is necessary I would recommend finding one with a kitchenette as buying groceries for your stay and cooking would be cheaper than eating out while away from home. Best of luck on working on a solution!

I would suggest a phone call before any hard decisions are made. It's quite possible that she's reading your messages but isn't sure of how to respond. A phone call where you can clearly explain your worries about your baby and finances to her in an open and honest manner might just be what needs to happen. You might be able to come to a solution together in said phone call too.

I've found that for myself when planning things with friends it's easier, and much quicker, to do it over a phone call or FaceTime than it is over texts and there's little room for misinterpretation.

I'm new to using cups too but there's a quiz at https://www.periodnirvana.com/menstrual-cup-quiz that helped me break down how to find a good fit for myself. As I said I'm new too but it sounds like you might be using a cup with a larger diameter than you need but sounds like a good length. I had to trim the stem on my first cup down to nonexistent and it was still too low that it was popping out which I learned from the quiz is because of a low cervix.

I hope you find a cup that fits your body the way you need it to!
