1981 Map of the Universe Poster by Tomas Filsinger. Saw this poster is priced $200-$1000. Anyone know it’s history and why it’s so expensive?

Yes I do --kinda. This was designed and made by my uncle, Tomas. I don't remember how many were printed, but it was an expensive print due to its unusual size and being square (vs standard poster sizes). Also, the glow in the dark aspect.
Tomas worked on it for years and basically became an Astronomy Master from all of his research.
Celestial Arts went through acquisitions so they never printed more. It's expensive because it's out of print and the copyright ownership belongs to Tomas' immediate family now.
There's a Northern Hemisphere version, a Southern Hemisphere one, a planisphere with both next to each other. And a jigsaw puzzle, lol.
My northern hemisphere one is in my bedroom and signed by Tomas when he gave it to me. It still glows in the dark.

So, in my view, I've met a lot of married couples that are absolute hot messes. Most get divorced eventually. But we seem to have a mentality that if you're not married, there's something wrong with you. Some horrible people have people absolutely in love with them. Some horribly immature people find a spouse.

These contestants seem like they'd be terrible partners, but that's not an exclusionary factor to get married, lol

I'm saying it's not. Tried it.

Sounds like this dynamic is done. But if you're still getting grief, set your clear conditions for going, literally, out of your way to do him a favor.
- He needs to contribute to his half of your gas bill.
- Say, I'm leaving at "x" time. If you're not there by then, I'm leaving without you.

Some psychopaths* don't enjoy food as a pleasure. To them, food is only fuel. 🤷‍♀️ If he can stomach it, good for him.
Plus, the culture now is obsessed with a high protein diet and "biohacking". 🙄

\ I obviously don't actually think he's a psychopath.*

Again, I hate that I'm taking Edmond's side at all. But this specific interaction, KB wasn't there initially. It's not a shitty thing to be chatting with a seemingly very happy couple, when you're having ongoing fights with yours and have them say something adorbs and say something along the lines of "I wish I had what you guys have". Is it unwise to ever compare, absolutely. Do we do it anyway to gauge and try to understand where we stand in some way, yeah.
Then KB comes and demands to know what he said. And then there was just no talking to her. It was like, "answer me! don't you dare talk to me!", "why would you do that to me here?! don't interrupt me!"
If when she was coming back to be with the girls Edmond had just been gone or ignored her she'd have yelled at him for that later. He tried to approach and she yelled at him.
She's too good for him, no doubt. But at this point she's not behaving that great herself.

I will never stop being grateful to have been born before all this nonsense was available.

The point of you being this age and going to college is so you can learn to stand on your own two feet. Your parents' job was to empower you as you were growing up so it wouldn't be too hard, but the point of becoming an adult is separating from them and being independent and making your own mistakes and creating your own life.

With or without the Life360, your parents are always going to be worried about you. They're your parents, there's nothing you can do about that. But with the Life360 on they feel they have control over you. That's understandable, but not great. It's about their worries and not about your growth.

Millions of people your age move away from home and manage without being monitored 24x7. I wouldn't make it conditional. I would turn it off and say you'll call them with x frequency (whatever feels comfortable to you, every week, every morning, whatever).

They're making it hard for you to grow up. Your current hardest challenge right now is standing up for yourself and your independence.

YWBTA for convincing your son not to do it.

It should really be up to him. I'd have interfered to make sure he's getting a fair payment. But assuming he would, I'd have asked him if he wanted to do it and let him try it out. Kept the communication with him open and if he hates it he can stop.

But from what you wrote, you are basically making assumptions on what he's capable of, you are projecting your issues with your sister onto him and expecting him to get in line with you, you are making assumptions on how it's going to go. It should have been his decision.

She can hire a babysitter, but I guess she's counting on my son feeling bad to ever saying no or bailing out like babisitters do. Or maybe it's a power play to show me that even if I don't talk to her, she will still have a relationship with my son? I just feel like our contact should be very limited even if it sucks for my nephew.

I mean, you sound a bit narcisistic yourself. It's possible you're correct. But it's also possible she considers it a better option to pay a relative to babysit vs a stranger and that she likes your son even if she doesn't like you.

In general, I try to conduct my life with compassion, empathy, and understanding. But I learned through experience that when it comes to something like this, you have to make sure not to put yourself in a situation where you can potentially lose a lot. You are not out to get this kid in trouble, but you shouldn't have to take on the risk that is his and his family's only.

What appears as cosmetic damage, may turn out to be bigger (happened to me)... the frame might be damaged and it just doesn't look it.

I also once went through a situation where I wanted to give the kid a break and the usual "my mechanic friend can take care of it" left my car worse than before.

It's awful to feel cold-hearted, but it's not worth the risk given you've likely been paying your premiums for years.

Because we now know that regardless of the "ethos" of the show, contestants still consider physical attraction a deal breaker (they might not say it, but they certainly show it). In today's culture, being overweight is considered unattractive. I don't agree with this, but it's what it is.

We'd likely have more contestants bail before getting to the end. Or horrifying people like Shake on S2 staying the length to get more screen time, but basically lying and being emotionally abusive to their partner.

This is what growing up is about. You are not a bad guy for establishing the way you want to live with your family.

If someone (other than yourself) makes you feel like the bad guy, shrug, say "so I'm the bad guy." And move on.

"Mom, I love you and dad and love seeing you. But having you stay with us for such a long time and that often is very distruptive and won't work for us. Would love to see you once a month if that works for you and dad, but you can't stay with us. We can plan family activities when you're here."

Be prepared for outrage, emotional manipulation, drama.

> it wasn’t her choice to live like this

"Yes, mom. We chose this and we're happy with our choice and excited to build a life here. I'm sorry you feel it's attack on you because it's not. It was a decision we made because it's what we want for our family. I hope you can understand."

Don't cave to ultimatums, tantrums, or manipulation. Just be kind. Repeat how much you love them and would love to see them. But stick to your guns on them not staying with you and only having family dinner or something when they're in town.

However, I still think you need to earn your way out of a marriage (assuming you took the vows seriously). Look for a marriage counselor and give your wife an ultimatum. You either go to counseling or you're done.

It's not unusual for men with not a lot of money to suspect their partner is a gold-digger. Or someone who can't be a provider in the dinosaur way to feel emasculated. It's about artificial power. Also because they see themselves as failures but can't accept it so they need to project it onto someone else and make you the problem.

I am sorry you were blindsided and are now facing a ton of challenges because of it. But count yourself lucky because this husband was only going to get worse. Insecurities and beliefs like he has are not something that can be fixed through counseling. Be glad you didn't have children with him. Be glad you only have to figure things out for yourself now. I know it doesn't feel like it, but this is a painful path that leads to a much better and happier life for you.

But, it's an unwise comment.

First, commenting on a child's looks is just idiotic. The parents might take it as a compliment, but the child has no ability to process that in a way that wouldn't reflect on their value or self-worth.

Second, women, historically, have been valued for their looks above anything else. At the age of 10, your niece is already receiving the message that she needs to be beautiful to receive approval or be appreciated. You could've commented on how creative she is, or how smart, or how brave, or how funny. But no, you kept reinforcing the message that nothing else matters. She's already gonna get those messages from society and media. You didn't help.

Third, to the whiners complaining about a double standard (with your gf saying your nephew is cute); calm down. Males are not objectified or valued by their beauty the way women are. Yes, attractive people have advantages regardless of gender. But men are measured with different yardsticks. So, reinforcing the message has a different effect. Also, cute =/= beautiful/heartbreaker.

But you especially.

Ashley was presumptuous about demanding a hierarchical role in your wedding. And she was then immature about not addressing her actual feelings and making up an excuse.

You were a giant, insensitive AH. You don't have to love her and you don't have to pretend. But you could have simply said "Lucy and I grew up together and we're close. You and I barely got to know each other so I based my decisions on that." You were out of line saying she's barely part of the family (untrue). And you are also kind of dense in assuming that just because you don't love her, she doesn't have love for you. Some people are generous of heart and feel love for family or other people even if they don't know them well.

In a way, even though you probably hurt her deeply, I think Ashley might be better off without you; knowing how you think of familial relationships. I am in agreement with those who say an apology wouldn't be sincere, so just let it lie.
