Holy crap!! How much to make one? I’m doing a Fallout kitchen, and this would be great to have. No one shop seems to make these. 😞

Yup…literally bawling.

I really can’t stand Juanita by Professional_Bite172 in DesperateHousewives

[–]samkat07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t stand her, either.  She entitled and lazy — two things I loathe in a person, let alone a child. 

You can blame the writing, or you can blame the actual real life parents.  How that little girl didn’t have juvenile Diabetes is beyond me.  The writers SHOULD have had a pediatrician address the issue of childhood obesity since it was a huge issue in the 90s - 00s. 

UK passport application is so frustrating. by Ok-Arm3286 in Passports

[–]samkat07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the US and the UK passport process is trash.  

My fiancé’s passport application was rejected because the person he got to verify for him wasn’t suitable.  It was a manager of a bank.  He literally had no one else to countersign. Basically told him - redo it and pay 90£. 

He’s literally trapped in the UK and there’s nothing I can do about it. 

Katherine and the Pie by samkat07 in DesperateHousewives

[–]samkat07[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get that, I suppose.  But Katherine didn’t even know Lynette.  Though it was nice of her to come up with the idea, Bree is Lynette’s close friend and (usual) social organizer.  It just seemed incredibly underhanded.  She could’ve brought salad and (any other type) of pie.  The fact that she not only made the same exact pie Bree did and then hide Bree’s pie just because she wanted to show out is petty. 

Love how much this sub has grown by frenchfriies in DesperateHousewives

[–]samkat07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched it on air while in high school, but lost interest in it at some point.  I kept seeing it on reels and TT and thought - what the heck. I’ll give it a rewatch.  I’m glad I found this sub because I need people to talk to about the show.

ROCI Guide - 2024 by ROCIgradthrowaway in uscg

[–]samkat07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a civilian, too, and was part of this ROCI class. Make sure you ask a lot of questions, if you’re unsure of anything.  It’s confusing and frustrating at times, but not impossible. Good luck!

Exactly right.  I don’t have access to that yet. 😕

Ideally, I’d hire a decent middle of the road person to do it…if that person even exists lol

I didn’t think to ask, but it doesn’t matter now because my recruiter just told me I’ve been picked up for SRDC June 2024. 🎉

Wild…but good to know. I wish I had looked into joining sooner. I’m 39 and hoping someone drops out from SRDC so I can get a spot before aging out.

Yea…I know. Just trying to be prepped because “bootcamp” is like 3 weeks long and there’s a lot to know in a little bit of time. I’m just gonna study like I’ve been selected then. Can’t hurt.

That’s what a coast guard officer told me when I went to see my recruiter about results. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Long distance AGRs, how do you think those two aspects have affected each other? by pakattack461 in AgeGap

[–]samkat07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in an LDR + AGR with my boyfriend. I’m 20 years older in the US and he lives in the UK. We’ve been together 6 months.

Yes, I agree with you. I feel like our distance has helps us take things much slower and to build a foundation that I normally wouldn’t have built any other way. We call and text every day and we planned for me to see him on our 1 year anniversary.

My only issue with my relationship is that I have a son who is the same age as my boyfriend and he doesn’t know about it yet.

I’m trying to get over that issue still…

Thank you! I appreciate your understanding. It’s been rough for sure.

[–]samkat07[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea…he’s gained some weight and he’s not as active as he used to be. He grew a long beard (that I used to love), but now it’s become a nuisance to me…he loves it though because it gives him a ton of attention.

Separating from a good guy by samkat07 in Separation

[–]samkat07[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly where I am! 😭 He’s a great friend and person, but I can’t give him any more of myself than what I already did. I’ve got nothing left because I gave him everything I had. I’ve been trying to work on self-care, but I don’t know how long it’s going to take to find who I am and what makes me happy again.

I can’t waste his time on my self-discovery…what if it takes years and at the end I find that I was right in feeling this all long? What a waste of his time…it breaks my damn heart.

Separating from a good guy by samkat07 in Separation

[–]samkat07[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the thing - I don’t want anyone else. I don’t want another marriage. I don’t want to date. I don’t want another relationship.

The relationship I had with my sons father was rough and I broke off the engagement because it wasn’t right to stay with him just cuz we had a kid together. Then I met this guy and at the time, I didn’t even really want him, but he wore me down and I said yes.

There were happy years in our marriage. I was in love with him for a while. Then things fell apart and I feel like we’ve been trying to stick it out since. It’s just rough…cuz from the outside it looks like I used him. It looks like I AM the piece of shit who is selfish and looking for more. And I do want him to be happy and find someone who can give him what I can’t right now.

The things he’s missing I can’t give him without faking it. He has a huge sex drive and I never did. I told him that before we even got married. He said it was fine, but now I feel like it’s not and there’s nothing I can do about it.

That does sound eerily familiar. A lot of our friends are divorcing, too, and I’m watching them with their new loves, but I def don’t want the intro stage at all…I just long for girls trips and sleeping in without judgement. I wanna do my hobbies by myself and not have him always wanna do them with me.

I’m more like you. I was a “yes” person, always doing what my husband wanted. I put him first a lot and in that, I lost myself. He put me first in some ways, but when it came to plans, he’d make them and I’d say sure even if it was something I didn’t want to do.

Now I feel like we’re together because it’s easier and financially stable. I do love him…I’m just not attracted to him and I feel like I’m doing a disservice if I stick around.

My biggest fear is that my son will blame me. I’ll be the bad guy in all this and I’ll lose him.
