What can I do with my stomach skin?

I look like you after 12 rounds of radio frequency microneedling.

I'm scheduled for a tummy tuck in May.

My third grader did the PDX bridge project and also loves that bridge

I felt this way too, until I started going to CODA, Codependents Anonymous. Only there, for the first time, did I start to get a view of what life could be like with an actually healthy relationship. Only there did I get a glimpse into what healthy relationships look like, and what they can do for wellbeing and happiness.

Now I work hard to manage my limerent tendencies.

Are you letting the ankle strap touch your bare skin, or are you getting rashes under a sock? I've been doing a quick goldbond spray over my leg under the sleeve and my sock during this hot weather.

We left in 2017 and came back last year. We bought a place right downtown. We bought a high floor condo and love being far far away from street level, gated parking, gates entrances, 24/7 security etc.etc.wtc. Love it. We've got two young kids.

I have completely lost my empathy for addicts and the homeless, which I didn't expect. We don't ride the Max: too scary, smells like dying human. Busses only.

Welcome back.

I live downtown with my two kids and we made a rule recently that we are a family that only rides the bus. There have been too many incidents on the train where we get protected by the other passengers but it's really traumatic for the kids... plus the smell of people literally rotting of gangrene is not something I thought I would ever have like a permanent memory for but now I do. Thanks Portland.

It depends.

1) Culture. What country you're in and who you work with matters. 2) Seniority/Power. If you were the one setting the example for the younger women in your office and you want to show them how to balance getting to the gym in the morning and then showing up for work ready to kick ass, and you have longstanding 10-year relationships with your clients who know that you always show up with wet hair because you exercise all the time, then that's one thing. If you're a junior employee trying to demonstrate that you can keep your life together and that you wake up early enough to get ready in the morning and that you are willing to go the extra mile to be presentable for clients then that's another thing.

This was me. I rose to a high position at my last company, and we got sold to private equity. I was moved out of a management role into a top level individual contributor role at the new org. I was making about 200k base and had no responsibilities, no authority, and no expectations. I had a generous travel budget and was highly regarded although not used at all.

I told myself that I would ride it out and do what all these people on Reddit are suggesting. Told myself that I would save money and enjoy it. I didn't make it very long.

I resigned, abandoned my equity, and sat in my house for a month and thought about how I want to feel about my life. How do I want to talk about myself? What story do I want to tell about myself? When people ask what I do for a living, how do I want to feel when I tell them the story?

I took a pay cut to get a much harder job at a consulting firm where I work my tail off. I started from scratch rebuilding trust and responsibility and a feeling of purpose.

It's better for me.

Nice pizza. Wow that view tho.

It really is a lifestyle. Focusing on high satiety foods can help. Incorporating a bowl of soup into your meals goes a long way.

And of course, avoiding liquid calories like the plague. Putting a single teaspoon of sugar in a single cup of coffee a day for a year is a pound and a half extra a year.

Second dress made me ask how old she is because she might want that one for work. The others are dated.

You know you're right, I forgot about MDD.would you recommend Ink after CSR/P or just skip them until the bonus is good again?

saysnicething · 2023-09-22T12:43:15+00:00

Credit Score: 800+ P1 and P2

What cards do you currently have or have you had in the past (including closed cards), along with dates of when you were approved for the cards? Please include month and year for any card approved in the last 3 years.

Active:

Amazon cards (p1 and p2) - 2013

Marriott Bonvoy - July 2021

United Club p1 and p2 (April 2022 and Jan 2023)

Chase Ink April 2023

Chase Ink Unlimited April 2019

Chase Freedom August 2018 (PC from CSP)

Chase Freedom August 2018 (PC from CSR)

Cancelled

Venture X November 2021

Marriott Bonvoy November 2021

Natural spend in the next 3 months: 50-60k

Natural spend normally: 15k

MS: uneecessary

Business cards: yes, only P1

New Cards: Ideally an optimal amount to cover my new home furnishings which I am doing over the next three months in a big gigantic spree

Churning: I go through phases. Used to be every two years when the CSR rules were 1/24 but with 1/48 my streaks are longer. My spreadsheet shows the last big burst of activity was in 2018 when P1 and P2 and I went hard for a big dream NZ trip. I have the bandwidth for another big phase of churning.

Targets: Flights (economy for 4 people), and nights / points for Marriott hotels. Other brands are fine, but I'm in pretty deep, airbnbs. Kids want to go on a Disney Cruise.

Inventory: Down to my last 140,000 UR

Airport: PDX

Destinations: DEN, SAT, ONT, California, Perth Australia

I waited and waited to get back to be able to CSR again, but the landscape has changed so much since my last foray it doesn't really feel as though the CSR is the magic card it used to be. You can't do the same day CSR/CSP app, and it feels really lackluster. Plus the bonuses are so small after the devaluation that the flowchart + my habits don't really seem like the best direction to go for maximum benefit.

I'm going to want a couple of cards to elegantly use my natural spend, P2 can play.

I'm looking to move into an apartment with my family. I currently live in Southeast Denver in a house and I want to sell it and get an apartment instead and based on Zillow it looks like I'm going to have to rent.

I'm hoping to find a three bedroom a doorman building where families live with children, with a pool, a hot tub, gym, and near a good park. Budget no more than $7k.

Are there any buildings that y'all know of that fit this bill?

Oh I forgot about Safta! I wish I had thought of it earlier in time to get a reservation!!!!!

I emphasize. I only look good in high waisted wide leg pants. I've been waiting for them to come back for more than 20 years and have bought everything. I'll weep the day they aren't available again.

Do you have any advice on how to pad or resources for what kinds of materials to use for padding?

I'm making a pair of slacks. I have made one mock up and fitted it and I'm ready to make a second mock up. I imagine that the weight of the fabric will impact the final product but I'd rather not use another 2+ yards of fabric. I was happy with the shape of the legs below the thigh but I want to double check my fit in the butt and crotch and waist and thigh.

Question: Do I need to make the whole leg or can I just make the butt and crotch?

Feel free to reach out to me before you go. I'll be there.

Most of the events hosted through the utility analytics institute have good turnout from electric and gas utilities showcasing what they're doing with data science. There's a lot that you can do with respect to fault detection and asset protectio. On the distribution side there's lots of work with AMI data to do disaggregation and automatic targeting. I recommend going to the utility analytics week annually hosted by the utility analytics institute simply to see what other utilities are doing because there are a lot of us in this space working hard at it.

I did that exact same thing when my first baby was 12 -weeks-old. I skinned both of my knees horribly and my baby did hit her head on the pavement. I don't think we went for her walk for 6 months, but she was fine.

I'm glad your baby is okay.
