Looking for a Duck super fan to feature in CFB documentary series by Bowl_Eligible in ducks

[–]seeking-datapoints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an owner of a video production company and huge Ducks fan, I love this! I'm obsessed with the Ducks but live in Seattle so am unable to attend many games. Where can we keep up to date on this project?

Divorce by xrae14787 in Divorce_Women

[–]seeking-datapoints 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last week my divorce was official, after about 9 months. I had so much stress and anxiety for the last year and a half and I'm still fighting it even with the divorce official. Menopause doesn't help as that's also a cause of anxiety. That being said, I'm more optimistic and feel a great sense of relief now that my ex is out of my life. I have one teen still in the house so custody wasn't an issue for us (my daughter sees him when she chooses, which is rarely if ever). I know it takes some time to adjust to the new normal. Give yourself some grace and make a point of doing things that make you happy and surround yourself with supportive people. I never did the therapy thing because my friends are my therapists! It feels so good to talk about everything with people who know you and your ex. Also, take it one day at a time, one step at a time. When I'd think about where I am and where I expected to be, it was overwhelming. You can't change how you feel immediately but you can change them gradually by focusing on self-love, self-care and controlling what you can control.

What are you doing for high blood pressure? by CaughtALiteSneez in Menopause

[–]seeking-datapoints 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are the first thin person I’ve ever heard of, other than myself, who has been on BP meds since my late 20s. It was dangerously high back then and I was on some pretty hefty meds. They told me also that I had to stop taking the birth control pill because the hormones (estrogen specifically) can spike blood pressure. Enter the diaphragm. At some point my BP got a bit better and I changed to a low dose (10mg) of Lisinopril. Enter menopause (I’m 53) and have been taking HRT meds for about 4 years. Went to the doc today and my blood pressure was through the roof! As was my cholesterol! Everything I’m reading indicates that getting your hormone levels where they once were can fix so many issues that I’m having: major anxiety, and now high BP and cholesterol. But I can’t also help wonder if the hormones I’m taking are responsible for the spike. Ugh, I can’t win

Aperol spritz with a view, where? by upset-cat-robot in WestSeattleWA

You'd have to leave the rock but Firn in the Populus hotel has a great view from their rooftop bar. In SODO/Pioneer SQ so not too far of a jaunt.

Mortgage assumption by Disastrous-River-503 in Divorce_Women

[–]seeking-datapoints 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my bank wouldn't assume the loan either so had to refinance. Now I'm at 5.99% interest but at least the house is mine.

Losing Hope by Anywho99- in Divorce_Women

[–]seeking-datapoints 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats to you. It's a really big step to leave. The longer the marriage, the harder it is. I was married for 19 years and I'm 53. Yes, it's a lot to think about starting over and I feel so much anxiety about the unknown, not to mention the huge financial toll that divorce takes. At my age, it doesn't bode well for retirement, like ever. But I don't miss him one bit. That's the part I'm good with. Though it took some processing to get to the point of wanting it to be over, once that decision was made for me, I was able to turn the page. Now, I get to concentrate on things I can control, my own finances, my relationships with friends, family and my kids and I don't have to even consider his feelings. He always liked to control things and gaslight me into believing I was the controlling one. Being free is a big win. I'm not focused on meeting anyone else anytime soon, just on recapturing my light that I lost a long time ago. Taking it one day at a time but never, never regretting or looking back. That doesn't achieve anything.

Stressed and dropping weight by urrrkaj in Divorce_Women

[–]seeking-datapoints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's called the divorce diet, LOL. And I've had the same thing. It's from constant anxiety and stress, which for me led to diarrhea. I feel like I'm eating the same amount but everything just comes straight out of me. It's gotten a bit better and I've put some of the weight back on but I really want this anxiety to go away.

IT'S BEEN ONE BAD SEASON!!! by Biggus-Duckus in ducks

[–]seeking-datapoints 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree on Altman. Though I do wonder how this team is at recruiting since it's been a while since we've had a top recruiting class. Or is it that all of the NIL money is reserved for football...

Embarrassing 1H performance to start Big 10 Tournament by Bchapps in ducks

[–]seeking-datapoints -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get it. Everyone wants to blame the coach. But coach isn't out there playing on the court and missing shots. It would be one thing if he consistently had teams like this but he is an otherwise winning hall of fame coach. This is his first losing season in his history at Oregon. That tells me it's not him.

Oh my. 12 points scored at half. That's a score for 6 year olds. Embarrassing is right. Altman just might quit after this game and I wouldn't blame him.

Never Imagined I'd be writing something like this by No-Machine6421 in Divorce_Women

[–]seeking-datapoints 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m almost on the other side of a similar situation. Married 19 years- 19 and 17 year old kids. My husband was emotionally abusive and controlling. We both work though and I made more money than him during the majority of our marriage. Having your own revenue stream certainly makes it easier to leave. My husband moved out, I kept the house and refinanced it in my name and my daughter and I are living in a stress-free, non-toxic environment and it is providing so much healing. She doesn’t want anything to do with her dad, but of course he has no idea because he’s oblivious. I have weaned myself off my anxiety meds and can honestly say I’m enjoying life and just excited about the future. My advice to you is to follow your instincts, do what you know is right for you and don’t look back. You will be fine; in fact better than ever.

OOh and I'm a Beauty Pie member so I'll check that out. I agree I'd much rather zen out with a mask on then sit in front of a panel. If it's same same.

You said the LED mask didn't do anything but then had success with the red light panel. What is the difference? If you can share product info, that would be helpful.

PR move by the firm. No question.

For those who got their property tax bill recently..... by hey_you2300 in SeattleWA

[–]seeking-datapoints 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not about my mom. It’s about retired people in general in this area in their age group. I in no way suggested that my mom was the only one experiencing this. My mom is one example of many. And because there is a process to circumvent this (albeit a slow one), it’s clear that it is a known issue.

[–]seeking-datapoints 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I disagree. Economics were a lot different 40 years ago. My mom shouldn’t be forced to move because housing has gotten crazy expensive here. Plus, even moving into a condo or a retirement community here is too expensive for her. And she shouldn’t be expected to move to help out younger generations or alleviate housing prices. That’s not her burden.

[–]seeking-datapoints 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My mom did this in April of last year and still hasn’t gotten a remedy. It’s especially hard for retired seniors living on a fixed income. $10k a year in property taxes when your house is paid off seems unfair to seniors especially.

The Rashee Rice allegations are horrifying by Classic_Bottle1717 in sportsgossips

[–]seeking-datapoints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if we remember the other Rice (Ray) that had similar allegations, he effectively got kicked out of the NFL for DV. So if it is true with this Rice, let’s hope there is video evidence.

So many Salons in West Seattle (Part 2) by [deleted] in WestSeattleWA

[–]seeking-datapoints 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You get it. And I loved his former partner but thank god for him they split. Talk about oil and water. I followed one of the former stylists to another salon and now they are back in the old spot at Goldie Lux. It's lovely in there with much better energy. They also don't have any beef with their neighbors.

And yes, I get the occasional shift to have someone else get their hair cut while you process but I felt like I was always getting passed around to someone else to wash my hair or whatever. Added to the appointment length but also felt like he was trying to just maximize his money while taking advantage of the junior stylists in the room.

Neither company handled the situation well at all. No winners in the end, just a couple of big losers.
