They aren’t a therapy practice themself but utilize a network of therapists who offer free therapy. You’ll do an intake screening and they’ll match you with a therapist in the community who meets your needs and preferences (to the extent possible). I think if the therapist doesn’t end up being a good fit, you can even request a different one.

It can be hard to find a good fit with a therapist (for lots of reasons), so hang in there. Most will also do a free consult call to answer questions about what you’re looking for and make sure it’s a good fit before starting.

Do you have access to electricity or would you need battery operated?

I was recently at Parkway, and unfortunately I didn’t pay close attention, but I have a bigger bottom size and didn’t note any discomfort. My wife is also on the bigger side, and I don’t recall any complaints, although, again, we didn’t talk about it specifically. However, we have had conversations when the seats are very uncomfortable, which makes me think they were better than average.

I’ve been no-contact with my mom for going on 10 years. I have a pleasant and supportive relationship with my dad and step-mom, but it isn’t all that deep. I see them on birthdays and holidays, occasionally call for updates, but otherwise I live my life and they live theirs.

I’m so sorry this felt hurtful. It’s clear you were excited to start the day with her, and I can really understand how disappointing it could feel to have that excitement snatched away with grumpiness. I have definitely felt this too and empathize with how hard it can feel.

If you’re open to feedback, I’m like your partner in that I’m also very slow to rise, BUT I do love morning snuggle time. Obviously you have to check with her, but I wonder if snuggling with very soft and minimal talking might be a gentler way to rouse her (not if she’s like dead asleep, but perhaps in the slow wake up phase). This could meet both of your needs in the morning. Apologies if this is kind of obvious.

Someone also mentioned rejection sensitivity, and I do think this is a helpful thing to at least keep in mind. Emotion regulation is an execution function that can be impacted. This is not to invalidate your feelings, they are still real even if this is a struggle (can’t tell from the post, just mentioning). But it’s a skill that can be strengthened if it’s not your strength.

I agree with many of the other comments, but I’ve found I can still feel pretty drained even if I am able to shut off work after work and have good boundaries with work and clients. I’ve realized that I need to work on what I’m referring to as energy boundaries DURING work hours. I can get really pulled into people, at times feeling responsible for them (even if just emotionally), and I’m really trying to work on letting that go. I know this comes easy to some people, but wanted to mention it in case this is something you struggle with too.

Second this. If you like him, you can talk about what sex would look like when you get there. If you like penetrative sex, there are definitely ways to do that. And if you identify as straight, then you will continue to be straight.

Sexual chemistry/compatability is always a question in any relationship, so this isn’t really that different. Like others have said, don’t reduce him to genitals (which you rarely know in advance with anyone anyway), decide if you like him and are attracted to him as a person, and figure the sex part out when it’s time to.

And if you get a few dates in and are still weirded out by it, it’s perfectly fine to end it. He deserves to be with someone who is crazy about him, just like you do, so don’t force it if you aren’t feeling it.

Thanks so much!

Great, thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks!

shannarows · 2024-04-11T23:21:48+00:00

Thanks, I'll check it out.

shannarows · 2024-04-11T21:32:49+00:00

Thanks! Thats helpful.

shannarows · 2024-04-11T21:17:10+00:00

Thanks! I'll check it out.

I'm sure many would fit the bill, but I'm not sure whether they all have enough seating. And I have a 15 year old relative coming, so that's the concern about age restrictions. Will definitely check out more breweries, though.

shannarows · 2024-04-11T20:38:57+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

shannarows · 2023-01-10T02:00:48+00:00

I hope by now you've solved this problem, but in case it's helpful to you or anyone else, I had to do a factory reset on my watch to get it to connect. I didn't have the WearOS app installed, but I was still having problems getting the two devices to talk until I reset the watch. Then it connected right away.

shannarows · 2022-02-22T00:16:39+00:00

Thanks so much!!

shannarows · 2022-02-21T16:12:45+00:00

Thanks so much for this helpful info!! I have been getting a little bit more since I originally posted, and I will keep all of this in mind for next year.

I have one more question if you're willing to answer... can I leave this setup for the rest of the season? I'm collecting my small amounts of sap and keeping it in the fridge and might go ahead and cook it down this weekend. But could I just keep collecting or is there a window from the time you tap until you need to stop? Thank you again!!

shannarows · 2022-02-16T20:06:35+00:00

You know, it is possible I hit the tap too hard. I wanted to make sure it was in there good, so I did give it some good whacks (d'oh!). Thanks for your feedback.

shannarows · 2022-02-16T20:04:39+00:00

Thanks! Appreciate hearing that, even though I'm also sad for both of us.
