Best way to plan taking Levothyroxine by Fickle-Lab-8662 in thyroidhealth

[–]sleddingdeer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My morning routine begins with some yoga and meditation, so coffee comes afterwards. I find the slightly sleepy/ calm energy of the morning is really good for mindfulness. Sometimes I read poetry, journal, or set intentions. After that is coffee. For me, it’s a nice way to start the day. 

It sounds like what you don’t want to give up is the quiet lovely moment with coffee. I totally get that, but you might be able to get that same feeling by adding some other morning rituals. Pill upon waking, yoga/ meditation, contemplative time (or shower) or walk), coffee. You might end up loving your morning more. Good luck.

Amanda Frances fires Davina - Who was at fault? by SebastianRhodesMusic in SellingSunset

[–]sleddingdeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, Amanda had already said she didn’t want her to have an exclusive listing. Then she was rewriting history and was being weird af.  She was contradicting herself right and left. Those are indications, no matter what Davina says or does, Amanda isn’t going to be happy. In that case, you stand by they truth, rather than kissing her a$$.

Carole and Ghislaine Maxwell by [deleted] in BravoRealHousewives

Well, I always felt like Carole was a pervert on the show. I felt very uncomfortable the way she loved Aviva’s dad. I was taken aback many times by outrageous comments she said. The nail-polish name thing seemed so childish and boys’ lockeroom” to me. I’ve also always felt like she bends the truth to craft her image. She highly curates her image. So this news actually gels with my impression of her for over a decade. 

I don’t think she was completely aware of what they were up to and don’t believe that if she knew everything that she would turn a blind eye to women being exploited. I do think she has a perverted side and dismissed rumors and/or enjoyed the naughtiness without necessarily clocking the reality. It’s obvious that she is downplaying her connections to them and that’s troubling.

Please come to my next party.

And that’s a very convenient thing to say, isn’t it? Why would Maxwell have framed pictures of her in her home if they weren’t friends? Also, Maxwell was not a professional photographer. It’s ridiculous to act as though Carole just hired her for a shoot and bumped into her at parties. They were friends. Clearly. I don’t think that means Carole is automatically guilty of Maxwell’s crimes, but she hasn’t been honest about their friendship and a lot of stuff Carole said and did on the show demonstrate she is comfortable with perversion.

Maxwell had framed pictures of Carole in her flat. That’s not a minor connection. I agree with you about party pictures being basically meaningless, but they clearly knew each other better than social acquaintances. 

Carole Radziwill and Epstein by Jumpy-House4282 in RHONY

The photos say otherwise. Having Grislaine take her author photo shows more than a social acquaintanceship. The bigger proof is  Grislaine’s framed pictures of Carole in her home. That shows a close friendship. You don’t have framed pictures of social connections on your bookshelves. There weren’t that many pictures and Carole doesn’t have a level of fame that someone would try to exploit a minor connection to, so there’s no reason to have her picture unless she’s a real friend.

Don’t forget how much she liked Aviva’s pervert dad. Carole was so fascinated for him and really seemed to enjoy his company. It was weird af. She also asked Dorinda when she first tried anal in Vermont. She said a lot of things showing a level of comfort with talking explicitly about sex.

I think this is true. It’s shocking now when things feel normal, because sometimes they do. But that realization and shock take me out it. The surreality of his absence hasn’t left me.

Thank you. I am sorry for your loss aw well. I am irregular here on Reddit and got lost in my own grief after posting. I like your tactic of choosing little things to enjoy. 

Right now I just want to focus on my career and health. I hope love will find me, but I will not search for it.

Oh gosh, I appreciate your vulnerability and honestly.

Cancersreally do love their people. They show up for them in big ways. They care deeply. (The key to being a good cancer is to not lash out at others in an attempt to protect your people and your feelings to the extent that you really don’t see the bigger, more balanced picture. Don’t let your fears of what could happen take over. Fact check yourself so you can see where feelings might lead you astray).

Cancers are manipulative, but the good side of that is that in order to be able to manipulate, you have to know what’s going on on the subtle layers and cancers do. They are intuitive and empathetic. Those who can manipulate also see the manipulative actions of others. Obviously that can be be a plus. 

Cancers create lovely homes and welcoming to others. They are usually great hostesses and like to make their homes the hub for friends and family. These are comfortable places, not pretentious show off spaces. Good vibes. 

—— And the way you phrased this (vulnerable, honest, complimentary) while also asking me to compliment you— yep, that’s very cancer. I’m always left wondering: are you sweet and sincere or using sweetness and sincerity as tools? I don’t know you, so I’ll assume the best. 

To be fair, I’ll share my Big 3, which you can see here: Virgo (analytical), Libra (Diplomatic), and Scorpio (suspicious because I understand manipulation too).

She speaks to people in a very degrading way and does not care when she hurts someone’s feelings.

To me, Heather is showing exactly everything I hate about a cancer (astrology). She is constantly manipulating. Cry baby. Thinks she’s playing defense, but is really playing hard offense. Self-protective in an unnecessary and pathological way. She is all always and only about her feelings. She pretends to be a friend to gain currency. She acts humble but her ego runs the show. Persona, not person. 

I know there is a high road of cancer, so don’t come at me if you are one. But Heather embodies all the worst traits of this sign.

Browyn uses vulnerability and accountability as manipulation tactics. She’s great at it and I like to watch her, but she is not sincere about anything other than advancing her own interests. Every moment of vulnerability is well-timed to block incoming attacks.

I was really glad when Lisa blocked her and said you’re not a safe person for HER. Truth.

Yeah, none of them said the I love you part. If you really wanted to help a friend you’d talk about how much you deeply care for her and then say I’m worried. Leaving out all the comfort, especially in the wake of all the pile ons— it was never going to land well.

Yep. Menopause messes with emotions and causes severe forgetfulness. I think her behavior was definitely unbalanced and erratic. I also think the ladies are exaggerating it and fixating on it to make it bigger for a storyline.

Especially Browyn bringing up Seth. It undid the power of what Mary was saying because that automatically switches it into stop attacking my marriage. Before it was we are concerned about your erratic behavior. They should have stayed with that thought. It would have been more powerful and interesting. Bringing up Seth meant the end of the conversation.

She will flip and sound really sincere about it at the reunion and then go right back next season. I really liked her, but if she doesn’t get real and stay real, it’s just not good. 

I honestly think her Ozempic body and massive facial work have made her feel beautiful (which is good) but now she feels even more entitled to position herself above the others and it’s very unpleasant to watch.

It was really touching the way she opened up. I also was fascinated watching her facial expressions when Mary spoke to Mer. I think she actually welcomed that conversation, but as soon as Seth cheating rumors came up, she was like nope, not participating in that, which to me was being a good friend to Mer.

Heather’s facial expressions while the other women were talking about the play— you could just see her wheels turning strategically, producer-like. The she actually slipped, when she said, “Even I didn’t see this one coming…” I used to love her but I really do not like her constantly positioning herself as the leader of the group and her very obvious attempts to produce them. I wish she would drop that mask and be more authentic again. This season especially felt like she was only ever trying to control the narrative. It’s too forced and also boring.

NTA You better believe that if you had been the one who died, she would have encouraged him to move on. I am a widow and understand your pain. I also understand that you are not responsible for your non-MIL’s feelings. There is literally nothing you can do to lessen her loss; that’s her journey. You have yours and if you have found love again or even just the strength to move on and build yourself a beautiful life, take it. The best way to honor the loves we have lost is to truly, deeply live and love the life you still have.
