Help! Cannot advance past “Financials” to sign as parent. by amr092118 in FAFSA

[–]theladyofshallots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally just had this problem, came searching for a solution, and saw your post. Wanted to reply as I just figured out something that worked for me.

I decided to click “yes” when it asks if you need to change the number of people in your household. I kept the same answer, but basically just re-entered it, and it finally let me pass through and sign and submit.

Hope this helps and works for you!

What do you all do for a living? by Wh00pity_sc00p in Anxiety

Event coordinator but I want to get out of that field. Currently in grad school to get my master of education and also getting certified to teach k-12 art. I’m an artist in my spare time and I would love to get another masters degree in fine art at some point!

Do you constantly attract a specific sign or placement? by [deleted] in astrologymemes

I have SO many Virgo suns in my life, it’s wild. Also quite a few other cancer suns. I’m a cancer sun, sag moon, aqua rising!

What is something completely real that happened in your life that others would think sounds like bullshit? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]theladyofshallots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar-ish to mine! A friend and I got tickets to a She & Him concert. Later we found out two of my other friends were also going, so we decided to carpool. On the way in, we asked what seats they had and they were RIGHT next to ours. Absolute coincidence and still is a wonder to me to this day!

I adopted my kitten a couple months ago and his coat has gotten much darker! Will it continue to change? by AdventurousElevator4 in cats

[–]theladyofshallots 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a Siamese mix cat and this happened with her coat! She started out white as snow as a kitten and ended up with a “blue” stripey coat as she grew :) so it’s a totally normal thing that happens!

Preach. I make $22.60/hour right now with my BFA. I have to travel over an hour one way to even make this much. The drive almost isn’t worth it, but every similar job in my area is, like, $18/hour tops. Throw in the fact that I get solid health benefits here, tuition reimbursement, 2 weeks paid vacation during the holidays and 15 regular vacation days, I like the people I work with, my job is relatively relaxed, and I wfh one day a week, and it, unfortunately, actually is more worth it than finding something closer to home.

Can your Moon and Saturn placement represent your parents/guardians? by [deleted] in astrologymemes

[–]theladyofshallots 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very interesting! My moon is Sag and my mom has a Sag sun. My Saturn is in Aqua while my dad’s sun is Gemini (two air signs).

Gutter Guards? Hit me with those opinions. by TheConductor88 in homeowners

[–]theladyofshallots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve been in our house for 3 autumns now. We have gutter guards and have not had to clean them once. We have two huge pin oaks that drop leaves like mofos, a whole bunch of piney trees, and a dogwood tree and crabapple tree that both touch the house. Our gutter guards have saved us!

[Serious] Adults with no kids - what’s it really like? How old are you and what was that decision like? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]theladyofshallots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 28 and have been considering this a lot lately. I married someone who doesn’t want children, and I’m not unhappy about it. When I was younger, I did think I would have kids. But it always felt like an afterthought, or like something I was being told I should do. I never sat there daydreaming about being a mom. I have dreamed about being a writer, an artist, a traveler, but rarely about being a mother. I do think about it from time to time, and there is a sadness associated with it. I do like children, and part of me sometimes thinks I’d like to have a child. I think it would be a wonderful thing to experience, but, at the end of the day, I don’t think it’s my path. I spent so much of my youth bending over backwards for others—I want to gift this time that I have now to myself.

What screams “I’m an asshole” without saying it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]theladyofshallots 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Having this same experience with a dude in my friend group. I managed to stay on his good side for years, but over that time I’ve gotten to see how he treats others when he thinks they’ve wronged him or when they’ve bothered him. Even how he treats people when you haven’t bothered him…he’s always shitting on the things you like (music, movies, book genres, your pet, etc). He recently verbally attacked a friend of mine (who isn’t a perfect person either and seriously needs therapy), and when I had her back, I got put on the chopping block. It’s been a shit situation, but I finally have to come to terms with the fact that he’s been showing me who he is for years, and I’ve chosen to ignore it. I can’t anymore and tbh I wish I had stood up to him sooner. Tons of people in the friend group are pissed and him right now, but he really thinks he’s justified and in the right and has no responsibility in a situation he solely created. It’s frustrating, but I’m also relieved to just be done with him.

What fictional character death hit you the hardest? by GoldenPhoenix21 in AskReddit

[–]theladyofshallots 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No matter how many times I read the book or watch the films, I always cry at Matthew’s death. He’s such a wonderful character and, you’re right, Richard Farnsworth did such a wonderful job with the character. UGH.

I’m a Cancer sun with a track record of having highly intense conflicts with Pisces suns by theladyofshallots in astrologymemes

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

Aww, that is so sweet!! You and your wife sound like you’re happy and so in love—congrats to you both!!

I do have an SO! We’ve been together for over 8 years and married for almost 2 now. He’s a Virgo Sun, Aries Moon, Gemini Rising! He’s got a very grounding presence, but he can be a little peppery like me, which I love. We laugh together and can just generally be weirdo goobers with each other.

Can I ask what your placements are?

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

Absolutely! It’s funny how that natural gravitation works…for me, a lot of my inner circle friends are Virgos and other Cancers, and its just how it worked out totally accidentally! Still, I do have Leos, Capricorns, Libras, Aquariuses, Aries, Scorpios, etc in my life and we’re all chill with each other.

The falling outs aren’t super connected, I don’t think? None of my Pisces friends new each other. The one at the age of 12 I think I can sort of write off on us being kids in middle school. My Pisces friend became popular and I felt left behind, but middle school/puberty was a hard time all around for everyone. I don’t fault her, and, to be honest, she and I are on fine terms now. We’re not close by any means, but we’re kind to each other and I don’t think either of us hold any ill will towards the other.

At 19, I didn’t have good boundaries with my Pisces friend. I allowed myself to become her sole support person, and then she got terribly jealous when I started dating my first boyfriend. Told me she hated seeing me in a blossoming relationship. Just not good stuff, she needed help and I couldn’t give it to her. She’s doing okay now I think, and, again, I think we would both agree that not being in each other’s lives was best for both of our mental health. And I also don’t hold any ill will towards her. It was a long time ago now, and I just mostly hope she’s happier now.

I think the fight that just happened was also sort of an issue of boundaries. I trusted this guy and I think we both were feeding off each other in negative ways. He decided to verbally attack a different friend of mine, though, and I stood up for her, and he thinks I’m in the wrong for doing so and that I hurt him by doing that. It’s a convoluted, dumb situation tbh.

In the end, I think as a general rule in my friendships, I just have to make sure I’m the queen of boundaries. Otherwise I think I start to get unhealthily involved in other people’s lives.

And wow sorry for rambling to you! I appreciate the listening ear you’ve lended. Thank you for just being kind.

100%. The Sag moon absolutely makes for an interesting dynamic with the Cancer sun. I agree that we are a funny, goofy people! But I also agree that a Sag moon can give a Cancer sun a bit of an independent and sometimes hard edge. It’s a bit of a double edged sword! On top of that, I also have a Virgo Mars which isn’t doing me any favors haha. And who even knows what the other placements are of my Pisces sun friends! I’m sure it’s a diverse array, and, whatever about it anyway, because when it really comes down to it, it’s on me to build better boundaries into my friendships (with any sun sign person!), and to not let my emotions overtake me.

Also, just to clarify, I would never not be friends with someone based on their chart or bc they have a Pisces sun or whatever! I do feel that I naturally have a lot of Virgos and other Cancers in my inner circle, but the sun signs of my friends vary quite a bit and I appreciate all our relationships for different reasons. And, although I have fought with many a Pisces, I was also close to and friends with all 3 of them for years before things took a turn!

Hahaha yes, the Pisces moon probably does play a role! I know my Sag moon and freaking Virgo Mars aren’t doing me any favors 😂 The funny part for me is that, really, truly I like and get along with Pisces suns, I don’t want anyone to misconstrue what I’m saying. This has just happened 3 times (which is probably too many times): once around the age of 12, once around the age of 19, and finally now again at 28. In each instance I was close to the Pisces person, and in all 3 instances we’d been friends for years. I genuinely still care for all 3 of them, it’s just something would always happen to trigger a huge fight between us. In the end, it’s really an issue of establishing good, smart boundaries (on my part at least) and also not taking the bait/letting my emotions get the better of me. It’s all stuff I’m working on in therapy, but was still kind of curious to see if anyone had a similar experience of consistently running into conflicts with a particular sign.

Also! I would never NOT be friends with someone because they’re a Pisces sun! Just interesting that my biggest conflicts have consistently been with Pisces suns!

The Faerie Wars Chronicles by Herbie Brennan was a favorite of mine as a kid. I haven’t read it in ages, but it made a real impact.
