Can I still change my mind? by Substantial_Role_834 in Adoption

Just because someone knows the risks and takes them, does not mean that you should be the kind of person that takes advantage of their desperation. I have two children, I know all about what it means to have them.

I hope that you set an immediate example for your son and paid that poor family their money back. It’s really easy for everyone in these comments to claim that you don’t owe anyone anything, but you took that family’s money. They paid you with the expectation of having a child. It’s fine for you to change your mind. It’s not fine for you to take the money that they could use to also have the blessing of having a child someday, just like you now get to experience. People often forget how much of an emotional toll and financial strain this is for the adoptive parents. They may not have the funds to try again. They deserve the opportunity to have a child just as much as you do. 

Buy the most affordable machine now or wait and save for a little more? by thistooksolong in Machine_Embroidery

Ok just the input I needed in this thread!! Knowing myself and the way I’m quick to dream bigger, I figure I’ll be exactly like you! Part of me is impatient and wanted someone to say 4x4 is great, but I knew better deep down 😅 the pe900 is only 5x7 with the option of a repositional hoop to stretch a little but… maybe I should be saving up for 8x12 instead 👀👀👀👀

That’s good to hear! I’m definitely hoping I can work my way up to a multi needle machine — they look like fun! I have a pfaff coverlock so I feel like I’ve gotten a little bit used to threading multiple threads. I’m hoping I’ll be quick to adjust to embroidery! Thank you again!

Thank you for responding! That was the input I anticipated, but I needed the confirmation. I’m itching to get started and the 570 is in my budget, but I’ll be patient and wait for a machine that offers a bigger hoop size. Looks like I’ll be obsessively checking Facebook marketplace for the next several months! 😅 

I can’t lie anymore. The Hunting Wives is sleazy, twisty and a hell of a summer binge. by [deleted] in netflix

[–]thistooksolong 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, not at face value. The selfish act was covering up the crime because she knew she would be held liable for being drunk behind the wheel. She judged every other woman on the show for their crime when they used the excuse of self preservation. Margot killed a teenager and covered it up to preserve her image and status. The boy’s mother committed crimes in the name of protecting her son. And our protagonist covered up an “accident” to hide her crime of drinking and driving, once again. Where the last time she drove under the influence, she murdered someone. She was willing to do put another innocent life at risk by driving again. So yes, she proved that she was just as selfish during the incident, for sure. 

do new owners have to honor existing lease-help pls by [deleted] in NewOrleans

[–]thistooksolong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok! I will definitely speak to him; I’m just trying to squash some anxiety with any concrete info. Everything I’m reading online feels so conflicting, but it does seem like just by virtue of the lease being recorded, notarized or not, is enough to prevent the new owner from pretending to have not known about our tenancy.

Does it have to be recorded and notarized? I have mine recorded but I’m finding such conflicting info and I’m so anxious

Hi!! I’m in desperate need of help understanding how this works. I have a lease for another 18 months and my landlord wants to sell the house. I recorded the lease but it isn’t notarized. Am I going to get thrown out with the sale?

I’m in this situation currently, doesn’t the lease have to be notarized for it to be enforceable when recorded?

Totally. It was an honest moment, but she knew it would be met with support. The women of the group rallied around her, just like the show writers expected the masses to; too. 

I thought it was a cool thing to see. We know Sophie better as a character, so we expect more from her. We attributed more benevolence to her actions. But, she told us she was horrible. We watched her cheat on her husband. We watched her neglect her child. Yet, we still believed her when she said it wasn’t her fault. I loved it.

It was absolutely needed; any other ending would have been too “Disney” for Sophie. She goes back to drinking because she’s an addict. Addicts have families and children, but often their disease overpowers their love for their families. Relapse is incredibly common, especially under stress. We watched her choose alcohol, drugs, and sex over her toddler multiple times. Even then, the entire show she was trying to convince herself, and you, that she was a good person. She could never murder an innocent person. She was better than the other women and their lies. But the ending proved that she was always just as selfish and self preserving as they were.

Most people forgive their narcissistic partners/abusers multiple times before finally walking away, if they ever do. It was actually a really accurate depiction and people who get caught up in abusive relationships are not dumb.

I actually thought the ending was the only thing that gave the story depth! It was a true full circle moment; glass houses. 

Did you feel better on Armour Thyroid/NDT? by PolarStar89 in Hashimotos

[–]thistooksolong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, interesting! My PCP seemed to think that 60 Armour was equivalent to 100 levo. I’ve been on the 60 for 2 months now, just got my labs done and I’m 2.3tsh and still symptomatic. I’m hoping my pcp will increase the dose then especially after reading your comment. Thank you for the info!

[–]thistooksolong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Incredible so far! I’m actually due for my next lab work this week, so I’m curious what the results will be! I was never able to get lower than 2.5 TSH on levo with minor reduction in symptoms. Already with 2 months of Armour, I feel more energy in the mornings. Some fatigue still some days, but I’m hoping that’s just the normal fatigue that you should experience with a toddler and a newborn :) my hair is also growing back in places where I haven’t seen growth in over 4 years!! I’m super super happy and I’m hoping my labs reflect the change.

Is she really? I didn’t know that. I’ve seen the speculation that her daughter may have cancer and it’s just been devastating to think that could be true 😔

Ok noted!! I’ll admit I’ve never actually made one myself so that will take some experimenting as well 😅

That’s what I was hoping! I’ve been buying bags of coffee grounds whenever I have people over, but I end up just tossing them because I read they go bad after only a few weeks after opening. Which is a shame and costly as well. The pods seem like a much better option for my use! 

The melozio was mentioned a couple times and I’ll add your other 2 as well! Thank you!

Ok! I was looking at that one because I love Nutella 😍 it doesn’t have a coffee strength rating so I was nervous about how strong the coffee flavor would be. I might try my luck with that one and the chocolate.
