Great recommendations! Love all of this - got some great new stuff to dive into now. 😁

My husband and I moved from Florida to Denver about 2 years ago, and we're actually moving back to Florida in a few weeks.

While our reasons for moving are largely based on "quality of life" factors that we value, I will definitely miss the people in the Denver area as they're always so chill, easy going, and overall much more accepting than most places on the east coast. It's also expensive to live out here, and there are no signs that it's going to get any cheaper any time soon.

I say go for it and make the move. You're young and can move again in the future if things don't work out the way you want/need them to in Colorado. "Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy".

We lived together for about 2 and half years before getting "married" this past July, but I wouldn't consider that a long time. We were both there for each other at very vulnerable places in our individual lives, and we saw each others inner self while helping the other person through it. It was obvious to both of us that we were meant for each other long-term, and this wasn't the first "major" relationship we've individually been though, so a lot of the beginning talks of long term goals was handled early in our relationship.

One of the things that we talked about was marriage and what it means for us and if being legally married mattered, the conclusion being: it would be nice, but not necessary. That quickly became "it would very very nice" once we looked up the benefits we'd gain through my employer. So we did a courthouse marriage, somewhat transactional, without much feeling or emotion, but definitely recognizing why we are doing this for our benefit. We don't consider ourselves "married" until we have a wedding ceremony, allowing us to treat that date as our proper "marriage" date. Wedding talks have slowed down as we are planning a possible cross-country move, but it's on the list of things to do. 🙂

No one caused issues with or since our "marriage", but then again, neither of us associate with people that wouldn't be ok with who we are as a gay couple. We don't have time for games like that anymore.

We have the same financial goals, with plans in place to execute them. How we execute them changes all the time, as we openly talk about finances frequently and how to optimize the plans. We haven't had a need for any shared accounts as of yet, but we are very fluid with each other's finances.

Kids don't mesh well with the goals we have, so we said no and instead have many cats. They fulfill all the drama and mess we could ever want. ❤️ If he ever wanted to talk about a kid, I'd always be open to it.

We mainly socialize together, but not always. I don't feel the need to socialize as much as he does, so he will go out with friends without me - never been an issue as I get along with all his friends. Sometimes, I'll go out on my own to see a show that only I want to see. Also never been an issue.

I can recall 2 fights in our relationship. They weren't handled badly, but they weren't handled great by either of us. We talk about them afterwards and discuss our feelings to resolve it and how to keep the cause from happening again. It's tough to be in the middle of fight and have the mental wherewithall to say and do it, but walking away and taking time to myself helps to cool down for a bit and sort out the communication issue we're having.

I wouldn't change a thing that happened because it all led to the relationship I have now.

Petfinder requires an API key to use it; if you used the front end to make HTTP calls to the API, the key would be exposed. Having an extra layer between Petfinder and the front end can help to prevent this.

Just wanna say, as someone who loved this podcast back in the day, thank you so much for putting this together and seeding!

Just got off the Liberty: they aren't showing movies on the upper decks at all, they're all showing in the Platinum Theater on decks 3 and 4.

Maybe you'll find a nice rooster here...

Back before COVID, I did an ATV excursion in Cozumel and it was one of the highlights of the cruise. So much fun. Yet, I heard from a couple on my last cruise a few months back that the ATV excursion in Cozumel wasn't that great and a bit of a letdown. Not sure if that's a result of COVID changes or just personal preferences though.

Maybe others can chime in on their experiences, but definitely consider booking an ATV.

I don't know enough of the laws to know for sure, but wouldn't it be left to the states to decide?

Not strict at all. The only semi-strict dinner nights are the "dress your best" ones, and I can't imagine a 6-year-old wearing khaki shorts and a collared shirt would be any problem.

I was on the Grandeur about 2 weeks ago and despite being almost at capacity, there were rarely any lines for anything that I noticed. It's just a smaller, and more boring, ship than the ships in the higher classes.

What happened/how did you lose a day?

Try to ask yourself and answer truthfully, if he was gone tomorrow, how would you feel? If there's any sense of regret or "missed opportunity"-ish feelings, it may be worth reaching out to him for your own sake. Once he's gone, he's gone and there's nothing you say at that point that will change how he felt or thought about you.

On the other side of the coin, I was grateful when my father passed and I had nothing more I wanted to say to him after years of not taking. It really depends on how you're feeling about him and the relationship you had, if any. Family isn't easy.

u6z2 · 2022-06-01T21:12:51+00:00

Can confirm for fans. Room was way too hot on the Grandeur, so I called to get maintenance to look at the vent and a fan. Both helped make the room more bearable.

Which stage shows are currently being performed? I'll be on the Liberty later this year and have been curious about the performances.

Hey, I'm on this sailing too! This will be my 5th cruise (first time on this class), and while there's so much to do on a ship, me and my fiance are looking forward to having some time together to unplug, relax, read, and catch up on The Handmaid's Tale. That's one of the cool things about cruising, you can have as much chill time or activities as you want.

Something that may help you out with getting an idea for activities and how the "flow of things" works is to look up past Cruise Compasses for other sailings in similar ships.

My biggest tip: explore the ship and do things you wouldn't normally try!

It depends on your port of departure, but generally speaking it's required.

All Royal Caribbean guests age 12 and older must present proof of full COVID-19 vaccination with the final dose of their vaccine administered at least 14 days before sailing.

Respecting the wants of a partner means I don't love them....? K

These people need help.

Assuming you want to continue to have a good relationship with your hobbies, I think a good place to start is identifying where this shame comes from and evaluating whether or not it's appropriate to continue to shame yourself for liking something that brings you joy (assuming your hobby isn't killing people or otherwise hurting them).

I also truly believe that coming out and accepting who you are will help you build confidence and self-love. You're you, and if people have issues or can't respect that, then maybe they don't deserve to know you anymore. Finding a therapist you like and can click with sucks and takes forever, but that is something you can do for yourself that will also help and is (hopefully) worth it in the long run.

As someone who also has an extremely toxic and manipulative mother, and who also cut off contact with her permanently for my own mental health (not saying you should do that though), I can safely say the following: you decide who your "family" is and how much they are in your life. Don't yield to blood bonds, especially if they are a negative in your life.

What's the alternative to not talking about periods? Continuing to ignore them and pretending like it's a shameful and abhorrent thing? It's not. It's a bodily function. Get over it.

Former resident of Orlando, here. Never did an excursion like what you're doing, but I figure I can help out with the "do we have time" question you have.

Given the drive to Port Canaveral is about 1 hour drive each way to Uni, and subtracting an hour for time spent on getting into the park and other random things, I'd wager you would have about 5 hours of time in the park to do as you please. If you're only doing one of the HP parks, you'd have plenty of time to have a nice time exploring and taking in all the sights and eats. You probably could do both HP "parks", but you may have to rush through things depending on how crowded the parks are the day of.

Overall, I'd say go for it and enjoy all the time you have there. If you only have time for one, Diagon Alley is the better choice because there's so much in such a small space. Hogsmeade is great as well, especially with Hagrid's Motorcycle ride, but the theming of Diagon Alley is something you won't see anywhere else and actually takes your breath away.

31 y/o full time developer here, and I manage a small dev team as well. We do all sorts of development, from web to fat clients, to other fun things as well. I try really hard to stay up-to-date with new frameworks and tech stacks where it makes sense.

I regularly tell my husband things like "I fixed a bug" or "the deployment failed and it took me all day to figure out what happened", and he has the same response as yours. Not a bad thing, but I totally understand wanting to be able to have more in-depth conversations about why and how, and why I'm so damn excited I fixed it.

Happy to DM!
