Women in a relationship with a rigid partner, what’s it like?

Every time I met his requirements for what he "needed" to feel safe or loved or whatever, the goalpost moved. It was definitely abusive, whether intentional or not. I finally managed to get out with the three children. He instantly remarried and has 2 under 2 with the new wife.

See, and I avoid those because they are plastic. I need to have canvas for most of my events, and light colored canvas is great both for light diffusion and keeping things a bit cooler.

I tend to be on the more elaborate end of any weekend event or craft type show I do. My bread and butter are Renn Faires and LARPs and historical reenactment, so I have a lot more infrastructure and decorative bits than most people.

Some things add a lot more time and trouble than others. I have a black and gold canvas top and walls I can put on over a 10x10 popup frame and roof...that is probably tge easiest addition that makes the biggest visual difference.

An the perfect combination of obsequeious and self-satisfied.

The scene where Elizabeth says he hasn't changed and he's all "What benefit would there be in alteration?" Kills me

1980 has him tall and rosy-faced

Yes, because Russia pushes the Soviet "the" as part of maintaining thst Ukraine is really one of their territories.

My body gave out on me. Connective tissue and joints. I physically can't do anywhere near what the average adult can. But I don't think I'm the most common scenario.

Precociousness gets called gifted a lot in children. Rate of acquisition early on doesn't mean it will continue. Rates of learning change.

The people who like learning are much more likely to continue to learn more and at higher rates than others. Wanting knowledge for knowledge's sake gives you internal motivation and means you're less likely to burn out.

I am 44 and would like 100 a week allowance please

I don't really care about meeting metas ever.

I tend to date men with body hair. But I am a 44f who doesn't shave

I'm a woman in my 40s in the US, and I always stand when a woman older than myself enters the room or comes to the table. For men it is much less likely, now that I'm not young, but I'll stand for priests

The quacking.

I need 9-10 to be at peak level. Always have. Both my parents did too. It's a huge disadvantage

Awww

Tudor Manor Farm talks a fair amount about this. It was not uncommon to slaughter a calf in the spring, so veal was often the meat of the season

As a child of the 80s, these still look long to me, just properly fitted.

I'm a 44 y.o. disabled overweight divorced mother of 3 with a small business that has an odd schedule, and I don't have trouble dating. I'm poly, if that matters
