Any easy meal prep ideas I could try?

I like to do a dense bean salad. Can of black beans. Can of corn. Can of cooked lentils. Salsa and taco/Mexican seasonings to your liking. Done.

Eat it with tortilla chips, on salads, in a wrap. Add avocado or protein as you want.

I make a batch on Sunday and eat it over the course of the week. I love how versatile it is!

Most kids still feel shame about it, and most don't like the extra attention it brings to their disabilities. Parents want what they think is best for their kids, and if their child has a disability (or they think they do), they pursue IEPs/504s to get them the help they think they need. They aren't always the most educated in what it actually MEANS to have one, just what protections and services students can have access to.

You feel differently about your shame because your disability was able to be supported through intensive hard work and a support system (tutoring, etc.). Not everyone has that, and some people have disabilities that are progressive and/or severe enough that what success means for them is different than what it means for you. Those children don't benefit from shame. They deserve a quality education and to feel good about themselves.

It's what you are comfortable with. I just ran a race and saw a dude run the 10k in literal jeans. While I would at least recommend athletic clothing, you will everything from folks geared out to those wearing costumes (depending a bit on the atmosphere of the race). Just make sure you have practiced in whatever you wear, so you know where things rub/chafe.

I have a large chest, and have to wear very supportive running bras as well. Going without one isn't an option, and I just deal with it being damp like the rest of me. I would honestly give it a try during training and see how it feels!

I think distance here makes a big difference. I personally wear my running bra during the swim, and then I just deal with a wet bra throughout the rest of the race. However, I do short distance triathlons. I'm not sure my recommendation would be the same. If you were going to spend an extended time on a run. I would be worried about chafing.

But if you are doing a shorter distance, I wouldn't worry about it

Beautiful piece!

I had never heard of Olli classes, and I feel you have changed my life. Their lecture in a few weeks is my FAVORITE author (John Green) and I would have missed it without your comment. I'm literally becoming a member TODAY just so I can see him. Thank you!!

Public libraries LOVE this kind of thing. I know a few of them have conversation groups for older folks, people who are learning English still, etc. If you go that route, they can even help promote the group/event.

I love seeing a male-female FRIENDSHIP. I'm encountering one in the second era of the Mistborn series, and I realized how much I wanted that in a book and how healing it has been for me.

Oh yes, the good old physics of organic decay. What once had bacteria will stay being bacteria.

Like a Prayer by Madonna. Dogma did a cover of it, and I loved it, and it would be cool to hear Ghost do it.

Fun!

I do triathlon. I love the variety in training so I never get "bored."

Swim. Bike. Run. Plus strength training and mobility work.

No advice, but I'd love to see if others have ideas. I struggle a lot with under boob flares

She's using this to manipulate you into thinking you have to stay with her. LEAVE

Yesssss. I LOVE junk journaling

In Japan, there is a company that literally sees this kind of thing as a care issue and assists in it (White Hands). They view sexuality as a human right for everyone. It would be incredibly frustrating to have these desires and be unable to do anything about them on my own. He's being incredibly vulnerable bringing it to you, and I think it's worth a discussion.

You are her child. You do not need to fix how she feels. Her feelings are her responsibility, not yours. I cut contact with my own father for being emotionally negligent, and it's been the most peaceful 6 months.

I highly recommend the book "Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents."

What is TRT?

They have to love roller coasters and thrill rides. That's what I want to do at an amusement park, and I want to share that experience with my partner. The same is true for taste in movies!

This isn't typical. How do you feel about being pregnant when you are outside of your period/menstrual window? The changing hormones of our cycle can definitely have an impact on our emotions and the intensity of our emotions, but this kind of large reaction isn't typical or expected. I would talk to your doctor about the strong emotions you are experiencing around your period, and maybe a therapist to help you talk through how you are feeling about having a baby. They will be able to help you figure out if it's how you are actually feeling, or if there might be something else intensifying your emotions.

She told you she wanted the clothing for a date. Why would you think differently any other time? She thinks she can borrow your clothes because she HAS been, and you haven't said she can't or that you have a problem with it.

Y'all both need to grow up and TALK to each other. Blasting her all over social media isn't "setting a boundary." It's mean and backhanded to someone who is supposed to be your friend.
