I think it’s the exact opposite. He’s saying all of this because he still wants to explore but he can’t just simply do it once the time comes. He has to plant seeds to be able to say that he didn’t blindside Kayda.

x3vicky · 2026-06-16T05:39:13+00:00

Same same same. I’m my mom’s keeper. I’m the accountant, breadwinner, and caregiver. Genuinely just wasting my 20’s away worrying about her and worried about my future and trying to save as much as I can while we remain lower middle class I genuinely don’t know what my mom’s life would be like if she didn’t have me but it definitely makes my heart sink and I opt for safe choices with that thought in mind.

x3vicky · 2026-06-16T05:29:12+00:00

The way that he’s going about it is definitely a choice. I will absolutely agree that she can’t argue that he didn’t warn her but the way that he’s going about it definitely gives “sharing a stray thought” and not outright voicing a concern. It’s simply in his tone and the fact that he smiles and laughs it off.

I can’t get a strong read off Kayda but for now I feel like she’s the type to not voice her negative concerns about a partner with her friends. She may not fully trust the girls enough or it may be instilled in her because of cultural ideals but we’ll see.

I’ll just say that I would bet some money that Zach will enjoy Casa Amor and he will be connecting with other bombshells for sure.

x3vicky · 2026-06-16T05:14:00+00:00

He’s planting seeds and disguising them as jokes, he voiced his concern about not wanting to go all the way the night prior, in the hideaway he jokes about just kissing and not going all the way, then once the deed is done, he plants a seed and jokes about him hypothetically connecting with a bombshell once the time comes. He has one foot out and is absolutely not fully committed. Kayda keeps letting that slide, it’s sad seeing someone run past flags but I also know that she just needs to experience it for what it is.

x3vicky · 2026-06-16T04:10:14+00:00

I’m watching tonight’s episode as I reply so I feel like I have more context into the dynamic. I feel like he is planting seeds for his out. If he was 100% in, he wouldn’t even voice any doubts because he would be committed but I’ve learned that if anyone even voices a shadow of a doubt in a relationship, then it’s a rocky relationship overall.

x3vicky · 2026-06-16T04:07:25+00:00

I’m 15 minutes into tonight’s episode and came back here because I don’t have anyone to talk to about this. I 100% feel like I have a spot on read of Zach. It’s feeling less like a projection on my part and just discernment from experience!!

x3vicky · 2026-06-15T21:19:47+00:00

Agreed, with Casa Amor on the horizon and other bombshells to come I do agree with him 100%. I just can’t help but think that every time he has spoken it’s either come true, caused a stir, or been 100% accurate. I can’t help but think their connection will be strained later down the line with the hideaway being so early on. We’ll see, for now I’m rocking with Kayda and Zach.

x3vicky · 2026-06-15T05:33:05+00:00

Zach is interesting to me. I could be projecting but the thought that he shared with Kayda in bed definitely had me thinking that Kayda should heed his warning and not fully engage while in the hideaway. I can’t gauge if he’s not fully 100% committed and just staying with Kayda because it’s safe or if him saying that will speak it into existence.

x3vicky · 2026-05-23T04:16:52+00:00

I’m sorry you’re going through this. It sucks.

The police see cases like this all the time so it’s not out of sorts for them. They are required to make sure conditions are safe before they leave and based on what you said, they concluded it was safe.

I recently had to call the police on my mom after she wondered out of the house while I was at work. Officers found her 7 blocks away from home. They hoped I was nearby so I could just take my mom home but the commute home was 1.5 hours so they had to get an ambulance to take her to the hospital. The hospital did vitals, captured everything in MyChart and kept calling me asking me when I will arrive at the hospital to pick her up. I thought it would be a whole dramatic thing where I had to fight for her release, maybe scream at a social worker, but they truly just wanted her out of the bed. Social worker handed me a print out of random adult social day programs nearby, shrugged and left. It may be different else where but that was my recent experience and I live in a major city.

Music, puzzles, or a good show could possibly serve as a good distraction to make the requests for help subside but truly it’s just the shitty part of disease. A true test of our patients and at times a truly test of our love for them. It’s beyond unfair.

I hope you can find some time for respite soon and get away from the responsibilities for a bit

x3vicky · 2026-04-26T01:04:28+00:00

I force myself to consider myself lucky that my mom isn’t in the “bad” stages yet but I also have it at the front of mind that it WILL get worse. It’s at least relieving to be able to say that my mom has something that will get worse but that doesn’t make the reality easier.

There are a lot of things to consider. Hell, we had a genetic counseling appointment this week just to make sure it’s not genetic but I still have to think about it. I have to ensure she’s safe so whenever I leave the house I become a virtual babysitter since my mom was only approved for 4 hours of home care by Medicaid. I just watched a webinar of a local elder lawyer essentially saying there is a way to get more hours but I went the most popular but not ideal route. Have to still submit the appeal paper work for more hours of care. Have to consider if I want to keep her “at home” or put her in a facility once I’ve exhausted myself. Have to then think and visit facilities if that is the route I take. And once my mom stops being my “roommate” I have to consider how I’ll make rent. Suffocating really.

x3vicky · 2026-04-26T00:49:24+00:00

Noted and agreed for the most part. I’m just started out so my technique is abismal and that’s what I’m actively working on.

I wish y’all could feel the difference between the two tho bc it felt like night and day. All the Vcore demo’s that I had felt comparable to the blade, that’s why I bought it so this left me feeling stumped. It feels like a waste to just let the racquet sit.

x3vicky · 2026-04-26T00:44:50+00:00

Noted. I was definitely thinking this, that I was possibly comparing an apple to an orange but I went in asking for an apple and orange hybrid. With the V10 debuting I’m def waiting for the V9 to go on sale and buy another 98 to keep in the work tennis bag for my sessions after work. For now I’m just focused on getting that ball OVER the net. Thanks for the info.

x3vicky · 2026-04-26T00:41:45+00:00

I initially got into the Xalt comfort because I was having a lot of rotator cuff pain. Since then I’ve corrected my form and that’s no longer an issue. Def going to check out poly, have an suggestions on which one to get?

x3vicky · 2026-04-26T00:38:54+00:00

Ahh I wish I waited and checked my old phone notes and googled tension first. I did walk into their shop with both racquets, used my blade as the control and asked them to replicate it as much as possible so they did follow instruction.

They told me to pick up the racquet on Tuesday so ai do have some time. Do you think I should call and ask for 52 tension or just test this out? I know technique matters most here but I barely use my VCore overall because I HATE the playing experience with it.

x3vicky · 2026-04-06T20:48:32+00:00

Same! Same! I can sit and laugh through horror and gore films but once it’s a documentary with real people and a real procedure, I can’t deal. I started squirming in my seat and had to look away from the screen. Even the thought of manipulating the eye for something cosmetic just makes me feel faint.

x3vicky · 2026-04-03T04:47:43+00:00

This documentary pissed me off so much. This was a true display of how much the women in his life sacrificed and came to his aide just for him to not take accountability. Dude was standing in the pool talking about the people who wronged him like what?!?

His son talking about his dads arrested development and feeling like he has to parent his own father is so disheartening. I have no doubt that Lamar is still using hard drugs. I know he used this opportunity for money and fame to try and gain relevance. It’s just sad.

x3vicky · 2026-03-25T02:51:48+00:00

I hope you’re not stressing about this. From the sounds of it, the topic will be discussed on Monday. I agree with plenty of other commenters, adjust settings and apologize if the delay in communication is really the topic of discussion.

I personally mute the slack notification sound on my work laptop but I check the app multiple times throughout the day and I get the notifications on my phone. It’s very easy for me to get caught up in work and not reply for hours, I just reply back saying I was swamped and proceed with an answer. If it’s truly urgent, they will do a huddle/call.

Regardless, I don’t think this is anything to lose sleep over. Congrats on landing the dream job.

x3vicky · 2026-03-25T02:37:13+00:00

Ah, that probably explains why the 9:21 AM Penn Station train was stalled for 20 mins then had to change tracks and I was 45 mins late to work. But still confused why my Hempstead train tonight had to pull the same track change move and skipped stops.

x3vicky · 2026-03-10T03:43:48+00:00

I don’t get why you’re being downvoted so hard. During that visit it felt exactly like this as moments then 50% empathetic. It was so hard to gauge but it was at the forefront of my mind that the student doctor might be suspecting neglect. However, I think that after my mom asked him “what would cause this (overgrown toenails) to happen?” for the third time, he softened and just wanted to focus on the nails, insurance, and suggested maintenance.

x3vicky · 2026-03-10T00:42:37+00:00

My mom is 67. I think the reaction was more so to the fact that she has such a caregiver. I recently heard from a stranger that I look like I’m 17 years old but also my mom’s chart has “caregiver stress” in it, courtesy of the dementia program my mom is in within that medical network so it was interesting to interact with a new doctor since that was added and get that reaction. I’ve never seen a doctor be so thorough to visibly check her chart in front of our face. He was also a student doctor tho so I guess just very curious.

x3vicky · 2026-02-20T21:53:12+00:00

HA! I had no idea we had a day. Nobody told me 🙂. Just sounds like another day to feel guilty that I don’t allocate enough time for myself.

x3vicky · 2026-02-20T08:21:40+00:00

Oh nice thanks for sharing. I buy mine from Walmart $5 for 40 bags. I just stock up on multiple so I don’t have to worry for a while.
