I have a monthly subscription of coffee from a roaster in Alaska. Best coffee beans evah! Anyway, I received an email saying that they're switching from coffee to tea, and offered a coupon code for 20% off of coffee beans because they have a lot of coffee to sell before they switch to tea.
While I was reading the email, I was thinking "what the everlovin' fuck?? I LOVE my coffee!! How can this be???" ::insert a Flex freakout here::
Well, farther down the email I read: "APRIL FOOLS!!! We're not really switching to tea, but the coupon code is not an April Fools joke!"
So crisis adverted--whew! But...I'm not buying an extra coffee beans even with the coupon. They charge $16 for shipping alone. So even with 20% a bag of beans for $18.95, I'd still have to pay over $30. No thank you.
P.S. The subscription I currently have does not charge for shipping, but I can't use the code for my subscription--sad trombone.

No Easter egg hunt here, which was always fun with my kids when they were young.
I do believe in the reason behind Easter, but attending church on Easter Sunday is not my bag. I am going to see "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" in an hour and have some Easter popcorn.

Does anyone tweeze their pubic hair. It's something you can do of an evening by the fire.
I met our old friend flex last week, she is lovely and when she re-retires in a couple of years I think she should be a mod again because you people are annoying and I need a buffer.
No offense.
None taken!
I don't tweeze by the fire because I have concerns about properly opening the flue of my fireplace.

I've traveled to Chicago 3 times alone and have lived to tell the tale. I met up with some ML friends and have had a great time. Chicagoians are lovely, friendly people.

I instigated my divorce with my x-h. He basically repeated what your H is saying. I was in my early 40's and I just had enough of his bullying: both with me and the kids once they started their teens. I never looked back.
Good for you--I know it's scary, but it's worth it in the long run!

Alcoholism is a progressive disease. A period of abstinence is great, but we don't get a "start all over again"--once you "pick up", things will progressively get worse. As long as alcoholics continue to drink, their drive to drink will get worse. If not dealt with, the disease can result in insanity or death. The only method of arresting alcoholism is total abstinence. Alcoholics can never drink again, because alcoholism is a lifetime disease.
As you know, alcoholism affects the entire family--not just the drunk. At this point it doesn't matter what he does, what are YOU going to do? This could be his bottom...but is it yours? Your job now is to protect your kids. I'm agreeing with PP's to insist that your child (heck, as should all them) go to family therapy as a group (not H) and also look into Al-Anon and Alateen.

I've become more of an introvert as I've gotten older. But most of the time I'm perfectly happy with it.
My most toxic trait is I'm a "blurter". My intentions are usually good, but I get impatient with BS and will say something "OMG...are you serious??" Depending on my audience, this can hurt feelings. Depending on my mood, I may or may not care if what I have to say is misconstrued. lol

I cracked two ribs at a hockey game about 10 years ago. (No, I didn't get into a fight on the ice lol) I was wearing heeled boots and ran up to the stairs during intermission and I started to lose my balance--like falling over backwards. I would have seriously injured myself if I fell backwards, so I grabbed the metal bars at the top of the stairs, which caused me to swing to the right up against the hard armrest of a seat. My side smacked the armrest, and I heard/felt the pop of my ribs. It hurt so bad I thought I was going to pass out. I was still clinging to the rail, trying to catch my breath. I eventually went to the ER. There wasn't a lot they could do. Took 6-8 weeks before I felt semi comfortable.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. This may be a case of situational depression. But if he gets a new job soon and after the "newness" wears off, he may become depressed again. If so, gosh...I hope he changes his mind about medication for depression. I know it saved my life even though I was in denial leading up to it.

There are different levels of introvert-ness, including being a socially outgoing person but needing time to retreat and "recharge". That being said, as we get older, we become more selective when it comes to getting things done. Avoiding a trip to the beach because of the hassle of boarding the puppers is not being a hermit--it's being discerning and realistic lol
Regarding being uncomfortable with how you look at the local swimming hole--at 63 I'm squishy in certain parts of my post-menopausal body, but I gave up worrying about folks judging me. I want to get in the pool and cool down, dad gum it!

He liked the same exacts things I did so he never put me down about it (like ex-h did). He made me laugh and was openly affectionate. He thought my love of shopping was endearing. He just accepted me the way I was and didn't try to change me. Plus he was an attentive lover and a good listener.

I don't understand the hate either, but it was a very "in" thing back in the 60's. I remember as a little girl being absolutely fascinated by the sparkly popcorn ceilings--it reminded me of stars.
