I personally use a lot of monochrome on any fixed surfaces, e.g. floor, walls, doors, trim, hardware, etc. so that i have flexibility in colorful decorations.

For example, I installed a medium-dark warm gray vinyl plank flooring, white trim, white doors with black hardware, and I stained closet doors from tan to warm dark grayish brown, and then use bright colors everywhere else for decorations and accent walls. This gives me a bit of flexibility in changing colors without having to repaint, or worry about something clashing.

Like you, I can’t stand a complete lack of color, but i do use that “modern look” as a base.

The US hasn’t done enough to prevent the climate change that’s causing all these fires!!

🤣

My sympathies. I wish you strength in this sudden change in your life! 💜🫂

I’m feeling that RIGHT NOW!

My family is on vacation with my mother-in-law (MIL) and my nieces from out of the country. The original plan was for them to spend a week with us, and then stay with my MIL and her husband (J for JERK) in Florida to visit Disney World. MIL is the neices grandma

Well… MIL fell and BROKE BOTH of her ARMS!!

She cannot move her arms so requires 24/7 care which my partner is providing.

On a call MIL had with J, they’re discussing how the new plans are for them all to stay up here with us longer and will only spend a few days in Florida. J says to send them down now and that he’s fine to handle it (this guy has ZERO empathy).

MIL says “but they’ll want to go shopping”.

J: “How hard is that, I drop them off and then pick them back up when they say they’re done. Oldest niece is 22, she can probably drive herself”. She’s from Europe and doesn’t drive.

MIL: “What about Disney world?”

J: “Well that’s not happening now.”

MIL: “WHat?!”

J: “Well the deal was that you and I would see a presentation and we would get free tickets. Since you’re not coming now, I have to cancel”

This guy is a multi-millionaire but is so beyond stingy he will STEAL FOOD from hotels that he’s not even staying at.

And then when J tells MIL he’s going to keep his plans to leave the state in a couple weeks, MIL starts begging J that he cancel his trip because MIL needs him to take care of her saying she’s ALWAYS there for him, and J needs to be for her now. With tears in her eyes begging J, he says “Nope. I’m leaving the state like I planned to attend a GOLF OUTING and give a speech at a funeral for a friend”.

Fucking vile bastard of a rancid maggot-riddled trash bag! I cannot fathom how someone can be so evil.

Very cool! Thank you for sharing! I love mind over matter trickery :)

Go on… :) I’m seeing yoga and stress management helping, but I’m curious about your meditative techniques if you don’t mind sharing.

Might also consider a hair system. Real hair. taped or glued on for weeks at a time. Can shower and swim with them on.

He does want you to see it. Otherwise it would be visually blocked like most historical buildings do in D.C. when going through reconstruction.

There is a phrase for that, it’s called “Jumping the Shark”.

This is my hole. It was made for me.

Haunting.

This is the most gut-wrenchingly dystopian thing I’ve read in a while. I can’t believe it’s not satire.

those are my two favorite names! elizabeth has so many nicknames.

It seems like you’re arguing in bad faith and pretending not to understand the core issues. At this point, you’re either missing the point entirely or you’re siding with fascists, whether you realize it or not.

I get that. I’m glad you’re getting good feedback. I was struggling to offer some sound advice but others in this thread are articulating my sentiments well. I’m happy you’re getting help and that that’s working for you, good job! I’m a strong advocate of seeking professional help from a therapist. If your boyfriend has trauma from a therapist, that’s gotta be a difficult bridge to cross, but I do feel like that is going to be a nessesity in moving your relationship forward, whether it’s from a professional or you end up working that role (almost impossible to do from your position within the relationship imho). My feelings go out to you, I hope you’re getting good advice here!
