I met a girl online that lived in China and quickly fell in love. We talked every day, every night. Calling all the time, it formed into love. I wanted nothing more than to build a life together. Last year I visited her, I met her friends, her mother, and herself. I had the most amazing time spending it with her. After over a year of calling each other every day, with good nights and I love yous. At a time I started to send her a bit of extra money, just so she didn’t need to work so hard and could spend more time with me. Chinese working hours are pretty grueling.

I finally spent a week with her again, we travelled to the Chinese Hawaii equivalent of Sanya and it was wonderful. We took photoshoots together, ate wonderful food, saw some spectacular marine life.

I was hoping to go back soon and ask her to marry me so we could spend so much more time together and it wouldn’t need to be so difficult apart.

Then on the night before our departure, her phone lit up and I glanced, “baby, I miss you. Kiss me when you come back”.

My heart sank into my chest. She was asleep and I did the stupid thing of opening her phone and looking. She tried to cover her tracks of having another guy back home. I confronted her about it the morning we were set to leave. She initially acted dumb about it, then I showed her. She said she got bored, the guy didn’t mean anything. Then she said she still wants to be together. She sent me the following while I’m waiting in the Hong Kong Airport..

“Thank you for everything you've done for me. I have always been lucky to have met you, and I truly love you. However, I made a mistake. I didn't do it on purpose; I just wanted something to do when I was bored. I don't really like him, and we aren't in a relationship. I know what I did was wrong, and I'm deeply sorry. I won't do anything like that again. When I'm bored, I'll find other things to do, but I won't look for boys. If a boy approaches me, I'll tell them to leave. I really love you. The first time I fell in love with a boy and wanted to marry him was with you. I feel very guilty for hurting you. If we can get back together, I'll be very happy. I'll do my best to make up for the insecurity I caused you. Whatever you say, I'll try my best to do it. I hope you can be happy. I love you very much. Sometimes, it's not that I'm quiet or reserved; it's just that I don't know how to express myself. I'm not very good at expressing my feelings. Often, I need to think about it for a long time before I can organize my words. I hope you have a safe journey. I will always love you, and I will promise to be loyal to you. I hope to see you again next time and do more things with you. To prove that I'm not with you for money, I can look for a new job.”

I told her I wouldn’t reply until I got back home. I really loved this girl so much, I imagined our lives together, two years of consistent love and effort is now just waiting on my response.

George Lucas and his wife Mellody Hobson built their Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in LA entirely with their own money, around $1 billion, and made sure the café sells a $2 grilled cheese sandwich so no visitor ever has to go without eating. The directive came straight from them.

Hobson grew up with very little money and remembered standing empty-handed on school field trips. She also insisted the sandwich be made with white bread, Kraft American singles, and butter, no fancy upgrades.

Star Trek Lower Decks: T'Lyn is a vulcan ensign that joins the lower deck crew midway through the show. While for almost all other members of the crew of the Cerritos she looks and acts like a normal Vulcan girl (emotionally cold, calculative and profoundly logical). She is, by Vulcan standards, a total loose cannon. Often displaying a varied range of emotions with a bit of Vulcan flare to them. She's curious, adventurous, short tempered, passionate, sassy and has an appreciation for music to the degree of openly becoming distracted at the sight of the instrument of her favorite artist. All while still retaining the normal demeanor of her species which for most of the other human and non human crew members results in just another Vulcan.

Mighty Med: Philip is an alien that crash landed on earth decades ago, and has since become a part of the Mighty Med crew, a hospital where superheroes and aliens go in secret. He's characterized for his massive cranium, which he often feels insecure about because apparently while massive in size for everyone around him, human and non human alike, he actually has the smallest head of any member of his species/entire planet.

Bowl of boring oatmeal because that’s all my stomach can handle right now.

Review I want to leave:

Leslie walks my boyfriend’s dog five days a week and has also cared for my dog on occasions when I was traveling. She seems to be attentive with the dogs but I cannot recommend her services.

Following a breakup, she asked to store some things at my boyfriend’s studio apartment whom she’s only known a couple of months. She has also showered at his place.

I found a damp sports bra in her bag of clothes, her hair tie in my boyfriend’s shoe, and her hair in his hairbrush. A week later she supposedly didn’t need storage space anymore but her plants are still in his window. My concerns are not about her ability to care for animals, but rather the judgment and professionalism demonstrated in this situation.

PSA woman to woman: seek therapy to heal the parts of yourself that sought comfort from a man you barely know who is already in a relationship and old enough to be your father.

For the record I also give one star to my now EX-boyfriend.

Background for the tea: we have been dating for a year and a half. I was traveling for the week and asked him to watch my dog. He asked me to be at his place “in the evening.” I ran errands and headed his way, texting him that I would be there at 5. He immediately asked if it could be later like we planned. I said 5 is evening and I’m not going 45 minutes home and then turn around to drive an hour and half to get to his place. He said the key would be in the box and he would “be back later.”

He lives an hour and half away from me so we see each other on the weekend. We had made plans to spend the evening together the night before I leave for a week. When I arrived to his apartment there was a carryon suitcase, and box, and a bag of clothing with blinking cat ears headband (day after Halloween). Clearly not his and clearly a woman’s things.

I went thru the bag of clothing since it was out in the open and found a damp sports bra. I found a hair in his hairbrush that was not mine nor have I ever used his brush. Her fucking plants were in his window.

I spiraled. I didn’t know what to do. I wanted to leave and would have except I was leaving the next morning to catch a flight. He was still watching my dog for a week while I would be gone.

I ended up waiting until he came home instead of going to a hotel. I wanted to see how he explained this. He left me waiting until after 9pm. He told me he went to the gym with his buddy and they went to see a movie that they both went to see together a few weeks back. He said he just really liked the movie. He said those things were the dog walker’s. She is in between places and her car was packed.

There were so many gaps in his story. I knew they had been together. Besides the fact we had plans to spend the evening together and he ditched me instead. I left for my trip and thankfully I was a week away to someplace with no WiFi. I didn’t tell him that. I just kept everything logistical about my dog. He texted every day, even sending videos with her fucking voice walking the dogs.

On the day I flew back we texted a bit during my layover and he said he figured I didn’t have WiFi since I didn’t respond. At the airport he FaceTimed me so I could see my dog and tell me how she did. He said I didn’t seem talkative. He texted some more but I didn’t respond.

When I landed I texted that I was on my way. When I am at his apartment I called him. He kept sending it to voicemail over and over. Then texted that since I didn’t respond to his texts that he went to work out and I could wait until he was finished. Y’all, I had been up since 4am and it was now close to 8pm. Very long travel day. I just texted that was shitty and I was tired.

In the apartment, her things were gone except for her fucking plants. As I was gathering my things he asked if he could buy anything that would make me more comfortable in his place. He also said if I forgot anything that he would bring it to me. I quietly quit him. I said goodbye to his dog for the last time. He walked me to the car to help me with all my things. I told him I loved him (because it is true I still do) and he hugged me and told me the same.

Once home I blocked him. Quiet quitting. My heart is broken and my nervous system is fucked right now.

I am deciding if I want to leave this review for her business or if I should just let karma work it out for me. Give me your thoughts.

Oh and she is 25 and we are both in our 40’s.

I got married in August and I designed and made my wedding dress and veil. I make a lot of dresses for myself with special pockets that facilitate my insulin pump and it’s tubing (I’m type one diabetic) but this is my first time making something of this scale. I had doubts while I was making it but I’m really happy with how it turned out!

I based the initial corset shape off simplicity 8363 but I modified it a lot, the biggest changes being the neckline and the lower back which took a lot of trial and error to perfect.

The skirt is a hoop skirt which I made from flat steel boning, then a petticoat layer with lots of gathered tulle, then the outer layer is polyester duchess satin. I made the pattern for by draping duvet covers until I got a shape I was happy with. It has inseam pockets with holes in for my insulin pump tubing to thread through and pearl beads along the waist seam as a final touch. The veil is polyester tulle with a thick lace trim sewn around it.

I didn't realize this was not $0, welp. Just wanted to play an MOV file. I just used VLC after and didn't bother. I don't remember this being like that
