I just wanna say -- the random comments thread

Felt pretty and happy this weekend after a very long time... Went shopping and splurged on a beautiful outfit because I have multiple weddings to attend coming up (my ex might be there at one of them so I really wanted to dress as good as possible) and I needed a preemptive pick me up. Jewellery is my go-to treat, but every piece of jewellery that I'm currently loving costs way too much to just spontaneously buy.

Stepped out of the dressing room to show my friend, almost a full dress size smaller than I was this time last year (always a great feeling) and a random stranger paid me just the most amazing compliment! She was like "I hope it's okay for me to interrupt, but wow you are so beautiful! You look like a fairy!"

It just put such a huge smile to my face. There's so much horror and tragedy everywhere in the world right now, that sometimes I feel a little shallow and guilty for being so preoccupied with something as banal as a breakup. But I guess everyone's respective personal problems seems the biggest to themselves. I do my best not to think about it or talk about it, but realising I'd have to come face to face with him and his new fiancee in a couple of months was definitely weighing on me. But when I wore that dress, even before I came out of the dressing room, I felt good. I don't really need him, or any man. It's going to suck being dateless at this wedding, but it's not the end of the world. And the compliments don't hurt :D

I’d say the universe is looking out for you!

Just reading what you posted today put a smile on my face @AllAboardTheBlingTrain. I’m so happy you are feeling better!

Thank you guys! I’ll say it oscillates between better and worse but in a way I feel like he did me a favour. I don’t have a choice but to get over it now because of the way he behaved. And now looking back I can see a lot of small red flags that I had ignored. So some days are harder than others but even in my hardest days I don’t want him back. I mostly just want to throw something at him. So that’s ok :)

I’m also just posting a picture of my new dress - it’ll take about a month to deliver, so it’s a picture of the model and not me. But it really is a pretty dress.

The designer actually named it after one of my favourite desserts as a kid, cassata ice cream. I just realised that now when I went looking for a picture of it! Funny how a dress that looks like Indian neopolitan ice cream could make me feel so graceful and delicate.

Go to that wedding dateless, show them you are strong and don't need someone to prop you up. You will look and feel amazing.! Oh, and break out the bling of course.

Thank you so much. I do plan to go dateless because I don’t want to date someone just to get them to the wedding, you know? I’d rather flirt with one of the other singles there if I want to make a point lol.

I will most definitely be breaking out my best bling. He was a tiny bit insecure of how I would just buy myself the jewellery I wanted and not let him get it for me so I feel doubly motivated to bling out :devil:

You go girl!
 
Our neighbour had extra spray (for fruit trees pestilence), so he just sprayed our apple tree! Yippeee! Maybe this year, with the fertilizing I just did, and this spray, we might get a few apples. They appear to be Honey Crisp which is my fave. Double yippeee!
 
@Rockdiamond agree with your last post in the now closed thread and tbh I am very concerned about all potential real threats. All you mentioned and more. One is, imo, greater than others but nonetheless I agree. Many threats. Never really went away just was momentarily driven underground. Now people are emboldened to show how they really feel.

Just frustrating that folks can’t stick to the rules/ subject.

It’s challenging to stick to the rules because this is a religious war in large part so how to discuss accurately? I wish we could just be adults and allowed to discuss freely but I get why that is too much work for our Ella. But without being able to talk about all the reasons we can’t truly have an intelligent conversation and debate

It really seemed like there’s people who purposely wanted the thread closed. It’s not that hard to stick to a topic.
Religion is not the cause of the problems in this case.
We are ALL under threat in the US. Every religion. So no need to single out one
 
Folks you two were two of the reasons it was closed. It's not appropriate to lay blame on any one person when everyone was contributing to the problems. Don't make me give time outs or close this thread please.
 
HI:

I love this thread. It is harmless. Please don't close it down.

cheers--Sharon

What the heck is with the weather? In Pittsburgh we had hyuuuuge thunderstorms with wind that sounded like freight trains (no tornados though) and golf ball to baseball sized hail. The hail came down so hard it set off car alarms. On my flight home from snowy foggy Denver last night they had to de-ice the plane. Geez.
