The barn dinner theatre greensboro nc

I have had a lovely sober birthday today, my first in (if I had to guess) around 15 years. I am so proud of myself, it’s a huge milestone for me
It started last night, we went out for dinner with my parents and my in-laws where I would have ordinarily shared a bottle of wine or 2, plus maybe a prosecco to toast, however instead I had 2 mocktails and a diet coke
Then today, usually we’d have a mimosa breakfast, not loads but maybe one or two to celebrate. This morning we did exactly the same thing but with 0.5% prosecco
Next we went on a lunchtime river cruise, which would have been more wine and maybe another prosecco toast, I had 2 more mocktails and some water
Then onto the theatre where I had a diet coke and then a cbd drink, first time I’ve ever had one but didn’t really feel anything from it tbh. I don’t really use weed or cbd in general as don’t like the effect much so no real risk for me trying it out!
Overall I’ve had a fantastic birthday, the best part is waking up today and tomorrow with no regrets, no worrying about how I was, and no anxiety about oversharing or making inappropriate jokes, just happy memories made with my lovely family and husband
Hope you are all having a happy my birthday today too 😜 and as always IWNDWYT!

Cheating story
So I finally agreed to talk with Lisa about what happened. She went back to the guy we had a threesome with and hooked up with him because she wanted to experience sex with a guy while sober. She confessed she was surprised at how different it felt and revealed she came both times, which shocked her. To top it all off, the second time was with no protection. She still claims she is not attracted to men at all and still wants to only be with me.
Yesterday I had some friends help me move most of my stuff to a storage unit and I moved in temporarily with a couple of friends until I can find a new place to live. I also went back to the dog park and ran into Mike, we had dinner and I ended up staying the night. It was an ONS but he asked to maybe be FWB and see if anything else developed. He's cute, sweet, and makes me laugh and after my hurt heals I may explore that more.
After thinking about it, I told Lisa I needed some time apart. The marriage is off the table, obviously, and we are going to NC for a week and then we can talk again to see where we are at. With our past feelings for each other, I doubt we can get back to a friendzone. Maybe FWB could be possible but I don't think I could ever give her full access to my heart like before. No matter how things work out between Lisa and me, going forward I will embrace both aspects of my sexuality.

After the absurd heights that Pierce Brosnan’s Bond climbed to, Eon Productions decided the best course for the Bond franchise was a full reboot. For the first time since the 60s, the British agent was a completely different individual separated from the rest of the timeline. This made for a sharper, more grounded action film with 2006’s Casino Royale.
Daniel Crag’s Bond feels more human, and despite his incredible athletic ability and great skill in fistfights or gunfights, he gets hurt. Like a lot. He definitely feels as if he takes more punishment than any Bond before him. He has a much smaller arsenal than previous incarnations, but his skill with a basic sidearm is usually all he needs to get the job done.
Feats come from Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall and Specter. Hover over a feat to see which film it’s from.

Looking for a great dinner spot within ~15 minutes of the vic theatre! Bonus points if they also have great cocktails and pretty much open to anything
Edit: Looking for something more middle of the road to higher end - as opposed to pizza and beers!!

7 months broken up. 4 months full NC.
When my ex left I read now I feel like too much into personality disorders, trauma and how it manifests, the effects of parenting, just like lots psychological stuff. I think it kind of became a coping mechanism.
Now I’m having this, I don’t know if I would consider it a problem or a ‘super power’ but all I know is it’s making me a little uncomfortable.
When people including strangers are talking to me and interacting with me, I’m reading them so quickly. In my head my brain is constantly running 100 and trying to figure out what’s weird and not weird.
For example; At the dinner table my friend was telling me about her breakup and a new guy in her life etc. In my brain it was going on these tangents about how she’s now in her 3rd back to back relationship, afraid to be alone then thinking about all the ways that could have happened to her. It’s actually quite disturbing but most of the times I’m pretty correct about it because in this case it came around and she admitted herself that she feels XYZ, a conclusion I came to before she even said it. I don’t know how to explain it exactly. Then I started noticing very odd behaviours and kinda started hyper-fixating on figuring out the odd behaviours/ toxic patterns. But they were definitely odd behaviours, I tell my brother just to feel less crazy and he has agreed that they are odd behaviours.
It’s kind of disturbing because it’s throwing me off. It almost in a way feels like I’m invading their privacy. Sometimes it even goes to yuck places like ‘lack of father figure’ ‘lack of mother’ etc. I don’t know, it sounds bad.
btw I never say these things out loud because it’s so intense.
Is this normal at all? Has anybody else experienced this?

English isn't my first language
For a bit of backstory
I (25F) met my now boyfriend (35M) 2 years ago, he got married to E (38F), after she got pregnant at 18, they were high school sweethearts
E cheated on my bf, but they decided to try and work it out and go to couples counseling, yet this didn't stop E from cheating again (with one of her daughters coworker non the less), and her reasoning for this was that she was dissatisfied with intercorse.
i met my bf through a mutual friend at the time he discovered the affair .
we decide to take things slow (understandably) but after 6 months he divorced E and we started to date officially.
my bf's daughter J(20f) and I became very close all things considered, yet she didn't have the best relationship with her mother even going NC after the divorce was finalized, yet a couple of months ago they rekindled their relationship.
a couple of days ago J threw a family dinner celebration at our place and she invited her mom which I never met properly. when she arrived I greeted her, she asked if I was one of J's friend and I told her I was her ex new gf, after which she became a little catatonic.
during dinner things were relatively ok, with some backhanded remarks from E, from what I was wearing, to my make up, and my profession (I'm a seamstress). they went from the usual "I love your confidence" to "I love what you're wearing I would have never guess you'd be that good at sawing" and so on, I decided to ignore her as I thought she wasn't worth the energy.
when the cake came out I decide to make a post to J (that I prepared before hand) where I basically said that she wasn't just my bf's daughter but a great friend and a great person, and she was a reason my last 2 years were amazing; when I said that E did some math and realized that I met my now bf when they were separating.
not even 2 seconds after I finished E stood up to make her own toast talking about how J decided to stop talking to her for in favor of a homewrecking men ( I am trans MtF) who needed married man to feel satisfied, that's when I lost, my bf grabbed my hand and was going to stand up and make her leave but before he could get up I started to laugh hysterically, and told E that she was nothing but a stupid whore who wrecked her own home, that sacrificed her husband and daughter for a bearly legal guy, that most likely gave her attention just because of a cougar kink, and that she's just jealous that the people she made miserable are finally happy.
needles to say the dinner ended soon after.
the next day I called J to apologize, after all it was her birthday, but she said she understood why I reacted that way, and that she will most likely cut contact with her again.
after she said that I felt super guilty, not only for J but also because I slut shamed her idk I just can't help but to feel a little guilty.
so AITAH?

Well, I guess this is my final update before I delete my throwaway and go back to my normal shitposting. Before I give the final update I just want to express how invaluable this community has been. We are a diverse set of people who are caught in a very unique situation. It’s been some time since “D-day” and since I questioned every moral and ethical value I have. I am pleased to say that I now have a boyfriend out of this situation. A boyfriend that I can talk to and see whenever I want. A boyfriend that has acknowledged his faults in his previous marriage and is dealing with the consequences of the divorce proceedings. He has been wonderful and respected my decision to remain distanced from his marriage/financial/custody battle. I’ve made him “date me from scratch” and we are getting to know each other on an entirely new level. We even had a fight! I know that might sound like a strange thing to be excited about but it’s really not. He is starting to experience me 24/7 and get the “real me”. Not the beautiful, curated mistress that greets him at the door. I’m not saying this will work, it may very well not, but I’m excited at the prospect of giving this an authentic crack. I’m so reassured to know that my feelings were in fact mutual, and not a fantasy. Thank you again to this community. You’ve given me so much strength xxx
Interim update: Well, after some NC and wonderful advice from my reddit family - we have gone legit! They have both engaged lawyers to start the divorce proceedings and divide the assets etc. They have done an intake for family mediation for custody arrangements. We have a wonderful dinner date booked for Friday and he is coming to spend the weekend (without secrecy!). Turns out all of my “very real” feelings were in fact real. He even told his family and they have cut him off and he is accepting of the consequences of his decisions. I’m still making him work for it. He needs to “date me” as a single man. I will update you all in a month or so. I’m very aware of what I am taking on and so is he. We are ready to give it a go. Thank you for the support x
Original post: It’s happened! DDay has arrived. Advice greatly appreciated.
He (34M) and I (30F) originally met at work approximately four years ago. I was attracted to him instantly and the feeling was certainly mutual. However I quickly found out he had a wife and three kids. Due to this, I wrote him off as a dating prospect. The thought of being the OW went against every moral fibre in my body. I have worked tirelessly to establish a successful career so I was also very conscious of the risk of workplace relationships in general. We slowly got to know each other over a year as just friends. We worked within different teams so whole-of-office work events was when we really got to know each other. One day we had work drinks and we shared a secret kiss. Oh. My. God. The sparks! Everything was so intense.
I have never been the OW before and the intensity of our connection terrified me so I ghosted him after that, unless it was work related, for around two years. Early this year, at another work event, we finally admitted our feelings. He was in the process of changing jobs so the workplace concerns were somewhat eased for me. He ended up lying to his wife about work meetings to come see me at my home 1-2 days a week. We went to concerts and bars together and we even had managed to go away for weekends. I had the most phenomenal, sensual and beautiful 5-6 months of my life. We would both frequently comment about how intense our connection was sexually and emotionally. We would have incredibly deep, raw conversations and absolutely incredible sex. We both became each others “go-to” for everything. He was extremely open about his family life and deteriorating marriage. I also respected that he never spoke poorly about his wife despite the relationship issues.
A few weeks ago he told me that his wife had discovered some messages between us when using his laptop. We decided to limit contact for a bit but she continued to deep dive (which I totally understand - I would as well). Well, she found all of our photos, videos, bank statements and emails about week ago. The fallout from this has been horrendous. She has attempted to contact me on social media (now deactivated) and told colleagues in my workplace of the affair. She has also told his entire family. On the day it happened he called me to tell me and said that we would have to end things so he could work on the marriage. I was very understanding and thanked him for our wonderful memories. He then reached out again shortly after saying that he couldn’t stand not having me in his life and retracted his wishes to end us. I didn’t agree or disagree. I just said that he needs to go sort his life out at home and we can discuss it later.
As of last night he has returned to their home after staying with his brother to discuss everything. While he is there he is basically on lockdown. We can’t communicate at all. He has acknowledged that he has an incredibly difficult decision to make and I have reassured him that if he needs to completely end our relationship I won’t be angry or upset but I will not continue to have him in my life as a friend. I wouldn’t be able to handle that. He was sad but understanding. I asked that he advise me as soon as possible of the decision so I am not just waiting around. Should I proactively set a timeframe within myself? How long is a fair time to wait? I’m so lost and need to prioritise myself and my happiness as well.
I’ve really tried to be as calm and as reassuring as possible for him as I want his decision to be carefully considered with minimal pressure or influence from me. What he doesn’t see is the devastated mess I am right now. The thought of not having him in my life makes me feel physically sick. I’m scared that if he chooses his wife I will be alone trying to recreate that connection with other people. Not being able to call or text him before bed is destroying me. I slept on the couch last night because the thought of going to bed without a call from him was heartbreaking. I even cried before because I saw his toothbrush when I got out of the shower (lame). I’ve opened up to a few trusting friends about the situation and they have been amazing but I don’t think they truly understand the confusion, pain and frustration.
This is such a unique situation and I am so glad I have found this group ❤️

Hey everyone, my wife and I are going to see a band (Ed Sheeran) at Rockefeller Plaze on the Today Show this coming Tuesday (6-6-23). We're driving up from Greensboro, NC the night before and plan on staying in a hotel nearby, walking to the show, then making the 11hr drive home immediately after.
We've travelled to many cities in the US before, and lived in a bunch too, but have never been to NYC. I know, right? Anyway if anyone has any advice they care to share that would be fanatstic. I've noticed all hotels are charging $40-75 a night for parking which I can live with, it's NYC afterall. I guess my biggest concern is since we have to be at the venue by 5:15am, I don't want any unforseen disasters happening along the way. We plan on walking to Rockefeller Plaza directly from the hotel we stay in, which we haven't reserved yet. Oh and should we just drive up to whatever way our GPS suggests? I was hoping to avoid the whole Wash DC area, which I have driven in extensively before.
So yeah, thanks for any advice. Hope I posted this in the correct subreddit, haha.

A folk festival that is popular in my city (Greensboro, NC) is asking for my rates to video document the 3 day festival. Ballpark how much should I look at charging for just video? How about for video and editing?

Hey y'all I got bored and decided to make an updated masters list of all the predators caught in Washington DC. I wasn't able to find all of them but most and was hoping if anyone knew the rest that would be great.
Full segment- I am not going to give a description because Im assuming every tcap fan knows them 1. Alladin Shamoun username- the_sphinx59 2. Rabbi David Kaye- REDBD 2. Dr. Jeffrey Beck username- Gbabbnsp 4. John Kennelley- specialguy29 5. Sargent Joseph Wunderler- vamale_692005 6. Steven Bennof- Crazy4theNATS
non full segment 7.AMIR FARAHANI- zoso23117 can be seen throughout the episode although he's never seen actually talking to Chris. According to perverted justice website he had a pretty lengthy interview with Chris Hansen. Seemed really concerned about his future since he was from a different country and came to America to work hard and go to medical school. He hit the lotto because he literally lived in Fairfax County and was never prosecuted despite being in the right jurisdiction possibly because he was getting help with a doctor and also medical school is stressful.

1. Arpit "Umbrella guy" Mashewari- imagine_me7 As the nickname states he's the guy who ran as fast as he could midway through the interview. down the highway with the umbrella covering his face since he didn't come in a car midway through the interview with Hansen.
   
2. Artie Makepeace- VAMILLIONAIRE the guy with the hat who plays the good Samaritan excuse to Chris during his interview. I managed to find his last name through a white page search and I know its him because the age matches and according to where he used its the same area as well he however moved to a different state NC. couldn't find much other info about him
   
3. Dennis Thomas- photofrog1962 He was the guy seen in the military uniform throughout the episode who was an engineer for the Navy. Although its unknown if he had an interview with Hansen its very likely because in one shot its shows him walking toward the chair. Due to the fact he was in the military he was one of the cases that was unaired to be prosecuted which was through military court. He moved to Illonis according to the sex offender registry
   
4. Evan ?- evinem78 I can't find any information on him. The only reason why we know he was part of the bust because he was put on a busted list on perverted justice website before any of the convictions took place and when I try to click it its says you must be an administrator of perverted justice or law enforcement
   
5. HAROLD HIGLEY- I can't find his username anywhere. Through a YouTube video doing a background search about him recently it is known that he used to be an engineer for the military right only a year before the Fairfax Sting. He got lucky for a little because the military did not have the right to arrest him for the sting. However later on he would be busted in another sting and got placed on the sex offender list for life. Apparently his family is still really supportive of him
   
6. JOHN PHILLIP JARRELL- Sweet_Richmond_Guy Not much to say about him other than that he's the guy who just ran out the house when he saw Hansen with his arms flapping. According to white pages still lives in the same area
   
7. MARK BAGGETTE- va_breitling The male stripper who came to the house not once but twice according to perverted justice website. He came at two in the morning long after nbc stoped filming drunk and knocked on the door when Hansen's friend the retired FBI agent who owned the house and the agent gave some bs excuse and he believed it. Came the next day and said "Knock Knock" and bolted when he saw Chris. He ended up being another unaired predator to be prosecuted probably because he came twice. Why the first time he came was unmentioned on the episode is beyond me. Later was charged and convicted locally by Fairfax County.
   
8. Sean Akkrwong- kc4545_2000 He is the Asian guy who can be seen walking in one shot. He's also the one who brought the decoy dinner and shoes in the episode according to perverted justice website. Like Artie found his last name through white pages and know its 100 precent him because no one else who live/d in the area with the name Sean and has an asian last name and did a google search and yeah its him. Funny thing is he's actually from the same town as Rabbi David Kaye. Since the shoes and dinner were left at the house we can assume he probably had a Hansen interview otherwise he probably would have just taken the food with him unless he just dropped it like Mark but it doesn't seem to be the case since the food shown in the show doesn't seem to be a mess in the bag and same with the shoes unless dateline fixed it for the air but I doubt they would.
   
9. Timothy Kane- nofreeknclue He is the one who brought the pornographic tape to the bust house it is known he had an interview but how long the interview was is unknown.
   
10. Yonas Getachew- danikulu He is the guy who denied being involved with the internet chat when Chris roosted him saying "so there's just another guy name Yonas". I did a background check on him and turns out he's in the film industry and an immigrant from Ethiopia. I then found his IMD page and get this he's credited as himself as a predator lol. I will provide the link below. www.imdb.com/name/nm3557674/
    

I can't find anymore information on the other 2 however one of the men (possibly) is Nathan Proctor- "texassailor04" I am not sure if he counts because he never showed up to the sting house. But according to perverted justice he did surface at the time when they were filming dateline two. He actually got convicted since he was in the Navy and was about to go to overseas however when the military found out they arrested him.

I’ll start with the back story…
I am a mom of 3. I have a rising 5th,3rd, and 1st grader.
I have recently decided to homeschool all 3 of my children for the next school year and the years to follow.
We are in NC and from my experience, there is so much emphasis on the EOY testing and not much on preparation.. & I’m sure it has a lot to do with the fact that most of the teachers aren’t fully certified.
I am a stay at home mom and I’ve done my best to supplement their learning as best as I can but there just isn’t time once you have to carve out dinner , regular homework, bathing, family time etc.
I had always planned on homeschooling after elementary because I wanted my kids to get the basics but I knew I didn’t want them being influenced by children who don’t share our values. I thought I had time.. I thought middle school is when things would shift but that’s not the case. Even my son who was in kindergarten last year now knows all the “curse words”, the middle finger etc.. this is 5-6 year olds! It’s appalling!
The things these kids say to each other is quite disturbing for such a young age
Not trying to knock anyone’s parenting style but I want my children to be influenced by people that are admirable & that will have a positive influence on them not a negative one.
These teachers are tired, under paid, over worked, and desensitized. Our public school system is broken and I refuse to let my children fall along with it.
This will be my first year homeschooling & I I have recently began my research, and for now I am torn between using IXL & time4learning along with printable worksheets/ manipulatives etc to use as curriculum.
If anyone has any tips and suggestions please let me know !
We are excited about this journey but I don’t want to ruin my kid’s education 😂 so feel free to reach out and give any tips or insight.

A few friends of mine who study in DU nc colleges say that they are quite busy and don't get time for their personal lives. They even cancel plans sometimes and always reply late(2 3 days or something) unless its important. They are also a part of the theatre society. Late reply to shuru se dete the lekin college ke baad se aur zyada ho gya. Is it way too hectic?

Wow KSH is on a roll. How is he so good at spinning plates. Did he learn it during theatre days? He can even stay completely still while it spins. And then do stunts! I like how he gives some good advice to YJH to spin it. Soon they all look so pro.
Erm until he doesn’t. It’s hilarious. He suddenly can’t do it! And it keeps happening. He is as stunned as them. I thought he was being comical at first. Then I realise it’s real! He lost his touch!! He does not give up. Gosh it fills me a little w sadness though. Is this the story of his life? Amazing success and then it gets snuffed out.
Ok back to the srrium and MsY gets thrown to the ground with the use of a hook. Wow. Poor dude.
pd then says they got to play against these guys and they are stunned. I like how DD volunteers to go first. Oh no, he gets folded in half and tossed quickly down. Ok next is KJM. He starts off promising but ends in less than 2 seconds. And his arm looks like it really hurt?!
Wow MSY goes in strongly and he looks like he may win! He tips the guy over and they both land! But gosh, MsY lands w both legs up the air. He looks dazed but DD and KJM just wants a re match! mSY keeps saying he lost cos he doesn’t want to go again. Haha Erm I dunno. Is he acting was the crash landing so painful. pD says go again. Ok re match and just when I thought MSY will win, he crashes to the ground again. W his feet in the air. I am wondering if it hurts the back of head. I know it’s sand but still.
They change the rule and it’s 2 v 1. The professional complains it’s too difficult and KJM and DD rudely says he is so annoying and they wanna flip him over. Haha. Ok KJM and DD go first and Erm DD gets flipped so easily! And I was a little worried. I mean his arm was kinda sticking out. And the. KJM gets hung upside down for a bit. He gently lets KJM head touch the ground for a bit. Gosh but it’s like playing w a bear. He could have given him a concussion
Ok it’s now MsY and KJM w lim tak hyuk the professional. I feel like LtK is more competitive? Or we’ll just worse at hiding it. It looks like a tight match at first then MsY loses his balance and falls over again. KJM runs away. Hilarious. But there is a re match. And just when I thought it’s a rematch for both.. it Is only for KJM. Who is flung down almost immediately.
Wow DD and MDY won! I dunno man. It looks dangerous. I am a little worried about LtK legs.
It’s super hilarious when the lower town guys meet the upper town guys. The lower guys talked about what they did… which is super super mild compared to what the upper town folks did. The upper town guys are in disbelief!!!
It’s a hilarious exchange between MSY and KSH. KSH asked why didn’t they wipe the sand off their knees and MSY face. He exclaims how tired they are that they can’t even go toilet. kSH gives him the trademark thumbs up sign he learned. mSY asks in mock anger if they had spend hours learning that. kSH then says that still he can’t give up on dinner cos mumbak gets digested so fast! Erm the other team looks really mad.
I wonder why KSH said that? It seems like he is trying his best to be funnier in the last few episodes. Since hmm I think July?
It’s tug of war! And they get to pick the crew. Erm the lower team has pretty bad picks! They lost instantly. I like how kSH encouraged the little girl to pull hard and immediately acknowledged the expert as the leader.
Ahh I like his cute face when pulling.
And the DD Seon Ho fake bickering is back as he shouts a ya at him. kSH does that quite a bit.
He immediately went to check on Ravi who was buried. KSH landed on R. He also gives cheers to his losing team that is nice.
But even worse I think YJH rolled over the little girl. Lucky she was on her back and not her front.
It’s meal time. kSH has changed so much since he first had to eat food off the floor. He scraped some clam meat off the shell shamelessly and loves it. Abaha.
He likes eels. He remembered he saying so. That it’s a good winter food. He wonders if the food is going to be delivered by helicopter. Heh there was a drone remember. And the roof opened. Aww they got a whiff of salted fish hanging from their top.
Msy suggest a pain test for R and KSH. They each pulled each other sideburns!! kSH won. Next is R and R won! But he lost hair!! yJH refuse to play. He hardly participates in pity food games.
Ahh I can’t believe lower town is going to work. It’s a rare sight. But the game is disadvantageous to the lower town
Wow - they show KSH ads once more.

Damn.... It's June already. Amazing how fast this year has been passing by. Not much new in PNWestland - all's good and no drama - just the way I like it. Might as well get on with the report - let's go....
The BEST - These are the places that scored perfect 100s. These places are really doing a good job at keeping their kitchens clean. The places that score a perfect 100 are really going all out to do things right and they deserve your support.
Badlands Bistro (f), La Pine (5/19)
Sweet Spot Ice Cream (mob), La Pine (5/19)
Gyro Power (mob), Bend (5/18)
Bluma's Chicken & Waffles trailer (mob), Bend (5/18)

The WORST SCORERS: Now comes everyone's favorite part of the report - the list of Rotten Restaurants who scored worse than 85. I don't post any place that scores 85 or above even if they were the worst inspections for a particular week. 85 is a solid B and I don't want to shame them.
None this week
I'm going to stick these identifiers here so that when you see stuff like (mob) and (wh) you'll have some idea of what they are talking about. I'm not positive about all of these but they're probably pretty close. If you see anything I've missed or I guessed wrong please let me know.
e - fee exempt
mob - mobile
wh - warehouse
rp - recreational park
f - fixed position?
com - commissary
tf - traveler's accommodation
L - Limited Service
If you have time on your hands and want to check out the county inspection site here's the link - https://inspections.myhealthdepartment.com/or-deschutes-county
It's a very nice community resource. Kudos to the county for making it this easy to check up on things.
We come to an end to another report. Have fun and have a great week. I'll be back again next week with more of the down and dirty.
In the mean time - any of you guys remember the Original Iron Chef show from Japan? Greatest cooking show of all time. With the absolute top staff of people that dubbed the show in English. And I'm not talking about the the re-releases where they were too damn cheap to pay the royalties to use the original music. I mean the original! I just found out that my favorite Iron Chef Chen Kenichi passed away a little while back. Here's to you Chen san. You gave MrsPNWest & I a lot of pleasure watching you cook! In honor of Chen Kenichi we will be having Garlic Chili Prawns for dinner tonight and I'm going to use Ketchup just like Chen did.

Till next time....

I just recently passed three years NC with my nparents. It's been a long road to get to where I am mentally and it'll probably never be completely normal but I'm doing the best I can to redeem what was taken from me for 38 years before my autism diagnosis.
One thing that has been a sticking point for me though has been my birthday. This year I will turn 41 years old and for the longest time, even into my childhood, my birthday wasn't much acknowledged. Some years they'd take us to a restaurant I chose,but many years it went by without much notice, like it was just another day. I didn't bring it up usually because I was afraid that my nparents would shout at me for being ungrateful that a roof over my head, clothes to wear, food to eat wasn't somehow enough. I would try to plan parties or birthday dinners as I got older and many of them would fall flat...even had a couple years where no one showed at all.
I don't make appeals like this often, especially in a forum like this, but one of my wishes this year is that this post doesn't end up like many of my posts on this sub, forgotten...shuffled to the dark corners where you only find them if you search for my exact username. I'd like to open my email and see lots and LOTS of birthday wishes from this community I've called family for the last few years as I have learned more about the people in my life.
I won't share personal information here for privacy reasons and sub rules, but if you'd like to send an e-card you can drop me a DM and I'll give that information there.
I just want to know that I matter and my birthday matters (and I know my birthday is in July, it's just something I had on my mind this morning)

My messed up brain remembers his username.
I have done 5 bloody months of NC. I can do it forever!
One day he will change his number or username so I will forever not be able to find him. Or even better when I stop stalking him before that.
Why do you want to reach out again? Evidently he has no time to even be friends. It’s just gonna be the same shit or worse this time. Your last words, if he wanted to wouldn’t he reach out already?
You are weak if you reach out again. And frankly, he’s not worth it. Just get over it sick brain.
