Happy anniversary to deceased parents

I made spaghetti bolognese with the help from my mother.
The result was delicious and I'm happy I managed to do it ^_^

Hello. I am an aspiring Chartered Accountant from India, having successfully cleared the CA Foundation Exam and currently preparing for the CA Intermediate level. At present, I am in my early twenties and seeking greater independence by moving out from my parent's place. To this end, I am contemplating undertaking my articleship abroad and have a few queries 1.Is it advisable to pursue such a course of action? 2.How can I manage my CA Final studies while fulfilling my articleship duties overseas? 3.What factors should I take into consideration before making a final decision? 4. Are there any disadvantages to this approach? 5.Could undertaking articleship abroad potentially impact my future CA career prospects? 6. How can I apply for an international CA articleship program?
If you, or someone you know, have experience in undertaking CA articleship abroad, I would greatly appreciate your assistance in answering these questions. Thank you for your time and consideration

Hi everyone! Just a small rant here, I know it was just ivy day so the tensions are high. I also want to preface that I did not apply to any ivies. Mostly LACs with 20-80% acceptance rates—- in equal amounts.
So I currently attend an expensive boarding school in my country on a 100% scholarship. Very grateful and I love it so much despite the clear wealth disparity. However I’ve had this classmate who has been (first of all, telling me literally every single acceptance, rejection and scholarship she’s gotten) when I haven’t even told her what places I applied to.
Anyway, she’s been at this school for ages. I think since 3rd grade, and her family is quite wealthy. However, she told me her efc will be 25k cause that’s what they want to afford. Although my stats are the same as hers, I’ve done way more in terms of ecs and awards (international sports and arts).Trust me I know what she has on her app cause she literally had no filter and told me EVERYTHING about her app and showed me her common app. Anyway, she got a full ride to a very prestigious LAC while I’m sitting on acceptances with a price higher than my efc. I think I should also preface that I am also an orphan and first gen… :(
I’m just so pissed cause the full ride she got was also meant for those without financial means. I think her family may beslightly struggling w paying for her uni abroad but it still doesn’t make sense cause her siblings all still attend this prestigious boarding school (one in 6th and one in 8th grade) and her parents went for a masters in the US AND UK. And her parents are expats and not local as well.
Idk if they have any money problems rn but I doubt so cause she would’ve told me lol! Im just so salty cause I can’t afford to go abroad at all while a privileged and somewhat nasty and insensitive girl is going to my dream.
Im just so done, I’ll continue studying in my country cause I got a decent scholarship to a community college here. But I thought that I could’ve made a new life for myself abroad after feeling a boost from my current hs scholarship.
Oh well, the rich get richer I guess. She’s just so insensitive as well. And maybe either kind or conceited cause she has never asked me about MY uni apps.
Anyway any kind words would be appreciated. I don’t consider her a friend btw. I don’t know if I’m being inconsiderate but I have taken so much shit in my childhood while these people had it easy and I’m so disappointed. Eat the rich.

We broke up almost 2 years ago now. I found out he cheated and left him. We were in Contact 4 months after a break up, and then i decided its not good for me and deleted his number and social media. Later i found out he blocked me on instagram after i removed him. I would sometimes ran into him (small city) over the summer, but we would just pass each Other without single word, like strangers. He was abusive in every way possible to me and i know i am better of like this. But my friend that has him still on her ig sent me a pic of him with his New gf. He is posting her all the time, with the words i wanted from him. Now i know he is not doing it to make me sad cause we have each Other blocked on everything, so he must be really happy and in love with this New girl rigt. And it makes me so MAD. I know it shouldnt, hell i dont even want him back, it just hurts the way he treated me so i cant trust anyone anymore and im alone and healing still and he has moved on and is happy.. How do i stop thinking about it? It break my heart...

This happened a month ago and I’m still pretty pissed about it. Wanted to share it here.
In 2020, I had my first baby. The maternity leave was 5 months (it’s up to 5 months allowed my company pays for 2 months salary and 3 months is unpaid) and I would have health insurance (my company pays 95% for the premium, I pay 5% at each paycheck).
In January/early February, my newish boss and I discussed my maternity leave for baby #2 (due end of Feb). My old boss in 2020 left and he was so kind. I told her I planned to take 5 months again like the first time. She said ok. We agreed my return date would be 5 months later. She said she’d get back to me about health insurance stuff.
I began maternity leave on Feb 15, and gave birth Feb 16. Well on Feb 21 my boss emailed me and said I needed to sign paperwork for my maternity leave. I read the paperwork and it said 20 weeks (instead of 5 months). That made my return date about a week earlier. That was the first thing that pissed me off. Second thing is I read they only covered for 2 months health insurance and I need to pay 100% for the premium for 3 months. The total? $7,000!!!!! The last thing that pissed me off was dealing with this shit and hearing it for the first time only 5 days postpartum.
I asked my boss if this was the new maternity leave policy going forward and she said it’s the parental leave policy right now. I took that as they wanted to f me over now and could change their policy again for the next parents.
My company is small with only 50 employees. This honestly sounds illegal but I don’t want to get a lawyer because I was happy with my company up until this incident. I’m getting paid full time salary and only working 20 hours per week. If I bring this to a lawyer I’m guessing they’d either fire me or make me work the full 40 hours to retaliate against me.

I am currently using ActiveCampaign. They just raised the price and I wasn't very happy with the look and feel of my emails before so I am on the hunt for new email marketing software. I have about 15,000 subscribers in my database and I send out about 500,000 emails per month. I mostly send out email newsletters, so something that specializes in that area would be good. I would like to eventually get into automations and other things like that, but I'm not doing that yet. The email newsletters need to look professional. What options should I be considering?

Hi, I’m and music and arts student at a predominantly athletic school. At my school the theater department is very small, but it has a cult following of students and parents that get involved every year. Last year the star of the department graduated. She has been starring in shows since 4th grade, and she is well lived outside of the department as well. Since she was leaving last year, I had been preparing to take her spot. This year I got the lead in the show, so this is basically my debut as the new theater department star. This is I’ll be the first time in 8 years that there will be someone different starring in the show, people are expecting a lot. Unfortunately, due to an excessive amount of practice during tech week, my voice is messed up. For the first few days it felt like a normal sore throat, I quickly got rid of it. I woke up yesterday and felt normal, but when I tried to talk it felt like part of my voice was missing, I can only assume that there is a problem with my vocal cords. Only problem is, the show is tonight. After a few minutes of research I have determined that swollen vocal chords heal in about 2 weeks, but I have this performance in 6 hours. I am the only lead soprano, and while there are other people that can do these notes in the harmonies, they all have lead roles so they can not help me during my solo songs. The rest of the cast is middle schoolers. This is my first year as the main character and it is my debut to the theater department. Usually I wouldnt be this worried, but due to us getting a new (better)director, there are lot more people coming to the show. While at past performances there would be around 25-35 people in the audience, we sold around 90 presale tickets tonight. This means that I will have to perform as a lead with the expectation of being as good as the old star of the theater department, while my vocal chords are fuck, and in front of the biggest audience the theater department has ever seen. I’ve given you all of the details and now you can see how urgent this is. How can I get rid of swollen vocal chords in 7 hours in order to sing, with out damaging them? The show is unable to be moved and I’m afraid that if I push through and sing tonight I’ll permanently damage my voice. I’ve been on vocal rest for a few days, constantly drinking throat coat and eating cough drops. What should I do to help me prepare for tonight?

You're kissing him,
It's crushing me,
One hand of yours,
Upon his knee,
A deep breath in,
Try not to cry,
But part of me
Just wants to die,
Your happiness
Means all to me,
I turn and leave.

Happy End of March everyone! I just wanted to quickly share that part 7 of 34 Postcards is live at: https://unanswered.substack.com/p/34-postcards-the-invitation
This month, we are finally learning who Hanni and Käthe are, and how Hilde’s brother, Alfred Lewin, is related to Richard and Margarete. We also meet three new Kuhnt family members. Curious who? Then join me for this month’s episode <3
Here's a little bit of context in case you are new to 34 Postcards, or would like a refresher: A few months ago, I came across a pack of 34 German postcards at an antique store in Palm Springs. The cards were written amongst one family between 1917 and 1967. The oldest card, dated April 12th, 1917, was written by a man named Richard Kuhnt to a woman he calls Gretel. The most recent postcard, dated October 31st, 1967, was sent to Richard at a retirement home in Berlin and signed by B. + F. I got curious about Richard and his family and have started looking beyond the postcards to learn more about them and the life they were living. I also want to find out how 34 German postcards made their way from Berlin to Palm Springs. If you are interested in taking a look at the postcards, or if you'd like to learn more about Richard and his family, or even better, join me in the search for answers, start with my first summary of findings at: https://unanswered.substack.com/p/34-postcards

Hi, 29-year-old male, Dad of 1 (now 2)
I did something stupid earlier and I kind of need to talk to some people about it.
This pregnancy was planned, first off. That's not the part I reacted poorly to. It turns out that because of some heart issues that my wife had last pregnancy after she gave birth the doc wants her off her ADHD medication and her anti-nausea medication.
My wife has ADHD really bad and she's really messy and disorganized. I have always loved her despite it. She's gotten better since we've been married (going on 5 years) but it can get really bad sometimes. For me this is detrimental to my mental health because I'm a very organized and clean person and I like it when my space is neat. Sort of recently, maybe the past 3 months or so, my wife was prescribed ADHD medication and she started taking it regularly and was all of a sudden way more organized, focused, and helped out a lot more with keeping the house picked up. Our other child is a 3-year-old, so it really helped out a lot. It made me feel happy and we were even able to do some home improvement projects that have been on the back burner for a long time.
When she found out she was pregnant, she obviously went off the medication and said she would talk to her doctor about it. I don't know why, but I held out hope that there was some kind of medication that she could go on that would help keep her ADHD symptoms at bay but also not be bad for the pregnancy. I guess that was a foolish hope, in hindsight I was clearly deluding myself.
Today she called me after her appointment and told me the news that she couldn't be on either her ADHD medication or her anti-nausea medication (last pregnancy she had hyperemesis gravidus so the morning sickness was horrible and I felt completely horrible that she suffered so bad). In response, I raised my voice and swore, though not at her but at the situation. Yes, I know that it's virtually indistinguishable between the two in the moment.
Obviously this was a terrible terrible decision and she was very hurt, rightly so, and told me that I was extremely insensitive. It didn't take me long to realize she was right and I've already apologized to her in a big way but to be honest I think I might have really done some damage that'll take some time to heal. I feel horrible for hurting my partner in this way, especially because I've been trying to be mindfull lately of things that are in my control and not in my control. This was very much not in my control and yet I let it get me upset anyway and THEN cursed front of my partner about it. Literally the worst possible decision I could have made.
I'm not here looking for anyone to tell me I was right to feel the way I did or right to do what I did cuz I know it was wrong. I guess I'm looking to find out if anybody else has ever felt this way when learning that problems that you thought were resolved are no longer resolved and have to be dealt with again.
I mean, I was already worried about how difficult a second pregnancy would be with a 3-year-old at home. Now we get to do it with full nausea symptoms and a destroyed house.
Please try not to judge me too harshly, I know what I did was wrong and I have to find a way to make amends to my wife. But if there's something I need to hear I would like to hear it, and any other advice is welcome.

A bunch of links going over the top posts of each month of the past year. You may be wondering why I'm typing this when the title already says that but apparently I need 300 words to post a text post otherwise it get auto-removed by a bot. So not only could I not post "No POV" or "RU/UA POV" in the title (chose UA POV instead) but I have to type out a paragraph to make up for it.
Honorable mention for the top post of March 2023 goes to the video of a Ukrainian soldier been executed after saying "Slava Ukraini". It was one of the top posts of all time but got removed by Reddit admins. I'd like to say that this sub was better for conversations between two POVs but I just like reading drama in the comments for the most part. Happy One Year (ish) Anniversary!

My grandmother (93yo) was recently transferred to assisted living after a very painful episode of back pain. She went from living on her own and managing everyday life quite ok to being completely helpless in a matter of days.
Since she’s been transferred to AL her confusion increased. The first few days were full delirium. After 2 month she still is very confused.
A few examples: she can’t remember we have visited her a few times. Most of the conversations make no sense (“oh you said you have been cherry picking?” “No grandma it’s winter”), she keeps confusing who’s who, especially between generations (she believes we are her nephews, that her great grandkids are her kids’ kids…). Important to note that she takes pain meds. I don’t know what kind.
There were a few times back when she was”alright” that some worrisome events happened: she got lost in the neighborhood, allegedly going to the dentist on a Sunday. Once she didn’t sleep in her home and during the night, woke up, believed the house was on fire, ran to flee and fell. She constantly mixes names of people and tells the same story (but she 93 so… isn’t it normal?).
All of this is dismissed by her children. They really don’t want to hear the word “confusion” about grandma.
They believe that her current state is due to hospital delirium and that nothing that happened before was out of the ordinary for older folks.
I really don’t know what to think. Is it dementia? Is it hospital delirium? How long can hospital delirium last? Does it matter anyway if there is no cure and she’s already in AL?
I’m lost and can’t talk about it with my family.
My parents and aunts are f

A moment is better than nothing. Take your moment and make the best of it.
It's my worst year experience since my wife passed away (sad) we've been together all through our adult lives, sadly she said her goodbyes 2½years ago and I'm just getting my shit back together after much advice and being through the excruciating side of loneliness.
I've always described who I am as responsible and understanding and now I'm convinced age is not a barrier to love so I'm open for valid conversations, not interested in hookups and wouldn't mind to grab coffee at all. A fun fact at my age is I make the best recipes and I prioritize anything/anyone that makes me happy and I hope I can find that someday and I'm sure you have many questions I'll be pleased to answer.

Hi everyone,
Today, I have a blue and gold pilot vanishing point from my collection, which is sporting a Broad Italic Grind that I performed on the pen. This is a very nice wet writer with plenty of line variation and is a unique writing experience for a vanishing point.
There is noticeable microscratching on the body of this pen and the gold knock on the end of the pen. Due to the body condition and the modified nib, this pen will be rated D, although it is in great mechanical condition.

I'm tired of looking at dating apps and sifting though profiles with only pictures or less than ten words that tend to lead up to an OF link (I don't care if people do that, it's just not what I'm looking for. I want to build something real with someone.
I've got trauma I've survived and I've met some truly toxic people in my past and I really put my heart into relationships so while being very friendly and personable all the way though, I also am very cautious and truly just want to find warm, life affirming and humanizing connections with people.
I'm looking for younger people because I feel out of place with my own age group. I always felt more in touch with older people growing up, and now that I'm beginning to be older people, I'm weirdly finding the opposite is true and that I maybe have more in common with younger people.
The people I see in IRL that are my age are starting to become set in their ways and get bogged down by kids, co-parents, and hardened by their pasts. I also have my scars and maybe looking for younger is related to them, but I really want to be genuinely there for someone and vice versa. I have no interest in doing anything selfish or hurting anyone in any way, and I truly mean that, I just hope for the same from someone and I don't want to waste anyone's time.
That being said, If you want to find someone that wants to be there for you and wants your opinion on things just as much as he's willing to provide his time and knowledge towards figuring out life together, talk to me.
I could really use some warmth and people that want to be there for others as well and aren't too scared to be real and open with others. I'll go a head and shut up now.
Thank you for your time reading this and hopefully something nice happens for you just as a cosmic reward for getting to the end of this even though I'll have no idea unless you message me the word "mangos" or something.

That's it. I got a free donut and it was a happy surprise. What a good start to the day.

Hello, I have been living in an upstairs apartment for about a year now and haven’t experienced any problems until recently. We have a new downstairs neighbor who is constantly harassing us for noise complaints. They complained after their first night here. I have a 6 year old autistic son who hardly sleeps. He wakes me up daily at around 3 am. She had told us something twice, then the manager who sent a letter out saying quite times between 10-8, and if any issues arise call police. Well she did just that and had cops come bang on my door at specifically 3 am like I told her he wakes me up and the cop heard nothing. I told him what she is doing and he said let management know of problem. I emailed management and haven’t hear back yet. She wasn’t satisfied with police so she had her music on full blast this morning but I have huge speakers and returned the favor. She is a big bully and had had her and her big friends come downstairs shouting to each other about us, she didn’t name us but made it obvious. I am a mother of 3 and also a nursing student, 30 years old, my two older kids father committed suicide after me being a teen parent with two kids by him, I go through enough and am furious over this drama she is causing! My son is so small and doesn’t run or jump, he tries his best to be quite but has severe autism. He stays up all hours playing with his toys or tablet and isn’t even completely verbal so isn’t screaming or anything. She also brags she is an RN but I would never let my child be around someone like that. You can tell she is the type who bullied people her whole life, her poor children and husband look terrified of her. I’m fed up and would love to cause the most possible inconvenience and stress to her life! Please help and let me know what I can do!! If it helps we are located in Mississippi and I also feel she is racist against white people, she specifically only speaks to black tenants and barks orders at only the white children playing outside. DM me or comment please I am desperate and disgusted! Our lease is up in a few months and I’m ready to get the hell out of here but don’t want her to think she got her way! A nurse harassing an autistic child is truly vile! My son was terrified when the cop came because we tell him don’t be loud the cops will fuss us and when they actually came he thought they where taking him from us and he grabbed onto me and kept asking if they left and where in their car leaving. My poor child I’m so angry!
