Yes.

Sad mad world because girls have been trafficked and abused for years and everyone knows it and no one is being prosecuted 😓

Perhaps the staff had a problem with it personally and decided to rename it without any public backlash.

Personally the first thing I would think is Maxwell, maybe it’s because I’m in the US, Ghislaine is not a usual name here, and also I can’t let myself forget about the Epstein files

Goldfinch-island

They are both hard

Honestly, I’m not sure it makes sense. If you are up for adventure and uncertainty and want to explore a new area, then yes. Your child will be fine adjusting.

However. I have moved a few times and here are some red flags IMO
- lack of family in new location - this is huge. If you’ve never lived far from family it may be a big adjustment. We have no family here and have to pay for our village. It is massively expensive. Much more will be on you.
- current home - you have a 3% home you own and want to rent it thousands of miles away. Even if your friends rent it, this is not the best plan. Renting means you not only are new to an area, have a new job, no family around AND you’re a landlord. I would sell it if you move and then rent in the Bay Area.
- childcare. Yes you understand that it is much more expensive but again, without family, it’s all on you when your kid gets sick or daycare is closed or they call you to pick them up early. Would your new job allow flexibility for this?
- making friends. Harder than it sounds.

Speaking from experience it takes a lot of energy and money to move across the country with kids. You will need to have a flexible mindset and understand that you will spend more money in the process than you anticipate.

If you are in government, government-adjacent industries, or really love working, then yes. Otherwise, maybe not.

Oh, that is interesting, thanks for your reply!

Brass would be pretty but def bring in some colors too.

Goldfinch-island

Colorful rug and artwork would do a lot!

Not really related but I’m curious, why is the tv always on in the background? What do you mean by that?

Goldfinch-island

Shittttt

Goldfinch-island

Was the coffee intact when you woke?

I’m not from there so forgive me if I’m wrong but based on geography wouldn’t Hartford be slightly worse because it’s inland? More snow? Or nearly exactly the same as providence since it is very nearby

We had one and loved it. It just looked SO much better than the ones that stuck out. We went with a Bosch and I really felt like it was as big as many other refrigerators

Goldfinch-island

Anthro, banana republic, loft, Ann Taylor, j crew

Goldfinch-island

No, I kept my device so I only have one device

Goldfinch-island

I have been wondering about all the phone records. Nancy getting photos sent to her phone. Calls from Scott. I mean they should have so much data from texts alone not to mention gps stuff

Goldfinch-island

T mobile, good idea! Okay thanks for the update. I will look into this.

Goldfinch-island

No, I kept my device

Goldfinch-island

Ugh I’m so sorry to hear that

Goldfinch-island

Ugh yes it was this morning for me too. Mine is working okay now though

Goldfinch-island

No, I’ve lived in 4 states now and Maryland is the woooooorst. The drivers here are jerks

I just made a post about this - have been experiencing awful cell service for a while now.
