Congratulations! It looks like 30 is going to be a good year for you. Enjoy living with your guy. I remember how exciting everything was in the beginning. It’s still good after living together for three years, but not as exciting as it used to be lol.

I found your site at just the right time for me . I also am older (34) and have a house and a job and I’m in school as well. My love is inconvenient for more than one reason though. I fell for someone significantly younger and who is in the process of joining the Navy. Like you I feel like there is little info out there for us older people. I’m not sure what the future holds for my boyfriend and I but I know the next few months are going to be one hell of a ride and then I will figure out next steps after that. Thanks for posting this. I helps to know you aren’t out there alone .

Comment on Pro tip: meet needs where needs aren’t already being met. by Shannon

I have the same damn situation near me, plus one! Walgreen’s on one corner, Rite Aid directly across the street, CVS directly across from the Rite Aid. Because that makes sense.

I get it with gas stations — price wars are fun to watch and benefit from — but drug stores? o_O

I’m not sure why CVS and Walgreens has competition like that but it’s like this where I’m from too. Wherever there’s a Walgreens, 95% of the time, there’s a CVS nearby too. There’s never a standalone CVS, it’s ALWAYS by a Walgreens.

In fact, two are right by my house too. Whenever I go to the bus stop to go to campus, I have to walk past them. I tend to shop at both; both have their own individual sales and depending on what I need at that given time is what store I go in.

Considering they’re both almost exactly alike inside, you’d think they’d be sensible and build away from each other instead of across the street from each other. People are weird.

For some odd reason, competitors enjoy being right next to each other. A similar scenario would be how not too many years ago there was a Target around the corner of practically every Walmart. And even farther back was K-Mart and Target or K-Mart and Walmart.

But the BIGGEST competition for each competitor is the same competitor: Walgreens’ biggest competitor is another Walgreens, Target’s is another Target, CVS is another CVS… They go for the most population, really. Small towns don’t really appease their need for competition as much as the larger towns do.

Comment on My private hell: taxidermy. by Teal

I have the exact same phobia and people react the same way. They laugh and I laugh too because it’s so ridiculous. I also have the same exceptions with small rodents, birds and fish. I’ve never even heard of someone having the same thing. I went to a college that had a good amount of taxidermy but mainly small rodents so I was okay with it but there was one classroom with a Caribu head and a Walrus head. Took me 45 minutes to walk into the room for the first time. Whenever I go out of state with someone (I’m from NY there isn’t much taxidermy here) I make them walk into every place we go first to scope it out so I can know what I’m going to be dealing with. A few years ago I had hypnosis done to try to get over this and it actually helped a whole lot. Now, for the most part, I can handle whatever it is as long as I know what and where it is before I see it. I just can’t be surprised by it. Although, I’m not sure i could do a full bear or something like that.

I have the same phobia too.It all started when I was around 6 yrs old and my family and I visted a place called space farms.Once you walk in ,you are surrounded by deer heads,bears,zebras you name it! The owner of the zoo loved hunting and had his trophy room there.At 6 yrs old I had no idea wtf these things were.Ever since then taxidermy freaks me out.The bigger the horns,the scarier it is for me.I can deal with full body mounts but not heads.Maybe 1 or 2 heads but not a trophy room with like 100.

I have the exact phobia, I get goosebumps, tears in my eyes and begin to feel very weak. My wife sort of played a prank on me and walked me into a restaurant where there was a huge ass swordfish, I cussed her out. Anyways, im seeking help today. Go to google and write “Phobia Therapy (City). I hope this helps and I hope I can be cured.

Too much sticking their noses in other people’s business. I swear homophobes obsess more about homosexual sex than homosexuals do.
