How do you cope up with loneliness in this country? I feel like as I aging I am getting more lonelier 🙁

Yesterday my younger brother called me looking for good hidden swimming spots in the mountains. He was up there with a bunch of friends and their original plans had fallen apart hard. And I go much more often than he does.

I told him I had map pins that are EXACTLY what you need for these hard to find places. I can send them in 10 mins when I get home.

Reply? Forget it, I'm all set.

Yep, 10 mins is too long. Here I was expecting "Wow! That's fantastic!" How silly of me.

Curious what % of partners/MDs have spouses who also work. And regardless of non/working spouse, what do you do to feel a work/family balance?

SIL and BIL told us excitedly last weekend that she was pregnant (had literally just found out, so barely four weeks). This week she tells us she’s not pregnant anymore :(. They did not seem super torn up about it and were very practical about it. We said how sorry we were, etc etc. should I do anything else? Should I not mention it again unless they do?

How to overcome a breakup. I'm heartbroken 😭

Cousin reminded me that I can say the most righteous, fact or Bible-based message to another, but it’s a sounding gong / meaningless if I made them feel bad (was debating with a younger relative). So much truth to remember in our daily interactions with others. So much weight to practice from 1 Corinthians 13:1-2- If I speak in the tongues of men or angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. I

Hey Dallas folks!

I want to get to know the local private companies. I worked at a private company with 2-3k employees before my MBA. They had an amazing culture, but limited progression opportunities.

Anyone have recommendations on companies with great cultures in the Dallas/north of Dallas areas? (I live in the Plano/Allen/Mckinney area)

Hi Fishes, would need quick suggestions from all of you. I'm working as an In- house Social Media Specialist at a company.
