My dog got skunked in April, and it was terrible. I live in MI, and it was too cold to keep her outside, so it was emergency baking soda and hydrogen peroxide bath, twice, followed by a regular bath. The house reeked awfully for the first two days despite incense, febreeze, candles, baking, you name it. When the…

Perfect.

We were together for three years, then engaged for five years before getting married. We thought we might be engaged forever because it was pretty comfortable, but things change.  Essentially, he got a job with benefits after law school and I was about to lose my insurance. We didn’t really object to marriage as a…

Oh come now. Telling a loved one they have a bat in the cave or coffee breath or their fly is down is one of the cornerstones of a close relationship.I don’t think you are wrong at all. 

Ugh, that’s what google is for. He sounds like a jerk.

Part of me would really want to say, “why do YOU? Do you want me to peg you?” And then just stare deadpan at him.

You begged him to tell you, and he told you. It sucks that it hurt you, but that one was on you.

I don’t think you would be liable since you didn’t give them the alcohol and it’s not your property, but you could call the police non emergency line to complain about a loud party with possible underage drinking. If they love Trump, let them deal with the police under him.

Double post.

I get what you’re saying, and FLDS is a complicated matter, but it is certainly not all polyamorous people. I’m in Michigan, there aren’t many Mormons, even of the normal type.

Well, people could be interrogated about their relationships as they are now with immigration, and a lesser extent with abortion, to be sure it is not coerced.

I understand. Married to one partner for four years, but we’ve been together twelve, and my other partner and I are very committed for two years so far. I really wish I could put my newer partner on my health insurance. He is a veteran with VA, and it sucks!

This makes me happy. I’m married for four years, and in a committed relationship for two years. My husband dates other people. I have a live-in boyfriend. We are a very happy family unit, though I’m sure it confuses the neighbors.

Honestly, I don’t worry about ants. They never cause much damage to my plants, and they are pollinators too. Currently they’re all over my mint flowers and they’re good for peonies. (The mint is contained to a crack in an unmortared rock wall; when I see mint seedlings elsewhere I just pull them).

I’m sorry.

Make some time for yourself without them. If that means staying up late, or getting up earlier, or finding a time to leave the apartment without them and just ...be away, not for work or an errand.

I love the bergamot and lime scent! It works pretty well for me.

My favorite small things are playing with my dog, seeing my garden grow, putting on a mask that dries like clay or that you can peel off, and giving myself a manicure with a cuticle oil that smells like summer.

I am proof that you can see just one roach! It was spring and very wet, and we saw a small brown roach, a baby basically. We caught it and called the landlord. They checked for holes and put some bait traps around, but there were no more roaches. We lived there for two years before and two years after with no…

I would suggest longer in Edinburgh, though I haven’t been there in about ten years. I loved it and found it a really manageable size for walking to most things I wanted to do around the old town and downtown areas.
