The ask/recognize struggle is so real! I am the recognizer and my husband lives in camp ask. It has taken a lot for us to get comfortable to meet more in the middle. I don’t always want to have to ask because to me it feels like I am his parent. He doesn’t always want to be aware all the time/wants to feel like he…

I don’t think a real partnership can exist without these deliberate choices. It may be a clinical process, it’s certainly not romantic, but it needs to be done.

The romantic in me wants to disagree with you but the more I sit here and think about it...yea. My husband is wonderful and I do think our marriage is a very well balanced partnership... I also feel like I have spent a lot of time and energy teaching him on how to be a functioning adult so we could have more of a…

Same more or less! My parents were trying so hard for me to go without training wheels and I was terrified. But the day I got it in my head to just get on the bike and go, I did it without issue. 

Don’t just fire, prosecute. 

I was just thinking this is going to bring some GOOD clapback content

Exactly. Considering the presence of social media and how much information you put in an offer, if a seller REALLY wanted to discriminate they could. A letter mentioning “Christmas” doesn’t mean shit if the seller is a bigot and sees a traditionally Jewish name. 

It can also really depend on how well off the seller already is. Maybe that couple didn’t NEED that extra 50K and wanted to give someone a chance. That isn’t a bad thing. It’s actually pretty wonderful.

We got a lovely note from the previous owner and as a first time home buyer I really appreciated it. 

Or they understand it and just don’t feel it applies, and that’s ok.

This would be a good point if housing were affordable and plentiful.

Yea I am in the camp of not bashing Cinderella for her kindness, but definitely in the camp of “she got out of an abusive situation by sheer luck and having a pretty face”. Which is why I love Ever After. Danielle was incredibly kind, and she stood up for herself and what was right.

I have only seen one TikTok about Munn/Mulaney and it was a joke about how Olivia Munn got knocked up by a Bears fan to get back at Aaron Rodgers. It was fun.

Blues Clues started in 95 and the last of the Millenials were born in 96. So Steve was definitely there for millenials.

Thank you, Jody!

Re microwaving eggs - I like to get a container of pico de gallo and throw a spoonful of that with a little shredded cheese. Keeps the eggs from getting dry. The trick is you microwave for 10 seconds then stir. Microwave for 10 seconds then stir. Repeat until you hit your desired doneness. I dont like overcooked…

It’s surprising that Republicans continue to offer damning soundbites on rape and abortion when they’re clearly clueless.

100% agree. Recovery doesn’t work unless the addict is ready and willing, AND it takes a village to help in that recovery. I am the daughter of an addict and it took me a long time to switch my mindset of “if Dad ever drinks again Ill never forgive him” to “addiction is complex and if he drinks again I will find a way…

This one made my heart hurt a lot and I lost it at Ava’s post. It was such a testament of what a beautiful soul he was. 

One question I have always had about the recommended amount of sleep: is that in total or straight? Because if it’s in total and you are someone who wakes in the middle of the night you would want to add that time to your bedtime calculation.
