I highly recommend it! It was my saving grace.

I certainly plan to, but I feel obligated to play nice until my little brother is out of the house. Just a few years to go

I didn't because I was enjoying silently laughing with my brother too much. 

My parents who are awful and emotionally abusive invited themselves to stay at my house a week for Thanksgiving. Luckily I was able to cope by guessing what they were going to complain about and turning it into a game of insult bingo with my brother and husband. That way, when they insulted me, I was excited to fill…

And of course he's only pardoning white turkeys...

True was no furniture but she had bags of untreated clothes and items that weren't sealed. :(

Thanks! If I’d have known about the bed bugs I’d have said hell no to helping them. The active traps sound like a really good idea. Getting bedbugs is my one very irrational paranoia.

I did that but am worried about our car :/

Any tips on helping bed bug paranoia? My friend asked for help moving but didn't mention that they had items with bed bugs in them in the same storage locker. I'm frustrated and also super paranoid now.

I once tried to confess to eating all the Reese’s pieces, but auto correct changed it to “I ate all the legal papers”. My friend also once texted me that she was bringing a funfetti cupcake, but the text read “bringing you a finger cupcake”

They are exactly that as well as simultaneously stressful and boring. It's just dandy for imposter syndrome!

Apparently the worst that happens is you get delicious goo. I got a step further and actually got some deformed cookies with feet!

I have been wanting to bake macarons for a year, but have been too intimidated. Today I just tried it. Not perfect, but super delicious! I've also still managed to keep my sanity as I continue work on my faculty applications, which is the biggest accomplishment of all...

I finally overcame my fear and tried to make macarons. They're not much to look at, but they tasted amazing! We got vanilla bean for the filling, and it was divine.

Yes, some people’s peanut allergies can be triggered by being in the same room as peanuts. Some can have a reaction from touching surfaces that have had peanuts on them. It can last on surfaces for months of they're not cleaned. The early boarding is so that they can wipe down their seats and trays while there is…

If you're the one with the pet allergy they can make you move or kick you off the flight. Some carriers like United won't even tell you if you're seated near a pet and won't accommodate you. I suspect it's because they get to collect a pet fee.

Always relevant

Thanks for that. What will mother think?!

Sadly that is not unbelievable.

That would be positively delightful! She hates Planned Parenthood most of all.
