Nah, we don't. Just talk it out and you're good.

Actually, buying homes really isn’t any harder with 2 accounts than 1. Literally, the only difference for us has been getting printouts of each of our bank accounts which is super easy since everything’s online. Personally, I found buying a house when I was single to be much more difficult. When we sold that house, I…

We keep our money seperate and make within a couple thousand of each other but your idea is exactly what we’ll do when my husband starts making more (which I hope is soon...). A couple I know decided they'd each put half of their pay checks into a joint account for bills and I liked that idea too for disparate…

It sounds like someone was ready to whisk the baby away at the conference if she got fussy (as babies do) and I’m cool with that. But I’m not clear on what the plan would be in class if she starts babbling or smacking a toy or just being a normal, *noisy* baby. Would you step out mid-lecture? Try to quiet her while…

It could have something like “will he make it?” and the answer was “I’m not sure”. I've been running rescue for nearly 20 years and it's incredibly rare that I'll predict to someone what will happen, especially bystanders.

I’m fascinated by the fact that MPS has a unit whose mission is to handle these very specific crimes. When I worked patrol, I encountered my fair share of unusual religious practices but nothing like this. It was more “yes, ma’am, your neighbors can kill chickens as a religious practice. I know the feathers are…

Oh god, the straw walls!

And furniture sales. But yeah, I've never seen it actually celebrated.

Girl, yes! I've been doing continuous birth control for about 10 years bc my ob/gyn is awesome. I occasionally get all paranoid about being pregnant and pee on a stick but never am and I know I'm just being a nut. It's so wonderful not to have to worry about periods. I get a couple days of spotting a couple times a…

Shit, I love this dress and I'm happy I came across this article. Basic, simple, easy to accessorize, day/night- yep, I'm getting one. Thanks!

That’s understandable. They used Versed (midazolam) on me at the oral surgeon’s and it’s just conscious sedation. I was breathing on my own (so no intubation like you think of with anesthesia) and it causes an amnesiac effect which is neat. During my medic rotations in the emergency room, doctors specifically favored…

It's the reindeer. Countries with reindeer are always super smug.

Sedation is the best. I saw an oral surgeon to get my wisdom teeth out and was knocked out for the whole thing. I'd do it at regular cleanings if the husband and I didn't work opposite shifts and he could drive me home!

Tests don’t ask about your specific life.

Haha!

A few years ago, my husband and I were in Pei Wei (a counter service Asian chain) behind a group of high school girls (basic white girls, if you will) and could hear them placing their order. One girl says to the cashier, “I want noodles but what are thigh noodles?” while pointing “Thai noodles” on the menu. I loudly…

Yep, me and the hubby have disparate schedules and I get bored. Not necessarily lonely- I’m not one to socialize, really but I don’t like to do nothing. So...I take classes! I’m signed up for a sewing class, I took a sign language class, and I take classes through an organization I volunteer with. And now I’m starting…

What area are you in that RN’s are paid so little? RN’s in my area (northern VA) make a great salary, especially with shift differential and overtime. Traveling nurses make bankkkkk! LPN’s and CNA’s certainly make very little but they have far less training.

I haven’t had a period in like 10 years due to continuous birth control and my awesome ob/gyn. And STILL her office doesn’t have a box to check “n/a” or whatever when you're supposed to write the date of your last period. The nurses always seem vaguely weirded out, too.

Have you tried Poshmark? Kinda like eBay for clothes and accessories but no bidding so the prices are just reasonable from the get go. Tons of great stuff.
