My thoughts exactly.

Too much?

That’s such an incredibly difficult decision to come to, but you are absolutely doing your due diligence. You’ve tried VERY hard to overcome the issue, which judging by another comment, is basically insurmountable even in the opinion of professionals. And now that you have decided to rehome her, you’re trying to make…

If five minutes is what you have, do five minutes at a time. I’m not sure what your finances allow for, but you can at least get rid of obvious garbage and recycling. You don’t really need to make decisions. But you and your partner need to get more storage - tote bins, clothes baskets or whatever - that allow you to…

Why does this not have more stars? :D

Chiming in and saying I went to one of the better public schools in my district and yet my experience is very much in line with yours. Our teachers were constantly lamenting that they had to spend all of our time teaching HOW to answer the questions on the tests instead of what the damn answers were.

Your exact life. Weeks in a row. Went to the doc and she just said “try Excedrine Migraine and Flonase.”

Yeah. The alcohol would get rid of the oils or moisture in theory, but that also just dries out the nails, IME. Same boat, you and I.

Are you painting with totally dry hands? I know women who have acrylics that get moisture trapped under the nail can have some weak nails. I suppose if you do a cuticle soak or just generally don’t have totally dry hands and nails, you might be trapping some oils from your skin or lotion in with your nails? But that’s…

Well, now it just sounds like your actual problem isn’t “my boyfriend uses porn” but rather “I know my boyfriend uses porn.” I mean, if you’re actively looking, that’s really unfair. Obviously, smart people clear their browsers/use incognito mode in case of unexpected death. But if he doesn’t... who cares? Is he…

I’m fat and I looked fucking adorable with my bob. Talk to your stylist and if they say your face is too round, find a new one. Anyone can work any hair length if they find the right cut for them.

Exactly. I cry for movies. For life, it’s too raw to really engage for long enough to be cathartic.

Brave. My mom and I do not get each other. That movie gets me right where I live.

I know that feeling! It goes away, mostly, but I’ll still get it randomly like once a month or something. I’ve had mine for 3 years, no regrets, no babies.

Yeah, my mom had hers out FOREVER ago (20 years, whatever) and even back then, it was outpatient and she took 2 days in bed and then was just kinda slow and wincey for a little bit. Didn’t slow her down at all and she’s so much more active now than she was then.

That name is amazing.

Too real.

I think the proper etiquette is actually that it be a separate insert in the same envelope? like, you shouldn’t have it printed ON the invitation, but it’s supposed to be sent WITH the invitation? Or the invitation can say on the very bottom “registry information upon request” or somethiiiiiing?

jo malone (especially red roses or pomegranate noir). Oily and slightly foamy. So moisturizing. I’m also a sucker for the lush bombs and macaroons. Or L’occitane almond foaming oil. You’re supposed to use it as a body wash, but I like pouring a tablespoon into my bath instead, or using it to shave. There you have it,…

Thank you! I’ve been the employed friend for most of my adult life, but I haven’t always been the highest earning. There’s an ebb and flow to all things.
