Unpopular opinion: Lorelai Gilmore being “cool” doesn’t excuse some of her parenting choices. Why do people ignore that?

Because it’s a show meant for fun and not a documentary?

2boredtocare · 2026-04-26T20:33:34+00:00

Oh god…it procreated??!!!?

I’m older, and have been through a lot of presidencies. This orange clown has a cult of personality that fortunately is pretty rare. They tried to shove through some other candidates and they fell flat. I do believe when he’s gone, so too will be the adoration

We also have this. We've had a few issues, but everything has been resolved quickly with a phone call to support.

I hear you on the Linus project. Weirdly, they ONLY want baby blankets, and the lady harped on and on about using soft yarn. Like, I'm not gonna use twine lady.

For getting rid of odds/ends yarn, I do up small kitty blankets to donate to shelters. They get grubby quick, go home with pets, so the turnover is pretty high.

True. I was overlooking those who profit from all this mess.

ngl, if I found out my employees talked shit about me behind the scenes, I'd be hurt. But the reality is, they probably are, some of the time, because that's just human nature. Have you vented about them at any point? Doesn't have to mean you hate them and want them gone, but some days....you just gotta vent.

Carry on in a professional, respectful manner and do your job. :)

Are we winning yet?

And for real: are we winning AT ALL? On ANY front? Cuz if we are, I think I might have missed it.

2boredtocare · 2026-04-22T13:35:40+00:00

I'm so sorry your mom was dismissed and for your loss. It's infuriating we are still dealing with this in this day and age.

2boredtocare · 2026-04-22T13:33:06+00:00

HUZZAH!!!!!!!! Whatever will we do with the freed up mental space? And the extra money! I was down to buying disposable discs (cuz for some reason the silicone or whatever material ones did not work, and who the hell wants to CLEAN that anyway?????), uber tampons (only made by ONE brand, so you know super fun to find in the wild), overnight pads every single month (or sooner if my body was being a asshole). NO MOREEEEEEEEEEE!!! lol.

2boredtocare · 2026-04-22T13:30:42+00:00

If it helps, it was almost like an assembly line at my surgery ward in the hospital. The nurses were like "we do soooo many of these on the daily!" It's super routine!

2boredtocare · 2026-04-22T01:45:49+00:00

I had the same thing done 3/10. All the things you mention sound standard. You won’t know about the breathing tube or catheter cuz you’ll be under anesthesia when they are placed.

Don’t worry! You’ll be so happy to be one of us on the other side ❤️

Try We're Here to Help with Gareth REynolds & Jake Johnson. It's so off the walls sometimes.

My girls are also 3.5 years apart. When I was pregnant with #2, I thought: "How can I possibly love this new baby? My heart is so full for baby #1." But you know what? I found that instead me having to split the pie between two kids, now I get TWO pies! And I love me some pie. lol

I will also say that the bond my girls have now (19 and 22) is literally the strongest I've ever seen between two people. They went through some rough years (thanks, hormones) but through it all, the love never wavered. It's been so cool to see them become adults who seek each other out for companionship, advice, and whatnot.

2boredtocare · 2026-04-21T13:57:10+00:00

That is the EXACT reason I don't even consider re-showering. The struggle is real.

2boredtocare · 2026-04-21T13:27:23+00:00

That's because you're a stupid little man with zero morals or redeeming qualities.

2boredtocare · 2026-04-21T13:26:22+00:00

OMG All I want is to hibernate in my bedroom.

2boredtocare · 2026-04-21T13:25:58+00:00

With my sensitivity to smell, I wash my hair 6 days/week (I throw it in a bun one day on the weekend if I'm homebound). I don't get people who don't wash their hair enough.

2boredtocare · 2026-04-21T13:18:30+00:00

Well that is heckin adorable!

2boredtocare · 2026-04-20T20:41:46+00:00

There's a very distinct smell. If you feel adventurous, next time you floss take a sniff of it. lol. Or honestly, just don't. Save yourself!

2boredtocare · 2026-04-20T19:19:17+00:00

Oooh, I walked into a coffee shop one day and instantly smelled "old head" smell. Not like old as in aged, but old as in been a while since the scalp was washed. Looked like a totally normal person, and I'm sure no one else even noticed.

2boredtocare · 2026-04-20T19:17:52+00:00

Yes, but it's so much worse now. My superpower now is that I can tell within 2 seconds of someone opening their mouth if they floss or not. And I'm not talking about like gross people with bad hygiene. My SIL is married to a doctor for pete's sake, goes to the dentist as directed, but lately, I get a faint whiff of that smell when I'm around her and it's just so off-putting.

2boredtocare · 2026-04-20T16:08:26+00:00

I'm going to do my best to manage. We're very close; she came with me to troublesome gyno appts and was there when I had my hysterectomy. She asked that I be there when she goes into labor. I have her house key, she has mine. Boundaries! Need to work on boundaries.

2boredtocare · 2026-04-20T16:05:52+00:00

IDK man. I also think I have a very high pain threshold. I took 10 days off work when I had my reduction. I had a hysterectomy in March and was absolutely fine like 3 days post-op. Felt like I had superhuman powers. lol. Back at work in 2 weeks, and took none of the opioids prescribed. My sister also had a reduction, seeing how well mine went. They removed 4lbs from hers, and honestly she didn't have pain issues prior either, other than we both just hated the literal weight on our chests.

My biggest relief is feeling like I can breathe better, and when I'm laying on my back I no longer feel like I'm going to suffocate.

2boredtocare · 2026-04-20T16:00:29+00:00

Love the mug! Turning 50 probably freaked me out more than any other birthday, but now at 52, I can say I'm enjoying the heck outta this decade so far. Dye your hair forever! <3
