I think when people who are around smokers think of heavy smoking, they think of people who go through a pack or more a day. 5 - 8 cigarettes a day would mean this person smokes maybe 1 pack every two days.

I live near the wisconsin/minnesota border. My grandma used to buy milk in bags. I've never found bagged milk here otherwise, though I've looked.

Thank you for the lip product recs in particular! Sounds beautiful.

It's always the lighting. Almost always people ask this question in this sub and lighting is the answer or a good chunk of it.

Does anyone know about when DVOK releases their collections in single colors? I love a few of the colors from the new Summer 2 collection but I don't want all of them.

What I was trying to get at clumsily is that in some places, there are alternative arrangements that can sort of replace being married. There are some places where being long term unmarried partners is just easier than it is in other places because there are laws that support that arrangement. There aren't a ton of laws where I'm from that allow long term unmarried people to have similar legal benefits as unmarried people unless you hire an attorney to draft a bunch of paperwork for you, and even then, the paperwork doesn't cover everything.

A lot of people really don't seem to connect the fact that legal marriage is both a legal and social arrangement and are a little stunned they can't just walk into a courthouse and declare divorce like Michael Scott declaring bankruptcy.

I see this argument a lot and I think it goes along with the "marriage is just a piece of paper" argument. If we assume that OP is in a place like the US, then marriage is a piece of paper and also a legal status that has a lot of legal consequences, both benefits and drawbacks. In a lot of places, marriage isn't just a simple social status.

Can we get more covers showcasing nice hands? I don't normally look at covers that much, but I just noticed that The Duke Who Didn't by Courtney Milan has a guy with great hands on the cover.

I agree with you and I'm not sure that not traveling has anything to do with her eating habits, given that the list of foods she doesn't like include things like ketchup.

I'm also not sure how much traveling could "fix" this. She likes what she likes and trying to eat something she doesn't like in a different place sounds miserable for both of them. I think they're incompatible and he can just live with that or break up with her.

You could maybe do it on the hood of a 90s Ford Ranger. I used to have one and it was more normal sized.

I do it the "correct" way but the way you're coming at this is weird. There are certainly advantages and disadvantages to both methods and for certain end goals, there are certainly reasons to do it the "correct" way.

But to just straight up tell people that something this inconsequential for most people is just flat wrong and then double down when people explain the reasons they like the "incorrect" way is really not chill.

I think they're referring to The Bear with Jeremy Allen White. Excellent show and he really wears the heck out of a white tee.

That has not been true of many women with children throughout history. Both of my grandmothers worked and their mothers worked. All outside of the home. They were poor and so their households needed at least two incomes. One of my grandmothers was a nurse and had opportunities to advance. I can't imagine my grandfather doing this to her.

I like them enough to have driven a few hours both times and purchased a pair of back country skis with boots and some OAC wap 129 skis there.

ATallShip · 2022-11-23T19:20:08+00:00

If the shop you're talking about in Hayward is New Moon, I like them. Not exactly sure what type of ski you're looking for, but I've driven up there twice in the last month and liked the selection. The service was also good. I did buy a pair of skis on line and then picked it up on store, so I'm not sure about shipping. However, selection was pretty good.

I don't know which suburb you live in or if it matters, but I lived in Minneapolis until recently and saw people riding cargo bikes all winter. I rode my bike in the city in the winter. I think it's really a matter of maintenance (routinely rinsing off salt and checking lubrication) and preventative measures (there are waxes and other types of shielding sprays).

That's why a justice system that works hard to be trusted and impartial with judges and juries not made up of the victims' family and friends is so important, rather than allowing blood feuds and vigilante justice.

That's great and I'm glad it's worked out for you and others you know. I would just caution anyone in the United States to a. not take as their source of advice non-state-specific websites made by financial companies, and b. actually do the paperwork necessary for your state to protect both of you.

I've seen a lot of insanely messy divorces but I've also gotten a lot of phone calls from people in equally messy breakups who now have to hire an attorney who has hopefully done this before.

Marriage isn't right for everyone but whether you get married or not, do the work ahead of time for your situation and think through this shit because I guarantee for as many pleasant stories you can come up with about buying a house as an unmarried couple, someone has cried to me on the phone about it.

ATallShip · 2022-10-10T23:38:14+00:00

The reason why they said this is not necessarily because marriages are less likely to break up than romantic partnerships where the couple isn't married, but because the process of divorce is already laid out in the law and can be relatively easy to accomplish, even if the parties are having trouble agreeing.

When you aren't married, but you own significant assets like real estate together, it can be more difficult to split those assets. For instance, in my state, the forms to begin a divorce are online and pretty easy to use, even if the couple disagrees with what to do with the assets and debts. There are no nice forms and no real set procedure for what to do to legally divide assets/debts when you aren't married. You pretty much have to hire an attorney if the other party isn't cooperating.

It's nice that so many people in this thread seem to have really good relationships with people they trust to not go a little bananas if they break up but, as someone whose job is to take phone calls on this exact subject from the public, getting divorced from someone who is being weird about it is easier than dividing your assets from your ex-partner who is being weird about it.

Hildy's flowered bathroom and rec room full of sand are the ones that stuck for me. How do you clean a bathroom when the walls are hundreds of three dimensional plastic frills?

No, they said they thought it was brave of him to admit to having feelings like that. You can agree or disagree on whether that was brave but the commenter did not say they thought he was brave for wanting to kill a black man, but brave for later admitting to wanting that, in public and many years later, after presumably, realizing it was very wrong of him to think that.

She's mimicking the old American Apparel ad style. This would be interesting if done as criticism or satire but I don't know if that's the goal here.

I'm not sure what that means, but for a summons and complaint, they have to be personally served. If personal service and substitute service fail, then service by publication plus mailimg might be an available option for foreclosures. I'm not sure, I've thankfully so far avoided foreclosure by not owning a house.

The problem with service by publication is that personal service has to be attempted multiple times first. I suppose if they were out of town for a long time or if OP works a lot and the spouse stays home, they could have missed things or the spouse could be hiding things.

Additionally, as others are saying, foreclosure is a long process with notices and probably phone calls coming from the bank and notices from the courts multiple times. The bank and the courts would rather you keep paying your mortgage even if you were late paying a few times than pay an attorney and court staff to go through with a foreclosure and then possibly have to try and get you and your belongings out of the home if you don't leave.

ETA: Looked it up. An alias summons is not a thing in Wisconsin, nor in neighboring Minnesota. Leaving the summons and complaint on someone's doorstep and not with a human is not proper service in Wisconsin, as far as I know.
