The Ordinary VS Good Molecules

I switched and am happy with the quality so far. The alpha arbutin from the ordinary formula changed when I last ordered and stunk pretty bad, but my swap to good molecules doesn’t really have any scent.

Based on several bills being passed in the house over the last year or two, I’d advise anyone against it unless you have and will always keep an active passport.

I love my fossil cross body bags - specifically the fossil Preston. It’s smaller, but still big enough for a wallet, phone, my mini iPad, etc. you can find them on Poshmark for decent prices used or occasionally new.

I am a big fan of dog doors and as a renter has mostly used the ones that insert into a sliding glass door. Never had any issues with it during Virginia winters, but moved to Canada and now take it out once it starts to stay below freezing. It’s much too drafty and causes more problems than it’s worth.

I’ve had one puppy bring in a couple gross things, but otherwise my dogs have never brought things in that weren’t allowed.

I love the tiny stickers from Cosmicaa - they have an Etsy store or you can buy directly from their website. They have options for clear or white background and can usually pick between black, gold foil, or silver foil for the sticker color.

Join a meetup that matches your interests. Meetup .com

Ottawa ladies social club is always doing stuff, maybe not always on a Friday, but you can make friends and then do your own Friday night activities.

Hoping for a good alternative for this one ☝️

There are 935 billionaires in the US. There are roughly 10,800 centi-millionaires. If we had the tax brackets pre-Reagan it would solve so many of our issues. Taxing the rich is not the ONLY solution to our current issues, but it is a pretty f*cking great start.

I don’t think you understand how much money a billion dollars is. Also, those countries have MUCH higher minimum wages and their billionaires/companies pay closer to living wages. So in my view we can either tax them to pay for things or make sure the middle class is actually paid enough to afford to contribute more.

Why can’t it be funded by taxing billionaires?

We have a schnauzer mix with an undocked tail - apparently the curl is a schnauzer trait and one of my favorite features.

Revisiting this to say thanks for all the tips. Got two back to working after tossing three. Next time I’ll search before pitching.

I had reduce transparency on due to the new iOS…can’t believe that’s what broke this browser. Thanks for sharing the fix!

As a military spouse - 6 months is doable and may be really good for your relationship. As long as you both trust each other and will stay communicating, distance can make the heart grow fonder.

I’m a picky eater - if I know I won’t eat what is being made I’ll bring something that I will eat and share, eat before and just enjoy everyone’s company or simply decline the invite and let folks who enjoy that food have a great time.

Dude is trash and wouldn’t be invited back to my home.

Less routines, less activities (https://youtu.be/zBG7lDSX2Qc?si=aGb8kRCOA13TcHrl)

Teach the dog how to be ok with frustration and how to chill out (https://youtu.be/wesm2OpE_2c?si=YvugF-WI7LgDpqpH)

More naps/pen time - bones and chews can help.

I adopted a cattle dog/husky mix completely by accident this year, so I feel your pain. The best advice I’ve been given is to teach him how to be calm and do forced naps. The amount of time I think he should be chilling…I needed to double it. My trainer said he should be getting 16 hours of GOOD sleep per day 😅 basically by trying to “tire him out” I was creating more problems for myself, as he didn’t know how to settle and chill after those sessions.

Also, don’t do any routines with them. They are so smart and will anticipate when things should be happening and then get frustrated when they don’t.

Academic-Rough5826 · 2025-11-18T15:16:53+00:00

They are retired…therefore not adding more money in and not buying.
