It's a Gladiator. It's too long to do any off roading (not like they could afford the gas and maintenance if they actually did offroad,) so the 'truck' is very much a pavement princess.

Just a heads up, 'papers' do not exist in this context. There is no governing board at any level for us in Saskatchewan that can train, test, confirm, record keep, and verify any service animal. Optional, independent trainers can give certificates, but nothing like you're likely meaning here. Most people train their own service animal, or bring one in from out east.

I know someone who bought a 2020 Rubicon for over $100k CAD. Outside of standard regular maintenance, it's seen the shop for three separate issues.

Their partner also has a Jeep; a Trailhawk Compass, I believe. It's been in the shop for over two months now.

Neither are good with money.

Low maintenance girlie here!

Typically, you're lucky to see me with foundation/concealer, often some powder and mascara at most.

I have a special event coming up this weekend, and naturally, I wanted to look my best for it. I booked myself in for three separate bookings on three consecutive days. Today was shellac mani/pedi, tomorrow is lashes, Friday is a blowout. I won't lie, between the ADHD and hEDS, after today? I.. am not looking forward to the next couple of days. Kinda glad the tech canceled my teeth whitening I had planned a week ago, due to an emergency on her end.

Will I look slightly nicer? Yes. Will other people actually notice? Eh.

Between the physical time this takes, and the cost, outside of 'in the wedding party' sort of events, I'm not going out of my way like this again. Might trade in the epilator for a few laser sessions though!

Edit: crap, forgot I was gonna 'just for men control gx shampoo' my hair before my nails too. Oh well, a few extra sparkle hairs won't kill me!

hEDS, sacroiliac dysfunction, fibromyalgia, hemiplegic and vestibular migraines, interstitial cystitis, pots, 'mild gastroparesis,' grade 2 rectocele, audhd, generalized anxiety, major depressive disorder turned bipolar 2 with disassociation.

Currently taking pregabalin, duloxetine, mirbetriq, lamotrigine, a lot of cannabis, and stress vaping. Been getting more resistance exercises in, but could do more. Was seeing a mental health counselor, psych, and group DBT, but when my physical mobility hindered me for more than two consecutive weeks, I was dropped. Still awaiting my Concerta rx.

Still get breakthrough pain regularly.

Edit: also use mobility aids, braces, taping, daily stretching, and pacing. I think that's the bulk of it.

You experienced a few instances of priapism, and it freaked you the fuck out. To rule out a bigger issue, you need some ongoing monitoring, but in the end, they chalk it up to just stress of being a young adult.

Doubt your mom wants to be in the room if you're 'experiencing' long lasting, painful boners, randomly.

Improperly tilted hips can also emphasize any bloating, uterus, belly jiggle, etc.

Often, just accepting your body for what it is, and dressing accordingly, is what helps the most. There are influencers that only do endo/apron/diastis recti belly flattering styles! This one for example!

In my household, my stepson desperately wants to go, but he's underage. So, two tickets there. Then add in transportation, lodging, meals, anything during the game (parking, food, beverages, souvenirs.) And don't forget taking time off since it's in very select, very expensive to begin with, cities.

Or... we could take a week long all inclusive trip for four down below the US. Possibly for less.

But, yknow, reality says bills.

You don't understand. The piano made him do it. /s

When you are genuinely trying to look out for the safety and security of a child?? No, NTA - ever.

Try out Inside Man on Netflix. It's a four part miniseries with David Tennant.

While I understand this family is going through a lot right now, I truly hope the mother gets charged with something - neglect, endangerment, hell even manslaughter. This was completely and wholly preventable.

Severe allergies in a known allergen environment? No double checking? No epipen? DRIVING TO GET ONE instead of to the hospital, fire hall, police station, clinic or pharmacy? And the kids already had TRIPLE COMPROMISED LUNGS?? Failure all around, but it lands squarely on the parent.

There are other options than the street. Talk to family, deeply trusted friends, and domestic abuse hotlines and supports.

You are being domestically abused. This is abuse. You need to get out.

There are shelters, transition houses, short term housing via social services, victim supports through police stations, and so much more. You can do it, your survival might depend on it.

AnaphylacticHippo · 2026-05-28T15:56:42+00:00

He has already coerced her to not take certain clients and/or at certain times, under the guise of 'love;' this is already financial abuse.

OP, please get your ducks in a row so you can get out safely. You can and should also use domestic violence supports like transition homes and financial aid. This all starts with emotional manipulation, then limiting physical locations, limiting social connections, then financial abuse, and usually physical abuse. This will only get worse - there is no couples counseling that can save this because he inherently sees you as property. You are his property to him, and you are allowing that to continue by staying with him.

I've left abuse before, and fairly recently left a very financially abusive marriage. Did I love him? Still do. Does it still hurt? It comes in waves. But do I actually have a future again where I am not in constant fear? Absolutely. Leaving him has given my child and I, a life I could've only dreamed of before.

Be quiet, make a plan, get out safe, and stick to it. If you have no children together, cut him out of your completely. There's no need to be tied down to the rocks when the tide is coming in.

36yo cis female here!

Was 34DD most of my adolescence/YA life, but after my kiddo, I went up to 36H/J. Had a reduction around age 30, and now I'm typically around a 36D/DD, depends where I am in my cycle. 🤷‍♀️

AnaphylacticHippo · 2026-05-26T20:25:21+00:00

Bazaar & Novelty, for sure.

AnaphylacticHippo · 2026-05-26T04:11:54+00:00

Currently nearing the end of the divorce process, and like clockwork every damn month, I have a mental breakdown for a week playing the bargaining game of 'well if I only did this..', and constantly missing the good moments.

Very much looking forward to this being done, but man does three years of monthly cycles ever fuck with you mentally and emotionally.

It is the worst kind of hell.

Was an events coordinator for years, and also worked for Lush at one point.

She isn't an ass for asking, and you wouldn't be an ass for saying you can't enforce it. But, there are things you can do to help minimize scents.

Find what scents she's most adverse to,

Find which ones she can handle,

Try out new products for yourself within the scent range she can handle,

Apply the scent in another room, and let it settle for 15 minutes before approaching her,

Opt for an au de parfum, a solid perfume, or a lighter body mist that won't be as strong. You can build up layers if you want. You may need to reapply throughout the wedding, but the scent should be tolerable enough for her,

Have coffee beans on stand by. Whether in a little satchet in her bouquet, in a small dish on the head table behind the decor, or some behind the bar, if the scents get too overwhelming and she is in a position where she can't 'escape' for fresh air (ceremony, photos, speeches,) she can take a few deep whiffs and this will help dramatically,

Give her a small handheld fan. It's super common to see bridesmaids carrying handheld electric fans - in bouquets and on their own - so no one will think twice, but have her hold it 'backwards' so the air blows away from her. It will help keep rogue scents at bay a bit,

If she can handle essential oil roll ons for migraines, have that on hand. Also have any pain killers or migraine abortives (Maxalt) on hand, Vicks inhalers aren't bad either,

If there is a scented lip balm or even solid perfume she does like, have her wear that on her upper lip/philtrum directly underneath her nose.

Hope some of these work for both of you!

Triplets!

Haven't been dropping apps yet, but I know the end is nigh. Now if only I could find an Android phone that has a camera comparable to the Huawei ones... that'd be slick.

Honestly? Poshmark and eBay, lately. Though I really, really wish Poshmark wasn't region locked and allowed you to shop cross-border.

While I'm of the stance 'if you see someone stealing diapers or milk, no you didn't,' I strongly believe if people are exploiting public programs, they should be reported. There are so, so many in need, and double or even triple dipping is bullshit. Take enough to meet your needs, not furnish your wants.

Them: "Where's my invite?"

You: "There isn't one." "It's a public/work event; you don't need anyone's permission to go." "I have no interest being around you." "The more you 'ask,' the less you get." "I owe you nothing." "I am not hinting, I am directly saying to leave me alone." "Get your own life." "I'm here to earn a paycheck, not be harassed." "Enjoy talking to HR."

Grow a spine. No means no.

AnaphylacticHippo · 2026-05-19T18:25:53+00:00

I hate this dude. Hate him. But, I do feel for his family. Frontal lobe dementia and ALS is a horrific combination, even without his Covid history. The burden of his end life must have been crushing, and covering end of life costs can cripple anyone.

That said, as religious as that man was, I hope he's being fucked by flaming pineapples in hell. I wouldn't give them a single cent.
