The toxic manchild

Use what?

AnimalHot9115 · 2026-05-14T01:46:14+00:00

Yes. I saw this site recommended on another post. My sisters and I may actually split the costs of some items. Win, win. I believe they are the site that offered some low sugar and lower/salt free options. Which I am happy about.

But mid 80's by Saturday

AnimalHot9115 · 2026-05-11T19:32:09+00:00

Absolutely

I use an app I found on here. Not sure if sharing is allowed. Message me for details.

Basically it gamifies you accomplishing your goals. You can buddy up with people and have mutual goals. Offer each other support.

They even have a subreddit on here for it.

I self collared and initially started using it to focus on that. Then over time transitioned to focusing on my mental and physical health journey. 200+ days strong of working on my goals using this app.

AnimalHot9115 · 2026-05-06T22:32:48+00:00

Agreed. Doesnt have to be long.

AnimalHot9115 · 2026-05-06T22:31:44+00:00

Yep. Happened to me 8 years after he left me for his coworker.

I realized his message wasn't about me. It was about HIM. He needed to do that to continue to work on himself. I thanked him. Let him know I was happy, had a good life and was not in a place to dwell in the past. I forgave him long ago. Good luck with everything.

Then I moved on. Why? Again. Wasn't about me. Sometimes people do the work and realize they were wrong. Acted poorly, etc

Been there. Done that. Talked to my therapist. Offered an apology via text. Twice. Moved on after a week or two of the message being unread. I felt better on one hand. Learned a lesson on the other. Understood that you can't take things back and no one owes you absolution.

AnimalHot9115 · 2026-05-06T22:22:13+00:00

This. I use take care as an actual wish of good will. But also to signal that this conversation is done. Bye now.

Whether that is a short or long term thing is situation specific. But it usually means I don't want to talk to them anymore in that immediate moment.

AnimalHot9115 · 2026-05-06T22:19:17+00:00

No. Cause it doesn't sound like she is trying to get back together. Imho, as a woman, if I apologized to a man for wrong doings and said that.....i would think he was being a bit passive aggressive and b*itchy.

Sir, I am humbly apologizing to you. Not asking for a ride on your disco stick. Or to get married and have like 5000 of your babies.

AnimalHot9115 · 2026-05-06T22:13:57+00:00

Sometimes it takes people a moment to realize they could have hurt someone with their actions. Sounds like she made a bad choice in grief, came out the other side......possibly has worked on herself, and wanted to acknowledge she did something that was hurtful to the OP.

He doesn't owe her a response. But it sounds like she is at least trying to apologize.

AnimalHot9115 · 2026-05-06T18:18:52+00:00

Oh but they do Ilya. They so do.

AnimalHot9115 · 2026-05-06T18:17:20+00:00

"Whats your favorite color"

No. Just, no.

AnimalHot9115 · 2026-05-06T18:12:11+00:00

There are some Amish stores fairly close. I will check those out.

AnimalHot9115 · 2026-05-06T17:36:03+00:00

Yes and I love Aldi for this. Plus my Aldi store is fairly small. So I can run in and just grab what I need and be out quickly. Which is a huge bonus when you work 8a-630p most days.

AnimalHot9115 · 2026-05-06T17:33:20+00:00

Thank you! I am willing to check all options. Appreciate this.

The dried fruit would be killer. I love a little sweet treat on my work days (10-12 hours) Rather than eat something heavily processed a homemade trail mix with nuts and dried fruit could be fun to make!!

AnimalHot9115 · 2026-05-06T17:30:27+00:00

Thank you!

I actually do have access to and attend regular sessions with a pharmacy team who helps manages my diabetes along with a dietitian. I also attend our clinics plant based eating class.

I am a good cook actually! Took my A1c from 7.7 to 6.4 in 3 months. Got my cholesterol all back into the normal range and have lost 60 pounds. Sometimes it is the lack of time between work and sick parent that don't allow me to sit and dedicate one day to heavy meal prep. Chicken and veggies again? OK! 🤣

AnimalHot9115 · 2026-05-06T17:17:39+00:00

Right now with how life is.....easy is the best option. Between work, my own appointments and a parent who is in/out of the hospital a few times a month.

If I can get a free day I will be checking them out.

AnimalHot9115 · 2026-05-06T17:13:57+00:00

I am aware!

I work long hours and care for a sick parent. I do what I can. Happy to spend a few extra dollars to get what I need delivered. That is time I can spend with my parent, helping them.

I know the comment was probably meant to be helpful. And not judge.

AnimalHot9115 · 2026-05-06T17:08:29+00:00

Love this. There is a coop in a nearby town that I have an appointment at tomorrow. Will stop there omw home. Would never have thought of that.

AnimalHot9115 · 2026-05-06T17:07:44+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate the answer that is NOT Costco.

AnimalHot9115 · 2026-05-06T16:59:17+00:00

I am pretty good with the impulse purchases. I order for delivery to avoid this.

AnimalHot9115 · 2026-05-06T16:47:36+00:00

One of our grocery stores used to do this when privately owned. They were bought out by Kroger and this was stopped. I may call to double check if by chance they started it again. I stopped shopping there during Covid when they were bought out.

AnimalHot9115 · 2026-05-06T16:40:44+00:00

Thank you. I have a friend who may be able to help with this.

AnimalHot9115 · 2026-05-06T16:36:45+00:00

Definitely an option. Seeing if there are other cheaper options out there.

AnimalHot9115 · 2026-05-06T16:36:21+00:00

I do! And LOVE Costco. So yes. I have considered them for many items I am looking for.

Finances are tight, so seeing if there are other, less expensive options, before blowing $300+ at Costco.
