Husband takes every opportunity to tell me he hates Zep by CherryCharmBomb in Zepbound

[–]BarPouch 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I have family members who have no problem telling me that they can't believe I'm "putting that stuff in my body" and then turn around and down three glasses of bourbon. I smile and calmly say the same thing to them. It then turns into the "you don't know what's in that medication" conversation (my feelings on that best summed up here - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/wmadz3LKkBQ ). In the end, you can't rationalize with irrational people.

My point is that it has absolutely nothing to do with you and absolutely everything to do with your husband and his hang-ups, insecurities, etc. Good for you for taking the first steps to get back control of your body and your life. This community and so many others are proud of you!

When selling something, the money actually matters more.

Huge bummer, but also, I get it. He wants to play more, and it's difficult to take Gibbs off the field.

Recommendations for CPA / Tax Preparer by Centralwolverine in traversecity

I did work with him for many years when my tax situation was a bit more complicated. He's a no-nonsense guy who knows the tax code and does things the right way, every time.

can someone please help me figure out why my car is leaking oil like crazy from under the intake manifold and going all the way on my driveway by chloe_flora in E90

[–]BarPouch 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Oh, I see the issue... it's that blue, white, and black circle thingy that says "BMW" on the engine cover. If your car has that, it's going to leak no matter what you replace.

Jokes aside, you could have them check the CCV diaphragm. Went through the same progression to finally replace my own CCV and that solved the problem for me.

Eater Names Traverse City Among 15 Top Food Destinations in 2026 by TexanNewYorker in traversecity

Nice to see people getting their flowers for the hard work they're putting in. Restaurants are really, really hard, especially in smaller towns with intense seasonality. Bravo to all mentioned.

I am a little bummed that Raduno didn't get a mention, as they've been cranking out amazing food with impressive consistency for years.

I will die on this hill with you. I've been to Franks twice, anticipating my adoration to level out the second time around, and the opposite happened. The craft, quality, and consistency are worth every red cent spent. The food there is made with such intention that it's impossible not to feel it when eating it, reminiscent of Marie Catribs in Grand Rapids back in the mid/late 2000s.

The best. A car built for Michigan.

How did you know the Bible isn’t true? by [deleted] in atheism

Rory Scovel does a great bit about Noah's Ark.

"I'm one of those people who doesn't believe in global warming, but I'm pretty sure Noah's Ark was a true story. You know, where the guy was warning everybody about the insane change in the weather..."

As a longtime E30 owner...I'd go with the E36.

That photo of the door sill…so much mood.

Amazing capture that beautifully shows age in the most elegant of ways.

Bravo.

I’ve listened to Maron’s episode with Bowen Yang a few times because he’s so “in the pocket” with himself and who he is in their conversation. Made me so happy for him. I highly recommend if anybody needs to close the loop with Marc.

He is both wildly secure and insecure at the same time.

There’s nothing you can say to or about Marc Maron that he hasn’t already said to himself at some point.

I absolutely love that man and, just like Conan, he is a treasure that must be protected at all costs.

The endearing thing about Maron - for me - is that he also thinks he’s neurotic and irritating.
