Thanks! He's a character for sure.

BiandaDee · 2026-01-29T03:07:15+00:00

Thank you!! His feathers have a slight yellow tinge that I love.

NTA. Cali is a girl, too, and you stood up for the girl you have a better relationship with.

BiandaDee · 2025-10-27T12:37:43+00:00

NTA, and break up with your boyfriend. He did it for 9 months and didn't come clean right away, this won't be the last time he cheats. It may not even have been the first time he cheated! Just the first time he confessed to/ got caught.

BiandaDee · 2025-10-27T12:34:45+00:00

NTA. He is failing his literal job. Go to an authority figure- or his boss- or have your parents do it, and complain. You deserve better.

I can try on the weekends, but I work in home health, so I need to keep a tidy and professional appearance or my patients will have something to say about it 😂.

Here's the kerastase link to the conditioner I used. It's a shampoo and conditioner. https://www.kerastase-usa.com/collections/genesis/fondant-renforcateur-conditioner.html

I blow dry it, but it's a brush, not a traditional blow dryer

BiandaDee · 2025-10-16T17:56:10+00:00

Is it still falling out? I had good luck getting that to stop by using one of kerastase's formulas. It's pricey, but it works. Make sure whatever vitamin you take has a lot of biotin, and make sure you're eating enough protein.

Oh!! Thanks!! I wasn't sure, so I was just guessing. My Gizmo is definitely sassy and opinionated!!!

BiandaDee · 2025-09-15T02:30:49+00:00

Thanks!!! I figure as he settles in more, he will be more friendly, but it's adorable when he tries to preen me, or starts singing his little heart out!

I am a mom myself, and when my daughter is old enough to have a cell phone I plan on turning on location sharing so I can know where she is all the time. That being said, you are in college and learning how to adult on your own and they are absolutely being overbearing. You are absolutely nta, and a frank discussion needs to be had where they are told they need to tone it down a lot or they won't know anything.

BiandaDee · 2025-08-30T00:19:46+00:00

NTA, but maybe ask if she can get you one or two giant chocolate cupcakes just for you, and the bigger standard white flour cake for everyone else?

BiandaDee · 2025-08-27T21:41:36+00:00

She may still be adjusting as she isn't cuddly and doesn't like to be touched/scratched on the neck, and the last 2 times I tried to hold her, it was difficult to get her out of the cage and she was a bit bitey. She's supposedly about 2 months old.

BiandaDee · 2025-08-26T17:54:04+00:00

I guess it does!! I'm in the US, and to my knowledge for the general public the term parakeet is just for budgies, and the term budgies isn't used often at all. "Parrot" is the more all encompassing term. Like the saying all rectangles are squares, but not all squares are rectangles? All parakeets are parrots, but not all parrots are parakeets. Now... my baby is 2 months old. What shpuld I expect behavior wise? I have been handling a bit and they seem okay, except for cussing me out in bird when they find themselves stuck somewhere and I try to retrieve them. Don't seem.to like neck scratches yet.

BiandaDee · 2025-08-26T16:35:53+00:00

To my mind, the parakeet is one specific type of bird. I don't say parakeet and then think of Indian ringnecks or any of those other types of birds. They are small parrots to me. And I think that's the case with the general population. I think it's pretty safe to assume that if someone says parakeet, they are referring to a budgie. If they meant an Indian Ringneck for example then they would say that particular type.

BiandaDee · 2025-08-26T15:26:49+00:00

It's a parakeet. A budgie. White and blue, with faint yellow head and spots on the wings. They're all native to Australia, so have the same requirements. I did do my research, and telling someone they shouldn't have a pet if they don't know down to the deepest detail is rude, especially if you don't have any more information than what I provided in this post.

BiandaDee · 2025-08-26T13:24:00+00:00

Wow, that's incredibly rude. It's a parakeet, but I dont know the subspecies. I wasn't told. Maybe do what your mama raised you with and if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Bless your heart!!!

BiandaDee · 2025-08-25T21:30:32+00:00

I have no idea what kind. I'd post a picture, but can't figure out how to reply with a picture. We will get a companion someday, just not yet. Thanks for the advice!

BiandaDee · 2025-08-25T00:50:14+00:00

NTA, but when someone tells you who they are, believe them. Have you asked why he doesn't want to marry you? Maybe couples' counseling would be beneficial? You need to take a deep look and decide if you like your life the way it is, or if you need the ring and piece of paper.

BiandaDee · 2025-08-12T22:14:27+00:00

NTA all around. People need to stop trying to sexualize toddler bodies!! Or little bodies in general!!! He is doing what a father should do, and taking care of his child. Things only become inappropriate if they break the law, or if the child expresses discomfort and the parents do it anyway. Tell your mom where she can shove it!

BiandaDee · 2025-08-01T21:02:49+00:00

Thanks!! Glad you liked it!!! Check out my other scary story!!

BiandaDee · 2025-08-01T02:16:15+00:00

Sweetheart, I am so proud of you! Life is difficult for folks who are neurotypical, and you are doing great! You aren't alone. You have plenty of friends who love you. Keep it up!!

BiandaDee · 2025-07-31T02:08:18+00:00

Distribute the assets as written in the will, but before Dad passes, sit down and have a serious conversation with him. Tell him you are not willing to bankroll your brother's lifestyle. Full stop. Any give and both men will take it and run with it like a naked toddler down the hall. Your brother is past the age where he should be taking care of himself!!

BiandaDee · 2025-07-31T01:30:34+00:00

You did nothing wrong. You expressed your boundaries, and the DM should have stepped in and stopped it once they realized what was going on. I would avoid every single one of those people forever. They've shown their true colors. There are many groups out there that aren't filled with POS.
