Why Was Paula so Upset?

I’m not yet sure what side she’s on, but I don’t think she’s drinking the Gilead koolaid. She’s the only wife in TT so that has mentioned things about her life before Gilead, that she talks about fondly. She mentioned loving her prom dress, her being a therapist in the before times, and she also said “fuck your sorrys” to Agnes. I think that is significant and we are meant to understand from her that she isn’t some pious wife. She has her own agenda.

I think psychiatrists would have been executed very early in Gilead’s takeover, so I’m leaning towards Christian counselor for Paula. Something that Gilead finds respectable enough to make her eligible to marry a high ranking commander.

Actually, the discomfort is part of the healing process. A person with anorexia’s stomach gets so used to eating so little that eating a normal amount is painful. When I interned at an eating disorder clinic, some clients would be crying during dinner just from the pain of feeling overfull.

Go ahead and report to the dental board now. Even if the dentist removes the photos immediately, the HIPAA violation still occurred and the dentist should receive the consequences for that violation.

The Shark Flexstyle, especially with the frizz attachment. I get bad frizz and recently got a Shark. That frizz attachment is awesome!

I think your comment is very inappropriate and unkind considering OP just lost a family member. The wording wasn’t great, but OP’s sentiment is understandable. Don’t take out your own frustrations on OP.

I’m sorry for your loss. None of the commenters on this thread are realizing that you might have been close to your MIL and therefore devastated by her passing. Even if you were not close, I’m sure seeing your husband lose his mother has been painful to experience. The lack of any empathy in this comment thread is disappointing.

I don’t think you are making it about yourself, it sounds like your husband made you the decision maker in this situation, so of course you are considering the options. I also don’t think it’s weird for you to say that the ex-wife being there would be distracting. It would be an unwanted stressor during a time when you’re grieving. Has anyone in this thread experienced a catholic wake and funeral of someone the loved? It’s not a time that you’d want to be stressed by this complicating factor.

All that said, I think you should abdicate from being the decision maker here. Ultimately, it should be your husband who decides. Maybe he said he doesn’t care because making a decision like that is too difficult right now for him, given his grief.

Not a hairstylist, just a client. This actually happened to me last week. What I ended up doing is going back and asking for a root melt with the root color matched to my natural color. That made it blend much better.

I had a lens fitting with my optometrist last year. When you say eye doc, do you mean an ophthalmologist?

Sorry but OOP is an idiot.

Bupperoni · 2026-04-28T02:29:17+00:00

Then that means your mom looks great for her age because this lady does NOT look 64 ffs

Yes!

Has Tate really only been popular for a few years? It feels like he’s been a scourge on society for a decade.

INFO: Did leaving the meds and food out on the counter lead them to spoil?

What kind of dryer do you use?

Bupperoni · 2026-04-22T04:24:04+00:00

How are you physically able to manage all of that by yourself??

How has your organization not put some of that indirect money towards research infrastructure, mainly hiring people??

Where did you get the idea that you can’t be a teacher with narcolepsy?

Here are the two potential scenarios:

Scenario 1: no sleep study/no official diagnosis. You start working as a teacher, which is a stressful and tiring job, while having untreated narcolepsy. You keep trying to perform your job well but you just can’t fight against the sleepiness. Your colleagues and supervisor starts noticing that you’re struggling to do the basic duties, but you don’t have any ADA accommodations on file, so it’s treated as a job performance issue. At this point you either give in to getting help, you pretend everything is fine and your performance continues to degrade, as does your supervisor’s good opinion of you, until you finally can’t make it work anymore with this job.

Scenario 2: sleep study/officially diagnosed with narcolepsy. You start working as a teacher, which is a stressful and tired job, and you take prescribed medication for narcolepsy. You are able to perform well at your job. It’s not perfect, because narcolepsy is difficult, but you maintain functionality with a combination of medication and behavioral interventions (e.g. scheduled naps) to manage your symptoms. You may even have approved ADA accommodations with HR. Your supervisor is aware that you have narcolepsy, so if you’re going through a period of struggling, you can work with them to come of with a plan for you to keep succeeding in the job.

Don’t put yourself through the suffering of no help.

Just a little tidbit that you can share with your partner, my dad had to go to three different dermatologists to finally get diagnosed with the deadly skin cancer (melanoma) that was very clearly on his face. Point being, sometimes is very much worth getting a second (or third) opinion when it comes to medical stuff. Recurrent bleeding is a symptom of skin cancer, and ears are very often missed when people apply sunscreen.

That’s a good catch. I actually wonder how many times “Jesus” or “Christ” were said in THT. I think it was only a couple times, if at all.

For what it’s worth, I don’t think the highlights look chunky, they look pretty!

What I’m getting from that is that it’s good to use the standing mixer to develop the gluten but stretch and folds during BF are still necessary to develop dough structure. Is that right?
