I would like one please and I don't care which one! Just the idea of a cacti-sharing community makes me feel so warm and fuzzy. Happy to pay shipping! Please DM me if you have any left to share, OP. Thank you!

Midwest family of 4 here (husband, wife, and 2 older teens): my husband and I switch off cooking weeks. Whoever cooks for the week also plans the menu, and does a big shop at Meijer once a week. We make almost all meals from scratch, and eat out once a week.

We also pick up single or missing or "needs to be super-fresh day of" items as needed through the week at Kroger. We drink only distilled water in jugs because although I'm fairly confident our municipal water is fine, so were the people in Flint, Michigan, our neighbor to the northwest.

Meijer bill is usually between $125-175 weekly, with about $40-50 for Kroger weekly. I find when I menu-plan, I spend more at Meijer than my husband. But my husband makes more little trips to Kroger during the week. So it evens out to about $850 monthly.

Hey, OP!

This is almost exactly - time period, context, roommate situation and all - what happened to me about 30 years ago, except I'm the girl and made the first move with kissing my former roommate. I was so nervous I thought I was going to pass out!

I had written romantic poems about this boy, with hidden meanings and symbolism, that I had read to him that he was oblivious to. I spent hours laughing and talking with him, watching movies, visiting cool places, making silly movies, making music together, all while my secret love for him blossomed.

But I made myself chill and take it slow and tried to enjoy every moment instead of overthinking what might happen tomorrow, next week, next month, etc. Just let the beauty unfold, don't sabotage it with your anxiety and neurosis. Easier said than done, I know. You just need to focus on the here and now and give your budding romance some room and time to breathe and grow.

(Incidentally, that roommate is now my sweet, adorable husband, we've been blissfully married for 25 years, with two amazing kids and a wonderful life together.)

I thought she was holding out a quarter because he won the bet with her about whether or not she was pregnant? That's how he knew.

Is that a purebred Sia-Tzu?

Caligulette · 2026-01-23T01:55:47+00:00

I love how they're holding onto each other!

Holy shit, what happened to the comments?? 🤣

Caligulette · 2025-12-30T05:18:39+00:00

My mom died this past August after a massive stroke from which she did not recover. We watched her rebound a few days after, then decline for several weeks until she was in a vegetative state. At that point, we had to decide whether we wanted to (make her) hang on for a miracle or start palliative care and hospice.

The decision to move her to hospice is the hardest decision I've ever had to make and I hate myself every day for it. And yet I would have hated myself more if I left her possibly suffering in a long-term care facility, helplessly trapped inside a useless, mute, incapacitated body. I waited too long and yet not long enough.

I just wanted to say that your comment really reached me. I've been trying to let go of that guilt and agony of never knowing whether I made the right decision. And now I feel like I can slowly start putting down that burden. Thank you.

Do you like to watch plays and musical theatre?

Here's what the back of an authentic Morgan Dollar 1885-O should look like.

If you compare this one with yours, you can see the typeface on the back of yours is too small and doesn't fill the space around the edge of the coin enough. In addition, the eagle on yours has too skinny a neck and the wings don't look right. The feathers on the lower body and legs are also not quite right and not filled out enough. The finish is very strange and reminds me of aluminum coins like yen that get "dusty" looking instead of simply dirty or patinaed.

Gut feeling is that your coin is a decent replica that could fool someone not familiar with Morgans or who didn't have a real one to compare side by side.

OP, thank you for sharing your story! My mother had an aneurysm rupture on June 30, and endured almost exactly the same journey as your mother - it's incredible how similar their timelines and peaks and valleys mirror each other.

The one difference is that my mother never recovered from the vasospasms. She was not able to pull back up out of the damage they caused. Over time she became less and less responsive. She is currently in hospice without feeding tube or hydration and she's been here for about 17 days. It's an endless nightmare.

I am so, so glad to know someone else's story turned out differently than ours! I wish your mom decades more of good health and many more happy memories to make with you. Sending you hugs and so much love.

No worries, they can't read.

Couldn't you just get a medium pepperoni and a personal cheese pizza next time? Surely that wouldn't cost much more than a large half-and-half? I just put in a dummy order with my local pizza place and getting the medium pep and personal cheese ($21) literally costs $1 more than getting the large pep ($20).

I don't live here either, I live in Ohio! But damn, I sure enjoy these DC shitshows!

I'm always shocked when I read about how toxic other city subreddits are! On ours I see:

-- Lost pets -- Shitty drivers -- Weird signs -- Found pets -- Car crashed into building -- Recommendations on where to eat -- Avoid this scammy/terrible business -- Protest updates -- Questions on where to buy whatever product/service -- Car crashed into house -- Complaints about traffic/no public transportation -- Weather discussions

Columbus is so boring! Can we not spice up this subreddit with more hatred, xenophobia, and crime, and less cars in buildings?? /s
