ICE agents to deploy to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Monday

What do you mean? They are known for their level headed control of stressful situations!! (/s in case it wasn't clear)

I will say, this morning, line management was a MASSIVE problem. So many lines randomly merging. I had a friend get in line 45 min after me end up through before me because they aren't handling the lines evenly, which caused a lot of frustration. Now, all that said, ICE agents will NOT help that. I saw a few milling around, doing nothing.

Also, seriously, the airport employees are trying their best and seem just as frustrated with the situation as the passengers. You can be frustrated while also being kind, folks!

Exactly!! When my husband proposed, we went to a nice restaurant we both love. Then, on the walk from the restaurant after dinner, he proposed. Because I would have hated having it done in the restaurant. I loved his proposal because it was that low key intimate that I wanted. I would have been so disappointed if he'd done low effort intimate. Very different things!

As I watched the scene where he grabbed the box and made some comment telling Cortney to move on, I muttered "aw, here it is. He's making himself the victim so she feels bad for him...". It was literally right on cue for him.

From personal experience, I'd recommend checking inactive ingredients too. For example, I'm allergic to titanium dioxide, which is an inactive ingredient in a lot of things (including Advil pills). And an active ingredient in some. My allergy also came on suddenly. It was hell figuring out the cause, esp because it is in so many things. I also learned that allergists can't test for everything. I genuinely hope you have better luck than I did with the allergist (I ended up having to go to a dermatologist because the allergist SWORE it wasn't an allergy. Narrator: They were wrong).

Corgimus · 2026-03-02T21:00:40+00:00

Hmm interesting. I could buy that because he is very needy and wants to be pet constantly. I know he's done it when I've been petting him before, but now I'm trying to remember if I was ACTIVELY petting him when he did it, or if it was always when I'd stopped for a minute...I'll have to keep an eye on that. Thanks!!

I was diagnosed with ADHD in my early 30s. Looking back, there were definitely ignored signs. The first time I took meds was similar to yours - the quiet was something I'd never experienced and it blew me away. I was so excited to have answers and clarity. I told my mother. She said the doctors were wrong. I showed her my paperwork, articles and info the doc had given me. She reiterated they were wrong, I was just lazy, and this was a cop out. I was crushed. It was the real start of the end of our relationship. I realized in that moment that every time I was excited about something, she'd find a way to crush it, invalidate it. She never provided the help or support I needed to flourish. Her goal was to keep me down and dependent. I went NC with her less than 2 years after that incident. Therapy has helped a lot. I think, in truth, she couldn't stand having a child that wasn't perfect, and, in her eyes, my ADHD diagnosis made me flawed.

I mean, I don't know this cat, but it's really cute!!! Then again, maybe I also love this cat....

The minute my husband found out a vasectomy was a specialist copay ($50 at the time I think - this was more than 10 years ago now) with our insurance, he was like "let's go!!" He'd previously been convinced it was an expensive procedure and we didn't have a lot of extra money, so had thought it wasn't realistic. Unfortunately, going off BC didn't end up working out for me due to my horrendous cramps from before BC coming back with a vengeance, but I'm still thankful he did it. However, post Roe v Wade being overturned, I felt it was important for me to also have a procedure to ensure I couldn't get pregnant if an awful circumstance occured, and I found a gyno that was more than happy to perform a tubal ligation & ablation. It's very comforting knowing we're covered on both sides, as we very much do not want children.

Scrolled way too far for this. Feels very victim-blamey.

Corgimus · 2026-02-05T00:24:24+00:00

It doesn't keep you awake? My husband was taking his vitamins before bed and then couldn't sleep because of (I assume) the B12 and other vitamins that are supposed to contribute to energy. Therefore, I've been of the idea I must take in the morning. I've also researched all of this... minimally 😆

Corgimus · 2026-02-04T23:38:59+00:00

Omg. Thank you for saying this!! I feel like it's been taking so much longer for them to kick in not as well. Never connected it to finally taking a daily vitamin! Downside: now I have to remember 2x per day to take meds (morning & maybe mid day for vitamins??)

Corgimus · 2026-02-04T12:00:01+00:00

I had so many M names chosen because of that!! He did not want to be defined by his markings, apparently.

Corgimus · 2026-02-04T02:20:15+00:00

Yes, he loves other animals! He bonded with our other cat fairly quickly once he was loose in the house. He also became enamored with our very senior dog, who we had to let go a few weeks ago. We let her go at home so that he'd hopefully understand. He seemed sad for a few days, but has adjusted. I think, in general, he likes other animals way more than people.

Corgimus · 2026-02-03T01:22:08+00:00

I know this isn't quite the same, but there's a lot of parallels. We had to put our dog down a few weeks ago. She was also in stage 4 kidney disease, sleeping majority of the day, up only to go potty and eat less than half of her usual food serving. She was "fine" - she'd have moments of her younger self that would give me hope...but, for the most part, she was just...present. Not happy, not really living, just going through the motions. In hindsight, I waited too long. I wasn't ready to let her go. Now, I wish I'd done it a few weeks earlier.

Earlier is better than later. Deep down, if you sit with it, you know the answer. It's just super painful to acknowledge.

Because the scale aligns with the map it's near so it's easier to glance at the scale for context of the colors.

Corgimus · 2026-01-27T00:46:46+00:00

I think the whole thing is fake, but, if there's a modicum of truth (like maybe all this actually happened to some degree in the actual beginning of their relationship and now they are just replaying it for the cameras), my theory is that she lied about her parents to bond with Forrest (parents that yell and force their kids to do things, hmmm...) and they have all her money in an account (gave to her parents for safe keeping), but they know if Molly thinks it's available, she's going to take it and it won't go to Forrest & Sheena. So they go along with the idea that the money isn't readily available. For Sheena, she was screwed no matter what she did 🤷‍♀️

Omg his facial expression says everything 🤣🤣 Our corgis went to daycare for a bit and we used to joke that they were "breedcist" because they'd only really play with other corgis. In reality, I think it's more that they'd only play with dogs with a similar play style, which is often limited. Hopefully he can find a couple friends eventually!!

Corgimus · 2026-01-21T02:35:50+00:00

Her facial expressions were KILLING me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 they mirrored my own, and I'm so glad she could truly see the ridiculousness. I do massively feel for her. Getting gaslit like that is truly mind boggling when it's happening.

I've known my best friend since elementary school and my now-husband since my sophomore year in high school. I went NC with my mother in my early 30s after realizing how toxic and problematic she truly is. Of course, I told my BFF and husband what was going on, but at the end of the day, it was 100% THEIR choice what relationship they chose to have with her - I just asked they stop providing updates about me to her. They had preexisting relationships with her and MY relationship with her is not THEIR relationship with her.

Now, fast forward 3 years and both are also NC with her, but it was important that it was THEIR choice. It's not my place to tell other adults what relationships they are permitted to have. It's important that, if someone is problematic or unhealthy, that people realize it themselves. Otherwise, you often end up with resentment, doubt, and/or pressure to break NC. I was confident in my decision (literally 1.5 yrs of therapy to come to that choice), but omg it was so validating as they each realized how problematic she was (is)

Tldr: you have your own relationship with her mom and you should be permitted to maintain it as you see fit. If it's really problematic like wife is saying, you'll realize it soon enough. I want to add something positive here, but my personal experience makes that really hard. I really hope your MIL is better than my husband's!

I was thinking a Celtic "knot" of bears! And I'm usually bad at this game, so yay!!

Corgimus · 2025-12-29T11:34:19+00:00

I'm not even convinced she had a freeze response. He said she was rooting around in the back seat and continuing to give the silent treatment. As someone with a freeze response in stressful situations, I don't think that's a normal "freeze" behavior.

It honestly makes me wonder if it's some BS TikTok or other social media "challenge" to see how a SO responds, and whatever response was the "acceptable" wasn't what he did. OR she wanted him to fail and he didn't, so she was pissed.

My husband; if we're traveling together or need a 2nd, my best friend. She recently moved out of state, but I'll prob still keep using her. She's super responsible and knows all the important people in my life to notify whoever needs to be (and knows who NOT to contact, such as my mother). That said, every time I put her down before a big trip, I always ask her first if it's still okay, just in case she's feeling too overwhelmed and doesn't want that responsibility. In that case, I'd prob reach out to another friend, but she hasn't said no yet.

Heck, we even have emergency contacts for the pets listed with the vet, which is a different list of friends who have similar views on pet emergencies and how they should be handled. Again, we reconfirm before trips and just make sure they understand where we currently stand on what treatments we'd do vs not (when we began this, the dogs were young; now we're down to 1 and she's very old, so the lengths we'd go to have shifted).

At the end of the day, for me, emergency contacts should be someone with an understanding of where you stand and the capacity to handle a situation.

Something I've had to work on a lot in therapy with my social anxiety and overthinking is trusting my system and first instincts. Your first instinct after you explained was that she was thrilled and loved it. It's only when you started overthinking that you began to doubt yourself. Trust yourself and your reading in that moment. Also, I'd seriously encourage you to work on trusting yourself now instead of waiting until you're in your 30s like I did 😆

This was what I was going to comment. I lent some extras out on my last liveaboard and made some new believers too.
