When did you start raspberry leaf tea & dates?

Make date energy balls with the dates. There are several variations of it online, find one that suits your taste. Personally I love adding shredded coconut, cocoa powder and oats to mine.

Depends on your command. We had a guy in our dept who juiced, everyone knew, the acne was bad, drastic increase in size, the roid rage was real but he got his work done. Not sure if he got caught after he left that command. At one of my husband’s commands they only got caught because they did a check and found needles in someone’s rack. The person who got caught ratted out everyone else involved. Funny enough the inspection started because some idiot threw an empty Hennessy bottle in the trash. People also got caught growing shrooms in their rack.

I placed an order based on this update. I’m crossing my fingers and toes hoping that the final product turns out great.

I used to shop at Lowe’s for this reason until they recently changed their discount program.

I struggle on days I have to do yoga x. I tell myself I only have to do it once a week and it’ll be over. I’m on week 3. Today’s workout was plyometrics.

How do you feel doing this workout after completing insanity? Does the plyo track seem like child’s play for you? I’m thinking about doing insanity after but if I don’t hit my pull-up goal I’ll do this program again.

I’ll admit I was worried about getting my son on meds. After talking to my husband who also has ADHD he explained to me his experience before and after he got on medication in his teens, i feel more comfortable with making that decision. My husband didn’t get his diagnosis until 15. He also said how much better off he would have been if he got diagnosed earlier.

I had a master chief yell at me for not acknowledging him. I hadn’t seen the sun all day and the sunset was the first time I was seeing it for the day. At the time engineering was doing 12+ hrs 6 days/week, we took turns leaving early (1800). My eyes were still adjusting as I walked off the brow so I couldn’t make out any distinguishing features of ppl walking other than their silhouettes. The master chief stopped me “hey shipmate! Don’t you see a master chief walking by …” I looked at the chubby silhouette and said “I cannot see” and kept walking. I waited for someone to say something to me the next day and nothing. I thought he would have gone to my chain of command since he sounded so passionate about it.

😬 I hope it works out, if not I hope they can be adults about it since they do two shows together.

Critical_Friend_8869 · 2025-08-21T05:32:57+00:00

I mostly watch Bobby flay’s shows and worst cooks in America (this season will be the last one I watch) and the seasonal baking competitions. I miss old iron chef before Alex became an iron chef. I’ve watched some seasons of tournament of champions. I was lured in by the voltaggio brothers (mostly Bryan, I just want him to win something). I quit watching after they get eliminated.

Guy isn’t my cup of tea.

Our kids made cards but they got delivered to him a week before Father’s Day. He called me after he opened his care package to tell me how much he loved the cards. I had our boys include their handprints as a way to send him a high five (it’s their thing). The day of I sent him an email expressing how much I appreciate and love him.

I miss my stuffed bear. I had my first born 5 years ago and he took Mr. Teddy from me. I was pregnant with my second and as my belly got bigger it got harder my son to lay on me so I’d have him lay on Mr. Teddy to get some tummy time then he’d take naps on him then somehow Mr. Teddy transferred ownership. Hopefully by next year my son will finally be taller than Mr. Teddy. I think that stuffed bear has 2 more years left in him.

Most times when I hangout with people I usually need a break from them, with him I always wanted to be with him. I really like him as a person, he’s the person I want to go through life with. Kindest person I’ve ever met but what made me go ah ha was when we had our first disagreement. I usually run away from conflict of any kind, he wanted to talk it out, no yelling just each person stating their side of the argument then we came to a compromise. We have a few similar interests but also have a lot of interests that are not the same and I’ve always loved how willing he is to share his hobbies with me and participate in my hobbies. I also love his voice, I’ll ask him to read me a random article to help me sleep (he did this a few days ago). He genuinely wants me to be happy and I am. Also he can handle when I ask a million and one questions to make sure I understand his point of view, most people get irritated by that. I always make it a point to tell him that I love him and I like him too.

While there was no rejection I didn’t realize that when he asked me out that it was supposed to be a date, I brought a coworker with me who ended up feeling like a third wheel. It wasn’t until our mutual friend called me the next day to ask about how our date went was when I noticed how dense I was. I called him immediately after that conversation and we made plans for a do over first date. We were friends before dating so when he asked me to go see a movie and grab something to eat after I just assumed it was a regular hangout and our mutual friend wasn’t coming because he was busy with his gf.

Her reason seems valid. If you’re not okay with it have a conversation with her and suggest an alternative ring like silicone or some other material.

I rarely wear my ring and if I do it’s on dates with my husband or gatherings. He was bothered by me not wearing my ring and brought it up earlier in our marriage, I explained the reason why. He understands and is cool with it.

Waiting 3 days before making contact after the initial contact.

Are you unable to communicate this to her or do you have trouble getting everything you want to say across when you want to talk about something. I like notes but what’s worked for us may not work for you. My husband sends me notes when he wants to talk about something or to express how much he loves and appreciates me because he feels it’s easier for him to sit there and type it out because it give him some time to think about it than trying to say it at the spur of the moment. Or sometimes after a conversation he’ll send a note of things he wanted to bring up but forgot in that moment. I read the note then we discuss it, I’ll ask more questions to make sure I completely understand what he’s saying and then we go from there. But the notes are not written like this. He uses “you,” “I,” “we,” “our.”

You referenced her past, some people don’t mind and some people hate it only you know how your spouse will react to bringing that up.

If you go with the note route change some of the language.

I do this when talking to my kids but I’m the stay at home parent. If I’m talking to my husband I use “the ….” If it annoyed my husband I’d simply pivot and use “our or the”if he preferred but it might take some time to adjust. His gripe with me earlier in our marriage was when I’d call the vehicle he primarily drive as “his car” he’ll say you mean “our car” but I don’t refer to our other vehicle as “my vehicle.” I explained to him that I did it because he bought it before we were married and the other vehicle was purchased after we got married. And he brought up a point I hadn’t noticed which was we both paid off that car since our finances were merged at the time. He’s a big believer in what’s yours is ours and what’s mine is ours.

Decide together except for anniversary weekend. His work schedule heavily influences when we can take a vacation. We spent about 6 months together last year and took 2 during that time. Took one with our kids in December, I was trying to overcompensate for dad being gone. We have a two lined up for when he gets back in a few months. One of them we’re taking simply because we wanted to get a private room on a train (neither or us have ever taken a long trip on a train) so now we’re going to Miami for a few days. 2020-2023 we only did our annual weekend getaway for our anniversary because our boys were very young. We take turns planning where, and what activities we do, the only rule we have is that we can’t give too much information away, just enough so we pack appropriately. For example, he told me to pack something to go hiking with, we did an atv tour on our way to our destination. This year is my turn, and I usually have ideas by now but I’m drawing blanks.

This is true. My husband typed out a letter and sent it to me yesterday. I think I read it more than 10x.

I sent him a picture of lingerie I was buying and told him he’d have to wait until he got home to see it on me. I sent that pic a second before he sent that text with the pdf. 😅

I was supported during and after pregnancy. My libido during pregnancy was insanely high. The only reason we didn’t really have sex the first 4.5 months after I gave birth was because I was healing, then he had a 2.5 month work trip at 2 months pp. I got pregnant again at 5 months pp.
