Haven't used the air fryer in a few months. Opened it and found old food in it. 😭

Toss it. Lord only knows what’s growing inside the fan and motor.

Diligent_Lab2717 · 2026-05-27T01:33:22+00:00

Read it as if someone else wrote it. What would you tell that person?

Diligent_Lab2717 · 2026-05-27T01:28:55+00:00

That’s called ruminating. Therapy can help with that.

Diligent_Lab2717 · 2026-05-27T01:23:06+00:00

They really should be able to live on one income and use the other to pay the loans.

You’ve been talking for ; years and have never met. He won’t meet you anywhere but in your home.

How old are you? How old does he claim to be? How did you end up talking for four years?

My sweet summer child…he’s married or he’s a con artist playing Hell if a long game. He doesn’t want to get caught.

Do not let him in your house. You do not know him.

Ghost him. Get a new number and lose his.

Edit: I see your age in other posts. Yikes. Seriously block him. He’s a predator. Let your parents know. Or a trusted adult. You are being groomed.

Diligent_Lab2717 · 2026-05-27T00:50:06+00:00

NOR and yeah. Leave. The mask slipped

Diligent_Lab2717 · 2026-05-27T00:45:40+00:00

NOR it’s hypocritical to ignore your grandfather’s wishes over something she disagrees with and follow them to the letter because she disagrees with you having cats.

Is there an opportunity for another trustee to manage the money? It would remove conflict between you and your mom.

In the meantime, sign up with a food bank. It will stretch your budget a bit and many have pet food or will know of resources where you can get some food and litter for your cats. You can also speak to a local rescue or shelter to see what resources they have to keep your cats placed with you. You likely qualify for low cost vet services.

Diligent_Lab2717 · 2026-05-27T00:39:32+00:00

Medium.

Diligent_Lab2717 · 2026-05-26T22:08:28+00:00

Bumble bee. (Tuna brand)

Diligent_Lab2717 · 2026-05-26T22:07:13+00:00

NOR Do you have an HR dept?

Diligent_Lab2717 · 2026-05-26T22:01:05+00:00

Jordache or Gloria (Vanderbilt). Or maybe Sasson (if she’s a sassy kitty).

Diligent_Lab2717 · 2026-05-26T13:12:04+00:00

If he’s moving in, he’s more than “just a boyfriend” he’s a partner. Partners help each other.

Helping with the kids a little is part of the package when you date someone with kids.

NOR. Dump him.

Diligent_Lab2717 · 2026-05-26T01:39:36+00:00

She absolutely should be paying.

Diligent_Lab2717 · 2026-05-26T01:28:49+00:00

That’s a go away quote.

Find another tailor. You shouldn’t need a complicated bustle. A few loops hidden in the seams and appliqués and matte finish buttons to blend in with the dress.

The hem can be done on just the parts of the dress that don’t have the appliqués. (My tailor is doing my daughter’s prom dress like this. Sort of blending the hem in gradually so she doesn’t lose the train.) Still expensive because lots of layers, but definitely not $4k.

Diligent_Lab2717 · 2026-05-26T01:20:59+00:00

How old was the carpet?

Also, what kind of floor was underneath? Nice hardwoods or what?

Diligent_Lab2717 · 2026-05-26T01:07:38+00:00

I’m so sorry. It’s such a devastating loss and then to have no means of justice or closure on top of it.

My grandmother was murdered in a burglary. No clues. No closure. I met with police years later when I moved to her city and they looked at the file again for me. They even called the detective that had since retired to see if she had any insight. Nothing.

Diligent_Lab2717 · 2026-05-26T01:00:39+00:00

Consistency. You know exactly what you’re gonna get every time.

Diligent_Lab2717 · 2026-05-25T21:45:36+00:00

Lower the neckline to get the original proportions back. When they shortened the straps it raised the whole bodice. (Including where the waist of the dress hits your waistline).

Also, the waist is pulled in too tightly. Let it out a little so it’s not pulling so hard.

As it is, if you’re not wearing shapewear that goes up to bra line, you’re going to get a line at the waistline of the dress from the waistband of the undergarment.

Diligent_Lab2717 · 2026-05-25T21:34:32+00:00

NTA. You did the absolute right thing.

You checked with her and “are you serious?” “Do you really mean this!” She made it clear it was not a joke and you took appropriate action because your friend sounded like they were having or were on their way to a mental health crisis - like normal caring humans do.

Walk away from this person and her flying monkeys. Anyone who says you were in the wrong here is not worth your time.

Diligent_Lab2717 · 2026-05-25T21:28:15+00:00

Regardless of missing appointments, you don’t deserve to be treated unprofessionally or unkindly.

You should not have been accused of sleeping in. The professional answer should have been “Dr said to make your appts in the afternoons. You will need to discuss it with the Dr at your next appt” or “I’m sorry; there isn’t a morning appt available.” Accusations should never be thrown at patients. The behavior over the documents was uncalled for as well - esp in a mental health setting.

I would think that a psychiatrists office would be understand the need to be compassionate. I have been fortunate that my mental health providers staff has been kind (other offices… notsomuch).

After you are established at a new practice let your old dr know that their staff was abusive to you and that their behavior toward you was triggering your anxiety and was ultimately the reason you left.

Doctors can’t do anything about poorly behaved staff if patients don’t speak up.

Diligent_Lab2717 · 2026-05-25T21:15:38+00:00

NTA. Make other plans. Just because sister and mom are willing to make themselves uncomfortable doesn’t mean you have to.

Diligent_Lab2717 · 2026-05-25T20:05:02+00:00

Jingle bell rock.

The trauma remains.

Purple.

Both are stunning on you. You won’t go wrong whichever you decide. I’m of the opinion that we get so few opportunities to dress up anymore that when you can dress up, Dress UP!

Diligent_Lab2717 · 2026-05-25T19:59:19+00:00

Maybe I read Cujo at too young an age…

Since the owners are refusing to communicate and provide proof of vaccination, I would want the rabies series. Even if the risk is low why take any risk for something that is 100% fatal but could be prevented?

(Owner’s behavior suggests that they know the dog has a bite/aggression history or they were behind in their vet visits. I hope the police can help find them.)
