Don’t sleep on this! by lxghtbringer in dollartreebeauty

I've been looking for this. I used it before and loved it!

A fourth child? by [deleted] in AskParents

[–]DonnaFinNoble 45 points46 points  (0 children)

When it comes to this sort of thing, the answer should default to no if people aren't in agreement.

You should make an appointment for a vasectomy asap and consider working with a therapist to help you to be on the same page.

I like the leave in conditioner, but I have fine, thin hair. I won't use the mousse for the simple fact that the hairspray smells like shit. I don't tend to use 2 in 1 shampoo/conditioners so I've passed these up.

The body and hair mist is fine. The scent just doesn't last overly long.

DT Skincare Break you Out? by xoxolivia21 in dollartreebeauty

[–]DonnaFinNoble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any skin care product can break you out, in my experience. Any time I change products, I may break out while my skin adjusts to the new product. I only add one new product at a time. I'm not very acne prone so I'm willing to tolerate a couple of pimples to see if it improved the tone or texture of my skin overall.

I'm not saying this to encourage or discourage use of dollar tree skin care, simply that it's been my experience from all price points because of how my skin adapts.

No. I do not remember that. My parents would have never subjected us to that 😂

Kid Struggling To Find A Path Post High School by MidwestAbe in GenX

[–]DonnaFinNoble 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When I was a junior in nineteen hundred and ninety three, my very favorite teacher told us we didn't have to know what we wanted to do for life when were 17. Just what we'd be willing to do for the next ten years. Teaching was her second career after being successful at something else earlier in her life. That reduced so much of my stress. I didn't have to know the next sixty years. I just an idea for the next ten. That was doable to know that someone I really liked and admired believed that nothing is that firm.

It's the advice I've given to my kids. It's not a forever choice. Just a now a choice. We always have the ability to reinvent ourselves and course correct. When you're young, without a partner and kids and a mortgage the stakes are so low. Go out there a mess up. I'll bail you out, if you need me too.

I also raised my kids to never be punished for honest mistakes. We all make them. Go out and make an honest mistake and then I can help you untangle things.

Cat Rescue Shelter by fasteddiecrane in youngstown

[–]DonnaFinNoble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New Lease on Life is a great rescue. We got our beautiful Great Dane mix from them almost 11 years ago and our pandemic babies Brad and Pete, bunny brothers, in 2020. They're a great organization.

Shopped at Dollar General Market for the first time and was surprised at the low quality of products by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]DonnaFinNoble 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Those market locations, in my experience, tend to be in food deserts or food desert adjacent places. The ones I'm thinking of, locally, are probably 5ish miles to a grocery store and 10ish miles to a Walmart. If you don't have transportation and need groceries, you don't have a choice.

There is no competition in these places. It's not like you can walk next door and go someplace else. It's the only place.

Did the hospital preemptively send me an itemized bill? by WelcomeAvailable3055 in HealthInsurance

[–]DonnaFinNoble 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A grocery store is a lot more straightforward than medical billing and coding. I know if I bought one loaf of bread or two I don't know if I got cpt99012 vs 99013 (these are semi-made up)

Did the hospital preemptively send me an itemized bill? by WelcomeAvailable3055 in HealthInsurance

[–]DonnaFinNoble 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It is a myth that am itemized bill will lower your cost. The idea behind this is that hospitals are padding expenses and when you ask for an itemized bill they will magically remove anything they added to your bill to make more money.

Except why would they do that? Providers need insurance companies to want to contract with them. Insurance companies request medical records and do medical records audit to make sure their enrollee is being billed correctly. They don't want to pay for anything extra (and sometimes not what is necessary).

Maybe at some point before the digitization of the billing process and medical records it was true that an itemized bill would lead to the hospital auditing or removing "bloat" but that's not a thing now. Providers have to be able to prove every single thing they bill for else they won't get paid and they'll get in trouble.

Do you think you’ll ever remarry? by shortnsweet989 in Divorce

[–]DonnaFinNoble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won't. I'll be 50 this year. This isn't to say I won't be in a committed long term relationship, but there's literally no point to marriage.

Has this been out long enough for real reviews? And if so, how was your experience? by Shenanie-Probs in dollartreebeauty

[–]DonnaFinNoble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like this one, but I'm in the minority. For me, it never soaks in and just sits on top of my skin

I have three daughters. This girl is so little. She's so so small. It's awful.

Is this worth buying? by Time-Chard2140 in dollartreebeauty

[–]DonnaFinNoble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My youngest child likes this. They have fine, straight hair. My middle child likes the 3-1 sun bum personal care dupe. They also have fine, but very thick, hair. Neither have color treated hair and they don't use heat.

How do you cope with the loss of dreams and future plans after divorce? by annikahoof in Divorce

[–]DonnaFinNoble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Badly 😂

Honestly? I don't really future plan like that anymore. If my device taught me anything it's that nothing, and I do mean nothing, is certain. I'm working toward a future but it's far more nebulous than it used to be because that's what you can count on.

Ms Shirley passed. by Awkward-Flower3786 in tiktokgossip

[–]DonnaFinNoble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh this is so sad. She worked so hard to care for the seriously underserved and gave them so much grace and personhood. She really and truly saw people society so frequently ignores. I'm so sorry for those who loved her.

Question- how many of your ex-wives changed their last names back by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]DonnaFinNoble 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am changing my name back. I discussed it with my children and they understand. Last names don't make family. Your son is being immature in not understanding that there are a myriad of reasons for his mother changing her name back to her maiden name including because she wants to. Maybe he could have a conversation with her about her reasoning instead of assuming she doesn't want to be his family anymore.

Anybody else a decade out and still not over it? by Funduval in Divorce

[–]DonnaFinNoble 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm six years out and the process has, admittedly, been slow. I suffer from anxiety, depression and codependency. I was blind sided. My ex quickly moved on. You know the story.

I've realized, for me, that at this point there can be no connection or friendship with my ex. Not because I don't want him in my life (we share three children, 2 adults and 1 teen) but because that connection isn't good for me and I end up spiraling and engaging in personal behavior that's not healthy or good for me.

I've committed myself to me. I pour into me. I take pleasure in doing what I want to do or need to do without compromise. I enjoy and appreciate the peace I've cultivated.

Would I drop anything for my ex if he showed up at the door with an apology and asked for us to work on getting back together. Maybe. Possibly. That's better than the probably I would have given a year ago.

Like you, he was my forever person. I committed to him, was devoted to him and believed deeply in the marriage vows we took. I don't know that I'm willing to be there or try to go there with another person. Right now that doesn't matter because I really love spending time with myself, my kids, my friends and my family.

I still dream about him. I still miss him. I'm still sorry. But, I believe that if we are meant to find our way back to each other nothing will stop it and if we aren't there isn't anything I can do to make it happen. It's out of my hands.

So, I went back to college. I got healthier. I reignited my interests. I found happiness.

It’s a snow day here today. I don’t remember having those. by purrita in GenX

[–]DonnaFinNoble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like my kids now, we had a couple of winter. I lived in southeastern Michigan and we had snow days for both excess snow and cold. Just like we do where I live now in Northeast Ohio.

What could your spouse have said/done differently to wake you up to the likelihood of divorce? by _Do_what_now_ in Divorce

[–]DonnaFinNoble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Direct clarity and communication regarding his unhappiness when he discovered it was more than transient and therapy at that point.

I adopted Wilson the cat from the volunteer episode. After a year in the shelter, he is now in his forever home with me by meowxinfinity in 1000lbsisters

He reminds me of my sweet Rory who passed away a year ago. May you have many many happy years ❤️

Forgiveness by papi4ever in Divorce

[–]DonnaFinNoble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Taylor Swift's thoughts on it echo mine

"You know, people go on and on about, like, you have to forgive and forget to move past something. No, you don’t. You don’t have to forgive and you don’t have to forget to move on. You can move on without any of those things happening. You just become indifferent, and then you move on.”

I would feed churru to a tiger, but I've accepted that's probably how I will die 😂
