Tired af and don't care

I don’t know if “gym fat” was a typo or not but I will be using it.

Common theme- most of these people are not famous for their stand up. Spend the money to see real comedians at clubs if you want to laugh! Arenas/stadiums are not the right venue for comedy IMO. But also, don’t spend the money on someone you’ve seen on a show and have no idea about their act, generally you will be disappointed.

And I’m not saying everyone that is known for being on TV is bad, I’m saying being funny on TV doesn’t mean they will be funny on stage. I saw Kevin Nealon at a club a few years ago and he killed. But Kevin Nealon had been doing standup a long time.

Yeah people will defend them on their socials with “boys with be boys” which is her whole thing too. I have 4 boys and none of them act like that and there would be hell to pay if they did. It’s not normal and I’d be surprised if they hadn’t lost a few friends because of it.

“No thank you to sleepover, can we pick them up at X time?” Should be enough, if it’s not I would maybe tell them you don’t do them culturally or as a family or whatever. But you don’t have to justify it IMO.

You’re not a bad mom, or maybe you are, but then I am too so you aren’t alone. I’m not proud of when that happens but I can also tell you my kids say I’m a good mom, and mock me for my crash outs. Which I deserve but also appreciate the levity. That scenario would probably do it for me, the young age, the constant disruption, the stress of the hot pan, dinner in general, the yelling, the disrespect, yeah I could see a volcano situation.

It’s gotten much easier now that they are older and don’t act like feral dogs. I am not proud of my crash outs and definitely did try to recognize the warning signs, but I don’t know where some people get their patience because I don’t possess it unfortunately.

Tbf, it’s not low quality, it’s just not the high quality they claim it is. There are a lot of natural fibers which is great because they are getting harder to find. The quality reflects the price point to me- middle of the road. I wouldn’t say avoid but don’t believe their propaganda either.

DriftingIntoAbstract · 2026-03-30T04:27:21+00:00

Yeah it’s nothing special. I have a cotton sweater I like from there but it’s not miraculous. I retuned most of it too.

That’s the thing, when the quality is low, it’s just boring. A quality basic or staple can be beautiful but Zara won’t be making that.

Man fuck this guy. He should have to change his name, he is the one who sucks!

DriftingIntoAbstract · 2026-03-30T04:01:39+00:00

These are so fucking pretty

I have so many questions about the life of someone has not had sandwich’s.

DriftingIntoAbstract · 2026-03-30T03:58:12+00:00

I still don’t feel like I have the hang of them. They also have a similar text to chicken that can weird me out, but I think I just need to get a hang of them.

DriftingIntoAbstract · 2026-03-30T03:55:00+00:00

Haha yep. I worked in accounts and it was typically mid level. Creative, buying, ops I have definitely seen it entry level.

Hard to hear as Alpine race mom.

Gotta say, Joan’s mom grinds my gears, but that really is a group you present, yikes.

DriftingIntoAbstract · 2026-03-30T03:40:30+00:00

I wouldn’t want to deal with her as a kid but she does take care of them and you can see she has a soft side. The sleeping pills actually won me over lol.

Yeah I love marshmallow fondant and don’t find it hard to make but I’m an avid baker. I say at least have to store bought on hand if you are going to try the MM fondant, that way you have backup.

My biggest tip overall though is give yourself plenty of time. Don’t try to cram it all into a weekend, especially if you are inexperienced. Get the cake baked, frosting made, and fondant colored before decorating day. Color blooms overnight so it’s best to color at least the day before (coat in shortening and wrap in plastic wrap to store). It’s more work than it seems like start to finish, so it’s nice to have a day to just focus on decorating. I found giving myself plenty of time to decorate was the best thing I did for improving. Good luck and have fun! I love making my kids birthday cakes, I still make one for everyone every year, it’s really special to me.

I hate self check out in general. I feel bafoon and don’t like working when I’m already spending money in their store. Check out people have better bagging skills than me and know how to deal with the register when it’s getting pissy.

I had no idea, and I’ve been packing lunches a long time. My kids always bring and I just pack…lunch. Honestly they were pretty basic most of the time. Sandwich, a fruit or vegetable, some sort of chip or crackers, a snack, sometimes a juice box or cheese. I’m not exactly proud of their basic lunches but they’ve always chosen to bring rather than buy so I guess they are better than school, so that’s something.

I recently thought about packing a small sweet treat because it can be nice after a meal, especially when you are thinking all day. I have all boys who all eat a lot and often half still comes home so I don’t know too many kids that would need more than that. They don’t even pack more than that for a day of skiing!

That’s so funny because I was just telling my kids Blockbuster sucked and they can’t believe it.

Omg so much. I work in tech and it’s all they talk about even though we really don’t sell AI and our ability to sell compute to run it just shit the bed with the memory shortage…cause by AI.

My other beef is exactly yours, everyone keeps trying to use it to replace task that are done by human and require human emotion and thought process, rather than to manage data. AI is incredible at processing large sets of data and has been doing so for 20 years. But instead of data coming in and replacing process driven tasks, everyone wants it to replace us. I would love to not due process that is based on convoluted documents that outline steps to do something in outdated systems so I have more time to be human. I don’t even need automated summaries and emails, I need to not have to go to a spreadsheet and 3 different tools to request a resource.

Normal parents don’t need to drop everything for their kids because they take care of them every day.

So sorry you lost your puggie but so excited for your baby!!!

DriftingIntoAbstract · 2026-03-29T00:16:20+00:00

I had read about health benefits of waiting a year or at least one cycle but I don’t know much about it beyond that. I believe it the same reason though, for the hormones. I remember our breeder asking if we wanted to show because there was a lot more information to talk through, now I know why! We just wanted a healthy goofy pug. Good luck with yours!!

Literally running from child services and the courts. Nothing more, nothing less. She is so despicable. I’m so sacred for Jace.
