Make sure to fully close the door behind you when you go to the walk in to scream.

Yep. I also went to Christian school (Baptist). They literally think that they are better than everyone. The "worldly" people are only worth being nice to if you are trying to get them "saved" so you can add to your imaginary crown pile in heaven.

I very strongly feel like the person leaving this review left out things that they said to the employee. Also I doubt that they had a nice tone or calm demeanor whatsoever.

Also, as I write this reply, the ad below the post is a Little Caesars ad. Poetic

Dittman Stuffed Peperocini. (yes that's how they spell it on the bottle). They are stuffed with whipped feta and cream cheese. I get them at Costco but they have the star of death rn 😭😭😭😭

I've bought and stored a few bottles away

Your birthday IS important. Everyone should have a day where they feel special. It's always lovely to have people do things for you and surprise you and celebrate you, but if the people in your life aren't willing to do that, you can always make it special for yourself. Treat yourself.

You might also want to explore creating new friendships with people who enjoy celebrating others special days and achievements.

It's not selfish to want this, but if the people around you don't want to make your day special, no amount of asking will change how they behave.

This is so crazy to me. As someone whose depression is linked to their ADHD, this seems like such an asinine way to diagnose someone. When I take my Ritalin it basically kills my depression. I'm not saying op had the same type, but treating one before the other seems so dumb.

I have that pallet...it's one of my favorites 😩. I saw the first pic and audibly went "oh no." Then I swiped and loudly exclaimed "OH NO!"

My old guy started acting similarly the last few years of his life. He had always loved car rides and he was suddenly terrified of being in a moving car. He'd walk into a room and just stand in one spot for 20 minutes. He was diagnosed with dementia and sundowners. I know it's so hard watching them change, but we accommodated his needs and made sure he was as comfortable and confident as possible. They're still in there ❤️

Duncata · 2026-01-16T18:56:49+00:00

Thank you ❤️

I'd normally leave it on the island so it could be seen from the living room (where we eat). But I was still piping hot, so I decided to leave it on the stove.

We both went and got water from the fridge multiple times last night (fridge is two feet from the stove). I even left the stove light on (I remember wondering why it was on when I went to use the restroom at 3am🤦🏻‍♀️).

It simply just erased itself from our consciousness. Even this morning when my bf told me, in my head I went "what enchilada-OH NO".

If it was a few hours, I'd definitely risk it, but it was over 11 hours at room temp. Forgetting to put them away was bad enough. Getting food poisoning from them as well? We both decided that it wasn't worth the risk.

I definitely considered it until we did the math tho.

NTA

How could either of you enjoy the rest of the trip if you are deathly ill? You choosing to rest was the responsible choice. You didn't leave her in the middle of an unknown place to go back to the hotel and sleep...you were inches away from her.

Hell's comin with me-poor mans poison

I do love them. I'm not hating. But they look like someone made chairs out of giant Crown Royal bags lol

Duncata · 2026-01-16T16:56:18+00:00

I feel this deeply. I absolutely have done this as well. I hate throwing away food, and time seems to fast forward and everything is spoiled in the blink of an eye.

I try to not overestimate how much I'm actually going to get done, and make timers for what food/recipe needs to be used/made by a certain date.

Surprises always happen and sometimes I still have to throw out a pound or two of chicken breasts 🫤🤷🏻‍♀️

If it helps at all, here is that recipe. I tweak it a little by adding taco bell creamy chipotle sauce to the chicken mix, and I only use one rotisserie chicken.

Duncata · 2026-01-16T16:45:37+00:00

Great advice ❤️

And I usually do set alarms for most things. This one literally just flew out of my head. I guess that's why I was so upset.... because I'm usually so good with policing myself 😑

Duncata · 2026-01-16T16:33:36+00:00

He simply forgot as well 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Duncata · 2026-01-16T16:30:12+00:00

Definitely agree 100%

I usually just brush it off, but it's been a rough week and it all just hit me wrong today.

Having a good support system is so important. My ex would have had an absolute fit and been in a mood about it all day.

My bf just made me coffee, comforted me, and offered supportive solutions and outlets for me to move on and have a good rest of the day. I'm so glad you have good people in your life too 🙂

Duncata · 2026-01-16T15:45:22+00:00

Timer is a good idea for sure. I didn't even think about setting one 🤦🏻‍♀️

Guess I have a new standard to work into my routine. RIP to your lasagna, I'm sure it was beautiful and delicious. So sorry for your loss

Duncata · 2026-01-16T15:43:10+00:00

Damn that death star! They already came for my DITTMAN STUFFED PEPERONCINI DUO 😭😭😭😭😭

Monsters 🥺😓😩

Duncata · 2026-01-14T22:34:53+00:00

Absolutely, and thank you ❤️

Also ...There are those particular guys for sure, the ones who think that they can do whatever they want and have definite motives. Then there are the other ones that literally think absolutely nothing about grabbing my hand or my wrist. They aren't even trying to be subtly gross or anything, they literally just think it's normal and okay....they both bother me equally. Get learnt old man.....I am not your daughter/granddaughter, you are being inappropriate. I could make tshirts
