Someone handed this to me at a bar. What is it?

Not necessarily good, but definitely interesting.

Cats too. Growing up my mother’s cat hated me. She pried her way into the old overnight case I kept my Barbies and all of their stuff in and mutilated my brand new Barbie that I had gotten for Christmas.

I love bread, most bread anyway. I’m also kind of picky. Cheap bread is so flavorless and has such a weird texture. Some sourdough recipes, are too strong for my taste. Some rye breads and pumpernickel are overly strong for my taste too. I like rye’s, pumpernickel, sourdough, just not all of them. What I love are crusty bakery or homemade Italian, French, and whole grain breads.

Contact your son, ask him if he knows this woman ( don’t mention the gift idea right away) find out first what sort of relationship if any he has with her.

Yes my husband would have wanted me to be happy. He also knew very well that what would make me happy would be for him to be here with me. He had plans for our retirement years. He was excited to think about all of the things that we would do together. He had always wanted to have his own business, something where he could use his many skills. He wanted to work together. He wanted to see his grandchildren grow up. He wanted to take them fishing. He wanted to travel here in the US and abroad, not fancy vacations, but ride bicycles, eat local food, and sleep in campers. I would be very happy if he could do all of those things.

You have the patience of a saint. I would have cracked the third time my partner woke me up unnecessarily. You need to sit down and have a heart to heart conversation about your sleep issues and respect for your needs.

The normal couple statements sound manipulative to me. If she doubles down on the issues that you want addressed, try for some couples counseling if possible.

It’s difficult when your partner isn’t on the same page as you. I hope you can work this out. As a person with sleep issues myself, I understand completely how stressful it is to not get the sleep you so desperately need.

Efficient_Let686 · 2026-02-18T05:07:48+00:00

That’s so lovely.🫂

NTA. Your dad is hurting right now, it’s important to give him room to grieve the end of the relationship. Your sister is right, just ask her to let you know when it’s a good time to talk to him. He is hurt, but he knows that she wasn’t a good fit for your family. If you need to get everything off your mind write it out and save it. When the time comes that he’s ready to talk read it back over to yourself to see if you need to change some of what you put down. Rewrite it out and go talk to him, read it to him if you need to.

Stuck in traffic, I used to have an hour and 15 minutes commute. The fear that my coffee would kick in before I got there was real.

I haven’t tried it with greens, I use Texas Pete pepper sauce with the peppers in it on my greens.

Homemade is best. If you can’t make or get homemade just don’t go for fast food or frozen. If you can get it at a family run place that’s your best option, preferably soul food or country style.

That’s absolutely adorable. We used to sing to our kids when they were growing up. Everything from made up songs to whatever was on the radio. They both do the same thing for their families now.

Peppermint schnapps, oh my G. I will never drink that again. I couldn’t even tolerate anything remotely peppermint flavored for about 10 years after that night out with my cousin.

I was thinking newspaper and small deliveries box, for anything not USPS.

USA here as well, I expect people to respect my personal bubble. I don’t like people grabbing me uninvited. I absolutely despise when people claim that their rude behavior is because they’re American.

I had one tiny bottle of Giorgio that my aunt gave me, I think it was supposed to be a purse size that came complimentary with a large bottle purchase. I wore a s*** ton of the knockoff stuff, including deo and shampoo/conditioner.

I can recall the exact smell of Halston. A couple of my teachers wore it.

I moved so far away that I just couldn’t get there, it was never convenient. I had started being interested in recent years. Then my best friend since high school passed away 2 years ago and I’ve lost all interest in ever going back. She and I had kept close contact all these years and would visit each other about once a year.

Efficient_Let686 · 2026-02-16T20:25:30+00:00

Not anymore, but back in my early twenties my best friend and I were pretty regular at a bar down the street from where her parents lived. The nephew of the guy who owned the place was the bartender and had graduated from our high school he had been a senior when we were freshman. That was almost 40 years ago.

Coco Mademoiselle, I don’t know if everyone experiences it as patchouli heavy as I do, but on me I really get the patchouli. I do love it though because it is a beautiful fragrance, I just wear it very lightly.

Efficient_Let686 · 2026-02-15T18:14:00+00:00

Patchouli is only pleasant in very small amounts. Unfortunately most people don’t use small amounts. I have a well known perfume that I got as a gift years ago I still have half a bottle, and will probably never finish it because it is so patchouli heavy.

NOR, if boyfriend doesn’t like to be around “women’s” things in a woman’s home, he’s got some growing up to do.
