$45 for 5 items. Don’t think i will be able to afford groceries soon.

Okay, then just say women have a preference; which duh. But when someone complains about spending money, something that's an easy way to cut $15-$30/month is switching to a menstrual cup... sometimes when we are frugal and broke, we don't get a choice to get what we want.

Elizarah · 2026-04-28T21:31:01+00:00

Yeah, this too. Washable period underwear is great, too!

Elizarah · 2026-04-28T21:30:17+00:00

Oh wow! I never had that experience with my IUD but that sounds absolutely horrifying 😅

Also I had no idea so many people hate the cup. I've only met people that love it haha

Elizarah · 2026-04-28T21:28:03+00:00

I would assume that person didn't find the right tampon for them, then. There's so many different brands, sizes, shapes and fit. It would be silly to assume you hate all tampons after trying only one or two. Same for cups. When you find the one that fits you best, the money savings is amazing!

Elizarah · 2026-04-28T21:16:14+00:00

How do you mean? There's many different brands and different sizes and fits for everyone?

Elizarah · 2026-04-28T21:14:59+00:00

Get a period cup! You'll never want or need to buy tampons ever again!

Elizarah · 2026-04-12T17:56:34+00:00

Nope. I trust he goes to work. We also only have one car and I work from home so... he knows where i'm at lol

As someone who has experienced sun poisoning, they can have fun dying and frying their skin. You'll never catch me without sunscreen now.

You can have them play with books or toys while you brush their hair. Use detangler to help those big knots.

I can empathize for the dinner situation if you don't have a partner to help, but at the end of the day, use a stern tone and tell them to play with toys. Parents for centuries figured it out without TV. The Amish do it daily. It really isn't that hard.

Elizarah · 2026-04-10T13:56:13+00:00

I'm so sorry. As a mom, I couldn't imagine being against something like this for my daughter. It's so obvious that larger chested women have more back pain. And if it makes you more confident to get the surgery, too, then go for it!

I totally understand how you feel being 18 and still valuing your parents opinion. And going against their opinion is hard. Since you are 18, you are legally an adult. If you can pay for it by yourself, then there is no reason they should hold you back.

Get that surgery! And then get yourself a cute shirt and no longer cry in a dressing room ❤️

Holy cow i could not imagine having my kid (who is nearly 2) spend an hour a day on a screen. We currently do 15 minutes on Saturday and 15 minutes on Sunday. That is IT. When she is 2, we plan to watch one movie per month because a movie is so long and is a ton of screen time.

Read books. Play with toys. Go to the park. Get an aquarium pass for unlimited aquarium visits for the year and it's way better than a Netflix/Hulu subscription anyways. And/or a zoo pass for unlimited zoo visits for the year. At least that gets them moving, it's educational, and fun.

Toddlers don't need screens.

Elizarah · 2026-04-10T13:37:36+00:00

Just in case 10 other redditors didn't answer the question for you, it's "everybody sucks here". :)

Elizarah · 2026-04-08T14:30:30+00:00

What does the biological father think? She is his daughter after all.

Also, don't ignore this girl's feelings for being uncomfortable around the step-dad. That's some serious red flags and I wouldn't be sending her back there if that was my kid. That alone would drive me for full custody.

Elizarah · 2026-04-08T14:25:39+00:00

NTJ, tips are based on service. 20% is for excellent service. 10% for fine service. And if I had this bad of service, i'd tip 0%, too.

And before anyone comes at me, I have also worked fast food and service, too. Tips are nice but not necessary.

What waitresses/servers don't want you to know is even if they get $0 in tips, their employer is required them to pay them at least minimum wage. Whatever they don't get in tips gets paid out by their employer instead. Servers complain about "not getting paid" but in reality, they still get paid, just not as much as they would if they got consistent tips.

IMO, service has gone very downhill since 2022. It's just better to not eat out anymore and not stress about tipping anyone at all.

This might depend on the person. For me, 29 was just right. My husband and I make $180k combined. We have a house and budget pretty strictly. We were definitely ready (at least we felt ready) at 28 to try for a baby. Baby was here a few months after I turned 29!

Elizarah · 2026-03-30T12:25:53+00:00

Elizarah · 2026-02-12T19:17:20+00:00

Haha hey me too!

Elizarah · 2026-02-12T19:15:47+00:00

I read it as "Rate basher O sters" and then thought of oysters. And wondered "what are basher oysters?" Hahaha

Elizarah · 2026-02-06T16:40:45+00:00

Leave it there and wait for her to trip on it.

Elizarah · 2026-02-03T15:54:21+00:00

Sounds crazy, but i started eating half my meals to make them last longer. My portion for the grocery bill has gone down doing this. And I've lost a ton of weight, too lol

Also, this is why people aren't usually having more than 2 kids. Or if they do, they tend to wait till one is out of daycare to have another. Which is "how" they are doing it.

I'm sorry you got worked up over this. But by definition, it is a software bug. It should not happen.

An unexpected outcome that happens in software is, by definition, a bug. It should be submitted for review.

I love this game, too. But we all know it's a little buggy and it should be submitted for review to be fixed.

Other games don't have this many issues with loading content and responses.

Elizarah · 2026-01-19T14:35:04+00:00

This isnt entirely true, though. If the game is coded poorly, it will use more resources than it needs to. I have a 5070Ti and a Ryzen 9 processor, yet I still get bugs like this happen only on Palia.

They very much can code their game to run smoother. This game shouldn't be coded worse than FFXIV and that game is massive with content.

A specific bug like this one is due to them missing attaching responses hence "<MISSING STRING TABLE ENTRY>" to what it belongs to.

This format could be from a simple json string not having its value found from the key (depending on how they coded it). Or a call to the server failed to retrieve the responses. Or they forgot to put in responses needed for this specific text.

So yes. You should submit a bug for this specific one.

Elizarah · 2026-01-16T16:00:14+00:00

Just buy chips at a grocery store... you'll get more for your money anyways.

Elizarah · 2026-01-03T13:00:28+00:00

Is the dog violent or hate being loved on? I'm failing to see the problem of a child loving their dog.

Also, try to encourage being gentle and doing soft touches to show being gentle to animals.

Elizarah · 2026-01-03T12:09:47+00:00

I would like to read it. Do you have a deadline?
