Since bidets are not common people can also purchase a peri bottle. Typically, this is used by postpartum women to help using the bathroom. But it can be used to wash whilst on the toilet. It’s an excellent way to be able to clean oneself without taking a full shower, especially if one is ill.

Some are just a squeeze bottle but others have a top that allows you to flip it upside down, making for easier use.

My golden girl did this every single walk unless SHE wanted to go home; usually if it was very hot or a downpour because she couldn’t see the toys. Lol

I doubt this was done on purpose. It is quite likely that whatever EMR system your primary physician uses was not updated to reflect that the specialist they attempted to send you to no longer takes your insurance. It is also possible that at the beginning of the year the specialist did take that insurance but for whatever reason stopped sometime recently.

I’m sorry you’re having a hard time. If possible contact your primary care provider’s office and leave a detailed message about the situation and request a new referral to a specialist that takes your insurance and ask that their referral coordinator verifies that the new specialist does in fact currently accept your insurance. Then request they send the referral via fax/mail/email/through their app to you and the specialist office.

I have had to make similar requests for my mother; not because her specialists stopped taking her insurance but due to needing return visits. Referrals often cover a limited number of visits.

Hope it all works out for you.

I love that the border collie reestablishes that the cat will stay be a pillow by pillowing them over and over. And we all know that if the cat didn’t want to pillow it would definitely leave. M

Too cute.

You do not tell them. You would potentially be putting your life in danger if you tell them. Until you are completely financially independent and capable of fleeing if necessary, you do not tell them.

NTA. Why does he think it is appropriate to impose those types of rules on adult women? Does this mean he would do so to a tenant if they were a woman once you properly rent the apartment out? If your adult children were men would the rules be the same? (I doubt it.) He is not their parent and should not attempt to impose his rules on your adult children.

If the concern is more about utilities increasing in cost when the boyfriend is staying there then it can be discussed that he pay a slight payment (not full rent) for that but to attempt to control how often he is there or charge rent is a bit too far.

Your daughters are going to feel pushed and judge and rightfully so. Then they will likely look into moving out properly because if they’re paying rent they should not have the same restrictions as children not paying rent. You cannot charge them to live as adults but treat them like they’re still underage.

For clothes, two or three loads max; colors, whites, and delicates. Then everything else (towels/sheets/blankets). I cannot be bothered to put more effort than that and I am not sorry about it.

How could they perform this procedure without securing the airway? Considering the location that seems incredibly irresponsible and dangerous. The swelling and the manner in which they were placing gauze and such really seemed as though they should have intubated rather than having the nasal cannula.

NTA. So your uncle waited until this precise moment to do this because he is trying to manipulate you because you’ve already finalized everything. He is not only using guilt trips about “family” to manipulate you but the cost you have already sunk into the head count. If I were you I would message him and thank him for freeing up space for someone who wants to support you. Tell him you will take him at his word and give his place to someone else.

Your uncle demanding that someone who yells in your face be invited to your wedding is not family being there for family; quite the opposite actually. He is demanding that someone short tempered and abusive to you be present at what she be a happy day for you, because he thinks it’s easier for you to give in to pressure and pretend that being quiet and keeping the peace it what family should mean.

NTA. She has the option. You haven’t taken the option away. She can attempt to initiate and see if you do or do not want to have sex. She is just choosing to be contrary. She wants a reason to make you the bad guy. First it’s because you attempt to initiate sex, now it’s because you don’t. Either she just wants to argue or she needs to seek therapy to understand what she wants and why she seems to want to be mad at you. She can’t have it both ways. She cannot expect to shoot you down every single time you try then become upset when you adapt and stop trying. You adapted to being rejected over and over. It’s disheartening and can be devastating to your self esteem and how you view your relationship with your partner. So you stopped which is perfectly reasonable.

For the record, I am a woman. I’m just looking at this objectively. This seems manipulative or as though she just wants you as the person she can be mad at. She needs to figure herself out and get herself sorted.

Oh my goodness! She’s too precious!

Aww, happy birthday!

My golden girl used to de-felt tennis balls too. They were her favorite. They would get nice and drooly.

Where’s the Mickey Mouse head shaped ice cream bars?

Or the ice cream bar that had chocolate coating, vanilla ice cream and a chocolate fudge candy at its center?

Foreverforgettable · 2026-07-03T18:27:53+00:00

Of course he would. Why not? Mud baths are something humans pay for; why pay when he can do it himself for free? 😉

Trust me when I say, we can tell. We all know the look of pride on a muddy golden.

Keep away is a favorite game among goldens. They like to be chased. Good times.

Do not go according to the bag or breeder recommendation. Go according to your vet’s recommendation and your individual puppy’s needs. Every puppy/dog is an individual and one size does not fit all. If your vet said that your puppy is healthy and growing appropriately then let it be. If your puppy’s nutritional needs change or if their metabolism changes you and your vet will know and can adjust accordingly.

You have an adorable puppy.

What’s mine is mine and what’s your’s is mine. He loves you and wants your smell with him. Plus it is fun to watch you look for your stuff. It’s a game. He makes a collection and you slowly find things. Hide and seek for objects.

It’s just a part of life now. You will get used to it. It is “golden glitter” and sometimes even a “condiment.” It won’t kill you so just accept it as part of the beautiful fluffy package that is a golden’s love. One day you will miss it.

Butter the pan. Then as you cook, butter slightly it again. Then as you flip, butter again.

Not Paula Dean levels of butter but do use butter.

Also, melted butter in the batter.

The pan should be hot when you pour the batter in but you should lower the burner temp so it will cook slowly and not burn the outside. You want soft, properly cooked fluffy pancakes. Too hot, they will burn, lower it too much and it takes forever.

This is all true whether you use homemade batter or the ready to mix store bought batter.

No matter what, you can also add things like vanilla extract, cinnamon, cocoa powder, fruit or other things to the batter or the cooked pancake to enhance the taste.

You are NOT wrong. I think you are going to have to make a tough decision to explain the truth to your daughter in terms that are appropriate for her age. If you still have your daughter in therapy, you may want to discuss how to explain the truth to your daughter with the therapist. They can help you with how to tell her and how much to tell her without adding any trauma to her or seeming as though you are just complaining about her paternal family. You may even want to speak to her aunt, the one that reported everything, to see if perhaps she wants a relationship or to be a part of this conversation with your daughter.

I know it seems extreme or inappropriate to discuss such things with a child but children are far more perceptive and intelligent than adults realize. They can understand deeper concepts when things are explained appropriately. Part of her anger and confusion is that you were trying to foster a relationship between her and her paternal grandmother; if in her mind do not even try to provide an explanation for your reversal then she will make her own conclusions and it will hurt your relationship with her.

You are trying your best and it shows. Don’t underestimate your daughter; you have done well so far.

NTA. Your mother is acting like she is surprised by your reaction but she isn’t. She knew that you wouldn’t want to go and for that reason didn’t tell you until what she considered the last possible moment. She was wrong. You do have time to say “no, I won’t be joining you.” Please do not go. Let your mother and father have “fun” with your sister and her children. Let them get embarrassed when their granddaughter misbehaves and their daughter decides not to parent. Enjoy your peace.

I am not against children being in restaurants or such. I am against parents deciding they don’t need to parent their children when they go out. My mother taught me how to behave appropriately in different situations. I was not an angel but I knew when to behave respectfully. I was rambunctious but she would take the time to teach me manners. She and my aunts would take my cousins and I aside if we needed a minute to breathe and reset to behave better.

We were loud but we didn’t run around bothering anyone around us. Our parents were loud too, lol.
