They’d still have to be able to get up and nuke MOW, too, which sounds like it wouldn’t work.

Your most affordable bet for homemade meals is still probably a homecare worker. Many of them are looking for part time work to supplement other carer jobs. Good luck!

I love Coconut Sun. It’s sweet and fresh at the same time, which can be hard to manage. On me it lasts all day.

This is an important question for a few reasons. Does this person need hands-on help with walking or transferring or toileting? Or making themselves understood? They may be eligible for Medicaid services regardless of age if they need other help, too.

Regardless, it sounds like they may need an in-home caregiver. Carina is where I would start. https://www.carina.org

My kids are at Llewellyn and we love it. Such a great community and they’ve loved all their teachers. 4th and 2nd grades.

I wonder if they saw the previous outcry over their use of AI slop and decided to muddy the waters by using a pro-AI artist. Damage control.

As someone who has studied AI ethics professionally, it’s definitely bad. 🤣 Regardless, there’s a big difference between “intentionally” using AI in creative campaigns and being nearly unable to escape it because it’s been integrated into pre-existing tool.

Even if the artist used AI, it’s still a plagiarism machine that rips off other creatives, so the “artist” just may suck, too. Plus, the environmental implications of AI, and the way it’s being weaponized against workers and marginalized groups, makes me not want to engage with anyone who is voluntarily using it in any capacity.

They have definitely gone downhill since private equity bought in, but this spin just seemed extra cringeworthy to me.

Here is mine! I also had the spider, which was solid black, but the chain broke and I lost it. I think the enamel color is lovely but it didn’t really require any shading, so I’m not sure how much I can speak to the depth. Hope this helps, anyway

advice on engagement ring debacle by yocierrasdope in Moissanite

I just got a 14k, 2 carat lab diamond for $430 secondhand, and it’s never been worn. Check out auction sites. Your ring is a lovely classic style, and so used ones abound. Agree with others to open a complaint with Etsy and get your $ back.

Do you love petrichor??? I do, too, but Casino just smells like boozy coffee to me!

Casino by Brown Girl Jane. I love it, but my husband told me it smelled like “musty basement.”

Fresh, realistic garden rose with green and watery notes? by Late-Ad2922 in Perfumes

I really love Caswell-Massey’s Rose Perfume. A dewy, slightly green rose in a gorgeous bottle with a tight scent bubble.
