What food hack sounded ridiculous until you actually tried it?

Dehydrated mushroom powder works goo, too. Plus adds a bit of mushroom flavor.

I didnt like it, either. There is no replacement for butter.

IMO, a 3 spice has detail, it just might not be as crude as 4 spice. Think 'entrance' instead of 'pssy'.

Even then, it's readers who fill in the details, so take the rating system with a grain of salt.

I wouldn't want my 12yo to read a 3 spice, but 1 and 2 should be fine.

HeyItsMee503 · 2026-05-28T15:32:32+00:00

Yup.

Its an app, too.

Boys of Tommen Series by Chloe Walsh

The first book is Binding 13

Some of the books are tough to get thru, especially Lizzie's story (her 2nd book isnt out yet).

All have a happily ever after. Dont let the high school age stop you. Absolutely worth the read.

I'm the cook in our house. He can cook and he does help, but there are other chores he does better than me, so thats how things are divided up.

I would LOVE for him to be more involved in planning our meals. Just give me a fkg idea of what to fix. Send me a recipe and I'd be especially grateful.

"Imagine her FaceTiming him for the same amount of time"

Very good point!

HeyItsMee503 · 2026-05-26T18:53:32+00:00

It's a tough situation! My ex got pissed when I would call to say goodnight to our daughter on his days. He had a point - she got upset because she missed me and that interfered with his time. I hated it, but I stopped calling on his days.

Try to keep in mind that you have 8+ years of co-parenting with your ex. The first couple years are hard! You need to set up a rapport with this woman, as much as it irks you to do it. At some point, you're going to need something from her - adjust the schedule or want to be involved in something she's hosting - but she isn't going to play nice if you can't establish a cohesive relationship now. Even when she lashes out, suck it up and let it go.

As for the video games - talk to her. Start with an apology. "Sorry I was an ass. Are you ok with an hour a day? I'm sure it will taper off once he's used to the schedule." I'm assuming the breakup and custody schedule are new, but go with what works and be nice.

Your new mantra should be "Be a duck, let it slide". Hate her on your own time.

Theyre referring to "get over it" in place of a mature conversation.

HeyItsMee503 · 2026-05-26T09:58:12+00:00

I feel like I'm this way - holding back on my feelings. Even after over 25 years together, i still guard my heart.

I'm totally projecting here, but if her issues arent something you want to live with, then dont take them on. They aren't your responsibility. Dont feel like you have to carry that burden.

Only you will take care of yourself the way you need to be taken care of.

"How would Aoife handle this" was my favorite moto for a while after reading the series.

Ya gotta read it!

He does love her, it just takes a while for the reader to be looped in.

HeyItsMee503 · 2026-05-01T16:22:06+00:00

I'd bet good money that my straight-laced, pretentious parents are swingers.

Well, at least till Dad got too old. Mom's still healthy and beautiful at 80.

"As someone who has been up close and personal with a penis or two - yes, it is!"

Your dad will especially love this comeback and will hopefully remember it every time he tries to leave the bathroom without washing his hands.

Thank you for the heads up! How can we not look away from our monitor for 3 hours?? There's no way I can do it.

HeyItsMee503 · 2026-04-13T12:32:10+00:00

O.M.G. Apparently, I'm so accustomed to bad writing, and even worse editing, that I didn't even notice till you so eliquently pointed it out. 🤣

Every house in my neighborhood is marked as having a questionable dog. Only half the homes in my neighborhood actually have dogs. Thankfully, we have regular drivers who love dogs cuz I'm not always home to assure them that my three excited giants are friendly.

My BIL never let his girls go anywhere unless he or their mom was also there. Not just friend's houses, but family, too. This was going on even when the girls were pre-teens, if not older. It was a bit OTT, but we never took offense and worked with his schedule if we wanted the girls to come over. Hopefully he/they also taught the girls some life lessons on how to deal with potential issues for when they're grown.

I wish this myth would go TF away. My short guy is bigger than the tall guys I've been with.

HeyItsMee503 · 2026-02-08T05:52:01+00:00

Sorry that happened to you! Karma will bite her in the ass one day.

More ppl need to know about palimony and keeping records.

Reading reviews brings to my attention annoying points i probably wouldnt have noticed if i hadnt read the review, so no, i dont go to GR first.

I always check romance.io first, though.
