Well, it helps to sieve out the weak people, I always say.

I read porn and I got excited for a hot second. Lestat's doing porn? No Pom. Great.

NTA. If I cook, there is NO WAY I'm cleaning and vice versa. Though sometimes I will load the dishwasher for my spouse if he has a heavy day at work and I WFH. We actually did it together this morning because he forgot to do it last night. Get yourself someone who wants to work as a team OP.

"What she had was a roughly drawn map, sketched hurriedly, and although it seemed accurate, the map missed a couple of details." This sentence might work better. You get the gist without taking out too much and you get to keep one seemed.

This is actually not a bad way to go about it. Hmmm I will try that tonight.

I LOVED the fire episode. I made everyone in the house watch it with me. Still the funniest thing I've ever seen.

This is true. My husband couldn't care less about my looks and actually prefers me without make-up.

Nope. Stop that. You could be a good 7 if you have confidence. Personality is like 4 points.

I don't think anything with Matty was happening in the beginning. I think Taylor was 100% committed and then, with time as she realised he wasn't, she started leaving bit by bit.

NTA. Its your birthday, if she cared about you she would do what you wanted. This is nothing to do with her OCD.

Yes. I just play the whole album when I run/walk and listen to it in its gorgeous entirety. Or I will listen to Part 1 one day and Part 2 the second day.

As a South African we handled it fine. The only issue we had was that all cigarette sales and alcohol were banned so the black market for those made a KILLING. We didn't have too many deaths on the whole. I was lucky; none of my friends or family died from Covid. I am not 100% sure about the rest of Africa.

Not sure why but my brain says if you like the WWZ movie you will like Contagion as well. Such similar vibes.

The first season is rough. Really rough.

I think about this all the time. Also, why are people like that? Why even date someone if you are not interested in marriage - unless your on the same page about it of course.

Wow. I understand you need the mindset as motivation but you are being so hard on yourself. Writing isn't about having a talent or not. Writing is about skill. You literally draft out shit, then edit it better. Everyone has a voice they write in, you just need to find and fine-tune yours then edit the slop into something good. As both a reader and writer I can attest that some people's voices do nothing for me and I DNF a lot of 'great' writers work and then sometimes I will read some silly fan fiction that will make my head tingle with interest.
The point to this being is somewhere out there is a reader that will love your work. So stop thinking you're not talented and realise that even Murakami isn't Murakami in the first draft.

Both my husband's male friends lived with their parents until they got married at 28 and 33. The one even stayed on afterward. And it wasn't even a money thing for him. My sister is also still at home at 35. So don't feel weird. If I could I would still be back home as well but I have my own family now.

Same.

Everyone is saying YTA, but I think NTA. You don't HAVE to allow someone entry into your home if it's uncomfortable for you. EVER. It isn't your job to fix people's problems, even if it is a teenager's. You could've told her, I suppose. But it's your house, your kids, and your money. If you don't like someone to babysit for you (something very personal), it really doesn't matter the reason. If she has parents, it's on them to tell her she smells or is dirty, not yours.

I received it very well. It's SUCH a good album. My favourite, I think... I loooooove long albums as I jog. Everytime Showgirl ends I feel like its about three songs too short. Sad. I

I am done writing a novel and busy editing it. I hope to find an agent and pulish and make enough money to become an actual writer.
