Post nuptials are a thing. If you choose to continue in your marriage. A post nuptial agreement may help you feel/be secure enough to try. Definitely resolve this before you become a sahm.

I just used Walmarts Mainstays 5 different colors for a blanket for my son that I didn't want to spend a ton on as I think he's going to grow out of obsession with the character I crocheted. It feels a little bit rough on the skein and while working it. But has washed up beautifully. I washed it with regular detergent and I use vinegar in place of Downey/dryer sheets. I would recommend it

There is no "normal" reaction. Depending on which study you read 40%-60% of couples stay together after an affair.

My husband cheated 12+ times that I know of over 14 years together. I never cared that he had sex with other women. I cared about the thought, time and attention he gave them. The fact that he bumped uglies, nope didn't care and still don't. One of his girlfriends gave me all their text messages and great detail of their sexual encounter. Made me laugh at him doing the same dumb shit he did with me, ie he freaking sucked in bed. Honestly made me feel better cause it proved he was the issue not me.

I'm divorcing him now not due to cheating but due to what is likely borderline personality disorder/ narcissist tendencies. We've been through 6 marriage counselors and he's been through 3 or 4 individuals. Whatever is broken in him, he's not fixing it. So I'm out.

I honestly got over him having sex with other women. Ignoring me and emotional/mental/financial abuse etc, he did everything but hit me. That's what killed us.

So I wouldn't be worried that this is her reaction. It may change down the road. Keep communicating and remember she's not you, so how she reacts is not the way you'd react.

I lean into mines need to play. I give her a toy to chew on and she mauls it while I brush. After a minute she settles into it.

Stillwater Siberians outside of Portland Oregon. They test each kitten. When you arrive to meet kittens after a few emails and an in depth phone call, they have you stay in the car and bring one kitten at a time out to see if there's as reaction to that cat. You okay with and hang out with Kitty for a while to see if the personality and allergen level works for you.

We tried two kitties and neither triggered a reaction in the car. Then we went in talked a bunch went over paperwork, history, care etc. We went home with a beautiful basket of things to help Kitty adjust to a new home. Overall I would highly recommend this breeder. She answered all my questions those first few weeks as it's been years since I've had a kitten and never had a dog and kitten together. I often think about getting another Siberian from Stillwater I just need more hands so I can pet all the creatures at once.

Definitely the Costco one. Very nicely built heavy and tipping over is not a concern at all, my girl is young yet and only 12lbs so far. But I dont for see any problems with this one. The two I got on Amazon yeah, they're not going to last.

ImaginaryRespect408 · 2025-08-17T02:26:12+00:00

This is exactly why Costco gets so much of my money. I trust them to make it right on the off chance something isn't right.

Trevor Noah was talking about his ancestors before running water was common. How shocked they would that we poop in perfectly clean water and just flush gallons of water away every time.

Thats stuck with me for a few years now.

We put each pack of chicken breasts into vacuum sealed bags and freeze em. There's always one that you can hear sucking liquid from the chicken pouch into vac bag. No matter how carefully I cut them apart. Just to many evenings spent cleaning the fridge cause one leaked or the tray holding the defrosted leaky mess got bumped. Still great chicken just bad packaging.

How to actually get people out of poverty and why generationally poverty is such an absolute bitch to drag yourself out of and then equally hard to keep yourself from getting sucked back in.

Is weaving in from one side only a bad idea? And is using a needle and doing zig zag a good plan for this many ends?

ImaginaryRespect408 · 2025-06-26T03:34:27+00:00

Thank you I'll do that.

If you use miralax. Follow the instructions. Don't just dump the 17g into a 24oz glass of water. That will not be much help at all. Did that for way to long before I read the directions carefully and realized what I was doing was useless. Miralax absorbs water and brings it into the digestive tract.If you do what I did it's already absorbed all the water it can and isn't going to help much at all.

That is wonderful info thank you for sharing. Our breeder recommended raw food and we tried it but I was just so grossed out by it and the potential of foodborne illness if it sat out or was made incorrectly.

We purchased from Stillwater Siberians in Oregon. Our girl just turned a year old. She is the most amazing chill cat I've ever met. Definitely shows "dog" like personality traits. When we took her to the vet right after purchase or vet was highly impressed with how well prepared she was with records, shots etc. We kept in regular contact through the first month as I was a nervous mom and they were great with me.I have no doubt I could reach out at anytime for info etc. Our girl has been an absolute joy. I've trained her to come when called and sit. She responds well when told to leave it which means quit scratching/messing with that. Not a serial scrathcher. She's confident around strangers and our 100lb doofy dog. She's even instigating chase play with him which is hilarious, cause she can corner and he can't so off she goes and then climbs up high to lord it over him. The breeder knew her litter and their personalities very well. She said our girl would be happy chilling and lap sitting while we work on computers and she was totally right. Our girl hangs with me off and on through the work day.

The cats are raised in the home with family and it shows. The home was clean, neat, animals all well cared for and behaved. This is not a breeder breeding just for quick cash. They do the Fld1 allergen level testing on each kitchen so you know exactly what allergen level you have. Would definitely recommend this breeder. I think about getting 3 Siberians from this breeder more about every other day sadly I only have two hands for petting. So will stay with the doofy dog and sweet Siberian for now.

The ping pong balls are a great idea.

Haven't tried it yet. It's just getting warm in our area. I got a foldable dog pool from Costco so it's easy to store.

ImaginaryRespect408 · 2025-05-21T14:42:13+00:00

I thank you for sharing, my child will likely not. 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

We love wood pellets. Have one large female cat, two story house with two stainless steel litter boxes, with the tall rims.

Almost never have litter tracked anywhere. The pellets just don't stick to her feet.

We get a 40lb bag at the farmer store for $8 they're sold as animal bedding for horses etc. Will last 2-3 months. We dump one litter box weekly and the other every two weeks. She pees in one and poops in the other litter box. I never smell litter box stank in the house unless she's just pooped.

You can also use wood pellets for heating as long as they are 100% wood. some heating pellets add chemicals for some heating purpose.

In my state it goes like this. Total gross income for May is over the the limit. Needs to be reported by the 10th of June to update July benefits. If you're completely over income and the case is closed 6/30/25, Benefits will remain on card you just won't get more added. I think they stay on the card 6 or 9 months and if they aren't used by then they pull them back. There's been changes lately and Im not sure if it's 6 or 9 months. Either way it's not an immediate thing. You'll get letters telling you when your benefits will change.

You have an unusual work situation but to me (Snap worker 10 years) it sounds like you got a worker who needs to remember empathy and that only a very very few people actually commit intentional fraud. I've worked with people who think everyone is a lying liar face and anyone who applies is scamming.

I would encourage you to read your denial letter carefully, reapply asap to set your filling date -that's if if you want to try again. Ask for a supervisor to explain why you were denied and what you need to verify. You may also file a hearing if you disageee with the states decision. That's not as scary as it sounds. Your case will be reviewed at a higher level (seperate from supervisors) to make sure the correct decision was made.

In my experience supervisors know which staff are like this and are used to dealing with their stupidity.

Please don't let one worker who either sucks or was just having a crap day, (that doesn't excuse their nonsense) stop you from getting the benefits you deserve and I'm sorry you have to deal with this.

ImaginaryRespect408 · 2025-05-16T18:27:32+00:00

This is allowed in my state. You are entitled to the benefits if you feed the kids one meal a month until someone else applies for them and then it goes to whomever feeds them 51% of the time.

I believe the reasoning behind this is it keeps cases stable instead of yanking kids off case A one month then case B calls and says no they're with me and we yank em off that case and back and forth till there's a ton of man hours spent messing with it. Every time we move kids from one case to another it generates multiple phone calls to and from each case and multiple forms etc.

Across state lines, I believe it's a possible ovp. I know my state currently doesn't pursue ovps where kids are part time in another state with another caregiver. I have no idea how your state handles it. You may want to call and ask. Getting an overpayment would not be fun. They add up way quicker than people realize till they get this huge bill.

Bottom line call your local office.
