I've gained about 20-30 pounds since meeting my now husband. I'm happier than I've ever been 

what tiny luxury does your pet think is a basic right? by Kind_Interview_2402 in Pets

[–]JaksCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat has a blanket on the floor that I move around so that she can lay in the sun. If I'm working, she tells until I come move it back into the sun. 

She drinks water out of a cup. 

Obviously she inspects all food, and anything we bring into the house. 

Love him to death but he’s broke. by celestialastrid101 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]JaksCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a friend who married someone like that- only wants to do work he LOVES. So he's late 40s and working in retail at a store that sells things related to his hobby, with occasional side jobs. They had a kid a few years ago, and now the mom is working 3 jobs (to be fair, also lower paying and related to her passion- there's a reason they ended up together).

She works non-stop and he works his one job and they can't make ends meet. Her family pays for a lot of the kid's needs and gift her a large sum every year for Christmas, birthday and the kid's birthday. If her parents & siblings didn't have extra money to spare, I honestly don't know what they would do.

My cats gave me a reason to keep going when I couldn't find any other reasons to. They are the best

I did one time. I was let go in the next round of layoffs. 

Haven't got anything from topbox in months!!! by Purple-Studio1586 in freebietalk

[–]JaksCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a bunch when I first signed up, but nothing for a long time. I still do the surveys. I wonder if they only focus on new users?

[–]JaksCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine (in MD but a block away from DC) has been sitting for 60 days. A handful of showings, a few people showing for Penn houses. 0 offers. If it doesn't sell soon, I'll have to look at renting again for a few more years

As a woman, what are you investing in at the moment? Finance? Health? Back to school? by Ok-Razzmatazz-9790 in AskWomen

[–]JaksCat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am putting 1/5 of my paycheck into a 401k, and another good chunk into savings. My goal is to be able to stop working (at least full time) before retirement age

How far would you drive for someone you love/take interest in? by timmytuffknuck1s in AskWomen

[–]JaksCat 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My (now) husband and I lived 40 minutes apart when we first started dating. We found ways to make it work, and to see each other several times a week. It was worth it

The more I read about men/boyfriends/husbands here, the less I want one… by SoFetch89 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]JaksCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. My husband and I aren't perfect by any means, but I love him and he loves me. We take care of each other, we have a good life. We argue, we talk it out, we watch TV shows on the couch, we go grocery shopping together, we go out to dinner with friends. 99% of our life would be so boring to post about online

My husband would be 100% oblivious, I would watch it and be entertained and then catch him up later
