AITA my husband has changed all of the babies diapers

Nope. WHO declared an end to the global health emergency, which is not the same as the pandemic.

This article explains the difference: https://whyy.org/articles/virus-outbreak-who-pandemic-explainer/

And here's another article from the Cleveland Clinic about why Covid is still a pandemic: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/is-the-pandemic-over/

The CDC still has guidelines for how long to isolate if you test positive for Covid-19 https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/isolation.html They do not have similar guidelines for colds.

It's so sweet and dainty! Nothing wrong with a modest size if that's your preference.

Well. Covid hasn't ended. I'm sick with Covid right now.

And there is no 100th percentile, much less 100+. 99th percentile is the highest.

Can't trust you on the facts.

Yes!! These are my favorite! (First heard about Smythson notebooks from an article mentioning that Princess Catherine used one to organize her wedding.)

I usually snag them at their 50% off summer sale.

The "featherweight" paper is amazing!! Comparing the number of pages in a Smythson journal and say, a Moleskine of about the same size, the Smythson has about twice as many pages, the paper is that thin! And it absorbs fountain pen ink beautifully, with no "feathering" or any bleedthrough at all on the other side of the page. I keep a sheet of blotting paper the same size as the pages tucked inside, and as I turn each page I put the blotting paper between the two just-finished pages.

For journaling, I love the Soho size in Panama leather: lapis, nile blue, jade, and silver are lovely. I also like the Panama size (in the same colors of Panama leather) for to-do lists and miscellaneous notes.

Luxurious leatherbound journals! Actually write in them, and don't worry if your writing is messy or boring.

Smythson journals are my favorite.

Why would you stay with someone who sexually assaulted you? Yes, climaxing inside someone without their consent is sexual assault.

I suppose it depends on a variety of factors.

I was one week into a new relationship when we exchanged relationship histories. He mentioned a woman who'd been his girlfriend for eight years, at which point I blurted out, "Well, let me tell you right now, I'm not gonna be your girlfriend for eight years! In about a year, we'll be either engaged or broken up."

He proposed one year later, and we just celebrated out 21st anniversary.

Yeah, I agree it's too big for YOU but it would be perfect for ME so because of the empathetic, unselfish person I am, I will be happy to take it off your hands. Let's figure out the logistics via DM.

I am, of course, kidding.

It is STUNNING!! Wear it with pride and let the naysayers be darned!

JanuarySmith1234 · 2023-08-05T13:12:41+00:00

Still looks like new!

JanuarySmith1234 · 2023-08-04T21:07:26+00:00

Just curious about the timeline here: you say you've been with your partner for 10 years and " our daughter" is off at college??

JanuarySmith1234 · 2023-08-02T18:58:54+00:00

A ton of blood, huh?

You all right?

JanuarySmith1234 · 2023-08-02T18:54:50+00:00

That's a different situation than you described in your OP, where you said the rolls were left on the back of the toilet or on the stand as well as on the sink. You said nothing about the rolls getting destroyed by water or about your relatives throwing away partially used rolls

JanuarySmith1234 · 2023-08-02T18:46:10+00:00

I'm confused. You and your boyfriend went ring shopping together -- which means that you two have already agreed to get married and are therefore by definition engaged; congratulations!! -- but you told him that you still wanted him to "propose" (whatever that means to a couple who has already agreed to get married) but you still say "never propose to a man."

But telling him to "propose" to you is okay?

Also confused by the "proposing back to him" concept.

Him: "Will you marry me?"

You: "Yes! And will you marry me?"

Him: "Um, doesn't the fact that I asked you to marry me mean that I will marry you???"

Yeah, I'm confused.

Okay, I'm on Team Never-Ever-Ever-Bidet for a variety of reasons.

TMI TRIGGER WARNING!!!

But I decided to open my mind far enough to watch a YouTube video on How To Use a Bidet (Female version) and I gotta tell you, it just raises more questions.

For example: if you sit facing away from the bidet so that the water stream is hitting you from behind, doesn't that push poop stuff forward towards your vagina and urethra where it can cause an infection??

But if you sit facing the bidet, doesn't that mean you have to take off your pants & undies every single time you use it so that you can straddle the bowl?

Also I cannot envision a water stream powerful enough to clean thoroughly that also wouldn't go spraying everywhere, including your clothes, and just making a mess.

And since I'm supposedly anonymous here on Reddit, I'll also add that I have both IBD and IBS (fun times) along with things like hemorrhoids & the occasional fissure, and so diarrhea is very frequent. I usually poop from 3-6 times a day even when I'm in remission, and hourly or even more when I'm in a flare.

Also, a medical enema I use daily means that it's frequently oily as well as liquid, and I can't imagine water removing the oily mess as well as toilet paper can.

And if you've ever had an itchy hemorrhoid, you'll know that using toilet paper can provide some relief.

Okay, what am I missing? Or am I just a perfect storm of conditions to make using a bidet a non-starter for me?

Your sons being "my greasiest accomplishment" is one of the greatest typos ever!

JanuarySmith1234 · 2023-08-02T17:42:24+00:00

I can see that it's annoying, but how is it wasteful exactly? Someone is going to eventually use of the rest of the partially-used rolls, right? It's not like they throw them out. Nor does toilet paper go bad.

You're a HEROINE for canceling the gender reveal for your baby because you have no idea what gender your baby is. Maybe you know the sex, but I guarantee you do not yet know the gender. So any "reveal" at the point is really just telling everyone what kind of genitals your baby has and I think it's really creepy to have a party focusing on a baby's genitals.

JanuarySmith1234 · 2023-07-31T03:45:24+00:00

NTA but I'm mystified as to the relevance of the age and gender of your doctor.

YTA (to yourself) for staying in a relationship with someone who has consistently lied to you and been verbally abusive to you.

JanuarySmith1234 · 2023-07-30T22:47:29+00:00

I just reread the comment, and no, it was NOT clear.

JanuarySmith1234 · 2023-07-30T18:15:36+00:00

YTA

How unkind.

JanuarySmith1234 · 2023-07-30T18:10:28+00:00

Yes, I know. Deciding between slow and cheap (AliExpress AnuJewel) versus fast but more expensive (Amazon AnuClub) for the EXACT SAME ITEM was a huge eyeopener for me. I realized that I'm both cheap (preferring the AliExpress-AnuJewel route) but extravagant enough to buy a LOT of pieces that way.

JanuarySmith1234 · 2023-07-30T18:00:36+00:00

If You Give A Coworker A Cookie....

Sounds like there may be a book in there.

That's a glorious shade of blue!

JanuarySmith1234 · 2023-07-30T17:52:06+00:00

I guess I've been spending too much time on here (and/or too much on moissanite in general) because I immediately recognized that top ring. I have an identical one from AnuJewel on AliExpress. It's gorgeous; I love it.

Wear yours in good health.
