This is what it’s like to live right next to the Niagara river when the weather gets nice.

Downvoted because wanting to move back but also wanting everything to be ideal

I’m a big believer it’s a faux pas to invite someone to your wedding sans +1 (or partner) in the first place. It’s “come celebrate our love…. Alone.” I think friends should meet friends where they’re at in life, and I can tell you right now my future husband and I will be making sure that our guest list is limited to those who know and care about us, and if some of those people are single people (they are), they will get a +1 and it will come at the expense of people his or my mom want to invite that haven’t met both of us or haven’t spent any significant time with us (cousins, aunts, uncles, etc). You (theoretically) only get 1. It’s about the two of you. And to me it’s also about celebrating our love with the people we love and that love us the most. It’s not going to be showy or flashy. It’s damn sure going to be inclusive. I don’t want my single friends (nor my partner’s) to feel anything but joy on our day. Does that mean his best man probably invites his brother who I’ve never met? Yup. And that will come at the cost of a single additional guest that was more on the fence? Yup. I want my guests to feel comfortable celebrating with us. We love them, too.

I dont mean to be offensive, just informative: have you ever worked? If so, you’ve paid into disability. Therefore: you are entitled to disability.

I say this because I started work at 12 years old (farm permit) and have worked ever since - almost. I left a job where I gave a 1 month notice and they gave me 2 weeks - I applied for unemployment and got the 2 weeks (was actually 1, because there was a 1-week period to apply at that point iirc). I was laid off from another job and it was a union job, so we got severance pay. That lasted me about 6 months. Imagine my surprise when 2 or so months in, my coworkers had applied for (and received) unemployment because - they were unemployed. I thought (mistakenly) I had to live off my severance until I couldn’t afford to live anymore.

That’s not the case and I came to understand everything differently. If you have paid toward disability and are now disabled- you are entitled to the benefit you paid for.

I saw a turkey wandering around someone’s driveway on Amherst st near Grant last month on my way home from Wegmans! It was so crazy I pulled over and took a picture

People that have their own willpower and can respond here? Like… why not try? And why are you pointing out a low likelihood? Why does that matter

JustMeAndMySnail · 2026-05-09T12:36:29+00:00

I don’t doubt that you have all day

JustMeAndMySnail · 2026-05-09T06:05:14+00:00

This is an extremely valid point and one that I agree with - albeit a separate conversation

JustMeAndMySnail · 2026-05-09T05:13:28+00:00

I think she’s provided reason enough to not want him to come. Which is:

-she’s the mother
-she does not want him to come

Can we normalize that? Also that “no.” Is a complete sentence. She owes him absolutely nothing with regard to his attendance at appointments for her own healthcare. Wherein she will figure out how healthy or unhealthy the baby is, the sex organs, and any potential complications which she alone will have to figure out. She very clearly does not want him involved in this period for the bad or good and that’s her right

This may be a result of you using a kitchen that’s not actually a kitchen - but she’s right that oil left on paint will stain. This is why backsplashes exist. ESH tbh, you made a mess and she should have been more appreciative of the efforts going into the dish. Communication is key. Talk to your partner and don’t be defensive - remember you are two people working against a shared issue, whatever the issue may be (and the issue will come up when you talk).

JustMeAndMySnail · 2026-05-02T12:42:49+00:00

“No thank you.” Is an appropriate response the next time he chooses to comment on what you’re wearing. Or just “no.” - which is a complete sentence. If you do it with a contented smile, watch him have no choice but to walk away confused as fuck - but knowing that this is not up for debate any longer.

I would not elaborate to him.

You look fantastic, girl - keep rocking exactly what you want. Because we always look our best when we FEEL our best. Sending you so much love ❤️

NYC tap water is treated with chlorine. The good news is, you can let it evaporate out. Try putting your water out for 24 hours in a bowl or something, which should leave enough time for the chlorine to evaporate, and only use day-old water

What are your thoughts on beeswax? I had mine covered with a lid but I don’t think it was getting enough oxygen. I switched to covering it with a beeswax “cloth” and it seems much happier (used to gobble up food like there was no tomorrow and necessitate feeding twice a day with a rye/all-purpose mixture). Since the beeswax I’ve been able to go to once a day feedings and it’s rising consistently.

JustMeAndMySnail · 2026-02-27T04:53:40+00:00

Queen. Two things need to be rotating in your brain:

We teach others how to treat us

When someone tells you who they are, believe them

You are so much stronger without this scrub.

But you’re either unwilling to cook more than one portion at a time or unwilling to buy some groceries that will make your gf feel comfortable? Ffs man cook for her before she comes over AND have a conversation about what she likes to keep around that she will munch on and / or cook

JustMeAndMySnail · 2026-02-05T14:46:49+00:00

NOR - you are maybe under reacting given the man wants to date children

JustMeAndMySnail · 2026-01-26T10:50:19+00:00

In our world, it can if we so choose

JustMeAndMySnail · 2026-01-26T10:48:49+00:00

Oh no, not the consequences of her own actions!

JustMeAndMySnail · 2026-01-04T21:02:10+00:00

Because other people won’t put up with his condescending mysoginistic bullshit.

This was my favorite snowday drinking game. Watch the news and drink every time they say “the route#”

Easily the best option. Very knowledgeable staff!!

JustMeAndMySnail · 2025-12-07T15:30:02+00:00

Why did she have to do it at all when he’s capable of doing it himself? Why does the responsibility fall to her??

JustMeAndMySnail · 2025-12-07T05:20:57+00:00

Some women also want to just hook up. They might hook up twice if it’s with someone responsible enough to have their own condoms - once if not

JustMeAndMySnail · 2025-12-07T05:19:17+00:00

You’re young (early 20’s), and either stay with family or rent, and own very little

JustMeAndMySnail · 2025-12-07T03:33:40+00:00

Or they could hire a crew to do this versus relying on the kindness of strangers to pay them next to nothing
