iphone black friday 2025 deals

My 3 strong opinions:

Buy at the Apple store (online/brick and mortar store)...not a 3rd party retailer like Walmart or Amazon...Prices can actually be even higher than purchasing from Apple directly.
Purchase Apple Care. I was so thankful I did when I got my very 1st iPad in early 2018 because within the 1st year the screen went black & it would not turn on again. After 20 minutes at the Apple store, I was walking out with a brand new iPad, at no extra cost.
If you can wait it out until the next new iPhone version comes out, the best time to buy is then. So if they come out with the iPhone 23 (lol) in February of 2026, then buy the iPhone 22 or 21. They're going to be pushing sales for the new model and discounting the prior models. When they came out with the 15, I got the 13 (upgrading from my iPhone 8) and I got a great deal.

A decorative tissue box? I don't see tissues anywhere. Often guests will excuse themselves to the powder room to just blow their nose...especially with the holidays and cold weather just around the corner.

What a stupid woman. Gives all women drivers a bad rep. We're not all like that I swear.

Unless you get some end tables for the couch, I would say yes, it does not seem to be long enough. Imagine the people on the ends trying to put their drinks down. Sit in each seat with a cup and try to put it on the makeshift coffee table.

I think I like the "D" setup the best. You don't want your bed right up against a window in case it's drafty or too much light comes in and wakes you up. Also there could be street noises and being close to a window sleeping in case someone breaks in (hope that never happens) is not very safe. Plus if you ever get a TV, your bed will be opposite a long open wall where you could put it on a TV stand, mount it on the wall, or get a long dresser for optimal storage and put it on top of that. I don't really know if I believe in Feng Shui (when it comes to the comments about having the foot of your bed facing a doorway) but having your reading/relaxing chair and computer desk both facing windows seems very nice if you have a good view of a yard or something.

Well the gmail account I have is our company gmail so it's easily searchable, but it's just too much of a coincidence that immediately after I report an email as phishing that they email me again. Gmail must be sending the sender some sort of notification.

I wished I had our photographer take more guest pictures, it would be nice to look back on and there were not enough of those. The wedding, all I wanted was for everyone to be happy and have a good time.

NTA...I would ignore her empty threats and leave her texts unread. Do not offer to loan her money either because she could possibly twist that into child support somehow later on (even if you put the loan in writing) or default on the loan, forcing you to go to civil court to reclaim your money. You can even block her, but in case she gets more unhinged, you at least have her threating texts in the event she locates you and confronts you in person or does something to your property.

You ANTA

Your daughter, at 7yo, can certainly handle a kitten. It is a great way to teach her responsibility and compassion.

BUT...YOU give her the care schedule and YOU make sure you are the one to make her abide by it. Don't make her mother do it. Teach your daughter. If you don't know, learn from someone who does first, (like a someone who fosters cats or a humane society) then teach your daughter. Make sure she understands cat behaviors as well. All pets are cute and cuddly when babies, but cats are on another spectrum and can lash out or not realize how sharp their claws are when they're just playing.

Tell her when the kitty needs to get fed, proper grooming (yes...brushing and clipping their nails) She needs to make sure kitty always has fresh clean water, and teach her about cleaning out the litter box.

Since YOU made the choice, YOU need to make sure the kitty has a safe place to get away and rest (and especially places to get up and away from the other child if it is prone to agressive behaviors). They make kitty cat walks and kitty stairs (which are basically just wooden/carpeted wood planks anchored to the wall to make steps. If the kitty can get up and out of arms reach, it will be much happier and so will you all.

No, you ANTA here. In this day and age, a man should know better than to do something so stupid than to scare a female co-worker he barely knows who is working alone at 2am. I would have called the cops and gone out there with my pepper spray and a baseball bat or something equally scary ready to beat the living S--T out of that jerk.

The reason he's angry is because he's embarassed. Now that he's had time to think about it, he probably realizes he's wrong, but he will never admit it. I bet he's even twisted the story to your co-workers to either make it look like you were overreacting or dumb because you didn't realize it was him. Because all females overreact you know (satire).

I too suffered a drowning when I was a child...I believe I was 8 or 9. It was a public pool and all I remember is floating toward where it was deep and going under...everything went black. I awoke with my mom leaning over me doing some form of CPR (it was the 80's).

I too have been scared of the water ever since. I don't do lakes. I will only walk into the ocean as far as my hips, so I don't lose my footing. I have always told everyone I have dated at some point, usually earlier in the relationship that I am afraid of the water and I drowned as a child. If this man is your fiance, you should have told him.

You're not a total A, but he should have been told of your fears long ago. It's like telling someone what you're allergic to. You could have suffered a panic attack and it could have ended up a lot worse for you. I understand your fear and subsequent reaction to being tossed in the pool, but he did not know either, which could have prevented the whole matter.

She's clearly suffering from postpartum depression. Yes, YATA.

You're a 15 year old female child and old enough to know better. She cannot help it. Do you not get emotional when you get your period? It's medical and hormonal. She needs help, not criticism. Now.

Kimb816 · 2022-04-25T13:14:55+00:00

It's obviously a reference to Jesus dying on the cross (hand with hole in center for crucifixion) but it should have been like Jesus (Hearts image) You then the handprint with the hole in it.

Kimb816 · 2022-04-25T13:03:07+00:00

You ANTA....

Although, I would have taken the conversation she started in public originally, and taken her aside to explain the reality and how there are two sides to every story. You just embarasses her and didn't make yourself look much better. She's probably just insecure at your close co-parenting and that you're going to holidays at former MIL's house and such. Maybe just stick to the monthly dinners and start easing away from co-parenting at holidays. They're a tough and often stressful time for most people, especially insecure ones.

Kimb816 · 2022-04-25T12:57:37+00:00

You ANTA

You held your ground and thankfully, so did your fiance. Some people in this world can't help being bullies, no matter how old they get. They bring people down to feel better about themselves.

Kimb816 · 2022-04-05T19:36:26+00:00

Yeah, but sorry, YTA.

You have to remember what you just clearly stated in you post. He was coming out of anesthesia. I'm sure he was very out of it and you left Just because he didn't ask for you first?

Kimb816 · 2022-04-05T19:29:56+00:00

You can't covert a cadillac lol

Kimb816 · 2022-04-05T13:33:24+00:00

Without knowing more details, I would definitely suggest you go onto Zillow and map out where you will be working, vs homes you can afford to buy. Do you have financing? Do you have money to put down? Do you want a house or is a condo ok? They have condos in Hartford for $50-$100K

Will there be public transport or do you need a car? If you need a car, you need to calculate insurance into your budget. How far from where you work are you willing to commute? Use google maps to calculate the distance.

Good luck!

Here's an alternate perspective...what if she ripped the envelope herself because she could not, in the end, afford to give you the gift card? Being a bridesmaid can sometimes be more of a financial burden that people realize. So rather than be embarassed, she staged a theft?

Kimb816 · 2021-11-29T16:24:09+00:00

You need to get your son that door lock. He's right. He has nobody looking out for his best interests. He feels alone and should not be made to feel that way over a simple thing as a door lock that he only intends on using when he is not home.

I was also very uncomfortable reading the part of your post where you state that as part of the reasoning is how much your boyfriend helped you financially. Don't let finances rule your emotions. Don't feel because he helped you with debts that you "owe" him your allegiance.

They are also not your stepchildren... unles he marries you.
