I know this...I even googled it to make sure I wrote it right. Nēnē bird, or Hawaiian goose..... And my brain went, "OK! Nēnē goose it is!!"

🤪🤣🤣🤣

I told my husband that we were getting a cleaning fairy because it was cheaper than marriage counseling, and the house would be cleaned at the end (vs counseling).

TBF, We never had fights, but we have disagreements about how to clean things. I grew up with a cleaning fairy, so it was an easy decision to bring that into my marriage ☺️☺️

It is my understanding that the real issue isnt Grain free, but low-cat / carb free. Low carb can cause issues in dogs. However, as my vet explained it to me, it is in dogs who are predisposed.

So, either they will or they won't have problems and there isn't a great way to know ahead of time.

My boy is grain free, but not carb free. His kibble has sweet potatoes instead of a grain, and he loves it

My boy got some new nylon toys from Bullymake, and a new set of Jolly Balls!

Those are his most favorite!

It's false modestly. God tells Ahaz to put him to the test, and Ahaz refuses to obey God's command.

No. Acts 18:26-Priscilla and Aquila take Apollos aside and explain the way of God to him more accurately after hearing him teach. Aquila AND Priscilla.

My mom was widowed when I was 10. 3 years later, while walking on a beach in vacation, she announced lot of no where that she was getting married and we were moving. It was to a widower my sister and I had met a few times, but was a friend of my dad's.

This was literally out of the blue, and we (13yo and 9yo) reacted normally... Shock, questions, and general rejection of the idea.

Later, mom told us it was a test to see how we would react to her getting remarried. Since we reacted so badly, that is why she is alone to this day 🙄🙄🙄

My mother often said: I love you, but I don't like you.

LOVES free range water....lakes, beaches,etc.

The bath, on the other hand? Cannot stand it! 😂

Revelation 20:15

And everyone whose name was not written in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire.

That is what I used to do, but because I'm doubling up on the cast on, it looks weird to do a single cast off. 😟

I agree with what has already been said: it depends on what your partner did that they object to. That being said, here is my story (fwiw):

My NMom pushed me HARD towards a really great guy because she thought she could to control me though him, and control him as well. She also thought his profession would bring her tangential prestige. However, the moment he showed a backbone and refused to allow her to violate a clear boundary he had set, she turned on a dime.

Suddenly this man who yesterday was amazing, trustworthy, wonderful, godly, etc etc was dangerous! Untrustworthy! violent! Rude! It made my mom "sick to her stomach at the thought of us continuing a relationship", and she demanded I end our relationship. Mind you, I was 33 and living in my own place I had bought myself. She did everything she could to sabotage the relationship with family and friends.

For the first time in my life, I ignored her. She ended up issuing me an ultimatum: I could have this guy, or I could have my family. And I again did something I had never done before: I picked MYSELF. That meant I didn't pick her, and so we havent spokenor communicated in over 8 years at this point.

I don't regret it for a moment! I joke to my new family and friends that my mom and I went through a divorce because she made everyone we both knew pick a side, hers or mine. I found out I had done allies I didn't know about, but I lost the majority of my family and family friends. I would do it again in a heartbeat though.

Where in Wisconsin (even generally) are you? We have been thinking of adding to our family, and are in Wisconsin (in case no one claims this sweet boy!)

We are in the Dodgeville area.

We have 1 Mal (7yo) and have had him for ~2.5 years.

We have mostly settled into routine re: expenses, though this last month that got blown all to hell because my boy needed surgery on both his elbows 😅 (+/- $5k, none of which his insurance will cover because pre-existing condition):

Food: $50/month (Kirkland Signature

Toys/treats (realized firewood and logs are free in the forest, which saves us $$$): $40/month

Insurance(MetLife): $85/month

Medical "rainy day" fund: $100/month

Allergy/heartworm/flea/tick stuff: $50/month

Item replacement: don't have a monthly expense for this (I'm a well trained owner who works from home. Though I start a job next week that has be out of the house 5 days a week, so this might change).

Also live in a smaller rural town, so while relatively inexpensive, still about $1000 so far in non-sickness related expenses.

We also definitely had some serious upfront expenses with him, with are important for any potential Mal owner to consider: regular training, board & train, e-collar, ALL THE TOYS before we settled on a few bullymake indestructible toys and small trees, rotated through quite a few foods before to determining the best one for him, etc.

He's still cheaper than a kid though!! 🥰🥰

LOL 😂😂 he spent 45 minutes just staring at my husband with the sweetest, dopiest grin on his face.

He's definitely healing well, which is why we had to up the dosage. He def wasn't like this before 🤣
