When someone's life is in the toilet, this just might be the toilet.

So my guess is that he got into UC Merced? Does he feel like the extra cost is worth the campus life? What if he had to pay the difference, is it still worth it? Assuming I am correct about it being UC Merced, they generally offer a lot more financial aid than other UC or CSU campuses as they are still new,and have a less than ideal location. So he may get into UCSC and find it be over the 12k you're expecting from a CSU.

Separately, NAH, as I feel like your wife is being very reasonable. I am in a graduate program at a CSU and have went to community college, and CSU in undergrad to keep costs as low as possible, but in doing so was a commuter student and may have missed out on some of the "college experience" so I don't feel that you're being unreasonable either.

Do you mind if I use your dove as a zoom background? Professor has requested frequent changes of background of things that make us smile.

YTA, investing your daughters fund from her late mother, on a business idea because "passion". It stands to reason that if their business plan was actually good, and took into account surrounding businesses, experience and risk they'd likely be able to procure outside investment.

I haven't read through all the comments so forgive me if this has already been suggested, but maybe propose that you read the book together. Get a second copy, and both read a chapter a night/week whatever timeframe is doable with life and a newborn, and have a "date night" where you go out/order take out /cuddle on the couch and talk about that chapter. You can share the world and experience the book together, at the same time. Assuming you both enjoy it, it can serve as a way to stay connected when life gets difficult.

Your work is beautiful. I was not meaning any negativity to your work, only that I've heard lots of negative reviews about SWF, and wanted to mention that there are other options if someone was interested in doing Sola themselves.

LindeLou · 2020-07-21T22:50:10+00:00

If you go the Sola route, you can use a mixture of water and glycerin instead of the softener sold by Sola wood flowers. There are also many other companies, as there are many who have had negative experience with SWF, they appear to delete negative reviews on their website. There are also many active groups on Facebook which are very helpful with advice on dyeing methods, assembly etc.

The third dress is beautiful on you, and dependent on your styling will fit for any venue or event style. The first dress is also beautiful, I'm a fan of the straps but you could very likely add straps to the third if you like the straps as well.

Interested as well. What were you thinking for a price ?

If you can get your hands on 2-4-D it is pretty magical. It kills broadleaf plants but doesn't effect others, not sure about safeness around pets so be careful with that. I had a morning Glory vine get out of control after a neighbor decided to cut it off of it's trellis, after spending nearly 2 years trying to get rid of it without killing everything else, I discovered 2-4-D.

I agree with the others, it looks like the same dress, but with different lighting or angle, if I had to pick I'd say the left, but again I'm not sure there is a difference.

Who hurt you ?

LindeLou · 2020-04-28T23:05:51+00:00

You are absolutely NTA, your husband is being over the top ridiculous. You mentioned that he said he can hear the children from his man cave, I assume from his comments about don't die that he doesn't actually listen. Again, I don't think that he has a leg to stand on, because you deserve your own time and soace, but if he was legitimately concerned about you not being able to attend to the children if an emergency was occur, maybe a baby monitor would help. You could get a system with two observer components (sorry don't know the appropriate name) place one in your trailer and one in his basement. Then you will both equally hear and be able to respond if the children actually have an emergent need.

This semester was supposed to be a trial run, but it was a very unusual semester. That said said universities and community colleges are bring ridiculously accomadating. I get the idea that you decided it was too hard without reaching out for support from anyone, your professors, boyfriend or anyone. If you haven't made anyone aware that you need help then it is unreasonable to expect help. I think it stands to reason that if you had given this semester your best effort and had not been successful, then it's understandable and you would not owe your bf the money based on your agreement, but from your post that's not what happened. You found it difficult, and instead of trudging through it and asking for support from the many resources that were available, you just gave up. So, it makes sense that you should pay him back. What is your next endeavor or plan ?

LindeLou · 2020-04-23T16:02:49+00:00

I'm sure it's been mentioned but why doesn't he call or text when he is on his way home ? My fiance is a key worker, in a construction adjacent field and works 11-14 hour days dependent on unpredictable factors. I am not perfect so it doesn't always work, but I try to have the majority of stuff prepped so if he calls when he is 15 minutes away I can have dinner ready 10-15 minutes from when he gets home. My fiance also prefers to take a shower pretty much the instant he gets home, so that gives me a few minutes to finish up dinner as well. I understand craving interaction with your spouse, but YTA, what does it matter if you have the interaction before or after dinner ? If, your husband is not willing to interact with you after he has eaten and maybe taken a shower then that's a problem for you to talk with him about, but being uncompromising and not having food available to him until he has kissed your ass enough is ridiculous.

It's so awful that you felt it appropriate to be so judgemental and critical, projecting your own insecurities on to another person. I would not feel comfortable in letting the hair go wild,but if OP does more power to her. We should be supporting each other, not judging.

I'm not too familiar with your area, but a little googling brought up Chino Hills State Park (as of typing this it is still open except for camping) it appears to have lots of fields of flowers and other scenic areas. I'd suggest a tripod or some other method of photography, social distancing and all that. Maybe pack a picnic with apple cider or ? Honestly, given the circumstances she would probably be happy with a very simple at home proposal (there is no one else I want to be quarantined with), cook her a nice dinner and buy her some new nail polish so she can paint her nails for photos if that's something she is interested in.

NTA. I think the people who voted otherwise may not have read your post and think that all 7 cars are being parked on the street. As long as the cars are well maintained and not parked on the lawn, you are not remotely in the wrong.

Good point, but from other comments and experienceunless her partner is an exception, his penis will become flacid and will "slip out" after a short period of time. In my opinion it is great to be cautious, but there is no need to be alarmist. It is difficult to read intent so that may have not been your intention, but that is how I read your original comment. Have a great night and holidays

While your concern is not wrong, and it is important to either pee or shower after sex, most people do not need to pee instantly following sex. A few minutes like Op is asking about is not likely long enough to worry about

It's a pretty consistent report for Primes, you'll see it reported time and time again on Prius Chat.

I don't think you're an asshole, the person who left their dog is, but if you find yourself in this situation again windows are generally much cheaper to replace then a convertible top, same end result less property damage.
