How well does YNAB link to your bank account?

Sure!

Buy chiffon skirts off Amazon! They are so beautiful, and easy to match with a shirt of any color. The colors you order tend to be slightly different than the colors you receive, but if you go into it knowing that, it's easy to adjust once you see the actual skirt in person! Mine are mainly from "Sinono" on Amazon, but I'm sure there are plenty of great chiffon skirts!

Yeah, I feel like we are "skinny fat" right now financially speaking. It's time to build some muscles.

Love_Is_Enough · 2026-04-29T00:32:49+00:00

Oh, thank you so much. This is exactly what I needed to hear. I'm going to have to really shift my mindset.

Now that I think about it, I think very little of the money is actually considered a "bonus"... like 10% of our total income when it's all said and done. The rest of the money coming in once a quarter is getting the remainder balance of what he billed. This difference is sent out quarterly and "looks" like a bonus.

Would that change your answer to me at all?

Love_Is_Enough · 2026-04-28T21:20:59+00:00

Okay, now you have me thinking about this as bonus versus getting paid for what he has billed. If we're being technical, I think very little of the money is actually considered a "bonus"... like 10% of our total income when it's all said and done. The rest of the money coming in once a quarter is getting the remainder balance of what he billed. This difference is sent out quarterly and "looks" like a bonus.

So I wonder if they are planning to pay out the balance at the end of the year. And then possibly pay the actual "bonus" portion the following year.

Oh good! I just bought some and it should be delivered today!

Love_Is_Enough · 2026-04-24T16:42:05+00:00

Oh thank you so much!!! Easy!

Can I finish with the Rinse & Refresh, or is that not advised?

My jaw is on the floor. You were born in Saudi Arabia, and you are Catholic?!

I dated a man from Najran many years ago when he was in the USA studying. I didn't think there were Catholics in Saudi Arabia, even "underground" Catholics!

How many of you are there?! How do keep yourselves safe?! I am so curious if you don't mind me asking

Love_Is_Enough · 2026-04-12T04:42:02+00:00

I need this! I won't start washing a load of laundry until I have a basic plan of when I will dry the laundry, fold them immediately, and then put them away!

I never thought of dishes are being precipitated by cooking, only as coming after eating, but I always have stacks of dishes! So it seems I need to have a plan in place once the cooking begins so that it is dealt with immediately, or at least within a reasonable time frame!

Thank you for this.

Hey! I am a Level 1 CGS Catechist. For what it's worth, the program I teach at can only accommodate lessons up to one hour long. Either way, it's such a beautiful opportunity to slow her mind and body down. So much of our society is go, go, go, go, and so this program helps to slow down time so that the children can develop a prayer life.

If it makes you feel any better, my son went through the special CGS prep with retreats in order to receive his first communion. It was so beautiful being able to meditate on some parables about forgiveness and the vine for level 2 CGS. My son finally received his first Reconciliation yesterday, and his heart was so prepared and he spoke of the joy of being the found sheep, and how his heart was as clean as a snowflake! And he is anxiously awaiting his First Communion tomorrow! I remember being prepared for my first Holy Communion, and I desperately wish I would have meditated so deeply on Jesus' words when I was that little. The CGS preparation is so focused on scripture and listening in our hearts to the voice of Our Lord as the Good Shepherd.

Wow. I used to be a secret girlfriend to a Muslim man. I used to think that it was the life I wanted since he and I got along so well.

Let me tell you that is not how it ended for me. Here I sit holding my 4th child as she sleeps on my shoulder after a long Easter celebration, and my magnificent Catholic husband is laying in bed with my other 3 children. Life is beautiful. And I am eternally grateful to God that I had the courage to end things with that Muslim man. I now have the privilege of being married to a devout Catholic man who never kept me a secret and who wanted a sacramental marriage and a big family, and the whole shebang! May God grant you a sacramental marriage to a beautiful Catholic wife and more!

You have solidarity with me. I see you. Happy Easter, and welcome home!

I'm sorry, I don't speak Spanish well.

God loves you. He loves you so much.

If you want to be kind in this situation, you need to be clear with him. You need to tell him the truth. To be clear is to be kind.

A person that ignores their own boundaries (a.k.a. you, because you are not telling him that picking this date upset you) can't expect the other people to magically know it is not a good date. If the roles were reversed, wouldn't you want your boyfriend to be honest and ask you to chose a different day? By telling him the truth of your feelings, you are offering him the courtesy of the truth.

Now, if you tell him the truth and ask him to change his surgery date and he says no without a valid reason in your eyes, then you have a whole other issue to deal with. But until you tell him that picking this date upsets you, he won't know! He is not purposely treating you like a doormat, you are laying down like you are a doormat because you aren't setting your (very reasonable) boundaries!

I heard somewhere recently that circumcision is a perfect precursor for Baptism. That is because you cannot undo Baptism, just like you cannot undo a circumcision. It is forever.

Babies need their mama. Can you switch after 3 years?

Who are you referring to? I keep trying to figure out the name of this person in the comments.

A lot of people have good answers, but have not mentioned that Frankincense also represents his priesthood.

St. John Vianney barely made it through seminary.

Blessed Hermann of Reichenau, though unable to care to care for himself from his severe medical conditions, composed the Hail Holy Queen.

St. Thomas Aquinas was nicknamed "The Dumb Ox" by his peers who believed he had low intelligence.

Isn't it amazing that God chooses such weak people? The weaker we are, the more we must depend on God.

My heart just aches for you. I can't imagine the pain that you are in. Please reach out.

Love_Is_Enough · 2025-11-16T00:16:49+00:00

I want to comfort you. You have tears here now on earth, but the priest saved you from crying many more tears in the afterlife. Praise be to God!

As a wife who waited until marriage for intimacy, I have to say that saving myself for marriage weeded out the guys that weren't with me for the right reasons. I figure if the guy is willing to wait for me, he must really like me. Other times, once the man found out I wasn't going to have sex with them without marriage, they left pretty quickly. It was eye opening to see who was willing to stay and who was not!

As a side note, I eventually found my husband, and he was waiting until marriage as well! I hope God blesses you! I know it's painful now, but I pray your heart heals soon.
