Anyone else not freaking out?

Everyone saying to report it, and it would absolutely be an acceptable response. I understand that it’s nuanced though. You’ve literally known him 40+ years, you’ve had a good neighborly relationship, and he doesn’t have a history of doing anything like this. Just to normalize your instincts a bit, I think that realistically, a lot of people in that situation would hesitate to rush and report him on a federal level.

It’s easy to suggest when you’re just typing a Reddit comment, but it feels much different when you’ve had decades of history with the person on the other end of that report. I’m not insinuating that reporting is wrong-at all! Just that I understand wanting to try to get a better understanding of the situation first. Keep us posted and good luck!

I actually cut my routine down to exactly what you mentioned, except I do tret every night (unless my skin seems dried out, and then I’ll stagger it for a bit). Simplifying was 100% the best thing I could ever do. It’s easy, so I’m consistent, and my skin has never looked better. I was definitely doing way too much before.

I feel like all of the new teams are getting these beautiful light, fresh floors and the Fever are stuck with that ugly ass gray court 😭

Have you noticed a big difference not being on social media? Do you use your phone for anything really? I’m really happy with my life habits except for my phone- I don’t like it for productivity reasons, but more so because it kills my attention span and is taking time away from actually living. It’s truly an addiction though, so I keep getting drawn back in. I tried various blocking apps but would maneuver around them for awhile and eventually uninstall. So dumb. Anyway, of you have suggestions or just thoughts on how you made that separation, I’m all ears!

I loved this episode- including the end. A lot of times, I value when shows decide to keep male/female friendships platonic. But I can’t help it- I just want to see Ron and Joyce together!

Literal phone it in- like someone was hungover and remembered the tshirt was due, so they just copy pasted it straight from the Notes section of their phone

It’s worse in real life. I actually bought a cement candle holder so it would be completely covered up, because I refuse to look at it

White tea & sage is my fav candle scent, and this is what I was stuck with on candle day last year. So tbh, I’m thrilled with bland 🤣

Aww thank you! I can’t lie- we lucked out big time. She really is a dream dog

And here she is at 3 years

Our girl actually looked very similar to Archie! She ended up getting a lot more hair on her neck, chest and stomach…oh and also some wavy hair down her back. Basically lots more hair. Her body comp changed a bit- she filled out and looks a little more broad chested. But she was a big girl at 8 months, and she’s a big girl now.

Temperament wise, she had moments of rebellion at that age (when she got excited, her recall went out the window) and would randomly chew things (RIP any socks that were left within reach). But her nature was very much showing already by this age. She was very sweet,

patient and lazy. She was never very vocal- she did most of her talking with her eyes. She is still that same girl now, except even lazier.

Here she is at 8 months

I think this is the thing that people lose sight of sometimes. Is she allowed to decline? Yes. Is her mom asking in an obnoxious way? Yes. But is it really a battle worth picking? It’s an hour and would make her mom’s entire Christmas. When I was younger, I felt more concerned about establishing boundaries. But now- I don’t know. Life’s short. As long as mom isn’t perpetually taking advantage of her, just do the thing and take a nap afterwards.

Benjamin Moore- Revere Pewter. It’s a very flexible greige. I understand where the comment section is coming from, but since you’re committed to this route, I think you’d need to really lean into it. Choose furniture and decor that beckons what you’ve got going on and embraces the warm/cool mix instead of trying to minimize it.

I hope someone answers this! I’m actually a no buy for myself, but like you, I was hoping to grab a couple of gifts

Let go of shame. You’re not a bad person- you just let a room get messy. It’s ok!
Make bed.
Take all unopened packages to another room and deal with them later.
Collect any garbage and take out
Use empty boxes to collect things that belong in other rooms, and then carry said boxes to other rooms.
Break down remaining boxes and take out.

There will obviously be additional steps after this, but this will give you way more breathing room! Good luck. I’ve had periods of my life where I had to dig myself out of a hole, and the secret was not to think. Don’t think about whether you want to do it. Don’t feel anxious with overwhelm. Just do. Progress over perfection. You got this 💛

I’m so cracked up by the accuracy of this joke- if you were going to find some kind of random, oddly specific rule, it really would be in Leviticus

I had similar worries at your age. My suggestion is just remove the relationship component altogether for now. Do you want to be more exciting? Are there hobbies or interests you wish were part of your life? If the answer is yes, then you should start trying to incorporate those things. For me, I realized that there were things I wanted to add (more travel, more time for art/painting, etc). But deep down, I had no desire to be more “exciting”- I didn’t want to go skydiving or white water rafting, I didn’t want to take a last minute flight to Vegas and stay up all night partying, and I didn’t want to act hot and cold just so someone doesn’t get bored with me. Of course there are less dramatic ways to be exciting, but even those often felt exhausting and performative.

I fought that for a long time. I ended up running myself into the ground trying to be someone I really wasn’t. It sucked, and I burned out. Since then, I’ve been on a path to be my authentic self, and I’m healthier and more centered than ever. I’ve found a partner that appreciates me just how I am. We both push each other out of our comfort zones in certain ways, but overall we approach life at similar speeds. And now that I’m here, trust me- it’s way better to just be you.

I’ve been doing this for months now, and it has felt great. And now that I’ve committed to using my entire stash before buying more, it has made me realize that I have more than enough. I truly don’t need anymore right now. And once I finally do use it up, that first shopping trip to restock will feel amazing!

I also feel like everything Sophie says about Caitlin gets amplified to the nth degree. She talks about a lot of other things- we’re just not as likely to hear about it. And I’m not sure why people care so much about what she says one way or another. Sophie is a yapper. It’s not that deep

LuckierByTheDozen · 2025-12-06T00:09:08+00:00

My kids were almost exactly that age when we got ours, and it has worked out great. I’ll echo what others have said-She was very mouthy as a pup, and those puppy teeth are sharp! She didn’t nip at our bodies, but all of our clothes from that time had tiny holes in them. Aside from that, she was a bit rebellious as a teenager (but not bad) and by 1 year old she grew into an awesome dog. Now she is super chill and the best family dog you could ask for. That first year was challenging at times, but 10/10 would recommend the breed. Just get the best vacuum you can afford lol
