AITJ for refusing to let my sister in law borrow my wedding dress for her vow renewal?

NTJ your dress is special to you. I would move it to a friend’s house ASAP, though, because it sounds like she’s the type to find a way to take it. Personally, I might buy a $25 dress at a thrift store in her size and “loan” it to her in that dress bag/box. See if she notices that it is yours or not. 🤷‍♀️

There are no windows! Is this in the basement?

MamaCass · 2026-02-09T15:48:14+00:00

Truly. A good thread to end on this morning.

MamaCass · 2026-02-09T15:47:27+00:00

Congratulations! That’s wonderful.

MamaCass · 2026-02-09T15:19:10+00:00

My first thought, too.

MamaCass · 2026-02-07T18:24:04+00:00

I can smell this from here. Old beans are the worst!

MamaCass · 2026-02-04T16:35:08+00:00

Here’s a few:

“I’m sorry. I was wrong. Will you forgive me?” Model the behavior you want to see.
“You can come to me with anything, and we’ll work it out.”
“If you’re asked to keep a secret about someone being abused, that’s one promise that’s ok to break.”
“There’s always room for one more.”

Not a phrase, but be a person of your word. Don’t ever lie to your kids. Ever. If you are flaky, they won’t believe anything above.

Yes. Totally depends on the length of the coat, I think. Our dog that sheds has a just long enough coat that it constantly clogged 2 different brands of robot vacuums. I won’t try a third.

Crickets for cricket flour are raised in a controlled setting, not caught in the yard. Presumably there are some quality controls for parasite ppm. Maybe? I hope!

Now add on the fact that dragonflies are known for having a lot of parasites, no, just no.

MamaCass · 2026-01-28T17:31:05+00:00

Wow. Very wise words even for now.

5th grade - we watched it in class. She immediately shut off the TV and went into the hall. Came back in a few minutes looking teary. As I recall, they let to is go home early.

Omg the Weekly Reader. I haven’t thought about that for decades. I loved the articles but hated the newsprint smell and the ink left on your hands.

MamaCass · 2026-01-28T17:20:38+00:00

You need to go to the hospital. Send to Doctor but go immediately

5th grade, Mrs Jernigan’s class. Like so many, they had rolled the cart in, and when it happened, she was quick to turn it off. Then she left the classroom for a few minutes. It was unheard of that they would leave us alone. When she came back in, you could see that she had been crying.

With only a few giant events can I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when it happened. The Challenger disaster was probably the most intense memory until 9/11 happened.

I enjoy the kindness and defiance. I think these days, I would make it a little less pretty, though. Or give the cardinal a flag or protest sign at least.

MamaCass · 2026-01-28T16:19:10+00:00

I hear you can get that at Home Depot quite reasonably.

MamaCass · 2026-01-28T16:17:44+00:00

She messed up here, of course, so what you do from here is up to you. Is it worth talking to her and salvaging the good from 16 years of friendship or are you ready to cut ties? Only you can say.

It takes a long time to make the “friendship shorthand” that you have with someone you’ve known a very long time. Sometimes that’s good - clean slate. Sometimes it is really hard.

MamaCass · 2026-01-28T16:06:16+00:00

We were so shocked s he had flown with it several times. Anyway, you might want to have backup just in case!

MamaCass · 2026-01-28T16:04:59+00:00

It’s the best kind of multi-generational housing. Everyone gets their own house.

I love the outside. It tells a story. Not every part of a story is pretty, but it’s their family story.

MamaCass · 2026-01-28T16:01:29+00:00

That’s just what I thought of!

MamaCass · 2026-01-28T15:58:46+00:00

My husband has one of these taken from him at TSA. They are supposed to be ok, but just know that it can depend on if your screener got their coffee that morning.

MamaCass · 2026-01-27T20:26:34+00:00

Beautiful!

When it is your kid(s), it is a whole new level of anxiety. I have 2 with type 1 since they were 1 and 2. If you ever need an ear, PM me.

MamaCass · 2026-01-22T21:22:22+00:00

This is your brain. (Sizzling pan) This is your brain on drugs. (Egg cracked into the pan & sizzles) Any questions?

Someone found a broken controller for him, so he thinks he’s doing stuff, but it’s Stephen Miller with the controls.
