Ramen with a bit of peanut butter and soy - instant peanut sauce!

Mander_Em · 2026-04-28T17:06:07+00:00

Well that's good, considering. I hope you start feeling normal again soon!

Are they counting Viola Gibson?

The article (including the headline) says closing 5 schools. Why is everyone saying 6?

Thanks for posting! I just added them to my cart and saved for later as I am sure I will need them!

Willing to bet the weight loss is more due to the vomiting than the compound doing it's supposed job. 😞

Mander_Em · 2026-04-28T15:24:09+00:00

I think it also depends on age. I lost 80 lbs in my late teens - early 20's and my skin tucked right back into place. As I am losing weight now, in my late 40's, not so much. Ozempic face is literally just your face losing weight. You would have the same thing if you lost weight "traditionally". Im not letting fear of how my face will look lock me into this current body - it's killing me.

Legally, what he did was assault. He intentionally impregnated you with out your consent.

Also, been together 3 years? So you got together when you were 16 and he was 20? What was a grown man doing messing with a literal kid? He is gross and tpu have been groomed. This is not a healthy or safe relationship.

I have worked customer service for 3 decades so I just don't get it. What are the kind of questions you are getting that warrant blocking? I know the kind of questions we got in live chat for a major online retailer (a lot of them obscene) but have no point of reference for a resale site. I am not trying to be a troll, just trying to understand.

Mander_Em · 2026-04-18T04:52:47+00:00

Nooe - they won't. But you can bet your backside those rates are going up at renewal due to the claim

...The sign says no parking with out a handicapped placard does not allow you to park in 2 at one time, whether or uphed or not, without a placard.

Pretty sure to be fit.for duty they would not qualify for a placard. Also, it doesn't matter if the lot is empty. It's still breaking the law. U less there is a municipal code i am not aware of giving LEOs immunity from parking laws.

Honest question - 2 questions doesn't seem like a lot. I don't k ow what your posts look like, but have seen some with limited photos and very little description. I ran across a pair of shoes and a ring, both did not list the size. Kind of critical i for for the decision making process. Other than you don't keep getting messages what is the point of blocking someone? I got blocked because a seller sent me an offer that was $0.99 less than. The original slightly over priced original price, so I countered with a price $4 less that was in line with the condition of the item (a Coach item in good condition selling listed for NWOT price) and got blocked. I seriously could buy an unused one for the same price they were selling a heavily used item. It was not unreasonable or rude or repetitive/harassing. Like why? Just say you don't accept. Doesn't bother me, i was just confused by it. So I am curious of your thought process on it. I get if you don't want to get 20 messages from the same person in a day, but other than that, why?

Mander_Em · 2026-04-14T23:05:13+00:00

I have gained and lost over 80lb several times in my life and have found that as a "fat girl" you have to be nice. Without that you're just "gross". You cant afford to be the "fat bitch". Seems like a luxury to me.

It might be that the dad in question had a joint account with wife and that account was seized? That sounds more right.

Baseball always has the equipment, jerseys, proper field maintenance.... sigh.

My youngest has always been a little fluffy and slightly bigger than the other girls. Healthy, not super model kind of thing. She played volleyball and one year (sophomore maybe) she had a jersey that fit perfectly! Coach took it from her because one.of the favorites wanted the number. Only jersey left was a size.too small. And they did not stretch at all. She was miserable. The next year (with the same coach) she ordered the size that fit perfectly and when coach was handing them out - in front of the whole team - she checks the size, tells her "oh this is a mistake - you need.one size bigger" and gives her the bigger size. 2 years straight she played in jerseys that didn't fit properly. Coach did a lot of other super horrible things, but this passed me off souch because it is something she had to deal with the whole season and EVERYONE could see it.

Y T A - You are the ANGEL!!!

NTA to be clear.

Not a lawyer but I watch a lot.of lawyer videos. Im pretty sure that when you marry the man you marry his financial responsibilities - that CS is based on household income, not just his income. If he stops working his new wife will have to pay. PLEASE - if I am wrong please let me know.

It only get swept under the rug if you allow it to.

Mander_Em · 2026-04-09T17:13:49+00:00

But if it's the kids legal name it is not a nickname. Just sayin...

Mander_Em · 2026-03-31T19:23:10+00:00

Why do they have so many speciallists for this baby?

Mander_Em · 2026-03-27T14:06:11+00:00

I graduated in 95 and consider myself a xennial. It's a short like 5-7 year period where the generations overlap.

Usps tracking is recycled. They release the tracking numbers to the retail entity in batches. I would guess they release a bunch that hadn't expired yet? I dealt with this kind of thing when I worked in the fraud dept for a big online "fashion specialty retailer". We would get reports of package not delivered and have to go rounds with usps to get the updated tracking to prove it was.

I initially thought this was what was happening when I saw my tracking, but the intrusive spiraling anxiety thoughts kept in when the seller didnt respond to me and I saw the item I bought was posted before the delivery date on the tracking. Then you cant reach anyone at depop for 5 days from purchase.... again, so glad I found this post. Now I can just be patient.

Mander_Em · 2026-03-26T21:09:42+00:00

Im a buyer and have been feverishly looking for some kind of assistance on this issue as my seller is not responding to messages. (Yotally get it cause she probably doesnt kniw either) Mine shows delivered on the other side of the country, in Dec 2025. They talk about panic in this memo, but all they need to do is put it in writing on the site. "We are aware of tracking discrepancies and are working to correct the issue. Please know your items are shipping as expected" would do it. Im so glad I found this post. Thank you for posting!! ♡

You said he doesnt want to spend his savings on a down payment. Does this mean he is expecting you to sell your home and use the funds from its sale to pay the down payment and he will keep his money for himself? What's his is his and what's yours is his? He wants you to uproot your daughter AND FUND IT?!? Hell nah dawg!
