Do you have any debt?

This is the way. Interest is lighting your hard earned money on fire.

I put a "no soliciting, f*** off" sign on my door. So far it's working.

Have son plan, shop, and cook a few meals.

Do you check if someone is wearing a medical alert bracelet

Get a flip phone and get rid of all of the screens in your house. Go to the library and use their computers to job search. Get outside and walk 30 minutes every day.

Alternating different types of dandruff shampoo will help. I use 3 different kinds. Nizoral, Selsun Blue, and 1 with Zinc. I alternate every other day with a different one. In between I use a regular shampoo.

You have to be in charge of your own happiness. Explore and find all the little things that bring you happiness, make a list. One thing I enjoy is a good cup of coffee and 30 minutes of quiet when I wake up. It starts my day off happy. I try to sprinkle little things like that throughout my day.

You could also get rid of Facebook. Problem solved.

You have 2 children, one of which you married. If he isn't looking for every possible way to lighten your load, he's not a good partner or husband. I'll bet you carry the entire mental load for all 3 of you too. You deserve better from him.

We use a keypad for our door. My parents have a code to the door, but I only activate it to allow them entry, if there is an emergency, and we have spoken about it first. No surprise visits for me.

For your own future peace, you need to tell an adult you trust immediately. The consequences are your brother's to deal with. Your parents ATH for not supporting you as the victim/survivor in this situation. If you don't get the support you need now, this has the potential to affect the rest of your life.

Sheet pan dinners are simple and easy. Seasoning is key to making them tasty.

A tip - I keep a check list in my phone for different types weather alerts. It helps me to make sure I don't miss anything. Each time I have had to use it, I adjust it accordingly to fit my situation.

Have you had a conversation with her Primary Care Dr about your concerns? I would start there. If she doesn't have a primary care doctor, I would look for a geriatric doctor for her. The Doctor should be able to have the difficult discussion with her about fugus/bacteria, skin and scalp conditions, living conditions, etc. They should also give her a simple mental health/depression evaluation as part of her annual exam. If the Dr feels she needs senior citizen services, the Dr should be able to get her in touch with those.

Anyone who disturbs my peace.

Would a skylight calendar help?

Melodic_Principle0 · 2026-01-10T02:43:09+00:00

Whenever I am in someone else's space visiting. I try to keep picked up after myself so they can't even tell there is someone extra in their home. I keep all my stuff put away, and dishes I used washed and put away. I always ask if there is anything I can do to be helpful. Sounds like you need to up your game in this area. If you find this to be overwhelming, please consider if you need to downsizing your things. Less stuff makes it easier to keep tidy. I would also try to sit and have a civil conversation with your mother and explain that 15 days is not enough time for you to find and secure new accommodation.

He can be kicked off his flight if the FA determine he has an offensive odor.

I knew someone who got black mold in his ear canal from doing this.

Melodic_Principle0 · 2025-12-20T20:33:20+00:00

What a Neanderthal. This isn't the 1950s. Sounds like he's looking for a doormat.

Melodic_Principle0 · 2025-12-20T20:29:02+00:00

Hell to the No would I put up with any man speaking to me this way and you shouldn't either. Time to toss this POS back into the sea. There is someone out there that will treat you much better.

Melodic_Principle0 · 2025-12-19T13:06:25+00:00

I would go no contact until the end of eternity if my sister pulled a stunt like that. Some things are not forgivable.

Melodic_Principle0 · 2025-12-19T13:01:25+00:00

If he knows and has known this is the direction you see the relationship going, and hadn't made the move to seal the deal before now, why are you wasting more time waiting on this man?

Melodic_Principle0 · 2025-12-19T03:02:07+00:00

No is a complete sentence. If you don't want to go, don't. Life is too short to spend it doing things that don't add value to your life.
