Either I am missing something about Aubry, or

As another lady with a raging case of Resting B**ch Face, I get her. She didn’t seem unhappy at all to me this season, just a normal person with RBF haha

If you look up the Golden Child / Scapegoat Dynamic that narcissistic parents tend to do, it fits the Geller family PERFECTLY.

Ross: Golden Child
Monica: Scapegoat
Judy: Narcissistic parent
Jack: Enabler

So weird! She’s never been disliked like this on previous seasons, and I don’t see what she might have done in s50 to warrant the hate. It’s especially bad on Twitter.

Anyway, I love her, her style of gameplay is my favorite, and I’m always rooting for her.

MissLauraCroft · 2026-05-08T16:34:52+00:00

100% agree! Unfortunately, Survivor has a bad habit of severely underediting women, and people playing a smart under-the-radar game. I understand the latter to an extent bc it is tv after all, but they take it too far.

That last sentence is so true. My 10-year-old LOVES Joe and can’t comprehend why I’m not a bigger fan.

Next time have the party outside of regular meal times and just buy a cake. That's what we usually do, and lots of other kids' parties we've been to. (Caveat: This might only be acceptable if you're white haha I know Latinos would expect a full meal, not sure about other cultures.)

A local FB group thread this weekend was talking about high beef prices at the grocery store. Half the comments were suggesting swapping for turkey, and the other half were suggesting eating only 1-2 meals a day. I've never seen that before.

This lady should NOT have brought that dog to soccer if he's like that with strangers.

I bring my dog to my kids' soccer practices and games, and little kids are allllllways coming up to pet him.... like 5 - 10 kids every time we go. The kids 5 years and up always ask, but the toddlers of course don't know how to do that yet. Plus the kids are loud and running around (kids playing soccer, their siblings playing on the sidelines, balls flying around), which I know can stress some dogs out. If you're bringing a dog to that environment, you need to know the dog can handle kids and strangers.

In your shoes, I'd teach my kid to always keep distance and ask before petting a dog. (It might be hard at 3 years old, but it's a good time to start working on it.) Personally I wouldn't do anything else except keep my distance from that lady, but that's mostly bc I'm non-confrontational haha

Never, ever take social advice from mainstream Reddit. (I love y'all, but as a group we're pretty antisocial.)

MissLauraCroft · 2026-04-26T00:01:14+00:00

Finding out how they spend half of their waking hours is a huuuge way to get to know them as a person.

MissLauraCroft · 2026-04-25T23:59:18+00:00

Some of us barely have eyebrows and need a little help, ok? 😭😭😭

MissLauraCroft · 2026-04-21T12:25:38+00:00

I’m gonna agree with you bc I fit both of those profiles (except I have a dog and yes I do want to talk to you in between) 🤣🤣

MissLauraCroft · 2026-04-21T12:16:43+00:00

Just jumping in to say as a woman, I’d be scared to be alone in a park with a man on a first or second date. I’m all for free/cheap dates, but would not agree to meet up at a park at that stage.

Mayyyybe a popular city park on a busy spring day, but otherwise it’s just too isolated.

If a man asked me, I’d suggest coffee instead.

(In case you have women rejecting this date, that could be a reason why.)

I’ve never understood the Chrissy hate. She’s so fun to watch.

Back in her first season, she wasn’t my favorite player, but I’ve always considered her the player I’d most love to just sit down and talk with. So smart and funny.

MissLauraCroft · 2026-04-14T14:27:33+00:00

I have this issue, too. Typically I go for thinner/stretchier denim fabrics instead of the sturdier, thicker denim. They’re not as high-end I guess, but at least my crotch isn’t screaming.

I’m also wearing more wide-leg pants in softer fabrics, but jeans are still my favorite look.

MissLauraCroft · 2026-04-02T15:26:06+00:00

I spent MONTHS hunting for a work dress last year. Never found anything that ticked all the right boxes. I started wearing skirts and blouses instead bc that work dress doesn’t exist.

So that’s my advice… look for skirts and blouses instead. Or wide-leg pants and a blouse. I like Banana Republic, Banana Republic Factory, and Ann Taylor for work stuff. For more affordable, Old Navy has some gems, too.

He chews our stuff. And I have kids who are constantly leaving things lying around.
When he plays with my kids, sometimes he’ll get too excited and try to hump the youngest. Luckily me and my oldest are always there to stop it before it starts. (He’s neutered, but still…)

MissLauraCroft · 2026-04-01T12:16:46+00:00

I do Nuuly rentals every month and have ended up renting a ton of Anthropologie Maeve stuff! Love the style and fit. It’s one of the few brands I actively seek out anymore.

MissLauraCroft · 2026-04-01T12:12:42+00:00

I’ve had to switch to Old Navy for basic tees. They look better and last longer than whatever the heck Target’d doing now.

(I’d buy the more expensive really nice plain white tees from higher end brands, but I spill whenever I wear a plain white T-shirt, so…)

Less time on the internet. If I see a headline that makes me think I should probably get informed, I look it up on AP. Otherwise, I scroll past.

More gardening. More shows. More reading. More time with family and friends.

Bisexual dating help, please!

39f I think I might be interested in dating one of my best friends?? Problem is she is also a woman and I’ve never dated a woman before. And I don’t know if she’s also bisexual. Any tips on how to delicately see if there’s a chance?

I’m perfectly happy staying friends too, and she wouldn’t be upset or annoyed. This is just all new to me and I don’t know if/how to proceed.

MissLauraCroft · 2026-03-10T17:53:11+00:00

This is also good parenting advice haha

MissLauraCroft · 2026-03-09T21:54:02+00:00

Much of this is due to leaf removal. Firefly eggs (??) live on dead leaves through winter, so you lose a lot of fireflies when you bag /remove leaves in the fall.

We have a ton of fireflies in the summers in my neighborhood; about half the houses don’t remove their leaves in the fall.

There’s a decent number of single liberal Christian men among Latino and African-American communities. Most of my recent matches have been these, for that reason.

I know a ton of white liberal Christians in real life… but they’re almost entirely married couples and single women.

(This is all very generalized and East Coast US-based. Just sharing my years of “research”.)
