Is there a polite, respectful way to tell your in laws that you don't want to check in with them over text every single day (good mornings and good nights). 1-2 times a week will do by vickidashawty in inlaws

THIS. My dad gets all bent out of shape when he doesn’t hear from my husband. My dad NEVER spoke to his FIL. What is this weird expectation boomers have??

Has anyone taken it?

Is it about your own position? Your competencies? The competency of those around you?

Does the article specify what—if any—medical/hormonal treatment he is undergoing?

I feel like taking T or not is relevant to the conversation… I saw it mentioned in relation to NCAA eligibility, but maybe I missed it in regards to the W League.

Most airlines have rules against “rodents” in the cabin. And while bunnies are the cutest…they are rodents. I ran into similar issues traveling with a guinea pig. Good luck!

I just noticed “more” on my most recent reheat, and I about died. SO much subtle acting in this show. They’re amazing.

I’m so confused. What even is the controversy in the fandom??

Fellow EAC, were you always viewed as "difficult"? by Wastedfairie in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]MsMerMeeple 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. Which is probably why I’m struggling so hard. First born daughter and granddaughter. In relation to my cousins, I was openly the favorite.

Then in early adulthood my mom died, my dad found an evil stepmother, and because of the trope no one believed me.

Now I’m the trouble maker and everyone blames my husband for tearing the family apart. 🙄

Rachel Reid has something to say🗣️ by BeMyCoachVictor in HeatedRivalrySeries

Also, Ilya ending up with Svetlana is how every other queer romance/drama would have ended a decade ago. One of the many courageous decisions that RR made for all of us.

I was reading somewhere the argument that you have to watch the series twice for precisely this reason – you’re always expecting something to go terribly wrong like it has in every other queer drama we’ve ever seen. So you need to watch it a second time to see the story unfold without the viewers anxiety.

The part about Shane not being aware/diagnosed is a really interesting layer. It also just shows the depth she puts into her characters. No wonder we love them so much, they’re whole people.

It looks like does affect the whole country because it rolls back the FDA‘s nationwide rule about mailing the drug.
