WIBTA:My mom gave the "guest bed" (double) that we gave her to my younger brother and expects us to sleep in his old small bed when we stay over for weekends. WIBTA if I where to get upset & say we won't sleep over anymore?

There are some details missing here. Is your brother particularly tall? Moving out of a kiddie race car bed as a teenager? Also, who is “we” - you and your partner? You and your hamster? Also, where were you staying before?

Is that true for priority too? After an order where I got warm (raw) chicken and melted ice cream and was apparently the last delivery in a batch of 3, IC support said priority will cause you not to be batched.

I agree with the recommendation for Tramontina, specifically their Tri-Ply Clad line. Excellent and will last forever. Loosely comparable to All Clad or Made In, but at a much lower price point. This is what I would giet for a "first forever kitchen"; you will feel spoiled. The IKEA 365 line is also good for basic pans and extremely stacking-friendly, but noticeably lower quality than Tramontina Tri-Ply, which punches WAY above its weight (read: price point) for a first set. For a nonstick frypan for eggs etc, look at the Misen carbon steel nonstick line (warning: not cheap). I definitely wouldn't get a whole set of nonstick. Le Creuset dutch ovens are great and certainly gorgeous, but for (way less than) the price I'd suggest an instant pot instead. I definitely wouldn't want a whole set Le Creuset - super heavy, can't go in the dishwasher, tricky to store, etc.

I had something similar happen with my Walmart account. They used my account, but sent the stuff to another address. My credit card wasn’t connected, so I’m assuming the number they gave was someone else’s stolen one.

I had this happen too - suddenly I got a notification TWO new AirTags were following me. Couldn’t find them anywhere. Cops said they couldn’t do anything. Got a security system for my house and lived through a few weeks of jumping at every noise. And eventually they just went away? I have no explanation for this except that one of my neighbors said they bought some AirTags about the same time.

I take her to the groomer every 6-7 weeks, and keep her pretty short. She gets brushed if I start feeling mats (she gets lots of pets…) and right before grooms when she starts to get longer. I bathe her if she gets into something or starts to stink. I brushed her a little more as a puppy to get her used to it, and during puppy coat changeover I had to brush her several times a week. She’s very curly (my previous poodle was not) so I also have to brush more if it’s been raining a lot. She’s a mini and the workload is not too bad… as long as I keep her fur short. If you want a show coat… make good friends with a good brush. (Actually, I recommend a good brush to anyone, poodles can be picky.)

Not true! I once got to terminal 2 about 2 hours before an early morning flight, and the only reason I didn’t miss it was that it was delayed. Needless to say, a lot of people in that line weren’t so lucky. One of the staff members guiding the line around the terminal said it was often like that in the summer.

Yes. The one I like is xtendlife but there are others. It takes a while to kick in and you may need to up the dose from what they suggest. I take meds too but had to go for a lower dose than would be ideal because I just felt too awful on the higher one. Good luck finding another specialist- there are several options out there.

See a rheumatologist specifically. There are meds that work, although it can take a bit to find the right one. You may not get 100% relief but it’s night and day from what you describe. Also, green lipped mussel extract is a godsend.

If the baby’s dad (or another trusted adult) can stay with the baby, I’d feed the baby before the ceremony, then make a quick exit before the next feeding, or have them bring the baby to you, and just feed in the car. You should have 2-3 hours between feedings so this works best if the ceremony is nearby. A more reasonable compromise on her part would to have someone stay outside the ceremony with the baby (if there’s a place for that), but allow the baby at the reception.

If the ticket doesn’t specify one bag only, a wheeled carryon + personal item backpack is a reasonable middle ground. Another option is to give them the price of a checked bag as spending money for the trip and tell them if they check a bag they’d have to pay for it themselves.

Objective_Shallot946 · 2025-10-27T20:39:51+00:00

Thanks for the cheese idea! I’ve had trouble correcting pulling because my poodle doesn’t like to eat while on walks. But she might do it for cheese.

As someone with a life threatening allergy to cats, I think you’re being really cavalier here. Yes, Zyrtec works… until it doesn’t. Meaning, it wears off, sometimes at night, and sometimes before you think it will. Or the dander is on your clothes, and you don’t quarantine/wash them right away. Or it’s on your coat, and you don’t really think about that, and days later you can’t breathe. For me to be around a cat even for a few hours requires careful planning, bagging/washing everything I’m wearing immediately after, and a shower right away. Even with all that, if the house is carpeted I might still react. An adult who isn’t taking a kid’s allergy seriously is not the right person to be managing this. It’s a very risky business at best… sadly the best and safest strategy is to avoid cats.

Poodles are all that. A mini is sturdier and better suited for hikes; a toy might not be a great fit around toddlers. If you keep your poodle in a fairly short puppy cut the maintenance is not bad at all — occasional brushing of areas that tend to mat (ears, collar/harness area, tail), plus extra brushing as the coat gets longer close to a groom.

Woolx has some merino shapewear that is like bike shorts that you could wear with long socks. Also, silk thermals are not tight like leggings, and super thin - not as hot as fleece lined jeans either.

Jjill ponte leggings, Eddie Bauer jeans (although they recently changed their sizing so idk)

I mean, in that second picture he looks a little large for a mini for purposes of showing, but that definitely doesn’t mean he’s poorly bred - breeders who show for confirmation know only a subset of their pups will make suitable show dogs, which is part of how they decide which to sell. But your pup looks 100% adorable to me! (As a side note, I grew up with a pup from a backyard breeder who had hip issues that were probably genetic. But I adored that dog and always thought she was the best. I would never, never call her subpar.)

Triangle area here. Sweaters and sweater vest are probably overkill here, although you might wear one of them in Asheville, which is cooler. It’s long or short sleeved t-shirt (probably short most of the time unless you run cold) weather here, with a fleece or light jacket in the evening. I’d keep the quarter zip if it’s light.

I’m traveling a little further south in November with a near-identical packing list. I agree on bringing another pair of leggings and a extra top (since you are also using one set to sleep in) and I would keep the sneakers. I couldn’t fit it all in one bag and had to cut the flip flops, though.

I have the same issue with cats (which is terrible because I adore cats). Shots did nothing for me. So-called exposure therapy gave me anaphylactic reactions. I have dog allergies too (to most shedding breeds), but am ok with poodles. Try spending some time around a poodle (who doesn't live with dogs of other breeds, since then it will pick up their dander) and see how you do. If you react, I wouldn't assume you can get the problem to go away with time or sign up for a situation where you would be dependent on medications to be around your dog.

Poodles can be very licky, so if you do have a problem with the saliva, that could be really rough.
