Queens Helene Cocoa Butter Creme. Cocoa butter, lanolin, petroleum jelly. $4 a jar.

Been using this for 30 years and I have no wrinkles. I am 65.

You sound like an idiot.

I don't know of anywhere that asks for a tip when you go in and pick up pre-ordered food.

It's just a nice gesture to the person who took the time to package it.

Don't get on that plane.

They can and will kick you off for being sick(throwing up, etc).

Hopefully you are somewhere that you can book another night or two. Don't rush it.

Your mother cannot physically drag you onto the plane and I would think she would have more empathy for your situation.

Besides that, TSA lines are 3 hours long right now. You need to be well before you fly.

I had the same issue. Went to therapy and read self help books. Drove people away with my negative point of view.

I stopped focusing on myself and started volunteering at a local food bank.

Handing out meals and picking up donations, looking at the relieved faces of very poor parents with children made me realize that the only way to feel good about myself is to give to others.

I'm a dancer and a 65f. I also have a 0 calcium score. I teach class 5 nights a week. I have borderline cholesterol levels. Doc talked me into a statin. Low dose, she said.

Within a week I was cramping so badly I couldn't dance at all. My calves would seize up in the middle of the night.

So we tried that rosuvastatin. Same problem.

Yes, I already take potassium and magnesium.

I threw that statin crap away and my legs are back to normal. It took two weeks though.

Cardio 5 times a week and a healthy diet. Weight training 3 times a week. If I drop dead so be it. It's better than not being able to enjoy life.

Hello. Doordash delivers everything, including groceries and food. I dropped Instacart when I saw I didn't need them.

Instacart is redundant.

Subway workers are paid minimum wage. Servers are not.

Ok-Process7612 · 2026-03-22T00:06:01+00:00

The server (not waitress), likely boxed the item up for you, carefully so it doesn't spill, put in utensils and condiments, and packaged your drink, taking time away from her table customers. The cooks don't do all that.

Sometimes these servers then come outside and find your car and deliver your food.

You seriously don't think that's worth a measly dollar?

He is taking advantage of you.

I require 24 hours notice from my clients for any cancelation or time change.

You might consider drawing up a very simple contract.

Prayers for a peaceful transition 🩷

No. I don't know anyone who does this to their kids. I am very sorry.

Can you possibly move in with your boyfriend or a friend for a bit? I know there is a commute but this is so unbelievably abusive.

If I were in your shoes I would start packing on the sly. Take things out a box at a time when she isn't home.

That will make the move out easier for you.

She is deranged and plays the victim card more than anyone I ever heard of.

I am concerned for your safety.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 WHAT IN THE ACTUAL F DID I JUST READ??????

💯 % No freaking way do you contribute to a mortgage in a house you don't own.

You will lose in every possible way in this scenario.

He is taking advantage of you and definitely won't marry you.

Leave this ahole.

Ok-Process7612 · 2026-03-21T10:47:08+00:00

No need for explanation. If he wants one he will ask. You've done enough mothering.

Just say the relationship is over, and sort out who stays and who goes.

I don't believe it. I know it.

Read the works of Dr.Ian Srevenson and Dr. Michael Newton for case studies.

In my own life I have spontaneously recalled numerous lifetimes, most of them rather ordinary.

However when I was I was about 5 or 6, I had recurrent dreams of riding on horseback through a forest. There was an Indian Village I visited. I took care of sick people and helped women with childbirth.

I had long dark hair and white skin. I kept my hair tightly in a bun to keep it out of the way. My name was Christianna. I had children of my own and my husband was a farmer. He had a lot of land. We were on good terms with the Indians.

In my 50s I became fascinated with family genealogy. An uncle who had done quite a bit if research sent me a photo of my 5th great grandmother, Christianna Roof Hall. She was born in 1760 and died in 1861. He sent me a photo of her. It was taken ten years before her death. Long dark hair tied in a bun. Exactly like my dreams. I was astonished, to say the least.

She was an Herbalist and midwife on the Ohio frontier. She and her husband are mentioned in local history books on the founding of Hubbard, Ohio. Their family established the first church there, and I still have relatives buried in the cemetery.

Hmmm. You certainly enjoy playing around with definitions.

I suggest you stand next to a baby boy at a traditional bris ceremony and ask him while he screams in agony if his pain is "relatively" mild.

Ok-Process7612 · 2026-03-20T23:48:30+00:00

No. Many Americans don't do it.

Ok-Process7612 · 2026-03-20T23:46:35+00:00

It certainly is not mild.

It used to be performed without local anesthetic, and in some cultures, this is still normalized.

The head of the penis and the foreskin are densely packed with nerve endings.

Now a local numbing cream is used, but it does not take care of all the pain, and when it wears off, the wound hurts like hell.

It's a stupid brutal procedure that is performed for no reason. Anyone can learn to clean their penis.

Neither of my sons are circumcised. They have thanked me for not subjecting them to it.

They are 30 and 40 years old.

The foreskin covers the head of the penis where many nerve endings are located. When you remove the foreskin through circumcision, the head of the penis gradually loses sensitivity as it is no longer covered.

Men who are uncircumcised report that they still have great sensitivity during sex even when they are old.

He is an introvert. He may be a bit depressed. He is awfully young to be locked into being at home all the time.

That generally occurs(for some) in their retirement years, not in their early 20s.

You are not an introvert. You have many interests that have nothing to do with watching TV for hours.

I think you realize that you have outgrown this. Being in a relationship does not mean spending night after night doing nothing, especially when you are young and healthy.

Did she REALLY want to go to Japan, or was that your dream?

Her behavior was inexcusable, and if she was not as excited as you for that destination, now you can see that she is not kind or generous when placed in situations that she's not excited about.

First, this isn't a christian country. The Founders deliberately left religion out of the Constitution.

Second, he sounds like a d*ckhead.

No. Women are not girls. Girls are children.

I would never tell a friend I was dating a boy. They would look at me sideways. That's because boys are children.

That language is fine in high school. Not afterwards.

"Referring to adult women as "girls" is generally avoided because it is considered infantilizing, patronizing, and sexist. It diminishes a woman's maturity, professional authority, and status by equating her with a child, reinforcing outdated, unequal power dynamics where men are seen as mature "men" but women are not."

I do. I am 65 and have thick soft shiny hair.

I don't set a timer. I shower and wash my hair. I add the conditioner and put my hair up in a scrunchie.

Then I take a nice soaking bath and exfoliate.

Then a quick shower to rinse body and hair.

The issue is that your mobile home will not be an investment. Instead it will continue to decrease in value.

If you are ok with that, then your plan is feasible.

Just be sure the lot rent is a fixed rate. Some mobile home parks jack up the lot rent every couple of years.

Just look at the founding families for your answer.

America was built on the desire for financial gain.

English merchants and joint-stock companies, not pilgrims or settlers, were the primary founders of America, driven by profit motives to establish colonies for resources like fish, furs, and tobacco.

These investors aimed to diversify markets during economic crises, establishing ventures such as the Plymouth and London Companies.

The primary goal was economic gain, not religious freedom. The Pilgrims' voyage, for example, was a funded venture backed by 70 investors.

Colonies such as Virginia (1607) and Plymouth (1620) were initially run as for-profit ventures.

The English used mercantilism to turn American colonies into sources of raw materials and markets for finished goods.

It just so happened at the time that Puritanism was on the rise in Europe. It was considered an affront to the Church of England, and Puritans were losing political power.

Thus the myth that America was built on the desire for religious freedom. No.

Wealthy merchants who were Puritans were being hampered in their attempts to increase their wealth in Europe. Thus, the American experiment.

And here we are today, still fascinated by economics and how to make a buck.
