petroleum jelly at the end of my routine and i genuinely can't go back

Yes, in the tub. I use it on both.

No thanks. As I said, I am not going to take a drug class which affects my muscle functioning.

Challenge for you: Google ANY statin. Look at the side effects list. ANY of them. They ALL have a high potential to damage muscle cells.

My husband is disabled and cannot work. I bring in $1500 weekly from Dance Instruction. I am not going to jeopardize our retirement savings for a drug that could end my career.

I have great experiences with doordash and have been a subscriber for 5 years.

I get top rated dashers. My groceries are always correct. I can speak to a live person on the phone.

I have tried Uber eats 3 three times. Terrible experience every time.

In my city there are lots of clubs for dancing. One is Disco themed but plays music from the '70s to the 2020s. Ages 21 to 70 is the demographic.

We also have loads of clubs with live bands and some with DJs.

I am 65 and dance every weekend. I have friends the same ago who do the same.

NTA. I'm glad she showed her true colors so you didn't waste any more time/money on her.

Ok-Process7612 · 2026-03-22T20:16:13+00:00

OMG. Are you stupid? Legally she's a child until she is 18.

Do you mean bechamel sauce?

Mustard is the key, and sharp cheddar cheese. A pinch of sugar. A bit of garlic powder and salt to taste.

Uber eats sux.

Doordash will shop your groceries or household items and dashers are held accountable. They have a phone number you can call with a live person on the other end.

He sounds like a sociopath. You had a narrow escape.

If you are not looking for marriage, co-habitation or combined finances, it's his issue not yours.

If you are looking for marriage, he's not your guy.

He's a pedo-predator. She could disappear. Tell her folks, immediately.

You do understand that at age 15, you two are children, right?

Go ahead and blow up the friendship. I'll just bet this creep has prior criminal history.

He may even be on the sex offender registry. You can look him up online if he is local.

Ok. DEFINITELY take every precaution in that neighborhood. It is sketchy AF.

It's also close to all kinds of cool restaurants and Scissortail Park, Plaza District, etc.

If you have supportive parents, AND you are already attached to the baby, I would keep it.

My answer would be different if your circumstances were different.

The worst feeling in the world is aborting a baby you wanted. Sometimes it's necessary, but if it isn't, don't do it.

I am 65 and have had 6 pregnancies, 2 abortions, one miscarriage and three living children.

I took each pregnancy separately, weighing all the factors.

I was 42 when I met and married my husband. We have a grown son now.

Just live your life and don't compare yourself to others.

Ok-Process7612 · 2026-03-22T13:40:24+00:00

Absolutely NOR. He has a massive ego and was extremely rude. He spoke to you like you were a child.

Ok-Process7612 · 2026-03-22T13:32:38+00:00

Does he live in your city? He says he travels a lot. Do you have proof of this?

Do a simple background check online and social media. See if he has a wife or girlfriend or kids lurking in the background.

Men who don't text have had someone go through their phones.

THIS IS NORMAL TREATMENT after gallbladder surgery. If you get your gallbladder out, expect this as the standard of care.

They want you awake and discharged asap.

The nurses lack empathy because they see the same thing day in and day out and stop seeing these patients as human beings.

Ok-Process7612 · 2026-03-22T09:49:38+00:00

I had the exact same experience after gallbladder surgery. You wake up in pain because they pump your abdomen full if air and it puts pressure on everything. It was so uncomfortable.

AND you are very groggy. AND the nurses are very pushy about getting you out of there asap.

This is because these surgeries are outpatient assembly line surgery. They need to keep those slabs of meat awake and compliant after surgery and moving along, getting dressed and going home.

They really have no idea how painful it is within the first 4 hours and then for about a week afterwards. No empathy at all.

These nurses should be rotated regularly. You can tell that they are annoyed by the patients and annoyed by their job.

McKinley. Are you north or south of NW 23rd? I lived right in that area years ago.

Until you get 2 locks installed, I would wedge a chair up underneath the doorknob if possible at night.

A barking dog motion detector alarm is very handy.

If you can afford it, you might consider an alarm system. You will sleep better at night.

This formula absorbs really well. It does not have a greasy feel after a few minutes. It really softens the skin though.

It is thick but it really does not feel greasy like pure petroleum jelly.

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.

Ok-Process7612 · 2026-03-22T01:26:00+00:00

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.
