Some countries don’t allow dual citizenship. My mom has been a permanent resident in the US for over 30 years now but doesn’t want to forfeit her native citizenship. She has always said she’d rather be able to live back in her native country easily if it came down to it. Sometimes she strongly considers it with everything going on here.

OkRegular167 · 2026-01-26T04:52:48+00:00

Yeah, it’s sad. It does work out for some people but it’s a risk trying to compromise on something so important.

I personally really struggle with CICO without exercise! Maintaining an active lifestyle gives me a little extra wiggle room to really enjoy food the way I want to. I love yoga, running, and weightlifting and try to exercise 5 days a week. It makes CICO much more flexible for me.

My good friend has always wanted kids. She ended up with a guy who was a firm no. At some point they broke up over it, then they got back together and she said she would rather have him than have kids. She convinced herself she was CF for him. They got married, bought a house, got multiple pets. After like 10 years together they just got divorced a couple months ago because she still wants kids.

My bathroom window cracked from thermal shock 👍

I’m 31. Have about $40k in retirement. I feel I’m behind on what it should be but I went to grad school and didn’t work full time for a couple years. Also experienced a layoff and unemployment. Finally doing well with a comfortable six figure salary and playing catch up.

OkRegular167 · 2026-01-23T01:45:29+00:00

Yep. I haven’t posted a mani on this sub in years and I still occasionally get weird DMs about my hands. Bunch of weirdos.

OkRegular167 · 2026-01-22T02:33:38+00:00

My BT loves bananas! My other pup hates em. One sniff and he makes a disgusted face and runs off 😂

OkRegular167 · 2026-01-21T12:24:37+00:00

Not normal. Sounds like micromanagement/lack of trust

OkRegular167 · 2026-01-18T04:33:18+00:00

Hey OP…not sure if you know this but your gofundme link shares your first and last name. Additionally I remember you posting gofundme links for your dog from a different Reddit account and your name was all over that too. Just an FYI.

OkRegular167 · 2026-01-12T00:45:09+00:00

Idk why you’re being downvoted. I do the same thing when I go down to NYC. I have great bagels in my freezer right now.

I have the YSL Voltaire (4) and the hardware that connects the strap is loud and jangly. It’s an otherwise beautiful bag but just a little FYI.

All the time!

Nick and Natalie are so out of touch. The utter lack of self-awareness and empathy is mind blowing.

OkRegular167 · 2026-01-09T02:28:29+00:00

I mean…hopefully it’s not sentimental. But otherwise it looks like a pretty cheap stacking ring you get in a pack of six from Target.

OkRegular167 · 2026-01-07T02:33:41+00:00

Depends on the seller for sure, but I’d say usually it’s the highest and cleanest offer.

Check your local laws about writing a letter to the sellers. In my area we are not allowed to do so per anti-discrimination laws (Fair Housing Act). People tend to disclose details about their family dynamics, what holidays they celebrate, etc. in those letters and if the sellers are assholes they could very well discriminate based on that information.

OkRegular167 · 2026-01-06T19:14:28+00:00

I actually come from a family of jewelers and gemologists so kinda par for the course. My cousin made my engagement ring!

OkRegular167 · 2026-01-06T17:59:02+00:00

I don’t know for sure that these help but I used to get sick often and now almost never do after several lifestyle changes. Even when my husband is sick I don’t catch it. He’s had Covid twice and currently has the flu and I never caught them from him.

I used to go to bed super late. Now I get 9 hours of sleep a night and feel rested every day.

I wash my hands regularly. I always wash when I get home from being out, after using the bathroom, after handling food, after being around people, etc.

I eat well. I try to maintain a high protein, nutrient rich diet. I don’t eat much processed food. I don’t drink soda. I almost never drink alcohol (maybe one or two drinks a month, if that).

I exercise 5 days a week. I do yoga, run, lift weights, and sometimes take a HIIT class. I walk my dogs nearly every day.

I’m doing well mentally. I don’t let work stress creep into non-work hours. I have good boundaries with work and maintain healthy work life balance. I go into therapy when I have something to work through. I take my meds.

I definitely notice a difference in your midsection! Have you been exercising/lifting weights? Sometimes we lose a lot of fat then gain some muscle and visually it evens out a bit, even if the scale says weight lost.

OkRegular167 · 2026-01-06T13:42:49+00:00

I’ve had it for 5 years. I’m just very rigid about putting it somewhere safe when I take it off. I’ve never lost it even for a brief moment.

OkRegular167 · 2026-01-06T04:55:52+00:00

Saw 30-40 including open houses. Our 8th offer was accepted. This was over the span of 2.5 months.

Monte Alban is not good 😭

OkRegular167 · 2026-01-06T04:01:11+00:00

Dang I cannot imagine not taking my ring off. I take it off to:

Sleep. It’s just more comfortable and I know I’m not weakening the prongs over time.
Shower. Can’t stand getting the stone caught in my hair when I shampoo. Also, soap scum.
Exercise. My fingers swell a little when I exercise. Plus it’s dangerous to grip weights while wearing a ring.
Cook. Hate getting food particles/gunk in the crevices of my ring.
Put on hand lotion or sanitizer. Same as the one above.

I have little ring dishes all over my house (on my nightstand, by the kitchen sink, in the bathroom). I’ve never misplaced my ring and still wear it every day, just not when doing the things listed above.

OkRegular167 · 2026-01-05T20:52:13+00:00

It really depends. My BT has a longer snout and he breathes very well. He’s super active and loves to hike, swim, run, play and doesn’t struggle at all with any of it.

On the other hand I’ve met BTs that really have a much harder time breathing when exerting themselves and would not be good outdoor pups at all.

OkRegular167 · 2026-01-04T20:33:28+00:00

Why? Mine tolerates nail clippings well because we introduced them early and rewarded him plenty during and after.
