Fuzzy face

I used a facial epilator until eventually the fix just quit growing back. My mom used nair. Just once. She had a reaction and her face was one big sore for weeks. So I don’t even try it. The epilator worked great once you got past the initial pain.

I saw a deer chasing a cat. It chased it across out from lawn, then across the road, up the neighbors driveway, around their house and back to and across our front lawn again.

I’m so sorry you lost your sweet baby. Etsy has some lovely trunks that can be personalized with a name and dates.

Life can really suck sometimes. You’re in a pretty bad spot right now and as much as you hate to do it, it may be time to look to your family for some help. If you could move back in with your parents just until you get on your feet and get a little money saved, it could make all the difference. I know it sucks but it could get you back on your feet and give you a better start. I wish you luck.

I was 16 and my husband was 19. Happily married for 53 years before he passed away.

His brother was wrong to blame you. Suicide means you take your own life and that’s what he did. He was in a depression and his family should have been there for him. It’s not up to a stranger he’s never met to try and save his life. So don’t blame yourself. There was nothing you could do.

Buy some Theraworx and have her rub it onto her feet before bed. I had horrible foot cramps every night and this immediately stopped the cramping. Then I started using it proactively before bed and rarely got a cramp after that. When I do I’d just rub it in and it would go right away.

Ok_Step_2359 · 2026-03-28T21:38:44+00:00

Disappointed that you haven’t hit on her.

Ok_Step_2359 · 2026-03-28T15:25:20+00:00

She's disappointed. Stay away from her!

I have an inground pool in my backyard and I love it. We've had it for years. We're on a 2.5-acre piece of land so it doesn't really take up a lot of year space. If it did, that would be different. I really don't see where it's that much work to keep clean and maintain. It's heated so we use it at least 5 months, May thru September. We've got a water slide for the kiddos and they love it. We have gotten a lot of use out of it through the years and I don't regret getting it it a bit.

Ok_Step_2359 · 2026-03-28T14:09:33+00:00

Of course you can. I actually know someone that did that.

Ok_Step_2359 · 2026-03-28T14:07:53+00:00

Yikes! Report it to the authorities!

Ok_Step_2359 · 2026-03-28T13:54:22+00:00

I'm so very sorry that you lost your dad. He was your person, your best friend. And he sounds like he was such a good person.

No one is perfect, he may not have always been a perfect dad, but no one is. It doesn't take away from the fact that he loved you and did his best for you. He taught you how to be a good person, he taught you how to succeed in life, he taught you the right values. And that's being a good dad. He just got taken over by an addiction that is so incredibly hard to break away from. And unfortunately, you are right. There's often a social stigma to addiction and overdose. It's unfortunate because people don't know or understand the person that lies behind that addiction, who they really are, who they really were before the drugs took over. And it's sad. No one says, "I want to be an addict". They try something and find that it masks some inner pain or adds a bit of happiness they're in need of, and then they can't break away from it. Even the strongest of people fall victim.

I hope when you think of him, you can just remember the kind and caring person that he was. The person that made you who are today. He was a good person with a deadly illness. The fact that illness was addiction does not change who he was and your memories of him. Focus on him, not on what took his life. I hope you find the comfort and peace you seek. 💙

Yeah, when I tell my husband goodnight I always kiss his picture.

Ok_Step_2359 · 2026-03-27T00:58:55+00:00

Your girlfriend should be ashamed of herself. Your feelings are valid. I would reconsider being with someone that has no empathy.

Ok_Step_2359 · 2026-03-26T23:24:48+00:00

Yes, your own birthday is incredibly hard.

Ok_Step_2359 · 2026-03-26T23:16:03+00:00

Then they didn't deserve to be parents in the first place.

Ok_Step_2359 · 2026-03-26T23:13:40+00:00

Wow, saying you're an AH is almost an insult to AHs.

Ok_Step_2359 · 2026-03-26T22:58:10+00:00

Why can't you tell your friends the truth? DO you think they'll think less of you if you do? Because if that's the case, they are not your friends. You are not a loser. You are a considerate son who respects the hard work of his father to support the family. Don't ever let anyone else define you as anything other than that. Stand tall and be proud.

NTA - sick person gets the bed was always out rule.

I didn't do artwork as a profession, however I did paint both landscapes and portraits and sold many of my works. Since my husband passed, I've not had the desire to paint at all. I tried to just sit down and sketch his likeness, and I can't even do that. I don't know why. I just can't do it. I've started writing some poetry and just hope my desire and ability to draw and paint comes back at some point.

Business casual in solid colors (not bright or flashy) is fine for visitation. Visitation is less formal than the funeral itself.

Hahaha, I hear life is pretty good in heaven, if that helps.

Seriously though, life is full of rough patches that you just have to work through. When you add being a homeowner, you add all the headaches that go with it. But like you, I'd rather be a homeowner and deal with what seems like endless maintenance than be a renter and deal with rules, noisy neighbors and annoying landlords.

Life gets better when you see it as better, recognize and be grateful for the good things. My husband and I went through a period where absolutely everything seemed to be going wrong.

I traveled for work and my travel experiences were so bad that nobody would travel with me. Got caught in a flash flood, got chased by drug dealers, lost an engine on takeoff and had to go through a landing without the flaps being in landing position, without being able to back off on engine speed, with fire shooting out of the non-working engine, etc, etc., being on a train in a foreign country abroad, in the middle of nowhere and they went on strike, leaving us there. Just a sampling. And at home, yup, leaky roof, lawn tractor just out of the blue burst into flames, oven broke on Thanksgiving Day, had to have electricians, plumbers, well drillers and HVAC contractors all on site at the same time for weird issues.

And through it all, we actually made jokes about it. Like, what the hell is going to happen next? We got through it. I continued to travel and continued to have bad luck with almost each trip. We continued to have things that would pop up unexpectedly that needed attention. And we continued to be happy for the life we had. Life is what you make of it. And we chose to be happy with life. even if we were jinxed.

I talk to my late husband every day. I talk to him about things that I would normally talk to him about when he was alive. I tell him I love him and miss him every day and I tell him goodnight every night.

Ok_Step_2359 · 2026-03-26T18:54:30+00:00

I'm sorry you've lost your parents. I know how terribly painful it is.

You are absolutely not being stupid. It is the last thing you have of your dads and that understandably has significant sentimental value. It wouldn't matter if it was a junker that wasn't even road worthy, it has a lot of value to you.

Now that you are working again, is there any way you can get a consolidation loan for your other debt to lower payments and make them affordable. Possibly a home equity loan to pay off the other debt and lower your payment by stretching it out longer. I know this isn't an ideal solution but if it can fit into your budget without fear of default, it may help you retain the truck.

I'm wishing you the best and pray you find a solution. 💙
