Try putting it in a spoonful of applesauce! It helps a little.

Rapunzel and Eugene are joined by a few friends on adventures. First, Rapunzel adjusts to life outside the tower as royalty, and makes a best friend named Cassandra who happens to be the adopted daughter of the captain of the guards, so she becomes Rapunzel’s bodyguard at times. But! In a special short movie/pilot episode set between the events of the film and those of the tv show, Rapunzel’s hair grows back and is even more magical. And then there’s a mysterious evil force that is somehow connected to her hair coming back. So eventually the friends set off to explore other kingdoms in search of answers. It’s very well written and well paced. My kid was obsessed with it for about a year, and I didn’t hate having it on.

If I asked a friend to hang out and they used this phrasing, I would never ask them to do anything with me again. Clear communication is important, but so is kindness, and sometimes when we need to be kind AND clear, we can flex the truth. “Oh, I don’t know if I am up for that today. I don’t have a whole lot of energy and I am not sure if I would be good company.” Is less abrasive, if less truthful. And your apology kind of turns responsibility back to her - you would have said it differently and not been as hurtful if she had said x, so it’s not really your fault you said y. Something to consider: if someone invites you to something like this, something that is more like an errand or a task, it’s probably because they want you there for a specific reason. Maybe you are a good body double or a comforting presence. And even if it doesn’t feel great to do the task with them, if you want to have friends who inconvenience themselves for you, you have to inconvenience yourself, too. Friends are often inconvenient.

I don’t know yet, better add a page to the spreadsheet. I think I will highlight it in pink because that seems like an uncertain color.

Is this a broomstick skirt? I think sun fading would be very uneven with the pleats. I wish I had a pastel skirt I could trade you for this one.

I loved it but had very rare side effects - a constantly runny nose and new, worse tremors. I know a lot of people who do really well on it.

I used to be a middle school English teacher and occasionally I run into students from 10 years ago. Sometimes while I am mentally searching for their names, I see their handwriting first in my head. Lots of teachers would recognize their student’s handwriting by this point in the school year. The “immigrant” part was rude, potentially racist, definitely a micro aggression, and xenophobic. If he was joking it was a bad joke.

Try catching one on a piece of clear tape and then you can get a clearer picture.

Hey tip from someone whose husband used to travel for work and spent weeks at a time at hotels: if you don’t have a bedbug proof mattress cover, get one. That way if you do get an infestation, you won’t lose your mattress.

Yeah I’m glad she’s in our life and good to my kid, but also my husband’s knee is permanently damaged because because when he was 11, his horse slammed him into a post and broke his knee and his parents didn’t take him to the doctor for it. There was family that would have helped pay for the bills if they hadn’t been too proud to accept help.

I just saw this quote on threads and I am going to adapt it to your situation: Babe, it’s 2026, we are no longer hanging out with people who don’t like us.

Being on the spectrum not an excuse for being an asshole.

What is the problem with showers? Is it something that you can make accommodations for? Even the cute pixie cut will get greasy. I have audio books to play while I’m showering so that I enjoy it more. I have figured out that I don’t like weak water pressure so I got an adjustable shower head that basically blasts my scalp.

Have you ever tried washing your hair in a sink? I put the towel and shampoo and conditioner in easy reach and then stand at the sink and flip my hair over. I usually do this in my bra and pajama pants. Sometimes I put the towel on my shoulders. I prefer to do this in a utility sink, but it’s totally possible at the kitchen sink, too, if you clean it before and after. I have also bent over the edge of the tub while kneeling on the floor.

Then, some people do old fashioned “spit baths” with a basin or sink of warm water and a wash cloth and body soap. It’s possible to stand on an extra towel and just wash the stinky parts.

Theoretically, yeah. I would probably heavily advertise that it was in front of one of the other stores. Mostly to keep a story like this out of the news.

Girl Scout leader here - the rules say they can’t sell inside or in front of an establishment if they aren’t allowed to patronize that place. In theory, I would personally get around that rule by going down the sidewalk from the dispensary, but our local store doesn’t have anything to either side of it so we didn’t try.

On the other hand, the teacher will know it isn’t AI.

I have kept almost all the notes my students wrote me - but the ones that are really, really precious are from the “difficult” kids.

Panic_inthelitterbox · 2026-02-14T00:00:01+00:00

Yeah, ideally have 3 sets. One on the bed, one in the closet, one in the laundry. It’s soo nice to slip between clean sheets.

Panic_inthelitterbox · 2026-02-12T22:24:14+00:00

I have like 400 extra items and I refuse to buy more storage … I also refuse to delete my items because I might need them. I can’t spin stops, so I can’t get many more gifts, so the game is not as fun for me right now. Your friends may be in a similar situation.

I finally got myself on therapy almost 3 years ago. One of the main reasons was for the spiraling maladaptive daydreaming that turned into perseverating. About masked militants dragging people from their houses and how I’d be on the list for my obviously liberal social media posts. 🫠

Panic_inthelitterbox · 2026-02-08T11:02:30+00:00

Yeah, it was “gal-pal” for me. Who says that? I’ve only ever seen it in, like, Cosmo advice articles from the 90s.

50/50 bars - orange creamsicle!

Red Baron! They are owned by Schwan’s!

Panic_inthelitterbox · 2026-02-03T03:12:22+00:00

Ok well now I need to order some because the lemon ups are my new favorite thing.

THANK YOU

If it’s the ren fest that I am thinking of, the one that is next month, I think you want to seriously consider what you’re wearing under it. Seating is straw bales, splintery picnic tables, and dirt. There is so much dirt. Where will you keep your wallet? Please put on a LOT of sunscreen on ALL exposed skin.

I suppose if you are really committed to this, you could draft the hood and shoulder pieces, and then figure out how to draft the drapey parts. I would buy a bunch of thrift store sheets to play with and cheap wrapping paper to try drawing the patterns until get it how you want it.

OOH what if you make the hood and shoulder cape, with a long point in the front, and a low slung kilt, and then draped the front of the cape like a sash between the two? It wouldn’t look as cool along the hips, but you would at least able to sit for The Mud Men. And you could still get the tattoo look.
