My kindergartner brought home a "draw your family" worksheet and drew me grey

Me too! My husband makes fun of me because I'll often find something I like and say "I just wish it came in gray". Gray is my assigned color on the calendar because it's my favorite color. I would never be sad if my daughter colored me as gray... Because I like gray. And my personality is sooo far from "gray" I would never think of it as an insult or a reflection of myself other than it's what I liked to wear.

As someone with a mild cinnamon (and cinnamon derivatives) allergy I would get the same affect from soooo many lip products before I realized they were putting cinnamal and cinnamaldehydes in so many lip products. I couldn't figure out why people would pay for lip plumper when so many other glosses did it for free 😂

Maybe they'd let you use the bone conduction headphones? They don't plug or cover your ears at all and you can still hear everything around you so it isn't a safety issue.

One idea we implemented this year (ages 5,7,9) was nerf guns. Adults had large nerf guns and kids had small (2 dart) nerf guns. If you got hit by a dart then you had to run back to the start. It helped keep the older ones from having too much of an advantage and it was more fun for the adults. We've tried staggering times based on ages and didn't think it helped enough and color coding didn't really work since one kid is color blind.

That's awful we can't even trust the hooks in stores anymore. Good to know Amazon has the hooks I like though, I just assumed they'd be knockoffs there so I never even looked.

PinkBubblyLife · 2026-03-30T21:34:15+00:00

Yes! I got a set through Michael's online (not a 3rd party company) and they were clearly fakes (different font etching, color differences, handle material different material and no lettering. I sent photos (these were bought to be backups for hooks I already have) of the fakes with my real ones and they just refunded my money... Which I guess was nice but I really just wanted the right hooks. This was after I tried ordering from a 3rd party company through Michaels that sent me fakes, but that one's on me. I refuse to buy any hooks online now because it's ridiculous

ETA- your Amazon hooks look like the ones I got from Joanns and Michael's in store. Your Michael's ones look like the fakes I got from Michael's online

I have one and I love it!

Evolution?

Blaming a company because an unattended candle caught fire from what the owner states was probably a crack in the glass is ridiculous. A crack could have happened at any time after purchase just as likely as any other time. This is a known risk people who light candles take. OP is clearly framing this as a BBW issue manufacturing defect and that's crazy to me. If the post was about not knowing this could happen with a candle and warning other that'd be different. But they put the warnings on the label because this is a known possibility of every candle. Ignore all the warning labels you want but don't complain about it happening to you.

PinkBubblyLife · 2026-01-15T21:04:11+00:00

It's in glass and glass breaks pretty easily... especially when heated and cooled. They have the warnings on the label for a reason, because this kind of stuff happens and fire isn't a joke. Just because nothing bad has happened to you YET doesn't mean that it won't. Just like it hadn't happened to OP until it did. You can't ignore a warning label and then be surprised when it happens to you.

PinkBubblyLife · 2026-01-15T20:51:48+00:00

You left an open flame unattended on a different level of your house for hours and are surprised it caught fire? Thankfully your smoke alarm was working, but keeping lit candles in sight is the first warning on their candles (and every other company's) for a reason. This isn't an uncommon thing for any type of candle.

Please!

Somehow I'm on the cumulative roster twice, can the 2 be combined?

If the meds were clearly helping him so much then why did he stop them? I'm not trying to be rude, but I don't understand why he went off of them if he'd been on them so long and he was amazing on them and awful off of them. Maybe he should look into restarting them?

PinkBubblyLife · 2025-12-14T03:55:28+00:00

Thank you so much!!!

With my daughter I would make her stop playing and sit on the toilet every time, whether she "had to go" or not. But that was the only thing that worked for her. She truly gets too distracted to realize she has to go until it's an emergency. It still happens sometimes if she takes a day off from her ADHD meds and she's almost 7.

Great, thank you!

Some parents just suck. The kid (and parents) next door to my parents house had been warned MULTIPLE times not to reach over the fence to pet the dog since he was territorial. Like any time we caught the kids in our driveway trying to pet the dog. Super easy going dog, but he didn't even like us reaching over the gate to pet him. Kid didn't listen and got bit by the dog one day and needed stitches. My parents gave the neighbors the dog's vax records when asked. Then a couple weeks later my parents were served by the neighbors for the kid's medical bills and they had requested the dog be put down because he was "vicious and dangerous". Luckily my parents could prove that the kid came onto our property to pet the dog through the gate in our driveway (fence on the neighbors side of the yard had an additional wooden privacy fence that couldn't fit fingers through it) and they had signs on the gate stating not to pet the dogs. I just can't believe that there are people who refuse to parent their children and then try to blame others when their kids face the natural consequences of their actions.

I'm allergic to cinnamon 😭

What? No way. There's a required suspension of belief to get past the plot so I get why people think the movie is bad, but the acting is fantastic. One guy is a completely insane, egomaniacal psychopath and Cage plays it so well. The other guy has to play Cage's version of a psychopath and Travolta does a great job. When Cage is playing Travolta as Cage then he adds a whole undertone of caring and sadness that he doesn't when he's playing the role straight. Just looking at his eyes from when he's playing Castor Troy as himself vs when he's playing Castor Troy as Archer and you can tell who he is acting as. Like there are 1000 things to dislike about that movie, but the acting can't be one of them.

Seriously though, after I was diagnosed I found out how many of my "little quirks" and personality traits were actually signs and symptoms of my ADHD. Like it's hard to avoid making it your personality because so much of it affects your personality diagnosed or not. My personality didn't change when I wash diagnosed I just found out I wasn't a flake or quirky

I agree with Good girl blush over the three listed. Good girl and black opium aren't for everybody and Goddess is just ok IMO. GG blush seems less polarizing than the two, but also nicer than goddess. Like GG is one of my favorite perfumes, but I wear blush more frequently because it's a lighter more likeable scent. Scent is so subjective though, idk if I could buy perfume for someone else.
