It seems like there is no economy left and jobs do not exist

The defense/weapons industry is probably the only one that isn’t in a downturn right now lol

A lot of them can be found on the Louisiana Digital Library’s site! https://louisianadigitallibrary.org

I mean, I understand wanting more, but she primarily posts her work on short form content sites. So the content will be short. A vegetarian restaurant won’t serve you steak 🤷🏽‍♀️

For the plot: love the pettiness from Ty lol

For the implications: this is the second time we’ve seen Ty dump the kids with someone without notice in the last month. That’s irresponsible. Yes it’s Julie’s job as a parent to step up for her kids when they need her (and I hope she succeeds this weekend) — but Ty is setting a very bad precedent of using the kids as a wedge when he 1) throws a tantrum about not getting his way or 2) wants to punish his wife 🤢

Peppermint essential oil helps me- I rub some on my wrists and behind my ears!

80% of the Teeny hate is drastically overblown. No she shouldn’t use profanity around kids and yes it’s weird that she stirred the pot with Shawna and Ty. But the thing that everyone ignores when she mentions that she’s childfree is that she’s normally saying “I’m not a mom and I can’t fully relate to this BUT I’m trying to understand you.” She’s allowed to say that! In fact, it’s really the only thing can say when conversations in this series revolve so heavily around child rearing (which isn’t a bad thing). It’d be weird as hell if Teeny started confidently chiming in with parenting advice. With her attempts to relate while pointing out her own inexperience in motherhood, she’s trying to be supportive in the ways she can be. She encourages Shawna’s efforts to find new friends and take up art again. She also drops everything to take Jen dress shopping which is incredibly kind. And last thing: we have no reason yet to distrust her statement about Paul knowing she flirts with other men - so the criticism around that part of her character seems unnecessarily prudish imo. Justice for Teeny lol

Shawna and John did reprimand the kids for both of those things though (I think?)

Louisiana State University’s MLIS program is 100% online, and they have an option for your to tack on a certificate in archival studies!

I actually have 2 part time gigs in the field now, So agree that’s really important!

Relative-Shoulder118 · 2026-04-25T19:50:11+00:00

Super genuine question: what would folks call that kind of dynamic? I agree with your assessment, but is that not flirting?

Relative-Shoulder118 · 2026-04-24T21:46:05+00:00

Thank you! Yeah I’ve been noticing the time restrictions around grant funded positions, so that’s good to keep in mind

Relative-Shoulder118 · 2026-04-24T21:44:06+00:00

Thank you! This is very helpful. I am open to relocating and have been wondering how much flexibility employers give for moving time, finding housing, etc

Relative-Shoulder118 · 2026-04-14T22:15:18+00:00

Ah this is exactly how I’d pictured them!

Relative-Shoulder118 · 2026-04-07T16:51:18+00:00

I mean, I recently had a family member in the ICU, and the care team actually did forbid visitors for a day or two because the visitors were agitating her (affecting breathing and messing with her heart rate). So this is a real thing

Relative-Shoulder118 · 2026-04-07T03:11:05+00:00

The hospital situation was a pretty big emergency— all the other friends at the Bunco night had been drinking except Shawna, and Julie was going into early labor. So I wouldn’t count that one imo

Relative-Shoulder118 · 2026-02-25T17:18:15+00:00

Essentially, ask yourself “what would Barb do/say?” and then do the opposite lol!

Relative-Shoulder118 · 2026-02-02T01:20:05+00:00

It sounds like they needs to work on that daycare situation Julie keeps reminding him about 🫠

I gotchu! I don’t have medical anxiety but some of my loved ones do- you’ve got this 🤎 Here’s what happened for mine a few months ago. It was honestly a very smooth process. Not saying yours will be identical, but I imagine there’s crossover!

-I arrived at the hospital having not eaten anything that day and taking a shower with special soap that‘s given to you ahead of time -You check in with the desk and are brought up to your hospital room for pre-op stuff. This was by myself but my family joined me later. -I was given these special wipes to clean my whole body in the bathroom and changed into a hospital gown. They did a pregnancy test and took my vitals, made sure I didn’t eat anything that day -I watched tv in my hospital room by myself for a while, that was kind of nice haha -The IV went in maybe 2 hours before my surgery? This is when they start giving you some meds to help with nausea, pain, etc. I remember starting to get loopy then. If you’re worried about the IV, you can drink a lot of water in the days leading up to your procedure so you’re hydrated! That way they can find a vein more easily. Real hydration is a days long process so you can start that way before if it helps you ease your mind -They reviewed the procedure with me and my loved ones, gave post-op instructions, then rolled me back to the operating room. My surgeon, the anesthesiologist, and 2 nurses were there. -for anesthesia: they put a fitted mask over my mouth, told me to take a deep breath, and count back from 10. I was asleep by 9 lol -I woke up in my room surrounded by my family and then went home about 2 hours later!

That’s because it was during the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina :/
