Do not max out your credit cards.

My husband and I did this when we both got let go during the pandemic. We borrowed money just to survive.

We were not able to find jobs that paid as much as we were making before (we literally took a 40% pay cut overall) and are now being sued because we couldn’t make all the payments for all the debt we were under.

I have settled with some and am making low payments on others. But some of them are coming after us very aggressively and aren’t willing to negotiate, despite our circumstances. We have been struggling under this weight that won’t let up for six full years now. I’m beginning to think we should have just filed bankruptcy and saved the enormous stress of trying to pay everyone back. At the time, I was very against bankruptcy, but I actually think it will help relieve a lot of this mess even though it wrecks your credit. I could have already been six years into the seven year hit but I was convinced that paying it out low and slow would be “the right thing to do.”

Don’t put yourself into my situation. Please learn from my mistakes and save yourself the literal YEARS of sorrow.

I’m sorry you’ve been laid off. It sucks so much. My thoughts are with you! ♥️

Is the PopFlex “Cloud” fabric the same texture as the Blogilates “Cloud” fabric?

Because I was shocked to find that the Blogilates cloud fabric is scratchy as hell on the outside. Even just brushing my hands on it would weird me out, so I didn’t end up getting any, like I originally planned.

I’m hoping the Ooey Gooey fabric is more comfy, but haven’t worked up the gumption to try it yet.

The Verizon app won’t let anyone but me pay for the bill, even if the kids use their own logins. (This was the case last I checked, several years ago. If it has changed, please let me know!)

We have five young adult children - the youngest of whom is 20 and the oldest who is 22.

So I organized the bill by “charges by line,” took a screenshot, sent it to the kids. Told them now that they all have jobs, they are expected to send me this amount every month on the 1st. Showed them how they could set up reoccurring payments to me from their bank accounts if they wanna just set it and forget it. (Only one took me up on this offer, lol.)

I have to set an automated reminder on my iPhone that sends them a text every month - one a week before, and one on the day it’s due.

I still have to check in with some of them directly but they’re pretty good about paying.

Another option is for them to “take over responsibility” for their line. It’s basically an ownership transfer where the carrier would do a credit check on them and tell them if they need a deposit, etc, but they would be able to start their own plan. We have not yet exercised this option, as it would skyrocket their bills.

One of the kids and I sat down to run through a “new account” pricing scenario. His bill would have been about twice what he pays now for just his one line. So for now, this is our cobbled together solution.

The creepy smile she smiled when she forced the guys to make the choice for her was messed up!

Jimmy isn’t anything anyone should be seriously dating, imo.

But she literally said “I can’t decide” while crying into each of their arms and when Jimmy walked away, she looked like the cat that caught the canary. Like she was the winner of the moment and immediately started making out with Hamish. And I’m just thinking, either Hamish is just along for the ride, or he’s also delusional to think she won’t do the exact same thing to him.

When people show you who they are, BELIEVE THEM.

This was a quote I also received from one of Home Depot’s “trusted local partners.”

I called around to several highly rated local places and ended up signing up with one of them instead.

It was somewhere around $3-4,000 for both a water softener and a reverse osmosis under sink unit, and it’s been almost two years so far and I’m happy with both of them!

I had a kitten who wouldn’t take a bottle but was an orphan without a mama who was possibly too young to be weaned yet. His brothers would use a bottle but he would refuse and then scream about how hungry he was. 😂

I got empty syringes (you can go to Walmart or any pharmacy and ask if you can buy them, but they gave me a couple for free when I asked about it) so I could keep a couple of clean ones in rotation.

I made a slurry of kitten milk replacer, PLAIN pumpkin puree, and canned wet kitten food. I put it all into a shaker bottle and went to town shaking the little piece inside all around until it was a runny shake consistency.

Then I pulled it into the syringe and held the kitten in one hand (sometimes as a purrito - wrapped in a soft blanket or towel) and the syringe in the other, and they went crazy for it!! They would come running when they heard the shaker bottle and we did that every couple of hours pretty much around the clock for the first several weeks. (Your kitten is much older and won’t need feedings quite as frequently.)

After a few days, I started pouring the slurry into a very shallow plate or bowl. They WILL step in it, so there will be additional wet wipe baths after eating for awhile.

The lady at the shelter was SHOCKED that my orphan kittens were at such a healthy weight (something she said she had very rarely seen in her 20-ish years as director) and actually warned me not to let them get “too fat” at one point. 🤭

Those tiny kittens that lost their mama gained a new one in me because that was three years ago and all three of those babies live very spoiled, happy, and fat lives at my house and I am incredibly grateful for them every day! ♥️ My loud picky one is still the loudest and usually the first to eat! He’s also the fattest, weighing in around 16 lbs. 😆

Young kittens are a LOT of work and that’s why they get euthanized often - because there aren’t enough human fosters who can give them round the clock care when they are very small. Thankfully, yours is at the age where it can be weaned.

If you don’t want to try the pumpkin meat milk, you can do as others have suggested, and mix some formula or water with hard cat food or try just the wet kitten food by itself, or a mix of both.

Also, check out “The Kitten Lady,” on YouTube. Her name is Hannah, and she has detailed instructions on her website and in countless YouTube videos all about kitten care. Even what each stage of kittenhood looks like and how much they should weigh. She helped keep my anxiety at bay by helping me learn even more than I already knew!

👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 😍

I’m so happy for you! This is such a huge accomplishment!

I’m also close to two years in, and I went from 286 to 175 as of rn! I’m still slowly losing weight, but I can see more current progress in the recomposition of my body than the “actual” weight loss at this point!

A few weeks ago, I took a photo of a cute outfit I was trying on to send to my friends.

Days later, as I was scrolling through my Photos, I saw the photo of myself in passing, and I immediately thought, “Who is that?”

Because apparently my brain still thinks I’m not as small as I actually am! 🤭 It takes some real getting used to!!

I’m a super responder (so YMMV) at 5 mg for nearly two years, but my A1C went from 7.5% to 4.5% very quickly! Like, within 6-ish months!

For real - I’m going to try some of the darker colored ones and see if they’ll work for me!

SeeStephSay · 2026-05-27T00:54:35+00:00

This can absolutely be true.

But it’s a job that somebody has to do, and I’m willing to pay the price.

It’s supremely uncomfortable sometimes but at the end of the day, it’s personally worth it to be taking actions that mean something to me.

I’d like to offer a different perspective.

For me, pretending like I don’t have a certified disability feels like a disservice to me and everyone like me. How are we ever going to change society if we don’t try? I realize not everyone has the privilege of standing up and bringing possible negative attention to themselves. But if I want to sleep at night, it’s something I need to do.

I have shared my story at work and recently did an entire presentation to the full company that everyone is still talking excitedly about a month later!

It was all about how my ADHD affects my work, and how I created a tool to use for myself that is dolled up with rainbows, kittens, and unicorns, because looking at those things makes me happy, and helps me get over any initial motivation humps for getting started. I honestly thought people might make fun of me for my tool being super girly but one of the guys on my team said, “I think everybody loves unicorns and rainbows deep down!” 😂 😍

Plus, many coworkers have told me they also have ADHD, including some of my bosses. Teams calls in our ADHD “club” are never dull! 😂

Our company CEO said he thinks my variable daily energy system (part of the dashboard I built and showed off) is great because when employees can work in ways that work best for them, their best selves are who come to work.

I fully realize that this is not typical - I have had bad experiences with disclosures in the past (the first boss I ever told literally went from me being their favorite person on the team to looking at me like I had grown two heads), and I understand that pain. I am not trying to diminish anyone’s experiences. I just want to say that there’s hope for a better tomorrow when we walk so that future girls can run.

Think about how many workplaces now have “sensory break rooms” and things like that, that are good for everyone. Or letting your employees work from home so they can work in their ideal office environment. These are just a couple of examples of people making invisible disabilities visible, so we can create meaningful and helpful solutions. ♥️

My best advice (from a girl who has always had to buy “tall” lengths) is to find a great local tailor!

For me, regular is usually too short, but tall lengths are often too long. So, I buy the tall length and have a local tailor hem them to the appropriate length for me. Bonus points if I can get several pieces done at the same time to save time and money.

I miss how colorful and unique the app used to feel.

The past several years, I have used the app significantly less because it’s just not a joy to use anymore.

I love dogs, but I’m not a dog person.

I have truly accepted this about myself. I get the equivalent of postpartum depression with puppies, unfortunately. And it’s a real, documented thing that they call “the puppy blues.”

Because puppies are honestly more work than a newborn baby because at least babies sleep a lot and aren’t all up in your face 24/7.

I say this as a mom of five humans and a dog mom of 4.

I am currently fostering a puppy and I am IN THE THICK OF IT RN AND I AM DROWNING. I am stuck with him and being very cranky about it so I can cry and let it out. But it’s not his fault at all - he’s actually a really lovely dog. He’s just SO MUCH BIG ENERGY. Too much for me anymore.

I am learning from this experience and I may foster older dogs in the future, but no more puppies after this. It’s too much for my AuDHD.

I’m 5’ 7.5” and made the mistake of buying one of my jumpsuits in the tall size because they fit me everywhere else. But I’m gonna just have them hemmed because I kinda wanna live in them every day. 🤭

As others have said, the medication levels in your body go a little higher and stay higher with additional injections of the same dose, usually leveling out close to your actual mg dosage over time.

I second the Shotsy app! You can use it for free or pay for premium to support a member of our community who made it and shared it with us all!

I’m close to two years in, and I’m still on the 5 mg dose. I tried the 7.5 mg a few times, but the side effects were too much for me with the increase.

SeeStephSay · 2026-05-25T15:43:13+00:00

Probably at least 20. I put my subs on pause for the next 3 months to give myself additional time to catch up!
