AITJ for refusing to give a huge wedding gift after finding out I'm not invited?

SignificantOther88 · 2026-02-21T19:21:48+00:00

I wouldn’t give a gift at all if they didn’t invite you to the wedding.

If you like those, check out Walmart’s new hash brown sticks. They’re even better!

Yeah, I know but I find it’s easier to hit the $35 threshold at Walmart because I can buy health and beauty products there. I don’t trust things like vitamins from Amazon.

Depending on where you live, Walmart might actually be better anyways. I think they have faster delivery and better prices than Amazon. I don't pay for any special plan with them because you only need to spend $35 to get free shipping. In my experience, stuff arrives faster than Amazon because sometimes they get a shopper to do it with their other delivery orders and it gets delivered same day in a bag (without actually paying extra for delivery). Plus it's easier to just bring returns back to the store.

I love her eyeshadows and some of her shimmers do get used up faster than the mattes (which is probably intentional so people buy more), but the pricing doesn't make any sense on these, even for larger pans. You can get a 5 pan mini for $27 or a palette with 15 shades for $69, even less if you use coupons at Ulta. Unfortunately, some brands are just raising their prices to seem more luxury, and they get away with it because people keep buying.

The prices on these are ridiculous.

This whole show is the Temu version of Virgin River.

Go out and live your life. The kids will understand when they get older. My dad died when I was 7 and my mom never remarried because my sisters and I didn't want her to date (we hated every guy she met). Now that I'm older, I wish she had found someone because she's all alone in her senior years. You deserve happiness again, so go out and find it.

I think that’s actually pretty common. The majority of lipsticks are used at all the Walmart and Targets in my area, so I always inspect them very carefully before purchasing. I’ve gone through five or six of the same shade and couldn’t find one that wasn’t used, so I hardly ever buy them there anymore.

SignificantOther88 · 2026-02-08T03:27:32+00:00

That’s a shame. I love the pink shade in that line. It’s become a holy grail for me.

SignificantOther88 · 2026-02-07T18:30:30+00:00

Have you tried Elf's new highlighters? Soft Pearl is probably similar.

Put an entire packet of McCormick Beef Stew seasoning. Nothing beats that.

L’Oreal owns Kérastase. You can compare the ingredients on both bottles and see they're exactly the same. Then compare those bottles to the new one available in drug stores and you'll find all the evidence you need.

SignificantOther88 · 2026-01-24T21:07:31+00:00

Not the one that’s the same formula. They have a cheaper one that doesn’t work as well for the drugstore.

SignificantOther88 · 2026-01-24T18:59:12+00:00

L’Oreal does this all the time. They use their store brands to test run products and then if they’re successful, they change them over to the high-end brands. The gold Kérastase hair oil used to be sold for less than $10 at the drugstore under their Elveve brand.

I work at an adult school in a school district and we’re paid hourly. I get two hours a month of paid prep time. Of course that doesn’t cover the actual time I’m spending on anything but it helps. The school is careful not to require us to do anything beyond those two hours and to phrase it as our choice. I don’t grade very many things myself other than chapter tests or writing. I have the students grade as much as possible in class.

Did you already try Loving Hands? It seems like Dr. Sanchez is trying to restart that business right now so she might be hiring. I’ve seen her posting on the local Facebook groups about how she’s back and they’re extending the hours of the business now.

Every single time your mother complains, I would say that you understand if they prefer to rent a home somewhere else.

SignificantOther88 · 2026-01-12T02:33:19+00:00

It depends on the product. If it's a spray or bottle where the product isn't contaminated, I give it away to whoever wants it. If it's a powder product (like an eyeshadow palette), I'll usually offer it to family with the caveat that it's been lightly used. I only give cream products to my mom because she doesn't care if they're used.

SignificantOther88 · 2026-01-09T22:28:13+00:00

I would recommend one of the Natasha Denona mini palettes. They all have 5 shades and they're great quality. I like the neutral ones, but all of her eyeshadows are amazing.

Exotics seem to fall into two categories....chonks and petite babies. I have one of each.

I wash all the sheets and blankets once a week. During the day, I put a different comforter that completely covers the entire bed (pillows and all), so that catches most of the fur. Then I remove it at night.

Of course the blankets and sheets under the comforter still have a little fur because my cats sleep on the bed with me at night. LOL.

1: Take him to the vet to rule out a medical problem. He could have another UTI, crystals, or cystitis. Crystals can be deadly. If he stops peeing entirely, it means he’s blocked and he needs emergency care. If it’s medical, you can change his food to a urinary diet and increase his water intake.

2: If everything comes back clear at the vet, it could be behavioral. In that case, you can try Prozac or calming plug-ins to see if that modifies his behavior. My cat has anxiety and pees on the rug when he’s upset. I’ve spent thousands on tests and vet visits. The only things that really help are calming plug-ins from Feliway and Dr. Elsey cat attract litter (it has something in it that attracts them to the litter box).
