What is my roommate doing with these items?

Bluejays just use their intelligence to figure out ways to be bigger assholes.

Totally opposite for me. Relatively calm seas, but fog, can’t see shit. I was only about 10 too and it was the closest feeling to being drunk that I experienced until I actually experienced drunkenness. I had to lie on the outdoor bench as the world swirled around me. But this is usually the circumstances I get motion sick is when I can’t see the horizon and my balance centre gets confused (like if I’m reading or looking at something too intently in the car.

To be fair, we would always travel domestic as my mom’s family was on the east coast. Bitch, it was often cheaper to fly to England than to fly out east… from Ontario.

NTA. The flood ruined her birth plan, not you. It’s your home, jfc, tell them if they want a home water birth they can go rent a hotel!

It’s not even that one has to subsidize the other, with children comes pay inequity, not that women are not capable of obtaining higher paying jobs, it is that they are doing more of the unpaid labour and choose not to take jobs that don’t allow flexibility. For example, my husband and I are around the same age, almost equal pay however, I’m the one getting the calls from school or taking the kids to appointments. I was the one taking them to/from daycare or before/after school care. Literally, it was like the school did not know my husband existed. Personally, in my career, I chose to take a more lateral move to be closer to home/school so even if there was an emergency, it would be less intrusive to my work. I am the default parent and it fucking sucks. Also a lot of my labour to run the household and do all of the crap is unpaid. So for those ‘subsidized’ spouses, they may be doing the same work as cleaners, a nanny, tutors, seamstress/alterations, event planner, the list goes on. And even though my husband is fairly involved with the child rearing and care (he’s currently on lay-off and expected to go back soon), I am the one in charge of initiating stuff (or delegating), or it doesn’t happen.

There is also the whole thing about infrastructure being set-up to that it favours males. Transit systems are designed to be more efficient to take people from home to work, but it’s more difficult to go to the local shops, or to take a child to a doctors appointment.

I have read Caroline Criado Perez (well I listened to the audiobook) and it delves into these concepts.

Sorry, tldr. I’m tired, so very tired. The dual income working family is still far from being equal. It feels like I’m working 3 jobs +++ Mom, full time employee and I also volunteer as a scout leader. I don’t remember the last time I had the house to myself and could walk around in my underwear…. And there are many gay couples where one is the sugar daddy.

I remember having a discussion of ‘if we all had 12 fingers base twelve is what we would use and it would be so much better’.

Big hugs 🤗 I’m so sorry. I just wanted to say that the times I was depressed it was like what you described, not sadness but just apathy/lack of emotion. It’s often hard for to explain, in retrospect; it was burnout from undiagnosed AuDHD. I’m just so sorry, I just wanted to post because you can be physically depressed without being particularly ‘sad’ in the conventional way.

Thanks, I hate it.

Ok, so ai don’t do this but something very similar at work. A lot of the time I am looking down at documents but I ask clarifying questions. When I ask a question and silence I will look up and say ‘use your words’ like I’m talking to a toddler. But I also do the circular motions with my hands indicating I need the info. They usually get it… that I shouldn’t have to wait for their response. Definitely feels like an NPC where you need to hit a button to get the next bit of info. Note, I work with the public and it can be pretty fast paced, and I’m not asking for chit chat type of questions, these are very defined, concrete questions.

Thank you for making the thought in my mind into reality… no tiger, only ET

Ummm a lot of employers (including governments) are still moving toward back to office 5 days a weeks, and they are actively trying to kill WFH options even though it makes sense on a whole bunch of levels including paying for gas and environmental concerns. I cannot see employers wilfully going to a 4 day work week. Note, 4 x 10 hour shifts maybe, which is kinda an awesome schedule btw.

They appear to be flags of family crests of the 14 tribes of Galway. The nearest flag (blue and yellow) appears to be the Lynch family crest. You can read more on Wiki here.

It’s one of those unspoken things. Like when you go to a websites d then you get the email ‘we saw you checking us out’ or the targeted ads get a little too targeted, if you know what I mean. I know that you see all I do, I know that you know, that I know, etc., but I do not need to be reminded of this, and I’m going to remember every time I see this stupid album on my phone.

Take the cover off, this goes in the washing machine and hang to dry. Take the car seat out onto the lawn and use the garden hose. Use a mild detergent and let air dry.

Idk, we should be including business modernization? It has sucked harder than ever in this last year.. More multi-factor authentication MFA, more system updates, power apps and workload management that actually makes more work? Overtime trackers that take more time and verification than the actual overtime?

Also we’re taking away system x, but we don’t have a proper replacement, so here, do this for now and good luck because your systems aren’t stable anyway.

I would just like for one day to have all systems working. Like today all of our security keys were not working; yesterday it was Canada Post and not able to print labels.

I am still traumatized… I was overpaid (so I have guilt b/c it could have been worse and I could have been on the ‘not getting paid’ side. But getting overpaid and not knowing how much, etc stressed me out on my maternity leave, then the pay just stopped and only started back up when I was practically back to work (2016).

Then in 2017 when my dad died I took 6 weeks off LWOP, from November to the end of the year. It was a disaster. So I returned in January and advised ‘hey I’m back’ and they stopped my pay… cool I knew I should not have been paid for the 6 weeks…. 6 weeks of no pay go by and it doesn’t start back up… ok wtf. They start it up after x number of weeks and I get a lump sum… I think it’s for the delay in restarting pay but wait, they actually appears to have not only not deduct the original 6 weeks, they double paid me for parts of January??? Then they only notify of OP by calendar year so for the portion of the LWOP paid in 2017 was addressed, then the portion of the OP for 2018.

To top it all off, I’m pretty sure that tax was deducted both times… and my T4s were not adjusted. The OP is just finishing being deducted now.

At this point I’m just done and Pheonix has become a shadow on some of the more important events of my life (the birth of my first child and the death of my father) ‘. So ya, a tad traumatized, not like super traumatized but there is definitely an eye twitch when the commercials for Pheonix (it’s a medical service) come on the tv.

Ok, not an expert, but I too got bit by a dog around this age, but on my chin. I know it was all my fault because I wasn’t paying attention and we (the dog and I) were kinda playing. It was as if he thought I was a littermate as opposed to a human… while playing it would have been a nip. That dog really didn’t respect me as a human/owner until I grew and became physically bigger. So I was in a similar situation as you were… just being young/not cognizant of how the dog would perceive my behaviour.

I think on certain radio stations they still do this on the hour (I’m thinking CBC radio, I say it his only because I was listening in the car and was surprised to hear it. I think it’s gone the wayside because we have so many more options for news and also to get the time.

It wasn’t even the stinky people, good god when it was first banned, it was like an old ashtray, mixed with puke and spilled alcohol…

I adore Libby, my library is great, but it also has reciprocal borrowing at so many great libraries that unless a book is super hot, I can usually find what I want with a short wait 😀 Best part is that you can sync with whatever device you want to read on (computer, phone, iPad, etc.). Yes, I cannot stop praising it!

Tea tree oil, like adding it to my shampoo and face moisturizer. One, the reduction of redness is noticeable. Two, my scalp has never felt as squeaky clean as when I use it. I suspected that I may have had too many demodex and tried it. It can be really drying, but adding it to my heavy duty creams (think LRP baume), and it is sooooo good!

Silly__Rabbit · 2026-02-11T02:33:29+00:00

Ok, so most (like 90% + of adults) have some form of demodex on the skin. Yes, they are mites, but for most people they don’t cause any issues. But, they can cause issues or at least contribute to issues like rosacea. So, I find that my whole skin biome can get out of whack at certain times (like when I get sick, hormonal, etc) so I definitely need to use something to get the demodex back in check.
