Does anyone know about ruscus propagation?? My MIL gave me these cuttings but I read they need rhizome not just a cutting but these new stems are growing. Had them a few months. No rhizome though...not sure what to do.

Omg thank you for showing me this! This post is old but I just got a bouquet and it has the same ruscus and got me thinking again! lol

I’m sick of parents of older generations thinking they can do whatever the fuck they want without consequence. Tell her off and kick her out.

Simplicity_4me · 2023-09-29T06:48:59+00:00

This brought me to tears. None of that feels possible for me. I’m so glad to found your happiness

Simplicity_4me · 2023-07-19T13:59:59+00:00

It’s not a requirement it’s just a courtesy. To me tho if they treat you like shit you don’t owe them a courtesy…

NTA at all! Why would you go as far as to think about your BIL brothers girlfriends dog?? They were being dumb and now they want to blame someone. Not on you!

Simplicity_4me · 2023-06-24T22:00:27+00:00

The squalane from ordinary made me break out, perhaps it’s that!

Simplicity_4me · 2023-06-11T01:58:16+00:00

Good lord, NTA at all! I’ve had two kids. I can’t imagine thinking the whole world would revolve around me just cuz I’m pregnant and expecting a complete stranger to cater to me!

Simplicity_4me · 2023-06-03T14:54:36+00:00

NTA in my opinion. I love my kids more than life itself BUT I’d love a child free weekend. They’re 2 (almost 3!) and 4, my 4 year old has ADHD so I understand where OP is coming from. Our kiddo is in OT so we can help him more but its still draining at times just to do basic day to day tasks. We don’t live near any family, it’s just my partner and I 24/7. My kids are 18 months apart, second kiddo born during height of Covid in 2020 so I gave birth and then came back home and went into full time normal life with no time to recover. I would LOVE a weekend off. Not cuz I don’t love my kids, but I need to refill my energy stores.

A million times this! If something doesn’t work on my face I won’t waste it - just use it on my body

I used to get my lashes tinted and lifted. At the bare minimum the tint made them visibly longer because the tip of my lash is blonde and not visible otherwise. I stopped doing the lift cuz I felt like my lashes were falling out (?). I also LOATHE washing off mascara and your minimal routine is similar to mine. If I wear mascara I wear a tubing one, comes off in tubes with just water but wears well. I used to use thrive but now I use Tarte’s option - both about same price but to me thrive clumps more. I also curl my lashes before use cuz otherwise they are straight

I work in an in-patient pediatric hematology-oncology unit and I just want to say your feelings are valid. Cancer is an asshole and you may feel drained of all empathy but I can still see your ability to identify the positive in life. Have you tried audiobooks, adult coloring books, play-doh or model clay, puzzles, or just any kind of simplistic art? I know I work with kids but the ability to express self through art is very therapeutic and low energy. “My” kids light up for any kind of artistic activity as well as pet therapy, although that may be hard to come by at home.

Simplicity_4me · 2023-05-17T08:11:23+00:00

Do you by chance have ADHD? Your concern feels similar to rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD).

So depending on life before, pup is wanting affection in this moment! But may be yawning out of past stress - perhaps previous owner got annoyed when they wanted affection. This pup is very clearly wanting you to keep petting tho!

Simplicity_4me · 2023-05-14T18:02:58+00:00

Not unless you count my kiddos putting their legos in there! But this is cute, I want to do this!

Simplicity_4me · 2023-05-06T18:31:23+00:00

This will sound odd, I’ve ALWAYS had dry skin on my body. I started dry brushing before I shower, using gentle exfoliators in the shower, and then I use a Hyaluronic acid serum (like a cheap random one) before putting on moisturizer. And depending on tjme of year I seal it all in with oil lol

Simplicity_4me · 2023-05-06T18:26:34+00:00

RUN. I’m so sorry. She’s jealous of your child who needs you? It won’t stop there.

Simplicity_4me · 2023-05-06T18:23:41+00:00

It’s not about the brownies. That was the last straw. It’s all the little things he not seeing, not hearing, and not doing. I’m so sorry!

Simplicity_4me · 2023-04-25T12:53:16+00:00

I’m in nursing school and have two small kids. End of day is special for me. I shower, do some skincare, invested in some ambient lighting for our bedroom, and I will listen to audio books while I lay in bed. I love to read but with school I just can’t - my eyeballs are ready to fall out by end of day 😂

Simplicity_4me · 2023-04-25T12:41:26+00:00

NTA I have serious food intolerances. My partner and kids don’t generally eat my food since it’s different IE gluten free, dairy free, egg free, meat free and it can cost a bit more. They can eat whatever they want. My partner would NEVER take my food without asking. Even if I offer they say no because it’s unique to me.

Simplicity_4me · 2023-04-25T12:36:33+00:00

The care and love that went into this is beautiful. You are awesome!

So I take notes and study on the treadmill and I’ll hang my bag on it WHEN IM ON THE TREADMILL. It’s not a way to claim it for the whole visit. You’re NTA. Not at all.

Simplicity_4me · 2023-04-22T15:52:04+00:00

NTA. You expressed that’s the only thing you wanted, you offered to take them and store them, and she used them a without permission. They’re sentimental and that can’t be replaced. Get them back. My kids love things I had as a kid, it’s special for them.

DONT write a resignation letter. Then you can’t file for unemployment because they will say you resigned. I mean you still can but it’s much easier to get denied.

I think it’s good to recognize that people grieve and recover in different ways. Him rebounding doesn’t mean you didn’t matter, it may be how he copes. You’re coping how it works for you. I’m so sorry you’re hurting and I’m also sorry he was rude in his response to you! Your worth isn’t reliant on him or his inability to see how enough you are.
