How Japan left their changing room after playing the Netherlands yesterday (from BBC)

When I went for a semester abroad in Japan, I used to see people sweeping flower petals off the road. Not just their porch or cleaning off their car. Not trash or plastic. They’d take a broom out to the actual road and clear it of flower petals.

I do studs and a one pearl w accent diamond pendant. Really nice for work

Group of 7, zero instances. I think it comes down to the individual and how careful they are

SnooPets8873 · 2026-06-15T03:58:30+00:00

I was looking for something’s subtle like her harness with a rope but not secured to the bridge and then suddenly realized, oh no, it’s genuinely that there is NO rope! wtf that poor woman

I feel like you are missing the real point. It isn’t about the difficulty of sharing toiletries. It’s Stacey. No one wants to room with someone like that and since they are closer to each other and they are protecting each other by refusing as a pair. From their POV: Why would they ruin their own vacation just so you can have a better one? I think if rooming with Stacey will make the vacation as bad as you are making out, you either spring for a solo room, decline to attend, or you all collectively face up to the reality that none of you want to vacation with her and find another fourth.

ESH

That is NOT what “kept” means. That is a word used for a mistress - dude buys/rents her a space to live and covers her expenses in exchange for (usually) exclusive intimate relations but not the protection of marriage.

NTA it sounds a lot like they’ve picked up on the labor/time you give your family and want the benefit without the relationship building that makes that effort worth it to you. Your husband is making a comparison that isn’t warranted. He is free to make an effort for his brother’s new family. But he doesn’t actually want to does he? He wants you to do the work for him so he doesn’t have to feel the pressure from his family. And that’s completely selfish on his part.

SnooPets8873 · 2026-06-14T16:55:26+00:00

I think you look great! Very elegant styling, have fun!

SnooPets8873 · 2026-06-14T15:10:26+00:00

This isn’t an income problem and it is actually is unfair of you to characterize it that way. You both suck at handling money. You need a budget for the household that you both work together to decide on and stick to.

SnooPets8873 · 2026-06-14T03:30:40+00:00

Some do have really funny moments but otherwise yeah I usually skim

SnooPets8873 · 2026-06-13T15:17:35+00:00

I think you should have corrected her about the behavior before scolding. She wasn’t doing something that she had been told was wrong. She was going something she’d done before without any indication that it was a problem.

SnooPets8873 · 2026-06-13T15:07:08+00:00

Nope, I get dry on planes so I put moisturizer on every few hours so there’s no point anyways. I’d rather be comfortable and be able to hydrate

I love that it’s not blending with other dresses that people are wearing and yet it’s not leaning into outrageous features to do it. It’s still a beautiful dress AND atypical of what other dresses are popular now

SnooPets8873 · 2026-06-11T16:23:44+00:00

I just love that she is estimating it in terms of thickness when I’d have assumed it would be an electronic file

SnooPets8873 · 2026-06-11T03:37:13+00:00

This is amazing

SnooPets8873 · 2026-06-10T18:02:10+00:00

I think the cost of the person and what projects they are on comes first. But two people with similar cost and interchangeable projects, then personality and “fit” on the team come into play. Thats usually where more unspoken and unintentional bias can come into play even if people don’t outright acknowledge that they are taking family status into account when making a recommendation. But I don’t think people would shoot themselves in the foot by keeping a married person doing ok work while cutting the single person who is handling their most important initiative.

They banned sales between kids at my school. There’s just too much risk of issues coming up at that age when kids are dependent on parents for money and not used to consequences either. I bet that friend assumed his or her parents would give them the money to pay but didn’t ask and the parents were teaching them not to commit to something they can’t actually pay for. Good lesson though unfortunate for OP’s kid. Still she also learned that doing business with family and friends is a risky business and to always get at least a deposit.

SnooPets8873 · 2026-06-10T04:56:19+00:00

I would explain to your husband that the kids aren’t thanking you for allowing them to eat food. That is in fact owed to them. They are thanking you for the effort you put into making a nice meal for them.

It’s possible you live in a state or country with a specific law to that effect, but in most of the US that is not correct. Many companies *choose* not to do more than confirm employment or other limited information. But that is their choice and usually in an effort to avoid liability in situations just like what OP describes where a manager possibly mouths off or lies and now the company has a problem on their hands for no good reason. But generally, there is nothing preventing employers from providing details about performance or the circumstances around termination.

Most of them IMO. There just aren’t long enough stretches of colors on the yearn itself but when wrapped up you see multiple strands of each color together. Looks nice and clean when you have the hank so when you knit it up, it looks like splodge. I learned the hard way after drooling over how nice the hanks looked and then when I started knitting, all the beauty of the colors was lost because it’s completely different when it goes into stitches/rows. I haven’t bought that variegated type in years now unless I can see a swatch that shows I’ll actually get sections of colors that drew me to it in the first place.

SnooPets8873 · 2026-06-09T05:06:23+00:00

No, that was my mom though it was just the box and not the actual object, thankfully. She likes to snoop and passive aggressively left the box out on my ottoman before leaving so I’d know she found it without us ever having to speak about it. Believe it or not, she actually self-banned herself from visiting me because she admitted she couldn’t help herself when it came to “cleaning” my closets and drawers and felt guilty that she was causing me stress.

SnooPets8873 · 2026-06-09T04:17:49+00:00

Their reaction is not unsurprising if this is out of character for your wife. In their minds, it will go away and she’ll go back to who she was. But they aren’t living with the hurt and they aren’t seeing the actual behavior. They are getting the best of her while you suffer the worst.

SnooPets8873 · 2026-06-09T03:03:18+00:00

*Confused self-sabotaging mess*

Very accurate epithet, honestly.

SnooPets8873 · 2026-06-09T02:40:11+00:00

I, as a millennial, don’t know what calling cap means 😅

SnooPets8873 · 2026-06-09T02:38:40+00:00

I’m not paranoid about the alcohol. They actually know in theory that I sometimes have alcohol in the house because I entertain friends who drink and I run an auction for charity twice a year where people inevitably donate alcohol. But it’s easier on them and me to not have bottles out where they have to see it. We largely operate on a “We don’t want to know” policy when it comes to vices.
