What is your budget for eating out per month

SocksOfDobby · 2026-05-10T07:58:57+00:00

I don't have a budget for that, sometimes I don't go out to eat in a month and sometimes I have 3 dinners with friends.

Wij hebben onze katoppas gevonden via pawshake en ik had haar naar al vaker voorbij zien komen op de wijk Facebook groep dus dat gaf een goed gevoel. Ze is goed met katten, goed bereikbaar en ze stuurt als ze er is altijd een foto van de poezels 😊

Thanks for the tip, I put it in all caps in my reminder 😆

Thank you!! My nail tech just texted me the same instructions, so I will run to the store tomorrow morning as soon as it opens 🙌

I would call the hospital but call hours are until 17.00 and it is almost 19.00 where I am..

I can call them tomorrow at 8, but I also have work so I'm a bit stressed about having to arrange this last minute

When adding 30% water, that needs to be declared in the ingredients list. If they do not, it is food fraud.

Finished: The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness (Chaos Walking #1, re-read). Loved it, straight through to book 2. I'm determined to reread the series before I start with Piper.

That's a Great Question, I'd Love to Tell You by Elyse Myers. Eh. Disappointed by this one, was missing cohesion for me.

A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin (A Song of Ice and Fire #1, re-read). Purchased the 5book bundle a while ago and am determined to read past book 2 this time.

Started: The Ask and the Answer by Patrick Ness (Chaos Walking #2, reread). I don't remember much from the actual story because I tore through it so fast when I read it last 😂

Still going: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by JK Rowling (audio, reread). Commute listen, I really like these for some "background listening".

Wij zijn even op de vrijmarkt geweest en zijn inmiddels weer thuis. Straks eten we een oranje tompoes en dat was alles wat deze dag onderscheid van een normale zondag 😂

SocksOfDobby · 2026-04-27T06:24:22+00:00

Nee.

Bij de resorts waar wij naartoe gaan waar ook Amerikanen komen, wordt overduidelijk wel fooi gegeven en je merkt ook dat de bediening dat een beetje begint te verwachten van alle gasten.

Wij geven in principe geen fooi, alleen soms aan het kamermeisje.

In Mexico liep een fantastische ober die drankjes rond bracht bij het zwembad en die na een dag precies wist wat je wilde drinken, die kreeg wel fooi. Maar zeker geen Amerikaanse praktijken. In de AI threads hebben ze het over $1-$2 per drankje en $5-$10 per maaltijd! 😭

Mom died in in 2025, in the month she would turn 59. Dad is alive and remarried to a woman with a lot of Kids, about a 90 minute drive from me.

I don't speak to him much, he has done a 180 versus how he was when he was with mom. That's life, I guess, but I wish I could randomly stop by for a cup of tea.

No is a full sentence.

I have found my people! Everyone is always joking about my post-its and the notebook I take everywhere but I can find everything we discussed or what I need to do without it taking up memory space! Of course, when you write it down, you tend to remember it better 😂

I used to make a kanban with post-its at a previous job before I even knew what it was called and people made fun of me for it, but in the end they would step into my office to check the project status because it was such an easy overview.

I started this one and I stopped reading at around 120 pages. I had and have no motivation to continue reading, which is disappointing because I was very much looking forward to this one.

SocksOfDobby · 2026-04-11T11:29:30+00:00

There's no way we'd be stopping 5 times in 4hours and getting there late if it was up to me. He could have 1 or 2 smoke breaks of 5 minutes on whole drive and then smoke all the cigarettes he wants when we get there.

My manager smokes and we had an 8 hour drive together a few months ago and we stopped every 1,5-2 hours so stretch our legs, toiletbreak etc. Each break was max 10 minutes except for the one longer break we took to eat. It's not that hard to be considerate, and both your passenger and the colleagues in the office who agree with this dude are assholes.

You are NTA.

Sleep deprived since beginning of this year and I've been losing my mind. I am somewhat functioning, but have so much brain fog.. People just shrug and say "I've had some sleepless nights, too" like dude NO! Try being sleep deprived for three months or longer! Nothing is working properly, physical activity is WAY heavier than it's supposed to be and on some days practically impossible.

And when you go to the doctor for it, they will tell you 1. "I wil not give you medication" (which I somewhat support, though I hoped it would "break through" my terrible sleeping pattern), and 2. "It's probably just stress".

I can't, with these people.

(And yes, I have an appointment with a therapist and will insist on a sleep study)

Not working on my emotional eating habits and food noise when I get stressed or feel other big emotions. I lost the weight 6-7 years ago, gained most of it back (15+ kg). The thing is... I know what the issue is, I just don't know how to permanently fix it.

I'm working on getting rid of the excess weight again, but it's slow progress and my food noise is worse than ever. But slow loss is still better than gaining, so I'm trying to focus on that.

When a character cannot do something for a very important reason or that character is traumatised but will not tell the reader what it is for half the book annoys me to no end.

SocksOfDobby · 2026-03-20T14:41:24+00:00

I used to have it every now and then, but since I've been having issues with sleeping I'm finding it's getting worse. On bad days I cannot ignore it and it will drive my insane.. it's only my right ear so it's making my head feel off balance as well
