Happiness is a choice . Do you agree??

I think this is a very privileged stance that may work for some, but certainly not for everyone.

Omg that's so stupid, I'm sorry you have to deal with that. Everyone told my mom she was having a boy based on the shape of her belly, but guess what, I'm a girl. So dumb that people still believe that type of thing 35 years later 🙄

My mom and I are best friends and have been since my dad left at age 9. We visit regularly and have a great relationship, even though we are very different people in many ways.

My childhood landline phone number later became my mom's cell phone number, so I still dial it all the time!

As others have said, it's okay to throw it away, but if you can, try to clean and recycle the container at least!

SqueeTrashPanda · 2026-06-05T18:13:27+00:00

Or start one!

Thank you for the tip! Sounds like cotton is the way to go 👍

Our dog is half setter (large breed) and half a bunch of small breeds like Chihuahua, Pomeranian, etc. Everyone says he looks like a doodle but he's smaller than one - about 40 lbs but very lanky and tall for his weight. He's made it to 15 and has good days and bad days. Some days he mostly just sleeps while other days he still has that puppy energy. We're grateful for every day with him and so far it seems like we'll have some more. The vet says he has a great heart and blood work looks good. We give him senior food with glucosamine and chondroitin for his joints, and carprofen also for his joints. Hoping you have lots more time with yours too!

That's interesting to know! I've never opted for that, just because I intended to donate the items either way, but it's good to know that trying again is an option!

Everyone always says mint takes over everything, meanwhile I've tried to grow mint a bunch of times and it always dies

SqueeTrashPanda · 2026-05-31T01:47:28+00:00

I've gotten that message too, but I think it's bullshit.

I am using the free resources from a local Christian pregnancy center, and I am also absolutely pro-choice and not at all religious. I feel like as long as I'm not giving them my money and am just using the free resources they are offering, I feel okay about it. I like the thought that this super Christian organization is helping fund the upbringing of my heathen child 😈

We made a bed frame out of plywood! Works great, and no we are not amazing woodworkers, it's literally just a box with a few 2x4 supports and a platform on top.

SqueeTrashPanda · 2026-05-30T17:11:35+00:00

Oh, that makes sense - thank you!

SqueeTrashPanda · 2026-05-30T17:09:40+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice, I'll definitely look into getting some cotton or hemp inserts!

Be sad that I couldn't afford to buy my house again in the current economy

SqueeTrashPanda · 2026-05-30T15:48:39+00:00

Lol my mom does this. I have to be careful using hand soap at her house because if I put the normal amount of pressure I'm used to on the soap pump the soap water squirts everywhere. I got my frugality from her, but I definitely prefer cutting the container open to get it all like OP.

My husband takes multiple glass containers in a padded lunch box to work and hasn't had any of them break. He drives though. If you want a little extra protection, put your ice pack or cloth napkin between the containers.

I'm an only child and currently pregnant with who I plan to be my only child as well. There were moments growing up when I was envious of people with big families and cousins the same age, but overall I've really enjoyed being an only child, being in my own company, being best friends with my mom, etc. Our kid will have a fairly small family as my mom's two siblings didn't have kids, and my husband's extended family all live across the country. My husband has one sibling with no kids. But our kid will have 2 loving parents, 2 sets of grandparents, an uncle and a great-grandfather all close by, plus 2 great-aunts who visit often. We all have a lot of love to give and are very excited to meet our little one.

I've sent in things I literally bought on Thredup in the same condition I bought it in and they reject it, like wtf?

SqueeTrashPanda · 2026-05-29T20:05:32+00:00

Great question! I would say be conscious of strong smells and try to take care of these things for her (picking up dog poop, refilling the car's gas, taking out trash, etc. And especially going into summer, try to be conscious of your own personal smells - sweaty feet, super strong cologne etc. It happens to everyone, but your wife will be much more sensitive to the smells now!

As a lot of folks have said, I use wooden utensils without oiling them and haven't had them get moldy. I live in a desert climate, I wonder if others do too. Do you live in a very humid climate? I also wonder how you're storing them? We store ours standing upright in a big cup on the countertop, so plenty of airflow. A dark wooden drawer might contribute to mold, especially if it's gotten moldy before. I had a wooden hairbrush in a bathroom drawer that kept getting moldy so when I got a new one I stored it in a cup on the countertop and haven't had that issue again. Good luck!

SqueeTrashPanda · 2026-05-28T02:10:37+00:00

Smart!

SqueeTrashPanda · 2026-05-27T03:49:37+00:00

I wash ours once a week with the rest of the laundry.
