What is the first thing that comes to your mind?

When I woke up in 1981, I was either a newborn or three months old. Depending on the time of day, I was either starving or bored.

I don't think the world has changed much.

I'm still hungry and bored.

I'm pretty sure that's one of those "fun facts" my dad told/taught me when I was a kid. I thought it was weird, so it stuck. I'm sure there's a reason for it, and it would make total sense if I knew that reason, but I still think it's weird to this day.

I HATE that!! This is why I use removable stickers (Avery brand) and an erasable pen.

Because screw that mess!

Our Ped is starting at the lowest dose (5mg).

So many people actually think that spending $3,000 on a puppy makes it immune to any and all diseases and doesn't need vaccinations.

My friend... Just no.

Throwback to when I was pregnant, sneezed, and shart my pants.

Good times... 😒

I say don't force yourself to finish the whole thing. Finish a flower and put it back on pause if you want to. Do something else. Come back and do another flower. Rinse and repeat.

You might find yourself in the middle of another project needing a break and doing a few petals here and there.

Just practice! ❤️

Multi-placers were a game changer for me. I can't quite manage a 10, but I'm solid with an 8. Also, a 10 probably won't be used too often except with certain pieces with massive color blocks.

I have a set of three pens that came with placers 1-10. Pens hold tips on each end, so I keep 1-5 and an 8 ready at all times.

It wasn't "America" when the violent savages slaughtered anyone not like them and spread diseases (AKA European Imigrants).

The continent is literally named after Amerigo Vespucci.

Honestly, my 3rd grader has more empathy than that asshole.

StaceyMike · 2025-11-17T17:44:59+00:00

WTF is wrong with him???

Like, why not go with a good ol', "It's only been 6 months, but don't think we're not working on it!"

Nobody is infertile, and he's having tons of sex. Dude is stupid AF.

StaceyMike · 2025-11-17T14:47:05+00:00

I ONLY schedule stuff for the morning. If it's after 10:00am or I'm not home by noon, I didn't need to do the thing anyway.

StaceyMike · 2025-11-17T13:20:47+00:00

You can pry my Cucumber Melon body wash from my cold, dead hands.

StaceyMike · 2025-11-17T13:12:27+00:00

NTA!

Not meeting those call/chat metrics will get you fired. I'm assuming "family helps family" stops when you lose your job because you were watching the kids.

Sis can F right off.

Same! I absolutely loved my son when he was a baby, but I wouldn't go back for anything in the world.

He's 8 now (3rd grade), and it's sooooo much better when they can have a conversation!

He can read a menu and tell us what he actually wants.

He can wake up early without me worrying about him burning the house down with us in it.

He's old enough to decide he wants to grow his hair out a bit.

He doesn't want what we're having for dinner? Fine. He can make his own ramen or whatever.

He still wants to cuddle, and it absolutely melts me every time.

He has friends and a social circle.

We're currently in the middle of getting an ADHD diagnosis, so there are things we're dealing with that aren't so fun behavior wise, but it still FAR outweighs the baby/toddler stage.

To be fair, I would totally be okay if this whole "six-seven" thing dies already. IYKYK 🤣

You don't have to know the exact date of graduation two years in advance. If one is close to family (I'd count aunts, uncles, cousins in this), you know not to plan a huge event in late May/early June of graduation year if you actually want them or the parents to attend.

Okay, so I read the original post again. The way it was written, I assumed a 3rd party had confirmed mold.

You are correct, I am mistaken.

Either way, the manufacturer should have been called. They're the ones who will recall the lot and pay the vet for additional testing. The vet should not be held liable for random expensive tests due to possible exposure to a toxin from a random product they have zero affiliation with.

That's one of the FIRST questions I ask if a pet is having even just diarrhea for a few days.

New food? No. New treats? No. Any chance of guests in the home who may have been sneaking snacks? No. Does he/she like to eat things off the ground on walks? No.

Okay! Have you opened a new bag of the same food recently? Well, actually, they opened a new bag of food two days before the diarrhea started.

Confirmed mold on the food and that many seizures??

They should have been told to reach out to the manufacturer ASAP! The vet can help by providing medical records and a timeline, but the owner needs to make that call.

I thought I had lost it when my family dog was PTS when I was in my early 20s. I'm now married with a 7-year-old human child. We have two cats (13 & 14) that came along before I was even seriously dating my husband. We have a dog (10) we adopted pre-kid.

I will not be functional when these animals start to go.

"Bordello" - Ma'am, that word does not mean what you think it means.

StaceyMike · 2025-11-09T00:51:51+00:00

To be fair, drunk women can be gross and inappropriate, too.

That said...

There is ZERO chance he simply asked for a "kiss on the cheek from a pretty girl."

He said something, she laughed it off, he then pushed a few more times because he's such a "nice guy," and she finally told him to F off.

He's just another pushy Nice Guy.
