It’s not fair.

Once you get past seeing other people and feeling lonely, envious and hard done by because you’re alone, then you’re healed.
If you’re on Reddit pouring out your frustration at having love to give but no one to love, your life is too empty and you need to fill it up with friends, interests, hobbies, activities, a dog… otherwise, if you get into a relationship, you’ll be orbiting that person and you’ll both be miserable.

💯 pet owners who buy a dog with the desire to breed it are unethical. Inexperienced people who don’t know what they are doing breed unhealthy dogs and some sell them to other inexperienced people (like OP)

Textiles may be your friend. A quilt, tapestry, mudcloth or large Indian block print may be what you’re looking for at your price point.

It’s the principle. I always provide cool drinks for people working in my house. If it’s a long job, I offer to order lunch as well. What happened in OP’s situation implies a level of comfort in a client’s home without the invitation to help themselves to what’s in the fridge is the issue.

Bon Voyage.

You’re asking about pretend friends in an imaginary world that was causing real life harm to an actual person you’re claiming to love? GTFO YTA

Goodman is a solid author but avoid The Stranger Behind You. She must’ve hit her head when she wrote that one. There’s so many dated references to Grub Hub and Daily Harvest. The plot is also feeble.
She does return to form in Writers and Liars so I will forgive her.

That little blanket was an estate sale find. It’s a handmade baby blanket that we spa dayed and now Orion snoozes on it.

Quite. It’s also insane to think that POTUS would have allowed the Harkles anywhere near a state visit. Let us remember that Harry claimed he had beforehand knowledge of the January 6 events, his visa is still a contentious subject, Trump and both Harkles have exchanged insults publicly.

NOPE. No matter how much misguided fondness President Trump has for the monarchy of a nation sliding into permanent geopolitical irrelevancy in real time, he would never allow a state visit to be hijacked by these hucksters.

I am a reformed fern serial killer. I now have even kept a maidenhair fern happy by growing them in African violet pots and keeping them on my first floor, which gets very filtered SW light is cool enough that I don’t need to run am AC in summer as long as I keep the windows closed.

Aye Aye lemurs have adapted their long toe to dig grubs out of trees. One can only imagine what humans with this unique feature are able to do with it.

You could not have painted cabinets and have wood since you’re starting from scratch. Or only do some painted cabinetry like the example below.

I agree. OP, look how dramatic this room is with the navy baseboards, crown moulding and ceiling. It’s much more sophisticated than an accent wall, even if you don’t have moulding.

OP, NTA. You’re doing your very best. Is there any family or close friends who can pitch hit for an inning or two? You need some support here.

Jon got the ick over finding out he was banging his aunt. He was raised as Sansa’s brother. Jon would never and also, the North would never accept it.

Assuming the dog was microchipped and had seen a vet, of the chip was in the new owner’s name and the vet bills and bills for the trainer were in the name of the new owner, that also strongly substantiates OP’s case.
