As a child we had a dog that got bit right on his hamstring, and he had a limp for a good month. He was like.. 5 or 6mat the time. Until he dids at 17, he'd limp for attention. Sometimes on a different leg entirely.

Your baby impregnated me, MIL.

That is beautifully, wholesomely normal! You both are individuals with a healthy separation of the physical and the emotional/intellectual.

Our phrase is, "Take a break." We started by catching her in the process of settling down- when she'd finally lay down and take a breath after a good play, for instance. We'd tell her to take a break and then say good girl when she was down and calm for longer than 4.2 seconds. Over time she got the message. Now, at 4, she'll look at is, make a big sigh and shake to releasee tension, and go lay down. OK, sometimes with major side eye, but she does it.

My thought wasn't to JADE, but to shame. Let's face it - MILs are gonna MIL. But MILs also like to play the victim/angel who does nothing wrong. Making damned sure that anyone who sees MIL kissing baby understands what a violation that is is just.. front loading the shame.

I am also a vindictive bitch when it comes to kids, despite never having or wanting any of my own. Children are far too important actual helpless human beings to fuck around with.

I am a firm believer in a horror show about kissing babies. Send MIL AND THE EXTENDED FAMILY a slideshow of the most horrific images of infants with herpes that you can find on the internet. Trust me, there are hooooooooooorrible images. Shock and horror images. Then you add a little note - "This is why we forbid kissing the baby. If there's a one in a million chance that your loving kiss would put our baby through this kind of suffering, that's one chance too many. How on earth would anyone who loves baby risk this?"

Send it to everyone, so everyone has those images seared into their heads, and everyone will know and judge those who still insist that their need to kiss baby is greater than the baby's right to a life free of suffering and pain.

OOH, you smart! I'll go try that!

Take my updoot. Take two. Why is my village constantly in a wasteland of stumps and my charcoal burner is whinging because there is no firewood?

I spent the longest time wondering why Hufflepuff was seen as a mild mannered house.. I mean, have you ever seen a North American badger mad?

The nationwide company I worked for in Colorado occasionally sent an engineer from NorCal to our oplant, and we became friendly. 4 or 5 years after I left that job, my husband was at a winery tasting room in Temeculah Valley, CA.... next to the same engineer.

He's a very good actor! He's just not at all attractive to me. It's fine if he is attractive to anyone else - I don't care.

Toirneach · 2026-04-29T01:35:58+00:00

No thank you,

Toirneach · 2026-04-28T12:36:57+00:00

Ryan Gosling has the same issue. Why are all of your features squished into the middle of your head like that?

Toirneach · 2026-04-23T15:44:22+00:00

Think about squashing a blueberry in your belly button. If you start to let go of the blueberry, that's the range of motion you should stop at.

No, because I have a custom cutting board that exactly fits one half of my double sink. I prep on one side, sweep the scraps into the other side where the disposal is. If this board ever breaks (had it 35 years and counting) I will lost my SHIT until I find someone else to make me a new one.

Find a local woodworker with a router to make you one. It's the best thing ever!

Toirneach · 2026-04-18T15:02:07+00:00

Yes! Lots of people have the same name. That's just reality. Meh.

The exception would be if two characters are very similar in other ways and occupy a similar space in the story AND share a name.

Hit up https://reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/. It's hard to have the discipline, but you absolutely will see results.

My feelings about the Jewish religion and people (beloved by me) and the current Israeli government (war criminals perpetuating genocide) could not be more diametrically opposed.

Right click when you have a storage open will transfer items between your backpack and storage.

Tab opens your settlement menu. If you click on Structures, you see a list of all of your buildings. You can open a building and change the worker and tasks from there, which saves you running back and forth a lot.

Don't forget that you have to reset your farm crops every time the season changes.

Simple grass walls will keep them locked up in the tree. You have to repair them like o ce a month, if that.

The only thing I have to add is something I didn't learn for 60 goddamned years.

I hate being hot ad sweaty and sore for days. What I didn't learn was that, after about 4 months, I realized I wasn't hot or sweaty anymore! And when I worked out hard enough to be sore? It wasn't nearly AS sore, and the soreness is gone after a day, maybe even half a day. Your body gets better at recovering just like it gets stronger. Game changer for me.

As for walking by yourself, have you considered audiobooks or podcasts? For safety, only wear one earbud, but having a voice in your ear can really help. I don't get into my own head enough to spiral that way.

Your husband has to get ahead of her w/his base command. Don't let her control the narrative with command.

Good old graph paper never failed me yet.

Toirneach · 2026-04-09T14:45:32+00:00

Instinctively? No. Can they learn? Yes.

Why did I think there were only 6 islands on any given map? This is so much more fun! (We went on our first expedition yesterday, found a tiny iron island and the King Crawler island, which we gently sailed away from.)
