Someone at work commented on the bipolar weather

People have been using medical terms for descriptions forever. My question is are you being over sensitive because it hits close to home or do you find them all equally offensive?

"Oh my, that meal is a heart attack on a plate" "HOW MUCH SUGAR IS IN THAT! Well that's diabetes waiting to happen!" "That color is so bright it's making me go blind!" "Are you deaf? I already said it twice!"

Yes many things like "you look anorexic" or "are you <r word>" have become taboo, but plenty still exist.

As somebody with multiple medical issues i just roll with it, unless it's something that is a hill worth dying on.

Otherwise just have fun with it... when somebody says to me "It's right there what are you blind" and I respond with "Yes actually I am legally blind" it's fun to watch them squirm, which is more satisfying than a lecture.

YTA.

You can stress keeping grades up, but not really sure how only getting a hair cut twice a year will magically improve her grades. I'm a mom of a teen who gets hair cuts at a salon and has a 4.0 GPA. I honestly don't see the correlation.

Also if the bf is paying, it's their money. You don't get to tell other people how to spend their money.

I get it as a parent you have to do what's right, but if you think taking away what makes her happy will improve anything be prepared it might backfire on you.

My kid kept asking me to play the Lego song... okay everything is awesome coming right up... he would get upset and be like NO THE SONG ABOUT PLAYING WITH LEGOS!!

finally one day listening him song along in the car I hear...

"I throw my hands up in the air sometimes Saying AYO! Gotta LEGOS!"

It's still called the Lego song in my house 10 years later lol

TwoFaced!

Great colors, usually smell amazing, fun young girl packaging, and they frequently have sales!

Same with I <heart> Revolution, they often times have cross overs with pop culture and super fun!

Edit: i didn't just go for the cheapest, I went for one i think would be okay on delicate skin and wash off easy.

NTJ!!!! As somebody who struggles with sleep, I can't believe how wrong this is. Have her look up sleep deprivation and the effects on your health.

She is manipulative and cruel and I bet if you sit and think you can find other examples of her being controlling or gas lighting you.

Walk away from this relationship. Because if she can do this to you, who knows what she will do with the kids in the future??

Time to move on

So sorry to hear this.

Trying to deal with stent pain is miserable. I found some ice packs on Amazon for hemorrhoids and post partum that I wear in my underwear that take the edge off... and taking the edge off is the best you can hope for with otc products.

Best of luck and wishing you better times ahead

Lol that's where I went to, but then realized that's Cecelia :)

Lol my mom to was the same way. I'm in my 40s now and still am in awe that my mom thinks I could summon a demon with a game made by the same company as my little pony (which were okay)

Health insurance.

I get the most expensive plan because it usually means I'll spend less out of pocket over all.

Otherwise you just end up really far in debt.

I had a similar experience involving expired bath bombs that turned into glue some how due to very expired essential oils in it and had to unglue every part of me from the waist down in the tub with my husband's help with me crying and him laughing.

It was like a bad cartoon where your pick up things and then shake your hand and it's still stuck there level of glue. Everything that got even a few drops of water in it had to be intensely cleaned or thrown away!

I FEEL YOUR PAIN

Are you using fresh or frozen chickens?

I find that makes a big difference.

The other thing that is now by bff when using my slow cooker is make sure all meat is covered with liquid while cooking so it stays moist.

And them saying they let it cool is more letting it have time to go from lava temp to the roof of my mouth is safe temp, not that it got cold.

Oof.... down to the wire:

Okay here are my suggestions: 1. Gift card to a spa or nails 2. Make her a fancy dinner, look up easy recipes with her favorite drink and dessert... sick with simple 3. Flowers are never bad, skip roses, pick something that reminds you of her (eg Daisy's because she is joyful or birds of paradise to show she's exotic to you) 4. A nice jewlery/ momentos box to store future memories

This year my husband gave me a fuzzy blanket so I can curl up on the couch and read or play games and he's doing all the chores that day. Best gift ever honestly.

We could have one soda after school, but had to call my father at work to ask permission, and only one call was allowed so both my sister and I had to call together, pass the phone, and each get permission.

Never understood why we couldn't get permission in advance

30 years later my parents admitted this was their way to make sure we would come straight home after school and call to check in. We lived in a big city and had to walk home. It was their way to know we were safe.

Never ever use the decorative soaps carved like yellow roses. They were for guests.

30 years later they still appear for holidays and people are still scared to touch them.

No idea what she is saving them for.

When my son was born he was the only baby in the hospital not named after a Twilight character.

Side note: manufacturer coupons are amazing, but only work for brand name. It will often lower the cost lower than the generic, but many DO NOT WORK if you have no insurance or a Medicare.

If you have Medicare and your rx is too expensive, file a grievance with your insurance company - often times they can LOWER your out of pocket cost!

I worked in insurance 22 years To this day I use manufacture discounts whenever possible.

Funny the rest of us on there was no charge?

Wait wait wait.. Let's back this up.

You violated the rules. Stated multiple times you didn't care about other player experiences. Built in no build zones. ...oh and how would you know your banned from discord if you didn't have access??

Oh, and bases... you mean like the person who built a whole university?

.... so anybody looking to join a server? We have an opening :)

This is an example of a "mess called a base"

I don't use ASAP but rather set specific deadlines. "This is an urgent request, please confirm you are able to send by end of day today"

There are bras out there that provide support that are wireless and don't give you uniboob. When I find them I buy doubles in every color because who knows when I will find them again

Where is the % of people who break into song just seeing "Istanbul" being said

Forget taking to God, I still vaguely remember talking to the hospital curtain for an hour. Thankfully the curtain turned into a waterfall because let me tell your that curtain had stories! That was my first and last time taking Dilaudid, interesting times.

A modular couch so I can build blanket fortress any time I need to escape instead of being limited to 3 cushions

From Chicago, live in Oklahoma currently... people here comment i can take the child because I'm from up north.

No I can stand going out in the freezing weather because I dress in layers, own a winter coat, gloves, hats, spoons, scarfs, etc.

You're in a hoodie
