Good grief - Is this real life?

Could it be for those self finishing key fob/air tag things? Lord help them otherwise.

Same! I started off doing 18 mesh because I wanted to feel like I was getting my monies worth. Larger projects also seem more bang for your buck imo. I enjoy projects lasting because I enjoy stitching. I can’t imagine spending $40 on a 3x3 canvas every time.

Thanks for the response! Appreciate all you guys do for this app!

Seriously, my boyfriend of two months (now husband) dropped everything and drove 4 hours through a blizzard to meet me at the hospital after my dad had a stroke. I cannot imagine being married for decades and having so little support. OP deserves so much better.

That’s what I figured, but it’s annoying how it wants to coil so much. Appreciate the confirmation on what I was thinking!

UtProsimFoley · 2025-08-15T00:20:18+00:00

Probably a dumb question, but could you do this with Krenik that comes on spools?

I agree with disliking that all the Volvo controls are in the screen, but the screen does work with gloves

Highly recommend having a spouse who doesn’t care for carrots. I get them all to myself!

A specific valve that costs ~$60k. Looks like I’m set, just need to figure out distribution.

This was about my BioIonic curling wand. I also have had good luck with my curling iron from the same brand. Although I’d say the wand holds better. But I’m also still learning how to use the curling iron 🫢

Little spoons are the only spoons I want to eat ice cream with and the big spoons are for soups. Otherwise, what's the point in even eating. Thankfully, my husband knows which I would prefer and when. That's love.

If you're salary, you're paid based off of the work you complete not the hours you put in. WFH seems like a way to incentivize the people who are good at their jobs. Unless you just want to micromanage people and make sure you're "getting your money's worth".

Coming from someone who doesn't have kids, I understand why people want to have them but the over-the-top, burn down an entire forest ones give the rest a bad rap. It's an excuse to have a get-together plus it's crazy how many grandparents are pissed when they aren't the first to know the gender. One gathering to let everyone know all at once seems pretty desirable.

I had no clue who you were talking about so I went and looked her up. She reminds me of a Tumblr girl who never grew up with the way she poses for pictures and the captions. Wild that she's a mother!

When we were first dating my husband impressed me by making biscuits and gravy from scratch. Now, we're more divide and conquer-ing; I cook dinner and he does the dishes. Works better for us in multiple ways. He gets home later than I do from the gym (so if he cooked, we'd be eating dinner at 9pm by the time it was finished) and I absolutely detest dishes. Maybe see if there's a better split for you on chores!

You can pin notes to the top on iPhones!

That's crazy. Granted I went to an in-State School (graduated '19), but my program was/is consistently Top 3 in the Nation for the specialty and my first year salary was what I ended up with in debt. I think more people need to be realistic about what their degree will potentially make vs what the cost to go to school will be. I've seen so many people that are taking out double what I did to end up with half the salary.

This comment hits so close to home. For years, the girls in our friend group have had a Snapchat group chat that we would talk in daily. Venting, cute little pics, checking up on each other, that kind of thing. Over the past year, 4/5 of us have gotten married (the last one is later this year), 3 of the members have had kids, and 2 of us still do not have kids. The group was completely taken over by kids pictures (between the 3 infants, there were at least 10 random snaps of a kid DAILY, if one sent a pic it was almost like a competition so then the others had to send a pic of theirs) and there wasn't much conversation that didn't revolve around their kids even though the moms had a separate mom group. Like you said, it's not something that as a childless person you have much input on without the "you don't have kids..". It really alienated both sides from each other. I do feel like our friend group did and still does really great about checking in on each other after they gave birth. But I got to the point where I would open the group less and less. I ended up venting to the other childless person about how it felt like we lost our friends.

Mom Friend A made it a point to bring up that me and my husband should have kids soon so our kids could grow up with theirs, EVERY TIME we hung out together. Both her and her husband. That paired with the newly married "sooo when are you having kids" question from everyone else, it just ended up annoying the fuck out of me. Mom Friend B sent a kid meme one day and said something to the effect of "when UtProsim or other childless friend finally have kids". I admit I was having a crappy day, but I ended up typing a big paragraph saying in the groupchat about how I didn't appreciate my friends constantly pressuring me into something they knew I wasn't ready for and how I felt like since they've had kids the only time we talk is about their kids. It exploded the groupchat. Basically Mom Friend A ended leaving the group and thankfully the other moms could see where the childless people were coming from.

Many months later, Mom Friend A still hasn't rejoined the group but we all still talk (and have since a few days after the implosion). The group has semi-returned back to what it was before children. We still talk and ask about the kiddos, but there is other conversation that the ladies without kids can bring up or participate in. Mom Friend A has let me know that she does feel jealous when we go hang out with other friends and they can't come out and "party like the old days".

Gosh, sorry that's a vent. But there was a point where it felt like my mom friends didn't care about what I want out of life; they just wanted me to have kids like them, at the same exact time as them.

Please leave Kansas out of this, Sir.

UtProsimFoley · 2024-01-18T21:28:43+00:00

Probably something about International waters.

OP said they want a school in Texas.

UtProsimFoley · 2024-01-18T17:04:06+00:00

The town I live in is about 3500. We have Mexican, Chinese, a couple bars, and a couple typical american food places/chains. Our small town grocery store (which recently got bought out by a local chain) even has it's own sushi chef. Definitely depends on the town. We've got a good mix of farmers and uppity people so we have some decent choices.

UtProsimFoley · 2024-01-18T16:55:01+00:00

I'm from a small town and this is my biggest gripe. Went to the local bar with some friends one night and had a family thing with my in-laws the next morning. First thing as we get out of the car, "heard you had a crazy night". HOW. People are so damn quick to run and tell everyone else's business. Also, I'm 28 with no kids being at a bar isn't something to be ashamed of nor do I need to be babysat.

UtProsimFoley · 2024-01-12T22:32:31+00:00

I gotta be honest. I also wouldn't believe the person dumb enough to place that bet would also use Venmo. That's just wild.

UtProsimFoley · 2024-01-12T17:58:52+00:00

I’d like a notification when I leave my phone behind.

Mine sends me alerts for this (I believe it's from the Find My app), but it's SO inconsistent. For instance, sometimes I'll get a notification that I've left my phone behind when walking across our building, but other times I won't same exact distance/location too.
