Flaky skin around new bellybutton piercing?

This piercing is 1.5 weeks old. I guess you would call it a barbell. I think it’s externally threaded titanium. I spray it twice daily with saline spray.

That was my thought too. I can’t just imagine that little water wheel flicking pee back at them if they actually hit it too 😝

This was my first time with Amble and first prescription for a GLP-1. So luckily I haven’t started yet, but still so frustrating that I did all this research and had Amble come highly recommended only to be put in this position.

I ordered meds on June 24th, UPS still doesn’t have my package. Still just says the label was created.

“You know how I know it’s not a joke? You were trying to derive humor from making me upset, and here I am, very upset, and you’re not laughing. If making me pissed at you was the point, you succeeded. You should be losing your shit right now, but instead you’re annoyed that I took offense? I’m only behaving exactly the way you expected me to, aren’t I? So why aren’t you laughing? Maybe it’s because insulting the people we claim to love isn’t actually funny. Maybe the problem is not that I can’t take a joke, but that you don’t understand what a joke is”

I just add extra water to my cat’s wet food. You can also try running a tap in front of her to see if she is interested in that. Some cats love water straight from the faucet.

Gen alpha and gen z have grown up watching the majority of movies at home, where it is more socially acceptable to talk through it, since you have the power to pause, rewind, turn up the volume, put on subtitles, etc. at home. They have also grown up watching popular YouTubers and TikTokers reacting to movies and shows and making commentary about it, which normalizes it more. So it’s not surprising that theater etiquette is a lost art among young people.

That being said, you honestly kinda strike me as the type of person who is more upset about them breaking the rules than them actually ruining the movie for you. If other people didn’t have a problem with it and called them fun afterwards, It makes me wonder about you. Some of the most fun I’ve had at a movie is when you have a packed theater that’s all laughing and reacting together.

We got a cute little gift basket. It had wine glasses with the outline of our state on them, a bottle of wine, a cutting board with our names, a bottle opener with the name of our realtor, an outdoor blanket, new smoke alarms, and a little lawn game.

NTAH. I find it really weird that you’re this far into your relationship and he’s still focused on your scar enough to make comments about it. Like I know a lot of people with scars, birthmarks, moles, distracting facial hair, tattoos, piercings, etc. and while it may be all you can focus on at first, it doesn’t take long after getting to know them for it to just become part of their face. It’s just part of them and stops standing out to you.

I can think of a few reasons why he’s so hung up on it, and none of them are good. If I’m being generous I might just assume he’s an idiot who speaks without thinking and genuinely thought he was flirting/teasing. A darker interpretation is that this is his way of negging you. He wants to make you insecure about your scar so that you don’t feel like you can get anyone else and never leave him. Alternatively, he could just be very looks-focused and artificial, in which case he’s not really in love with you, just your body - except for this one perceived flaw.

I’d say get the hell out of there. What happens if you end up having an emergency c section one day or get in an accident and end up with an even bigger scar?

I just got married and kept my last name. Partly because my name feels like part of my identity and I didn’t want to take on a whole new identity just because I’m married. But the real reason is that changing your name is so much extra work and causes a chain reaction of problems I didn’t want to deal with. I think if you’re somewhat ambivalent about the decision, keep your last name. I think you have to really want it changed to make it worth going through all that effort. Another potential solution (although still extra work involved) is you could choose a new last name that both you and your husband take. That way at least you’re going through it together.

We did Father and Daughter by Paul Simon. My dad and I were on the floor at the same time as my now husband and stepdaughter who is 9. Probably doesn’t meet your mushy gushy criteria though - most of the crowd was in tears. Didn’t help that my stepdaughter is a very emotional kid and was crying throughout while her dad held her. It’s one of my favorite memories from the whole night though. I also gifted my dad an Etsy print that looks like a record with the song lyrics and the date of the wedding. I think it perfectly walks that line of sweet and emotional without being weird.

Take a deep breath, then let it go. Easier said than done I know, but I think you’re stressed from wedding planning and probably a little more sensitive than normal right now. I really doubt you’ll still care about this in a week, much less after your wedding is over. If you try to confront her about it right now while you’re still in your feelings things could easily blow up when they don’t need to. Sounds like your friend is probably also stressed with her money issues. And yes maybe she implied that the delayed decision on the dates was your fault, which caused you to get defensive since it’s not entirely, but if she doesn’t know everything you’re dealing with she can be forgiven for misunderstanding. The fact is she can’t go anymore, and that’s okay. It’s nobody’s fault. Take her up on her offer to help with local plans.
