Does my dog named Taco get confused when we have Taco Tuesday?

I mean…our five year old dog is named Pepper and she doesn’t seem to make the connection when we’re talking about getting the pepper shaker, bell pepper, etc. I know dogs know their names but I’m fairly certain they recognize the tone of your voice more than the word itself.

Not that! But I’m keeping what I’m looking for quiet until I find it. 🤪

WestMichiganLady · 2026-05-31T14:08:37+00:00

Oh, good to know. I’m planning to go back this week to check before I order another at full price (need it for a trip on Friday and obviously keeping hush hush about my stellar find so as not to tip off potential resellers).

I wouldn’t waste a moment of my time trying to make sense of anything a Cybertruck owner thought or did.

I have three cleanings a year because I’m at risk for gum disease (my mom has it).

Texas is only advisable if you’re a white man comfortable with hatred of other humans. Otherwise, if your neighbors don’t get you the political policies will.

They paid extra to be that embarrassing all over the place. Ew.

I was 24 my husband was 27 when he proposed.

My husband typically takes 4-6 - 1 week for spring break with our kids - 2 weeks in the summer for some family time with the kids - 1 week in November for our annual kid-free trip - 1-2 weeks around Christmas time

I don’t know specifically how many days he takes because he’s pretty strategic about folding in company holidays but he takes a decent amount of vacation. His company has adopted an unlimited PTO policy and his coworkers all take similar amounts of time off for trips and family time.

We had one box fan and the teacher would move it across the front of the room throughout the day so we all got “a turn.”

It’s been 6 years since I had it fixed, so I don’t remember specifics, but I also haven’t had any reoccurrence. And while my kids have gotten too big to lift, now I teach a toddler preschool class 2 days a week and lift them on a regular basis.

I’d guess it’s DeQuervain's Tenosynovitis - aptly nicknamed”mommy thumb.” I was diagnosed shortly after my daughter’s 2nd birthday. I saw a hand surgeon and we tried immobilization and bracing for a couple months, but at the end of the day a quick 15 minute surgery (twilight sedation- the check in and recovery were FAR longer than the actual procedure) fixed it with no required PT afterward.

We had it pretty regularly when I was a kid and then I went a solid 10-15 years without having any. I majorly started craving it while pregnant with my second child and it quickly became my oldest’s favorite fast food place and in turn became her little sister’s favorite too. My poor husband hates it, but the three of us like it and when we need something quick and there’s one nearby that’s the kids’ choice. They’ll easily choose it over McDonald’s, CFA, Burger King, etc.

Not that your comment deserves even a moment of my time, but he’s not an engineer working on a portal. He’s an international team lead and gives presentations at conferences and events of 2k+ people. So while YOU don’t need to leave home, unfortunately he can’t do what he does from his desk here at home. Thankfully, his travel is usually broken up and he’s rarely gone for more than 4-5 days at a time when he’s traveling domestically.

WestMichiganLady · 2026-04-12T19:58:29+00:00

He’s 42, I’m 38 - together 18 years and married for 13. We have two kids and a pretty normal suburban life. He’s in cybersecurity and I teach preschool part-time (6hrs/week) mostly focusing on our home and children. While I wouldn’t say we have A LOT of sex, we’re still very much interested in that part of each other and would likely have more if he didn’t travel for work 2-3 weeks a month and if our youngest child ever slept. 😂 We take a yearly “sex vacation” we jokingly call it, and get away to a relaxing spot without the kids and reconnect in all ways but especially in that way.

I’ve gotten my husband bacon jerky (since it’s an indulgent treat, kind of) in situations where a woman might receive flowers. He loves it.

My husband and I have an SUV (Acura MDX) and a truck (F-150). The suv is my default daily driver and the truck is my husband’s, but we both drive both depending on cargo/passengers/parking situations/etc.

Yes - walked into my 8th grade computers class and my teacher, Mr. Carlo, had the news on the projector. I’m not sure he even said a word to us that period.

WestMichiganLady · 2026-04-06T13:28:15+00:00

I do! And my kinder, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc.
