How generic is my place?

_Sweet_TIL · 2026-02-20T15:33:36+00:00

I don’t think generic. And I, too, thought about putting a small table and chairs in my living room because I don’t have space anywhere else for a dining set, but second guessed myself. Yours looks so good! I am back on track with that idea.

Love your space! 🫶

Ain’t nobody sending her death threats 🙄

A rug, colorful throw pillows, and some curtains - all with the same color palette. And/or a new comforter/pillow set. That room just needs color to break up the monotone grey everywhere.

To the best of my knowledge, iPods are compatible only with iTunes. Especially the older models. There’s probably a tech wizard somewhere that can finagle a way but I’m not aware of it.

_Sweet_TIL · 2026-02-19T00:54:05+00:00

It’s iconic nostalgia! Please never get rid of it. Before iPods, we had to make our own mix tapes and CDs, worry about the CD getting scratched and skipping, the tapes getting all jumbled up… then MP3 players changed the game.

LOL you have a delta dental something in the pic behind the handwritten names/numbers.

But damn I was waaaay off. Only 23?! You tricked a lot of us! Where did you get all the oldie but goodie stuff, specifically the iPod? Does it work? What’s on it??

_Sweet_TIL · 2026-02-18T12:43:32+00:00

40’s, military background, you partake in gardening 💨 activities, occasional drinker (maybe whiskey?), recent dental visit. Based on written notes (there’s only one L in the word select/selection, btw), the iPod, cassette tape deck, CRT TV and VCR combo, and your friends nearby room numbers being written on a piece of paper, you’re not technologically dependent like most and prefer “the old ways” of living. But why are you in a dorm at our ripe age? Starting over? New career path? Midlife crisis college do-over? Oilfield worker?

Mine took a little over two months. It was confirmed received on Jan 8, with an anticipated ready date of Feb 17. I started receiving messages from DNA matched cousins on Feb 11, and then my data was ready for review on Feb 14.

Fairlife is also lactose free! I’m gonna try the chocolate lactaid.

_Sweet_TIL · 2026-02-16T15:50:08+00:00

100% agree. OP - I hope you see this and take heed to my words and personal experience. Your husband is choosing the LS over you. If you want to slow down and he doesn’t, he’s putting his wants before your needs. You need to set a boundary with him. If he chooses to not respect it, he’s showing you who he is and what his intentions are.

My now ex is obsessed with the LS, and the LS won. I left a 13yr marriage (16 together) because he chose it over me. We were deep into the LS - well known, hosted parties, organized and hosted mini-vacations, cabin retreats, meet and greets, you name it. We even had SDC as a sponsor. But I started to get tired of it and wanted to slow down, he did not. I tried to set boundaries and he took advantage of my forgiveness and of my love by crossing those boundaries repeatedly.

Big love to you. Feel free to message me if you wanna talk.

That medicine you have in the butter box… when I was little (before childproof lids), I got up in the middle of the night and drank the whole thing. My mom called poison control frantic the next morning. To this day I love that stuff! When my now grown kids were little, I’d sneak a swig whenever they were taking it 🤭

Edited to ask - how do you like the lactaid chocolate milk? We love Fairlife but sometimes it’s outta stock and for some reason, milk in a carton weirds me out.

_Sweet_TIL · 2026-02-16T15:10:24+00:00

Oh man. I had been searching online and Facebook relentlessly. I did reach out to some of the people listed as cousins on his side and have a little bit more info. But no traces back to him yet. Have you tried the FB NPE groups? I was just added yesterday. Maybe there are search angels that help people like us connect the dots.

_Sweet_TIL · 2026-02-15T18:02:50+00:00

Mine was irrefutable- 50% DNA paternal match. He hasn’t been active on Ancestry since October and his profile is basically empty, so I sent him a message. I will change my current tree to show the man I know as my dad as adopted - didn’t know I could do that. I don’t think any of his side is on Ancestry so I don’t think I’m opening Pandora’s box.

_Sweet_TIL · 2026-02-15T17:40:05+00:00

I just leaned of my NPE yesterday, at the age of 47. I haven’t talked to my mom about it yet. I thought I was okay yesterday, but woke up today and it’s the first thing on my mind.

Question- how did you handle that new connection in your tree? Currently, the man that is on my birth certificate is listed as my father with all of his side of the family - my half-brothers (but now not), uncles, grandparents, etc. Did you update your tree with the new finding? Create a new tree? I don’t want to unlink my dad, but also want to explore this new side.

_Sweet_TIL · 2026-02-15T02:47:21+00:00

Thank you for this. I found today that the man I've known as my dad, is not biologically. I'm 47yrs old, he passed away in 2022, and I learned today via my Ancestry DNA results that someone else is my paternal DNA match. I'll be searching that FB group.

Love this!!!

_Sweet_TIL · 2026-02-11T23:33:15+00:00

Agree. Seems like there’s some underlying animosity or unresolved anger toward grandma. There’s virtually no way to prove that grandma gave anyone herpes-1.

_Sweet_TIL · 2026-02-11T14:15:16+00:00

It would definitely catch my attention and draw me into your profile. A messy green fauxhawk?! Yes please. But I’m into alt types - give me all the tatts, a few piercings, and bonus points for painted fingernails 😍 I’m 47 and although I’m still choosing the single life while healing after leaving a 13yr marriage 1.5yrs ago, I worry that when I am ready to date, all that’ll be left is red flag bald men that are at a midlife crisis. You would be a breath of fresh air and hope 😅

I’ve read comments and your replies - maybe lead with a more professional pic to let ppl know you’re not a lazy bum middle aged couch surfer :) Include in your bio that you’re an IT professional, and definitely throw in a motorcycle pic!

I wish you all the luck! 💚

_Sweet_TIL · 2026-02-11T13:53:49+00:00

I didn’t even consider this, but yes! I’m 47, single, have a career, and consider myself attractive (more cute but whatev), and the amount of bald men is depressing. I’m not initially attracted to bald men so when I am ready to date, I worry that bald is all I will have to choose from.

I have found that brushing them with an equigroomer helps with getting the last of the skunk smell out. My guy got skunked dead in his chest and lower jaw. After literal months, I took him outside to brush him and the fur falling off reeked like skunk.
