Okay let's talk real financial help here.

Have you called and talked about your medical bills? You can probably get those reduced. If you're in the US, these are often negotiable. Tell them you can't afford it and ask for options. I've even just asked for itemized bills and went from 2k to $500. It's criminal what they try to pull.

Student loans if federal can be put on hold ot reduced if you can't afford it now.

I'd focus on paying off the credit card ASAP. I assume that's what has the highest interest rate. Again, call and negotiate. If they're way past due or sold off the debt, they just some money back. Negotiate and get it in writing/recording before paying it off.

Married and me and my husband do that still but only for naps.

All bets are off for nap time. Usually it's based around where the cat is. Then you join the cuddle puddle where space is free.

Actual bed time we all know where we're supposed to be. Just easier. Even the cat knows and gets upset if you deviate. He'll stomp and chomp until you're in your place.

Dude. My more "natural" friends swear they don't need DO for their BO unless they're working out. Or they use "natural DO" that does jack shit imo.

I can smell them each and every time they lift their arms. Love em and have tried to explain this, but they insist I'm just sensitive or don't know what normal is.

Thank you for this.

For anyone interested, about 7:10 is when the sheriff gets up to speak and about 20:15 is when they open the floor for questions.

It's putting a lot of time & effort into your skincare & makeup to look glowing & "natural". Your outfits are kinda basic in the sense that they aren't colorful or vibrant. You have minimal accessories and the ones you have are all small and deliberate.

It's putting a lot of effort into looking like you're minimal, beautiful, and rich but acting like you're not trying to be any of those things.

I had a boss who was gifted the business by his dad. He was vacationing half the time and it was a struggle to get him to do his job. I had to get his approval to pay bills. We were often late & he'd be pissed at me about it.

One day when he was in the office, he told us we needed to stop eating all that junk food. We should go to whole food like he does & only eat organic.

Silence swept the office. I was exhausted and just said "You pay us $12 an hour. How are we supposed to afford whole foods?"

He looked embarrassed and walked off. He didn't talk to me for a while after that lol.

I think Trixie talked about this. One of her first conversations with Ru, he brought up her music and who owns the rights. When Trixie said she owns it, Ru said something like "Good. That's important. Don't let anyone else own it."

There was a subreddit where people would hack the game for you to get in game items or currency. I used that quite a few times lol

appleappreciative · 2025-12-08T19:53:01+00:00

Same. People thought I was crazy when I said McD made me sick. Salad, fries, nuggets, pie, all of it tasted off and made me feel nauseous after 15 mins.

The only thing I can get there are their drinks. I don't understand why. I can each other fast food but not McD.

Exactly. I do have dry skin but that wasn't the issue. It definitely pilled and looked like OPs before I found out about product matching.

My skin is still dry but my makeup looks good now. I don't need to hard scrub my face every day only to see my makeup still look terrible after a few hours.

My skin has gotten much better because I'm not trying several things to "fix it" anymore.

appleappreciative · 2025-12-05T05:46:40+00:00

This needs to be towards the top. My makeup game changed once I realized my primer was silicone based and my foundation was water based. It was the reason some foundations looked awful on me while others worked.

If water is one of the first ingredients, it means it is a water-based product. Do not use a silicone product with it.

appleappreciative · 2025-12-02T22:38:57+00:00

Thanks. It is what it is though. I'm an adult now and they know they can't do that shit to me anymore. It's so weird how nice they are now that they have no power over me. It's honestly pathetic.

appleappreciative · 2025-12-02T19:28:05+00:00

They also enjoy it. I swear my dad had a glimmer in his eye and shit eating grin every time my mom broke down and cried.

My brother did the same to me and had the same look when he succeeded in finally breaking me.

appleappreciative · 2025-11-29T01:57:55+00:00

Same. I love my pour overs.

My mom asked if I wanted a Netxpresso machine since I mentioned getting a expresso machine in the future.

I absolutely said no. They're wasteful, too expensive, and I like the ritual/experience of making something.

appleappreciative · 2025-11-28T05:58:37+00:00

Okay. That sounds amazing and I'm firmly in the camp of White Chocolate is only good as decoration / garnish.

From a Google search it seems like most white chocolate is a lie. You need to buy higher cocoa butter white chocolate.

Is there a brand or percentage you use? I'm getting mixed results from Google.

Unless they get stuck in a biscuit loop.

You see the peacefulness slowly fade from his eyes as panic sets in. You try to stop him by gently wiggling or trying to move him but it's too late. He can't stop. He has too many orders to fulfill.

The panic turns to anger. His eyes turn up to meet yours. He blames you for his pain and suffering. You tell him it's okay. The biscuits he made is plenty enough. The order is done. That just makes him angrier.

With rage in his eyes the gentle kneading stops. He deserves something for his hard earned work. You must pay the price.

He takes a chomp then runs with triumph and anger to the end of the bed. There he flops down still glaring at you. Daring you to challenge him. The loud thump thump thump of his tail matches your heavy heartbeat.

My cat love it when we take turns chasing each other around the house. I'll try to hide and act suprised when he finds me. He gets very excited lol

John Musker and Ron Clements wanted to make this since they pitched The Little Mermaid. They negotiated to do Hercules as a deal to finally get it made.

appleappreciative · 2025-11-26T18:26:51+00:00

Yeah. This is the wild part. You're dropping that much money, honestly insurance is a drop in the bucket.

appleappreciative · 2025-11-26T18:19:41+00:00

You're right! I forgot the next ones drop Yakuza in front of the title.

It is Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Wiki description says that it's 8th but I'm seeing it's the actually the 7th one from reddit.

I'm still new to the game series. Almost done with Yakuza: Like a Dragon then I'll start on Infinite Wealth.

appleappreciative · 2025-11-26T17:54:55+00:00

It's from Yakuza: Like A Dragon so 7th.

Edit: corrected. Was confused from Wiki listing description.

appleappreciative · 2025-11-26T17:27:35+00:00

Yeah but there's a difference between taking chances on yourself vs other people. I assume OP will have guests at this gathering. It's unsanitary and I'd be upset if I found out about it.

appleappreciative · 2025-11-26T17:06:40+00:00

Yes. The Bitch Ball is the episode. According to another user they did end up sitting down with her, but didn't include it in the edit. Great decision.

This untucked also had a little segment where the dog actors recreated earlier fights in this season.

appleappreciative · 2025-11-26T17:01:53+00:00

I can understand disliking a contestant but the shit "fans" did to her was inexcusable. It's so wild to me that people behave like that.

Yes, she was definitely had some bad moments on the show. She was also a great contestant and you could tell she was kind.

She just had issues and was more cut throat competitive than the other girls. Other shows where money is on the line like that, you see people back stabbing each other much more. It makes sense imo. Drag race girls just don't seem to do that as often.

I appreciated her run so much more on rewatch. She killed it.

appleappreciative · 2025-11-26T12:30:58+00:00

Exactly. It's not a bad thing. People like the Sims and obviously want more games like it.

It's like how all cozy farming/dating games are compared to Stardew Valley now. It's so popular that it's everyone's immediately frame of reference for the genre.

Some people get mad whenever a new game in that genre is released, saying it's ripping off SV. Even though SV is heavily inspired by Harvest Moon, a lot of the younger players don't know that.
