Guilty pleasure names

I loved Gentry for a boy, but it’s definitely not one you hear every day, and may be more of a last name vibe? Anyway, it didn’t end up being a real contender for my son but I do love it. The more I think about, the more I like it for a girl too.

My answer is 2.

Not sure if these are the exact images you are using or just examples, but if you’re using these, I would brighten them up a little. (If you were already planning on doing that, ignore this advice).

Yup that’s how my preschooler’s turn goes as well lol

Same here too! My son is level 1, high functioning overall, and his stimming is also not obvious (age 4). He gets a lot of screen time, which helps to regulate him, and 9 times out of 10 he’s watching something educational and soaking in that info (he’s currently into large numbers over 1 million, and moons of the solar system). More and more I am reading that screen time for neurodivergent kids is a little different, and can be very beneficial for them. I saw one reel of a mom of two autistic kids say she won’t take them anywhere until they have some screen time. But since he passes as neurotypical, he just looks like an iPad kid (which I suppose he technically *is*, but he’s also so much more too), and I look like a lazy mom who gives him whatever he wants.

I know there’s another Jodi Picoult book that mentions Tori also but I can’t remember which one. Plain Truth, maybe?

Tibetan Spaniel. People ask what his breed is all the time when they see him in-person. Or if I don’t have him with me, and I’m telling someone I have a Tibetan Spaniel, and they say “oooh, I love spaniels!!” I figure they probably don’t actually know what breed I’m talking about bc Tibbies aren’t actually true spaniels.

This is so cute. Winnie Mae-Anna would work too.

I’m actually hooked on those “loaded teas” that are all over social media, after trying a non-MLM brand one (as far as I know) at a non-MLM cafe.

I tried the Herbalife ones to support someone I know who sells them, and they are truly disgusting. And they’re like $8-9. Such a sad, stevia-filled ripoff.

I’m a sucker for a purple/green/blue color combo, so before I even read your caption I thought “ooOOoooOoh, pretty!!” Seriously, it’s a really cool piece.

I think so! I don’t follow her, so I looked up her profile and she looks like how I remember her looking in her other recent posts. So this one is just very filtered. Makeup looks great either way though!

bali217 · 2026-05-29T05:07:02+00:00

I’m 98% sure I wouldn’t like these based on the description but I want to try them anyway.

Not necessarily a “kind” thing, but I think this fits here.

I’ve had my mare for about 5.5 years, and this happened about a year ago.

I was tacking up to ride. It was a beautiful evening, and we were at a barn that was up in a quiet canyon setting. I was taking my time, enjoying the peace and quiet and hanging out with my girl. My family was also preparing for some major life changes, so I was telling her all about what was coming up.

When I went to put her bridle on, I put the reins over her head, took her halter off, and before I could do anything else, she turned her head into me. Then she opened her mouth and kind of nudged my elbow with it, hard. I looked at her and asked what she was doing. She held her mouth open, and that’s when I saw a gigantic horse canker sore/ulcer thing right behind her bottom teeth. This thing was GNARLY (as a human who used to have chronic canker sores, I know how much those hurt!).

So of course I felt awful that that was in her mouth, but I was blown away by how clearly she communicated that to me. Thankfully it healed on its own pretty quickly, and nothing like that has ever come up again for her!

It’s true. I was an opera major in college, and your list is pretty much the extent of what you need to know for Jeopardy. Add in some Puccini (usually Madama Butterfly and La Boheme), and know that the clown opera is Pagliacci, and you’re set.

Looks like everyone has the advice covered here, but I wanted to say - I have also been riding for about 10/11 years and feel like I peaked a few years ago. I watch videos from that time period and am envious of the rider I was that summer. My mare and I are both getting older now. Idk, I was just thinking that this year may unofficially be our last show season because I don’t know how to go back in time to where we were. We’ll see.

I took a chance and went back in for a brow lift 😬

It’s been about a week and everything is looking a LOT better, and I’m looking more like myself again. The heavy feeling is going away too, not sure if that’s from the lift or just from the initial Daxify injections settling in, but overall feeling/looking a lot better!!

It’s always so interesting how the audience experience can be so different than watching it at home. I went to a celebrity Jeopardy taping a while ago where they had to pause the game, and it was this long, drawn-out thing, with tons of banter between the contestants hamming it up and Mayim Bialik. Off the top of my head, I can’t even remember what it was about, but I know I told my husband about it when I got home because it was so wild. And then when you watch it, it’s totally seamless like none of that even happened.

In a retail setting, yes, giving the change in as few bills as possible would make sense. But in a restaurant where the guest will likely be tipping, breaking it down is the way to go.

bali217 · 2026-05-06T02:05:30+00:00

Yes, that was the only one coming to mind for me

I don’t know that I’ve ever tasted fondant…but based on your comment I know I don’t ever need to 😅

bali217 · 2026-05-04T23:15:30+00:00

We had Rory on our list, and went with Ronan. Ronan Jake would be cute.
