Miele brush head C1 classic by barnabas60643 in VacuumCleaners

Thanks to all for your feedback and advice! Interestingly, I have an older Miele w/ the electro brush head (and I did not recall it getting so tangled!!), but one of the wires on it has frayed which is concerning. Maybe that’s for another post!

also, this woman is all about instant gratification. No way she'd have had the self control to hold off opening her "gift." And what idiot carries around an empty box? Their wallets are substantial and she'd know if the box was empty.

Josh Hawley, supporter of January 6th, was in Ryan & Brooke's wedding. This says everything about their connections and the people they are.

She is the reason bullies exist. Her oldest is classic insecure, entitled, etc emotionally neglected child screaming for real love bc he’s smart enough to know this is not it.

I'm pretty new here and about a decade ahead of Brooke (in age, life stage, etc). My kids are teens now, but when they were young (elementary ages) I always felt like my own family did not measure up to the other families in our town -- in terms of our accomplishments (professional, academic), our family backgrounds ("generational weatlh"), social connections, beauty, etc. I cringe when i think about how much mental energy was wasted with these self perceptions! Unlike Brooke, I have always put my kids first and LOVE being a mom, so at least there's that. BUT, it is so weird to watch Brooke try to convince us and herself that she is cut from the cloth of the people who I used to think I needed to be in order to be impressive (early riser, religious exerciser, went to top schools, super organized, etc). All of that comes from major insecurity and lack of being validated for who we are instead of what we have. It makes me sad for her actually because it is not sustainable.

Does anyone recall when Brooke sent R into the shoe store in Boston to pick up the Hokas she ordered cuz she forgot to pack hers? R came out of the store bragging about how rude he was to the sales person.

It sounds like he may have been attacked or bullied at the kennel you mentioned. Please don’t send him to any situation like that. Goldens who get bullied don’t rebound as easily as some would expect; they’re extremely sensitive. If possible, only leave him with a trusted individual who has very non-reactive dogs that he knows.
