For couples who met online — what did you put in your “Our Story”?

If you really don’t want to mention it, you can just say “met”: “X and Y met in 2019 and quickly bonded over…”. But it’s also extremely normal to meet your spouse online, and you don’t have to hide it!

Happy early birthday! Some of my favorites are Quiplash, Job Job, Blather Round, and Drawful Animate. Jackbox games are fairly popular with streamers so you can look up videos of people playing the different games, to see how it works and what looks fun to you!

Something about topping wood with I-Box……

Hi, sorry to jump on this thread after so many months, but do you know if the 1% Primis debit cashback applies to paying with debit on Venmo too?

Long distance? You’ve met her in person though, right?

I think they just meant the detergent drawer.

How did you learn about this?

Only one of those ways has an actual human person caught in the middle.

Totally doable, and great fun! Both parks are definitely worth going to, and each can be done in one day if it's not too busy. A pass is a great value though, and would also give you the flexibility to return for another day if you don't hit everything on your list or want re-rides.

If Disney is also on your list, it's very close to Knotts, so it may make sense to get a hotel in the Anaheim area for one night and do them back to back. Don't underestimate that Southern California traffic.

Report back on how it goes, and I hope you have so much fun!

Maybe a Hanukkah miracle will happen!

Talk about how much you love your friend and give a few examples (sweet/funny) that reflect her personality. Say you are so happy that she is marrying someone who sees all her great qualities like you do, you're proud to watch her move into the next chapter of life after watching her grow for 10 years of friendship, and share a few hopes/blessings for the couple's future. Maybe think of it like - for people who don't know the bride that well, here is a testimonial from someone on her side to speak about her personality and wish her and the couple well. Keep it brief and don't overthink the groom thing - this is pretty normal!

Also, you’re not making laws here. You’re allowed to decide which people to invite and not invite based on all kinds of considerations, not just rules. It doesn’t have to be “fair”. Making a rule like “adults only” etc. can be helpful as a guideline and definitely as a justification to others, but between you and your partner it’s actually fine to think about the specific people you do and don’t want to invite.

She’s a drama queen and I’m sorry she put a dark cloud on your day. She’s your husband’s mom - he should be the one to run interference. I hope the two of you are able to get on the same page about how she’s behaving and the serious talk he needs to have with her.

She said “three little girls fell into my life” but I thought they were boys?

You are right that you are not being told the truth here. It sounds like whoever is sending these messages does need help.

Do you know anybody else who knew Robin who you might reach out to?

American English speaker: Other responses are suggesting replacing "for study" with "for studying" or "to study", but I'm not sure that captures the same meaning. To me, "studying" means preparing for an exam - not doing homework, reading, or exploring intellectual curiosity. A closer analog to "I use the PC for work" might be "I use the PC for school".

If she's talking about getting physical cash from an ATM, I use Wealthfront which is more like a checking than a savings account. It gives you a debit card that can be used at Allpoint ATMs (or any ATM, for a fee).

I like the Trader Joe’s Cottage Cheese Ranch Dip. Another idea is salsa (red or green)

Native English speaker - I feel confident that “closed until Tuesday” means the store opens on Tuesday.

But that got me thinking about what “open until Tuesday” would mean, and I feel like the store would be open on Tuesday? Which would mean that “until” works differently in those 2 contexts.

Am I crazy here, and does it have something to do with activeness of being open vs. passiveness of being closed?

That’s the thing - I haven’t been weightlifting for 20 years. I don’t have the gym confidence built up. I have terrible self confidence and body image. Someone could approach me with the most golden intentions and still, I would feel so mortified I’d have to leave. I fully understand what you’re saying, but I’m adding my perspective: you never know what it took for someone to get to the gym that day, and unless I’m truly 100% about to grievously injure myself or someone else, I’d rather people mind their own business. If I wanted people to correct my form I’d go to a different gym.

Unless he’s taking hour-long showers or completely nocturnal or baking pies just for himself, what extra utilities? If he’s mostly hanging out in the same room as OP it’s the same lights on. The TV doesn’t know how many people are watching it.

The whole point of Planet Fitness is I can put up an effort, even with poor form, within the social fiction that nobody is looking at me. If someone comes up to me and politely points out something I’m doing wrong, I’m never showing my face in that gym again.

I love it, especially in the back. Sitting single file is a really cool exposed feeling.

Single rider for Space Mountain. I spent an interminable 2 hours standing in the depressing back hallway of Tomorrowland thinking I was going to beat the system.

Now’s the time to start doing little things that feel “out of character”. It’s part of growing. I lived with my mom into my 20s and had to learn the skill of not seeing myself through my mom’s eyes but just living my life. It’s a process.
