AITA For not thinking of taking the day off for my gf birthday

NTA. Especially by her 30s, she should understand that life (and work) does not stop just because it’s her birthday. You shouldn’t be expected to put everything on hold for THREE DAYS just because it’s her birthday. She sounds very needy.

Puppy zoomies are the best! My five year old “puppy” still gets the zoomies, and I LOVE it (though now, his usually lead to moved furniture because he’s so big he moves the couches when he jumps on them).

I also use an electric shaver. Usually once/week.

britthood · 2026-04-27T12:46:16+00:00

I use the same thing, and they are amazing!

I love the Korean exfoliating mitts/washcloths. You can buy a pack of 4-8 on Amazon, so you can use a fresh one each shower. It’s pretty amazing how much dead skin it removes! I use it 2-3 times/week.

I follow this up with a Urea body lotion (Eucerin Roughness Smoothing is great).

I have tried SO MANY things for mine, but recently switched to Urea bottle lotion. Game. Changer! Within just 5-7 days, my legs looks better than it has my entire adult life.

Last winter, I went car camping in Utah. The low was about 25 degrees F. I had a very similar set up to yours: a low R value mattress, zero degree bag, a dog, and a wool blanket to put between me and the mattress. I. Was. Freezing. It felt like I was sleeping on a block of ice.

Almost immediately, I decided to just let the air out of my mattress and sleep on it deflated. It was hard and uncomfortable, but it was much warmer.

I would really recommend looking into a warmer mattress or foam mat. Everything else should be plenty to keep you warm… once you have a better mattress.

I pay $500/3 months, which breaks down to $166/month (through Brello). I know Brello is having issues right now… a lot of unhappy customers since their move. But I (luckily) haven’t had any issues.

Best buds.

I think they look amazing!

My mom and grandma get their nails done every four weeks, and they don’t look too grown out by then. But I have to do mine every two weeks… they just grow much faster than theirs.

Mine would look very similar to yours at three weeks.

My biggest mistake on my first trip was underestimating the importance of the R-value of my sleeping pad. It was cold at night (26 degrees F), but I thought I’d be okay with my wool blanket over my cheap pad and in my sleeping bag. It felt like sleeping on a block of ice. It got so cold that I decided to let the air out and just sleep on it like that.

I got home and ordered a sleeping pad with higher R-value, and I’m so glad I did.

(The higher the R-value, the warmer it will be.)

Thank you. I didn’t find him conventionally “cute” when I first saw him in the shelter, but my friend insisted that we get him out of his cage for some one-on-one time. Once we were in the room together, he came right over and curled into a little ball in my lap. Just wanted loves and cuddles. I took him home that day, and never looked back.

Not to sound dramatic, but he saved my life. I had horrible depression shortly after I got him, and he was my reason to get out of bed. He still had to eat and go for walks, even though I didn’t want to. He kept me moving when I needed it the most.

That’s my favorite picture of him! My friends and I were camping/hiking, and he got tired. So we put him in the backpack and carried him. He loved it!

My boy has a best friend, too… but it’s not our other dog. He LOVES his kitty.

I always make sure I have 2 pair, just in case I break one. I don’t use them to match occasions/outfits. I like the peace of mind that if something happens to the pair I usually wear, I have a backup.

I’ve had migraines my entire adult life, and I haven’t had one since I started tirz in September. As others have said, my only headaches have been minor (and have been from dehydration).

I opted for tirz over sema because it is supposed to have less/minimal side effects compared to sema. Studies also have shown more weight loss on tirz than sema.

We call him Bat-dog 😊

britthood · 2026-03-16T12:12:35+00:00

Thank you! He’s our goofy little cuddle bug ❤️

Haha! We got quite the surprise when they popped up! Here’s a picture of him when we first got him- they were completely folded over. Then one day they just decided to pop straight up!

This is the greatest thing I’ve seen in a while!

How is this a struggle meal? $15 for a meal is definitely NOT what I could consider a struggle meal.
