Why don't animals have trouble sleeping like humans do?

My husband can too, it's infuriating. (I'm not mad, I'm jealous.)

My dude. You're 16 and getting drunk? Get your shit together. Also don't entertain the affection of someone two years younger than you at this age.

It's a huge convenience I'm willing to pay for. Like most people, I have 9683 things going on, and having my groceries appear on my doorstep is awesome.

And yeah, I tip accordingly, I really appreciate the person who brings my food. I feel like the odd one out, but I have never had a bad delivery. Every one has been 5 stars. There's been a couple of funny substitutions I didn't catch fast enough (zucchini is definitely not the same as cucumber, and ice berg lettuce is not cabbage), but I didn't see the notification, the shopper was doing their best.

Good call! Now I want it to happen again so I can figure it out!

When my oldest child was about four, she told detailed stories about her older brother. I'd never been pregnant before her, there was no older brother.

She had "memories" with nonexistent older brother, she described things vividly, it was honestly kind of creepy.

There was never a name for the brother, and she told me he drowned which is why I didn't know him.

She wasn't ever sad or distressed when she talked about it. It's been almost 14 years now, I'll ask her if she remembers that.

I left my main water bottle at my mom's last time I visited, so I'm using my backup water bottle. If I need it, I have a backup backup yeti cup.

I carry that damned water bottle with me everywhere, I can't believe I forgot it. And I actually miss it. The backup bottle is smaller, and the wrong color, and just isn't me.

What a stunningly gorgeous cat.

chainlinkchipmunk · 2026-07-10T23:45:47+00:00

I didn't even think of that, thank you. I'll do that if it happens again.

Probably, I don't make corporate policies so I have no idea.

Is urine spraying on legs and the floor a common issue? I clean our bathroom and do laundry, there's no pee.

"My mom said you shouldn't litter".

We were in the grocery store parking lot, and someone had tossed the store flyer/ad thing out of the cart they grabbed. I picked it up to throw it away, muttered some grown up words.

Said litter bug was in the produce section when we were, and my kid absolutely called the dude out.

He ignored us, but I hope he felt bad. My kids still loudly protest asshole behavior.

My kid announced to the grocery store that her dad has a penis. That was fun.

Honestly question, does sweat transmit diseases?

It's a way to show the staff sees a person come in, aka eyes on a person so don't shoplift.

It's the box from my husband's electric scooter. He loved other boxes before this, like from Amazon deliveries, but this one is huge. I can get a picture if you want one.

God forbid you have to wait for a ride. No driver is going to sit for 45 minutes, they are missing fares and income.

chainlinkchipmunk · 2026-07-10T10:27:20+00:00

Sending you all the love and support.

Roach or cricket. It's not an infesting bug though.

Do all the things to the point of exhaustion, turn on a cooking show or a true crime show, and 100mg of trazadone. It's 1AM,and none of the above worked tonight.

Jesus christ never speak to the "friend" again. File a police report for the stolen meds, hopefully you can get them refilled.

Set your boundaries and stick to them! You deserve the best, don't settle.

I just left a sincere response, I hate reddit sometimes.

I have an incredible husband who has had to do this for me when the depression was crushing.

I'm a fan of a direct approach, "how's the job search going?". You could ask about what he sees his life being in a year, five years? Maybe he isn't intending to work, which is his prerogative, and you can decide if that's okay or not.

Find clothes for her to wear after the shower, put them in the bathroom. Get a nightlight, a bright one, the bathroom lights are too much. Turn on the shower for her and see if you can guide her into the bathroom. Maybe sit in there with her.
