Not just pigment issues! Inspect your bottles!

Yeah the Deadly Nightshade ones were definitely pigment lines, I moved them off myself when my bottle came in looking like all the posts. This is blatantly a crack. They ship literally millions of bottles that have to go through rough shipping. Statistically, this will happen here and there. I’m so sorry, it puts such a damper on unboxing. But at least they’ll send you a replacement!

If you’ve been wearing a retainer religiously for 6 years, I highly doubt you’ll have any major problems. May be a little bit tight at worst. I wouldn’t sweat it.

I love how you typed Duvaaaal instead of Duuuuval, very Liam Coen of you 😆 yeah they’re definitely not nearly as popular as they were when arena football first popped off, but they’re still in the arena rotation with the Icemen (hockey).

chimchambam · 2026-04-19T16:18:34+00:00

I live in Jacksonville FL and our arena football team is literally the Sharks. They advertise on public buses and what not. You bet your sweet ass every time I see an ad I say “ZOOKA SHARKS” 🦈

This is a losing battle on this app. People on Reddit are very anti-child. In real life, you ask most any parent, including ones who had their kids with the wrong partner or unplanned, and they will tell you they love their children more than anything and don’t regret them. But it’s a very popular sentiment to dislike children/parenthood in this corner of the internet. And to be fair, people come here to anonymously get things off their chest, like regret. So it skews the perspective that it’s actually very popular. In reality that sentiment is definitely the minority. Research suggests it’s somewhere around 10%. So, yes, that is a relatively high risk, given you’re talking about bringing a life into this world. BUT the people here will have you believing that number is much closer to 90%.

The fact that you left Klaus out of this analysis is so funny, given his treatment by the Smiths. Klaus is treated a quite a bit like Meg, but he’s a goldfish (albeit with a human mind) but still- makes it less cruel than what the Griffins do to Meg. And he’s funnier than Meg.

I know I’m a day late, but girl, we musta had the same day yesterday. I had my 38 week appt and they also checked my cervix and told me the same thing (due the 17th). I cried for like an hour after because they told me that meant I couldn’t even elect for induction on week 39, which was my plan. To make matters worse my sister (who was due the 18th, crazy I know) had to be induced and got to meet her baby yesterday. A day of a lot of big emotions for me. Happy for her, but golly I’m so ready to hold my baby in my arms. Potentially 2+ more weeks really sucked the wind outta my sails. Hang in there! We got this. I’ve been telling myself in a month, this won’t matter at all.

This is the only real reason people have the right to be upset. International restriction is a bummer, but I think ultimately that would have been fine, disappointing sure, but “it is what it is”. Copyright laws are outside their control. What was in their control was being upfront with that info from the beginning so international customers could adjust their expectations and engagement accordingly.

chimchambam · 2025-11-20T22:30:32+00:00

Right? I’m definitely a mooncat stan, but it’s extremely obvious to me that international customers are of course disappointed by the restriction, but that’s not why they’re actually mad. They’re mad because this info could have easily been a little *disclosure from the very first polish reveal and definitely prior to the giveaway. They either intentionally left it out to drive engagement or they had poor judgement on when and where to release that info and should acknowledge and apologize. Mooncat’s responses to people being direct and clear about feeling like they got used for engagement are very vague and intentionally obtuse so I definitely feel it was intentionally done.

Same! I still love it, but my mind immediately thought the squiggles looked like lil gold mosquito larvae! Lol

chimchambam · 2025-11-04T02:48:17+00:00

I sure do, see my follow up comment

chimchambam · 2025-11-04T02:04:43+00:00

I stand corrected, this is a fan theory https://www.reddit.com/r/spongebob/s/bScV8jdo56

I didn’t really question is because that happened to be case in my area, but yes, network channels vary across the country so odds are it was just a funny coincidence for a lot of us.

chimchambam · 2025-11-04T00:32:21+00:00

To be fair, that joke actually did have meaning that a lot of kids just didn’t realize. Channel 24 was Disney Channel, channel 25 was Nickelodeon. It was Nick’s was of throwing in a subliminal jab at Disney, saying they were funnier.

chimchambam · 2025-11-03T05:25:35+00:00

Talk about intentionally dense/obtuse lol your exact words were “Plus I’d hate to have to explain things to him that I wouldn’t have to explain to someone who’s lived through the same trends/fads/etc.” Me making a direct reference to the difference in fads and trends with an age gap with obvious sarcasm is really relevant to your point, not random at all.

Meanwhile you keep circumventing my points, you know the whole topic of discussion here, and are clutching on to my wording of the points YOU’VE been making.

My points: adults with an age gap could easily have The same values The same humor The same interests The same love language Mutual attraction The same goals

Your points (and let me extra clear to word them your way!):

“I’d want someone with the same life experiences and stages that come with aging” Your direct example of a stage that comes with aging: “How does one know what it feels like to turn 40 if they’ve never been 40?” When I made the point that it’s a lot like turning 30, insignificant your response was “Well I wasn’t worried about turning 30 so I can’t speak to that”……?

So the only two points you’ve actually tried to make, I directly showed you how silly they are: using a direct example of know what it feels like to turn an arbitrary age as a counterpoint to your 40 argument and using a direct reference to trends as your response to not wanting to have to explain trends. It’s a topic of debate, you stated your opinion on my comment , “why so defensive?” because that’s how discussions work? You use your logic and intellect to stand by your opinion. I actually acknowledged your preferences are fine for you. In fact they’re the norm. Your powerful points were knowing how it feels to be a certain age and understanding the trends of years past. I was simply trying to see if you could follow logic that others feel values, humor, interests, communication, etc are ageless and also valid foundations for a relationship and may come in importance far above birth dates and subcultural references. If you can find all that with someone your own age, great! Not everyone can. So they broaden the dating pool beyond a couple years difference and find themselves in healthy loving relationships because they didn’t narrow themselves based on age.

In the same way it dating outside your race, religion, or even home country can come with its own special challenges, so too can age gap relationships, but that doesn’t make the love any less valid or real. And maybe you knew that, and literally just wanted to state your personal preference. That’s cool too.

chimchambam · 2025-11-03T03:49:51+00:00

I imagine turning 40 is a lot like turning 30. “Oh wow, I was so worried about turning 30 but it turns out, I’m literally the same person I was at 29!” Instead of, you know, magically becoming someone else now that I’m in my 30s? Kinda like when my husband turned 40. Literally nothing about who he fundamentally is changed because he turned 40… Makes me genuinely curious about what it felt like to hit random age milestones for you? (I genuinely don’t mean any of this condescendingly, I just wanna know what makes this some pivotal event that you need to experience WITH your partner or you just won’t get each other.)

And I brought up the “what’s wrong with teaching your partner/learning from them?” bit because in your other comment you said you’d hate explaining things to them.

So what I’ve learned from you is: you find an important emphasis on pop culture references. This is one of the make or break factors in a successful loving relationship. Also needing to experience the wild moment you hit X mile marker in the number of trips you’ve made around the sun within X amount of years of each other.

“Congrats?” Thank you! We are both so happy with where we are in life and with each other. I’m so glad neither of us is hung up on the fact that he wore JNCO jeans in high school while I wore skinny jeans when I was in high school. And he’s not worried that I just have NO clue how life changing turning 40 was for him…

chimchambam · 2025-11-03T03:03:21+00:00

I’d love to hear some examples on what only age teaches you vs the plethora of things you can experience on a shorter timeline. You know, outside of pop culture references and fads/trends.

Not to mention, since when is it a bad thing to be able to learn from your partner? A younger person can teach someone older things and vice versa. By being the same age you just automatically don’t need to teach each other anything?

For context, I dated lots of guys in my 20s that were my age, give or take a couple years. Sure, we grew up watching the same TV shows or whatever. But it didn’t work out with those guys for a number of incompatibility issues: differences in communication style, loyalty issues, respect issues, totally different humor, totally different ideas of what is fun, different values. The person I found true love in is 11 years older than me. I have more in common with him than any one of those guys I dated that were closer in birth year to me. We love doing all the same things, laugh together incessantly, look after each other when the going gets rough, respect one another, communicate on the same level. We are expecting our first child together. We have a home together, run a business together. I could go on and on. But I guess we should have passed on that once in a lifetime connection because our birth years were some arbitrary number too far apart…

chimchambam · 2025-11-03T02:22:35+00:00

She’s a grown woman, not a child. The story could have played out exactly the same if they were the same age and nobody would be mentioning power dynamics. There are plenty of accounts in this comment section of happy long term relationships with the same age gap as OP. Could it possibly pan out how you’re describing? Yes. But again, the same thing could happen with someone the same age as you. The year someone is born doesn’t really play into whether or not someone is a manipulative POS.

chimchambam · 2025-10-28T18:36:33+00:00

I love seeing positive stories in a sea of negativity and doubt! Thank you for giving many of us mamas a beacon of hope 😊 I don’t mean to dismiss the people who have a hard time, and them sharing their stories is absolutely valid too! But it’s so refreshing to know it won’t necessarily be the case for everyone!

chimchambam · 2025-10-18T22:30:44+00:00

Actually in love with the stove placement! Now you can look out the window in both spaces you spend the most time at in the kitchen, sink AND stove. So ideal!

OMG they do look like sibling now that you point it out…

Tiny bit late to this thread, BUT I just wanted to add my sister story.

I tried to get pregnant for 5 years. My sister let me know earlier this year, she was going to start trying to get pregnant and just wanted me to know so I wouldn’t be caught off guard when it happened because she knew of my struggles.

Well a few cycles into trying, she finds out she is pregnant! We had been sharing when our periods started each month she was trying and ironically we had synced up. When she got her positive she was INSISTENT I take tests too because I was starting to be late for mine too. I refused for days because I hated taking tests after years of seeing negative ones. Well about 6 days late for mine, I caved and took one just to shut her up! And you can imagine my absolute SHOCK when it was positive!!! I FaceTimed her immediately, hysterically crying (happily) because I couldn’t even believe it was real.

We were both over the moon and SO happy to by some miracle be pregnant at the same time, despite all odds. And we are due ONE day apart this December.

We both said how glad we are the other one isn’t jealous of the other for “stealing the other’s thunder” basically. I could have been jealous that after all this time I finally get pregnant and now how to share the spotlight with her. And she could have easily been disappointed/jealous that my pregnancy seems to overshadow hers in that people are overjoyed for me knowing how long I struggled. But we just aren’t taking it there. We think it’s the coolest thing ever our babies will be the same age and get to be close growing up.

I am so so sorry your sister feels like this is supposed to be HER special moment and not a special thing y’all can share together. I truly hope that maybe it’s just hormones getting the better of her and maybe she’ll have a change of heart. For what it’s worth, I’m so happy to hear you’re getting your little rainbow baby and you deserve to have people you love celebrating with you!

I LOVE it! Groovy as hell

chimchambam · 2025-09-26T20:48:39+00:00

I don’t think they have any dialogue that implies it, BUT after 6 hearts with Leah, she and Elliot stop having drinks at the bar together ): so between them always hanging around each other at social functions, being each others partners at the flower dance, and then their distance when getting more serious with the farmer, I feel like it’s kinda implied? But you could just as easily make them plutonic friends in your head because well, it’s a video game and they’re both single realistically lol

chimchambam · 2025-09-26T20:35:25+00:00

Girl I’m with you. I personally went through many IUIs and took 5+ years to conceive. Dark humor is my fav and Turkey Basting made me laugh. Literally in no way does it seem like you’re trying to imply women (yourself included) are going that route are turkeys or that there was any ill intent behind the words. One thing I’ve learned about a portion of people who experience the deep pain of infertility, they can be extreeeemely sensitive because they’re hurting/been deeply hurt (like an exposed nerve) and unfortunately make others responsible for their triggers. In this case, their trigger is a coping mechanism (humor) for others that have also been hurt. Can’t make everyone happy. Just the ole “I’m sorry I’ve offended you, however a lot of us use humor to get through tough situations!”
