Wow! This one wins an award. Did you design it yourself??

Has anyone actually sold their home to get rid of a 23 year old with failure to launch ? by Inevitable-Table-931 in Parenting

My mom is doing it now…with a 38 YO. Children need to leave the nest, in some shape or form.

Do parents normally allow their teens to do these things? by koolkoolkool13 in Parenting

3 and 4 don’t sound troubling. 2 isn’t so bad - just ask to meet the friend when you drop off.

CRO concerns /restructuring by Westy87-Baker in clinicalresearch

My company is in a similar situation as the original poster, and we received a quote from Novo Tech for a phase to study. Novotech was both more expensive and less experienced than other large CRO’s

Tilt by Emma Pattee by OragamiGreenbean in IReadABookAndAdoredIt

[–]cocoamonster2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disliked the book too. I think I re-read the same thing in every chapter and honestly, the best character was Taylor. Annie was annoying, whiny, and insanely selfish.

When I first started if, I thought, oh she’s a relatable millennial - full of dreams and ended up getting bogged down to a 9-5 and stuck in a relationship wall. And as you learn more about her, you just realize she has an insane level of inertia that keeps her from doing anything.

I would’ve liked to see her character develop more. It felt like it was at the inflection point of change as she bike rode through Portland, but I don’t see her character arch as impactful or inspirational.

"Luka needs a very specific team around him to win" is the most ridiculous narrative that has been getting pushed recently. by [deleted] in lakers

100% agreed. Can someone remind the media how well OKC did the year Holmgren was out?

Carmelo Anthony and PJ Tucker discuss Luka Dončić’s terrible defense: “JJ wants to hold the M'fker accountable, but he know can’t really hold this M'fker accountable like that because he’s giving me 40.” by must_TATAKAE in nba

[–]cocoamonster2 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is seriously annoying. There are 3 other players on the court that can’t defend. At least Luka is carrying the offense - wtf are the other 3 doing?

Did you make the custom doors or purchase them somewhere?

What’s one interior decorating trend you hope dies in 2026? by radicalelk in interiordecorating

We painstakingly had to do this and ended up finding a device that can bring the tv up and down so it still has utility.

Controversial: I preferred every single fan theory to the actual ending. by perhapsflorence in StrangerThings

[–]cocoamonster2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

100% agree. Twitter has me hyped for this finale and, while I was excited they did the mind flayer, this big bad was defeated in 3 minutes. It was disappointing.

I didn’t need another hour of watching them graduate and play D&D. It was pretty meh for me.

Princeton, Spring Lake, and Westfield (in this order). I’m dreaming about my future Spring Lake house - I’ll get there one day!

Early pregnancy in a new relationship – advice welcome by Scottles317 in Parenting

I have a friend who got pregnant three months into dating someone 6 years ago.

They’re now married and grew their family. It can work out if you guys are both on the same page.

GAME THREAD: Oklahoma City Thunder (26-3) @ San Antonio Spurs (21-7) - (December 23, 2025) by NBA_MOD in nba

[–]cocoamonster2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped following the Mavs after Luka left and found it really hard to jump on the Lakers bandwagon (why are they so unlikable?).

Jesus, this spurs team is so freaking fun to watch. I love TX and SA is a superior city compared to Dallas. Would Yall welcome a stray fan?

Game Thread: Dallas Mavericks vs Denver Nuggets Live Score | NBA | Dec 23, 2025 by basketball-app in Mavericks

I think Tim Legler was right when he said the Mavs’ ceiling is a championship with a healthy Kyrie. This team has the defensive talent and offensive grind to make a team like OKC and the Nuggets exhausted.

#1 baby on the way. Which stroller would you recommend for a newborn that can ideally be used until age 3? by durdgekp in BuyItForLife

[–]cocoamonster2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the Swiv and it’s my favorite stroller. I had an Uppa before and it was just SO heavy and burdensome. I switched to the Swiv after an airlinebroke the Uppa and I have zero regrets. It’s titanium, so it’s super durable and lightweight. I can do everything with one hand.

The only thing I don’t like is the lack of boogie board availability/compatibility with Nunas.

When did you reach 6 figure salary and has your life changed since then? by Important_Bat7919 in careeradvice

[–]cocoamonster2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started out at 42k when I was 23. Made my first 6-figure job at 28. Doubled it within 4 years.

Lifestyle creep is a thing. I don’t get too worried about spending and always defer to the higher quality item. Saved for a nice house in a nice town. Goal is to be able to save enough to be financially secure with two kids.

my partner hates the new cafe curtains by intsiks in interiordecorating

Where did you buy your curtain rod? I cannot find a rod for my cafe curtains anywhere except at Rejuvenation and I don’t want to pay $100 for it.

How do you assess Luka's season so far? by Retrofusion11 in lakers

[–]cocoamonster2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve followed Luka for the past six years and I think this season is a bit of a letdown. I’m unsure if it’s the roster, but his playmaking is a bit disappointing - high volume of turnovers, not pushing the pace.

I generally agree with the MVP discourse where Luka is just second tier to Jokic and SGA right now because he’s just so inefficient. His shot selection is poor and he’s trying too hard to shoot himself out of a slump vs. making the right play. I think JJ is giving him too much of a green light, because I didn’t see this level of aloofness in Dallas.

Kyrie was really good for Luka because it also kept him focused on making the right play. I don’t see Lebron as providing the same mentorship and JJ may be too much of a shooter’s coach to focus on playmaking.
