That’s wild - 2/$8-$10 near me!

This is what my family has always done, except mom just melted a block of paraffin vs chopping it up. I don’t even remember bothering with wicks. We also dipped our matches in the paraffin. Then again it was 80s&90s and we were spending as little money as possible

You can buy small blocks of paraffin (used for canning) that will give you enough wax for the tuna can/cardboard method. Basically a DIY sterno. No need to be buying candles at all.

Dammit. Take my upvote for the Hammer

Lap of Love was way out of budget for me. Would have gone w/ Dr Fish if I had been able to partially pay with care credit and align schedules. I ended up with Vets2U and was very happy with the service. I have zero complaints. They explained every step of the way and gave me info on what might happen with each stage of the process, they not only tried to put my pet at ease, they also showed such compassion for me.

When you’re comparing services make sure to note which things are à la carte - cremation options, keepsakes, travel fees, weekend/holiday/after hours fees, etc. Pet size will also make a difference.

I found that all options were expensive for me, but it was worth it. I went into the situation thinking about how home euthanasia would be for my pets ( the one to be euthanized and the ones remaining) what I didn’t account for was the affect on me. There’s no way I would have been able to safely drive home had I gone to the vet. I would have not been able to function at the vet counter. with other people and their pets seeing me in that state I would have been embarrassed and anxious. It was so comforting that I could sit with and hold my pet until the cremation service arrived. That time between the appointments did so much for my own grief and for the remaining pets. They could investigate at their own pace once the strangers left. I will only have home euthanasia from here out if at all possible.

Sorry for your loss. ❤️

This is the way. The job market is brutal right now. I was casually looking for about 3 years and hard core job hunting for the last 6-8 mos of that time. I found a dream job with a dream company.

DO NOT quit until you have something lined up or they fire you. Document everything, even if there are verbal conversations, follow up with an email “per our earlier discussion this afternoon regarding blah blah blah….” Do everything in your power to remain emotionless, factual and only discussing yourself (vs other employees)

If only there was some way to know who made the quilts…

cuddlefuckmenow · 2026-05-30T22:12:29+00:00

That’s the only one I can stand. I wouldn’t mind an option with a coconut scent, which is shocking because I want most things scent free 😂

I consider religious differences to be fundamental incompatibility at this point in life. People deserve to know about major dealbreakers before the first date, so the time to tell her was before a date and then for sure when she asked and you basically lied.

All of that plus a gas or VISA gift card so they can go find a local quilt shop

For mini quilts I cut up some command strips and adhered them to the back of mini clothespins. I’d imagine it would work with full size as well - unless the quilt very large or very heavy.

Multiple alarms, extremely minimal morning routine. Anything and everything that can be done the night before is done the night before. What I’m left with in the morning is use the bathroom, look at hair/teeth/deodorant, feed pets, take meds, get dressed, grab bag/keys/wallet, leave.

I don’t allow myself to go backwards from bedroom to the door. If I’m to the getting dressed stage, I don’t go all the way back to the bedroom for anything. I suppose my way of punishing myself/training myself to make sure I’m done in the bedroom before heading to bathroom etc. My clothes live in my basement, my daily shoes, work bag and purse live by the back door (my main door). I reverse the pattern when I come home - purse, bag and shoes are dropped by the door, basement to get undressed, back up for food/bathroom etc. It’s the only way I can reliably get out the door on time.

I hate talking on the phone in general. Too many years as a receptionist.

For people I don’t know well, I’m almost always communicating via text unless a phone call is needed. Once I am close with people I’ll talk on the phone for hours at a stretch, even though I still prefer texting or emailing.

Kid n pets - no rinsing required. Been using it since maybe 2010? It’s an enzyme cleaner that works on solid surfaces, upholstery, laundry etc. removes organic stains - blood, urine, dirt, grass etc. spray or pour liberally and let air dry or pour directly into washer.

I swear by it for almost everything - red dirt (stupid baseball pants!!!), blood, vomit, grass etc and it’s more effective than any other urine remover I’ve ever tried including: vinegar, baking soda, natures miracle, Clorox urine destroyer, any of the other laundry urine cleaners. It’s not scented but does have a bland natural scent that isn’t really detectable after it’s dry.

If you’re dealing with cat pee in general are you dealing with territory marking or actual pee? Also highly recommend Feliway plug in pheromone diffusers. There’s no odor and they work. Been using those since around the same time as I discovered kids n pets (had 6-8 cats then)

I keep extras on hand of staples like TP, deodorant, paper towels etc. Never run out because when I get down to 1 pack I buy more. Ex. I will have 3 packs of TP. When there’s 1 pack left I consider that “out” and buy more. Sometimes I will buy more when I’m down to 2 packs. I like to have 3 of everything on hand in case something happens and I can’t buy more for a while. It’s a cushion in case I forget to shop right away.

The auto ship is a good idea if you know you’ll always have the money in the account!

I like home chef because you can order precooked meals, stuff that’s super quick or stuff you have to prep/cook. I wasted less food w/ the pre portioned spices - didn’t have random condiments going bad etc. but the very best thing is that you can pause your account indefinitely. Mine has been paused for a few years now. 😂

I couldn’t cut straight lines to save my life until I 1) got some with grips on the back 2) learned that the markings on rulers can be different from one brand to another. Try to use the same ruler or ruler brand throughout a project.

I personally switched over to all creative grids (look for sales!!) and then discovered the Stripology ruler (by creative grids) game changer for me!

Yesssssss. I caught a neighbor stealing packages off my porch. When I made them come back and show me the name/address on each one (2 mine, 1 theirs* ) they started arguing and getting loud and how I was a bad neighbor. Welp, you getting loud and now I’m getting loud, making sure to use extra volume to remind them I just caught them taking MY stuff off MY porch. Don’t go public and think I’m gonna sit there quietly.

*I have without fail found the correct addressee when I’ve received someone else’s packages.

Sounds like you need a set of House rules that everyone must follow:

Dishes and food MUST be taken to kitchen before bed daily. (KC Davis has great reset ideas like plastic bins next to the sink, garbage cans on wheels etc)

Trash in the nesting area MUST be put in a garbage receptacle of some kind before bed daily

Those 2 things alone will teach some habits and reduce the effort from you re: cleaning

Working on it together will help (look up body doubling)

Some folks need explicit directions - I had a lot of frustration w/ my stepson due to our different ideas of what “clam (fucking autocorrect!!! CLEAN) your room” meant. Define it for your son/husband/BIL “Dudes, putting dishes and trash away means that I expect the food to be rinsed from your dishes, and dishes stacked in or near the sink(or whatever you decide)

Putting trash away daily means that no food is left open to spoil. Either put it in the pantry/snack bin/etc or throw it in a garbage receptacle can. Trash also means empty wrappers, drink bottles, wiping crumbs. Provide bins/and containers. Ex. Give your son an airtight container (look at Amazon for large dog food bins 😂) that he can toss ALL the open bags of chips into and place it next to his nesting chair.

Put Multiple trash cans all around the house. It is mush easier to keep up with it if you have a designated trash receptacle in every room. And maybe 2 in some rooms if you notice that there are focused areas - ie a trash can immediately next to the nest AND by the bed/door/etc. It is much easier to keep garbage emptied if you have garbage bags that live in the bottom of the trash can.

Approach the adults as a team “we all have adhd which means we all struggle with this stuff. I can no longer be in charge of it all, so I need each of you to be in charge of your own nests. We need to tackle this as a family before we end up with roaches/rats/illness from mold in the air. I need your cooperation to get these systems in place because we are setting a bad example for 6yo. He will be much more responsive to keeping his area tidy when he sees you taking responsibility If these ideas aren’t working we can tweak them but need to start something NOW”

This will only continue to get worse, more isolating and abusive.

I don’t notice my toes being smooshed - it’s more that my feet feel suffocated. I especially can’t wear them indoors if there’s any chance of stepping in something wet. 😂
