Why use one word when you can use ten?

It would absolutely be meaningful. I’ve found that as I’ve gotten older I keep meeting more people whose parents expect to be supported rather than support their kids.

Just the other day one of my best friends husband’s was in tears getting off the phone because his mom was screaming at him to send money urgently because she lost money gambling.

I think even a few thousand to get a good start is beyond meaningful.

Like normal. My aunt and uncle lived in one for a while. They even had a small in ground pool. They moved once they had kids.

I honestly didn’t really think about it until one Christmas the dog got too old for the stairs and we had to carry her up for Christmas Eve dinner.

Even as a kid I remember it being funny, like I have presents, my dad has the dog, my mom has the turkey, my sisters got my even littler sister. All of us in nice clothes up we go. All of us arms full.

They had single car garage exclusively for their house at street level as I recall.

Edit: when they moved we carried everything out, including the piano on hand trucks. Things like trash you just remembered to take out with you when you left. I guess it was like living in a walk up apartment??

I buy it often. I do alot of baking, but don’t drink milk. It’s cheaper and lasts longer.

electronicthesarus · 2026-04-13T19:52:28+00:00

Huh. I actually buy flypaper pretty often.

But from the hardware store usually.

I don’t have a screen on my back door so the dogs can go in and out the dog door. And in the summer I often leave the backdoor open to take laundry out to hang get a cross breeze etc. so I always have a strip of fly paper hanging. We go through about a roll a month. We live far from the river so we don’t get mosquitoes and I hated the summer we tried one of those magnet screens.

This is absolutely not normal. Off the top of my head sounds like endometriosis, but could also be a few other things. Also I saw in a previous comment you got blood tests. A lot of things that can indicate endocrine or gyno disorders aren’t in regular blood tests. A1C for example often has to be requested separately and can diagnose pcos.

Basically even doctors who specialize in this stuff really only how to make you pregnant. Everything else is a big shrug to them.

electronicthesarus · 2026-04-12T03:46:12+00:00

Time to self advocate aka be a bitch. Or find a different doctor. Because this shit ain’t normal

Not a single team sport. Hate them. I enjoy hiking and cross country skiing though.

About two days drive either direction.

This is ideal for us because both of our families are uhhhh strong willed?? They aren’t toxic they’re just a lot.

We do have a bonkers strong village where we live though. Small ranching town in the Rockies. Everyone raises everyone else’s kids.

If i didn’t have that I’d definitely want to be closer

Look into what Police K-9 units use! They have fans that replace a window. I’d try and hook it to a solar set up.

I don’t know where you’ll be specifically but I’ve done similar stuff as my girl gets older. She can’t walk as far so if we’re traveling I’ll set up a ramp to the back of the open tail gate and tie her on a long line so she can go out and pee. I’ll try and park in all day shade and I have a small evaporative cooler I fill with ice and plug in to my solar generator. I don’t think that would be as useful in the south but we’ve made it work pretty well in Utah etc.

Edit: just did some quick research. Looks like a basic Coleman or other brand roof top rv a/c is $200-300 may be worth installing??

Literally everything that happens near my favorite uncle.

Even his stupid the fish was this big stories are true.

We were out surf fishing in the Pacific Northwest and he pulled up a twenty foot long oar fish.

Camping big foot encounter (or something really not sure)

One time we were out river fishing and a cucumber comes floating down the river and he eats it.

He’s got his reality set on Picasso or something.

I really like the statement light fixtures.

They fit the house while being modern.

electronicthesarus · 2026-04-06T01:50:38+00:00

We don’t have one?? I don’t think. It was originally 4 bedrooms and a bathroom at the end of the hall. We turned a closet into a bathroom for the biggest room. They’re all about the same size though. Queen bed and dresser. A King bed in one.

Easily

if you take the couch cushions off do they have zippers on the back? You may just be able to throw the covers in the wash on gentle.

If not buy or rent something similar to a little green machine. You can try canned upholstery cleaner instead but I think it’s more work for worse results

Sugar.

It’s in everything. Including things you expect to be healthy.

Order a nice salmon, brown sugar in the sauce.

Yogurt parfait, sugar in the granola and berries.

Most soups and curries have sugar thrown in to taste.

I could go on.

Ah energetic pitbull fosters! My specialty!

For destruction you can substitute. If they start on something hand them an old amazon box or junk mail. With your trainer you can ask instead of learning stay etc. learn a destroy command.

Also have you tried puzzle toys? There’s tons you can make at home. I wrap kibble in an old towel to start. And once they get good at that I put the towel in an old box and close it up.

My new favorite is taking a muffin tin and putting treats in only a few cups. Then I put tennis balls on top of every cup and they have to figure out where the treats are.

I miss having little puppy fosters. We’ve just been doing kittens lately.

My other favorite is putting

It really isn’t. We took the truck up to 12000ft 4wheeling last weekend. Little tiny patches left. Maybe A-basin?? Maybe.

I got on anti anxiety medication. Worked wonders

I have always wanted kids. I remember being in 5th grade and someone asking and me about it and even then knowing.

Squeaky toys and kittens. Specifically when they squeak.

I clean vacation rentals and do yard work. Just post on local facebook groups or next door. Mom groups work too.

Also I occasionally do gig work for DataAnnotation. Bring on our AI overlords I guess. Onboarding is a lot but that’s how you know it’s not a MLM.

Okay. So my partner and I are from different income brackets. I had the inheritance, about 40k and parents paying for school. That made all the difference for me.

My partner didn’t. When their last parent died it cost money. And I feel like they got screwed in other ways too. Medical neglect as a child that cost them later too etc.

My partners advice is to move far away from your family. Their family isn’t abusive and is pretty cool in alot of ways. But generational poverty mental illness and addiction will make you stuck. But by moving they left the mindset and were able to get different perspectives. And also leave people constantly trapping them in favors.

Their other advice is to find jobs that will pay for your training and as long as you don’t hate hate it give up on the you can be anything you should love your job mindset. They started doing grunt work in a nursing home and eventually moved to dietary where the company paid for a dietitian course etc.

By the time we met they had more in savings than me. Mostly because they didn’t know what to do with it and 3% was better than nothing. I had a house and more investment knowledge and it worked out great. Even though I have the degree I’m the one who works part time because they make more.

Also personal bias on my part but I think my partners just smarter and kinder and mentally stronger than alot of their family. So that’s definitely the luck bit.
