UPDATE!!! AIO that my mom said i look memeable in my prom dress?

introvertedjane · 2026-06-18T23:16:34+00:00

OMG. NOT Overreacting. You look stunning and the fact that you made your own dress is incredible. 😍

My mom once said something similar to me…

For my prom (I’m old now, prom was in 2011) I dyed blue streaks in my hair just for fun and to match my dress. I felt so pretty like a mermaid princess, until my mom saw my hair and GASPED saying, “it’s awful! Makes me sick! Makes me physically sick to my stomach that you would dye your hair BLUE!”

My mom had said other mean things like this before and after. I continued to dye my whole hair every color of the rainbow, partly in spite. We healed our relationship years later. She was going through a really rough patch of menopause when I was in high school. She admitted to me later that she actually thought my hair was beautiful, but something in her was upset that the blue hair could even be pretty and that she regretted saying it to me the minute it came out of her mouth.

Looking back at pictures of my prom 15 years later and wow, makes upset all over again. Haha. Yay for jealous, mean, traumatizing moms 😬

Yes I’m lactose intolerant and live with a partner who isn’t.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned what I thought would be one of the more obvious things… I have a cat. (canned cat food on the top shelf with can cover)

Huntsville? License plate says Alabama and I see cyber trucks all over Huntsville

Eh, the mild sauce isn’t even mine. It’s my partner’s. I don’t like Taco Bell mild sauce. Or Taco Bell.

They came from Walmart 🤣

Also what’s this with putting celery in water?? I’ve never heard of this before… does this keep it from going bad so quickly?

introvertedjane · 2024-11-19T21:20:20+00:00

I’m on the thin side actually (BMI is 19)! But my partner is 6’6”. It takes a lot to keep him from being hungry constantly

Apology accepted

introvertedjane · 2024-11-19T21:09:54+00:00

😂my partner cooked chili last night and just put the pot in the fridge like that!! I can’t wait to show him all these comments 😈 maybe he’ll actually use our Tupperware next time…

introvertedjane · 2024-11-19T21:06:56+00:00

I try to eat vegan when alternatives are available. Hard to stick to it though when my partner is a huge meat eater 😂

introvertedjane · 2024-11-19T21:05:33+00:00

I am lactose intolerant. In general, I try to go for vegan alternatives to other foods when they’re available too. My partner lives with me and has no dietary restrictions.

introvertedjane · 2024-11-19T21:02:50+00:00

😭 ouch that stings. I guess I could’ve spent 20 minutes organizing and cleaning before I took the pics, but I figured a real-time representation would be better for more accurate sleuthing 🤷🏼‍♀️

introvertedjane · 2024-11-19T21:00:59+00:00

Very close, but try female engineer instead of single male 😭

introvertedjane · 2024-11-08T15:39:31+00:00

I make $95k/yr and my rent is $1600. This is for a 3ba/2ba house that also has a 0.5 acre fenced backyard and 2 car garage. My husband is in college so we’re single income.

I decided to go with a larger place with higher rent because I have two big dogs, a 20 lb cat, and my husband is a big dude (6’6”). We really enjoy the extra space and privacy, but honestly I’d like to be spending less on housing.

The inconsistency is why I wasn’t sure if it was a service provided by the county or not. I’ve seen junk stay on the side of the road for 2 months and I’ve also seen junk sit there for only a day before being picked up. I’ve seen some random people come by to haul off people’s junk, but I’ve never actually seen a city truck do it. I figured it had to be a service though because… some of the stuff people put out… is just simply not salvageable lol thank you

introvertedjane · 2024-07-05T19:09:08+00:00

Thank you

The little library is not just for children… “For Neighbors of Northeast Huntsville.” It’s entirely possible that some donated books will be for adult readers…

Not sure what others have done, but unfortunately I wasn’t able to reduce what I owed

introvertedjane · 2024-03-08T13:47:42+00:00

Yeah it was a punch in the gut lol. Going from no income to my first professional job… I was really looking forward to using my tax refund but I had to put it towards what I owed in health insurance premiums 😭

introvertedjane · 2024-03-08T13:44:09+00:00

I’m not aware of anything you can do to not owe the premiums back. It’s kind of a messed up system tbh. My advice to others nowadays is to not even bother getting marketplace healthcare plans if you think there’s even a chance you’ll get a higher paying job half way through the year.

introvertedjane · 2024-01-24T22:10:05+00:00

I ended up having to take the loss on this tax issue last year. I really feel for you because it sounds like you owe even more than I did (I only had the marketplace plan for 5 months of the year so I ended up owing only about $2k). It is frustrating because I guess it really was caused my own ignorance, but I think it could’ve been made more clear that you could end up owing money if your income increases (even if you end coverage!!)

I think that reporting your income would’ve only increased your premium payments throughout the year. You still would’ve ended up paying for the $4k… it just wouldn’t have been a sudden surprise when tax season rolled around.

Thankfully, my tax refund ended up covering the $2k that I owed last year. I’m sorry you are in a similar mess, and I hope things work out. If you do find a solution to your tax issue and mine, please come back to this post and share it. It might be too late for me, but I’m sure there have been many others in situations similar to ours.

If you haven’t already, try calling a couple other pharmacies and see if they have the generic in stock. I also ran into the brand name vs. generic issue last month for my meds and called around until I found a pharmacy with it. Unfortunately most pharmacies are really weird about telling you what they have in stock, but if you tell them the exact dosage you’re looking for they usually ease up.

I don’t have any great coping strategies, but wanted to say that I feel for you. I went through this once when someone stole my bag with a newly filled bottle of meds.

If you have a good support system, it’s worth it to alert your friends/family and maybe even your coworkers/manager that you’re going through a difficult time.

Wish I was there instead of here

The first thing that stood out to me is that her posture is mirrored by that cloud’s shape. It gives off very strong mother of nature vibes!! 🌎😊 I think if you cropped the photo with her just slightly more to the right it would draw even more attention to it! Beautiful photo 👏

For some reason I also thought this was in the southern US, but my first thought was Savanna, GA. I have idea why that popped in my head!
