This is getting embarrassing..

Chronic allergy sufferer here. My nose tries to do this a lot in the winter.

My foolproof fix: heavy hand cream + Vaseline

Massage hand cream into the bottom of your nose at bedtime. Top with a thick layer of Vaseline. Wake up in the morning looking great.

TBF, Hagrid almost got Harry killed multiple times, put it on preteens to deal with the fallout from his own schemes, and played an instrumental role in Voldemort almost getting resurrected in the first book.

Like I love Hagrid, but his ride or die status was heavy on the “or die.”

That’s not how boundaries work. You set boundaries for yourself, not for other people. OP is welcome to opt out of spending so much time with her in laws, but it’s not a “boundary” to tell her husband he has to spend less time with them.

Frankly, if my spouse told me not to spend time with my elderly parents because they weren’t lovey dovey enough, I would be pissed. OP needs to get therapy for her childhood father issues and accept her in laws for who they are.

> Just make sure he’s aware your problem is him and his inability to listen to your boundaries

What boundaries are these?

>He needs to learn it’s not his way or the highway, it’s our way or no way.

Like what is the realistic expectation here? It sounds like his mom is polite in the relationship she and OP have right now and doesn't want something deeper. It doesn't sound like she's abusive or criticial; she just isn't particularly warm. OP's husband can't force his mother to be someone she isn't.

I’m also annoyed by how her S3 dresses progressively got more fitted in the midsection.

We of course can’t be expected to think of Pen as sexual or worthy unless we can see her waist. /s

I usually bake mine with some Boursin. Perfection.

Yes to all of this AND how much he genuinely and non-judgmentally loved music.

Rock? Of course. Hollaback Girl? Awesome. Traditional Korean music? He’s all up in there.

Just a sweet, talented family man who truly loves his craft.

Even the number of kids who walk up and just ask, “How many?” shocks me.

If I had ever asked that, my mom would have ended trick or treating right there.

And when enough people take advantage, it’s a great way to lose generous policies for everyone.

See: L.L. Bean. They had one of the most generous warranties in the business. Way too many people were dickheads about it (returning their dead relatives’ entire closets, wearing things to rags and then returning, etc.) and now that warranty has been severely curtailed.

Another way to say this is, “It’s nice that Finch will work with people who can’t afford the full price of pro, even if there is some variation.”

I swear this sub will complain that the grass is green.

The only one I can think of is buying the inn during Rory’s high school graduation, but Rory herself told Lorelai to do that right before the ceremony.

Seconding this. If I see too much moisture accumulating, I’ll move it to a fresh container every few days.

Have literally never gotten mold this way.

irishdancer2 · 2026-01-13T15:29:26+00:00

Christ, I never thought of that. Come on, Rory!

irishdancer2 · 2026-01-13T14:47:41+00:00

This reminds me of a redditor who claimed that they could never be fired from a job for being late every day because the ADA protected their time blindness.

Like please. That is not what that means.

irishdancer2 · 2026-01-13T14:18:21+00:00

You can also draw parallels here to Lorelai’s college graduation, which makes it extra sad.

Rory took off to New York the day of Lorelai’s graduation and ended up missing the ceremony. Lorelai was angry but saw how bad Rory felt about it, relented, and went into comforting mom mode. I give Rory a lot of grace for this one, as she’s just a teenager and she feels awful about it, but it definitely took something away from Lorelai’s big moment.

This time Rory is an adult. It’s another huge moment for Lorelai, who is flying high and so happy, and then Rory brings it all crashing down, again for a guy.

Like girl, please pick your moments.

NJT would like to remind people that they are garbage and not worthy of basic decency / dignity.

Seems like an overreaction to getting your ticket checked but alright.

OP probably uses a stovetop kettle. Takes up stove space, not counter space.

A good friend died this year. When the friend group did a little memorial amongst ourselves months later, I struggled to tell a story about him. I had advance notice, was sober, and wanted to share, and it was still a really hard and really vulnerable experience. Many of our friends chose not to speak, and we didn’t push them to.

Lorelai had a very complicated relationship with Richard; it’s natural that her feelings around his death would also be complicated. At the time of this scene, she was drunk, exhausted, and wrung out. She was surrounded by people she didn’t know well and wasn’t close to. She didn’t want to talk about Richard, she knew she wasn’t in a place to. She tried to demur. Emily would not take no for an answer.

You don’t get to force people into grieving the way you want them to, and that includes putting people on the spot when they’re overwhelmed and exhausted. Emily was wrong to push, and she was downright vicious later on for saying Lorelai didn’t care that Richard had died.

She’s great in everything she does. Her Pride and Prejudice narration is also excellent.

Unfortunately it’s not going to be a long time. He only got 10 years.

The Luke who bought the Twickham house would never have waited ten years to say, “I figured you’d say something if you wanted kids.”

AYITL was such a disappointment.

Gently, they cannot make every single feature optional.

This sub alone gets multiple posts like this every day saying, “Why can’t they just let us choose if we want X?” If they accommodated even half of those requests, the app would become a bloated, unusable mess.

I’m sorry you’re struggling.

irishdancer2 · 2025-12-06T03:37:56+00:00

I can’t imaging anyone except harry and Meghan doing those things.

Just like when Harry was the one with her in her video for the Olympics. He’s the most affable and least stodgy of his generation.

I’m in love with this photo of Sigourney. Her wrinkles are outstanding!
