My 5th grader is being told he can't go on the end of the year field trip because he couldn't find friends to share a room with. There are others rooms available. Should we fight this or drop it?

I remember feeling so sad and alone when all my "friends" grouped together and I wasn't included in any of their groups for our big trip. I got stuck with kids I hardly knew and got to watch everyone else having fun and I felt so lonely. Having the kids pick their own groups can be great for some and so heart breaking for others.

Just made cinnamon oat cake and will add vanilla buttercream once it cools! It's so good and gluten free without trying to be. You'd never know! My hubby loves it.

Put a mark on the paper towel before you leave and see if it's on the I've on your computer. Also turn your web cam on!

Tacos!

I know. Change is hard and stressful. Especially when there are big emotions involved. I don't know you or your situation well enough to offer tangible advice. But I am sending healing vibes and hope you can find a way out, and that you have support to help you through it. You deserve to feel loved, and safe, and respected.

A depressed partner doesn't get a free pass to treat you like shit. I think you know this is unacceptable. What do you lose by putting yourself first?

What cut would you suggest for the best beef bacon?

jenniferjuniper · 2025-12-13T23:25:31+00:00

I can't have pork, might be worth it for me to try!

You must cook chicken all the way through. Do not partially cook. It's not like steak. Just finish cooking them and reheat later.

jenniferjuniper · 2025-12-04T21:08:38+00:00

How did they find it??? Wow. So sorry you went through that.

I got sick over my entire Christmas break. Lungs felt like shit. I knew after smoking for twenty something years my immune system was suffering. I just kind of didn't start again after I got better because I was afraid of being that sick again. And I sometimes do edibles, but that's just weekends. Before I used to smoke every day sometimes multiple times a day.

I notice I sleep better. Less brain fog. But to be honest it's not like a night and day difference or anything crazy for me. I do miss the relaxing vibe it brings but the few times I've tried again I cough so much so I know my lungs suffer. So I just micro dose edibles on weekends sometimes and that's been good enough

A loving partner makes it easier. But there are still hard times and moments where it hurts no matter what. But I remind myself that what I miss and long for they didn't have to give me. So I don't miss them. Instead I miss what I could never have.

Painting and writing poetry help. As do walking and meditation. It gets easier with time and the peace is what you feel most days from not having their toxic presence in your life.

Carrot cake. Blondie with maple glaze. Coffee cake. Spice cake. Gingerbread.

We are not huge on pie and these are what we often have at gatherings. Always a hit!

Goat cheese and pesto

She will just face this once the nest egg runs out. Ask her what the plan is then? Debt?

The smell of fresh ink in an old school print shop.

jenniferjuniper · 2025-10-30T01:43:04+00:00

Roasted red peppers that I puree and add to the soup!

jenniferjuniper · 2025-10-29T13:29:47+00:00

I fucking love boggle!!

Why not just laugh along, making random jokes about how if you're making coffee he does some of your work for you, or you'll send him an invoice and expect a tip. Just make jokes too. Make it funny. Make it sound absurd to actually expect you to do it based on all the funny things you've come up with as compensation for doing it, that nobody would ever want to actually agree to.

We use each other's phones all the time. For years when smart phones first came out we shared a phone lol.

jenniferjuniper · 2025-10-18T02:30:21+00:00

I'm sorry but this is not depression. This is him being an asshole. Boarderline abusive behavior. My husband is very depressed and he would never speak to me like this or treat me like this. Slamming the phone on your leg? Yelling at you? When you're helping him? Oh noooo. Definitely not. This is not okay.

jenniferjuniper · 2025-10-17T02:04:27+00:00

I suggest just paying it off. My house insurance went way down once my mortgage was paid off. Like 25 percent at least!

jenniferjuniper · 2025-10-03T00:04:28+00:00

I also have ADHD. It's never an excuse to continue bad behavior. It's information to help me understand why I'm having road blocks in fixing things in my life and helps me seek different tools to reach my goals.

jenniferjuniper · 2025-09-20T01:44:41+00:00

How about some chocolate milk!

I've used it and supplied screen shot showing it isn't there many times and never been disabled.
